The Company will indemnify and hold each Holder and its directors, managers, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (each, a “Holder Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Holder Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or by the Company or any other Loan Party in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Holder, or any of its Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Holder, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Holder’s representation, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Holder may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Holder or any such Affiliate of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Holder or any such Affiliate which constitutes wrongful actions or omissions, fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Holder Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Holder Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Holder Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Holder Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time following such Holder Party’s written request that it do so, to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Holder Party. The Company will not be liable to any Holder Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Holder Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to such Holder Party’s wrongful actions or omissions, or gross negligence or willful misconduct, fraud or malfeasance, or to such Holder Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Holder Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
33
5.11 Limitations on Disposition by Holder. Each Holder agrees that no Holder shall sell, transfer, assign or dispose of any Securities, unless:
(a) there is then in effect an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) such Holder has notified the Company in writing of any such proposed disposition, and furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act; provided, however, that no such opinion of counsel will be required (i) if the sale, transfer, assignment or disposition is made to an Affiliate of such Holder, (ii) if the sale, transfer, assignment or disposition is made pursuant to Rule 144 and such Holder provides the Company with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the proposed transaction satisfies the requirements of Rule 144, (iii) if such Securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144(k) or any successor provision or (iv) if in connection with a bona fide pledge or hypothecation of any Securities under a margin arrangement with a broker-dealer or other financial institution or the sale of any such Securities by such broker-dealer or other financial institution following such Holder’s default under such margin arrangement.
5.12 Registration Rights.
(a) Upon the Company becoming eligible to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, the Company shall, upon sixty (60) days written notice from the Investor, use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a Form S-3 Registration Statement providing for an offering of all shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon the conversion of the Consolidated Note (the “Registrable Securities”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the SEC to declare such Form S-3 Registration Statement effective as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Form S-3 Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) two years after such Form S-3 Registration Statement has been declared effective and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such Form S-3 Registration Statement have been sold in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in such Form S-3 Registration Statement, or otherwise.
34
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice to the Investor, that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s board of directors it would be detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration Statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such Form S-3 Registration Statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (a) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (b) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (c) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, to (i) defer taking action with respect to a notice by the Investor to file a registration statement hereunder and/or (ii) require the Investor to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under any such registration statement, in each case for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 90 days in succession or 180 days in the aggregate in any 12 month period.
(c) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Investor and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, managers, partners and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Investor or such other indemnified Person from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, the “Losses”) caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Form S-3 Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by any information furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use therein.
(d) In connection with any Form S-3 Registration Statement, the Investor will furnish to the Company, in writing, information regarding the Investor’s ownership of Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution thereof and, to the extent permitted by law, shall, indemnify the Company, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company or such other indemnified Person against all Losses caused by any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Form S-3 Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is caused by and contained in such information so furnished in writing by the Investor expressly for use therein.
6. MISCELLANEOUS.
6.1 Survival; Severability. The representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the parties herein and in the other Transaction Documents shall survive the Effective Date notwithstanding any due diligence investigation made by or on behalf of the party seeking to rely thereon. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that in such case the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace such provision with a new provision which is not illegal, unenforceable or void, as long as such new provision does not materially change the economic benefits of this Agreement to the parties.

6.4 Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of the other Holders hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. The Company acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or a “group” as described in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that it has been represented by its own separate counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, rights arising out of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, individually, and shall not be required to join any other Holder as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
36
6.5 Injunctive Relief. The Company acknowledges and agrees that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each Holder and that the remedy or remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of any such breach, in addition to all other available remedies, such Holder shall be entitled to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate and specific performance of such obligations without the necessity of showing economic loss or the posting of any bond.

The Company further promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof, from the date hereof until paid in full, at the interest rates, and on the dates, specified below.
This Note is the “Consolidated Note” referred to in and is executed and delivered pursuant to and in connection with the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2012, by and between the Company and the Holder (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).

2. INTEREST; PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL; CALCULATION.
(a) Interest. Subject to Section 2(d) of this Note, the unpaid principal amount of this Note shall bear interest from and including the Issue Date until the principal amount of this Note is paid in full (“Interest”) at a rate per annum equal to six percent (6.0%).
(b) Interest Payments. The Company shall make payments of accrued Interest hereunder on each Interest Payment Date, commencing with the first Interest Payment Date occurring after the Issue Date; provided that no such payment shall be required to be made by the Company on such Interest Payment Date if the Company, in making such payment, would violate terms of the Subordination Agreement. To the extent that any Interest payment is not so made on any Interest Payment Date pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2(b) as a result of the operation of the proviso in such sentence (the amount of such unpaid Interest is referred to, collectively, as the “Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts”), then such failure to make such payment on such Interest Payment Date shall not constitute an Event of Default.
2
(c) Payment on Maturity. The outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, all unpaid Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts and all other amounts due under this Note.
(d) Default Interest. Any amount of principal, (subject to the last sentence in this Section 2(d)) Interest, or Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts that is not paid as and when due in accordance with this Note shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate, compounded monthly, until paid in full, and such interest accrued at the Default Interest Rate shall be payable on demand. For avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that if the Company does not make a monthly Interest payment on any Interest Payment Date pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Note solely as a result of the operation of the proviso in the first sentence of Section 2(b) of this Note, then, for purposes of the first sentence of this Section 2(d), the amount of the Interest payment that was not so made on such Interest Payment Date shall not bear interest at the Default Interest Rate; provided, however, that if any Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts are not paid when due in accordance with Section 2(c) of this Note, then such Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2(d).
(e) Payments of Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts. To the extent that there is any Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts that remains unpaid, the Company shall pay to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days after demand by Holder, the Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts, without premium or penalty; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make such payment to the extent that the Company, in making such payment, would violate the terms of the Subordination Agreement (and, in which case, for purposes of the proviso in the second sentence of Section 2(d) of this Note, such Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts shall not be deemed due after such demand so made).
(f) Payment in Cash. All payments of principal, Interest, default interest (if any), and Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts hereunder shall be paid in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Holder as designated by the Holder to the Company in writing from time to time. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company on account of principal, Interest, default interest (if any), fees and other amounts owing hereunder shall be made without set off or counterclaim.
(g) Calculation of Interest. Any Interest and default interest (if any) payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and calculated using the actual number of days elapsed.
(h) Failure to Make Payments. If the Company does not make any payment of principal, interest or other amounts hereunder when due because such payment, if made, would violate the terms of the Subordination Agreement, then the failure by the Company to make such payment shall not constitute an Event of Default.

3. CONVERSION.
(a) Generally. All or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note may, at any time on or prior to or after the Maturity Date and in the Holder’s sole discretion, be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price in effect at such time. For avoidance of doubt, any Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts shall not constitute principal hereunder.
(b) Mechanics of Conversion. The Holder may, at its option, upon written notice, as provided in Section 6(b), to the Company given at any time and from time to time prior to the payment or prepayment of this Note, convert all or any portion of the principal balance of this Note into shares of Common Stock based on the Conversion Price. Upon any conversion of this Note: (i) such principal amount converted shall become fully paid and satisfied, (ii) the Holder shall surrender and deliver this Note, duly endorsed, to the Company or such other address which the Company shall designate against delivery of the certificates representing the new securities of the Company, (iii) the Company shall promptly deliver a duly executed replacement Note to the Holder in a principal amount equal to the principal amount, if any, that remains outstanding after any such conversion; and (iv) in exchange for all or any portion of the surrendered Note described in the immediately preceding clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 3(b), the Company shall deliver to the Holder certificates representing such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled to receive based on its conversion of the Note in accordance with the calculation of the Conversion Price, which certificates shall bear such legends as are required under applicable state and federal securities laws and as specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement. In no event shall any accrued Interest (including default interest (if any)) and Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts hereunder be subject to the conversion provisions set forth in this Section 3.
(c) Issue Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable with respect to any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion.
(d) Elimination of Fractional Interests. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note, nor shall the Company be required to pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated and that all issuances of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.
4. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Holder shall have the right, upon written notice to the Company (an “Acceleration Notice”), to take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times (i) declare all unpaid principal hereof, any accrued and unpaid Interest (including default interest (if any)) thereon, all Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts (including any default interest (if any) thereon), and any other amounts owing hereunder due and payable on the date specified in such Acceleration Notice, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided such date of payment must be at least two (2) Business Days following the date on which the Acceleration Notice is delivered to the Company, and/or (ii) exercise any rights and remedies under this Note or as permitted by law and/or in equity; and in the case of any event described in clause (b) of the definition of “Event of Default”, all unpaid principal hereof, any accrued and unpaid Interest (including default interest (if any)) thereon, all Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts (including any default interest (if any) thereon), and any other amounts owing hereunder shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the Company shall only make such payment(s) if and only to the extent that such payment(s) would not violate the terms of the Subordination Agreement.
4
5. PREPAYMENTS.
Prepayment of Principal. The Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the outstanding principal amount of this Note, without premium or penalty, upon not less than five (5) days’ prior written notice to the Holder (a “Prepayment Notice”). In order to effectuate such prepayment, the Company shall be obligated to pay the Holder an amount equal to the amounts described in the Prepayment Notice in same day funds on the payment date (the “Prepayment Date”) specified in the Prepayment Notice; provided such date must be at least five (5) days following the date on which the Prepayment Notice is delivered to the Holder; provided, further, however, that the Company may only make such prepayment to the extent that the Company, in making such prepayment, would not violate the terms of the Subordination Agreement. All such principal prepayments shall be applied to the outstanding principal amount of this Note. Any prepayment shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the amount so prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holder delivers an Acceleration Notice at any time prior to the Prepayment Date, then the provisions of Section 4 shall apply and control.
6. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Failure to Exercise Rights 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 any other or further exercise thereof. All rights and remedies of the Holder hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

(c) Payments on Maturity.
(i) The outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, all unpaid Accumulated Unpaid Interest Amounts and all other amounts due under this Note.

(f) Payment in Cash.
