Series C Convertible Note

	 	 	 
	Issuance Date: October 21, 2014

	 	Original Principal Amount: U.S. $[?]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, METALICO, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to
pay to [?] or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the amount set out above as the Original Principal
Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise,
the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), acceleration,
redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest
(“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate (as
defined below) from the date set out above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the
same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest Date (as defined below), the Maturity Date,
acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms
hereof). This Series C Convertible Note (including all Series C Convertible Notes issued in
exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) is one of an issue of Series A Convertible
Notes, Series B Convertible Notes and Series C Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange
Agreement on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Notes” and such other Series A Convertible Notes,
Series B Convertible Notes and Series C Convertible Notes, the “Other Notes”). Certain capitalized
terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein or in Section 29 hereof shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Exchange Agreement.

(1) MATURITY. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an
amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, and accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued
and unpaid Late Charges, if any, on such Principal and Interest. The “Maturity Date” shall be July
1, 2024, as may be extended at the option of the Holder.

(2) INTEREST; INTEREST RATE. (a) Interest on this Note shall
commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and
twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in arrears for each three-month period following the
Issuance Date on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year and on the Maturity Date
(each, an “Interest Date”) with the first Interest Date being October 31, 2014. Interest shall be
payable on each Interest Date in kind, which shall accrete as additional Principal and be payable
or convertible in accordance with the terms of this Note, including the provisions of Section
3(d), to the record holder of this Note on each January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15
immediately preceding the applicable Interest Date and on the Maturity Date, with respect to the
Interest to be paid on such date.

(b) Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note
shall accrue at the Interest Rate. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall be increased to 16.50% per annum, payable in kind, which
shall accrete as additional Principal and be payable or convertible in accordance with the terms of
this Note, including the provisions of Section 3(d). In the event that such Event of
Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to
be effective as of the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated
and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to
apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and
including the date of cure of such Event of Default.

(3) CONVERSION OF NOTES. The Principal of this Note and any accrued and
unpaid Interest shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001
per share (the “Common Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at
any time or times on or after the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Holder shall
be entitled to convert any portion of the Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest into fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the
Conversion Rate (as defined below); provided that if the Stockholder Approval (as
defined in the Exchange Agreement) is received prior to such six (6) month anniversary, the Holder
shall have the right to convert this Note at any time following such Stockholder Approval.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall only be permitted to effect a voluntary conversion
of this Note pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof prior to the Measuring Date (as defined
below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion.
If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Holder
shall be entitled, at the Holder’s option, to receive either (x) a cash payment equal to the excess
of the amount of the Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest to be converted for such
fractional share or (y) a whole share if the Holder converts an additional portion of its Principal
and any accrued and unpaid Interest so as to acquire one whole share. The Company shall pay any
and all transfer, stamp, and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and
delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest.

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the amount of Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest to be converted pursuant
to Section 3(a) shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) such Principal
amount and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion
Rate”). The “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below), 110% of the
arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock on each of the thirty (30)
consecutive Trading Days including the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days prior to April 30,
2015 and the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including April 30, 2015. For
purposes of this Note, the “Measuring Date” shall mean the final Trading Day of the period
consisting of each of the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days commencing on, and including April
30, 2015.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any or all of the Principal and any
accrued and unpaid Interest into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the
Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59
p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by
Section 3(c)(iii), surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as
soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to
this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).

(ii) On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of
receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a confirmation of receipt
of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”).
On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the Measuring Date, the Company shall transmit
by facsimile notice to the Holder of the initial Conversion Price pursuant to Section 3(b), setting
forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such Conversion Price.  Within three
(3) Trading Days of the later of (i) the Conversion Date or the Measuring Date (the “Share Delivery
Date”), the Company shall (x) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository
Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s
balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (y) if the Transfer
Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver
to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the
Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be
entitled. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section
3(c)(iii) and less than all of the Principal of this Note is being converted, then the Company
shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of
this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note (in accordance with
Section 17(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons
entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the
Conversion Date.

(iii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail to
issue a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, as applicable,
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon conversion of any
Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest on or prior to the date which is three (3) Trading
Days after the Conversion Date (a “Conversion Failure”), then (A) the Company shall pay damages to
the Holder for each Trading Day of such Conversion Failure in an amount equal to 1.5% of the
product of (1) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior
to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (2) the Closing Sale Price of
the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date and (B) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company,
may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be,
any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice;
provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s
obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to
this Section 3(c)(iii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3)
Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company
shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account
with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such
holder’s conversion of any Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest so elected for conversion
or on any date of the Company’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock as contemplated
pursuant to clause (y) below, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company
(a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and
in the Holder’s discretion, either (x) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s
obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (y)
promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing
such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the
Buy-In Price over the product of (I) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (II) the Closing
Bid Price on the Conversion Date.

(iv) Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall cause its transfer agent
to maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
holders of each Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered
Notes”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes, including, without limitation,
the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of
such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a request to assign or sell all or
part of any Registered Note by a Holder, the Company shall record the information contained therein
in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount
as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee
pursuant to Section 17. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon
conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be
required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Principal amount
represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior
written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this
Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records
showing the Principal, Interest, and Late Charges, if any, converted and the dates of such
conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company,
so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

(v) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a
Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company
can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company,
subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes
converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for
conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such
holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such
date; provided, the Company shall also comply with the provisions of Section 3(a)
in respect of fractional shares that would otherwise be issued. In the event of a dispute as to
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this
Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and
resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 22.

(d) Limitations on Conversions.

(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any conversion of
this Note or otherwise issue shares of Common Stock hereunder, and the Holder of this Note shall
not have the right to convert any portion of this Note or otherwise receive shares of Common Stock
hereunder pursuant to Section 3(a), to the extent that after giving effect to such
conversion or issuance, as applicable, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates) would
beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note
with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the
number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining,
unconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B)
exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the
Company (including, without limitation, any Other Notes) subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of
its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section
3(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of this Section
3(d)(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely
on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent
Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a more
recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer
Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time,
upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day of
the receipt of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Note, by the Holder or its affiliates and any Other Notes since the date as of which
such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this paragraph
shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms
of this Section 3(d)(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be
defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to
make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. To
the extent the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to
this Section 3(d)(i), in lieu of issuing such shares of Common Stock, the Holder shall be
entitled to receive rights to such shares pursuant to Section 4 of the Exchange Agreement.

(ii) Market Regulation. Unless and until the Stockholder Approval (as
defined in the Exchange Agreement) has been obtained, the Company shall not be obligated to issue
any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this
Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock combined with the issuance of shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the other Securities (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) and shares of Common
Stock underlying warrants issued to TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. or an affiliate thereof on or about
the Closing Date (the “Warrants”), together with such shares of Common Stock issued or issuable
pursuant to the Other Agreements (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) would, in the aggregate,
exceed 9,645,043 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock
combination, reclassification or similar transaction) (which is less than 20% of 48,225,219 shares
of Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof) (the “Exchange Cap”).  Until such Stockholder
Approval is obtained, (x) at any time during the Additional Common Shares Measurement Period (as
defined in the Exchange Agreement), the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note, and (y)
at any time after the Additional Common Shares Measurement Period, no holder of the Notes shall be
issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of Notes, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than
the product of (A) 80% of the Remaining Exchange Cap (as defined in the Exchange Agreement),
multiplied by (B) such Holder’s Pro Rata Portion (with respect to each such holder of the Notes,
the “Exchange Cap Allocation”).  In the event that any holder of the Notes shall sell or otherwise
transfer any of such holder’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such
holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such
transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such
transferee.  In the event that any holder of Notes shall convert all of such holder’s Notes into a
number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder’s Exchange Cap
Allocation, then the difference between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of
shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange
Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then held by each such holder.  This Exchange  Cap 
limitation  shall  in  no  way  limit  the  application  of  the  Conversion  Price Adjustment
provisions of Section 7 of the Notes other than in respect of the number of shares of
Common Stock which may be issued by the Company as a result of a conversion thereunder.  For the
purpose of this Note, “Pro Rata Portion” shall mean the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
aggregate principal amount of the Holder’s Original Series Notes outstanding immediately prior to
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement and the Other
Agreements by (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Original Series Notes held by all
Investors outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Exchange Agreement and the Other Agreements.

(e) Right of Alternate Conversion.

(i) General. At any time after the occurrence of and during the continuance
of an Event of Default the Holder may, at the Holder’s option, convert (each, an “Alternate
Conversion”, and the date of such Alternate Conversion, each, an “Alternate Conversion Date”) all,
or any part of, the Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest and any other amounts (including any
premiums on such Principal and/or Interest) then outstanding hereunder or required to be paid to
the Holder hereunder (whether payable in cash or shares of Common Stock) (the “Conversion Amount”)
(such portion of the Conversion Amount subject to such Alternate Conversion, the “Alternate
Conversion Amount”) into shares of Common Stock at the Alternate Conversion Price.

(ii) Alternate Conversion. On any Alternate Conversion Date, the Holder may
voluntarily convert any Alternate Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(c) (with
“Alternate Conversion Price” replacing “Conversion Price” for all purposes hereunder with respect
to such Alternate Conversion) by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to this
Section 3(e) of this Note that the Holder is electing to use the Alternate Conversion Price
for such conversion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(e), but
subject to Section 3(d), until the Company delivers shares of Common Stock representing the
applicable Alternate Conversion Amount to the Holder, such Alternate Conversion Amount may be
converted by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(c) without regard
to this Section 3(e).

(4) EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND NOTICE THEREOF.

(a) Events of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an
“Event of Default”:

(i) the suspension from trading or failure of the Common Stock to be listed on an
Eligible Market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days or for more than an aggregate of
ten (10) Trading Days in any 365-day period;

(ii) the Company’s (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the
required number of shares of Common Stock within ten (10) Trading Days after the applicable
Conversion Date, Company Redemption Date or redemption pursuant to a Change of Control, as the case
may be, or (B) notice, written or oral, to any holder of the Notes, including by way of public
announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of its intention not to comply with a
proper request for conversion of any Notes into shares of Common Stock that is tendered in
accordance with the provisions of the Notes, other than pursuant to Section 3(d);

(iii) at any time following the tenth (10th) Business Day that the Holder’s
Authorized Share Allocation is less than the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would
be entitled to receive upon a conversion of the full amount of Principal and any accrued and unpaid
Interest of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section
3(d) or otherwise);

(iv) the Company’s failure to pay to the Holder any amount of Principal, Interest,
Late Charges, or other amounts when and as due under this Note (including, without limitation, the
Company’s failure to pay any redemption amounts due hereunder) or any other Transaction Document
(as defined in the Exchange Agreement) or any other agreement, document, certificate or other
instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to which
the Holder is a party, except, in the case of a failure to pay Interest and/or Late Charges when
and as due, in which case only if such failure continues for a period of at least five (5) Business
Days;

(v) any default under or acceleration prior to maturity of any Indebtedness of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 3(a) of the Exchange Agreement)
in the principal amount of at least $10,000,000 in respect of any default (other than in respect of
a default under the TPG Agreement, which shall not result in an Event of Default) or at least
$5,000,000 in respect of any acceleration prior to maturity other than with respect to any Other
Notes but expressly including any acceleration under the TPG Agreement;

(vi) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to or within the meaning of
Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar Federal, foreign or state law for the relief of debtors
(collectively, “Bankruptcy Law”), (A) commences a voluntary case, (B) consents to the entry of an
order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (C) consents to the appointment of a receiver,
trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official (a “Custodian”), (D) makes a general assignment
for the benefit of its creditors or (E) admits in writing that it is generally unable to pay its
debts as they become due;

(vii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any
Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief against the Company or any of its material Subsidiaries in an
involuntary case, (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its material Subsidiaries or
(C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its material Subsidiaries;

(viii) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess
of $10,000,000 are rendered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments are
not, within sixty (60) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal,
or are not discharged within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such stay; provided,
however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a credit
worthy party shall not be included in calculating the $10,000,000 amount set forth above so long as
the Company provides the Holder a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which
written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) to the effect that such judgment
is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company will receive the proceeds of such insurance
or indemnity within thirty (30) days of the issuance of such judgment;

(ix) other than as specifically set forth in another clause of this Section
4(a), the Company breaches (subject to the materiality thresholds, if any, applicable in the
related Transaction Document in the provisions thereof relating to events of default, termination
rights of any Buyer or the right to any damages to be paid by the Company under such Transaction)
any express representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction
Document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition of any material
Transaction Document which is curable, only if such breach continues for a period of at least ten
(10) consecutive Business Days;

(x) any breach or failure in any respect to comply with Section 8 or
Section 13 of this Note; or

(xi) any Event of Default (as defined in the Other Notes) occurs and is continuing
with respect to any Other Notes.

(b) Redemption Right.

(i) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note or any
Other Note, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days deliver written notice thereof via
facsimile or email and overnight courier (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder. At any time
after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming
aware of an Event of Default, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of
this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the
Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the amount of Principal of this
Note the Holder is electing to require the Company to redeem and the date on which the Event of
Default redemption shall occur (the “Event of Default Redemption Date”) which date shall not be
less than five (5) Business Days nor more than ten (10) Business Days after the date of the Event
of Default Redemption Notice. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company
pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Event of
Default Redemption Price”) equal to the product of (A) the amount of Principal plus any accrued and
unpaid Interest to be redeemed and (B) the Event of Default Redemption Premium, and shall be paid
in accordance with the Cash and Stock Payment Mechanic (as defined in Section 8(b)) (it
being understood that references therein to the Company Redemption Date shall be deemed references
to the Event of Default Redemption Date).

(ii) Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9. To the extent redemptions required by this Section
4(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the
Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If a Change of
Control transaction is publicly announced at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing but prior to redemption pursuant to an Event of Default Redemption Notice, the Holder
may elect to receive the Change of Control Redemption Price instead of the Event of Default
Redemption Price. If a Change of Control transaction is publicly announced within thirty (30) days
following a redemption pursuant to an Event of Default Redemption Notice, the Holder shall be
entitled to an additional payment equal to the additional amount the Holder would have been
entitled to receive had the Change of Control been publicly announced pursuant to this Section
4(b). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of
the Note or other payment payable under this Section 4(b), the Holder’s damages would be
uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest
rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for
the Holder. Accordingly, any Event of Default Redemption Premium due under this Section
4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the
Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(5) RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL.

(a) Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a
Fundamental Transaction unless (i) such Fundamental Transaction is pursuant to an assumption,
exchange, or other such agreement or document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders, and (ii) the Successor Entity assumes in
writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a). Upon the occurrence of any
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that
from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note referring to
the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power
of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note with the same
effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there
shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of
the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock (or other
securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the common stock (or their equivalent) of the
Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. The provisions of
this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be
applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

(b) Redemption Right.

(i) No sooner than sixty (60) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the
consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of
Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or email and overnight
courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning
after the earlier of Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice or public announcement of a
Change of Control and ending twenty (20) Trading Days after the date of the consummation of such
Change of Control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by
delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which
Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the amount of Principal the Holder is electing
to require the Company to redeem and the date on which the Change of Control redemption shall occur
(the “Change of Control Redemption Date”), which date shall not be less than five (5) Business Days
nor more than ten (10) Business Days after the date of the Change of Control Redemption Notice.
The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be
redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”) equal to the amount
of the Company Redemption Price (as defined in Section 8(b)), and shall be paid in
accordance with the Cash and Stock Payment Mechanic (as defined in Section 8(b)) (it being
understood that references therein to the Company Redemption Date shall be deemed references to the
Change of Control Redemption Date).

(ii) Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with
the provisions of Section 9 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in
connection with a Change of Control as such redemption obligation shall constitute a debt
obligation of the Company. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5(b) are
deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the
Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Change of Control
Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the amount of Principal to
be redeemed under this Section 5(b) (together with any interest thereon) may be converted,
in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 (including,
without limitation, the right to receive the amounts set forth in Section 3(f)). The
Change of Control Redemption Price will be payable regardless of whether the amount of Principal to
be redeemed is redeemed for cash or converted to shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section
3(f). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of
the Note under this Section 5(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to
estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of
the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any
Change of Control redemption premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties
to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment
opportunity and not as a penalty.

(6) RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.

(a) Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any
Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property
pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the
Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the
aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking into
account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) immediately before the
date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no
such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined
for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. The provisions of this Section shall apply
similarly and equally to successive Purchase Rights. The provisions of Section 7(a) shall
not apply with respect to any Purchase Rights, if the Holder elects to exercise such Purchase
Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such
dividend or distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the
Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution to such extent (or the
beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result of such dividend or
distribution to such extent) and such dividend or distribution to such extent shall be held in
abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not
result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

(b) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any
other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which
holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect
to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make
appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a
conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option, (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock
receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have
been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held
by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any
limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by
the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event
in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been
issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common
Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate.
Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to
the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to
successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the
conversion or redemption of this Note.

(7) RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. Subject
to the provisions of Section 6(a), if and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the
Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 7(a) is deemed to have issued
or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned
or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have
been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Security) for a consideration
per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately
after such Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount
equal to the product of (x) the Applicable Price and (y) the quotient determined by dividing
(A) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding
immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the
Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (B) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Applicable
Price by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such
Dilutive Issuance. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this
Section 7(a), the following shall be applicable (except in connection with the issuance of
Excluded Securities):

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any
Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the
exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible
Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share
of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company
at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this
Section 7(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the
lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any
one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon
conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such
Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of
such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or
upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such
Convertible Securities.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner
issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of
Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the
Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have
been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible
Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 7(a)(ii), the
“lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or
exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any)
received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the
issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of
such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the
actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such
Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon
exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made
pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7(a), no further adjustment of the Conversion
Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price
provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue,
conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any
Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes
at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the
Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible
Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion
rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this
Section 7(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding
as of the Subscription Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding
sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such
change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the
Conversion Price then in effect.

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in
connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one
integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the
parties thereto, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a value determined by use
of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (the “Option Value”) and (y) the other securities issued
or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for the difference of
(I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company, less (II) the Option Value. If any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold
for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the
Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the
Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing
Sale Price of such securities on the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in
which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to
be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair
value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company
and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after
the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such
consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th)
day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the
Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon
all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the
Company.

(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of
the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of
such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of
subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common
Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock
dividend, stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the
Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes
of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the
provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including,
without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights
with equity features but excluding the issuance of Excluded Securities), then the Company’s Board
of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the
rights of the Holder under this Note; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion
Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7.

(d) Voluntary Decrease. The Company may at any time during the term of this
Note reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed
appropriate by the Board of Directors.

(8) MANDATORY REDEMPTION AND OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

(a) Holder’s Right of Mandatory Redemption.

(i) General. On the Holder Mandatory Redemption Date, the Holder shall have
the right, in its sole discretion, to require that the Company redeem all or any portion of this
Note (a “Holder Mandatory Redemption”) by delivering written notice thereof to the Company (a
“Holder Mandatory Redemption Notice”) at any time on or prior to such Holder Mandatory Redemption
Date. The Holder Mandatory Redemption Notice shall indicate the amount of Principal the Holder is
electing to have redeemed (the “Holder Mandatory Redemption Amount”) on the Holder Mandatory
Redemption Date. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8
shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the amount of Principal and any
accrued and unpaid Interest thereon being redeemed (the “Holder Mandatory Redemption Price”).
Redemptions required by this Section 8 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 8 and Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 8, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Holder receives the Holder
Mandatory Redemption Price, the Holder Mandatory Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in
part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3, and any such conversion shall
reduce the Holder Mandatory Redemption Amount. The Company shall deliver written notice (the
“Company Notice”) to the Holder no earlier than twenty (20) Business Days and no later than five
(5) Business Days prior to the Holder Mandatory Redemption Date stating the Holder’s right of
redemption under this Section 8 for the Holder Mandatory Redemption Date.

(ii) Mechanics of Holder Mandatory Redemption. If the Holder elects a
Holder Mandatory Redemption in accordance with Section 8(a)(i), then the Holder Mandatory
Redemption Amount which is to be paid to the Holder on the applicable Holder Mandatory Redemption
Date shall be redeemed by the Company, and the Company shall pay to the Holder on the later of (A)
the applicable Holder Mandatory Redemption Date and (B) the second (2nd) Business Day
following receipt by the Company of the Holder Mandatory Redemption Notice (the “Holder Mandatory
Redemption Payment Date”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Holder Mandatory
Redemption Price. If the Company fails to redeem the Holder Mandatory Redemption Amount on the
Holder Mandatory Redemption Payment Date by payment of the Holder Mandatory Redemption Price on
such date, then at the option of the Holder designated in writing to the Company (any such
designation shall be deemed a “Conversion Notice” pursuant to Section 3(c) for purposes of
this Note), the Holder may require the Company to convert all or any part of the Holder Mandatory
Redemption Amount at 75% of the Optional Interest Price. Conversions made pursuant to this
Section 8(a) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(c).

(b) Company’s Right of Optional Redemption; Mandatory Redemption from Net
Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales.

(i) Optional Redemption.

(A) At any time and from time to time on or after the Issuance Date and prior to
April 30, 2015, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, subject to any required
consent of the Company’s senior secured lenders, to redeem all or any portion of this Note (a
“Company Redemption”) in integral multiples of $100,000 at par plus accrued and unpaid interest.

(B) At any time and from time to time on or after April 30, 2015, the Company shall
have the right, in its sole discretion, subject to any required consent of the Company’s senior
secured lenders, to effect a Company Redemption in integral multiples of $100,000. The portion of
this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8(b)(i)(B) shall be redeemed by
the Company at a price (the “Company Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (A) 130% of the sum
of (x) the Principal being redeemed, and (y) accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, with respect to
such Principal (such unpaid Interest amount together with the related Principal being redeemed, the
“Principal Amount”), and (B) the product obtained by multiplying (x) the quotient obtained by
dividing the Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, with respect to such Principal,
being redeemed by the Conversion Price, and (y) the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average
Prices of the Common Stock on each of the five last Trading Days ending on the Trading Day
immediately prior to the applicable Company Redemption Notice Date (as defined below) (the
“Prepayment Formula Amount”); provided, that, 100% of the face value of the
Principal Amount shall be paid for in cash on a dollar-for-dollar basis (the “Cash Payment”), and
any amounts due in excess of such Principal Amount shall be paid in such number of freely tradable
Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the excess of (i) the Prepayment
Formula Amount determined as of the Company Redemption Date (as defined below) over (ii) the Cash
Payment, and (y) 85% of the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock
on (i) each of the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately
prior to the date of the Company Redemption Date and (ii) each of the fifteen (15) consecutive
Trading Days commencing on the date of the Company Redemption Date (the final Trading Day of such
fifteen (15) Trading Day period, the “Company Redemption Stock Pricing Date”) (the foregoing
proviso herein referred to as the “Cash and Stock Payment Mechanic”); and provided
further that in the event of an Equity Conditions Failure or the failure to receive
Stockholder Approval during the period beginning on the Company Redemption Notice Date and ending
on and including the Company Redemption Date, the foregoing Cash and Stock Payment Mechanic shall
not apply to redemptions made pursuant to this Section 8(b)(i)(B), which such redemptions
shall be made in cash only, in an amount equal to the Prepayment Formula Amount.

(ii) Mandatory Redemption from Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales.

(A) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of this Note redeemed by the Company
pursuant to this Section 8(b) from the Net Proceeds (as defined in the TPG Agreement) of
any Specified Asset Sales shall be redeemed for cash to be applied to the Principal and accrued and
unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges being redeemed at par if such redemption occurs
prior to April 30, 2015, or at a price in accordance with Section 8(b)(i)(B) hereof if such
redemption occurs on or after April 30, 2015.

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall apply all Net
Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales towards the retirement of certain of the Company’s outstanding
Indebtedness in the following manner:

(1) First, any Net Proceeds of Revolver Priority Collateral (as defined in
the TPG Agreement) sold in such Specified Asset Sales shall be applied to pay the principal
of the Revolving Loans (as defined in the TPG Agreement) until paid in full;

(2) Second, subject to the right of the Term Loan Lenders (as defined in the
TPG Agreement to waive such prepayment, the next $13,000,000 of Net Proceeds of Specified
Asset Sales shall be applied to prepay the principal of the Term Loans (as defined in the
TPG Agreement) in the inverse order of maturity;

(3) Third, the next $4,489,671 of Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales shall
be applied first to redeem the Senior C Convertible Notes at a purchase price not to
exceed par, if such redemption occurs prior to April 30, 2015, or at a purchase price
determined in accordance with Section 8(b)(i)(B) hereof if such redemption occurs on
or after April 30, 2015, and second, to the extent any Net Proceeds of Specified
Asset Sales remain from such $4,489,671 after the discharge in full of the outstanding
principal amount of the Series C Convertible Notes, to redeem the Series B Convertible Notes
at a purchase price not to exceed par if such redemption occurs prior to December 31, 2014,
or at a purchase price determined in accordance with Section 8(b)(i)(B) of the
Series B Convertible Notes if such redemption occurs on or after December 31, 2014; and

(4) Fourth, the remaining Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales shall be
applied (x) 35% (or 0% once (i) $13,469,013 of the Notes have been redeemed or (ii) the
Series B Convertible Notes and Series C Convertible Notes have been redeemed) first
to redeem the Senior C Convertible Notes at a purchase price not to exceed par if such
redemption occurs prior to April 30, 2015, or at a price in accordance with Section
8(b)(i)(B) hereof if such redemption occurs on or after April 30, 2015, and
second to the extent any Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales remain from such 35%
after the discharge in full of the outstanding principal amount of the Series C Convertible
Notes, to redeem the Series B Convertible Notes at a purchase price not to exceed par if
such redemption occurs prior to December 31, 2014, or at a purchase price determined in
accordance with Section 8(b)(i)(B) of the Series B Convertible Notes if such
redemption occurs on or after December 31, 2014 and (y) subject to the right of the Term
Loan Lenders to waive such prepayment, 65% (or 100% once (i) $13,469,013 of the Notes have
been redeemed or (ii) the Series B Convertible Notes and Series C Convertible Notes have
been redeemed) to prepay the principal of the Term Loans in the inverse order of maturity;
provided, that, no payments shall be made pursuant to clauses (2) through
(4) above in this section until the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds of Specified Asset
Sales equals $17,500,000 or greater; provided further, that until an
aggregate amount of Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales of at least $17,500,000 is
received, the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales not applied pursuant
to clause (1) above in this section shall be held in a deposit account subject to the sole
dominion and control of the Agent (as defined in the TPG Agreement (the “Reserve Account”);
provided, that if any amounts remain in the Reserve Account on or after December 31,
2014, then all such amounts on deposit therein at any time shall be applied to prepay the
principal of the Term Loans in the inverse order of maturity.

(iii) Mechanics. The Company may exercise its redemption right under
Section 8(b)(i), or shall effect a redemption pursuant to Section 8(b)(ii)(B)(3) or
Section 8(b)(ii)(B)(4), as applicable, by delivering a written notice thereof by facsimile
or email and overnight courier to the Holder (the “Company Redemption Notice” and the date such
notice is delivered to the Holder is referred to as the “Company Redemption Notice Date”). A
Company Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. Each Company Redemption Notice shall state the
aggregate Principal of this Note subject to such Company Redemption pursuant to this Section
8(b) on the Company Redemption Date plus accrued and unpaid Late Charges (the “Company
Redemption Amount”). Upon receipt of a Company Redemption Notice, if the Holder elects to convert
any or all of the Principal to be so redeemed hereby, the Holder shall deliver to the Company
written notice of such election, and the Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon to
be converted shall be so converted in accordance with Section 3(c) no later than the date
on which the Company Redemption shall occur (the “Company Redemption Date”) which date (A) shall be
set forth in the Company Redemption Notice and (B) shall not be less than five (5) Business Days
nor more than ten (10) Business Days after the Company Redemption Notice Date.

(iv) Pro Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a
Company Redemption pursuant to Section 8(b), then it must simultaneously take the same
action with respect to the Other Notes. If the Company elects to cause a Company Redemption
pursuant to this Section 8(b) (or similar provisions under the Other Notes) with respect to
less than all of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, then the Company shall require
redemption of a Principal amount from the Holder and each holder of the Other Notes equal to the
product of (A) the aggregate principal amount of Notes which the Company has elected to cause to be
redeemed pursuant to Section 8(b), multiplied by (B) the fraction, the numerator of which
is the sum of the initial principal amount of Notes purchased by such holder and the denominator of
which is the initial principal amounts of Notes purchased by all holders holding outstanding Notes
(such fraction with respect to each holder is referred to as its “Redemption Allocation
Percentage”, and such amount with respect to each holder is referred to as its “Pro Rata Redemption
Amount”); provided that in the event that the initial holder of any Notes has sold
or otherwise transferred any of such holder’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata
portion of such holder’s Redemption Allocation Percentage and Pro Rata Redemption Amount.

(c) True Up.

(i) On the True Up Date (as defined below), subject to Section 3(d), the
Company shall deliver to the Holder, provided the formula set forth below yields a number greater
than zero, an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “True Up Common Shares”) equal to
(A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the excess of (i) the Prepayment Formula Amount
determined as of the Company Redemption Date over (ii) the Cash Payment, by (y) 85% of the
arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock on each of the twenty (20)
consecutive Trading Days beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately following the
Company Redemption Stock Pricing Date, less (B) the number of Common Shares previously
delivered to the Holder on the Company Redemption Stock Pricing Date pursuant to Section
8(b) hereof. For purposes of this Note, the “True Up Date” shall mean the twenty-first (21st)
Trading Day immediately following the Company Redemption Date, provided that such
Company Redemption Date occurs on or after April 30, 2015. The “True Up Period” shall mean the
period consisting of each of the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days beginning on, and including,
the Trading Day immediately following the Company Redemption Date, provided that
such Company Redemption Date occurs on or after April 30, 2015.

(d) Redemptions Generally. Any redemptions made pursuant to this
Section 8 shall be made in accordance with Section 9. No later than one (1)
Trading Day following the Holder Mandatory Redemption Date or any Company Redemption Date, the
Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K, describing the terms of such Holder Mandatory
Redemption or Company Redemption, as the case may be. To the extent redemptions required by this
Section 8 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments
of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. The
parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under
this Section 8, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because
of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability
of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption
premium due under this Section 8 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a
reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(9) REDEMPTION MECHANICS.

(a) Redemption by the Holder. The Company shall deliver the applicable
Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s
receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice. If the Holder has submitted a Change
of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(b), the Company shall deliver the
applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder (i) concurrently with the consummation
of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of
Control and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice
otherwise. The Company shall deliver the applicable Holder Mandatory Redemption Price on the
applicable Holder Mandatory Redemption Payment Date. Any Cash Payment payable in respect of the
applicable Company Redemption Price shall be delivered by the Company on the applicable Company
Redemption Date, and any issuance of shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to the Holder, in
the same manner as set forth in Section 3(c)(ii) hereof, within three (3) Trading Days of
the Company Redemption Stock Pricing Date. In the event of a redemption or conversion of less than
all of the Principal of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to
the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 17(d)) representing the outstanding
Principal which has not been redeemed. If the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price
to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays
such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption or
conversion, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note
representing the amount of Principal that was submitted for or subject to redemption and for which
the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid or
shares of Common Stock have not been issued therefore, or any combination thereof. Upon the
Company’s receipt of such cancellation notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null
and void with respect to such amount of Principal that was not redeemed or converted, and (y) the
Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section
17(d)) to the Holder representing such amount of Principal to be redeemed. The Holder’s
delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice
shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued
prior to the date of such notice with respect to the amount of Principal subject to such notice.

(b) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from
any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or
occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 4(b), or
Section 5 (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall immediately, but no later
than two (2) Business Days of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by facsimile a copy of
such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices,
during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is three (3)
Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Redemption Notice and ending on and
including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s
Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts
designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven
(7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the
Notes (including the Holder) based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption
pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during
such seven Business Day period.

(10) NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the
Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all
of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the
Holder of this Note. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the six (6) month
anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Holder is not permitted to convert this Note in full for any
reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 3(d)(i) hereof), the
Company shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation,
obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to effect such conversion into shares of Common
Stock.

(11) RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

(a) Reservation. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized
and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock for each of the Notes equal to or
exceeding the maximum number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion of the
Notes. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to
reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose
of effecting the conversion of the Notes, the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time
to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding;
provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved be
less than the number of shares required to be reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to
any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The initial number of shares of
Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Notes and each increase in the number of shares so
reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes based on the principal amount
of the Notes held by each holder at the Closing (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) or increase
in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the
event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, each transferee
shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of
Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated
to the remaining holders of Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount of the Notes then held by
such holders.

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Notes
remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved
shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the
Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an
“Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to
increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the
Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence
of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of
such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the
approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with
such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its
best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common
Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such
proposal.

(12) VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of
this Note, except as required by law, including, but not limited to, the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, and as expressly provided in this Note.

(13) COVENANTS.

(a) Rank. All payments due under this Note (a) shall rank pari passu with
all Other Notes and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement, shall be
unsubordinated obligations of the Company and (b) shall be senior to all other Indebtedness of the
Company permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of “Permitted
Indebtedness.” The Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Note and all Indebtedness and
other obligations related to this Notes are subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement,
which Subordination Agreement is binding, enforceable and in full force and effect against the
Holder.

(b) Incurrence of Indebtedness.

(i) So long as this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not, and the Company
shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur or guarantee or assume
any Indebtedness other than (x) Permitted Indebtedness and (y) any additional Indebtedness (other
than Indebtedness described in clause (iv) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”) that (1)
either (A) does not contain any issuances of any equity securities of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (other than the Warrants) in the event that, as of the applicable time of
determination, the Company shall have not yet obtained the Stockholder Approval (as defined in the
Exchange Agreement), or (B) does not contain any material equity component in the event that, as of
the applicable time of determination, the Company shall have, on or prior to such time, obtained
the Stockholder Approval, and (2) the ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness of the Company and
its Subsidiaries to TTM EBITDA of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the twelve month period most
recently ended (as measured as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter) does not
exceed 3.50 to 1.00 (both immediately prior to the incurrence, guarantee or assumption of such
additional Indebtedness and immediately after giving effect thereto). For the avoidance of doubt,
this Note and the Other Notes shall not be included in the incurred indebtedness calculation of
clause Section 13(b)(i)(y) above.

(ii) For purposes of this Section 13(b), “Consolidated Funded Indebtedness”
and “TTM EBITDA” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 29 hereof.

(iii) The Company shall provide a written report to the Holders of the results of
the ratio analysis set forth in Section 13(b)(i) no later than the date the Company first
announces its financial results for a fiscal quarter or fiscal year. If the Company is not in
compliance with such ratio as of the applicable measurement date, the Company shall publicly
disclose such results concurrently with its disclosure to the Holders.

(c) Restriction on Redemption and Cash Dividends. Until all of the Notes
have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms, the Company
shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, repurchase or declare or pay any cash dividend or
distribution on its capital stock without the prior express written consent of the Required
Holders; provided, however, the provisions of this Section 13(c) shall not
apply if the Closing Sale Price or Closing Bid Price, as applicable, of the Common Stock is greater
than 125% of the Conversion Price in effect for the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the date
immediately prior to the date the Company’s board of directors approves a record date for a cash
dividend, the public announcement of which shall be made no later than the next Business Day.

(14) PARTICIPATION. The Holder, as the holder of this Note, shall be
entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to
the same extent as if the Holder had converted this Note into Common Stock (without regard to any
limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the
record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be
made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock (provided,
however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such dividend or distribution
would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled
to participate in such dividend or distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any
such shares of Common Stock as a result of such dividend or distribution to such extent) and such
dividend or distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder
until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum
Percentage).

(15) VOTE TO ISSUE, OR CHANGE THE TERMS OF, NOTES. The affirmative vote at
a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Holders
shall be required for any change or amendment to this Note or the Other Notes. No consideration
shall be offered or paid to any holder of Notes to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of
the Notes unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the holders of Notes.

(16) TRANSFER. This Note and any shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of this Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder without the
consent of the Company, subject only to the provisions of Section 2(i) of the Exchange
Agreement.

(17) REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.

(a) Transfer. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender
this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of
the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 17(d)), registered as the Holder may
request, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less than
the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section
17(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder
and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the
provisions of Section 3(c)(iii) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this
Note, the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than the Principal stated on
the face of this Note.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note,
and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to
the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of
this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with
Section 17(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.

(c) Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is
exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a
new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 17(d) and in principal amounts of at least
$100,000) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new
Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at
the time of such surrender.

(d) Issuance of New Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new
Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note,
(ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining
outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 17(a) or
Section 17(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the principal
represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the
Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes),
(iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as
the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, and
(v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest and Late Charges, if any, on the Principal and
Interest of this Note, from the Issuance Date.

(18) REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other
remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein
shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the
Company to comply with the terms of this Note. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with
respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to
be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any
other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a
breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the
remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the
event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(19) PAYMENT OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS. If (a) this Note
is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced
through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this
Note or to enforce the provisions of this Note or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization,
receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving
a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the reasonable and documented costs incurred by
the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy,
reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees
and disbursements.

(20) CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly
drafted by the Company and all the Purchasers and shall not be construed against any person as the
drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part
of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note.

(21) FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of
the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

(22) DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination
of the Closing Bid Price, the Closing Sale Price or the Weighted Average Price or the arithmetic
calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Conversion Price or any Redemption Price, the Company shall
submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) Business
Day of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Conversion Notice or Redemption Notice or other event
giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are
unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business Day of such disputed
determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall,
within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the Closing Bid
Price, the Closing Sale Price or the Weighted Average Price to an independent, reputable investment
bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation
of the Conversion Rate, Conversion Price or any Redemption Price to the Company’s independent,
outside accountant. The Company, at the Company’s expense, shall cause the investment bank or the
accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the
Company and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it
receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s
determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent
demonstrable error.

(23) NOTICES; PAYMENTS.

(a) Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note,
unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section
8(k) of the Exchange Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written
notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Note, including in reasonable detail a description of
such action and the reason therefor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
will give written notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price,
setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at
least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record
(A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any
grant, issuances, or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock,
warrants, securities or other property to holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining
rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in
each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with
such notice being provided to the Holder.

(b) Payments. Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to
any Person pursuant to this Note, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States
of America by a check drawn on the account of the Company and sent via overnight courier service to
such Person at such address as previously provided to the Company in writing (which address, in the
case of the Holder, shall initially be as set forth on the Schedule of Investors attached to the
Exchange Agreement); provided that the Holder may elect to receive a payment of
cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds by providing the Company with prior written
notice setting out such request and the Holder’s wire transfer instructions. Whenever any amount
expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the
same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and, in the case of
any Interest Date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the
due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of Interest
due on such date. Any amount of Principal or other amounts due under this Note which is not paid
when due shall result in a late charge being incurred and payable by the Company in an amount equal
to interest on such amount at the rate that would have applied during the incurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default (“Late Charge”).

(24) CANCELLATION. After all Principal, accrued Interest and other amounts
at any time owed on this Note have been paid in full, this Note shall automatically be deemed
canceled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued.

(25) RELEASE OF CLAIMS AND PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Effective on the Closing
Date (as defined in the Exchange Agreement), the Company and its agents, representatives,
predecessors and successors in interest assigns hereby (i) conclusively, absolutely,
unconditionally, irrevocably and forever remise, acquit, waive, releases and discharge the Holder
and each of the Holder’s agents, advisors, representatives, predecessors and successors in interest
from any and all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities and causes of action of any kind or
character, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, asserted or unasserted, direct or
indirect, at law or in equity, that the Company may now have or that might subsequently accrue to
him or it arising out of or relating to the Original Series Notes (as defined in the Exchange
Agreement) (the “Released Claims”), and (ii) covenants and agrees never to institute or cause to be
instituted any suit, investigation or other form of action or proceeding of any kind or nature
whatsoever against any of the Holder or the Holder’s agents, advisors, representatives,
predecessors and successors in interest based upon the Original Series Notes (as defined in the
Exchange Agreement) and the Released Claims.

(26) WAIVER OF NOTICE. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby
waives demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery,
acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Exchange Agreement.

(27) GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; JURY. This Note shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity,
interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of
New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether
of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws
of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each of the Company and the Holder hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The
City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in
connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it
is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding
is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law. Each of the Company and the Holder hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address as provided in Section 23
hereof and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from
bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect
on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for
such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder. THE
COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL
FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR
ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(28) SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Note is prohibited by law or
otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to
apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or
unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of
this Note so long as this Note as so modified continues to express, without material change, the
original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature,
invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the
respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of
the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good
faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid
provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or
unenforceable provision(s).

thereunder. Other than the Required Approvals (as defined in Section 3.1(c)), the
execution and delivery by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party
and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder have been
duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further consent or
action is required by the Company, or its board of directors or stockholders. Each Transaction
Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company, and, when
delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of
the Company, enforceable against the Company, in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies and except as rights to
indemnification and to contribution may be limited by federal or state securities law.

(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Warrants and
the Warrant Shares and the reservation for issuance of the Warrant Shares) do not and will not
(i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become
a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the
Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility,
debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other
understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset
of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any Governmental
Authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including, without limitation, foreign,
federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the Trading
Market), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected;
except in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, as would not, reasonably be expected to, (A)
(i) adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document or
(ii) have or result in a material adverse effect on the operations, properties, results of
operations, assets, business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (any of (i) or (ii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) or (B) adversely
impair the Company’s authority or ability to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under
any Transaction Document, except for the requirement to obtain Stockholder Approval (as defined
below) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

(c) Filings, Consents and Approvals. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization, permit or order of, give any
notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority or other Person in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction
Documents, other than the filing by the Company of a Notice of Sale of Securities on Form D with
the Commission under Regulation D and state and applicable Blue Sky filings, the filing of any
requisite notices and/or applications(s) to the Trading Market for the issuance and sale of the
Warrants and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and the listing of
the Warrant Shares for trading thereon and the requirement to obtain Stockholder Approval pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market (collectively, the “Required Approvals”).
Except with respect to the receipt of Stockholder Approval, all Required Approvals have been
obtained or effected on or prior to the Closing Date, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
are aware of any facts or circumstances which might prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from
obtaining or effecting any of the registration, application or filings contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Except for the requirement to obtain Stockholder Approval pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company is not in violation of the requirements
of the Trading Market and has no Knowledge of any facts or circumstances which would reasonably
lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

(d) Issuance of the Securities. The issuance of the Warrants is duly
authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights,
taxes, Liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. As of the Closing, the Company shall
have reserved from its duly authorized capital stock not less than 110% of the maximum number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants based on the then applicable exercise price
under the Warrant (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set
forth therein). Upon exercise in accordance with the Warrants, the Warrant Shares when issued,
will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar
rights, taxes, Liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being
entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock (as set forth in the applicable
charter documents). Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the
Subscribers in this Agreement, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities is exempt
from registration under the Securities Act.

(e) Capitalization. The number of shares and type of all authorized,
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company has been set forth in the SEC Reports and has
changed since the date set forth in such SEC Reports only to reflect stock option exercises and
grants and warrant exercises that have not, individually or in the aggregate, had a material
effect on the issued and outstanding capital stock, options and other securities and have not been
required to be reported by the Company under the Exchange Act. All of such outstanding shares are
duly authorized and have been, or upon issuance will be, validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable. No securities of the Company are entitled to preemptive or similar rights, and no
Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar
right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. There are no
securities or instruments containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by
the issuance of the Securities. The Company does not have any stock appreciation rights or
“phantom stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement.

(f) Certain Fees. No brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will
be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent,
investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. The Subscribers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to
any claims (other than such fees or commissions owed by a Subscriber pursuant to written
agreements executed by such Subscriber which fees or commissions shall be the sole responsibility
of such Subscriber) made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this
Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Subscribers, their employees, officers, directors,
agents, and partners, and their respective Affiliates, from and against all claims, losses,
damages, costs (including the costs of preparation and attorney’s fees) and expenses suffered in
respect of any such claimed or existing fees, as such fees and expenses are incurred.

(g) Private Placement; No Integrated Offering; No General Solicitation.
Assuming the accuracy of each Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section
3.2(c)-(g), no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the
Securities by the Company to the Subscribers under the Transaction Documents. Assuming the
accuracy of the Subscribers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, the Subsidiaries, any of their respective affiliates, nor any Person acting
on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any Company security or
solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of
the issuance of any of the Securities under the Securities Act, whether through integration with
prior offerings or otherwise. Neither the Company, the Subsidiaries nor their affiliates, nor any
Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general
advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the
Securities.

(h) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of
Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control
share acquisition, interested stockholder, business combination, poison pill (including any
distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the
Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter
documents or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation that is or could become applicable to
the Subscribers as a result of the Subscribers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or
exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result
of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Subscribers’ ownership of the Securities. The
Company and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of
beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company or any
Subsidiary.

(i) Loan Documents. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that each
of the Transaction Documents constitute a “Loan Document” under the Financing Agreement.
Accordingly, it shall be an Event of Default under the Financing Agreement if (i) any
representation or warranty made by the Company under or in connection with any Transaction
Document shall have been untrue, false or misleading in any material respect when made, or (ii)
the Company shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in any
Transaction Document.

(j) Transfer Taxes. On the Closing Date, all stock transfer or other taxes
(other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be paid in connection with the sale and
transfer of the Securities to be sold to each Subscriber hereunder will be, or will have been,
fully paid or provided for by the Company, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have
been complied with.

(k) Shell Company Status. The Company is not, and has never been, an issuer
identified in, or subject to, Rule 144(i).

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Subscribers. Each Subscriber
hereby, as to itself only and for no other Subscriber, represents and warrants to the Company as
follows:

(a) Organization; Authority. Such Subscriber is an entity duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with
the requisite corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority to enter
into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to
carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by
such Subscriber of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate or, if such Subscriber is not a corporation, such partnership, limited
liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such Subscriber. Each of the
Transaction Documents to which such Subscriber is a party has been duly executed by such
Subscriber and, when delivered by such Subscriber in accordance with terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and legally binding obligation of such Subscriber, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws
relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by such Subscriber and the consummation by such Subscriber of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any
provision of such Subscriber’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event
which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which such Subscriber is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any Governmental Authority
to which such Subscriber is subject (including, without limitation, foreign, federal and state
securities laws and regulations); except in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, as would not,
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the
ability of the Subscriber to perform its obligations thereunder.

(c) Investment Intent. Such Subscriber is acquiring the Securities as
principal for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to distributing or
reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of applicable securities laws, without
prejudice, however, to such Subscriber’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or
any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Subscriber to hold
the Securities for any period of time. Such Subscriber understands that the Securities have not
been registered under the Securities Act, and therefore the Securities may not be sold, assigned
or transferred unless pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
with respect thereto or (ii) an available exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.

(d) Subscriber Status. At the time such Subscriber was offered the
Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises the
Warrants (other than pursuant to a cashless exercise), it will be, an “accredited investor” as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

(e) Experience of such Subscriber. Such Subscriber, either alone or
together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business
and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective
investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such
Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the
present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(f) General Solicitation. Such Subscriber is not purchasing the Securities
as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities
published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or
presented at any seminar or, to such Subscriber’s knowledge, any other general solicitation or
general advertisement.

(g) Access to Data. Such Subscriber has received and reviewed information
about the Company and has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and
financial affairs with its management and to review the Company’s facilities. Such Subscriber
acknowledges that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed
necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and
conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the
Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its respective financial condition,
results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to
evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the
Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make
an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. The foregoing, however, does not
limit or modify the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement or any
other provision in this Agreement or the right of the Subscribers to rely thereon. Such
Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make
an informed decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

(h) Transfer or Resale. Such Subscriber understands that except as provided
in the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale,
sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Subscriber
shall have delivered to the Company (if requested by the Company) an opinion of counsel to such
Subscriber, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold,
assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such
registration, or (C) such Subscriber provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such
Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated
under the Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”); (ii) any sale
of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of
Rule 144; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register
the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms
and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

(i) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Subscriber understands that the Securities
being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements
of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon
the truth and accuracy of, and such Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgements and understandings of such Subscriber set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Subscriber to acquire
the Securities.

(j) No Governmental Review. Such Subscriber understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or
made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the
investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the
offering of the Securities.

(k) Legends. Such Subscriber understands that the certificates or other
instruments representing the Warrants and, until such time as the resale of the Warrant Shares
have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights
Agreement, the stock certificates representing the Warrant Shares, except as set forth below,
shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may
be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR
THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE
OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SELECTED BY THE HOLDER, IN A
GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II)
UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN
ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such
legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by
electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), if,
unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such Securities are registered for resale
under the Securities Act, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such
holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the
effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration
under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, or (iii) the Securities can be sold,
assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of
its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Subscriber makes or has made any representations or
warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Transaction
Document other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2.

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Register; Pledge.

(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other
office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a
register for each series of the Warrants in which the Company shall record the name and address of
the Person in whose name the Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each
transferee) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such
Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours
for inspection of any Subscriber or its legal representatives.

(b) The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Subscriber may from time to time
pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities in connection with a bona
fide margin agreement secured by the Securities and, if required under the terms of such
agreement, such Subscriber may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured
parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal
opinion of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.
Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Subscriber’s expense, the
Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of
Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.

4.2 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its reasonable best
efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to
buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would
require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Subscribers
or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and
regulations of any Trading Market.

4.3 Reservation and Listing of Securities. So long as any Subscriber owns
any Warrants, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times after the date hereof
have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than 110% of the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding based on the then
applicable exercise price under the Warrant (without taking into account any limitations on the
exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants) (the “Required Reserved Amount”). If at any
time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to
meet the Required Reserved Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to
authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a
special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations
under Section 3.1(d), in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain
shareholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management
shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure
that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserved Amount. The
Company shall, as applicable (i) prepare and timely file with each Trading Market an additional
shares listing application covering all of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under the
Transaction Documents, (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause such shares of Common Stock to be
approved for listing on each Trading Market as soon as practicable thereafter, (iii) provide to the
Subscribers evidence of such listing, and (iv) use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing
of such Common Stock on each such Trading Market or another Eligible Market.

4.4 Form D and Blue Sky. The Company shall file a Form D with respect to
the Securities as required under Regulation D. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date,
take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an
exemption for, or to, qualify the Securities for sale to the Subscribers at the Closing pursuant to
this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States
(or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action
so taken to the Subscribers on or prior to the Closing Date. Without limiting any other obligation
of the Company under this Agreement, the Company shall timely make all filings and reports relating
to the offer and sale of the Securities required under all applicable securities laws (including,
without limitation, all applicable federal securities laws and all applicable “Blue Sky” laws), and
the Company shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules,
regulations and the like relating to the offering and sale of the Securities to the Subscribers.

4.5 Indemnification. In consideration of each Subscriber’s execution and
delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to
all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend,
protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Subscriber and each other holder of the Securities and
all of their shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect
investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without
limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
(collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits,
claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection
therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which
indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements
(the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or
relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated
hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained
in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a
third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and
arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or
thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (iii) the status of such
Subscriber or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the
Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable
for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of
each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law. Except as otherwise
set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under
this Section 4.5 shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration
Rights Agreement.

4.6 Stockholders Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the
Company or any other Person that any Subscriber is an “Acquiring Person” or any similar term under
any stockholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the
Company, or that any Subscriber could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or
arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other
agreement between the Company and the Subscribers.

4.7 Public Information. At any time during the period commencing on the six
(6) month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending at such time that all of the Securities can be
sold without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without
restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if a registration statement is not available for
the resale of all of the Securities and the Company shall (i) fail for any reason to satisfy the
requirements of Rule 144(c)(1) including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current
public information requirements contained in Rule 144(c) or (ii) if the Company has ever been an
issuer in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to
satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (each, a “Public Information Failure”) then, as
partial relief for the damages to any holder of Securities by reason of any such delay in or
reduction of its ability to sell the Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other
remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each such holder an amount in
cash equal to one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) of the aggregate Market Value of such holder’s
Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for
periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date such Public
Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such Public Information Failure no longer
prevents a holder of Securities from selling such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without any
restrictions or limitations. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this
Section 4.7 are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public
Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar month
during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (II) the third Business Day
after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the
event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public
Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for
partial months) until paid in full.

4.8 [Intentionally Omitted]

4.9 Stockholder Approval. The Company shall provide each stockholder
entitled to vote at a special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder
Meeting”), which shall be called as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, but in no event
later than seventy-five (75) days after such date, or such later date as agreed by the Company and
the Required Holders (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”), a proxy statement, in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Subscribers after review by Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, at the expense of the
Company, soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for
approval of resolutions (the “Resolutions”) providing for the issuance of all of the Warrant Shares
and the other shares of Common Stock issuable to the holders of the Company’s outstanding
convertible notes (without regard to any limitation or restriction set forth therein) as described
in the Transaction Documents in accordance with applicable law, the provisions of the Company’s
certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market
without giving effect to the Exchange Cap provisions set forth in the Warrants (such affirmative
approvals being referred to herein, collectively, as the “Stockholder Approval” and the date such
approval is obtained, the “Stockholder Approval Date”), and the Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such Resolutions and to cause the Board of
Directors of the Company to recommend to the stockholders that they approve the Resolutions. The
Company shall be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval by
the Stockholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts, the
Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the Stockholder Meeting, the Company shall cause an
additional Stockholder Meeting to be held three times (including its Annual Meeting) during each 12
month period thereafter, provided that each such Stockholders Meeting shall be at least ninety (90)
days after the immediately preceding Stockholders Meeting, until the Stockholder Approval is
obtained.

4.10 [Intentionally Omitted].

4.11 Additional Issuances of Securities. From the date hereof until
November 21, 2018, the Company shall not, (i) directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option
to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase
or other disposition of) any of its or its Subsidiaries’ equity or equity equivalent securities,
including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at
any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition
or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”) unless the Company shall have first
complied with this Section 4.11. As used herein, “Common Stock Equivalents” means, collectively,
Options and Convertible Securities (each, as defined in the Warrants).

(1) The Company shall deliver to each Subscriber an irrevocable written notice
(the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”)
of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which
Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price
and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount
of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the persons or
entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued,
sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange (a) with each such
Subscriber up to that percentage of the Offered Securities necessary for such Subscriber to
maintain such Subscriber’s percentage ownership of the Common Stock on the effective date of
the Offer Notice calculated on a fully diluted basis (the “Basic Amount”), and (b) with
respect to each Subscriber that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion
of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Subscribers as such
Subscriber shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Subscribers subscribe
for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), which process shall be
repeated until the Subscribers shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining
Undersubscription Amount.

(2) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Subscriber must deliver a
written notice to the Company prior to the end of the tenth (10th) Business Day
after such Subscriber’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the
portion of such Subscriber’s Basic Amount that such Subscriber elects to purchase and, if
such Subscriber shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription
Amount, if any, that such Subscriber elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of
Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Subscribers are less than the total
of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Subscriber who has set forth an Undersubscription
Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic
Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided,
however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference
between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the
“Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Subscriber who has subscribed for any
Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available
Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Subscriber bears to the total Basic
Amounts of all Subscribers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to
rounding by the Company to the extent its deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the
terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company
may deliver to the Subscribers a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the
fifth (5th) Business Day after such Subscriber’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.

(3) The Company shall have ten (10) Business Days from the expiration of the
Offer Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered
Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Subscribers (the
“Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement (the “Subsequent Placement
Agreement”) but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein)
and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest
rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to
the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (ii) to publicly announce (a) the
execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (b) either (x) the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the termination of
such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any
documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.

(4) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused
Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4.11(3)
above), then each Subscriber may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the
number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount
that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such
Subscriber elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4.11(2) above multiplied by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company
actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or
sold to Subscribers pursuant to Section 4.11(3) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event
that any Subscriber so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified
in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the
reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have
again been offered to the Subscribers in accordance with Section 4.11(1) above.

(5) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all
of the Refused Securities, the Subscribers shall acquire from the Company, and the Company
shall issue to the Subscribers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the
Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4.11(3) above if the Subscribers have
so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the
Subscribers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution
and delivery by the Company and the Subscribers of a purchase agreement relating to such
Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Subscribers and their
respective counsel.

(6) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Subscribers or other persons in
accordance with Section 4.11(3) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are
again offered to the Subscribers under the procedures specified in this Agreement.

(7) The Company and the Subscribers agree that if any Subscriber elects to
participate in the Offer, (x) neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such
Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent
Placement Documents”) shall include any term or provisions whereby any Subscriber shall be
required to agree to any restrictions in trading as to any securities of the Company owned by
such Subscriber prior to such Subsequent Placement, and (y) the Buyer shall be entitled to
the same registration rights provided to other investors in the Subsequent Placement.

(8) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.11 and unless
otherwise agreed to by the Subscribers, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the
Subscribers that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned
or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case in
such a manner such that the Subscribers will not be in possession of material non-public
information, by the thirtieth (30th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer
Notice. If by the thirtieth (30th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer
Notice no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities
has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received
by the Subscribers, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the
Subscribers shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information
with respect to the Company. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with
respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide each Subscriber with another
Offer Notice and each Subscriber will again have the right of participation set forth in this
Section 4.11. The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice
to the Subscribers in any 60 day period.

(9) The restrictions contained in this Section 4.11 shall not apply in
connection with the issuance of any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Warrants)

ARTICLE V.

ARTICLE VI.

MISCELLANEOUS

6.1 Fees and Expenses. The Company shall reimburse TSL or its designee(s)
(in addition to any other expense amounts paid to any Subscriber prior to the date of this
Agreement) for all reasonable actual costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including all reasonable legal fees and
disbursements in connection therewith and documentation and implementation of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents) on or prior to the Closing, which amount shall be paid
by the Company at the Closing. The Company shall pay, and hold each Subscriber harmless against,
any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and
out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such payment. Except
as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents, each party to this Agreement shall bear its
own expenses in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Subscribers.

6.2 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Subscribers, the
Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed
herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein
and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered
herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor
any Subscriber makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such
matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing
signed by the Company and the Required Holders, and any amendment to this Agreement made in
conformity with the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall be binding on all Subscribers and
holders of Securities. No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to
the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the applicable Securities then
outstanding. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Subscribers
relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company
confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement and the Financing Agreement, no Subscriber has
made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company
or otherwise. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a
waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same
consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to
the Transaction Documents or holders of the Warrants, as the case may be.

6.3 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
required or permitted to be provided under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall
be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of

number or e-mail address specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a

or such other address as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by such Person
by two (2) Trading Days’ prior notice to the other party in accordance with this
Section 6.3.

6.4 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the
provisions hereof. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or
applicability of a more general representation or warranty. The parties agree that each of them
and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction
Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to
be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the
Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

6.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not
assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Subscribers. Any Subscriber may assign its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom
such Subscriber assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to
be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof and of the
applicable Transaction Documents that apply to the “Subscribers.” Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, Securities may be pledged to any Person in connection with a bona fide margin
account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by such Securities.

6.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for
the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each
Indemnitee is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 4.5 and may enforce the
provisions of such Sections directly against the parties with obligations thereunder.

6.7 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. All questions concerning
the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York (except
for matters governed by corporate law in the State of Delaware), without regard to the principles
of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this agreement
(whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers,
stockholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New
York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith
or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the
enforcement of this Agreement). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of
process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via
registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the
address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY
TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

6.8 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants
contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery and/or exercise of the Securities, as
applicable.

6.9 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it
being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any
signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document
format (.pdf) filed of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same
with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

6.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law
or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to
apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or
unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement.

6.11 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents,
whenever any Subscriber exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document
and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein
provided, then such Subscriber may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time
upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part
without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

6.12 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Subscribers and the
Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. Any Person
having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights
specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach
of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore,
the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all
of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate
relief to the Subscribers. The Company therefore agrees that the Subscribers shall be entitled to
seek specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable
relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving
actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

6.13 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments to any Subscriber hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any
Subscriber enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments
or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required
to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company or any Subsidiary by a trustee,
receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law,
state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or
setoff had not occurred.

6.14 Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be
done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other
agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in
order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby.
