(3) CONVERSION OF NOTES. This Note 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 Original Issuance
Date, the Holder
shall be entitled to convert all or any portion of the
Principal
then-outstanding into fully paid and nonassessable shares of
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 Common Stock
upon any
conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a
fraction of a
share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of
a share of
Common Stock up or down, as applicable, to the nearest whole
share. The Company
shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable in respect of
the issuance and
delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any
Principal.
(b) CONVERSION RATE. The number of shares of 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 portion of the
Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise in respect of
which the
applicable determination is being made.
(ii) "CONVERSION PRICE" means, as of any Conversion
Date (as defined below) or other date of determination, $5.50
per share of
Common Stock subject to adjustment as provided for herein.
(c) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION.
(i) OPTIONAL CONVERSION. To convert any Conversion
Amount 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 in
respect of this Note
in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the
second (2nd)
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"), which
confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer
Agent to process
such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein (the
"SHARE DELIVERY
DATE"), and (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is
participating in the
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast
4
<PAGE>
Automated Securities Transfer Program, the applicable
registration statement is
effective under the 1933 Act and provided that the Holder is
eligible to receive
shares of Common Stock through DTC, 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 Agent
Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not
participating in the DTC
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the Holder is not
eligible to
receive shares of Common Stock through DTC, 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, pay to the Holder in cash an amount
equal to the
accrued and unpaid Interest and Late Charges (as defined in
Section 24(b)), if
any, on the Conversion Amount up to and including the Conversion
Date. The
Holder undertakes that whenever the Company credits securities
as set forth in
clause (1)(X) of the preceding sentence, (A) upon receipt of
notice from the
Company that the applicable registration statement is not, or no
longer is,
effective in respect of the resale of such securities, the
Holder will not
transfer such securities (other than (I) in connection with a
transfer, wherein
the Holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel
reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, in a generally acceptable form, to
the effect that
such transfer may be made without registration under the
applicable requirements
of the 1933 Act, or (II) the Holder provides the Company with
assurances
reasonably acceptable to the Company that the transfer may be
effected pursuant
to Rule 144 or Rule 144) until the Company notifies the Holder
that the
applicable registration statement becomes effective (again), and
(B) the Holder
shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any claim
of securities
laws violations in respect of the transfer (after the receipt of
the first
notice from the Company provided for in clause (A) of this
sentence but prior to
the receipt of the second notice from the Company provided for
in clause (A) of
this sentence) by the Holder of any security as to which such
credit at DTC has
been effected. If this Note is physically surrendered for
conversion as required
by Section 3(c)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Note
is greater than
the Principal being converted, then the Company shall, as soon
as practicable
and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt
of this Note
(the "NOTE DELIVERY DATE") and at its own expense, issue and
deliver to the
holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(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.
(ii) COMPANY'S FAILURE TO TIMELY CONVERT.
(A) CONVERSION FAILURE. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Note, if 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 Common Stock to which the Holder
is
entitled upon conversion of any Conversion Amount on or prior to
the
date which is three (3) Trading Days after the Conversion Date
(a
"CONVERSION FAILURE"), 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, in addition to all other remedies
available
to the Holder, the Company shall, 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
5
<PAGE>
total purchase price (including reasonable out of pocket
brokerage
commissions, and other reasonable 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 (ii) 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 (A)
such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid
Price
on the Conversion Date.
(B) NOTICE OF VOID CONVERSION; ADJUSTMENT TO
CONVERSION PRICE. If for any reason the Holder has not received
all of
the shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) Business
Day after
the Share Delivery Date in respect of a conversion of this Note,
other
than due to the pendency of a dispute being resolved in
accordance with
Section 23 (a "CONVERSION FAILURE"), then the Holder, upon
written
notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice in respect
of, and
retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this
Note
that has not been converted pursuant to the Holder's Conversion
Notice.
(iii) BOOK-ENTRY. 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) all of the
Principal 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 converted (and the
Interest and Late
Charges paid in respect thereof) 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.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if this Note is converted or redeemed as
aforesaid, the Holder
may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically
surrenders this
Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue
and deliver upon
the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as
the Holder may
request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal
represented by
this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this
Note, acknowledge
and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph,
following
conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the
Principal of this Note
may be less than the principal amount stated on the face
hereof.
(iv) 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. 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 23.

<PAGE>
(d) LIMITATIONS ON CONVERSIONS.
(i) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. The Company shall not
effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder of this Note
shall not have
the right to convert any portion of this 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; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
following the
Optional Redemption Notice Date (as defined in Section 8(a)) the
Maximum
Percentage shall be of no further force and effect on the
Optional Redemption
Date, solely for purposes of effecting a Optional Redemption
pursuant to Section
8. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate 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 in
respect of 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 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 Other 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)(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 (x) the Company's most recent Form 10-K,
Form 10-KSB, Form
10-Q, Form 10-QSB 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 promptly, but in no event no later than 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 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% specified
in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be
effective until
the sixty-first (61st) 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 Notes.
(ii) PRINCIPAL MARKET REGULATION. The Company shall
not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of this
Note, and the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to
receive upon
conversion of this Note any shares of Common Stock, if the
issuance of such
shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of
shares of Common
Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion or exercise,
as applicable, of
the Notes, the PIPE Notes and Warrants without breaching the
Company's
obligations under the rules or regulations of the applicable
Eligible Market
(the number of shares which may be issued without violating such
rules and
regulations, the "EXCHANGE CAP"), except
7
<PAGE>
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 such
Eligible Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in
excess of such amount
(the "STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL") 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. Unless and
until such
Stockholder Approval or written opinion is obtained, no
purchaser of the Notes
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (each, a
"PURCHASER") shall be
issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise or
otherwise, as
applicable, of Notes or Warrants, shares of 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 Notes issued to such Purchaser
pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement on the Reissue Date and the
denominator of which
is the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued to the
Purchasers pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Reissue Date and the
aggregate
principal amount of the PIPE Notes issued on the Reissue Date
(in respect of
each Purchaser, the "EXCHANGE CAP ALLOCATION"). In the event
that any Purchaser
shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser's Notes,
the transferee
shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser's
Exchange Cap
Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall
apply to such
transferee in respect of 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.
(4) RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.
(a) EVENT OF DEFAULT. Each of the following events shall
constitute an "EVENT OF DEFAULT":
(i) the failure of the applicable Registration
Statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement to
be declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date that is
sixty (60) days
after the applicable Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the
Registration
Rights Agreement), or, while the applicable Registration
Statement is required
to be maintained effective pursuant to the terms of the
Registration Rights
Agreement, the effectiveness of the applicable Registration
Statement lapses for
any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a
stop order) or is
unavailable to any holder of the Notes for sale of all of such
holder's
Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement,
and such lapse
or unavailability continues for a period of ten (10) consecutive
days or for
more than three times in any 365-day period that does not exceed
thirty (30)
days in the aggregate (other, in each case, than days during an
Allowable Grace
Period or a Maintenance Grace Period (as defined in the
Registration Rights
Agreement));
(ii) the suspension from trading or failure of the
Common Stock to be quoted or listed on an Eligible Market for a

8
<PAGE>
(iii) the Company's (A) failure to cure a Conversion
Failure by delivery, subject to the Conversion Limitations set
forth in Section
3(d), of the required number of shares of Common Stock within
fifteen (15)
Business Days after the applicable Conversion Date or (B)
written notice 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
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);
(iv) at any time following the twentieth (20th)
consecutive 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 Conversion Amount of this
Note (without
regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section
3(d) or otherwise);
(v) the Company's failure to pay to the Holder any
amount of Principal (including, without limitation, any
redemption payments),
Interest, Late Charges or other amounts when and as due under
this Note or any
other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities
Purchase 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, (A) in the case of a failure to pay
Interest 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 and (B) if such
payment is prohibited
by the Intercreditor Agreement due solely to the existence of an
Event of
Default occurring under any of the Senior Loan Documents
triggered pursuant to
the Intercreditor Agreement or the Senior Loan Agreement by the
Holder's breach
of this Note or any Transaction Document to which such Holder is
a party;
(vi) the Company's or any Subsidiary's failure to pay
any principal of or interest or premium on any of its
Indebtedness (excluding

Material Adverse Effect;
(xxii) at any time after the initial employment by
ShellCo of the Consultant, (i) ShellCo terminates the employment

(xxiii) any cessation of a substantial part of the

(b) REDEMPTION RIGHT. Upon the Company's obtaining knowledge
of the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of this Note
or any Other
Note, the Company shall, as soon as possible, but in any event,
within four (4)
Business Days, deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and
overnight
courier (an "EVENT OF DEFAULT NOTICE") to the Holder. Subject to
the provisions
of the Intercreditor Agreement, at any time after the earlier of
the Holder's
receipt of such Event of Default Notice and the Holder's
becoming aware of such
an Event of Default in respect of this Note or any Other Note,
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 portion of
this Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this
Note subject to
redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be
redeemed as
provided in Section 12(a), (provided that the Event of Default
giving rise to
such redemption right has not been cured or waived on or before
the second (2nd)
Business Day after the expiration of the payments standstill
period set forth in
the Intercreditor Agreement (notwithstanding any shorter cure
period set forth
in Section 4(a) or any other provision hereof)) by the Company
at a price equal
to the greater of (x) the product of (i) the Conversion Amount
to be redeemed
together with accrued and unpaid Interest and Late Charges, if
any incurred up
to and including the Conversion Date, in respect of such
Conversion Amount and
(ii) the Redemption Premium or (y) the product of (A) the
Closing Sale Price of
the Common Stock on the date immediately preceding such Event of
Default
multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock into
which the amount set
forth in clause (x) would have converted into in accordance with
Section 3(a)
(the "EVENT OF DEFAULT REDEMPTION PRICE"). For purposes of this
Section 4(b) and
Section 12(a), an Event of Default occurring under Section
4(a)(i) hereof shall
12
<PAGE>
be deemed to be cured on the day upon which the applicable
Registration
Statement becomes effective or again becomes available, as
applicable. 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.
The parties hereto
agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any
portion of the Note
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 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, in the case of a
Fundamental Transaction of
the type described in clause (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) of the
definition thereof
if the Successor Entity in such Fundamental Transaction is a
person other than
the Company, (i) such 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) pursuant to written
agreements in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders
including
agreements to deliver to each holder of Notes in exchange for
such Notes a
security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written
instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without
limitation,
having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the
principal amounts then
outstanding and the interest rates of the Notes held by such
holder, having
similar conversion rights as the Notes and having similar
ranking to the Notes,
and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii)
such Successor
Entity (or its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation
whose common
stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market
(other than the
Initial Principal Market). Upon the occurrence of any
Fundamental Transaction,
such 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 such 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, such 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 publicly
traded common stock
(or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its
Parent 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. 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
13
<PAGE>
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"). At any time during the period beginning after the
Holder's receipt of
a Change of Control Notice and ending twenty (20) Trading Days
after 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 Conversion Amount the
Holder is electing to
redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant
to this Section
5 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal the
product of (i)
the sum of the Conversion Amount being redeemed plus accrued and
unpaid Interest
and Late Charges, if any, in respect of such Conversion Amount
up to and
including the date of redemption and (ii) the greater of (x) the
quotient
determined by dividing (A) the greatest of the Closing Sale
Price of the Common
Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of
Control, the
Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock immediately following the
public
announcement of such proposed Change of Control and the Closing
Sale Price of
the Common Stock immediately prior to the public announcement of
such proposed
Change of Control by (B) the Conversion Price, and (y) the
Change of Control
Premium (such product, 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 over payments to stockholders
in connection
with a Change of Control. 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 is
paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption
under this Section
5(c) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into
Common Stock
pursuant to Section 3. 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 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,
and the receipt
by the Holder of the Change of Control Redemption Price shall
constitute full
satisfaction of the amount requested to be redeemed pursuant to
this Section 5.
(6) RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER
CORPORATE
EVENTS.
(a) PURCHASE RIGHTS. If at any time after the Reissue Date,
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 (collectively, 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
14
<PAGE>
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, but without
duplication of the
consideration issuable pursuant to Section 5(a), 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 in respect of
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, (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 in respect of 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. If and whenever on or after the Reissue Date, the Company
(i) 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 Excluded Securities and Common Stock deemed to have been
issued or sold by
the Company in connection with any Excluded Security),
Convertible Securities or
Options entitling the recipient thereof to subscribe for or
purchase shares of
Common Stock for a consideration per share of Common Stock or
(ii) amend or
otherwise modify the terms of any Convertible Securities or
Options to a price
per share of Common Stock (such issuance, subscription or
purchase price or
amended or modified price being referred to as the "NEW ISSUANCE
PRICE") less
than a price (the "APPLICABLE PRICE") equal to the Conversion
Price in effect
immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or
sale (the
foregoing a "DILUTIVE ISSUANCE"), then immediately after such
Dilutive Issuance,
the Conversion Price then in effect shall be:
(i) if such issuance occurs prior to the first
anniversary of the Reissue Date, adjusted to equal the New
Issuance Price, and
(ii) if such issuance occurs on or after the first
anniversary of the Reissue Date, reduced to an amount equal to
the product of
(x) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
Dilutive Issuance
and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the
15
<PAGE>
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 (2) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Conversion
Price in effect
immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by (II) the number
of shares of
Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive
Issuance.
(b) CERTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK. In
case the Company shall at any time or from time to time, on or
after the Reissue
Date and prior to conversion of this Note, distribute to all
holders of shares
of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in
connection with a
merger or consolidation in which the Company is the resulting or
surviving
Person and the Common Stock is not changed or exchanged) cash,
evidences of
indebtedness of the Company, any Subsidiary or another issuer,
securities of the
Company (including Convertible Securities), any Subsidiary or
another issuer or
other assets (excluding dividends payable in shares of Common
Stock for which
adjustment is made under another paragraph of this Section 7 and
any
distribution in connection with the issuance of any Excluded
Securities) or
Options to subscribe for or purchase of any of the foregoing,
then, and in each
such case, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted
(and any other
appropriate actions shall be taken by the Company) by
multiplying the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such
distribution by a fraction
(x) the numerator of which shall be the Weighted Average Price
of the Common
Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately
prior to the date of
distribution less the then fair market value (as determined by
the Company's
Board of Directors in the exercise of their fiduciary duties
with the
concurrence of the Required Holders) of the portion of the cash,
evidences of
indebtedness, securities or other assets so distributed or of
such Options to
subscribe applicable to one share of Common Stock and (y) the
denominator of
which shall be the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock
for the five (5)
consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date of
distribution (but such
fraction shall not be greater than one). Such adjustment shall
be made whenever
any such distribution is made and shall become effective
retroactively to a date
immediately following the close of business on the record date
for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution.
(c) DIVIDENDS AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS IN RESPECT OF THE
COMMON STOCK. In the event that the Company shall at any time or
from time to
time, on or after the Reissue Date and prior to the conversion
of this Note, (A)
pay a dividend or make a distribution payable in shares of
Common Stock on any
class of shares of capital stock of the Company, (B) subdivide
its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C)
combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares or (D) issue
any shares of capital stock by reclassification of its shares of
Common Stock,
the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the
day following
the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such
dividend or distribution or at the opening of business on the
day following the
day on which such subdivision,
16
<PAGE>
combination or reclassification becomes effective, as the case
may be, shall be
adjusted so that the holder of any Notes thereafter surrendered
for conversion
shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common
Stock that such
holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after
the happening of
any of the events described above had such Notes been converted
immediately
prior to the record date in the case of a dividend or
distribution or the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
reclassification. An
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(c) shall become
effective immediately
upon the opening of business on the day next following the
record date (subject
to Section 7(e) below) in the case of a dividend or distribution
and shall
become effective immediately upon the opening of business on the
day next
following the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or
reclassification.
(d) TENDER OFFERS. In the event that the Company shall at
any time or from time to time, on or after the Reissue Date and
prior to the
conversion of this Note, make a payment of cash or other
consideration to the
holders of shares of Common Stock in respect of a tender offer
or exchange
offer, other than an odd-lot offer, and the value of the sum of
(i) the
aggregate cash and other consideration paid for such shares of
Common Stock, and
(ii) any other consent or other fees paid to holders of shares
of Common Stock
in respect of such tender offer or exchange offer expressed as
an amount per
share of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged pursuant to
such tender
offer or exchange offer, exceeds the Weighted Average Price of
the Common Stock
on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date any such tender
offer or
exchange offer is first publicly announced (the "ANNOUNCEMENT
DATE"), then the
Conversion Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the
formula:
R' = R x O' x P
F + (P x O)
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
R = the Conversion Price in effect at the expiration time of the
tender
offer or exchange offer that is the subject of this Section 7(d)
(the
"EXPIRATION TIME");
R' = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the
Expiration
Time;
F = the fair market value (as determined by the Company's Board
of
Directors in the exercise of their fiduciary duties with the
concurrence of the
Required Holders) of the aggregate value of all cash and any
other consideration
paid or payable for shares of Common Stock validly tendered or
exchanged
(including any consent or other fees) and not withdrawn prior to
the Expiration
Time (the "PURCHASED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK");
O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after
the Expiration Time less any Purchased Shares of Common
Stock;
O' = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after
the Expiration Time, plus any Purchased Shares of Common Stock;
and
P = the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the five
(5)
consecutive Trading Days beginning two (2) Trading Days after
the Announcement
Date.
Such decrease, if any, shall become effective immediately upon
the opening of
business on the day next following the Expiration Time. In the
event that the
Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any tender
offer, but the
Company is prevented by applicable law from effecting any such
purchases or all
such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall
17
<PAGE>
again be adjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in
effect if such
tender or exchange offer had not been made. If the application
of this Section
7(d) to any tender or exchange offer would result in an increase
in the
Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender or
exchange offer
under this Section 7(d).
(e) 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),
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.
(8) COMPANY'S RIGHT OF OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
(a) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. If on any Trading Day on or after
the third anniversary of the Reissue Date and prior to the
Maturity Date, the
Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common Stock has equaled
or exceeded
180% of the Conversion Price then in effect for each of 20
consecutive Trading
Days ending on the Redemption Period End Day and provided that
the applicable
Eligible Market is not the Initial Principal Market and no
Equity Conditions
Failure then exists, the Company shall have the right to redeem
all or any
portion of the Conversion Amount then remaining under this Note
(an "OPTIONAL
REDEMPTION"). 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 sum
of (i) the Principal being redeemed and (ii) the amount of any
accrued and
unpaid Late Charges on such Principal and any accrued and unpaid
Interest
through the date of redemption (the "OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
PRICE"). The Company
may exercise its redemption right under this Section 8 by
delivering a written
notice thereof by confirmed facsimile and overnight courier to
all, but not less
than all, of the holders of Notes and the Transfer Agent (the
"OPTIONAL
REDEMPTION NOTICE" and the date such notice is delivered to all
the holders is
referred to as the "OPTIONAL REDEMPTION NOTICE DATE"). The
Optional Redemption
Notice shall be irrevocable. The Optional Redemption Notice
shall state (A) the
date on which the Optional Redemption shall occur (the "OPTIONAL
REDEMPTION
DATE") which date shall be not less than 30 days nor more than
60 days after the
Optional Redemption Notice Date, and (B) the aggregate principal
amount (the
"OPTIONAL REDEMPTION AMOUNT") of the Notes which the Company has
elected to be
subject to Optional Redemption from all of the holders of the
Notes pursuant to
this Section 8 (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes)
on the Optional
Redemption Date. The Company will make a public announcement
containing the
information set forth in the Optional Redemption Notice on or
before the
Optional Redemption Notice Date. The Company may not effect more
than one
Optional Redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 8,
until the Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the
Optional Redemption
Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holders
into shares of
Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. All Conversion Amounts
converted by the
Holder after the Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce
the Conversion
Amount of this Note required to be redeemed on the Optional
Redemption Date.
Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made in
accordance with
Section 12 to the extent applicable.

(b) PRO RATA REDEMPTION REQUIREMENT. If the Company elects
to cause an Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 8(a), then
it must
simultaneously take the same action in respect of the Other
Notes. If the
Company elects to cause an Optional Redemption pursuant to
Section 8(a) (or
similar provisions under the Other Notes) in respect of 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 (i) the aggregate principal amount
of Notes which
the Company has elected to cause to be redeemed pursuant to
Section 8(a),
multiplied by (ii) 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 in respect of each
holder is referred
to as its "REDEMPTION ALLOCATION PERCENTAGE", and such amount in
respect of 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.
(9) SECURITY. This Note and the Other Notes are secured to
the
extent and in the manner set forth in the Security Documents (as
defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement).
(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 subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement.
(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 130% of the Conversion Rate in
respect of the
Conversion Amount of each such Note as of the Reissue Date. For
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,
130% of 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 on the Reissue Date 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
19
<PAGE>
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) HOLDER'S REDEMPTIONS.
(a) MECHANICS. 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 Intercreditor Agreement does not prohibit the payment by
the Company of
the Default Redemption Price at such time, and if such payment
is then so
prohibited, on the third (3rd) Business Day after such
prohibition lapses;
provided that if the Event(s) of Default giving rise to the
redemption right
shall have been cured or waived on or before the second (2nd)
Business Day after
such prohibition's lapsing, such redemption right shall
terminate. 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 concurrently with the consummation of such
Change of Control
if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such
Change of Control
and within five (5) Business Days after the Company's receipt of
such notice
otherwise. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the
Conversion
Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be
issued and delivered
to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d))
representing the
outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. In the event
that 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, to require the Company to promptly return to the
Holder all or any
portion of this Note representing the Conversion Amount that was
submitted for
redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price
(together with any Late
Charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company's receipt
of such notice,
(x) the Redemption Notice shall be null and void in respect of
such Conversion
Amount, (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or
issue a new Note
(in accordance with Section 18(d)) to the Holder representing
such Conversion
Amount and (z) the Conversion Price of this Note or such new
Notes shall be
adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect
on
20
<PAGE>
the date on which the Redemption Notice is voided and (B) the
lowest Closing Bid
Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on and
including the date
on which the Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and
ending on and
including the date on which the Redemption Notice is voided. 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 in
respect of the Conversion Amount 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) (each, an "OTHER
REDEMPTION NOTICE"), the
Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business
Day after 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.
(13) 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.
(14) COVENANTS.
(a) RANK. All payments due under this Note (i) shall rank
(A) PARI PASSU with all Other Notes, (B) junior to the Permitted
Senior
Indebtedness, (C) senior to the Subordinated Indebtedness, all
Indebtedness not
constituting Permitted Indebtedness and all Permitted
Indebtedness expressly
designated as ranking junior to the Notes, and (D) PARI PASSU
with all other
Permitted Indebtedness and (ii) shall be secured by a security
interest in
substantially all of the assets of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, other than
the Foreign Subsidiaries (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement), the
escrowed funds referenced in SCHEDULE 14(A) and as otherwise
provided in the
Security Agreement (junior only to the security interests
securing the Permitted
Senior Indebtedness) and such security interests shall rank PARI
PASSU with the
security interests securing the Indebtedness under the Other
Notes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Company shall have received
notice of the
existence of any Lien, the existence or priority of which is in
violation of the
first sentence of this Section 14(a), Company shall have ten
(10) days after the
receipt of such notice to remove such Lien (or obtain the
agreement of the
holder of such Lien that such Lien ranks in priority in
accordance with the
first sentence of this Section 14(a)).

with recourse
to it or any of its Subsidiaries or assign or otherwise
transfer, or permit any
of its Subsidiaries to assign or otherwise transfer, any account
or other right
to receive income; other than, as to all of the above, Permitted
Liens.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Company shall have received
notice of the
existence of any Lien, the existence of which is in violation of
the first
sentence of this Section 14(c), Company shall have ten (10) days
after the
receipt of such notice to effect the removal of such Lien.

whether by way of open
market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or
otherwise), all or any
portion of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Senior
Indebtedness,
Indebtedness evidenced by the Other Notes or Permitted
Indebtedness (other than

be restricted
by the provisions of this Note, the Security Documents, the
Warrant, the
Securities Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights
Agreement), whether by
way of payment in respect of principal of (or premium, if any)
or interest on
such Indebtedness, if at the time such payment is due or is
otherwise made, or,
after giving effect to such payment, an event constituting, or
that with the
passage of time and without being cured would constitute, an
Event of Default
has occurred or would occur and is, or would be, continuing;
provided that
notwithstanding the foregoing, no principal (or any portion
thereof) of any
Subordinated Indebtedness may be paid (whether upon maturity,
redemption,
acceleration or otherwise) so long as this Note is outstanding
and for at least
91 days thereafter.
(e) RESTRICTION ON REDEMPTION AND CASH DIVIDENDS. Until this
Note has been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in
accordance with its
