SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE GRID NOTE
DUE OCTOBER 1, 2010

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ICP Solar Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the "Borrower" or “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ________________________________or its registered assigns (the "Holder") the sum of up to ________________________________, or so much thereof as shall constitute the Principal Amount (as defined below), calculated as described below, based upon the amount advanced (each an “Advance”) by the Holder to the Company hereunder and not repaid by October 1, 2010 (the "Maturity Date"), or such earlier date as this Grid Note is required or permitted to be repaid as provided hereunder, in accordance with the provisions hereof. This Grid Note (including all Grid Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this "Grid Note") is one of an issue of Grid Notes issued pursuant to the Line of Credit Agreement (as defined in Section 1 below) on the Closing Date (collectively, the "Grid Notes" and such other Grid Notes, the "Other Grid Notes").

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, including but not limited to Section 7(c) below, this Grid Note may not be prepaid by the Borrower. All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Borrower (the "Common Stock") in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at the address of the Holder as set forth in the Line of Credit Agreement (as defined in Section 1 below) or at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Grid Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Grid Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day.

This Note evidences loans made by Holder to Borrower from time to time, subject to, and as provided in the Line of Credit Agreement. The unpaid principal balance of this Note at any time shall be the difference of (i) the total amount advanced by Holder to Borrower, divided by 0.9009 (the “Original Issuance Discount”), less (ii) the sum of (a) the total amount of principal payments made hereon by Borrower and (b) the total amounts of this Grid Note that have been converted into Common Stock (such difference is defined as the “Principal Amount”). The date and amount of each Advance and each payment on account of principal thereof may be endorsed by Holder on the grid attached to and made a part of this Note, and when so endorsed shall represent evidence thereof binding upon Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Any failure by Holder to so endorse shall in no way mitigate or discharge the obligation of Borrower to repay any loans actually made. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time with all accrued interest to the date of prepayment.

1


Advances hereunder may be made, at the option of the Holder, subject to the limitations as to time and amount set forth in the Line of Credit Agreement. Any such Advance so made shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of Borrower, and Borrower shall be liable in respect thereof when any such Advance is made in accordance with any such request or direction, or when deposited to any account of Borrower. Upon each Advance, Borrower shall deliver to Holder a certificate signed by its CEO and CFO representing to Holder that (i) all of the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in this Note and in the Line of Credit Agreement are true and correct as of the date of such request as if made on and as of such date and (ii) on such date Borrower is not in breach of any of its covenants to Holder set forth in this Note, the Line of Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement or in any other document or instrument of Borrower to Holder and no Event of Default has occurred.

Except as expressly otherwise provided herein with respect to prepayments, all payments on this Note shall be applied to the payment of accrued interest and accrued reimbursement obligations with respect to Holder’s attorneys’ fees and expenses before being applied to the payment of principal. In the event that any other Required Cash Payment is due at any time that Holder receives a payment from Borrower on account of this Note or any such other Obligations, Holder may apply such payment to amounts due under this Note or any such other Required Cash Payments in such manner as Holder, in its discretion, elects, regardless of any instructions from Borrower to the contrary. The obligations of Borrower to Holder evidenced by this Note are secured by that certain Security Agreement (as defined in the Line of Credit Agreement) dated as of the date hereof.

This Grid Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

Section 3. Conversion.

(a) Conversion Right.

(i) Conversion Timing and Amount. Subject to the limitations on Conversion contained herein, the record Holder of this Grid Note shall have the right (a “Conversion Right”) from time to time, and at any time on or after the Original Issue Date hereof to convert any of all of the Grid Notes (plus any accrued and unpaid Liquidated Damages and other Required Cash Payments) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified, at the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3(b) below, subject to adjustment as provided herein) determined as provided herein (a "Conversion"). The Conversion Rights set forth in this Section 3 shall remain in full force and effect immediately from the Original Issue Date until the Grid Note is paid in full regardless of the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(ii) Limitation On Conversion. Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Grid Note in excess of that portion of this Grid Note upon Conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and any applicable affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Grid Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company subject to a limitation on Conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein)(the “Beneficially Owned Shares”) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Conversion of the portion of the Grid Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) 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 this Grid Note held by the Holder (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined by the Holder in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, and PROVIDED THAT the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be conclusively satisfied if the applicable Notice of Conversion includes a signed representation by the Holder, if requested by the Company, that the issuance of the shares in such Notice of Conversion will not violate the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall not be entitled to require additional documentation of such satisfaction.

8


The parties agree that, in the event that the Company receives any tender offer or any offer to enter into a merger with another entity whereby the Company shall not be the surviving entity (an “Offer”), or in the event that Default Shares are being issued to the Holder pursuant to Section 11 hereof, then the Maximum Percentage shall be automatically increased immediately after such Offer to read “9.99%” each place that “4.99%” occurs in the first paragraph of this Section 3(a)(ii) above. Notwithstanding the above, Holder shall retain the option to either exercise or not exercise its option(s) to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof after an Offer. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3(a)(ii) may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, to change the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not less than 4.99% and not in excess of 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 this Grid Note held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 3(a)(ii) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease to the Maximum Percentage will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Grid Notes. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such Holder, provided that, if an Event of Default occurs, thereafter the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3(a)(ii) may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, to change the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not less than 4.99% (and not limited to 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 this Grid Note held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 3(a)(ii) shall continue to apply. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(a)(ii) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

9


(iii) Maximum Exercise of Rights. In the event the Holder notifies the Company that the exercise of the rights described in this Section 3 or the issuance of Interim Conversion Shares (as defined in Section 6(d) hereof), Payment Shares (as defined in the Line of Credit Agreement) or other shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder under the terms of the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Issuable Shares”) would result in the issuance of an amount of Common Stock that would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to a Holder calculated in the manner described in Section 3(a)(ii) of this Agreement, then the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock to such Holder will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Holder is able to beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the maximum amount calculated in the manner described in Section 3(a)(ii) of this Agreement. The determination of when such Common Stock may be issued without violating the Beneficial Ownership Limitations shall be made by each Holder as to only such Holder.

(iv) Calculation of Conversion Amount. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each Conversion of this Grid Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined herein) by the applicable Conversion Price. The term "Conversion Amount" means, with respect to any Conversion of the Grid Note, the sum of (1) the Principal Amount of the Grid Note to be converted in such Conversion, PLUS (2) at the Holder's option, any Liquidated Damages and other Required Cash Payment owed to the Holder.

(b) Conversion Price. The "Conversion Price" shall initially equal ten cents ($0.10) (the "Initial Conversion Price") (subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms of this Grid Note and subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company relating to the Company's securities or the securities of any Subsidiary of the Company, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events).

(c) Reservation of Shares.

(i) Increase and Maintenance of Authorized and Reserved Amount. The Company represents that the aggregate number of its authorized shares of Common Stock is at least 100,000,000 shares and covenants that it will initially reserve (the “Initial Share Reservation”) from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 150% of the initial principal amount of this Grid Note, divided by the Conversion Price in effect on the Original Issue Date of this Grid Note, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the Conversion of this Grid Note.

Company further covenants that, beginning on the Original Issue Date hereof, and continuing until all of the Grid Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares (the “Required Grid Note Reserve Amount”), free from preemptive rights, equal to 150% of the number of shares as shall from time to time be necessary to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full Conversion of all of the Grid Notes (without regard to any limitations on conversions). The Company shall authorize and reserve such additional amounts (together with the Required Grid Note Reserve Amount, collectively referred to as the “Required Reserve Amount”) of shares from time to time as necessary to comply with the Company's obligations to meet the Ongoing Share Reservation Requirements (as defined in the Line of Credit Agreement) pursuant to Section 4(e) of the Line of Credit Agreement. The Company represents that upon issuance, such Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Company shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Grid Note shall be convertible at the then applicable Conversion Price, or if the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, the Company shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for Conversion of the outstanding portion of this Grid Note.

10


(ii) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Grid Notes remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Grid Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an "Authorized Share Failure"), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company's authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Grid Notes then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.

The Company shall use its best efforts to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable following the earlier of (i) such time that the Holder notifies the Company or that the Company otherwise becomes aware that there are or likely will be insufficient authorized, reserved and unissued shares to allow full Conversion of the outstanding amount of the Grid Note. The Company shall send notice to the Holder of the authorization of additional shares of Common Stock, the date of such authorization and the amount of the Holder's accrued Liquidated Damages.

(iii) Allocations of Reserve Amount. The initial number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for conversions of the Grid Notes and each increase in the number of shares so reserved (collectively, the “Actual Reserved Amount”) shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders (the "Reserved Share Allocation") of the Grid Notes based on the aggregate number of Shares into which each Holder’s outstanding Grid Note would be convertible (collectively, the “Fully Diluted Holdings”) as a percentage of the aggregate Fully Diluted Holdings of all of the Holders. In the event a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer such Holder’s Debenture, each transferee shall immediately be allocated a pro rata portion of such transferor’s Reserved Share Allocation. Any portion of the Reserved Share Allocation which remains allocated to any Person or entity which does not hold any Grid Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Grid Notes, pro rata based on the Holder’s Fully Diluted Holdings at the time of such allocation.

11


(d) Method of Conversion.

(i) Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 3(a) and the other provisions of this Grid Note, this Grid Note may be converted into Common Stock by the Holder in whole or in part at any time and from time to time after the Original Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Company a duly executed notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A ("Notice of Conversion") by facsimile dispatched prior to Midnight, New York City time (the "Conversion Notice Deadline") on the date specified therein as the Conversion Date (as defined herein) (or by other means resulting in written notice to the Company on the date specified therein as the Conversion Date) to the office of the Company; which notice shall specify the principal amount of this Grid Note to be converted (plus the dollar amount of any Liquidated Damages, and other Required Cash Payments that the Holder elects to convert into Common Stock), the applicable Conversion Price, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion; and (B) subject to Section 3(d)(vii), surrendering the Grid Note at the principal office of the Company.

(ii) Conversion Date. The "Conversion Date" shall be the date specified in the Notice of Conversion, provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, written notice) to the Company or its transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) before Midnight, New York City time, on the date so specified, otherwise the Conversion Date shall be the date that the Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile thereof) is first received by the Company or its Transfer Agent. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon Conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such securities as of the Conversion Date.

(iii) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion, the Company shall, by no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the Conversion Date (the "Conversion Shares Delivery Deadline"), issue and deliver (or cause its Transfer Agent so to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Line of Credit Agreement to or upon the order of the Holder that number of shares of Common Stock (“Conversion Shares”) for the principal amount of this Grid Note (plus the dollar amount of any Liquidated Damages, and other Required Cash Payments that the Holder elects to convert into Common Stock) converted as shall be determined in accordance herewith. Upon the Conversion of this Grid Note, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company's Transfer Agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other Persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at Conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent of the Common Stock and that the Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Shares provided the Shares are eligible for immediate resale, without volume limitations, pursuant to Rule 144 or another exemption from registration.

12


(iv) Delivery Failure; Partial Liquidated Damages; Revocation of Conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 3(d)(iii) by the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such fifth (5th) Trading Day until such certificates are delivered (the “Late Share Delivery Liquidated Damages”). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or damages for an Event of Default pursuant to the terms hereof for the Company’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 the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Conversion Shares by the Conversion Shares Delivery Deadline, or fails to effect delivery of Default Shares by the Default Share Delivery Deadline (as defined in Section 11 hereof) (each, a “Delivery Failure”), the Holder, at its option, will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion (a “Conversion Revocation”) or rescind all or part of a Default Conversion Notice (as defined in Section 11) (a “Default Conversion Revocation”) or rescind all or part of a Major Transaction Conversion Notice (as defined in Section 4) (a “Major Transaction Conversion Revocation”) or rescind all or part of the notice of Redemption, including but not limited to a notice of Mandatory Redemption (a “Redemption Revocation”), as applicable, by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Grid Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Grid Note and the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated damages described herein shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

13


(v) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion, or Upon Submission for Legend Removal. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates (without legends, if the Unrestricted Conditions have been met) by the Conversion Shares Deliver Deadline pursuant to Section 3(d)(iii), or if at any time the Holder submits shares of Common Stock for legend removal when the Unrestricted Conditions have been met, and the Company fails to deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends by the applicable Legend Removal Date, and if after such Conversion Shares Deliver Deadline or Legend Removal Date, as applicable, the 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 which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Conversion Shares Deliver Deadline or Legend Removal Date, as applicable (each, a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock so purchased 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 the Holder, if applicable, either reinstate (or if necessary, reissue) the portion of the Grid Note for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 3(d)(iii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of the Grid Note 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 Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, 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 Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Grid Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(vi) Surrender of Grid Note Upon Conversion; Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon Conversion of this Grid Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Grid Note to the Company unless all of this Grid Note is converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the Grid Note being converted to the Company promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the amount of this Grid Note that is so converted and the dates of such Conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Grid Note upon each such Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.

14


(vii) No Fractional Shares. If any Conversion of this Grid Note would result in a fractional share of Common Stock or the right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of this Grid Note shall be the next higher number of shares.

(xiii) Lost or Stolen Grid Notes. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Grid Note, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Grid Note, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Grid Note of like tenor and date.

(e) Legends.

(i) Restrictive Legends. The Holder understands that the Grid Notes and, until such time as Conversion Shares and any other Issued Common Shares (as defined in the Line of Credit Agreement) may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Conversion Shares and any other Issued Common Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Securities):

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT."

(ii) Removal of Legends. The Company will issue and deliver the Conversion Shares without restrictive legends (including the legend set forth above in this Section 3(e)), and will remove, or cause its Transfer Agent to remove at the Company’s expense, any restrictive legends on any Conversion Shares that contain restrictive legends (including the legend set forth above in this Section 3(e)), in each case when and as required under Section 6(a) of the Line of Credit Agreement. The Holder agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any.

15


(f) DTC Delivery. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the unlegended shares of Common Stock (the “Unlegended Shares”), provided the Company’s Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon request of the Holder, so long as the certificates therefor are not required to bear a legend and the Holder is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described herein shall likewise apply to the electronic transmittals described herein.

(g) Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the portion of the Grid Note covered thereby (other than the portion, if any, pursuant to the Conversion of which shares cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder's allocated portion of the Required Reserve Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder's rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Grid Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any Liquidated Damages or other remedies provided herein or in the Transaction Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Grid Note, including but not limited to the remedies provided in Section 3(d)(iv), Section 3(d)(vi), Section 11 and Section 14 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder initiates a Conversion Revocation, a Default Conversion Revocation or a Redemption Revocation pursuant to Section 3(d)(iv) hereof, the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Grid Note with respect to such unconverted portion of this Grid Note as specified in Section 3(d)(iv) and the Company shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted portion of this Grid Note to the Holder or, if the Grid Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of the Grid Note has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, the right to receive Liquidated Damages to the extent required hereby for such Event of Failure and any subsequent Event of Failure and the right to receive the Default Amount pursuant to Section 11 to the extent required thereby) for the Company's failure to convert this Grid Note.

(h) Pro Rata Conversion. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Grid Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Grid Notes submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from each holder of Grid Notes electing to have Grid Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder's portion of its Grid Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Grid Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Grid Notes submitted for conversion on such date.

16


Section 4. Rights Upon Major Transaction or Change of Entity Transaction.

(a) Definitions. For purposes hereof,

“Change of Entity Transaction” means (i) a consolidation, merger, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar event, in one or a series of transactions (A) following which the holders of Common Stock immediately preceding such consolidation, merger, change of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or event either (1) no longer hold a majority of the shares of Common Stock of the Company or (2) no longer have the ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of the Company or (B) as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into (or the shares of Common Stock become entitled to receive) the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or another entity.

“Sufficient Trading Characteristics” shall mean that the average daily dollar trading volume of the common stock of such entity on its primary exchange or market is equal to or in excess of $100,000 for the 90th through the 31st day prior to the public announcement of the transaction in respect of which this definition shall be applied.

“Permissible Change of Entity Transaction” shall mean a Change of Entity Transaction where the Successor Entity (as defined below) (A) is a publicly traded Company whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, (B) has Sufficient Trading Characteristics (as defined above) and (C) meets the Assumption Requirements (as required in Section 4(b) below), or any other Change of Entity Transaction with respect to which the Holder provides the Company with a Major Transaction Approval Notice (as defined in subsection (d) immediately below).

“Impermissible Change of Entity Transaction” shall mean a Change of Entity Transaction which does not qualify as a Permissible Change of Entity Transaction.

17


“Major Transaction” means

(i) an Impermissible Change of Entity Transaction; and

 (ii) the sale or transfer of more than 40%, in the aggregate, of the properties or assets of the Company to another Person or Persons in any rolling 12 month period (an “Asset Sale”); and

(iii) a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by the holders of more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(b) Assumption Upon Permissible Change of Entity Transaction. The Company shall not, so long as any of the Grid Notes remain outstanding, enter into or be party to a Change of Entity Transaction unless any Person purchasing the Company’s assets or Common Stock, or any successor entity resulting from such Change of Entity Transaction (in each case, an “Successor Entity”), assumes (an “Assumption”) in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the Grid Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Change of Entity Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Grid Notes in exchange for such Grid Notes a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Grid Note, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amount and interest rate of the Grid Notes held by such holder, having similar conversion rights as the Grid Notes (including but not limited to a similar Conversion Price and similar Conversion Price adjustment provisions) and having similar priority to the Grid Notes, and satisfactory to the Required Holders. Upon the occurrence of any Change of Entity Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Change of Entity Transaction, the provisions of the Grid Note referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under the Grid Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of a Change of Entity Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of the Grid Notes at any time after the consummation of the Change of Entity Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the conversion of the Grid Notes prior to such Change of Entity Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the Grid Note. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Change of Entity Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Grid Note. The requirements of this Section 4(b) are referred to herein as the “Assumption Requirements.”

18


(c) Notice of Transaction. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of a Major Transaction or Change of Entity Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a "Transaction Notice"), which notice shall specify the nature and terms of the proposed transaction (including notice of whether or not such transaction constitutes a Major Transaction) and nature of the Successor Entity (if any).

(d) Redemption Right Upon Major Transaction. At any time during the period beginning after the Holder's receipt of a Transaction Notice and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, the Holder may require the Company to redeem (a “Redemption Upon Major Transaction”) all or any portion of the Holder’s Grid Note by delivering written notice thereof ("Major Transaction Redemption Notice") to the Company, which Major Transaction Redemption Notice shall indicate the aggregate principal amount of Grid Notes (the “Redemption Principal Amount”) that the Holder is electing to be redeemed. Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder to the Company in writing, in the event that the holder does not provide a Major Transaction Redemption Notice to the Company, the Holder shall be deemed to have delivered a Major Transaction Redemption Notice, on the last day such notice is allowable, requiring the Company to redeem 100% of the Holder’s Grid Note. The Redemption Principal Amount of Grid Notes subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 4(d) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the "Major Transaction Redemption Price") equal to the greater of:

(i) the product of (A) the sum of the Redemption Principal Amount being redeemed and any accrued and unpaid Liquidated Damages and any other Required Cash Payments (such amounts in addition to the Redemption Principal Amount are referred to herein as the “Supplementary Amounts”), and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (x) the greater of (I) the Market Price of the Common Stock immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Major Transaction and (II) the Market Price on the date that the Major Transaction Redemption Price is paid to the Holder, by (y) the Conversion Price,

and

(ii) the sum of (A) the Major Transaction Redemption Premium multiplied by the Redemption Principal Amount being redeemed, plus (B) the Supplementary Amounts.

(e) Escrow; Payment of Major Transaction Redemption Price. The Company shall not effect a Major Transaction unless it shall first place, or shall cause the Successor Entity to place, into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the closing the Major Transaction (the “Major Transaction Escrow Deadline”), an amount equal to the Major Transaction Redemption Price. Concurrently upon closing of any Major Transaction, the Company shall pay or shall instruct the escrow agent to pay the Major Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder, which payment shall constitute a Redemption Upon Major Transaction of the Grid Note.

19


(f) Injunction. In the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major Transaction without placing the Major Transaction Redemption Price in escrow in accordance with subsection (e) above or without payment of the Major Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder upon consummation of such Major Transaction, the Buyer shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Major Transaction Redemption Price is paid to the Holder, in full.

(g) Mechanics of Redemptions Upon Major Transactions. Redemptions required by this Section 4 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to shareholders in connection with a Major Transaction. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4(g) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Grid Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, until the Major Transaction Redemption Price (together with any Supplementary Amounts thereon) is paid in full, the Redemption Principal Amount submitted for redemption under this Section and the Supplementary Amounts may be converted (a “Major Transaction Conversion”), in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock upon written notice (“Major Transaction Conversion Notice”) to the Company (or the Successor Entity, if applicable), or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of a Change of Entity Transaction (as defined above), into shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant to Section 4(b). Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder in the applicable Notice of Conversion, any principal amount of this Grid Note converted during the period from the date of the Major Transaction Redemption Notice until the date the Major Transaction Redemption Price is paid in full shall be considered to be a conversion (instead of a Redemption) of a portion of the Grid Note that would have been subject to such Redemption, and any amounts of this Grid Note converted from time to time during such period shall be converted in full into Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect, and the dollar amount so converted into Common Stock shall be deducted from the Redemption Principal Amount (as defined above) and any Supplementary Amounts that are subject to such redemption. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Grid Note under Section 4(d), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under Section 4(d) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

20


Section 5. Effect of Certain Events.

(a) Participation. The Holder, as the holder of the Grid Note, shall be entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if the Holder had completely converted the Grid Note into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on Conversion herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized and reserved to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock.

(b) Voting Rights. The Holder shall obtain common shareholder voting rights with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to Conversions of the Grid Note at any given time (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations).

(c) Rights Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete Conversion of the Grid Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Grid Note) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

Section 6. Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents and Certain Other Events; Notice of Adjustment; Notice Failure Adjustment. If the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 6 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company) for a consideration per share (the "New Issuance Price") less than a price (the "Applicable Price") equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a "Dilutive Issuance"), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. The adjustments required by this paragraph and by Sections 6(a) – 6(d) below are referred to in the singular, as a “Subsequent Issuance Adjustment,“ and collectively as “Subsequent Issuance Adjustments.” For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 6, the following shall be applicable:

21


(a) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 6(a), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.

(b) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 6(b), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. In the case of a Convertible Security which is accompanied by Options (collectively, a “Unit”), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security” shall equal (i) the consideration deemed received in exchange for the Convertible Security, as determined in accordance with subsection 6(d) below, divided by (ii) the total number of shares into which such Convertible Security is convertible or exchangeable (notwithstanding any contractual limitation on the timing or amount of conversions).

(c) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 6(c), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Grid Note are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 6 shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Conversion Shares.

22


(d) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for their Black Scholes value, and the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction will be deemed to have been issued or sold for the balance of the consideration received by the Company. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Weighted Average Price of such security on the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(e) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

23


(f) Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time prior to the date that all of the Grid Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share (the “Base Rights Offering Price”) that is lower than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced (but not increased) to the Base Rights Offering Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. No adjustment shall be made hereunder if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

(g) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time prior to the date that all of the Grid Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms, 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 or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (other than the Common Stock, which shall be subject to Section 6(a) – 6(d) above), 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 so distributed applicable to 1 outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holder describing the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to 1 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.

(h) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(i) Notice of Dilutive Issuances and Adjustments; Notice Failure Adjustment. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than one (1) Business Day following any Dilutive Issuance, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, exercise price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). In the event that the Company fails to provide the Holder with a Dilutive Issuance Notice within five (5) Business Days of any Dilutive Issuance (the “Dilutive Issuance Notice Deadline”), the Conversion Price shall be permanently reduced (but not increased) on the Dilutive Issuance Notice Deadline, and on the same day of each calendar month thereafter until such notice is given (each, a “Notice Failure Adjustment Date”), or in each case if not a business day, then on the next business day (each, a “Notice Failure Adjustment”) to a price equal to the lesser of (a) the Conversion Price then in effect or (b) 100% of the VWAP for five (5) trading day period immediately preceding the applicable Notice Failure Adjustment Date (collectively, the “Notice Failure Adjustment Price”).

24


(j) Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Grid Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Grid Note Register, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record 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 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 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 is entitled to convert this Grid Note during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

Section 7. Automatic Redemption at End of Term

(a) Automatic Redemption at End of Term. Any Grid Note that has not been submitted for Conversion into Common Stock and has not been subjected to a Default Notice by midnight, New York City time, on the Maturity Date (the “Automatic Redemption Date”), shall be automatically redeemed (“Automatic Redemption”) for a redemption price, in cash, equal to the outstanding Principal Amount of this Grid Note and any Liquidated Damages (the “Automatic Redemption Amount”). The Automatic Redemption Amount shall be due and payable within five (5) Trading Days of the Automatic Redemption Date.

25


Section 8. Senior Debt; Secured Obligation.

(a) Senior Debt; Priority. The Grid Notes shall constitute senior debt of the Company. There is no debt currently outstanding that is senior to the Grid Notes except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 8(a). All future debt issued by the Company or any Subsidiary shall be subordinated and junior to the Grid Notes. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, without the written permission of the Holder, issue any other debt that is senior to, or pari passu with, the Grid Notes. From the Original Issue Date of the Grid Notes through the date that all of the Grid Notes have been paid in full or converted in full, before entering into, or permitting any Subsidiary to enter into, any future debt with a third party, the Company shall first obtain a subordination agreement, satisfactory to Holder, from the proposed debt holder.

(b) Secured Obligation. The obligations of the Company under this Grid Note are secured by all assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Security Agreement (“Security Agreement”) of date even herewith, between the Company, certain of the Subsidiaries of the Company and the Secured Parties (as defined therein).

Section 9. Certain Negative Covenants; Misc. Without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, for so long as any of the Grid Notes remain Outstanding, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(a) (i) pay, declare or set apart for such payment, any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, property or other securities) on shares of capital stock or (ii) directly or indirectly or through any Subsidiary of the Company make any other payment or distribution in respect of its capital stock. For purposes hereof, each Grid Note or any portion thereof shall be deemed to be “Outstanding” until such time as it has been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with its terms.

(b) redeem, repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire (whether for cash or in exchange for property or other securities or otherwise) in any one transaction or series of related transactions any shares of capital stock of the Company or any warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire any such shares, other than as to the Conversion Shares as permitted under the Transaction Documents.

(c) by amendment of its charter documents, including but not limited to the Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Grid Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of the Grid Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of the Grid Note.

26


(d) other than Permitted Indebtedness (as defined herein), enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom (the “Indebtedness Negative Covenant”);

(e) other than Permitted Liens, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, "Liens") of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;

(f) enter into any transaction with any Affiliate (as defined in the Line of Credit Agreement) of the Company, except with respect to standard employment arrangements with officers and directors and employees of the Company;

(g) redeem, defease, repurchase, repay or make any payments in respect of, by the payment of cash or cash equivalents (in whole or in part, whether by way of open market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or otherwise), all or any portion of any Indebtedness, whether by way of payment in respect of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on such Indebtedness, if at the time such payment is due or is otherwise made or after giving effect to such payment, an event constituting, or that with the passage of time and without being cured would constitute, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(h) make any payment on any indebtedness owed to officers, directors or Affiliates; or

(i) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

Section 10. Events of Default.

Unless waived by the Required Holders, each of the following events shall be considered to be an "Event Of Default":

(a) Failure to Make Cash Payments When Due. The Company fails to pay (each, a “Payment Failure”) any cash payments due to the Holder under the terms of this Grid Note when due under this Grid Note, whether at maturity, upon mandatory prepayment, upon acceleration, upon an Event of Failure, or upon any Redemption (including but not limited to a Capital Raising Redemption) or otherwise or fails to pay any Liquidated Damages or other cash payments that are due and owing under this Grid Note, the Line of Credit Agreement, or any other Transaction Document when due, including but not limited to all Redemption Amounts, (each cash payment referred to above is referred to as a “Required Cash Payment”), or fails to pay any late fees accrued on any of the above, and such Payment Failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after the applicable due date; or

(f) Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company or any "significant Subsidiary" (as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X promulgated under the 1933 Act) of the Company, or the Company or any Significant Subsidiary shall otherwise be subject to a Bankruptcy Event; or

(h) Failure to Authorize and Reserve Common Stock. The Holder's Reserved Share Allocation is less than the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion of the full Conversion Amount of this Grid Note (without regard to any Beneficial Ownership Limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(a)(ii)), and such shortfall is not cured within ten (10) Business Days;

(i) Legend Removal Failure. A Legend Removal Failure (as defined below) occurs and remains uncured for a period of fifteen (15) Business days, where “Legend Removal Failure” means a failure by the Company to issue Conversion Shares or Payment Shares without restrictive legends or to remove restrictive legends from Conversion Shares or Payment Shares when so required (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof), in each case pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof, Section 6 of the Line of Credit Agreement or otherwise pursuant to this Grid Note, the Line of Credit Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; or

(j) Corporate Existence; Major Transaction. The Company has effected a Major Transaction without paying the Major Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder pursuant to Section 4(d) or, if the Holder did not elect a Redemption Upon Major Transaction (if applicable), the Company has failed to meet the Assumption Requirements of Section 4(b) prior to effecting a Change of Entity Transaction; or

(p) Failure to Perfect Security Interest.

Section 11. Mandatory Redemption; Posting of Bond.

(a) Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall promptly notify the Holder, in writing, anytime the Company becomes aware of events which constitute an Event of Default. If any Events of Default shall occur then, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at the option of the Holder, such option exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holders (the "Default Notice"), the Grid Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the Holder (a “Mandatory Redemption”), in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount (such amount referred to herein as the "Default Amount" or the “Mandatory Redemption Amount”) equal to the greater of (i) and (ii) immediately below:

(i) the Mandatory Redemption Premium, multiplied by the sum (such sum of (x), plus (y), plus (z) immediately below shall be referred to herein as the "Default Conversion Sum") of

(x) the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of this Grid Note, PLUS

30


(y) all accrued and unpaid Liquidated Damages and other Required Cash Payments, if any,

and

(ii) the Conversion Value of the Default Conversion Sum to be prepaid, where ”Conversion Value” means

(x) the Default Conversion Sum divided by the Conversion Price in effect on the date that the Company pays the Default Amount;

MULTIPLIED BY

(y) the greater of (i) the Market Price (as defined herein) for the Common Stock on the Default Notice Date or (ii) the Market Price on the date that the Company pays the Default Amount.

Notwithstanding the occurrence of an Event of Default, Liquidated Damages and any other Required Cash Payments shall continue to accrue. Five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Default Notice (the “Default Amount Due Date”), the Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. If the Company fails to pay the Default Amount by the Default Amount Due Date, (i) the Conversion Price shall be permanently decreased (but not increased)(each, a “Default Adjustment”) on the first Trading Day of each calendar month thereafter (each a “Default Adjustment Date”) until the Default Amount is paid in full, to a price equal to the lesser of (x) 90% of the Conversion Price in effect on the first such Default Adjustment Date, or (y) the lowest Market Price that has occurred on any Default Adjustment Date since the date that the Event of Default began and (ii) at any time thereafter, the Holder shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, so long as the Company remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Company, upon written notice (“Default Conversion Notice”) (which may be given one or more times, from time to time anytime after the Default Amount Due Date), to immediately issue, in lieu of all or any specified portion (the “Specified Portion”) of the unpaid portion (the “Unpaid Portion”) of the Default Amount (together with any Late Payment Fees accrued thereon), a number of shares (the “Default Shares”) of Common Stock, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation then in effect, equal to the Specified Portion of the Default Amount (together with any accrued Late Payment Fees thereon) divided by the Conversion Price in effect on the date such shares are issued to the Holder, PROVIDED THAT, the Holder may require that such payment of shares be made in one or more installments at such time and in such amounts as Holder chooses. The Default shares are due within five (5) Business Days of the date that the Holder delivers a Default Conversion Notice to the Company (the “Default Share Delivery Deadline”).

31


To the extent redemptions required by this Section 11 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Grid Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Grid Note submitted for redemption, the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the principal amount of the Grid Note submitted for redemption by such Holder relative to the total principal amount of Grid Notes submitted for redemption by all Holders. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Grid Note under this Section 11, the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any Mandatory Redemption Amount due under this Section 11 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

The Holder shall not be entitled to receive Default Shares on a given date if and to the extent that such issuance would cause the Beneficial Ownership Limitation then in effect to be exceeded. If and to the extent that the issuance of Default Shares with respect to a given Specified Portion would result in a violation of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then that particular Specified Portion shall be automatically reduced to a value that would cause the number of Default Shares to be issued to equal the Maximum Percentage, and the amount of such reduction shall be added back to the Unpaid Portion of the Default Amount.

Upon the payment in full of the Mandatory Redemption Amount, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Grid Note to or as directed by the Company (or, if applicable, shall submit a signed notice that such Grid Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed). In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Grid Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 11. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(b) Posting of Bond. In the event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder or any Event of Default occurs under any of the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Line of Credit Agreement), then the Company may not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or otherwise) or justification to such Event of Default any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond (a “Surety Bond”) for the benefit of such Holder in an amount equal to the aggregate Surety Bond Value (as defined below) of all of the Holder’s Grid Note (the “Bond Amount”), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.

32


For purposes hereof, a “Lawsuit” shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Line of Credit Agreement).

“Grid Note Market Value” shall mean the outstanding principal amount of this Grid Note, plus any accrued and unpaid, Liquidated Damages and other Required Cash Payments, divided by the lowest Conversion Price in effect at any time during the period between the applicable Event of Default and the filing of the Surety Bond required by this subsection (the “Surety Bond Pricing Period”), all multiplied by the highest Closing Price during the Surety Bond Pricing Period.

“Surety Bond Value,” for each Grid Note, shall mean 130% of the highest Grid Note Market Value (as defined above) of each of the Holder’s Grid Note (where, in each case, such highest market value represents the highest value determined during the period from the date of the subject Event of Default through the Trading Day preceding the date that such Surety Bond goes into effect).

(c) Injunction and Posting of Bond. In the event that the Event of Default referred to in subsection 11(b) above pertains to the Company’s failure to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to a Grid Note Conversion, , legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining Conversion of all or part of said Grid Note shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount (as described above), which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.

(d) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company's receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Grid Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence of an Event of Default or a Major Transaction (each, an "Other Redemption Notice"), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by facsimile a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Company's receipt of the Holder's Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company's receipt of the Holder's Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Grid Notes (including the Holder) based on the principal amount of the Grid Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.

33


Section 12. Holder’s Redemptions.

(a) Mechanics of Holder’s Redemptions. In the event that the Holder has sent a Major Transaction Redemption Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 4(d) or a Default Notice pursuant to Section 11(a), respectively (each, a “Redemption Notice”), the Holder shall promptly submit this Grid Note to the Company. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the outstanding principal amount of this Grid Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Grid Note representing the outstanding principal amount which has not been redeemed.

(b) Maximum Interest Rate. To the extent that the redemption premium for any Redemption is deemed to constitute a payment of interest under applicable law, the amount of such premium shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

Section 13. Late Payment Fees.

Any accrued amount under the Transaction Documents, whether principal, , Liquidated Damages, a Redemption Amount, Default Amount, or otherwise, which is not paid when within three Business Days of the date due shall result in a late charge being incurred and payable by the Company in an amount equal to interest on such amount at the rate of eighteen (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law which shall accrued from the date such amount was due until the same is paid in full ("Late Payment Fees").

Section 14. Liquidated Damages; Injunction.

(a) Payment of Liquidated Damages. The accrued Liquidated Damages for each Event of Failure shall be paid in cash on or before the fifth (5th) day of each month following a month in which Liquidated Damages accrued, PROVIDED that, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Company), if such payments are not paid within the time period specified, at the option of the Holder, such payments shall be added to the outstanding principal amount of this Grid Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Grid Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock at the applicable Conversion Price in accordance with the terms of this Grid Note. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Liquidated Damages) for the Company's Event of Failure, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). ). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Liquidated Damages or pursuant to a Redemption shall give rise to liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the Holder, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length. Liquidated Damages are in addition to any other payments that are or become due hereunder and any Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive upon Conversion of this Grid Note.

34


(b) Maximum Rate of Interest. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.

Section 15. Dispute Resolution.

(l) Remedies. The remedies provided in this Grid Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Grid Note and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Grid Note or the Transaction Documents.

26


(iii)  

Buyers’ Right of Participation in Future Financings.

(A)

From the date hereof and during the period that any amount of any Grid Note is outstanding, upon any financing by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Subsequent Financing”) of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in Section 1(a)), excluding any securities issued pursuant to the Offering described in this Agreement, each Buyer shall have the right to participate (the “Buyer’s Right of Participation”) in up to the Buyer’s Participation Maximum (as defined below) of the Subsequent Financing, provided that any securities issued to the Buyer hereunder, and any securities issuable pursuant to the conversion or exercise of such securities, shall be subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

(B)

At least ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Buyer a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (an “Advance Notice of Financing”), which Advance Notice of Financing shall ask such Buyer if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”).  Upon the request of a Buyer, and only upon a request by such Buyer, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Buyer.  The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder, the Person with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected, and attached to which shall be a term sheet or similar document relating thereto and complete, definitive legal documentation (“Legal Documents”) for the proposed Subsequent Financing.    

(C)

Any Buyer desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice (“Participation Notice”) to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such Buyer has received the Advance Notice of Financing that the Buyer is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the Buyer’s participation, and that the Buyer has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.  If the Company receives no notice from a Buyer as of such fifth (5th) Trading Day, such Buyer shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.  Buyer shall not be obligated to participate in a Subsequent Offering after delivering a Participation Notice to the Company until after the Buyer has reviewed and agreed to the final Legal Documents for such offering.

(D)

If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the requesting Buyers have received the Advance Notice of Financing, notifications by the Buyers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and to the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.  

27


(E)

If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the Buyers have received the Advance Notice of Financing, the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Buyers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Subsequent Financing, each such Buyer shall have the right to purchase up to (the “Buyer’s Participation Maximum”) (a) their Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Subsequent Financing, plus (b) a pro rata amount (based upon the relative amount of the participating Buyers’ respective Pro Rata Portions) of the aggregate of the unused Pro Rata Portions of the other Buyers.   For purposes hereof, “Pro Rata Portion” shall mean the percentage listed next to each Buyer’s name on the Schedule of Buyers attached hereto.

(F)  

For purposes of clarity, in the event that there is any amount of a Subsequent Financing that is not requested to be purchased by a Buyer, then any other Buyer shall have the right to purchase such remaining amount of the Subsequent Financing.

(G)

The Company must provide the Buyers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Buyers will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4(d)(iii), if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

(H)  

The Company and the Buyers agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, (x) neither the agreement regarding the Subsequent Financing (the "Subsequent Placement Agreement") with respect to such Subsequent Financing nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the "Subsequent Placement Documents") shall include any term or provisions whereby any Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions in trading as to any securities of the Company owned by such Buyer prior to such Subsequent Financing, and (y) the Buyers shall be entitled to the same registration rights, if any, provided to other investors in the Subsequent Placement.

(iv)  

Most Favored Nation (MFN) Securities Exchange Provision.  From the date hereof until the date when such Buyer holds less than 20% in principal amount of Grid Notes originally purchased by such Buyer hereunder, if the Company effects a Subsequent Financing, each Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, to exchange (an “MFN Exchange”) all or some of the Grid Notes then held by such Buyer for any securities or units issued in a Subsequent Financing on a $1.00 for $1.00 basis based on the outstanding principal amount of such Grid Notes, along with any liquidated damages and other amounts owing thereon, and the effective price at which such securities were sold in such Subsequent Financing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this Section 4(d)(iv) shall not apply with respect to (a) an Exempt Issuance or (b) a firm commitment underwritten public offering of Common Stock with a reputable national underwriter. The Company shall provide each Buyer with notice of any such Subsequent Financing in the manner set forth in Section 4(d)(iii).  Following such an exchange, the Holder shall receive any warrants, options or other ancillary securities that normally accompany the securities being purchased and sold in the Subsequent Financing.  

28


(v)  

Injunctive Relief.   The remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including but not limited to a breach of its obligations under this Subsection 4(d) hereof, will cause irreparable harm to each Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including but not limited to a breach of its obligations under this Subsection 4(d) hereof, will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, that each Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies in law or in equity, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure any breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including but not limited to a breach of its obligations under this Subsection 4(d) hereof, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including but not limited to its obligations under this Subsection 4(d), without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.  Specifically, the Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive relief to cause the court to rescind any financing or financings or other transactions between the Company and a third party that are in violation of this Subsection 4(d).

(e)

  Authorization And Reservation of Shares.

(i)  

Authorization and Reservation Requirements. The Company represents that it has at least 200,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock and covenants that it will initially reserve (the “Initial Share Reservation”) from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 150% of the Original Principal Amount of the Grid Notes, divided by the Conversion Price in effect on the date of the Initial Share Reservation, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Grid Notes.  The Company further covenants that, beginning on the date hereof, and continuing throughout the period that any Grid Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved (together with the Initial Share Reservation Requirement, collectively referred to as the “Ongoing Share Reservation Requirement”) for the purpose of issuance, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the full conversion or exercise of the outstanding portion of the Grid Notes and issuance of the Conversion Shares in connection therewith (based on the Conversion Price (as defined in the Grid Notes) in effect from time to time. The Company shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Grid Notes without the consent of the Buyer. The Company shall at all times maintain the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved for issuance at no less than 100% of the number that is then actually issuable upon full conversion of the Grid Notes (based on the Conversion Price (as defined in the Grid Notes) in effect from time to time) (without regard to any limitations on the number of shares issuable upon the Conversion of the Grid Notes).

29


(ii)  

Stockholder Approval.  If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is below 100% of the number of Conversion Shares issued and issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Grid Notes (based on the Conversion Price (as defined in the Grid Notes) in effect from time to time), together with the Payment Shares and any other shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company's obligations under this Section 4(e), in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its best efforts to obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares.

(f)   

Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Trading Activity.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary, it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that (i) none of the Purchasers has been asked to agree by the Company, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term, (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities, (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, may presently have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (a) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Underlying Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined and (b) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted.  The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

(g)    

Listing.  The Company will use its best efforts to obtain and, so long as any Buyer owns any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common Stock on an Eligible Market (whichever Eligible Market is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock is referred to herein as the "Principal Market"), and will comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and such exchanges, as applicable.

No Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the 1933 Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities to the Buyers in a manner that would require the registration under the 1933 Act of the sale of the Securities to the Buyers or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market, except where such integration (i) will not adversely affect the private offering exemption from registration for this Offering or change the deemed date of Closing of this Offering, (ii) will not cause the Rule 144 holding period for any of the Securities issued or issuable to the Buyers to be delayed or extended and, (iii) will not otherwise adversely affect the Buyers or the Securities issuable hereunder.

 (j)

Limitation on Sale or Disposition of Intellectual Property.   So long as any portion of the Grid Notes remain outstanding, so long as the Company shall have any obligation under the Grid Notes remains outstanding, the Corporation shall not sell, convey, dispose of, spin off or assign any or all of its Intellectual Property (including but not limited to the Intellectual Property set forth in Schedules 3(j)(1) and (2) hereof), or any of the Intellectual Property Rights, in each case without Buyer’s written consent, provided that the Company may, without the Buyer’s written consent, enter into one or more licensing agreements with respect to its Intellectual Property so long as such licensing agreements exceed $5 million per calendar year and so long as such agreements are not with any affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D) of the Company or with any relative of, or entity controlled by, or any entity 10% or more of which is owned by, any officer, director, employee or former employee of the Company, provided, further, that the Company shall not be subject to the restrictions of this Section 4(j) if the cash consideration received by the Company in exchange for such Intellectual Property Rights exceeds $50 million.  

(k)

Limitation On Rate of Issuance of Shares.     The parties agree that, if by virtue of this AGREEMENT, or by virtue of any other agreement between the parties, Holder becomes entitled to receive from the Company a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (collectively, “Issuable Securities”), such that the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned by Holder and any applicable affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Grid Note, or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of Holder subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein)(collectively, the “Beneficially Owned Shares”) and (2) the number Issuable Securities described above, with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), then the Company, following the receipt of written instructions from the Holder as to the number of shares of Common Stock that can be so issued, shall immediately deliver to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, that can be issued without exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall not issue shares of Common Stock to the Buyer in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

31


For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) beneficial ownership shall be determined by the Holder in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, and PROVIDED THAT the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be conclusively satisfied if the applicable notice from Holder includes a signed representation by the Holder that the issuance of the shares in such notice will not violate the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall not be entitled to require additional documentation of such satisfaction.

The parties agree that, in the event that the Company receives any tender offer or any offer to enter into a merger with another entity whereby the Company shall not be the surviving entity (an “Offer”), or in the event the Company is issuing Default Shares (as defined in the Grid Note) to the Buyer, then “4.99%” shall be automatically revised immediately after such offer to read “9.99%” each place it occurs in the first two paragraphs of this Section 4(n) above.  Notwithstanding the above, Holder shall retain the option to either exercise or not exercise its option(s) to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof after an Offer.  In addition, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(k) may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not less than 4.99% and not in excess of 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 Grid Note held by the Holder as applicable, and the provisions of this Section 4(k) shall continue to apply, provided that, if an Event of Default occurs under the Grid Note, thereafter the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this section may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, to change the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not less than 4.99% (and not limited to 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 this Grid Note held by the Holder and the provisions of this section shall continue to apply.  The limitations on conversion set forth in this subsection are referred to as the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation.”  Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such Holder.  

The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(k) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

32


Maximum Exercise of Rights. In the event the Buyer notifies the Company in writing that the exercise of the rights described herein, or the issuance of Payment Shares or other shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder under the terms of the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Issuable Shares”) would result in the issuance of an amount of Common Stock of the Company that would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to a Buyer calculated in the manner described in this Section 4(j) of this Agreement, then the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to such Buyer will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Buyer is able to beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the maximum amount set forth calculated in the manner described in herein. The determination of when such Common Stock may be issued shall be made by each Buyer as to only such Buyer.

(l)

Equal Treatment of Buyers.  The terms of Securities issued to Buyers per the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall be identical in all material respects.  In addition, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration (immediate or contingent), whether by way of interest, fee, payment for the redemption, conversion of the Grid Notes, or otherwise, to any Buyer or holder of Securities, for or as an inducement to, or in connection with the solicitation of, any consent, waiver or amendment. of any terms or provisions of the Transaction Documents, unless such consideration is required to be paid to all Buyers or holders of Securities bound by such consent, waiver or amendment.  The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem any Securities unless such offer of redemption is made pro rata to all Buyers or holders of Securities, as the case may be, on identical terms.  For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted by the Company to each Buyer of Securities and negotiated separately by each Buyer, is intended for the Company to treat the Buyers as a class, and shall not in any way be construed as the Buyers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

(m)   

Legal And Due Diligence Fees.  The Company shall pay to BridgePointe Master Fund Ltd. (the “Lead Investor”) a non-accountable cash fee of $5,000 (which shall be paid at Closing)( the “Lead Investor’s Fee”) as reimbursement for legal services rendered by its attorneys in connection with this Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Grid Notes and as reimbursement for due diligence expenses.  The Lead Investor may withhold such amount out of the Purchase Price for its Grid Note.

(n)

(o)  

Non-Public Information.  The Company covenants and agrees that from and after the date hereof, neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will knowingly provide any Buyer or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Buyer shall have executed a written agreement (a “Non-Public Information Agreement”) regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.  The Company understands and confirms that each Buyer shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.  In the event that the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, provides any Buyer or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes material non-public information without obtaining a Non-Public Information Agreement from the Buyer, in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the Transaction Documents, the Company shall publicly disclose any material, non-public information in a Form 8-K within five (5) Business Days of the date that it discloses such information to the Buyer.  In the event that the Company discloses any material, non-public information to the Buyer without an accompanying  Non-Public Information Agreement and fails to publicly file a Form 8-K in accordance with the above, a Buyer, upon three (3) Business Days advance written notice to the Company, shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material, nonpublic information without the prior approval by the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents.  No Buyer shall have any liability to the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders or agents, for any such disclosure.  The Company understands and confirms that each Buyer shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

34


(r)

Pledge of Securities.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by a Buyer   in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities.  The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Buyer effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, Section 2(e) hereof; provided that a Buyer and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Section 2(e) hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Securities to such pledgee.  The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a Buyer.

5.  

SECURITY; SENIOR DEBT.  The Grid Notes are secured by the Security Agreement of the same date. Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 5 annexed hereto, the Company hereby represents that the Holder has a senior lien on the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), and agrees not to grant any liens on the Collateral, except for Permitted Liens.  From the Original Issue Date (as defined in the Grid Notes) of the Grid Notes through the date that all of the Grid Notes have been paid in full or converted in full, will not issue nor permit any Subsidiary to issue any securities or incur any indebtedness that is senior to or pari passu with the Grid Notes and, before entering into any future debt with a third party or permitting any Subsidiary to enter into any future debt with a third party (unless the issuance of such debt is otherwise prohibited under the terms of the Transaction Documents), the Company shall first obtain a subordination agreement, satisfactory to Buyer, from the proposed debt holder.  The Company agrees to take all necessary actions to assist the Holder in perfecting the Holder’s lien on each piece of Collateral within fifteen (15) days of the date hereof, including but not limiting to signing and delivering the appropriate forms.  

The Company hereby represents that, to its knowledge except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 5 annexed hereto, there are no liens or encumbrances on the Intellectual Property (as defined in Section 3(j)) or the Collateral.  The Company agrees that from the Original Issue Date of the Grid Notes through the date that all of the Grid Notes have been paid in full or converted in full (the “Covered Period”), the Company shall not enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance (collectively, “Liens”) upon or in the Intellectual Property or the Collateral owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and shall not assign or transfer any interest in the Patents owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  In the event that the Company attempts to place any Lien or Liens on the Intellectual Property or the Collateral or attempts to assign or transfer any interest in the Intellectual Property or the Collateral during the Covered Period, the Buyer shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent such Lien or transfer. Before entering into any future debt with a third party, the Company shall first obtain a subordination agreement, satisfactory to Buyer, from the proposed debt holder.

6.   

LEGENDS.

(a)  

The Conversion Shares, together with any other shares of Common Stock that are issued or issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents shall be referred to herein as the “Issued Common Shares.”  Certificates evidencing the Issued Common Shares shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth in Section 3(e) of the Grid Notes): (i) following any sale of such Issued Common Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) if such Issued Common Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the issuance of Issued Common Shares without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of Issued Common Shares, then such Issued Common Shares shall be issued free of all legends.  The Company agrees that at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 6(a), it will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by a Buyer to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Issued Common Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver, or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver at the Company’s expense, to such Buyer a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  

(b)   

In addition to such Buyer’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Buyer, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 6(a), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend (the “Legend Removal Failure Liquidated Damages”).  Nothing herein shall limit such Buyer’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Buyer shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

(c)   

Each Buyer, severally and not jointly with the other Buyers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 6 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that each Buyer will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

Indemnification.  The Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and all its respective officers, directors, employees, investors, agents, members and managers (the “Indemnified Party”) for any loss or damage, including without limitation, the fees, costs, and disbursements of legal counsel, arising as a result of or related to any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof or any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, including advancement of expenses as they are incurred with respect to claims by third parties.

Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof and the basis hereunder upon which a claim for indemnification is asserted, but the failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. In the event of the commencement of any such action, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal expenses (including attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements) subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.

41


As to cases in which the Indemnifying Party has assumed and is providing the defense for the Indemnified Party, the control of such defense shall be vested in the Indemnifying Party; provided that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall be required prior to any settlement of such case or action, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. As to any action, the party which is controlling such action shall provide to the other party reasonable information (including reasonable advance notice of all proceedings and depositions in respect thereto) regarding the conduct of the action and the right to attend all proceedings and depositions in respect thereto through its agents and attorneys, and the right to discuss the action with counsel for the party controlling such action.

(l)   

Publicity. The Company and the Buyer shall have the right to review a reasonable period of time before issuance of any press releases, filings with the SEC, FINRA or any stock exchange or interdealer quotation system, or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Buyer, to make any press release or public filings with respect to such transactions as is required by applicable law and regulations (although whenever possible the Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release prior to its release and shall be provided with a copy thereof and be given an opportunity to comment thereon). The Company agrees that it will not disclose, and will not include in any public announcement, the name of the Buyers without the consent of the Buyers unless and until such disclosure is required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such requirement.

(m)

Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(n)

No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(o)   

Liquidated Damages.  The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

42


(p)

Remedies. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies in law or in equity, to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure any breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(p)

Breach of Agreement.  Any breach by the Company of the agreements or covenants in this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under the Grids Notes and under the 2008 Debentures.

10.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE

     SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE, dated as of October 8, 2009 (this “Guarantee”), made by each of the signatories hereto (together with any other entity that may become a party hereto as provided herein, the “Guarantors”), in favor of the purchasers signatory (the “Purchasers” or the “Secured Parties”) to that certain Line of Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between ICP Solar Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and the Purchasers.

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Line of Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Purchasers (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company has agreed to sell and issue to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers have agreed to purchase from the Company the Company’s Grid Notes, due October 1, 2010, and to be issued within six months from the date of this Agreement in the original aggregate principal amount of up to $888,000 (the “Grid Notes”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor will directly benefit from the extension of credit to the Company represented by the issuance of the Grid Notes; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Purchasers as follows:

     1.   Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Purchase Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guarantee, and Section and Schedule references are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified. The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. The following terms shall have the following meanings:

     “Debtors” means the Company and any Guarantor.

     Guarantee” means this Subsidiary Guarantee, as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

     Obligations” means, in addition to all other costs and expenses of collection incurred by Purchasers in enforcing any of such Obligations and/or this Guarantee, all of the liabilities and obligations (primary, secondary, direct, contingent, sole, joint or several) due or to become due, or that are now or may be hereafter contracted or acquired, or owing to, of any Debtor to the Secured Parties, including, without limitation, all obligations under this Agreement, the Grid Notes, this Guarantee and any other instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, in each case, whether now or hereafter existing, voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from any of the Secured Parties as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise as such obligations may be amended, supplemented, converted, extended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “Obligations” shall include, without limitation: (i) Principal Amount of the Grid Notes (as defined in the Grid Notes) and the loans extended pursuant thereto; (ii) any and all other fees, indemnities, costs, obligations and liabilities of the Debtors from time to time under or in connection with this Agreement, the Grid Notes, the Guarantee, the other Transaction Documents and any other instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith; and (iii) all amounts (including but not limited to post-petition interest) in respect of the foregoing that would be payable but for the fact that the obligations to pay such amounts are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Debtor.

1


     “Transaction Documents” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Purchase Agreement.

2. Guarantee.


  (a) Guarantee.

     (i) The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantee to each Purchaser and each of their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Company when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.

     (ii) Anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws, including laws relating to the insolvency of debtors, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or laws affecting the rights of creditors generally (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2(b)).

2


     (iii) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Purchasers hereunder.

     (iv) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full.

     (v) No payment made by the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Purchasers from the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full.

     (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any defaulted non-monetary Obligations the specific performance of which by the Guarantors is not reasonably possible (e.g. the issuance of the Company's Common Stock), the Guarantors shall only be liable for making the Purchasers whole on a monetary basis for the Company's failure to perform such Obligations in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

     (b) Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor's right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2(c). The provisions of this Section 2(b) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to any Purchaser, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to each Purchaser for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

3


     (c) No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Purchaser, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Purchaser against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by any Purchaser for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Purchasers by the Company on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Purchasers, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Purchasers in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Purchasers, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Purchasers may determine.

     (d) Amendments, Etc. With Respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Purchasers may be rescinded by the Purchasers and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Purchasers, and the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Purchasers may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Purchasers for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Purchaser shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by them as security for the Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

4


     (e) Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Purchasers upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Company and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives to the extent permitted by law diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Company or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Purchasers, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance or fraud or misconduct by any Purchasers) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company or any other Person against any Purchasers, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Company or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, a Purchasers may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as they may have against the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by such Purchaser to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Purchasers against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

     (f) Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Purchasers upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

5


     (g) Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Purchasers without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. dollars at the address set forth or referred to in the Purchase Agreement.

     3. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Purchasers as of the date hereof:

     (a) Organization and Qualification. The Guarantor is a corporation, duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction set forth on Schedule 1, with the requisite corporate power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. The Guarantor has no subsidiaries other than those identified as such on the Disclosure Schedules to the Purchase Agreement. The Guarantor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not, individually or in the aggregate, (x) adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of this Guarantee in any material respect, (y) have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects, or financial condition of the Guarantor or (z) adversely impair in any material respect the Guarantor's ability to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under this Guarantee (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

     (b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Guarantor has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee, and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Guarantee by the Guarantor and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Guarantor. This Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

     (c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee by the Guarantor and the consummation by the Guarantor of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws or (ii) conflict with, constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Guarantor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Guarantor is subject (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any material property or asset of the Guarantor is bound or affected, except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. The business of the Guarantor is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, except for violations which, individually or in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect.

6


     (d) Consents and Approvals. The Guarantor is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guarantee.

     (e) Purchase Agreement. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Purchase Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct as of each time such representations are deemed to be made pursuant to such Purchase Agreement, and the Purchasers shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein, provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty as they relate to such Guarantor to the Company's knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 3, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor's knowledge.

     (f) Foreign Law. Each Guarantor has consulted with appropriate foreign legal counsel with respect to any of the above representations for which non-U.S. law is applicable. Such foreign counsel have advised each applicable Guarantor that such counsel knows of no reason why any of the above representations would not be true and accurate. Such foreign counsel were provided with copies of this Subsidiary Guarantee and the Transaction Documents prior to rendering their advice.

4. Covenants.

     (a) Each Guarantor covenants and agrees with the Purchasers that, from and after the date of this Guarantee until the Obligations shall have been paid in full, such Guarantor shall take, and/or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each commercially reasonable action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Guarantor.

7


     (b) So long as any of the Obligations are outstanding, unless Purchasers holding at least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Grid Notes shall otherwise consent in writing, each Guarantor will not directly or indirectly on or after the date of this Guarantee:

     i. except with respect to Permitted Indebtedness, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;

     ii. except with respect to Permitted Liens, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any liens of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;

     iii. amend its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents so as to adversely affect any rights of the Holder hereunder;

     iv. repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of its securities or debt obligations;

     v. pay cash dividends on any equity securities of the Company;

     vi. enter into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Guarantor which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing of the Company with the Commission, unless such transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis and expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company (even if less than a quorum otherwise required for board approval); or

     vii. enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

5. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in writing signed by the Required Holders (as defined in the Grid Note) and the Guarantor.

8


     (b) Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Purchasers or any Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in the Purchase Agreement, provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 5(b).

     (c) No Waiver By Course Of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. The Purchasers shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 5(a)), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default under the Transaction Documents or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Purchasers, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Purchasers of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Purchasers would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

     (d) Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

     (i) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, or reimburse the Purchasers for all their respective costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Purchasers.

     (ii) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Purchasers harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee.

     (iii) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Purchasers harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Guarantee to the extent the Company would be required to do so pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

9


     (iv) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

     (e) Successor and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of each Purchaser and each of their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Purchasers.

     (f) Set-Off. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Purchasers at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default under any of the Transaction Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits, credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by any Purchasers to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Purchaser may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Purchasers hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Purchaser against such Guarantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Purchase Agreement, any other Transaction Document or otherwise, as the Purchaser may elect, whether or not such Purchaser have made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. A Purchaser shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Purchaser of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Purchasers under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which any Purchaser may have.

     (g) Counterparts. This Guarantee may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Guarantee on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

     (h) Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10


     (i) Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

     (j) Integration. This Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents represent the agreement of the Guarantors and the Purchasers with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Purchasers relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Transaction Documents.

     (k) Governing Law. THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.
