(b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay, and authorizes Lenders to pay in its name, all Other Taxes.

(c) Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within 10 days after receipt of demand therefor, each Lender for all Indemnified Taxes (including all Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.5(c)) paid by such Lender, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the applicable Lender(s) setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Foreign Person”) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in U.S. withholding tax shall provide Borrower with a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (including all required attachments) or other applicable form, or any other applicable certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower, and, if such Foreign Person is relying on the portfolio interest exception of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), shall also provide the Borrower with a certificate (the “Portfolio Interest Certificate”) representing that such Foreign Person is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), is not a 10% holder of the Borrower described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), and is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person (within the meaning of Sections 881(c)(3)(C) and 864(d)(4) of the Code, or any successor provisions thereto). Each Lender shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and shall promptly notify the Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(e) If a Lender determines in good faith that it has received a refund from a Government Authority relating to Taxes in respect of which the Borrower paid Additional Amounts or made a payment pursuant to Section 2.5(c), such Lender shall promptly pay such refund to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expense (including any Taxes imposed thereon) of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund, provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender if such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing in this Section shall require any Lender to disclose any information it deems confidential (including, without limitation, its tax returns) to any Person, including Borrower.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall not apply to payments on or under the Warrants or Warrant Shares.

Section 2.6 Costs, Expenses and Losses. If, as a result of any failure by the Borrower to pay any sums due under this Agreement on the due date therefor (after the expiration of any applicable grace periods), the Lenders shall incur costs, expenses and/or losses, by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits from third parties, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders upon request by the Lenders, the amount of such costs, expenses and/or losses within fifteen (15) days after receipt by it of a certificate from the Lenders setting forth in reasonable detail such costs, expenses and/or losses, along with supporting documentation. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, “costs, expenses and/or losses” shall include, without limitation, any interest paid or payable to carry any unpaid amount and any loss, premium, penalty or expense which may be incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits of or borrowings from third parties in order to make, maintain or fund the Loan or any portion thereof.

Section 2.7 Interest. The outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in each quarter). Interest shall be paid quarterly in arrears commencing on April 1, 2013 and on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October thereafter (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).

Section 2.8 Interest on Late Payments. Without limiting the remedies available to the Lenders under the Transaction Documents or otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, if the Borrower fails to make a required payment of principal or interest with respect to the Loan when due the Borrower shall pay, in respect of such principal and interest at the rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate plus ten percent (10%) for so long as such payment remains outstanding. Such interest shall be payable on demand.

Section 2.9 Fee. On the Agreement Date, the Borrower shall pay to such entity affiliated with the Lenders as the Lenders shall direct a fee of $500,000.

Section 2.10 Delivery of Warrants.

(a) On the date hereof, the Borrower shall issue to the Lenders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares of Common Stock in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit D-1 hereto (the “Warrants”) at an initial Exercise Price of $2.63.

(b) All Warrants issued pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be allocated among the Lenders as set forth on Schedule 1.

Sec. 1.1272-1(b)(1)(ii)) ending after the fifth anniversary of the Agreement Date, and each accrual period thereafter, Borrower shall, in respect of any Note, pay in cash, on or before the end of such accrual period, both the stated interest due and payable as set forth herein and any accrued and unpaid “original issue discount” (determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Secs. 1.1273-1 and 1.1272-1) with respect to such Note if, but only to the extent that, the aggregate amount of such original issue discount that has accrued and has not been paid in cash from the Agreement Date through the end of such accrual period (treating any payments made pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.3(e) of this Agreement as a payment of original issue discount to the full extent required under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.1275-2(a)) exceeds the product of the “issue price” (as defined in Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.1273-2(a)(1)) of such Note and the “yield to maturity” (determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.1272-1(b)) on such Note.

(ii) The Borrower shall not establish any Domestic Subsidiary that conducts any material part of the business conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole unless such Domestic Subsidiary executes and delivers to the Lenders a guaranty of the Obligations in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders holding a Majority in Interest and the Borrower and, if requested by the Lenders, a security agreement in the form of the Security Agreement.

(iii) The Borrower shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to (i) enter into any partnership, joint venture, syndicate, pool, profit-sharing or

Section 5.3 Major Transaction. The Borrower shall give the Lenders notice of a Major Transaction at least 30 days prior to the consummation of such transaction but in any event not later than 5 Business Days following the first public announcement thereof. Within 5 days after the receipt of such notice the Lenders holding a Majority in Interest, in the exercise of their sole discretion, may deliver a notice to the Borrower (the “Put Notice”), that the Final Payment shall be due and payable simultaneously with the consummation of such Major Transaction. If the Lenders deliver a Put Notice, then simultaneously with consummation of such Major Transaction, the Borrower shall make the Final Payment to the Lenders.

Section 5.4 General Acceleration Provision upon Events of Default. If one or more of the events specified in this Section 5.4 shall have happened and be continuing beyond the applicable cure period (each, an “Event of Default”), the Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower, may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes or any part

of any of them (together with any other amounts accrued or payable under the Transaction Documents) to be, and the same shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable, without any further notice and without any presentment, demand, or protest of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and take any further action available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the sale of the Loan and all other rights acquired in connection with the Loan:

(a) The Borrower shall have failed to make payment of (i) principal under the Notes when due or (ii) any interest under the Notes when due and such failure shall have continued for five (5) Business Days.

(b) The Borrower shall have failed to comply with the due observance or performance of any covenant contained in this Agreement, the Security Agreement or the Notes (other than the covenants described in (a) above), and such failure shall not have been cured by the Borrower within 30 days after receiving written notice of such failure from the Lenders.

(c) Any representation or warranty made by the Borrower in any Transaction Document shall have been incorrect, false or misleading as of the date it was made.

(d) (i) The Borrower shall generally be unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they come due or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the Borrower shall declare a moratorium on the payment of its debts; (iii) the commencement by the Borrower of proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization, intervention or other similar relief under any applicable law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of an intervenor, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of all or substantially all of its assets; (iv) the commencement against the Borrower of a proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction under any bankruptcy or other applicable law (as now or hereafter in effect) seeking its liquidation, winding up, dissolution, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or the appointment of an intervenor, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official), and any such proceeding shall continue undismissed, or any order, judgment or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall continue unstayed or otherwise in effect, for a period of ninety (90) days; or (v) any other event shall have occurred which under any applicable law would have an effect analogous to any of those events listed above in this subsection.

(e) One or more judgments against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or attachments against any of their respective property not covered by insurance in an amount individually or in the aggregate in excess of $250,000, remain(s) unpaid, unstayed on appeal, undischarged, unbonded or undismissed for a period of 30 days from the date of entry of such judgment.

(f) Any authorization necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of any Transaction Document or for the validity or enforceability of any of the Obligations under any Transaction Document is not given or is withdrawn or ceases to remain in full force or effect.

(g) The validity of any Transaction Document shall be contested by the Borrower, or any treaty, law, regulation, communiqué, decree, ordinance or policy of any jurisdiction shall purport to render any material provision of any Transaction Document invalid or unenforceable or shall purport to prevent or materially delay the performance or observance by the Borrower of the Obligations.

(h) There is a failure to perform any agreement to which the Borrower of any Subsidiary is a party resulting in a right by a third party to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness for borrowed money in an amount in excess of $250,000

Section 5.5 Automatic Acceleration on Dissolution or Bankruptcy. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, if an Event of Default under Section 5.4(d) shall occur, the principal of the Notes (together with any other amounts accrued or payable under this Agreement) shall thereupon become immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

Section 5.6 Recovery of Amounts Due. If any amount payable hereunder is not paid as and when due, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders to proceed, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without prior notice, by right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim, against any moneys or other assets of the Borrower to the full extent of all amounts payable to the Lenders.

Section 6.2 Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to the Lenders or the Borrower under the any of the Transaction Documents, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

Section 6.3 Reimbursement of Legal and Other Expenses. If any amount owing to the Lenders under any Transaction Document shall be collected through enforcement of this Agreement, any Transaction Document or restructuring of the Loan in the nature of a work-out, settlement, negotiation, or any process of law, or shall be placed in the hands of third Persons for collection, the Borrower shall pay (in addition to all monies then due in respect of the Loan or otherwise payable under any Transaction Document) reasonable attorneys’ and other reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lenders in respect of such collection.

Section 6.4 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) may be commenced non-exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of

Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, 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 any such court. 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 this Agreement 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 law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.

Section 6.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the respective successors and assigns of the Parties, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights under the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders; provided that the Borrower may assign or transfer all or any part of its rights under the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders in connection with a Major Transaction if the Lenders holding a Majority in Interest do not exercise the put right provided for in Section 5.3.

Section 6.6 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the matters covered thereby and supersede any and all other written and oral communications, negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto. The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the authorized officer of each the Borrower and Lenders holding a Majority in Interest.

Section 6.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

Section 6.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by each Party on separate counterparts, each of which and any photocopies and facsimile copies thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 6.9 Survival.

(a) This Agreement and all agreements, representations and warranties made in the Transaction Documents, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loan hereunder regardless of any investigation made by any such other Party or on its behalf, and shall continue in force until all amounts payable under the Transaction Documents shall have been fully paid in accordance with the provisions thereof, and the Lenders shall not be deemed to

have waived, by reason of making the Loan, any Event of Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of any such Event of Default or may have had notice or knowledge that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Disbursement was made.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower under Section 1.4 and the obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under this Article 6 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 6.10 Waiver. Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any other Transaction Document, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any other Transaction Document, preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default hereunder, or under any other Transaction Document, constitute a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or default or constitute a waiver of any default of the same or of any other term or provision. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to the Lenders upon any default under this Agreement, or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of the Lenders in respect of any such default, or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of the Lenders in respect of any other default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law.

Section 6.11 Indemnity.

(a) The Parties shall, at all times, indemnify and hold each other (the “Indemnity”) and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless in connection with any losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, or other expenses resulting from claims from third parties arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the Security Agreement or the use or intended use of the Loan other than in accordance with this Agreement, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject (each, a “Loss”). The Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal with jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Loss, and over the Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, and such other Indemnified Person that had an adequate opportunity to defend its interests, determines that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person, which determination results in a final, non-appealable judgment or decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of any Party under any Transaction Document to pay any amount to the Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement. None of the Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) under the Indemnity except to the extent of direct (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive) damages determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Loss in respect thereof is to be made against any Party (the “Indemnifying Person”) under this Section 6.11, deliver to the Indemnifying Person a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Indemnifying Person shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Indemnifying Person so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be.

(c) An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Person, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnifying Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Person shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Indemnifying Person. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Person within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6.11 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any of the Parties hereunder, the agreements and the obligations of the Parties contained in this Section 6.11 shall survive the termination of each other provision hereof and the payment of all amounts payable to the Lenders hereunder.

Section 6.12 No Usury. The Transaction Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law, that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loan, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loan until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loan is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes.

Section 6.13 Further Assurances. From time to time, the Borrower shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to the Lenders such additional documents as may be necessary or as reasonably requested by the Lenders to carry out the purposes of any Transaction Document or to preserve and protect the Lenders’ rights as contemplated therein.

Section 6.14 Independent Transaction Documents. Each Transaction Document constitutes an independent agreement between the parties thereto (the “Transaction Parties”) and no Transaction Document shall be construed so as to affect the rights of the Transaction Parties to their rights and remedies under another Transaction Document.
