Original Issuance Date: December 30, 2004    Principal: U.S. $                     
Issuance Date: June 1, 2007   

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, WorldSpace, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby promises to pay to [NAME OF BUYER] or registered assigns (“ Holder ”) the amount set out above as the Principal (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 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 Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Note (including all Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “ Convertible Note ”) amends, supplements, modifies and completely restates and supersedes the Convertible Note, with an original issuance date December 30, 2004, issued by the Company to the Holder in the original Principal amount of $[            ], but shall not, except as specifically amended hereby or as set forth in the Amendment Agreements (as defined below), constitute a release, satisfaction or novation of any of the obligations under any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). This Convertible Note is one of an issue of Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Amendment, Redemption and Exchange Agreements dated as of June 1, 2007 (the “ Amendment Agreements ” and the date the transactions contemplated by the Amendment Agreements are consummated, the “ Amendment Date ”) by and between each of the Buyers (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the Company (collectively, the “ Convertible Notes ” and such other Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Notes, the “ Additional Convertible Notes ”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 29.

(1) MATURITY . On the Maturity Date, the Holder shall surrender this Convertible Note to the Company and the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges, if any. The “ Maturity Date ” shall be May 31, 2010.

(2) INTEREST; INTEREST RATE . Interest on this Convertible Note shall commence accruing on the May 31, 2007 and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed and shall be payable in arrears on each February 28 (or in a leap-year, February 29), May 31, August 31 and November 30 (the period of such accruing interest being referred to as an “ Interest Period ”) during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and

 


ending on, and including, the Maturity Date (each, an “ Interest Date ”) with the first Interest Date being August 31, 2007. Interest shall be payable by the Company on each Interest Date for the applicable Interest Period, to the record holder of this Convertible Note on the applicable Interest Date, entirely in cash. Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Convertible Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest in the Conversion Amount in accordance with Section 3(b)(i). If an Event of Default occurs and such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in Section 29(xxi) shall cease to be effective as of the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated 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 . This Convertible Note shall be convertible into shares of Class A 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 Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all taxes (excluding any taxes on the income of the Holder) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

(b) Conversion Rate . The number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “ Conversion Rate ”).

(i) “ Conversion Amount ” means the sum of (A) the portion of the Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made, (B) accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal and (C) accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Principal and Interest.

(ii) “ Conversion Price ” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination $4.25, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion .

(i) Optional Conversion . To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Class A 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 Convertible 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 Convertible Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before 4:00 p.m., New York Time, on the first (1 st ) Business 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, if any (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before 4:00 p.m., New York Time, on the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent, if any, is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Class A 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 Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or if the foregoing is not applicable, 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 Class A Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If this Convertible Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section 3(c)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Convertible Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Convertible Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Convertible Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Convertible Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert . If, at any time, the Company shall fail to issue a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon conversion of any Conversion Amount on or prior to the date which is five Business Days after the Conversion Date (a “ Conversion Failure ”), then (A) the Company shall pay damages to the Holder for each date of such Conversion Failure in an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Class A 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 Convertible 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)(ii) or otherwise. In lieu of the foregoing, if within three (3) Business 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 Class A Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Class A Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Holder may elect to require the Company to, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) 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 Class A Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price” ), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Class A Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Class A 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 (A) such number of shares of Class A Common Stock times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.

(iii) Registration; Book-Entry . The Company shall maintain a register (the “ Register ”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Convertible Note and the principal amount of the Convertible 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 Convertible Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Convertible 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 19. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Convertible Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Convertible Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Convertible 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 physical surrender and reissue of this Convertible Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal, Interest and Late Charges 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 Convertible Note upon conversion.

(iv) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes . In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Convertible Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Convertible Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Convertible Notes electing to have

 


Convertible Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of each such holder’s portion of its Convertible Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Convertible Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Convertible Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Convertible Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Class A Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 24.

(v) Limitations on Conversions .

(1) Beneficial Ownership . The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Convertible Note, and the Holder of this Convertible Note shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Convertible Note pursuant to Section 3(a), to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, 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 Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Convertible 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, nonconverted portion of this Convertible Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Additional Convertible Notes or warrants) 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), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Section 3(d), 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 (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-KSB, Form 10-K, Form 10-QSB, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) 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 two (2) Business Days 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 Convertible Note, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, or after receipt of notice of a Fundamental Transaction to any other percentage, specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Convertible Notes. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3(d) to the contrary, it is agreed and understood that the limitation on conversions contained in this Section 3(d) shall in no way limit any of the Company’s rights under Sections 8(a) and 8(c) of this Convertible Note.

 


(2) Principal Market Regulation . The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of this Convertible Note, and the Holder of this Convertible Note shall not have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note any shares of Class A Common Stock, if the issuance of such shares of Class A Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of the Convertible Notes and Warrants without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the “ Exchange Cap ”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of Class A Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no Investor (as defined in the Amendment Agreements) shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of Convertible Notes or Warrants, shares of Class A Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Convertible Notes issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Amendment Agreements on the Issuance Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Convertible Notes issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Amendment Agreements on the Issuance Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the “ Exchange Cap Allocation ”). In the event that any Investor shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Investor’s Convertible Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Investor’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 Convertible Notes shall convert all of such holder’s Convertible Notes into a number of shares of Class A 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 Class A Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Convertible Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes then held by each such holder.

(d) Conversion Upon Fundamental Change . The conversion by the Holder following its receipt of a Change of Control Notice during the Change of Control Conversion/Redemption Period shall be a “ Change of Control Conversion ”. In connection with a Change of Control Conversion, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the Make-Whole Premium with respect to any Conversion Amount converted in accordance with Section 3(c).

(4) RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT .

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

(i) the suspension from trading or failure of the Class A Common Stock to be listed on an Eligible Market for a period of five (5) consecutive

 


days or for more than an aggregate of ten (10) days in any 365-day period; provided, however, that such suspension or failure shall not be deemed an Event of Default if it is a result of any action or actions taken by the SEC or the Eligible Market on which the Class A Common Stock is then listed, which action or actions were generally applicable and affected all issuers with a class of securities listed on such Eligible Market;

(ii) the Company’s (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Make-Whole Premium within ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Conversion Date or Change of Control Settlement Date, as the case may be, or (B) notice, written or oral, to any holder of the Convertible Notes, including by way of public announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of its intention not to comply with a request for conversion of any Convertible Notes into shares of Class A Common Stock that is tendered in accordance with the provisions of the Convertible Notes;

(iii) at any time following the twentieth (20 th ) consecutive Business Day that the Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation is less than the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion of the full Conversion Amount of this Convertible Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(d) or otherwise); provided, however, that such deficiency shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default to the extent, but only to the extent, that it was the result of an unscheduled closure of the applicable regulatory offices or governmental agencies necessary to increase the Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation;

(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 Convertible Note (including, without limitation, the Company’s failure to pay any redemption payments or amounts hereunder) or any other Transaction Document except, in the case of a failure to pay Interest and Late Charges when and as due, in which case only if such failure continues for a period of at least three (3) Business Days;

(v) any default under (after the expiration of all applicable grace periods), redemption of or acceleration prior to maturity of any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which individually or in the aggregate is equal to or greater than $5,000,000 principal amount of Indebtedness (other than with respect to any Additional Convertible Notes or any Bridge Notes);

(vii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that is not vacated, set aside or reversed within sixty (60) days 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 $1,000,000 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 $1,000,000 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 sixty (60) days of the issuance of such judgment;

(ix) the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in any Transaction Document that would have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), or the Company breaches any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 3.32, 3.33, 3.34 or 3.35 of the Securities Purchase Agreement or the covenant set forth in Section 7.16 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant (other than Section 7.16 of the Securities Purchase Agreement) which is curable, only if such breach continues for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business Days;

(x) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in the Letter Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement);

(xi) any breach or failure in any respect to comply with Section 14 of this Convertible Note;

(xiv) any material provision of any Second Lien Security Document (as determined by the Second Lien Collateral Agent) shall at any time for any reason (other than pursuant to the express terms thereof) cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against the Company or any Subsidiary intended to be a party thereto, or

 


the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by the Company or any such Subsdiary, or a proceeding shall be commenced by the Company or any Subsidiary or any governmental authority having jurisdiction over any of them, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or the Company or any Subsidiary shall deny in writing that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under any Second Lien Security Document; (xv) any Second Lien Security Agreement, any Guarantee or any other security document, after delivery thereof pursuant hereto, shall (after any applicable grace period provided in any Second Lien Security Agreement or Guarantee) for any reason fail or cease to create a valid and perfected Lien, except to the extent permitted by the terms hereof or thereof, in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Convertible Notes on any material portion of Collateral (as defined in the Second Lien Security Documents) purported to be covered thereby;

(xvi) any material damage to, or loss, theft or destruction of, any Collateral, whether or not insured, or any strike, lockout, labor dispute, embargo, condemnation, act of God or public enemy, or other casualty which causes, for more than twenty (20) consecutive days, the cessation or substantial curtailment of revenue producing activities at any facility of the Company or any Subsidiary, if any such event or circumstance could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); or

(xvii) any Event of Default (as defined in the Additional Convertible Notes or any Bridge Notes) occurs with respect to any Additional Convertible Notes or any Bridge Notes.

(b) Redemption Right . Promptly after the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Convertible Note or any Additional Convertible Note, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile 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 Convertible Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “ Event of Default Redemption Notice ”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Convertible Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Convertible Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed and (y) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate with respect to such Conversion Amount in effect at such time as the Holder delivers an Event of Default Redemption Notice and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock on the date immediately preceding such Event of Default (the “ Event of Default Redemption Price ”).

In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event the Company files a petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Holders shall not oppose the entry of an order, on motion by any party, authorizing the Company to assume the Stonehouse Royalty Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit J to the Securities Purchase Agreement as an executory contract

(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) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Convertible Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Convertible Notes in exchange for such Convertible Notes a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Convertible Notes, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts and the interest rates of the Convertible Notes held by such holder and having similar ranking to the Convertible Notes, and satisfactory to the Required Holders (the “ Successor Note ”) and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock or equivalent equity security is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. 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 Convertible 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 Convertible Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein, until such time as the Successor Note is delivered. 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 Convertible Note at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Class A Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the conversion or redemption of the Convertible Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Convertible Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Convertible 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 Convertible Note.

 


(b) Redemption Right upon Change of Control . If prior to the Maturity Date there shall have occurred a Change of Control, the Company shall irrevocably offer to redeem all or a portion of this Convertible Note (a “ Change of Control Redemption ”) at the Change of Control Redemption Price on the Change of Control Settlement Date. No sooner than fifteen (15) 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 and overnight courier to the Holder (a “ Change of Control Notice ”) which shall state:

(i) the events causing a Change of Control and the anticipated Effective Date;

(ii) the last date of the Change of Control Conversion/Redemption Period (as defined below) by which the Holder must deliver a Change of Control Redemption Notice to elect the redemption option pursuant to this Section 5(b) or deliver a Conversion Notice requesting conversion upon a Change of Control in accordance with Section 3(c);

(iii) the Change of Control Settlement Date;

(iv) the Change of Control Redemption Price;

(v) the Conversion Price applicable on the date of the Change of Control Notice;

(vi) that Convertible Notes may be converted in connection with a Change of Control;

(vii) that the Change of Control Redemption Price for any Convertible Note as to which a Change of Control Redemption Notice has been duly given will be paid promptly on the Change of Control Settlement Date; and

(viii) that the Holder is entitled to receive a Make-Whole Premium upon any conversion occurring within the Change of Control Conversion/Redemption Period.

At any time during the period (the “ Change of Control Conversion/Redemption Period ”) beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of such Change of Control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Convertible Note by delivering written notice thereof (“ Change of Control Redemption Notice ”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Convertible Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the Conversion Amount being redeemed (the “ Change of Control Redemption Price ”). Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 5(b) (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 and shall be entitled to receive the Make-Whole Premium upon any such conversion.

 


(c) Make-Whole Premium . (i) If a Change of Control occurs, the Company shall pay the Make-Whole Premium to the holders of the Convertible Notes who effect a Change of Control Conversion at any time during the Change of Control Conversion/Redemption Period.

(A) The Make-Whole Premium shall be equal to an additional number of shares of Class A Common Stock calculated in accordance with this Section 5(c). The Make-Whole Premium will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any cash, securities or other assets otherwise due to the Holder upon conversion as described in this Convertible Note.

(B) The “ Make-Whole Premium ” shall be equal to the Conversion Amount of the Convertible Notes to be converted divided by $1,000 and multiplied by the applicable number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined by reference to the table below (the “ Make-Whole Premium Table ”) and is based on the Effective Date and the Stock Price.

(C) The exact Stock Price and Effective Date may not be set forth on the Make-Whole Premium Table, in which case, if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices on the Make-Whole Premium Table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates on the Make-Whole Premium Table, the Make-Whole Premium shall be determined by straight-line interpolation between Make-Whole Premium amounts set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the two Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year (or a 366-day year if the Effective Date occurs in a leap year). The Stock Prices set forth in the column headers are subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5(c)(iii).

(1) If the Stock Price is less than or equal to $2.50 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5(c)(iii), the “ Stock Price Threshold ”), the Make-Whole Premium shall be equal to zero shares of Class A Common Stock.

(2) If the Stock Price is equal to or greater than $15.00 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5(c)(iii), the “ Stock Price Cap ”), the Make-Whole Premium shall be equal to zero shares of Class A Common Stock.

(3) “ Stock Price ” means the price paid per share of Class A Common Stock in the transaction constituting the Change of Control, determined as follows: (i) if holders of Class A Common Stock receive only cash in the transaction constituting the Change of Control, the Stock Price shall equal the cash amount paid per share of Class A Common Stock; and (ii) in all other cases, the Stock Price shall equal the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Price of a share of Class A Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date; and “ Effective Date ” means the date that a Change of Control becomes effective.

(ii) The Company shall pay the Make-Whole Premium solely in shares of Class A Common Stock (other than cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) or in the same form of consideration into which all or substantially all of the shares of Class A Common Stock have been converted or exchanged in connection with the Change of Control. If holders of the Class A Common Stock receive or have the right to receive more than one form of consideration in connection with such Change of Control, then, for purposes of the foregoing, the forms of consideration in which the Make-Whole Premium shall be paid shall be in proportion to the different forms of consideration paid to holders of Class A Common Stock in connection with such Change of Control.

(iii) Whenever the Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company pursuant to Section 7, the Stock Price Threshold and the Stock Price Cap shall be adjusted and each of the Stock Prices set forth in the Make-Whole Premium Table shall be adjusted. The adjusted Stock Price Threshold, Stock Price Cap and Stock Prices set forth in the Make-Whole Premium Table shall equal the Stock Price Threshold, the Stock Price Cap and such Stock Prices, as the case may be, immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Price as so adjusted and the denominator of which is the Conversion Price immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to such adjustment. Each of the share amounts set forth in the body of the Make-Whole Premium Table shall also be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time.

 


(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 Class A Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Convertible Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Convertible 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.

(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 Convertible Note, (i) in the event that the Class A Common Stock remains outstanding after any such Corporate Event, in addition to the shares of Class A 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 Class A Common Stock had such shares of Class A 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 Convertible Note) or (ii) in the event that the Class A Common Stock is no longer outstanding after any such Corporate Event, in lieu of the shares of Class A 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 Convertible Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Class A 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 Convertible Note.
