be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest
or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived, anything contained in this Convertible Note or in any other
Transaction Document to the contrary
notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence or existence of any
Event of Default described in Sections 4(f) or Section

6.
Covenants
. The Company hereby covenants and agrees for the
benefit of the Holder as follows:
(a)
Additional Notes . Any Additional Notes issued
pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Convertible Note will
be, when issued, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens other than restrictions
on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents and
applicable federal and state securities laws.
(b)
Conversion Shares . All Conversion Shares that
may be issued upon the conversion of this Convertible Note and any
Additional Notes will be, when issued, duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all preemptive
rights and Liens other than restrictions on transfer provided for
in the Transaction Documents and applicable federal and state
securities laws and charges with respect to the issuance
thereof. The Company will at all times have authorized
and reserved and kept available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of this Convertible Note and any Additional Notes, such
number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of this Convertible Note and
all Additional Notes. If at any time the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be
sufficient to effect the conversion of this Convertible Note and
all Additional Notes, the Company will take all such corporate
actions as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be
sufficient for such purposes.
(c)
Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and
delivery of the Conversion Shares shall be made without charge to
the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax (other
than related to the income of the Holder), transfer agent fee or
other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such
certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the registration of any certificates for Conversion
Shares in a name other than that of the Holder. The
Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may
arise as a result of holding or transferring this Convertible Note
or receiving Conversion Shares.
(a) Except
as provided in this Section 7 , the Company shall have no
right to prepay the principal amount of this Convertible Note prior
to the Maturity Date, or any interest accruing under this
Convertible Note prior to the scheduled date for payment of such
interest.
(b) If
the Market Price as of the fourth anniversary of the First Tranche
Closing Date shall be no less than 200% of the conversion price
then in effect under the First Tranche Note, then the Company shall
have the one-time option to prepay up to one half of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued
but unpaid interest thereon, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 5.25 of the Purchase
Agreement.
(a)
Optional Conversion . At any time, or from time
to time, prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder shall have the
option to convert up to the entire amount outstanding under this
Convertible Note (including accrued but unpaid interest) into a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (i) the amount to be converted by (ii) the Conversion
Price then in effect.
(b)
Mandatory Conversion . If on any date occurring
at least 31 Trading Days following the Date of Issuance, the Market
Price as of such date exceeds 300% of the then-effective Conversion
Price, then the entire amount outstanding under this Convertible
Note (including accrued but unpaid interest) shall be automatically
converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount outstanding under this
Convertible Note (including accrued but unpaid interest) by (ii)
the Conversion Price then in effect. The Company shall
notify the Holder promptly (and in any event not later than three
Business Days) following any mandatory conversion of this
Convertible Note pursuant to this Section 8(b) .

Mechanics and Effect of Conversion . No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion
of this Convertible Note. Upon the conversion of all of
the principal and accrued interest outstanding under this
Convertible Note, in lieu of the Company issuing any fractional
shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder the
amount of outstanding principal and accrued interest that is not so
converted. Upon any partial conversion of this
Convertible Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder (i) the
shares of Common Stock into which the applicable portion of the
principal and accrued interest under this Convertible Note is
converted and (ii) a new Note identical in all respects to this
Convertible Note except that it shall have a principal amount equal
to the difference between (1) the outstanding principal
amo
