10.2 Payment. All payments under this Note shall be made in lawful tender of the United States.
10.3 Waivers and Amendments. This Note and the obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holder under this Note may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a
-7-
specified period of time or indefinitely) with the written consent of the Company (which shall not be required in connection with a waiver of rights in favor of the Company) and the Majority Investors (and, whenever applicable, the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holder and the holders of the other Notes); provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall reduce the principal amount of this Note or alter any other economic provisions of this Note in a manner adverse to the Holder or amend any of the provisions of this Note related to conversion of this Note in a manner adverse to the Holder without the written consent of the Holder.

10.6 Successors and Assigns. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, this Note and all rights under this Note are transferable in whole or in part by the Holder to any person or entity upon written notice to the Company. This Note may be transferred only upon its surrender to the Borrower for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Borrower. Thereupon, this Note shall be reissued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee, or a new note for like principal amount and interest shall be issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee. Interest and principal shall be paid solely to the registered holder of this Note. Such payment shall constitute full discharge of the Borrower’s obligation to pay such interest and principal. The Company may not transfer this Note or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Majority Investors. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Note or the Purchase Agreement, the provisions of this Note and the Purchase Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the Company and the Holder.
10.7 Usury. All agreements between the Company and the Holder, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned under this Note or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Note or of any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable usury law, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstances the Holder shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest by applicable law under this Note or any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest
-8-
lawful rate, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Note or on account of any other indebtedness of the Company to the Holder relating to this Note, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of this Note and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to the Company. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to any indebtedness of the Company to the Holder, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful rate, the Company and the Holder shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (ii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term of such indebtedness, and/or (iii) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by law. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other conflicting provision of all agreements between the Company and the Holder. The Holder has been advised by the Company to seek the advice of an attorney and an accountant in connection with the issuance of this Note. The Company has had the opportunity to seek the advice of any attorney and accountant of the Company’s choice in connection with issuance of this Note.
10.8 Pari Passu Notes. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all interest hereon shall be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other Notes issued by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or pursuant to the terms of such Notes issued by the Company. In the event the Holder receives payments of principal or interest in excess of its pro rata share of the Company’s payments of principal or interest to the Holders of all of the Notes issued by the Company, then the Holder shall hold in trust all such excess payments for the benefit of the holders of the other Notes issued by the Company and shall pay such amounts held in trust to such other holders upon demand by such holders.
10.9 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to the Holder, upon any breach or default of the Company under this Note shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of the Holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default therefore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent, or approval of any kind or character on the part of the Majority Investors of any breach or default under this Note or any waiver on the part of the Majority Investors of any provisions or conditions of this Note must be made in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Note or by law or otherwise afforded to the Investors, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
10.10 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the paragraphs and subparagraphs of this Note are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Note.
10.11 Construction. The language used in this Note will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
-9-
10.12 Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles.
