AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 7, 2012 (the “Signing Date”), between Westinghouse Solar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on the one hand, and CBD Energy Limited, an Australian corporation (the “Parent”), and CBD-WS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub” and, collectively with the Parent, the “Buyer Entities”; the Buyer Entities and the Company, collectively, the “Parties”), on the other hand.

A. Merger Sub was formed in order to implement the Merger (as defined below) as a direct subsidiary of the Parent.

B. The Board of the Company, acting upon the recommendation of the special committee of the Board of the Company that was formed for the purpose of evaluating the Transactions, has (1) approved this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), upon and subject to the terms hereof and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and (2) determined that the Merger, this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, including the Merger, the “Transactions”) are in the best interests of the Company and of its stockholders.

C. The respective Boards of the Parent and Merger Sub have (1) each approved this Agreement and the Merger, upon and subject to the terms hereof and in accordance with the DGCL, and (2) determined that the Transactions are in the best interests of each of the Parent and Merger Sub and of their respective stockholders.

D. In order to induce the Parent to enter into this Agreement, each Signing Date Consenting Stockholder is contemporaneously entering into a Waiver Agreement.

The Parties therefore hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, the separate existence of Merger Sub will thereby cease, and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

(b) The Merger will have the effect as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the Merger, all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub will vest in the Surviving Corporation and all of the obligations, duties, debts, and liabilities of the Company and Merger Sub will be the obligations, duties, debts, and liabilities of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.2 Effective Time.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company and the Parent shall jointly prepare and shall cause to be filed a certificate of merger substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”) as provided in the DGCL. The Merger will become effective on the date and at the time when the Certificate of Merger has been accepted for filing by the Secretary of State or, subject to the DGCL, such other time as is agreed upon by the Parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger (such time, the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.3 Closing.

Unless this Agreement is terminated and the Transactions abandoned pursuant to Section 8.1, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., local time, on a date to be specified by the Parties, which must be no later than the second Business Day after satisfaction or waiver (by the Party entitled to waive the condition) of all of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7 (except for those conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Reed Smith LLP, 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022, unless the Parties agree to another time, date, or place.

Section 1.4 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws

. Pursuant to the Merger: (a) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, will become the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law, and (b) the Bylaws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

Section 1.5 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation; Directors of Parent.

(a) Directors. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time will, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(b) Officers. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time will, from and after the Effective Time, be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

Section 1.6 Parent Board.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent shall take all necessary corporate action such that, upon the occurrence of the Effective Time, the Company Designated Directors are appointed as directors to serve on the Parent Board until the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Parent Common Share Holders, subject to those persons having provided a consent to act as directors of Parent.

(b) Prior to the initial filing of the F-4, the Company shall provide written Notice to the Parent designating two individuals who will serve as the Company Designated Directors.

ARTICLE 2

EFFECT ON SECURITIES

Section 2.1 Company Capital Stock.

(a) Effect on Company Common Stock.

(i) At the Effective Time, subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE 2 and Section 3.1, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) will, by virtue hereof and without any action on the part of the Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive (A) a number of Parent Common Shares equal to the Base Exchange Number, plus (B) if at the Effective Time the Closing Parent Per Share Price is less than A$0.07, then an additional number of Parent Common Shares equal to the Additional Exchange Number.

(ii) Immediately prior to and after the Effective Time, (A) all restrictions on each share of restricted Company Common Stock then outstanding, including those issued under the Company Stock Plans (each, a “Company Restricted Share”), will, by virtue hereof and without any action on the part of the Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or the holder thereof, lapse (other than restrictions pertaining to compliance with securities laws) and (B) each Company Restricted Share will thereby be deemed to be a fully vested share of Company Common Stock, without such restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall take all corporate action necessary to effectuate this Section 2.1(a)(ii). Each Company Restricted Share, regardless of whether it is vested or unvested and regardless of whether the restrictions have lapsed, will be included (on a one-for-one basis) in the number of Base Company Shares as of the Effective Time.

(iii) No Parent Common Shares will be issued in respect of any shares of Company Common Stock that are held directly or indirectly by the Parent at the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 2.1(a)(iii) will operate to increase or otherwise effect the number of shares of Parent Common Shares that are to be issued in respect of shares of Company Common Stock that are not held directly or indirectly by the Parent at the Effective Time.

(b) Effect on Company Series B Preferred Stock. At the Effective Time, subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE 2 and Section 3.1, each share of Company Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue hereof and without any action on the part of the Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive one Parent Series A Preferred Share. The terms of the Parent Series A Preferred Shares as set forth in Exhibit E, which, when filed with the ASX, will reflect a Stated Value (as to be defined in the terms of the Parent Series A Preferred Shares) of $900 per Parent Series A Preferred Share and a Conversion Price (as to be defined in the terms of the Parent Series A Preferred Shares) equal to the Series B Effective Time Conversion Price divided by the Base Exchange Number. The Parent shall file the terms of the Parent Series A Preferred Shares with the ASX as of or prior to the Effective Time.

(c) No Further Rights. All of the shares of Company Capital Stock converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to this ARTICLE 2 automatically will no longer be outstanding, will be cancelled, and will cease to exist. Each holder of (x) a certificate (each a “Certificate”) previously representing any such shares of Company Common Stock or Company Series B Preferred Stock or (y) non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock or Company Series B Preferred Stock represented by book entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) will thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock or Company Series B Preferred Stock, except, to the extent provided herein, the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 2.2 Effect on Company Options and Company Warrants.

Unless exercised, cancelled, exchanged, or terminated pursuant to a Company Option Contract, any Company Option outstanding at the Effective Time will remain outstanding immediately after the Effective Time, unless and until exercised, cancelled, exchanged, or terminated. Unless exercised, cancelled, exchanged, or terminated pursuant to a Warrant Contract, any Warrant outstanding at the Effective Time will remain outstanding immediately after the Effective Time, unless and until exercised, cancelled, exchanged, or terminated in accordance with its terms.

Section 2.3 Effect on Merger Sub Stock.

At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub then issued and outstanding will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or the holder thereof, be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE 3

MERGER CONSIDERATION

Section 3.1 Provision of Merger Consideration.

(a) Parent Obligations.

(i) Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent shall enter into an exchange agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agreement”), with the Exchange Agent to act as agent for the facilitation of the surrender or transfer of Certificate or Book-Entry Shares formerly representing shares of Company Capital Stock and otherwise to comply with the procedures set forth in this ARTICLE 3.

(ii) At the Effective Time and based on the shareholder registry records of the Company and its transfer agent, as provided by the Company to the Parent:

(1) the Parent shall issue and allot to each Record Holder such number of Parent Common Shares, Parent Series A Preferred Shares, or both, as applicable, as that Record Holder is entitled to receive (either directly or based upon the number of Parent Common Shares to which each Holder on behalf of which such Record Holder holds Company Capital Stock is entitled to receive, as the case might be) as part of the Merger Consideration under ARTICLE 2 and this ARTICLE 3; and

(2) the Parent shall enter into the register of members of the Parent the name and address of each Record Holder in respect of the aggregate number of Parent Common Shares, Parent Series A Preferred Shares, or both, as applicable, issued to such Record Holder under Section 3.1(a)(ii)(1).

(iii) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, the Parent shall mail to each Record Holder a holding statement setting forth the aggregate number of Parent Shares issued to such Record Holder under Section 3.1(a)(ii).

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Promptly after the Effective Time, and in any event not later than the second Business Day following the Effective Time, the Parent shall direct the Exchange Agent, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share formerly representing shares of Company Capital Stock: (1) a letter of transmittal (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”), which must (A) specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to such shares will pass, only upon proper delivery or transfer of such shares to the Exchange Agent and (B) be in customary form and subject to the reasonable approval of the Company prior to the Effective Time; and (2) instructions for effecting the surrender or transfer of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share.

(ii) Upon (1) in the case of Company Capital Stock represented by a Certificate, surrender of such Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section 3.1(b), together with the return of the applicable Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as might be required pursuant to the instructions set forth in such Letter of Transmittal or (2) in the case of Company Capital Stock represented as a Book-Entry Share, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent might reasonably request), and such other documents as might be required pursuant to the instructions set forth in the applicable Letter of Transmittal, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as the case might be, will thereby be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (x) one or more Parent Common Shares representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of Parent Common Shares, if any, that such Holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (after taking into account all shares of Company Capital Stock then held by such holder), (y) one or more Parent Series A Preferred Shares representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of Parent Preferred Shares, if any, that such Holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (after taking into account all shares of Company Capital Stock then held by such holder).

(iii) Promptly after receipt or notification by the Exchange Agent of the surrender or transfer in accordance with Section 3.1(b)(ii), the Exchange Agent will notify the Parent and the Parent shall then send or procure the dispatch to each Holder, by pre-paid post to his or her address recorded with the Company at the Effective Time, a holding statement or notice confirming the issue of Parent Common Shares (and, if applicable, Parent Series A Preferred Shares) to that Holder representing the total number of Parent Common Shares (and, if applicable, Parent Series A Preferred Shares) to be issued to that Holder in accordance with ARTICLE 2 and this ARTICLE 3.

(iv) No interest will be paid or accrue on any Merger Consideration that is payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(v) If there is a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Capital Stock prior to the Effective Time that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, then the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Company Capital Stock is to be issued or paid to the applicable transferee if (1) the Certificate representing such shares of Company Capital Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer, and (2) the Person requesting such exchange pays to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the delivery of the Merger Consideration in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason, or establishes to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(vi) Until surrendered or, in the case of any Book-Entry Share, transferred, as contemplated by this Section 3.1(b), each Certificate or Book-Entry Share will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender or transfer the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share.

(i) Parent Common Shares issued to Holders will be validly issued and will rank equally in all respects with existing Parent Common Shares.

(ii) On issue, each Parent Share issued to the Holders will be fully paid and free from any mortgage, charge, lien, encumbrance, or other security interest.

(d) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Parent Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Shares with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any Certificate that has not been properly surrendered or Book-Entry Share that has not been properly transferred with respect to the Parent Shares that such holder would be entitled to receive upon proper surrender of such Certificate or transfer of such Book-Entry Share; except that, following the surrender of any such Certificate or transfer of any such Book-Entry Share, the Parent shall pay to such holder of Parent Shares issuable in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Parent Shares, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender or transfer and a payment date subsequent to such surrender or transfer payable with respect to such Parent Shares. For purposes of dividends or other distributions in respect of Parent Shares, all Parent Shares to be issued pursuant to the Merger will be entitled to dividends or other distributions pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as if such Parent Shares were issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time.

(e) No Further Rights in Company Capital Stock. The Merger Consideration issued upon conversion of a share of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof will be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such share of Company Capital Stock.

(f) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip of Parent Shares, as the case might be, representing fractional Parent Shares or book-entry credit of the same will be issued; in lieu thereof, the Parent shall issue one Parent Share to the Holder that would otherwise be entitled to such fractional Parent Share.

(g) Reserved.

(h) No Liability. None of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent, or any other Person will be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Capital Stock for any Parent Common Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or Parent Series A Preferred Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect hereto) delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate is lost, stolen, or destroyed (any such Certificate, a “Lost Certificate”) and the Person claiming such Lost Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed signs and delivers to the Exchange Agent an affidavit of that fact and, if required by the Parent, such Person posts a bond (in such reasonable amount as Parent directs) as indemnity against any claim that might be made against the Exchange Agent, the Parent, or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Lost Certificate, then the Exchange Agent will so notify the Parent, and the Parent will issue, in exchange for such Lost Certificate, the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such Lost Certificate without any interest thereon.

(j) Withholding. Each of the Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and the Exchange Agent are entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant hereto to any Holder such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under any provision of any Law relating to Taxes with respect to the making of such payment or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including Section 2.1(a)(ii). Such withheld amounts are to be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to such Holder.

Section 3.2 Stock Transfer Books.

The Company shall cause the Company’s stock transfer books to be closed as of the Effective Time and thereafter there are to be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock theretofore outstanding on the Company’s records. At and after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or the Parent for any reason are to be converted into the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Certificates without any interest thereon.

(c) The Company (and, where applicable, the Parent) shall comply, and the Company shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to comply, with the following:

(i) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall operate the Company Business in accordance with an interim operating plan set forth in Exhibit C (the “Operating Plan”).

(ii) (1) The Parent shall appoint and designate one of the Parent’s executive or managing employees as the liaison officer of Parent to oversee and assist in the management of the business of the Company during the Pre-Closing Period (the “Parent Liaison Officer”), with powers and authority as set forth herein. The Parent hereby appoints and designates Carlo Botto as the initial Parent Liaison Officer. The Parent is permitted to remove and replace the Parent Liaison Officer at its discretion, upon five days’ advance written notice to the Company Board (or a designated Company Board Committee). The Parent will use its Reasonable Best Efforts to ensure that a Parent Liaison Officer is designated continuously during the Pre-Closing Period.

(2) If the Company Board in good faith determines that the Company Board has a material issue with the Parent Liaison Officer, then, after the Company has attempted to resolve such material issue in good faith with the Parent Liaison Officer, the Company Board may send written notice to the Parent’s Managing Director requesting to discuss the material issue related to the Parent Liaison Officer with the Parent’s Managing Director. If, after the Company has attempted to resolve such material issue as described in the immediately foregoing sentence, the Company Board provides such written notice to the Parent’s Managing Director and sends a copy of such notice contemporaneously to James Greer (which the Company Board is permitted to provide to James Greer via email at james.greer@me.com), then a representative of the Parent (other than the Parent Liaison Officer) will acknowledge the receipt of such written notice within a reasonable time frame and respond as the Parent determines, in its sole discretion, is appropriate. The Company acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: (A) neither the failure of such representative of the Parent to acknowledge such receipt nor the failure to so respond will entitle the Company to terminate this Agreement; and (B) neither the failure of such representative of the Parent to acknowledge such receipt nor the failure to so respond will entitle the Company to not consummate the Transactions.

(iii) The Parent Liaison Officer will be available at all reasonable times to communicate, confer and work directly with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and with other Company employees as appropriate and as directed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the Parent Liaison Officer will also communicate directly with and respond to communications and requests from the Company Board (or a designated Company Board Committee) with regard to the management and operations of the Company and the Transactions. For avoidance of doubt, any action taken (or not taken) by the Company with the express authorization of the Parent Liaison Officer (which the Parent Liaison Officer may provide by email) will be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 6.1.

(iv) No later than 10 days after the end of each calendar month, the Company shall provide a monthly report, in such form and including such information as is mutually determined by the Parent Liaison Officer and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to demonstrate the Company’s compliance with the Operating Plan.

(v) Without limiting the Company’s obligations under Section 6.15, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to timely comply with all applicable filing and other requirements of the SEC and Nasdaq.

(vi) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company, with the cooperation and support of the Parent, will use its Reasonable Best Efforts to seek and raise sufficient equity capital or other financing (whether through offerings by the Company or by means of capital funding support provided to the Company by the Parent to the extent provided in the immediately following sentence, or any combination thereof) to meet the Company’s liquidity and working capital requirements, and, to the extent the Parent determines is necessary, to maintain the required minimum capitalization to retain the Company’s listing on Nasdaq, all on terms that the Parent determines are appropriate, in its reasonable discretion. Provided that the Company is operating the Company Business in accordance with the Operating Plan and has performed and complied in all material respects with all of the Company’s obligations in this Agreement, including this ARTICLE 6, until the earlier of the (a) Effective Time and (b) the Outside Date, the Parent will provide or cause to be provided sufficient equity capital or other financing to the Company to permit the Company to satisfy (i) the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.1(c) (unless such compliance is waived by the Parent pursuant to this Section 6.1); and (ii) those obligations and liabilities incurred by the Company (A) after the Signing Date (to the extent permitted under Section 6.1(b) and this Section 6.1(c)); and (B) prior to the Signing Date but affirmed by the Parent pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or this Section 6.1(c). For avoidance of doubt, any shares of Company Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) will not affect or be included in the Base Company Shares.

(vii) The Company’s obligations under Section 6.1(a) and 6.1(b) are subject to this Section 6.1(c) (which will control to the extent that there is any conflict between Section 6.1(a) or 6.1(b) (or both) and this Section 6.1(c)).

(d) For avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the Company’s obligations under Section 6.1(a) and 6.1(b), the terms of the Operating Plan and the provisions of Section 6.1(c), the business and affairs of the Company shall remain under the direction of the Company Board (or a designated Company Board Committee). Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1(b), in the event that the Company Board (or a designated Company Board Committee) determines that it is necessary in order to exercise and comply with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law and preserve the continued viability of the Company, then the Company is permitted to issue and sell shares of capital stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock) without the consent of the Parent. In the event that any shares of capital stock of the Company are issued or issuable in reliance on this Section 6.1(d), and without the approval of the Parent contemplated by Section 6.1(c), then the number of shares of Company Common Stock included in the Base Company Shares will be increased by the number of the additional shares of capital stock of the Company so issued or issuable (on a fully-diluted basis).

Section 6.2 Acquisition Proposals.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 6.2(a) and in Section 6.2(d), the Company shall not (and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to not), and shall take such reasonable actions to cause (and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to take such reasonable actions to cause) each Company Entity’s officers, directors, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, agents, and other representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) not to, (i) directly or indirectly initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage, or facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any inquiries with respect to, or the making or submission of, any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, furnish any non-public information or data relating to any Company Entity or any Company Asset to, or provide access to the properties, books or records of any Company Entity to, any Person that has made an Acquisition Proposal or in contemplation of an Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing sentence, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote, the Company and the Company’s Board are permitted to take any actions described in clause (ii) of this Section 6.2(a) with respect to a third party if (w) the Company has received a written Acquisition Proposal from such third party (and such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 6.2(a), whether by any Company Entity or any Representative (as if all Company Entities and Representatives were bound by this Section 6.2(a))), (x) the Company gives the Parent the notice required by Section 6.2(e), (y) after receiving the advice of its financial advisors, the Company’s Board determines in good faith that such proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal, and (z) the Company’s Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to participate in such negotiations or discussions or to furnish such information or data to such third party is likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law; except that (1) the Company shall not deliver any non-public information to such third party without first entering into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (any such confidentiality agreement with such third party, an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) and (2) subject to applicable Law, the Company shall make available to the Parent any non-public information concerning any Company Entity that is made available to any other Person or group in connection with any actual or potential Acquisition Proposal that was not previously made available to the Parent, contemporaneously with the delivery of such information to (or as promptly as practicable after such information is delivered to) such Person. Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 will prohibit the Company or the Company’s Board from taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Rule 14d-9 or 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any similar disclosure, in either case to the extent required by applicable Law, including the Company Board’s fiduciary duties; except that compliance with such rules will not permit the Company to make an Adverse Recommendation Change other than in accordance with Section 6.2(d).

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.2(d) and in Section 6.2(g), each of the Company, the Company’s Board, and each Company Board Committee shall not (i) withdraw or withhold (or amend or modify in a manner adverse to any Buyer Entity), or publicly propose to withdraw or withhold (or amend or modify in a manner adverse to any Buyer Entity), the approval, recommendation, or declaration of advisability by the Company’s Board or any Company Board Committee of this Agreement, the Merger, or any Transactions, (ii) recommend, adopt, or approve, or propose publicly to recommend, adopt, or approve, any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in the immediately foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(c) Except as provided in Section 6.2(d), the Company shall not (and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to not), and shall take reasonable actions to cause (and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to take reasonable actions to cause) each Company Entity’s Representatives not to, execute or enter into any Contract (including any merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement), or any letter of intent, term sheet, memorandum of understanding, or agreement in principle, (i) relating to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in circumstances contemplated in the penultimate sentence of Section 6.2(a)), or (ii) requiring the Company to abandon, terminate, or fail to consummate the Merger or any of the Transactions.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing set forth in this Section 6.2, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote, and subject to the Company’s compliance at all times with the provisions of this Section 6.2 and Section 6.4(a), with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company’s Board is permitted to make an Adverse Recommendation Change if (i) a written Acquisition Proposal (that did not result from a breach of Section 6.2(a), whether by any Company Entity or any Representative (as if all Company Entities and Representatives were bound by this Section 6.2(d))) is made to the Company by a third party, and such Acquisition Proposal is not withdrawn, (ii) the Company’s Board determines in good faith after consultation with its legal and financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, (iii) the Company’s Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such an Adverse Recommendation Change is likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (iv) subject to compliance with applicable Law, the Company provides the Parent three Business Days’ prior written notice of the Company’s intention to make an Adverse Recommendation Change because of such Acquisition Proposal (such notice, a “Notice of Acquisition Proposal”), it being understood that a Notice of Acquisition Proposal does not in itself institute an Adverse Recommendation Change for purposes hereof, which notice must include the information with respect to such Acquisition Proposal that is specified in Section 6.2(e); except that, if there are any material revisions to the Acquisition Proposal (relative to the terms of the Acquisition Proposal as set forth in the Notice of Acquisition Proposal as provided to the Parent), then the Company must provide to the Parent a new Notice of Acquisition Proposal and, if the Company has not made an Adverse Recommendation Change, and subject to compliance with applicable Law, an additional three Business Days following the provision of such new Notice of Acquisition Proposal, and (v) at the end of the three-Business Day period described in the immediately foregoing clause (iv) (including any extension of such period required thereunder), the Company Board again makes the determination in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors (and taking into account any adjustment or modification of the terms hereof that the Parent proposes) that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change is likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If the Parent proposes to the Company any adjustment or modification of the terms hereof in response to a Notice of Acquisition Proposal, and such proposed adjustment or modification, if implemented, would reverse the determination of the Company Board that the Acquisition Proposal constituted a Superior Proposal, then the Company and Parent shall negotiate in good faith with the Parent to implement such adjustment or modification to the terms hereof and, upon implementation of such adjustment or modification, the Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change (or, if already made, will reinstate its recommendation in favor of the Merger and this Agreement, as so adjusted or modified).

(e) As promptly as practicable after receipt thereof (but in any event within 24 hours after the Company’s receipt thereof), the Company shall (i) advise Parent in writing of any request for non-public information or any Acquisition Proposal received from any Person, or any inquiry, discussions, or negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and the material terms of such request, Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, discussions, or negotiations, and (ii) promptly provide to Parent a detailed, written summary of all of the material terms, provisions, and other information set forth in any materials (including any draft agreements) that the Company receives in connection with any Acquisition Proposal (or, at the Company’s election, a copy thereof) and the identity of the Person or group making any such request, Acquisition Proposal, or inquiry or with whom any discussions or negotiations are taking place. The Company shall keep the Parent reasonably informed of the status of any Acquisition Proposals (including disclosing to the Parent the identity of the parties, the price involved, and any material changes to any terms thereof and providing to the Parent detailed, written summaries of all of the material terms, provisions, or other information set forth in any amended or additional documents received from or provided to any Person with respect to such Acquisition Proposal). The Company shall not release any third party from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which the Company is a party and shall use its reasonable efforts to enforce any such agreement at the request of or on behalf of the Parent.

(f) Immediately after the execution and delivery hereof, the Company shall (and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to) instruct the Representatives to cease and terminate any existing activities, discussions, or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any possible Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall (i) take the necessary steps to promptly inform the Representatives involved in the Transactions of the obligations undertaken in Section 6.2(a) and (ii) request each Person who has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with such Person’s consideration of acquiring the Company or any portion thereof to return or destroy (and certify such destruction in writing by an executive officer of such Person) all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on its behalf.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement will prohibit or restrict the Company’s Board from effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change not involving or relating to an Acquisition Proposal in response to a material adverse development or change in circumstances with respect to the Parent Business occurring or arising after the Signing Date, if (i) the Company’s Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that not making such Adverse Recommendation Change is likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law (ii) subject to compliance with applicable Law, the Company provides the Parent three Business Days’ prior written notice of the Company’s intention to make public an Adverse Recommendation Change because of such material development or change in circumstances (such notice, a “Notice of Material Development”); and that it is considering such a recommendation change and summarizing in reasonable detail the reasons therefor; and (iii) at the end of the three-Business Day period described in the immediately foregoing clause (ii), the Company Board again makes the determination in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors (and taking into account any adjustment or modification of the terms hereof that the Parent proposes in writing) that failure to make such an Adverse Recommendation Change is likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If the Parent proposes to the Company any adjustment or modification of the terms hereof in response to a Notice of Material Development, and such proposed adjustment or modification, if implemented, would reverse the determination of the Company Board that it make an Adverse Recommendation Change, then the Company and Parent shall negotiate in good faith (during a period not exceeding three Business days, unless otherwise mutually agreed) with respect to such adjustment or modification to the terms hereof and, upon implementation of such adjustment or modification, the Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change (or, if already made, will reinstate its recommendation in favor of the Merger and this Agreement, as so adjusted or modified).

Section 6.3 Access to Information and Properties.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, each of the Company and Parent (as the case might be, the “Permitting Party”) shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the authorized representatives of the other Party (such other Party, the “Accessing Party”), including officers, employees, accountants, counsel, and other representatives of the Accessing Party, at the Accessing Party’s sole expense, reasonable access, during normal business hours during the Pre-Closing Period, to all of the Permitting Party’s properties (including owned or leased real property), Contracts, books, records, data, and personnel and, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Permitting Party shall, and shall cause Permitting Party’s Subsidiaries to, make available to the Accessing Party all information concerning the Permitting Party’s business, properties, and personnel as the Accessing Party might reasonably request. Each Accessing Party shall not access and shall not review the foregoing information in a manner that interferes unreasonably with the operations of the Permitting Party or the Permitting Party’s Subsidiaries or that unreasonably interferes with the prompt discharge by the Permitting Party’s employees of their duties. Representatives of the Accessing Party (including, in the case of Parent, the Parent Liaison Officer), when visiting the premises of the Permitting Party, will at all times conduct themselves in accordance with applicable local law and the reasonable policies and procedures of the Permitting Party.

(b) Each of the Company and the Parent (as the case might be, the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and the other Party’s Subsidiaries (such other Party and such other Party’s Subsidiaries, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from any and all Claims and Liabilities, including costs and expenses for the injury to or death of any of the Indemnified Party’s representatives and any loss or destruction of any property (including Claims or Liabilities for use of any property) resulting directly or indirectly from the action or inaction of any of the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnifying Party’s Subsidiaries, or their respective representatives, as applicable, during any visit to the business or property of the Indemnifying Party prior to the completion of the Merger (whether pursuant to Section 6.3(a) or otherwise), other than any such Claims and Liabilities arising out of or resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of the representatives of the Indemnified Party or the Indemnified Party’s Subsidiaries. Each Indemnified Party is hereby made a third-party beneficiary of the rights that would be afforded under this Section 6.3(b) to such Indemnified Party as if such Indemnified Party were an original signatory hereto for such purposes (and only for such purposes).

(c) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, at the request of the Parent or the Parent’s representatives, (i) request such Company Entity’s customers, suppliers, lenders, and other creditors to be available to meet with the Parent and the Parent’s representatives and (ii) cooperate with the Parent and the Parent’s representatives in connection with such meetings and use Reasonable Best Efforts to facilitate such meetings.

(d) A Party will not be required to provide access to or to disclose information (and will not be required to cause such Party’s Subsidiaries to provide access to or to disclose information) if such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of such Party’s customers, jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, or contravene any Law or any binding Contract entered into prior to the Signing Date. If such a circumstance arises, then the Company and the Parent shall make reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(e) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall grant the Parent Liaison Officer full access to the Company headquarters’ offices, and any other real property that any Company Entity leases as the Parent Liaison Officer reasonably requests, and all Company books, records, and personnel during normal business hours, and shall permit the Parent to host authorized Parent representatives at the Company headquarters’ offices, including engineers, advisors and consultants, and lenders and financing sources, at the Parent’s sole risk and expense (subject to Section 6.3(b)) and without unreasonably disrupting Company operations, in order to investigate and assess the management of any Company Entity, as Parent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate (a “Parent Investigation”). The Company shall (and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to) cooperate with the Parent in conducting any such Parent Investigation and, (ii) allow Parent full access to the Company Entities’ respective businesses, the Company Real Property, and the Company Assets.

(f) The information obtained by any Party or such Party’s representatives pursuant to this Section 6.3 is subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3, the extent to which any such representative is entitled to Confidential Information is governed by the Confidentiality Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.3 to the contrary, (i) no Party is obligated under Section 6.3 to disclose to any other Party or such other Party’s representatives, or grant such other Party or such other Party’s representatives access to, information that is within the possession or control of such first Party or such first Party’s Subsidiaries but that is not permitted to be disclosed to such other Party or such other Party’s representative pursuant to a binding confidentiality agreement with a third party without first obtaining the consent of such third party, and such other Party, to the extent requested by such first Party, shall use such other Party’s Reasonable Best Efforts to obtain any such consent.

(h) No investigation by any Party or such Party’s representatives will (or will be deemed to) modify or constitute a waiver of any of the terms hereof (including any representation, warranty, obligation, acknowledgment, or condition hereunder).

Section 6.4 Further Action; Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms hereof, each Party shall use such Party’s Reasonable Best Efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including using Reasonable Best Efforts to satisfy the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7, to obtain, give, or make all necessary Consents, and to effect all necessary registrations and filings.

(c) Subject to the terms hereof, each Party shall use such Party’s Reasonable Best Efforts to prevent the entry of, and to cause to be discharged, vacated, or terminated, any order, decree, ruling, or injunction precluding, restraining, enjoining, delaying, or prohibiting consummation of the Merger. If any Governmental Entity issues any such order, decree, ruling, or injunction, or takes any other action that would have the effect of precluding, restraining, enjoining, delaying, or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions, then, subject to the terms hereof, each Party shall use such Party’s Reasonable Best Efforts to have such order, decree, ruling, or injunction or other action declared ineffective as soon as practicable.

(d) Each Party shall (i) give each other Party reasonable advance notice of all meetings with any Governmental Entity relating to the Merger, (ii) give each other Party (or such other Party’s outside counsel) an opportunity to participate in each of such meetings, (iii) provide each other Party with a reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon all written communications (including any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions, and proposals) to or with a Governmental Entity relating to the Merger, and (iv) promptly provide each other Party with copies of all written communications to or from any Governmental Entity relating to the Merger.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4, no Buyer Entity is hereby required to divest or hold separate or in trust (or submit to the imposition of any other conditions or restriction with respect to) any assets or operations of such Buyer Entity or any of such Buyer Entity’s Affiliates or of any Company Entity.

Each Party shall use such Party’s Reasonable Best Efforts to furnish the information required to be included by the SEC in any SEC Transaction Document. Each Party shall give the other Parties and their respective counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the SEC Transaction Documents, including all amendments and supplements thereto, prior to such SEC Transaction Documents being filed with the SEC or disseminated to Company Capital Stock Holders, and shall also give the other Parties and such counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all responses to requests for additional information and comments received from the SEC prior to revisions to such SEC Transaction Documents being filed with, or sent to, the SEC. Each Party shall use such Party’s Reasonable Best Efforts to cause the F-4 to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, and the Company shall as promptly as practicable after the F-4 is declared effective mail the Proxy Statement to the Company Capital Stock Holders.

(b) If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any Party discovers any event or circumstance relating to any Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates, or any of such Party’s or such Affiliate’s officers or directors, that should be set forth in an amendment to the F-4 or a supplement to the Proxy Statement or other SEC Transaction Document, such Party shall promptly inform the other Parties thereof in writing, and the Parties shall cooperate in preparing and filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC, shall use their respective Reasonable Best Efforts to cause such amendment or supplement to become effective (if applicable) as promptly as possible, and, if necessary, shall mail such amendment or supplement to the Company Capital Stock Holders.

The execution and delivery by the Stockholder of this Agreement does not and will not (in each case, whether with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both), the performance by the Stockholder of the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder does not and will not, and the consummation of this Agreement does not and will not (in each case, whether with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both) (i) contravene or conflict with any of the Stockholder’s Organizational Documents; (ii) to the Stockholder’s knowledge, contravene, conflict with, or constitute a violation of any provision of any applicable Law applicable to the Stockholder or give any Governmental Entity or other Person the right to challenge this Agreement or to exercise any remedy under, obtain any relief under, or revoke or modify any rights held under such applicable Law; (iii) to the Stockholder’s knowledge, violate, conflict with, result in breach of, constitute a default under, an event of default under, or an event giving rise to (or otherwise give rise to) any right of termination, cancellation, modification, or acceleration, create in any Person the right to impose (or otherwise result in the imposition of) any obligation on or the loss of any material right or material benefit of the Stockholder, or require any Consent under any law, from any Governmental Entity, or under any Contract (A) to which the Stockholder is a party, (B) of which the Stockholder is a beneficiary, or (C) by which the Stockholder is bound; or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the Subject Securities (except as contemplated hereby). Other than the Contracts set forth in Schedule 2.1(c) (collectively, the “Listed Contracts”) and this Agreement, the Stockholder is not a party to any Contract with the Company. Schedule 2.1(c) expressly sets forth each amendment to each Listed Contract (if any).

(d)	The Subject Securities.

(i)	As of the Signing Date, the Stockholder directly owns, is the record and beneficial owner of, and has the sole right to vote and dispose of the following:

(1)	[_________] shares of Company Series B Preferred Stock;

(2)	the following Warrants:

a.	[one or more Series E Warrants, issued on March 2, 2009 (such series of Warrant, “Series E Warrants”), to purchase an aggregate of [_________] shares of Company Common Stock;]

(ii)

Other than Company Common Stock and the Company Securities set forth in Section 2.1(d)(i), the Stockholder does not directly or indirectly own, is not the record or beneficial owner of, and does not have the right to vote or dispose of, any Company Securities. The Stockholder owns all of the Subject Securities (including, as of the Signing Date, the Securities set forth in Section 2.1(d)(i)), free and clear of any Liens, except for any Liens that arise as a result hereof and restrictions on transfer of such Securities that might exist under applicable securities Laws.

(iii)

Except for the Merger Agreement or as set forth in the COD, (A) there are no Contracts requiring the Stockholder to Transfer, or cause to be Transferred, any Subject Security and (B) no Person has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any Subject Security.

(iv)	Neither the Stockholder nor any of the Stockholder’s Affiliates are a party to, or otherwise subject to, any Derivative Transaction with respect to any Company Security.

(e)	Representations and Acknowledgments with respect to Acquired Securities.

(i)

Understandings or Arrangements. The Stockholder understands that the Acquired Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities Laws. The Stockholder is acquiring the Acquired Securities as principal for the Stockholder’s own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling any Acquired Security or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities Laws, has no present intention of distributing any Acquired Security in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities Laws, and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other Person to distribute or regarding the distribution of any Acquired Security in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities Laws (this representation and warranty not limiting the Stockholder’s right to sell the Acquired Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement or otherwise in compliance with all applicable securities Laws).

(ii)

Stockholder Status. At the time the Stockholder was offered the Acquired Securities, the Stockholder was, and as of the date hereof the Stockholder is, and on each date on which the Stockholder exercises or converts any Acquired Securities the Stockholder will be either: (A) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (B) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. The Stockholder is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

(iii)

Experience of the Stockholder. The Stockholder, either alone or together with the Stockholder’s representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication, and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Acquired Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Stockholder is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Acquired Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(iv)

General Solicitation. The Stockholder is not acquiring the Acquired Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice, or other communication regarding the Acquired Securities published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or as a result of any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

(v)

Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Stockholder has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Stockholder, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales (including any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (but excluding the location and/or reservation of borrowable Parent Common Shares) (such sales, “Short Sales”)) of any Securities in the Parent during the period commencing as of the time that the Stockholder first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Parent or any other Person representing the Parent setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stockholder is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Stockholder’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Stockholder’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Acquired Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement and other than to the advisors, attorneys, consultants, and employees of any Party (but only if such individuals are bound to keep such disclosures confidential), the Stockholder has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including the existence and terms of such transactions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 2.1(e)(v) will constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

(vi)

Need for additional financing. The Stockholder understands that it is likely that the Parent will need to obtain additional financing following consummation of this Agreement and the Merger in order to fully execute its current business plan and objectives. Such financing could be in the form of a sale or sales of equity or debt or equipment lease financing or a combination of the foregoing. Such financing could lead to material dilution to the Parent’s then existing equity holders and could provide for terms that restrict the operations of the Parent. There can be no assurance that any additional financing following the consummation of this Agreement or the Merger will be available to the Parent on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If the Parent is unable to obtain additional financing, then the Parent might not be able to fully execute the Parent’s business plan and objectives and could be forced to curtail some or all of its operations.

(vii)

Risk of Loss in Investment. The Stockholder understands and recognizes that the acquisition of the Acquired Securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk and that only investors that can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Parent.

(viii)

Illiquidity. The Stockholder understands that the Stockholder might never be able to liquidate the Stockholder’s investment in the Parent and that, although the Parent has undertaken to register under the Securities Act the Underlying Parent Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, there can be no assurance that such registration will ever be effective or remain effective, or that there will be any liquidity with respect to the sale of the Underlying Parent Shares, if and when registered. The Stockholder represents that the Stockholder has sufficient liquid assets so that the illiquidity associated with the Stockholder’s investment will not cause any undue financial difficulties or affect the Stockholder’s ability to provide for the Stockholder’s current needs and possible financial contingencies, and that the Stockholder’s commitment to all high-risk investments (including the Stockholder’s investment in the Acquired Securities) is reasonable in relation to the Stockholder’s net worth, annual income, or both.

(ix)	Principal Address. The address of the Stockholder set forth in Section 17.4 is the Stockholder’s principal business address.

(x)

Non-US Persons. If the Stockholder is not a United States person, then the Stockholder has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the Laws of the Stockholder’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to acquire the Acquired Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (A) the legal requirements within the Stockholder’s jurisdiction for the acquisition of the Acquired Securities, (B) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such acquisition, (C) any governmental or other consents that might need to be obtained, and (D) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that might be relevant to the acquisition, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Acquired Securities. The Stockholder’s acquisition of, and the Stockholder’s continued beneficial ownership of, the Acquired Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other Laws of the Stockholder’s jurisdiction.

(xi)

Transfers to Persons in Australia. The Stockholder agrees and acknowledges that the issue of the Acquired Securities is made without disclosure under the Corporations Act and that the Acquired Securities, if transferred to Persons in Australia, may only be transferred to such Persons who fall within section 708(8) (Sophisticated Investors) or section 708(11) (Professional Investors) of the Corporations Act.

(xii)

No Required Prospectus Upon Conversion or Exercise. Except to the extent provided in the Registration Rights Agreement or required by any securities exchange in Australia, in no circumstances will the Parent be required to prepare and/or lodge a prospectus, offering circular, or similar disclosure document with any regulator or securities exchange upon the conversion or exercise of any Acquired Securities.

Each of the Parent and the Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 2.1(e) will not modify, amend, or affect the Stockholder’s right to rely on the Parent’s or the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

2.2

Survival. The representations, warranties, and acknowledgments in Section 2.1(e) will survive until the occurrence of the Effective Time, at which point they will terminate. The representations and warranties in Sections 2.1(a) through (d) will survive the occurrence of the Effective Time and will terminate upon the occurrence of the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date.

3.	Representations and Warranties of the Parent.

3.1

Incorporation by Reference. The representations and warranties that the Parent is making to the Company under Article 5 of the Merger Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis, such that the Parent makes such representations and warranties to the Stockholder (and such that references to the Merger Agreement are deemed to be references to this Agreement).

4.2	Survival. The representations and warranties incorporated by reference in Section 4.1 will survive until the occurrence of the Effective Time, at which point they will terminate.

No Transfers; No Liens. The Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, dispose of, offer, exchange, or assign (any of the foregoing, a “Transfer”) or place a Lien upon any Subject Security, and shall not enter into any Contract with respect to, and shall not consent to, a Transfer of or a Lien upon any Subject Security or any of the Stockholder’s voting or economic interests therein; except that the Stockholder is not prohibited pursuant to this Section 5 from Transferring a Subject Security to a Person if such Person first signs a Waiver and Agreement, substantially in the same form as this Agreement and reasonably satisfactory to the Parent, pursuant to which such Person (in such Person’s capacity as a holder of such Subject Security) (a) agrees to assume the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder, (b) makes analogous representations as those made hereunder by the Stockholder, (c) provides the same waivers and consents as the Stockholder hereunder, and (d) makes the same acknowledgments as those made by the Stockholder hereunder. Any attempted Transfer of any Subject Security or any interest therein, in each case that is in violation of this Section 5, will be void ab initio.

10.	Restriction on Transfer of Restricted Securities.

10.1

Conditions for Transfer. The Restricted Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with applicable securities Laws. In connection with any transfer of Restricted Securities (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, pursuant to Rule 144, transfers to the Parent or to an Affiliate of the Stockholder, or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 10.2), the Parent is permitted to require the transferor thereof to provide to the Parent an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Parent, and in a form and substance that is reasonably satisfactory to the Parent, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Restricted Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee must agree in writing to be bound by the terms hereof and the Registration Rights Agreement, and will have the rights and obligations of the Stockholder hereunder and under the Registration Rights Agreement.

10.2	Existence of Legends. The Stockholder agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 10, of a legend on any of the Restricted Securities in the following form:

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Stockholder is permitted to from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Restricted Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Stockholder is permitted to transfer any such Restricted Securities that have been pledged to the applicable pledgees. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Parent and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party, or pledgor will be hereby required in connection therewith. Further, the Stockholder is not required to give notice of such pledge to Parent. At the Stockholder’s expense, the Parent shall execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Restricted Securities might reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Restricted Securities, including, if the Restricted Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of such stockholders selling such securities thereunder.

10.3

Removal of Legends. Certificates evidencing the Underlying Parent Shares will not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 10.2): (a) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act; (b) following any sale of such Underlying Parent Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (c) if such Underlying Parent Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Parent to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Underlying Parent Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions; or (d) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities Laws (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Parent shall cause the Parent’s counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If (w) all or any shares of Parent Series A Preferred Shares are converted or any portion of the Parent Warrant is exercised in each case at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Parent Shares, (x) such Underlying Parent Shares are permitted to be sold under Rule 144 and the Parent is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, (y) the Underlying Parent Shares are permitted to be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Parent to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Underlying Parent Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (z) a legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act and applicable securities Laws (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission), then, in each case, the Parent shall, upon issuance, issue such Underlying Parent Shares free of all legends. Following the Effective Date, the Parent shall, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by the Stockholder to the Parent or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Stockholder a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Parent shall not make any notation in the Parent’s records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 10. Certificates for Underlying Parent Shares subject to legend removal hereunder will be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Stockholder by crediting the account of the Stockholder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Stockholder. If the Parent Shares are not represented by physical share certificates, then references in this Section 10.3 to share certificates representing Underlying Parent Shares will be deemed to refer to non-certificated shares of Underlying Parent Shares represented by book entry.

10.4

Acknowledgment of Transfer Requirements. The Stockholder shall not sell any Restricted Securities other than pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, and the requirements of other applicable securities Laws, or an exemption from each of the foregoing. If the Stockholder sells Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, then the Stockholder shall sell such Restricted Securities in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement. The Stockholder acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Restricted Securities as set forth in this Section 10 is predicated upon the Parent’s reliance upon this understanding.

11.

Registration Rights. The Parent and the Stockholder shall negotiate in good faith to enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) that provides that, subject to the terms thereof: (a) the Stockholder, in the Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of the Parent Warrant and as a holder of Parent Series A Preferred Shares, is entitled to two demand registration rights and an unlimited number of piggyback registration rights requiring the Parent to register the resale of the Underlying Parent Shares; (b) the Parent will use the Parent’s commercially reasonable efforts to file, no later than the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form F-1 or Form F-3, as applicable, with respect to the registration of the resale of the Underlying Parent Shares; and (c) such other terms as are customary for registration rights agreements.

12.

Terminated Contracts. Upon the occurrence of the Effective Time, with respect to each Listed Contract, either (x) such Listed Contract will be hereby terminated between all parties thereto if the terms of such Listed Contract provide that such Listed Contract can be terminated with respect to all parties thereto by the action of the Stockholder or (y) if the immediately foregoing clause (x) is inapplicable to such Listed Contract, then the Stockholder and the Company acknowledge that the terms of such Listed Contract will cease to apply to the Stockholder and the Company and to each Subject Security that is or was held by the Stockholder; except that any obligation of the Company to indemnify the Stockholder (and other indemnified persons, if applicable) against third-party claims against the Stockholder (and other indemnified persons, if applicable) will not be hereby terminated and will not hereby cease to apply. After the Effective Time, promptly after the delivery of the Parent Warrant to the Stockholder, the Stockholder shall surrender to the Company all Warrants that the Stockholder holds.

13.	Certain Covenants.

13.1	Disclosure. The Company shall timely file a current report on Form 8-K with respect hereto.

13.2

Amendment of Merger Agreement. The Parent and the Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement if such amendment or waiver would adversely impact the Stockholder’s rights under this Agreement, the terms of any of the Acquired Securities, or the Stockholder’s relative percentage ownership (on an as-converted and as-exercised basis) in the Parent after the Effective Time. The Stockholder acknowledges that the amendment of the Merger Agreement to extend the Outside Date will be deemed not to be an amendment to the Merger Agreement that violates this Section 13.2.

13.3	Notices to Stockholder. If the Company provides any notices regarding the Merger or the Merger Agreement to the Company Common Stock Holders generally, then the Company shall concurrently provide a copy of such notice to the Stockholder.

14.

Termination. This Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of the following: (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement at a time when the Effective Time has not yet occurred and (b) the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Signing Date if, on or prior to such time, the Effective Time has not occurred. Upon the termination hereof, the Stockholder will be entitled to exercise the Stockholder’s rights under the Charter and any Listed Contract (in each case other than with respect to any Merger Action, to the extent waived under Section 6, and other than any matter waived under Section 6.1(b)) occurring prior to such termination in respect of which the Stockholder could have, but for the waivers given hereunder, exercised such rights.

15.	Reliance. The Stockholder acknowledges that the Parent is entering into, and causing Merger Sub to enter into, the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution and delivery hereof.

16.	No Amendment to Charter. The Parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing herein will constitute an amendment to the Charter for which the approval of the holders of Company Common Stock would be required under the DGCL.

17.	General Provisions.

17.1	Amendments; Waivers.

(a)	This Agreement can be amended if, and only if, such amendment is in writing and is signed by each Party.

(b)

No waiver by any Party of such Party’s rights, powers, or privileges hereunder, will be binding against any other Party. No such waiver by a Party, and no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any of such Party’s rights, powers, or privileges hereunder, will be enforceable against such Party unless such waiver was given in a written instrument signed by such Party. The waiver by any Party of any of such Party’s rights, powers, or privileges hereunder arising because of any claimed breach, default, or misrepresentation under or with respect to a provision hereof, whether intentional or not, will not thereby extend (and will not be deemed to thereby extend) to any prior separate or subsequent breach, default, or misrepresentation, respectively, by such Party or by another Party and will not affect in any way any rights, powers, or privileges arising by virtue of any such separate prior or subsequent occurrence. No single or partial exercise of a Party’s rights, powers, or privileges under this Agreement will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege hereunder or otherwise.

17.2

Assignment. Except as set forth in Section 5 with respect to the Transfer of Subject Securities and except in connection with the Stockholder’s transfer of Restricted Securities to the extent permitted under Section 10.1, each Party shall not, and shall not purport to, assign any of such Party’s rights hereunder or delegate any of such Party’s obligations hereunder (and shall not enter into any Contract that requires any such assignment or delegation) without the prior written consent of each other Party, and any such purported assignment or delegation without obtaining such written consent will be void ab initio.

17.3	No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No provision hereof is intended to confer, will not confer, and will not be deemed to confer benefits, rights, or remedies upon any Person other than upon the Parties, their respective successors, and their respective permitted assigns.

17.4	Notice. To be valid for purposes hereof, any notice, request, demand, waiver, consent, approval, or other communication (any of the foregoing, a “Notice”) that is given pursuant hereto:

The form of dividend payments to each Holder shall be determined in the following order of priority: (i) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Corporation is authorized to pay a dividend under the Corporations Act and any of the Equity Conditions have not been met during the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date (the “Dividend Notice Period”), in cash only; (ii) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Corporation is authorized to pay a dividend under the Corporations Act and all of the Equity Conditions have been met during the Dividend Notice Period, at the sole election of the Corporation, in cash or shares of Common Stock which shall be valued solely for such purpose at the average of the VWAPs for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date; and (iii) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Corporation is not authorized to pay a dividend under the Corporations Act for the payment of dividends, then such dividends shall accrue to the next Dividend Payment Date. The Holders shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to the delivery of any such shares as if such shares were being issued pursuant to Section 6. Dividends may be franked or unfranked for Australian tax law purposes.

b) Corporation’s Ability to Pay Dividends in Cash or Kind.

The Corporation shall promptly notify the Holders at any time the Corporation is authorized to pay dividends under the Corporations Act and shall become able or unable, as the case may be, to legally pay cash dividends. If at any time the Corporation has the ability to legally pay dividends in cash or shares of Common Stock, then, in order to be able to pay dividends in Common Stock, the Corporation must provide the Holders with at least 20 Trading Days’ notice of its election (but only if, at the time of such dividend, the Corporation is permitted to do so pursuant to Section 3.a)) to pay a regularly scheduled dividend in shares of Common Stock (the Corporation may indicate in such notice that the election contained in such notice shall continue for later periods until revised by a subsequent notice).

Dividends on the Series A Preference Shares shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar-day periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date, and shall be deemed to accrue from such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. If the payment of dividends in shares of Common Stock shall otherwise occur pursuant to Section 6.c)i., then, solely for purposes of the payment of dividends in shares, the Dividend Payment Date shall be deemed the Conversion Date. Dividends shall cease to accrue with respect to any Series A Preference Shares that are converted. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays dividends partially in cash and partially in shares, then such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders based upon the number of shares of Series A Preference Shares held by each Holder on such Dividend Payment Date.

d) Late Fees. If the Corporation is authorized to pay dividends under the Corporations Act and funds are legally available for the payment of cash dividends and the Corporation is required to or elects to pay dividends in cash then such cash dividends that are not paid within five Trading Days following a Dividend Payment Date shall continue to accrue and shall entail a late fee, which must be paid in cash, at the rate of 18% per annum or the lesser rate permitted by applicable law which shall accrue daily from the Dividend Payment Date through and including the date of actual payment in full.

e) Dividends, Distributions and Repurchases. So long as any Series A Preference Shares shall remain outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities as long as any dividends due on the Series A Preference Shares remain unpaid or the Corporation is not in compliance, in all material respects, with its payment and other obligations under these Series A Preference Terms. So long as any Series A Preference Shares shall remain outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon (other than a dividend or distribution described in Section 3 or dividends due and paid in the ordinary course on preferred stock of the Corporation at such times when the Corporation is in compliance with its payment and other obligations under these Series A Preference Terms), nor shall any distribution be made in respect of, any Junior Securities as long as any dividends due on the Series A Preference Shares remain unpaid.

Section 4. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by law, the Series A Preference Shares shall have no voting rights. However, the Holders have the right to vote: (a) during a period during which a dividend (or part of a dividend) in respect of Series A Preference Shares is in arrears, (b) on a proposal to reduce the share capital of the Corporation, (c) on a resolution to approve the terms of a buy-back agreement, (d) on a proposal that affects rights attached to the Series A Preference Shares, (e) on a proposal to wind up the Corporation, (f) on a proposal for the disposal of the whole of the property, business and undertaking of the Corporation, and (g) during the winding up of the Corporation. In addition, as long as any shares of Series A Preference Shares are outstanding, the Corporation shall not authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation senior to, or pari passu with, the Series A Preference Shares. Nothing in this Section 4 will prohibit the Corporation from consummating a Change of Control Transaction (or from entering into any agreement contemplating or committing the Corporation to consummate a Change of Control Transaction); provided that the Holder shall have the rights set forth in these Series A Preference Terms.

Section 5. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), each Holder shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation an amount equal to the Stated Value represented by the Series A Preference Shares held at such time by such Holder, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing thereon under these Series A Preference Terms, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the Holders shall be ratably distributed among the Holders in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. A Change of Control Transaction is deemed not to be a Liquidation. The Corporation shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each Holder.

Section 6. Conversion.

a) Conversions at Option of Holder. The Stated Value represented by a Holder’s Series A Preference Shares shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date at the option of such Holder, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.d)) determined by dividing such Stated Value by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversions by providing to the persons designated by the Corporation with the signed form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series A Preference Shares to be converted, the number of shares of Series A Preference Shares owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series A Preference Shares owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such effective date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of shares of Series A Preference Shares, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Series A Preference Shares to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Series A Preference Shares represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series A Preference Shares promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Series A Preference Shares converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

b) Conversion Price. Subject to the next sentence, the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) for the Series A Preference Shares equals $[_____],2 subject to adjustment herein. If, at any given time, the calculation of the Conversion Price pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence would result in a number that is less than the Floor Price, then the Conversion Price at such time will be deemed to be the Floor Price.

c) Mechanics of Conversion3

i. Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than five (5) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Waiver Agreements) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Series A Preference Shares (including, if the Corporation has given continuous notice pursuant to Section 3.b) for payment of dividends in shares of Common Stock at least 20 Trading Days prior to the date on which the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Corporation, shares of Common Stock representing the payment of accrued dividends otherwise determined pursuant to Section 3.a) but assuming that the Dividend Notice Period is the 20 Trading Days period immediately prior to the date on which the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Corporation and excluding for such issuance the condition that the Corporation deliver the Dividend Share Amount as to such dividend payment), and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends as of the Conversion Date (if the Corporation has elected or is required to pay accrued dividends in cash). On or after the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

ii. Failure to Deliver Certificates. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled thereafter to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before such Holder’s receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Series A Preference Shares certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

iii. Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series A Preference Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the portion of Stated Value represented by such Holder’s Series A Preference Shares, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series A Preference Shares of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the portion of Stated Value represented by such Series A Preference Shares that are subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, pay cash if the Corporation has so elected to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 6.c)vi., upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6.c)i. on the fifth Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, then the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $2,000 of the portion of Stated Value represented by Series A Preference Shares being converted, $10 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after the fifth Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare a Triggering Event pursuant to Section 10 as a result of the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to obtain damages pursuant to any other section hereof or under applicable law.

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver to a Holder the applicable certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6.c)i., and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares that such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased by or on behalf of the Holder exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue and that were sold multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series A Preference Shares equal to the number of shares of Series A Preference Shares submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6.c)i.. For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series A Preference Shares with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Corporation, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preference Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Corporation is required to make payment in respect of a Buy-In for the failure to timely deliver certificates hereunder and, if the Corporation has previously paid such Holder liquidated damages under Section 6.c)iii. in respect of the certificates resulting in such Buy-In prior to such Buy-In, such amounts paid under Section 6.c)iii. shall be deducted from the amount to be paid in respect of such certificates pursuant to this Section 6.c)iv..

v. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preference Shares and payment of dividends on the Series A Preference Shares, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Series A Preference Shares), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Waiver Agreement and Merger Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preference Shares and payment of dividends hereunder. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

vi. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preference Shares. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

vii. Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Series A Preference Shares shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Series A Preference Shares and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

d) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Corporation is not required to effect any conversion of the Series A Preference Shares, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series A Preference Shares, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preference Shares with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series A Preference Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Series A Preference Shares or the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6.d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6.d) applies, the determination of whether the Series A Preference Shares are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of how many shares of Series A Preference Shares are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Series A Preference Shares may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and how many shares of the Series A Preference Shares are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. A determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 6.d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (x) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (z) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such 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 Corporation, including the Series A Preference Shares, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” means, subject to the next sentence, 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preference Shares held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Corporation, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 6.d) applicable to its Series A Preference Shares provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preference Shares held by the Holder, and the provisions of this Section 6.d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner with the terms of this Section 6.d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) that may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Series A Preference Shares.

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series A Preference Shares are outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents on shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, the Series A Preference Shares); (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7.a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Subsequent Equity Sales.

i. If, at any time while the Series A Preference Shares are outstanding, the Corporation (x) sells or grants any option to purchase, (y) sells or grants any right to reprice, or (z) otherwise disposes of or issues, in each case other than pursuant to Section 7.c), any Post-OID Shares entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and any such issuance, sale, or grant, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Conversion Price will thereby be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price.

ii. If, at any time while the Series A Preference Shares are outstanding, the Corporation enters into a Variable Rate Transaction with respect to securities, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued Post-OID Shares at the lowest conversion price at which such securities may actually be converted or exercised.

iii. If holders of Post-OID Shares shall at any time (whether (x) by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or (y) due to warrants, options or rights per share that are issued in connection with the issuance of such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents) be entitled to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price will thereby be reduced at such time to equal such lower price.

iv. The Corporation shall notify the Holders in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section7.b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Corporation provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section7.b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holders are entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether a Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

v. Nothing in this Section 7.b) will prevent the Corporation from redeeming all or a portion of a Holder’s shares of Series A Preference Shares in accordance with these Series A Preference Terms using all or a portion of the consideration received in connection with any issuance of Post-OID Shares.

vi. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.b) to the contrary, no adjustment will be made under this Section 7.b) in respect of any Exempt Issuance.

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series A Preference Shares are outstanding, issues rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the VWAP on the record date referenced below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming delivery to the Corporation in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. Nothing in this Section 7.c) will prevent the Corporation from redeeming all or a portion of a Holder’s shares of Series A Preference Shares in accordance with these Series A Preference Terms using all or a portion of the consideration received in connection with any purchases of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the rights, options, or warrants described in this Section7.c).

d) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series A Preference Shares are outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (other than such distributions of rights, options or warrants to purchase Common Stock, which shall be subject to Section 7.c)), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights, options or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board in good faith. In any case, the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holders describing the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding as of such date.

f) Notice to the Holders.

i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at such Holder’s last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights, options, or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights, options, or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert such Holder’s Series A Preference Shares during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

g) No Adjustment After Notice of Forced Conversion or Redemption. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, (i) no adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made with respect to Series A Preference Shares after the time at which the Corporation provides a Forced Conversion Notice with respect to such Series A Preference Shares (unless such Forced Conversion Notice is subsequently revoked or the Corporation is subsequently unable to cause such Series A Preference Shares to convert in Common Stock in accordance with Section 8) and (ii) no adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made with respect to Series A Preference Shares after the time at which the Corporation provides a Corporation Redemption Notice with respect to such Series A Preference Shares (unless such Corporation Redemption Notice is subsequently revoked or the Corporation is subsequently unable to cause such Series A Preference Shares to be redeemed in accordance with Section 9).

Section 8. Forced Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Series A Preference Terms and subject to the limitation set forth in Section 6.d), if (i) the VWAP for each day of any 20 consecutive Trading Day period, which 20 consecutive Trading Day period shall have commenced only after the Conversion Shares Registration Statement becomes effective or the Conversion Shares may be sold without limitation under Rule 144 (such 20-consecutive Trading Day period, the “Threshold Period”), exceeds 150% of the Conversion Price each Trading Day of such Threshold Period (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and the like), then the Corporation may, within 1 Trading Day after the end of any such Threshold Period, deliver a written notice to all Holders (a “Forced Conversion Notice” and the date such notice is delivered to all Holders, the “Forced Conversion Notice Date”) to cause each Holder to convert into Common Stock all or part of such Holder’s Series A Preference Shares (as specified in such Forced Conversion Notice) plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the Series A Preference Shares pursuant to Section 6, it being agreed that the “Conversion Date” for purposes of Section 6 shall be deemed to occur on the third Trading Day following the Forced Conversion Notice Date (such third Trading Day, the “Forced Conversion Date”). The Corporation may not deliver a Forced Conversion Notice, and any Forced Conversion Notice delivered by the Corporation shall not be effective, unless all of the Equity Conditions have been met on each Trading Day during the applicable Threshold Period through and including the date that the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to such conversion are actually delivered to the Holders pursuant to the Forced Conversion Notice. Any Forced Conversion Notices shall be applied ratably to all of the Holders based on each Holder’s ownership of Series A Preference Shares as of the Forced Conversion Date, provided that any voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against such Holder’s pro rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount forcibly converted hereunder if less than all shares of the Series A Preference Shares are forcibly converted. For purposes of clarification, a Forced Conversion shall be subject to all of the provisions of Section 6, including, without limitation, the provisions requiring payment of liquidated damages and limitations on conversions. In the event that a Forced Conversion is subject to limitation with respect to one or more Holders because of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation under Section 6.d), then the Series A Preference Shares held by such Holders will remain outstanding, but only to the extent and only for so long, as necessary to comply with such restrictions, and from and after the Forced Conversion Date, any and all such shares of Series A Preference Shares that remain outstanding shall no longer (a) bear further dividends pursuant to Section 3, (b) be subject to further adjustments pursuant to Sections 7.b), c) or d), or (c) require the Corporation to make payments in the event of any Triggering Event.

Section 9. Corporation Redemption Right.

a) Optional Corporation Redemption. The Corporation is permitted, at any time, to redeem, in accordance with this Section 9, all or some of the outstanding Series A Preference Shares for cash at an aggregate price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to (i) 1.5 multiplied by the Stated Value represented by the shares of such Series A Preference Shares so redeemed, (ii) all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not declared) through the date of such redemption and (iii) if applicable, all outstanding liquidated damages (the “Redemption Date”).

b) Redemption Procedure.

i. In order to validly elect to redeem all or some of the Series A Preference Shares, the Corporation must mail notice of such redemption (a “Corporation Redemption Notice”) in accordance with Section 12.a), not less than 20 Business Days prior to the Redemption Date, to the Holders of record of the Series A Preference Shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses as reflected in the Corporation’s records; except that failure to give a Corporation Redemption Notice, or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof, will not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any Series A Preference Shares to be redeemed except as to the Holder to which the Corporation has failed to give such Corporation Redemption Notice or to which notice was defective. Each Corporation Redemption Notice must state: (A) the Redemption Date (which must be no earlier than 20 Business Days after the date of such Corporation Redemption Notice and no later than 45 Business Days after the date of such Corporation Redemption Notice); (B) the number of Series A Preference Shares to be redeemed; and (C) the Redemption Price, including a calculation of such Redemption Price. If the Corporation elects to redeem a portion, and not all, of the Series A Preference Shares, the Corporation shall redeem such Series A Preference Shares from all Holders pro rata in proportion to the number of Series A Preference Shares held by each such Holder relative to the number of Series A Preference Shares held by all Holders.

ii. After the Corporation has mailed a Corporation Redemption Notice in accordance with Section9.b)i., and on the condition that on or before the applicable Redemption Date the Corporation has set aside funds necessary for such redemption (separate and apart from the Corporation’s other funds) in trust for the pro rata benefit of the Holders entitled to redemption, so as to be and to continue to be available therefor, then, from and after the Redemption Date (unless, as of the end of the Redemption Date, the Corporation has not paid the Redemption Price, in which case such rights shall thereafter continue until the Redemption Price is paid), the Series A Preference Shares to be redeemed will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and to not have the status of Series A Preference Shares, and all rights of the Holders of such Series A Preference Shares with respect to the Series A Preference Shares (except the right to receive the applicable Redemption Price) will thereby cease.

iii. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may continue to exercise its conversion rights with respect to the Series A Preference Shares up until, but not including, the date the Redemption Price is paid to the Holder.

Section 10. Holder Redemption Upon Triggering Events.

a) “Triggering Event” means, wherever used herein, any of the following events (whatever the reason for such event and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

i. the failure of the initial Conversion Shares Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 185th day after the Original Issue Date; provided that, so long as Rule 144 is then available to the Holders without restrictions or limitations on resale this Triggering Event shall be tolled until such time that Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of the Conversion Shares;

ii. if, during the Effectiveness Period, the effectiveness of the Conversion Shares Registration Statement lapses for more than an aggregate of 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period, or the Holders shall not otherwise be permitted to resell Registrable Securities under the Conversion Shares Registration Statement for more than an aggregate of 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period; except that, so long as Rule 144 is then available to the Holders without restrictions or limitations on resale, this Triggering Event shall be tolled until such time that Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of the Conversion Shares;

iii. the Corporation shall fail to deliver certificates or book-entry shares representing Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder that comply with the provisions hereof prior to the 10th Trading Day after such Conversion Shares are required to be delivered hereunder, or the Corporation shall provide written notice to any Holder, including by way of public announcement, at any time, of the Corporation’s intention not to comply with such Holder’s requests for conversion of any shares of Series A Preference Shares in accordance with the terms hereof (and such Holder would otherwise be entitled to convert such Series A Preference Shares in accordance with the terms hereof);

iv. one of the Events (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) described in subsections (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.d) of the Registration Rights Agreement shall not have been cured to the satisfaction of the Holders prior to the expiration of 30 calendar days from the Event Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) relating thereto;

v. the Corporation shall fail for any reason to pay in full the amount of cash due pursuant to a Buy-In (provided that such cash due shall exceed $25,000 in the aggregate) within five calendar days after notice therefor is delivered hereunder (unless such amount is being contested in good faith);

vi. the Corporation shall fail to have available a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to issue to such Holder upon a conversion hereunder;

vii. unless specifically addressed elsewhere in these Series A Preference Terms as a Triggering Event, the Corporation shall knowingly and willfully fail to observe or perform in any material respect any other material covenant or agreement contained in the Series A Preference Terms or the Waiver Agreement, and such failure shall not, if subject to the possibility of a cure by the Corporation, have been cured within 30 calendar days after the date on which the Holder notifies the Corporation in writing of such failure;

viii. there shall have occurred a Bankruptcy Event; or

ix. the Common Stock shall fail to be (1) registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or (2) listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market for more than (x) five consecutive Trading Days or (y) ten total Trading Days (which need not be consecutive Trading Days).

b) Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, each Holder shall (in addition to all other rights it may have hereunder or under applicable law) have the right, exercisable at the sole option of such Holder, to require the Corporation to redeem all of the Series A Preference Shares then held by such Holder for a redemption price, in cash, equal to the Triggering Redemption Amount. The Triggering Redemption Amount shall be due and payable within thirty (30) Trading Days of the date on which the notice for the payment therefor is provided by a Holder (the “Triggering Redemption Payment Date”). If the Corporation fails to pay in full the Triggering Redemption Amount hereunder on the date such amount is due in accordance with this Section 10.b), then the Corporation will pay interest thereon at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, accruing daily from such date until the Triggering Redemption Amount, plus all such interest thereon, is paid in full. For purposes of this Section, a Series A Preference Share is outstanding until such date as the applicable Holder shall have received Conversion Shares upon a conversion (or attempted conversion) thereof that meets the requirements hereof or has been paid the Triggering Redemption Amount in cash.

Section 11. Change of Control Transaction. In connection with the consummation of any Change of Control Transaction, the Series A Preference Shares held by each Holder immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control Transaction (a) will be hereby converted in to the right to receive, before any distribution or payment shall be made to holders of other class or series of shares of the Corporation, an amount in cash equal to (i) 1.5 multiplied by the Stated Value represented by the Series A Preference Shares held by such Holder as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control Transaction, (ii) all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not declared) through the date of such Change of Control Transaction plus (iii) if applicable, all liquidated damage amounts due in respect to the Series A Preference Shares under these Series A Preference Terms, and (b) upon such conversion, such Series A Preference Shares will thereby be cancelled. Such payment shall be made to the Holder on the effective date of the Change of Control Transaction. Pending the actual payment of the amount set forth in this Section 11, Holders may exercise all of their rights under these Series A Preference Terms.

Section 12. Miscellaneous.

a) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at the following address: [ ] Attention: [ ], facsimile number [ ], or such other facsimile number or address as the Corporation may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section 12. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Corporation hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the facsimile number or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, or if no such facsimile number or address appears on the books of the Corporation, at the address of such Holder as set forth in the Waiver Agreement to which such Holder is a party. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth in this section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth in this Section 12.a) on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by internationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. Notices sent via e-mail to the designated recipient shall also be deemed to have been validly delivered at the time at which the confirmation of receipt of such e-mail is generated by the recipient opening the email message (and creating a record of receipt of the transmission) or at the time such email message is otherwise acknowledged by the recipient.

b) Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of these Series A Preference Terms shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay liquidated damages, accrued dividends and accrued interest, as applicable, on the shares of Series A Preference Shares at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

c) Lost or Mutilated Series A Preference Shares Certificate. If a Holder’s Series A Preference Shares certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Series A Preference Shares so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation.

d) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of these Series A Preference Terms shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of Australia, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under these Series A Preference Terms and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Series A Preference Terms or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of these Series A Preference Terms, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

e) Waiver. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder of a breach of any provision of these Series A Preference Terms shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of these Series A Preference Terms or a waiver by any other Holders. The failure of the Corporation or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of these Series A Preference Terms on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of these Series A Preference Terms on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder must be in writing.

f) Severability. If any provision of these Series A Preference Terms is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of these Series A Preference Terms shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

g) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

h) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of these Series A Preference Terms and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

i) Status of Converted or Redeemed Series A Preference Shares. Shares of Series A Preference Shares may only be issued pursuant to the Waiver Agreement and Merger Agreement. If any shares of Series A Preference Shares shall be converted, redeemed or reacquired by the Corporation, such shares shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as Series A Preference Shares.

j) Book-Entry Certificates. If at any time shares of Common Stock or Series A Preference Shares, as the case might be, are not as a class represented by physical share certificates, then references herein to share certificates of Common Stock or Series A Preference Shares, respectively, will be deemed, as applicable, to refer to book-entry shares.

k) Currency. References to currency, dollars, $, funds, money or similar terms in these Series A Preference Terms shall mean United States currency, dollars, $, funds and money.
