Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 28.
(1)MATURITY. On the Maturity Date (as defined below), 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.

(2)INTEREST; INTEREST RATE. Interest on this Convertible Note shall commence accruing on January][ ], 2008 and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed and shall be payable in arrears on each January (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 January 15, 2009. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date for
the applicable Interest Period, to the record holder of this Convertible Note on the applicable Interest Date, entirely by increasing the amount of Principal outstanding under this Convertible Note (“Accreted Interest”).

If an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs and such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in Section 28(xvii) 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. At any time or times on or after the “Conversion Exercise Right 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 following the Conversion Exercise Right Date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile
2
(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 asExhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section 3(c)(ii), 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 (1st) 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 (3rd) 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)(ii) 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 18(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)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 18. 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
3
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.
(iii)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, 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 23.
(iv)Limitations on Conversions \ 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 Convertible 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 of the Convertible Notes 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 Holder shall be issued, upon conversion of Convertible Notes, 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 Holder pursuant to such Holder’s Convertible Notes as of the Holders’ Issuance Dates and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Convertible Notes issued to the Holders pursuant to the Facility Agreement (with respect to each Holder, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Convertible Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’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
4
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.
(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 failure to undertake a required conversion by delivery of the required number of shares of Class A Common Stock within ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Conversion Date or Change of Control Settlement Date (as defined below), 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) the Company’s failure to pay to the Holder any amount of Principal, 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 to properly accrue Accreted Interest except, in the case of a failure to pay Late Charges or accrue Accreted Interest when and as due, in which case only if such failure continues for a period of at least five (5) Business Days;
(iv) 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);
(v) the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries, pursuant to or within the meaning of Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar Federal, foreign or state law for the relief of debtors (collectively, “Bankruptcy Law”), (A) commences a voluntary case, (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary
5
case, (C) consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official (a “Custodian”), (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or (E) admits in writing that it is generally unable to pay its debts as they become due;
(vi) 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;
(vii) 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;
(viii) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in the Facility Agreement except in the case of a breach of covenant which is curable, only if such breach continues for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business Days;
(ix) any failure by the Company to give the Change of Control Notice pursuant to Section 5(b);
(x) any Event of Default (as defined in the Additional Convertible Notes) occurs with respect to any Additional Convertible 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) 100% 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
6
Class A Common Stock on the date immediately preceding such Event of Default (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12. The Company’s obligation to pay the Holder the Event of Default Redemption Price is subject in all respects to the Company’s obligations to the holders of Senior Indebtedness under Section 14 hereof.
(c)Exercise of Remedies. In connection with any exercise of remedies following the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default, the Holder agrees that the Stonehouse Royalty Agreement and the obligations of the Company thereunder to make the Stonehouse Royalty Payments shall follow the assets of the Company and shall not be diminished or otherwise impaired by any affirmative action or actions of the Holder including the exercise of any remedies;provided,however, that the foregoing shall not limit, abridge, or otherwise impair the Holder’s right to receive all required Principal, Interest, redemption payments and Late Charges under this Convertible Note. 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 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 Facility Agreement 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
7
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. No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control (but in no event 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”). At any time during the period (the “Change of Control Measuring Period”) beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date of the consummation of such Change of Control (or, in the event a Change of Control Notice is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control, at any time on or after the date which is ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control and ending ten (10) 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 at a price (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”) equal to the greatest of (i) the sum of (A) the product of (x) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the Closing Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control by (II) the Conversion Price and (B) the Present Value of Interest, or (ii) the sum of (A) the value of the consideration, assuming that the entire Conversion Amount being redeemed were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at the then prevailing Conversion Rate, issuable per share of Common Stock in such Change of Control for the entire Conversion Amount being redeemed and (B) the Present Value of Interest (if any) and (iii) the sum of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (B) the Present Value of Interest (if any). 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. In addition to the foregoing, at the time of the consummation of any such Change of Control, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the Present Value of Interest (if any) for any Conversion Amount converted pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 hereof during the Change of Control Measuring Period. 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. The Company’s obligation to pay the Holder the Change of Control Redemption Price is subject in all respects to the Company’s obligations to the holders of Senior Indebtedness under Section 14 hereof.

(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 conversion of this Convertible Note in accordance with its terms, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had converted this Convertible Note into shares of Class A Common Stock 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. Notwithstanding this Section 6(b), in no event shall the Company be obligated to distribute any Purchase Rights pursuant to this Section 6(b) if and to the extent that it has distributed such Purchase Rights to the Holder pursuant to Section 6(a).
(7)RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.
(a)Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any
9
time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
(b)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, 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 Convertible Note; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7.
(8)COMPANY’S RIGHT OF REDEMPTION.
(a)Mandatory Redemption. If at any time from and after the three (3) year anniversary of the Issuance Date (such date being the “Mandatory Redemption Eligibility Date”), (i) the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Class A Common Stock exceeds 300% of the Conversion Price on the Issuance Date (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions after the Issuance Date) for each of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days following the Mandatory Redemption Eligibility Date (such ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period being the “Mandatory Redemption Measuring Period”) and (ii) the Equity Conditions shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Holder from and including the Mandatory Redemption Notice Date (as defined below) through and including the Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below), the Company shall have the right to redeem all or any portion of the Conversion Amount then remaining under this Convertible Note, as designated in the Mandatory Redemption Notice, as of the Mandatory Redemption Date (a “Mandatory Redemption”). The portion of this Convertible Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the Conversion Amount being redeemed (the “Mandatory Redemption Price”) on the date which is thirty (30) days after its delivery of a Mandatory Redemption Notice (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”). The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 8(a) by delivering within not more than two (2) Trading Days following the end of such Mandatory Redemption Measuring Period a written notice thereof by facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of Convertible Notes and the Transfer Agent (the“Mandatory Redemption Notice” and the date all of the holders received such notice is referred to as the “Mandatory Redemption Notice Date”). The Company may deliver no more than two Mandatory Redemption Notices hereunder and each such Mandatory Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Mandatory Redemption Notice shall state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Convertible Notes which the Company has elected to be subject to Mandatory Redemption from all of the holders of the Convertible Notes pursuant to this Section 8(a) (and analogous provisions under the Additional Convertible Notes). All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the Mandatory Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Conversion Amount of this Convertible Note required to be redeemed on the Mandatory Redemption Date. Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall be made in accordance with Section 12. The Company’s right to effect a Mandatory Redemption pursuant to this Section 8 is subject in all respects to the Company’s obligations to the holders of Senior Indebtedness under Section 14 hereof.
10
(b)Pro Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a redemption of all or any portion of the Conversion Amount of this Convertible Note pursuant to Section 8(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to the Additional Convertible Notes.
(9)NO SECURITY. This Convertible Note and the Additional Convertible Notes are unsecured.
(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 Convertible Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Convertible Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Convertible Note.
(11)RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.
(a)Reservation. The Company shall reserve out of its authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock a number of shares of Class A Common Stock for each of the Convertible Notes equal to 100% of the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of each such Convertible Note as of the date of issuance of such Convertible Note. So long as any of the Convertible Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Convertible Notes, 100% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Convertible Notes then outstanding; provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Class A 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 Class A Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Convertible Notes and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders of the Convertible Notes based on the principal amount of the Convertible Notes held by each Holder as of the latest Issuance 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 Convertible Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Class A Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Convertible Notes shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Convertible Notes, pro rata, based on the principal amount of the Convertible Notes then held by such Holders.
(b)Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Convertible Notes remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Class A Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Convertible Notes at least a number of shares of Class A 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
11
shares of Class A Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Convertible 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 seventy-five (75) 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 Class A 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 Class A 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 Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice. 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 on the effective date of a Change of Control (“Effective Date”) if such notice is received prior to the Effective Date of such Change of Control and within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise (the “Change of Control Settlement Date”).

12

(b)Convertible Notes Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Convertible Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Convertible Notes, the Facility Agreement and all other agreements entered into in connection thereof (as each such document may be amended, restated, supplemented, replaced, extended, renewed, rolled over, refunded, refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Subordinated Debt Documents”) including, without limitation, the principal of, premium, if any, interest and any default interest on all the Convertible Notes, the Event of Default Redemption Price and Change of Control Redemption Price with respect to all Convertible Notes subject to repurchase pursuant to Sections 4 or 5 hereof and all reimbursement obligations, fees, prepayment premiums, indemnity expenses, commissions and all other amounts payable in respect of the Subordinated Debt Documents (collectively, the “Subordinated Indebtedness”) is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 14, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed).
(c)Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. In the event of any payment or distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company: (i) holders of Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment in full of all Obligations due in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Indebtedness) or provision shall be made for such amount in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before Holders of the Convertible Notes shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Convertible Notes; and (ii) until all Obligations with respect to Senior Indebtedness (as provided in clause (i) above) are paid in full, any distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for this Section 14 shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness (except that Holders of Convertible Notes may receive Permitted Junior Securities), as their interests may appear.
(d)Payment Default on Senior Indebtedness No Holder of a Convertible Note will ask, demand, sue for, take or receive, directly or indirectly, from the Company, in cash or other property, by set-off or payment of any or all of the Obligations under any Subordinated Debt Documents until all Obligations under the Senior Debt Documents shall have been paid in full. Neither the Company, nor any person on behalf of the Company, will make any payment in respect of any of the Obligations under the Subordinated Debt Documents, or take any other action, in contravention of the provisions of this Section 14. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14 to the contrary, the Holders of the Convertible Notes may accrue Accreted Interest as provided for in Section 2 of this Convertible Note.
13
(e)Acceleration of Convertible Notes. If payment of the Convertible Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, unless the full amount in respect of all Senior Indebtedness is paid in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, or interest on, on the Convertible Notes or upon conversion or repurchase of any of the Convertible Notes (other than in the form of Permitted Junior Securities), and the Company shall promptly notify holders of the Senior Debt Holders of the acceleration.
(f)When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. In the event that the Holder receives any payment of any Obligations or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character (other than Permitted Junior Securities), whether in cash, property or securities (including, without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise) with respect to the Subordinated Debt Documents, such payment shall be held by such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to the Senior Debt Holders as their interests may appear or as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
(g)Third Party Beneficiaries; Specific Performance. Each Holder of a Convertible Note and the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Debt Holders shall be third party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 14. The Senior Debt Holders are hereby authorized to demand specific performance of the provisions contained in this Section 14 at any time when any Holder shall have failed to comply with any such provisions applicable to such Holder whether or not the Company shall have complied with any of the provisions hereof applicable to the Company, and each Holder hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.
(h)Subrogation.After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and until the Convertible Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Convertible Notes and entitled to similar rights of subrogation) to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness to the extent that payments or distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Section 14 to holders of Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to Holders (whether by the Company, any Holder or otherwise) is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on the Convertible Notes.
(i)Relative Rights. This Section 14 defines the relative rights of Holders of Convertible Notes and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Convertible Note shall: (a) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
14
Convertible Notes in accordance with their terms; (b) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Convertible Notes. If the Company fails because of this Section 14 to pay principal of, premium, if any, interest or any default interest on a Convertible Note on the due date, the failure is still a default or Event of Default.
(j)Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Convertible Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this Convertible Note.
(k)Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to any Senior Debt Holder, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative (to the extent that notice has been given to the Holders that a Representative has been appointed). Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Section 14, the Holders of Convertible Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Holders of Convertible Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 14.
(l)Amendments. No Convertible Note, including without limitation, the provisions of this Section 14, shall be amended or modified in any manner without the written consent of all Senior Debt Holders then outstanding.
(m)Agreement to Subordinate Unaffected. The provisions of this Section 14 shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of (i) any amendment, modification, or supplement of, or any waiver or consent to, any of the terms of the Senior Indebtedness or the agreement or instrument governing the Senior Indebtedness, (ii) the release or non-perfection of any collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness or (iii) the manner of sale or other disposition of the collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness or the application of the proceeds upon such sale.
(n)Certain Conversions Deemed Payment. For the purposes of this Section 14 only, (i) the issuance and delivery of Permitted Junior Securities upon conversion of Convertible Notes in accordance with Section 3 shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution of any amount on the Convertible Notes or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Convertible Notes, and (ii) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (other than cash in lieu of fractions), property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities) upon conversion of a Convertible Note shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of such Convertible Note.
Nothing contained in this Section 14 or elsewhere in this Convertible Note is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Convertible Note to convert such Convertible Note in accordance with Section 3, as provided therein.
15
(o)Amounts Owned to Secured Note Investors.In addition to (and not in substitution for) the provisions of this Section 14, it is further understood and agreed that the Company shall not pay, pre-pay, repay, repurchase or defease (directly or indirectly), any amounts owed under this Convertible Note until at least 91 days following the final maturity dates of each of the Secured Notes. In addition to (and not in substitution for) the requirements of Section 14(l), the provisions of this Section 14(o) shall not be amended or modified in any manner adverse to the holders of Secured Notes without the written consent of Senior Debt Holders then outstanding; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Holders of Convertible Notes from accruing Accreted Interest as provided for in Section 2 of this Convertible Note.
(p)Stonehouse Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder agrees not to claim any rights to the Stonehouse Payments pursuant to the Stonehouse Royalty Agreement among the parties thereto and to the extent that such Holder receives any Stonehouse Payments otherwise due to or required to be paid to Stonehouse under the Stonehouse Royalty Agreement, the Holder agrees to turn over such payment to Stonehouse.
