3. Ranking and Covenants.

(b) So long as any Notes are outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, directly or indirectly, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any capital stock or set aside any monies for such a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of its capital stock (other than pursuant to the definition of “Excluded Stock” under the May Agreement).

(c) If, at any time while any Note is outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary (i) issues or incurs any Indebtedness for borrowed money, including, without limitation, Indebtedness evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or other similar instruments but excluding

Permitted Indebtedness and excluding in connection with the transactions contemplated by the May Agreement, the Company shall notify the Holder of such event and offer (which offer shall remain open for 10 Trading Days) to repurchase an amount of this Note from the Holder having an aggregate price (as determined below) equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of such Indebtedness, and (B) the aggregate amount required to repurchase this entire Note pursuant to this Section 3(c). All Notes repurchased under this Section 3(c) shall be repurchased at a price equal to 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon through the date of payment; provided that, in the event the Equity Conditions are not satisfied on the date of such repurchase and, with respect to clause (ii) of the Equity Conditions, were not satisfied at all times during the 20 Trading Days immediately preceding and including such date, then, such Notes shall be repurchased at a price equal to the greater of (X) 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon through the date of payment and (Y) the Event Equity Value of the Common Stock underlying the Underlying Securities then issuable upon conversion of the Notes repurchased (without regard to any restrictions on conversion).

(d) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Common Stock as required hereunder, the amount of Common Stock which is then issuable and deliverable upon the conversion of (and otherwise in respect of) the Underlying Securities underlying each Note, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder. The Company covenants that all Common Stock so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

(e) The Company may not prepay, repurchase or redeem all or any portion of this Note except as specified herein.

4. Registration of Notes. The Company shall register the Notes upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Note Register”) in the name of each record holder thereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Note as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any conversion hereof or any payment of interest or principal hereon, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

5. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. This Note and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part upon the books of the Company by the Holder hereof; provided, however, that the transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and subject to the conditions of this Note and the Purchase Agreement. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Note in the Note Register upon surrender of this Note to the Company at its address for notice set forth herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Note, in substantially the form of this Note (any such new Note, a “New Note”), evidencing the portion of this Note so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Note evidencing the remaining portion of this Note not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Note by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Note. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized

denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge or other fee will be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

6. Conversion at the Option of the Holder. Provided that the Holder notifies the Company no later than 5:30 p.m. on July 9, 2007 of its intention to convert this Note under this Section 6 (which the Holder may do in its sole and absolute discretion), this Note shall be converted in full by the Holder at the time specified by the Holder (but not later than the consummation of the Merger in accordance with the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated to occur at the Closing (the “May Closing”) as defined in and in accordance with the May Agreement) (the “Conversion Date”), into additional Series A Notes and Series B Notes (subject to the modifications set forth in Section 4.17 of the Purchase Agreement) divided pro rata among Series A Notes and Series B Notes according to the proportion of Series A Notes and Series B Notes purchased or agreed to be purchased by the original Holder of this Note as a Purchaser under the May Agreement. The amount of any Underlying Securities issuable upon any conversion hereunder shall equal the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid interest on this Note through the Conversion Date. The Holder shall effect conversion under this Section 6 by delivering to the Company a Conversion Notice.

7. Mechanics of Conversion; Restrictive Legends.

(a) Upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than two Business Days after the Conversion Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate an instrument for the Underlying Securities issuable upon such conversion. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Underlying Securities, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Underlying Securities as of the Conversion Date.

(b) The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Note in order to effect a conversion hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Conversion Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Note; provided that the cancellation of the original Note shall not be deemed effective until instruments for such Underlying Securities are delivered to the Holder.

(c) The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Underlying Securities upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Underlying Securities (other than such limitations contemplated by this Note).

(d) If by the second Business Day after the Conversion Date the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such Underlying Securities in such amounts and in the manner required pursuant to Section 7(a), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such conversion.

(e) If by the second Business Day after the Conversion Date the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such Underlying Securities in such amounts and in the manner required pursuant to Section 7(a), the Holder shall be entitled to treat this Note as, and this Note shall be deemed to be for all purposes, the physical representation of such Underlying Securities and the Holder shall be entitled to all of the rights of a holder of such Underlying Securities thereupon, including without limitation the right to convert such Underlying Securities into underlying Common Stock immediately thereunder.

Each instrument for Underlying Securities shall bear a restrictive legend to the extent required and as provided in the Purchase Agreement and any instrument issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel for the holder thereof (which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company), the securities represented thereby are not, at such time, required by law to bear such legend.

8. Events of Default.

(a) “Event of Default” means any one of the following events (whatever the reason and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(i) any default in the payment (free of any claim of subordination) of principal, interest or liquidated damages in respect of any Notes, as and when the same becomes due and payable (whether on a date specified for the payment of interest or the date on which the obligations under the Note mature or by acceleration, redemption, prepayment or otherwise);

(ii) the Company or any Subsidiary defaults in any of its covenants or other obligations in respect of (A) any Permitted Indebtedness or (B) any other note or any mortgage, credit agreement or other facility, indenture agreement, factoring agreement or other instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any Indebtedness for borrowed money or money due under any long term leasing or factoring arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary in an amount exceeding $500,000, whether such Indebtedness now exists or is hereafter created, and any such default is not cured within the time permitted by such agreements; or any event or circumstance occurs that with notice or lapse of time would constitute such a default.

(iii) the Company or any Subsidiary is in default under any contract or agreement, financial or otherwise, between the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, and any other Person and such default involves claimed actual damages in excess of $2,500,000 or the other party thereto commences litigation or arbitration

proceedings to exercise its rights and remedies under such contract or agreement as a consequence of such default and such default is not waived or cured within 90 days of the occurrence thereof;

(iv) there is entered against the Company or any Subsidiary (A) a final judgment or order or settlement for the payment of money in an aggregate amount exceeding $1,500,000, except to the extent such amounts have been paid to or on behalf of the Company or such Subsidiary by its respective insurer(s), or (B) any one or more non-monetary final judgments that have, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company or any Subsidiary;

(v) any provision of any Transaction Document, at any time after the date hereof, and for any reason other than as expressly permitted thereunder, ceases to be in full force and effect; or the Company or any Subsidiary contests in any manner the validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document or any provision thereof; or the Company or any Subsidiary denies that it has any or further liability or obligation under any Transaction Document, or purports to revoke, terminate or rescind any Transaction Documents;

(vi) any Security Agreement ceases to give the Agent (as defined in the Security Agreements) the primary benefits thereof, including a perfected, enforceable first priority security interest in, and Lien on, all of the Collateral (as defined therein);

(vii) the occurrence of a Triggering Event; or

(viii) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event.

At any time or times following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder shall have the option to elect, by notice to the Company (an “Event Notice”), to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Note, at a purchase price equal to 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon through the date of payment; provided that if the Equity Conditions are not satisfied on the date of such repurchase and, with respect to clause (ii) of the Equity Conditions, for the 20 Trading Days immediately preceding such date, such Notes shall be repurchased at a price equal to the greater of the price set forth in the foregoing clause and the Event Equity Value of the Common Stock underlying the Underlying Securities then issuable upon conversion of the Notes repurchased (without regard to any restrictions on conversion) and (ii) any Common Stock underlying any Underlying Securities issued to the Holder upon conversion of Notes and then owned by the Holder, at a price per share equal to the Event Equity Value of such issuable and issued Common Stock. The aggregate amount payable pursuant to the preceding sentence is referred to as the “Event Price.” The Company shall pay the Event Price to the Holder no later than the fifth Trading Day following the date of delivery of the Event Notice, and upon receipt thereof the Holder shall deliver this Note and certificates evidencing any Underlying Shares so repurchased to the Company (to the extent such certificates have been delivered to the Holder). The Company’s obligation to pay the Event Price shall be

unconditional and unaffected by any subsequent event (including without limitation any cure of any Event of Default).

(b) Upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event, all amounts pursuant to Section 8(a) shall immediately become due and payable in full in cash, without any further action by the Holder.

(c) In connection with any Event of Default, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Any such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right incidental thereto.

9. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Underlying Shares upon conversion of (or otherwise in respect of) this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Underlying Shares or Notes in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Note or receiving Underlying Shares in respect hereof.

10. Fundamental Changes.

(a) Fundamental Changes. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or more transactions, or (iii) there is a Change of Control (each case in clauses (i) through (iii) above, a “Fundamental Change”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for the Underlying Securities that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Change, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Change if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Change, the holder of such Underlying Securities (the “Alternate Consideration”). If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Change, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Change. In the event of a Fundamental Change, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that:

(x) this Note shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate Consideration;

(y) in the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance such successor or purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company’s obligations under this Note and the other Transaction Documents; and

(z) if registration or qualification is required under the Exchange Act or applicable state law for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock and other securities so issuable upon exercise of this Note, such registration or qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination or sale.

If, in the case of any Fundamental Change, the Alternate Consideration includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Fundamental Change, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving Person in such Fundamental Change shall issue to the Holder a new Note consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such Note into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Change is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving Person to comply with the provisions of this Section 10(a) and insuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Change. If any Fundamental Change constitutes or results in a Change of Control, then at the request of the Holder, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will purchase this Note from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request, equal to the greater of (x) 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon through the date of payment and (y) the Black-Scholes value of this Note; provided that if the Equity Conditions are not satisfied on the date of such repurchase and, with respect to clause (ii) of the Equity Conditions, for the 20 Trading Days immediately preceding such date, such Notes shall be repurchased at a price equal to the greater of (I) the price set forth in the foregoing clause and (II) the Event Equity Value of the Common Stock underlying the Underlying Securities then issuable upon conversion of the Notes repurchased (without regard to any restrictions on conversion).

(b) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 10(a), the Company at its expense will promptly prepare and deliver to the Holder a certificate describing in reasonable detail such Fundamental Change and the transactions giving rise thereto.

(c) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for a Fundamental Change or (ii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 30 Trading Days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with

respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to convert this Note and the corresponding Underlying Securities prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction.
