PROMISSORY NOTE

4025-002

	 	 	 
	$500,000.00

	 	February 28, 2005
	 

	 	San Jose, California

     The undersigned (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of VENTURE LENDING & LEASING
IV, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Lender”), at its office at 2010 North First Street, Suite
310, San Jose, California 95131, or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing, in
lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of Five Hundred Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), with Basic Interest thereon (except as otherwise provided
herein) from the date hereof until maturity, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a fixed rate
per annum equal to Seven and 788/1000 percent (7.788%) (the “Designated Rate”) and a Terminal
Payment in the sum of Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) payable on the Maturity
Date.

     This Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to all the benefits of, a
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September 30, 2004, between Borrower and Lender (the
“Loan Agreement”). Each capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning
set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement contains provisions for the acceleration
of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of certain stated events.

     Principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable as follows:

     On the Borrowing Date, Borrower shall pay (i) interest at a rate of twelve percent
(13.2%) per annum, in advance, on the outstanding principal balance of this Note for the
period from the Borrowing Date through February 28, 2005; and (ii) a first (1st)
amortization installment of principal and Basic Interest at the Designated Rate in the amount
of Fifteen Thousand Five Hundred Eighteen and 50/100 Dollars ($ 15,518.50), in advance for the
month of March, 2005 and (iii) a thirty-sixth
(36th), amortization installment of principal
and Basic Interest at the Designated Rate in the amount of Fifteen Thousand Five Hundred
Eighteen and 50/100 Dollars ($15,518.50), in advance for the month of February, 2008.

     Commencing on the first day of the second full month after the Borrowing Date, and
continuing on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter, principal and Basic Interest
at the Designated Rate shall be payable, in advance, in thirty-three (33) equal consecutive
installments of Fifteen Thousand Five Hundred Eighteen and 50/100 Dollars ($15,518.50) each,
with a 34th installment equal to the entire unpaid principal balance and accrued Basic
Interest at the Designated Rate on January 1, 2008. The Terminal Payment and unpaid expenses,
fees, interest and principal amount shall be due and payable on February 1, 2008.

     Any unpaid payments of principal or interest on this Note shall bear interest from
their respective maturities, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a rate per annum equal
to the Default Rate. Borrower shall pay such interest on demand.

     Interest, charges and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a
360-day year, which results in higher interest, charge or fee payments than if a 365-day year
were used. In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay interest, charges or fees at a rate
in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect.

     This Note may be voluntarily prepaid only as permitted under Section 2 of
Part 2 of the Supplement to the Loan Agreement.

 

 

     If Borrower is late in making any payment under this Note by more than five (5) Business
Days, Borrower agrees to pay a “late charge” of five percent (5%) of the installment due, but not
less than fifty dollars ($50.00) for any one such delinquent payment. This late charge may be
charged by Lender for the purpose of defraying the expenses incidental to the handling of such
delinquent amounts. Borrower acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable sum
considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Note and represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs that will be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to
make timely payments. Borrower further agrees that proof of actual damages would be costly and
inconvenient. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect
any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare a default under this Note or any of the other
Loan Documents or from exercising any other rights and remedies of Lender.

     This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State
of California.

Sale and Purchase of Notes and Warrants.

          Section 2.1
Authorization and Issue of Notes and Warrants: Payment of
Interest.

          (a) The Issuer has authorized the issuance, sale and delivery of its Senior
Subordinated Notes Due 2008 in the aggregate principal amount of $20,000,000, to be
dated the Closing Date, to mature on the Maturity Date, and to be substantially in the
form of Exhibit D hereto (all such Notes originally issued pursuant to this Agreement, or
delivered in substitution or exchange for any thereof, being collectively called the
“Notes” and individually a “Note”).

          (b) The Notes shall bear interest, computed on the basis of a 360-day year
and actual days elapsed, from the Closing Date until paid in full at the rate of 15% per
annum. So long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
interest rates applicable to the Notes shall be automatically increased by 5% per annum
above the rate of interest otherwise applicable hereunder
(“Default Rate”), and all
outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Interest at the Default
Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until such Event of
Default is waived and such interest is paid in full.

          (c) Interest (including interest at the Default Rate) shall be payable on the
Notes quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on December
31, 2003, and at maturity and shall be paid in cash in accordance with Section 2.5;
provided, that on any Interest Payment Date through and
including June 30, 2006,
interest
on the Notes shall be paid in kind by capitalizing such interest and adding it to the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each Purchaser,
pro rata, effective as of the

-17-

 

applicable Interest Payment Date (such capitalized interest being the “Capitalized
 Interest”), provided that, at the option of
the Issuer, beginning December 31, 2004, up
to all of such Capitalized Interest may be paid in cash. Interest on the Notes which has become
Capitalized Interest shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to be principal of the
Notes. The Issuer shall give each Purchaser an irrevocable notice that Issuer will exercise such
right specifying the amount of interest to be so paid in kind at least three Business Days prior to
any Interest Payment Date as to which such right is to be exercised. Accrued interest on the
principal of any Note shall be payable in cash on the date such principal becomes due and payable,
whether on the Maturity Date, upon earlier prepayment, upon acceleration or otherwise.

          (d) Issuer has authorized the issuance, sale and delivery of its warrants, initially
exercisable to purchase an aggregate of up to 3,400,339 shares (subject to adjustment as therein
provided) of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $.01 per
share (subject to adjustment as therein provided) to be substantially
in the form of Exhibit E
attached hereto (all such warrants originally issued pursuant to this Agreement, or delivered in
substitution or exchange for any thereof, being collectively called the “Warrants” and individually
a “Warrant”).

          Section 2.2
Issuance and Sale of Notes and Warrants on the Closing Date. Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, as provided in Section 2.4 on the Closing
Date the Issuer will issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers will purchase from the
Issuer, the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $20,000,000, and the Warrants.

          Section 2.3
Notes. The Notes issued pursuant hereto shall evidence the principal
amounts of all Notes sold hereunder (including any interest which is capitalized under Section
2.1(c)), and the date and principal amount of each purchase and sale of Notes to the Purchasers by
the Issuer, as well as each payment or prepayment made on account of the principal thereof, and in
each case the resulting aggregate unpaid principal balance thereof, shall be recorded by each
Purchaser on its books; provided, further, that failure by any Purchaser to make any such
recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or under such Note. Each such
recordation by a Purchaser shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of
manifest error.

          Section 2.4
Closing. The sale and delivery of the Notes and Warrants to be issued
pursuant to Section 2.2 shall take place at the offices of Paul,
Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP, 1055
Washington Boulevard, Stamford, CT at 10:00 A.M., New York time on December 9, 2003 (or such other
time and place as the parties shall agree) (herein called the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date,
subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, the following shall occur:

          (a) each Purchaser shall deliver to the Issuer immediately available funds in Dollars in the
amount set forth on Annex 1 hereto for such Purchaser and the Issuer shall deliver to such
Purchaser a single Note representing the Notes registered in such Purchaser’s name, duly executed
by the Issuer and dated the Closing Date, in a principal amount equal to the amount so purchased by
such Purchaser, and

-18-

 

          (b) Issuer will deliver to each Purchaser Warrants to purchase the number of authorized
but unissued shares of its Common Stock (subject to adjustment as therein provided) set forth on
Annex 1 hereto for such Purchaser, in such denominations as such Purchaser shall specify, duly
executed and dated the Closing Date.

          Section 2.5
Payments. Each payment by the Issuer hereunder of the principal amount
of the Notes, interest thereon, Prepayment Premium, fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and other
Obligations due hereunder and under the other Note Documents shall be made in Dollars by wire
transfer or other immediately available funds, without deduction (except as provided in Section
3.4(b)), set-off or counterclaim, to the Purchaser entitled to receive such payment at such office
or bank account as shall be specified by such Purchaser from time to time by written notice to the
Issuer, not later than 2:00 P.M. (Eastern Time) on the date on which such payment shall become due
(each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day). Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be
due on a day other than a Business Day, that payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day.

          Section 2.6
Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding any provisions of this
Agreement, the Notes or the other Note Documents, in no event shall the amount of interest paid or
agreed to be paid by the Issuer exceed an amount computed at the highest rate of interest
permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any
provision of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Note Documents at the time performance of such
provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the interest rate limitation validly prescribed by
law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable
hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced to an amount computed at the highest rate of
interest permissible under applicable law, and if for any reason whatsoever any Purchaser shall
ever receive as interest an amount which would be deemed unlawful under such applicable law such
interest shall be automatically applied to the payment of principal of the Notes outstanding
hereunder (whether or not then due and payable), without prepayment charge, premium or penalty, and
not to the payment of interest, or shall be refunded to the Issuer if such principal and all other
Obligations of the Issuer to such Purchaser have been paid in full.

          Section 2.7
Allocation of Purchase Price. It is hereby agreed that, for purposes
of Treasury Regulations 1.1273-2(h),(A)(i) the aggregate “issue price” of the investment unit
consisting of the Notes and the Warrants to be issued pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement on
the Closing Date is equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, (ii) the aggregate fair
market value and, aggregate purchase price of the Notes to be issued on the Closing Date is
$19,012,218, and (iii) the aggregate fair market value and aggregate purchase price of the Warrants
is $987,702. The Issuer and the Purchasers agree to use the foregoing issue price, purchase prices
and fair market values for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to this transaction
(unless otherwise required by a final determination by the IRS or a court of competent
jurisdiction) and for all other financial accounting purposes.

part at any time or from time to time at the greater of (i) the principal amount of Notes
being prepaid together with accrued but unpaid interest on such amount to the date of
such prepayment or (ii) 125% of the principal amount of Notes being prepaid less any
cash interest paid on such Notes in accordance with Section 2.1(c) (the “Prepayment

          (b) Upon the occurrence of (i) an initial public offering of shares of the
Company’s Common Stock; (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the IVUS Assets; or

all outstanding Notes at the Prepayment Amount.

          Section 3.2
Notice of Prepayment of the Notes. The Issuer shall call Notes for
prepayment pursuant to Section 3.1 by giving written notice thereof to the Purchasers not less than
15 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Such notice shall specify (a)
the date fixed for such prepayment and (b) the Prepayment Amount to be paid. Notice of prepayment
having been so given, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so to be prepaid as specified in

Credit Party under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Note Document to each
Purchaser shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future Charges excluding Charges (including income taxes and franchise taxes) imposed
on or measured by the net income of such Purchaser by the jurisdiction (or a political
subdivision thereof) in which such Purchaser is organized, and/or in which its principal
office is located (all such non-excluded Charges being hereinafter
referred to as “Taxes”).

          (b) If any Credit Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes
imposed by any taxing authority or other Governmental Body from or in respect of any
sum payable under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Note Document to any
Purchaser, except as provided in subsection (f) of this Section 3.4, the sum payable to the
Purchaser shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 3.4), such Purchaser receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been required, the Issuer shall make, or cause the applicable
Credit Party to make, such deductions and the Issuer shall pay, or cause the applicable
Credit Party to pay, the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
Governmental Body in accordance with applicable law.

          (c) In addition, to the extent not precluded from doing so pursuant to
applicable law, the Issuer agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes
or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any
payment made under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Note Document or from the
execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement, the Notes or any other Note Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other
Taxes”).

          (d) The Issuer will indemnify each Purchaser for the full amount of Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed by any taxing authority or other Governmental Body and paid by

Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided,
however, that the Issuer shall not
be obligated to make payment pursuant to this subsection (d) with respect to penalties,
interest and other liabilities resulting from negligence or willful misconduct of the
Purchaser. This indemnification shall be made (net of any Charges due by Purchaser
with respect to such refund) within thirty (30) days from the date a Purchaser or partner,
as applicable makes written demand therefor.

          (e) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other
Taxes, the Issuer will furnish to the applicable Purchaser the original or a certified copy
of any receipt evidencing payment thereof.

          (f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained
herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 3.4 shall survive the
payment in full of principal, interest, fees and any other amounts payable hereunder
(other than amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.4).

-21-

 

          (g) If and to the extent any Purchaser receives a tax credit or refund which, in its
reasonable discretion, it attributes to Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which a Credit Party
had paid an additional amount or an indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 3.4, such Purchaser
shall reimburse the applicable Credit Party the net amount of such tax credit or refund received
(or, in the case of a tax credit, deemed received) by such Purchaser within thirty (30) days of the
date such tax credit or refund is (or, in the case of a tax credit, deemed received) received.

          Section 3.5
Purchase of Notes. Without the prior written consent of the Required
Purchasers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Issuer shall not, nor will it
permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, acquire directly or indirectly by purchase or
prepayment or otherwise any of the outstanding Notes or Warrants except by way of payment or
prepayment in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and Warrants and of this Agreement. If
any Credit Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates acquires any Notes pursuant to
any such offer in violation of this Section 3.5 or in any other manner, such Notes shall thereafter
be canceled and shall not be reissued, no Note shall be issued in substitution therefor, and such
Notes shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose under this Agreement.

          Section 4.11
Taxes. Each Credit Party has filed all federal, state, local and
foreign tax returns, informational returns and excise tax returns, or has timely filed extensions
thereto, which are required to have been filed by it
(“Tax Returns”), all such Tax Returns are
true, correct and complete in all material respects and there have been paid all taxes shown to be
due and payable on such returns and all other material taxes and assessments payable by it, unless
any tax liability is being diligently contested in good faith and such Credit Party has adequately
reserved against such tax liability on its books and financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
No material tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such
taxes as of the date hereof. No audit or other examination of any Tax Returns is presently in
progress, nor has the Company been notified of any request for such audit or examination. Except as
set forth on Schedule 4.11, no material tax assessment against any Credit Party has been proposed,
formally or informally and to the knowledge of each Credit Party, no basis exists for such
adjustment, and all of its tax liabilities are adequately provided for on its books and financial
statements in accordance with GAAP. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by each Credit
Party from its respective employees, independent contractors, creditors, members, partners and
other third parties for all periods in full and complete compliance with all applicable federal,
state, local and foreign laws and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective
Governmental Bodies. No Credit Party has executed or filed with the IRS or any other Governmental
Body any agreement or other document extending, or having the effect of extending, the period for
assessment or collection of any Charges. As of the Closing Date, no Credit Party has agreed or been
requested to make any adjustment under Section 481(a) of the Code, by reason of a change in
accounting method or otherwise, which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 4.12
Disclosure. None of the representations or warranties made by or on
behalf of any Credit Party in the Note Documents as of the date such representations and warranties
are made or deemed made, and none of the statements contained in each exhibit, report, statement or
certificate furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party in connection with the Note Documents in
writing (including the offering and disclosure materials, if any, delivered by or on behalf of any
Credit Party to the Purchasers prior to the Closing Date), contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading as
of the time when made or delivered. No Credit Party knows of any facts (other than matters of a
general economic or political nature) that individually or in the aggregate have had a Material
Adverse Effect or, so far as the Credit Parties can now reasonably foresee, would have a Material
Adverse Effect in the future.

-26-

 

          Section 4.13
Private Offering. No form of general solicitation or general
advertising was used by any Credit Party or any of its representatives in connection with the offer
or sale of the Notes of Warrants. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations in this
Agreement, no registration of the Notes or Warrants, pursuant to the provisions of the Securities
Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws, will be required by the offer, sale or issuance of
the Notes or Warrants. The Credit Parties agree that neither they, nor anyone acting on their
behalf, shall offer to sell the Notes or Warrants or any other securities of the Issuer so as to
require the registration of the Notes or Warrants pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act
or any state securities or “blue sky” laws, unless the Notes, Warrants or other securities are so
registered.

          Section 4.14

          Section 8.8
Further Assurances. Promptly upon request by the Required Purchasers, the
Credit Parties shall take such additional actions as the Required Purchasers may reasonably require
from time to time in order (i) to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement or any
other Note Document, (ii) to better assure, convey, grant, assign, transfer, preserve, protect and
confirm to the Purchasers the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be granted to the
Purchasers under any Note Document or under any other document executed in connection therewith.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise approved in writing by
Required Purchasers, the Issuer shall cause each other Credit Party to become a party to the
Guarantee. Promptly upon any Person becoming a Subsidiary of the Issuer in accordance with the
terms hereof, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, the Issuer shall immediately provide
written notice thereof to the Purchasers, and shall promptly cause such Subsidiary to become a
party to the Guarantee. The Issuer shall also deliver an opinion of counsel to such Subsidiary
covering such legal matters with respect to such Subsidiary becoming a party to the Guarantee as
the Required Purchasers may reasonably request.

          Section 8.9 Brokers Fees. Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify the Purchasers and hold
each of them harmless against any loss, cost, claim or liability (including reasonable attorneys’

relating to any actual or alleged broker’s or finder’s fee or commission with respect to the
issuance and sale of the Notes or the Warrants.

securities under such circumstances as to involve the Issuer in a violation of Regulation X of said
Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board
(12 CFR 220). None of the Credit Parties nor any agent acting on their behalf have taken or will
take any action which might cause this Agreement or the Notes or Warrants to violate Regulation U,
Regulation X, Regulation T or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect now or as the same may hereafter
be in effect. As used in this Section, the term “purpose of buying or carrying” has the meaning

subordinated Indebtedness, and accordingly is, and shall be at all times while the Notes remain
outstanding or the Purchasers have any obligation to purchase Notes hereunder, (i) senior in right
of payment to, or pari passu with, all other

-39-

 

unsecured Indebtedness (other than the unsecured portion, if any, of the Senior Obligations), of
such Credit Party, as the case may be, respectively, and (ii) senior in right of payment to all
other Indebtedness of such Credit Party, as the case may be, which, under the terms of the
documents pursuant to or in connection with which such Indebtedness was created or incurred, is
subordinated in right of payment to some or all of the other Indebtedness (other than the Senior
Obligations) of such Credit Party, as the case may be.

          Section 8.13 Additional Guarantors. The Credit Parties shall notify the Purchasers at
the time that any Person becomes a Subsidiary, and promptly thereafter (and in any event within 30
days), (a) cause such Person to (i) become a Guarantor by executing and delivering to the
Purchasers a Joinder or such other guarantee or documents as Required Purchasers shall deem
appropriate for such purpose, (ii) if requested by Required Purchasers, deliver to Purchasers
favorable opinions of counsel to such Person (which shall cover, among other things, the legality,
validity, binding effect and enforceability of the documentation referred to in clause (i)), and
such other certificates and documents as the Required Purchasers may request, all in form, content
and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Required Purchasers; provided that, no new Subsidiary that
is a controlled foreign corporation under Section 957 of the Code shall be required to become a
Guarantor if such guaranty would reasonably be expected to result in any material incremental
income tax liability from consolidating any such Subsidiary’s financial statements with the Credit
Parties for US tax-reporting purposes.

Prepayment Amount of all Notes, and all fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and other Obligations
payable under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Note Document, shall automatically become
immediately due and payable and all obligations of the Purchasers to purchase Notes hereunder shall
terminate, without presentment, demand, notice, declaration, protest or other requirements of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, or (ii) upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any other Event of Default, the Required Purchasers may, by written notice to the
Issuer, declare the Prepayment Amount to be, and the same shall forthwith become, immediately due
and payable, together with all fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and other Obligations payable
under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Note Document and all obligations of the Purchasers to
purchase Notes hereunder shall terminate, all without presentment, demand, notice, protest or other
requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

          Section 10.2 Suits for Enforcement; Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Purchasers may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the Purchasers, either
by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for the specific performance of any
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Note Document or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or any other Note Document, and may proceed to
enforce the payment of all sums due upon the Notes and any other Obligations, and such further
amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection (including counsel
fees and disbursements), or to enforce any other legal or equitable right of the Purchasers.

          Section 10.3 Remedies Cumulative. No remedy conferred herein or in the Notes or any
other Note Document upon the Purchasers is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each
and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.

          Section 10.4 Remedies Not Waived. No course of dealing between the any Credit Party and
any Purchaser, and no delay or failure in exercising any rights hereunder or under this Agreement
or any other Note Document in respect thereof, shall operate as a waiver of any of the rights of
any Purchaser.

     Section 11. Registration, Exchange, and Transfer of Notes. The Issuer will keep at its
principal executive office a register, in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, but at its expense (other than transfer taxes, if any), the Issuer will provide for the
registration and transfer of its Notes. Whenever any Note or Notes shall be surrendered by a
Purchaser either at the principal executive office of the Issuer, or at the place of payment named
in the Note, for transfer or exchange, accompanied (if so required by the Issuer) by a written
instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer duly executed by such
Purchaser or by such Purchaser’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Issuer will execute and
deliver in

-49-

 

exchange therefor a new Note or Notes in such denominations as may be requested by such Purchaser,
of like tenor and in the same aggregate unpaid principal amount as the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of the Note or Notes so surrendered. Any Note issued in exchange for any other Note or upon
transfer thereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to accrue which were
carried by the Note so exchanged or transferred, and neither gain nor loss of interest shall result
from any such transfer or exchange. Any transfer tax or governmental charge relating to such
transaction shall be paid by the Purchaser requesting the exchange. The Issuer and any of its
agents may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the sole and exclusive record
and beneficial Purchaser and owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of the
principal of, prepayment charge (if any) and interest and other amounts on such Note and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue.

     Section 12. Lost, Stolen, Damaged and Destroyed Notes. At the request of any
Purchaser, the Issuer will issue and deliver at their expense, in replacement of any Note or Notes
issued by the Issuer lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, upon surrender thereof, if mutilated, a
new Note or Notes in the same aggregate unpaid principal amount, and otherwise of the same tenor,
as the Note or Notes so lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, duly executed by the Issuer. The Issuer
may condition the replacement of a Note or Notes
reported by the Purchaser thereof as lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, upon the receipt from such
Purchaser of an indemnity and/or security reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer; provided that if
such Purchaser shall be FFC Partners II, L.P., FFC Executive Partners II, L.P. or nominee thereof,
such Purchaser’s unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be sufficient for purposes of this Section.

     Section 13. Miscellaneous.

          Section 13.1 Amendment and Waiver.

          (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Note
Document, or any consent to any departure by any Credit Party, shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Purchasers and the Issuer. Any such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of the Purchasers in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes or any of the Note Documents shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Except as otherwise
provided herein or in the Notes or any Note Document, no notice to or demand on the Credit Parties
or any other Person in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand
in the same, similar or other circumstances.

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 13.1, without the specific
prior written consent of all of the Purchasers, no amendment, waiver or consent referred to in such
subsection (a) shall (i) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on, or the fees payable
with respect to, or the Prepayment Amount of, any of the Notes, (ii) extend the time for payment of
all or any portion of the principal of or interest

-50-

 

on, or fees payable with respect to, any of the Notes, (iii) reduce the percentage of the Notes
required with respect to any such amendment or to effectuate any such waiver or consent, or modify
the definitions herein of the term “Required Purchasers”, or (iv) modify any provision of this
Section 13.1.

          Section 13.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by or on behalf of any party to
this Agreement or otherwise in connection herewith, shall (i) survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the delivery of the Notes and Warrants to the Purchasers and shall continue in
effect until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Notes are
outstanding, and thereafter as provided in Section 13.5 with respect to the obligations imposed
thereunder, and (ii) be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by the Purchasers,
regardless of any investigation made by the Purchasers or on their behalf.

          Section 13.3 Successors and Assigns.

          (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Issuer and the
Purchasers, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Credit
Party shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein or to delegate any
of its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchasers. The terms and
provisions of this Agreement are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of
the Credit Parties and the Purchasers with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and no
Person shall be a third party beneficiary of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or
any of the other Note Documents.

          (b) Any
Purchaser (the “Assignor”) may at any time at its cost and expense sell or assign to any
Person (each an “Assignee”) all or any part of its interests in the Notes, this Agreement and the
other Note Documents and in the obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder and thereunder, and
each such Assignee shall assume the obligations of the Assignor hereunder and thereunder, to the
extent provided in such assignment, and to the extent of such assumption the Assignor shall be
released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder. Upon execution and delivery of such an
instrument, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have the rights and
obligations of a Purchaser (including its rights under
this Section 13.3(b)), to the extent of such assignment, and the Assignor shall be released from
its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent. Upon the consummation of any assignment by the
Assignor pursuant to this Section 13.3(b), the Assignor and the Issuer shall make appropriate
arrangements so that, if required, new Notes shall be issued to the Assignor and the Assignee. The
Assignor shall give the Issuer prior written notice of the date that any such assignment shall
become effective, which date shall be no less than ten days after the date such notice is given.

          Section 13.4 Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be conclusively
deemed to have been received and shall be effective (a) on the Business Day on which delivered if
delivered personally or transmitted by telecopier, (b) one

-51-

 

Business Day after the date on which the same is delivered to a nationally recognized overnight
courier service, or (c) three Business Days after being sent by registered or certified United
States mail, return receipt requested, and shall be addressed:

          Section 13.5
Indemnification. The Issuer agrees to defend, indemnify, exonerate and hold
harmless each Purchaser and its affiliates and each of their respective officers, partners,
members, directors, stockholders, trustees, employees and agents (herein collectively called the
“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (excluding any loss in
the value of the Warrants or Warrant Stock), damages,
claims, actions, suits, proceedings, judgments, costs and expenses, including

-52-

 

legal fees and other expenses incurred in the investigation, defense, appeal and settlement of
claims, actions, suits and proceedings (herein collectively called the “Indemnified Liabilities”),
incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of or relating to:

               any action or failure to act by any Credit Party;

               any statements or omissions made in any disclosure or other
information or materials used in connection with the Transactions, including any sale,
syndication or other transfer of securities of the Issuer;

               the action or failure to act by an Indemnitee with the consent or in reliance on any action or
failure to act of any Credit Party;

               the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this
Agreement, the other Note Documents or any other instrument or document contemplated hereby or
thereby by any of the Indemnitees, or the Transactions or any act, event or transaction related or
attendant thereto or contemplated hereby or thereby, or any action or inaction by any Indemnitee
under or in connection therewith; or

               any Environmental Matter, any Environmental Law or the actual or alleged existence or release of
any Hazardous Material

except with respect to any Indemnitee for any such Indemnified Liabilities that are finally
judicially determined to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct, and if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any
reason, the Issuer agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each
of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The obligations of the
Issuer under this Section 13.5 shall be in addition to any liability that it may otherwise have and
shall survive the payment or prepayment in full or transfer of any Note or Warrant and the
enforcement of any provision hereof or thereof.

          Section 13.6
Expenses. The Issuer agrees whether or not the
transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated, to reimburse the Purchasers for all
reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of a single
legal counsel (which shall include special or local counsel) incurred in connection with any of the
following:

               (a) any written amendment, modification or waiver of, consent
with respect to, or termination of, any of the Note Documents or, to the extent required as a
result of a Default or Event of Default or the enforcement of any Purchaser’s remedies against
Issuer, advice in connection with the administration of the Note Documents and the Transactions
contemplated thereby related to;

               (b) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action instituted by any Purchaser or
Credit Party (whether as a party, witness or otherwise) which in any way relates to any of the Note
Documents or any other agreement to be executed or delivered in connection therewith or herewith
(including any such litigation,

-53-

 

contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action arising in connection with any work-out or
restructuring with respect to the Notes during the pendency of one or more Defaults or Events of
Default);

     (c) any attempt to enforce any remedies of any Purchaser against any Person that may be obligated
to the Purchasers pursuant to any of the Note Documents; (including any such attempt to enforce any
such remedies in the course of any work-out or restructuring of the Notes) during the pendency of
one or more Defaults or Events of Default;

     (d) any work-out or restructuring of the Notes during the pendency of one or more Defaults or
Events of Default, including without limitation any actions described in clause (f) below in
connection with the foregoing;

including, as to each of clauses (a) through (d) above, all attorneys’ and other professional and
service providers’ fees arising from such services, including those in connection with any
appellate proceedings; and all expenses, costs, charges and other fees incurred by such counsel and
others in connection with or relating to any of the events or actions described in this Section
13.6 shall be payable, on demand, by the Issuer to the Purchasers. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, such expenses, costs, charges and fees may include: reasonable fees, costs and
expenses of accountants, environmental advisors, appraisers, investment bankers, management and
other consultants and paralegals (if, and to the extent that, their employment is reasonably
required by the circumstances); court costs and expenses; photocopying and duplication expenses;
court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; air express charges;
secretarial overtime charges; and expenses for travel, lodging and food reasonably paid or incurred
in connection with the performance of such legal or other advisory services. The obligations of the
Issuer under this Section 13.6 shall survive the payment in full or transfer of any Note or Warrant
(including the payment or prepayment of the Notes in full), the enforcement of any provision hereof
or thereof, any such amendments, waivers or consents, any Default or Event of Default, and any such
workout, restructuring or similar arrangement.

          Section 13.7
Director Expenses. The Issuer agrees to reimburse any representative of the
Purchasers that serves on the Issuer’s board of directors consistent with that of all other
non-employee directors of the Issuer and that the reasonable out-of-pocket and travel expenses of
such directors incurred in attending Board meetings (or meetings of committees thereof) or in
connection with the performance of their duties as directors shall be paid or reimbursed promptly
by the Issuer.

          Section 13.8
Public Announcements.

          (a) The Issuer agrees that it will not issue any press release or make any other public
announcement, statement or filing with regard to this Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants or the
other Note Documents or the Transactions which discloses the name of any Purchaser or which
discloses any material terms of the Note Documents without the prior approval of the Required
Purchasers, which approval shall not be unreasonably

-54-

 

withheld and shall in no event be withheld in any case where such press release, public
announcement, statement or filing is required by applicable law (including applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC).

          (b) Each Purchaser agrees that it will not issue any press release or make any other public
announcement, statement or filing with regard to this Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants or the
other Note Documents or the Transactions which discloses the
name of the Issuer or which discloses any material terms of the Note Documents without
the prior approval of the Issuer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall
in no event be withheld in any case where such press release, public announcement, statement or
filing is required by applicable law (including applicable rules and regulations of the SEC).

          Section 13.9
No Fiduciary Relationship. The Purchasers shall not, by reason of their
purchase or holding of Notes or Warrants pursuant to this Agreement, be deemed to have any
fiduciary or other special relationship with the Credit Parties. No provision of this Agreement,
the Notes, the Warrants, the other Transaction Documents
or any of the other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith shall be
construed to create a fiduciary duty on the part of the Purchasers or any trustee or agent therefor
in favor of the Credit Parties, any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, stockholders or creditors. No Purchaser shall have any
liability with respect to, and the Credit Parties hereby waive, release and
agree not to sue for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by the Credit
Parties in  connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Transaction Documents
or the transactions contemplated thereby.

          Section 13.10
Integration and Severability; Reinstatement. This Agreement (including the
schedules and exhibits thereto), the Notes, the Warrants, the
other Transaction Documents and the other documents executed pursuant to this Agreement embody the
entire agreement and understanding between the Purchasers and the Credit Parties, and supersede all
prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. In case any one or more
of the provisions contained in this Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants, the other Transaction
Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document executed in connection therewith, or any
application thereof, shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein, and any other
application thereof, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or
against the Issuer for liquidation or reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an
assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall continue to be
effective or to be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the
Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount,
or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable
preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had
not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored

-55-

 

or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and
not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

          Section 13.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall together constitute one and the
same instrument.

          Section 13.12 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          Section 13.13
Submission to Jurisdiction: Waiver of Service and Venue.

          (a) THE ISSUER CONSENTS AND AGREES TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN
THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON VENUE OR FORUM NON
CONVENIENS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION INSTITUTED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT UPON THE WRITTEN
CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED PURCHASERS, ANY DISPUTE CONCERNING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PURCHASERS, ON
THE ONE HAND, AND THE ISSUER, ON THE OTHER HAND, OR THE CONDUCT OF ANY PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE HEARD ONLY IN THE COURTS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

          (b) THE ISSUER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND CONSENTS THAT ALL
SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY HAND DELIVERY OR BY A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED OVERNIGHT
COURIER SERVICE TO SUCH ISSUER ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH ABOVE IN SECTION 13.4.

          (c) NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 13.12 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE PURCHASERS TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS
IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE PURCHASERS (UPON THE CONSENT OF THE
REQUIRED PURCHASERS AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 13.12(a)) TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE
ISSUER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

          Section 13.14
Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT,
ANY NOTE, ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR
DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE
DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM IN RESPECT TO THIS

-56-

 

AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR
DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR
HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY
COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS
AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF
THEIR RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Agreement by their duly authorized officers as of the date first written above.
