6.	Based on the foregoing and subject to the reservations set out below and subject to any matter not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that:-

(a)

The Company is a limited liability company, duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of Bermuda, possessing perpetual corporate existence with the capacity to sue and be sued in its own name. No steps have been taken or are being taken to appoint a liquidator over or to wind up the Company and to the best of our knowledge no steps have been or are being taken to appoint a receiver.

(b)

The Company has the necessary corporate power to enter into and to perform its obligations under the Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and the Company has taken all necessary corporate and other action to authorise the entry into and performance of the Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.

(c)	The obligations of the Company as set out in the Documents constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms and would be so treated in the courts of Bermuda. The Documents are in proper form for enforcement in such courts.

(d)

The Company having been designated as non-resident for the purposes of the Exchange Control Act, 1972, it is not necessary for the consent of, licence from, or exemption by any governmental or administrative body or authority of Bermuda to be obtained to enable the Company to enter into and perform its obligations as set out in the Documents.

(e)

The execution and delivery of, the performance of the obligations under, and compliance with the relevant provisions of, the Documents by the Company will not (i) contravene any existing applicable law, statute, rule or regulation of Bermuda or any judgment, decree or permit of Bermuda to which the Company is subject, (ii) contravene or conflict with any provision of the Company’s Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws or (iii) contravene any provision of any kind under Bermuda law imposing a limit upon borrowings by the Company, or upon the powers of the Company’s Directors to borrow on such facilities.

ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD.

(f)

Subject to paragraphs 6(g) and 6(l) and except as provided in this paragraph, to ensure the validity and enforceability of the Documents in Bermuda, it is not necessary that they be registered in any register kept by, or filed with, or recorded or notarised in any governmental authority or regulatory body in Bermuda, or that any other instrument relating thereto be signed, delivered, filed, registered or recorded or that any tax or duty be paid or any other action whatever be taken in Bermuda.

(g)

To the extent that the Documents create or result in the creation of a charge over the assets of the Company under the governing law of the Documents, such charge is, or will become, registerable in Bermuda under Part V of the Companies Act, 1981 upon payment of a registration fee. Registration is not compulsory and there is no time limit within which registration must be effected. However, in the event that questions of priority fall to be determined by reference to Bermuda law, any charge registered will have priority based on the date that it is registered and not on the date of its creation.

(h)

Subject to paragraphs 6(f), 6(g) and 6(l), all authorizations, approvals, consents, licences, exemptions, filings, registrations, notarisation and other requirements of governmental, judicial and public bodies and authorities of or in Bermuda required or advisable in connection with the entry into, performance, validity and enforceability of the Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby have been obtained or effected and are in full force and effect.

(i)	The obligations of the Company under the Documents rank at least pari passu in priority with all its other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations save those preferred by statute.

(j)

All amounts payable by the Company under the Documents may be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any taxes imposed, assessed or levied by Bermuda or any authority thereof or therein nor are any taxes imposed in Bermuda on, or by virtue of the execution or delivery of the Documents.

(k)	No stamp or registration duty or similar taxes or charges are payable in Bermuda in respect of the Documents.

(l)

A final and conclusive judgment in the courts of the United States of America and The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, as the case may be, against the Company under the Documents under which a sum of money is payable (not being a sum of money payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature, in respect of a fine or other penalty, or in respect of multiple damages as defined in The Protection of Trading Interests Act 1981) would be enforced as a debt against the Company,

ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD.

[ ] 2009

Page 6 of 10

upon the filing of the certified judgment with the Supreme Court of Bermuda, by an action in the Supreme Court of Bermuda without re-examination of the merits of the case under the common law doctrine of obligation, provided that the court which gave the judgment was competent to hear the action in accordance with private international law principles as applied in Bermuda and that such judgment was not obtained by fraud or that its enforcement would not be contrary to public policy in Bermuda or that the proceedings in which the same was obtained were not contrary to natural justice.


(m)	(i)	The choice of the laws of the State of New York to govern the Documents is a valid choice of law under Bermuda law assuming such choice of law is a valid choice under the laws of the State of New York, and the laws of the State of New York will accordingly be applied by the courts in Bermuda if the Documents or any claim thereunder comes under their jurisdiction upon proof of the relevant provisions of the laws of the State of New York; and

		(ii) The submission by the Company to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America and The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, as the case may be, is valid and binding upon the Company assuming that such submission is accepted by the courts of the United States of America and The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, as the case may be.

(n)	Neither the Company nor any of its assets is entitled to immunity in Bermuda on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action or proceedings (which shall include, without limitation, suit, attachment prior to judgment, execution or other enforcement).

(o)	ThaiLin will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled, carrying on business or subject to taxation in Bermuda by reason only of the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance, enforcement of and/or receipt of any payment due from the Company under the Documents.

(p)	It is not necessary under Bermuda law (i) in order to enable ThaiLin to enforce its rights under the Documents or (ii) by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of the Documents by ThaiLin, that it be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in Bermuda.

7.	Our reservations are as follows:-

ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD.

[ ] 2009

Page 7 of 10

(a)

We express no opinion as to whether specific performance or injunctive relief, being equitable remedies, would necessarily be available in respect of any of the obligations of the Company under the Documents. In particular, we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any present or future waiver of any provision of law (whether substantive or procedural) or of any right or remedy which might otherwise be available presently or in the future under the Documents.

(b)

The obligations of the Company under the Documents will be subject to any laws from time to time in effect relating to bankruptcy or liquidation or any other laws or other legal procedures affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and may also be the subject of a statutory limitation of the time within which proceedings may be brought. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, we express no opinion as to whether any contractual right of set-off contained in the Documents will conflict with the statutory right of set-off applicable in an insolvent winding up of the Company.

(c)

The enforcement of a judgment pursuant to paragraph 6(l) above involves the conversion of the judgment debt into Bermuda dollars as of the date of the foreign court judgment. Execution of such a judgment against assets situated in Bermuda may involve the conversion of those assets into Bermuda dollars but the Bermuda Monetary Authority has indicated that its present policy is to give the necessary consents to enable recovery to be made in the currency of the debt.

(d)	Where an obligation is to be performed in a jurisdiction other than Bermuda, the courts of Bermuda may refuse to enforce it to the extent that such performance would be illegal under the laws of or contrary to the public policy of such other jurisdiction.

(e)

Any provision to the effect that certain calculations or certificates will be conclusive and binding upon the parties will not necessarily be effective if such calculations or certificates are fraudulent or erroneous on their face and will not necessarily prevent judicial enquiry into the merits of any claim by an aggrieved party.

(f)

To the extent that any provisions of the Documents require the payment by the Company of a higher rate of interest on overdue amounts than on amounts which are current, we express no opinion as to the validity or the binding effect thereof. A Bermuda court, even if it were applying the laws of another jurisdiction, might not give effect to such a provision if it could be established that the amount expressed as being payable was in the nature of a penalty, that is to say, a requirement for a stipulated sum to be paid irrespective of, or necessarily greater than, the loss likely to be sustained.

ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD.

[ ] 2009

Page 8 of 10

(g)

Section 9 of the Interest and Credit Charges (Regulation) Act 1975 provides that the Bermuda courts have discretion as to the amount of interest if any payable on the amount of a judgment after the date of judgment. If the court does not exercise that discretion, then interest will be paid at the statutory rate which is currently seven per cent per annum.

(h)	We express no opinion as to the validity or binding effect of any provision in the Documents which provides for the severance of illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

(i)	The term “enforceable” as used in this opinion means there is a way of ensuring that each party performs an agreement or that there are remedies available for breach.

(j)

We have relied upon statements and representations made to us in the Certificate provided to us by a director of the Company for the purposes of this opinion. We have made no independent verification of the matters referred to in the Certificate, and we qualify our opinion to the extent that the statements or representations made in the Certificate are not accurate in any respect.

(k)

With respect to opinion 6.(l), we recognise that it may be possible for a court of a jurisdiction other than The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan to assert jurisdiction over the proceedings involving the Notes. Should such other court assert jurisdiction over the proceedings involving the Notes then solely in relation to Clause (27) of the Notes, the Notes would not necessarily be enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

(l)	The searches referred to in paragraphs 3(a) and (b) are not conclusive and do not reveal:

(i)

whether an application to the Supreme Court for a winding-up petition or for the appointment of a receiver or manager has been prepared but not yet been presented or has been presented but does not appear in the Causes Book at the date and time the search is concluded;

(ii)

whether arbitration or administrative proceedings are pending or whether any proceedings are threatened, or whether any arbitrator has been appointed; or

(iii)

whether a receiver or manager has been appointed privately pursuant to the provisions of a debenture or other security, unless notice of the fact has been entered in the Register of Charges in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

Furthermore, in the absence of a statutorily defined system for the registration of charges created by companies incorporated outside Bermuda (“overseas companies”) over their assets located in Bermuda, it is not possible to determine definitively from searches of the Register of Charges maintained by the Registrar of Companies in respect of such overseas companies what charges have been registered over any of their assets located in Bermuda or whether any one charge has priority over any other charge over such assets.

This opinion is issued on the basis that it will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda. It is given on the basis that it will not give rise to any legal proceedings with respect thereto in any jurisdiction other than Bermuda. It is addressed to you for the purpose of the Documents and it is not to be relied upon by or disclosed to any person, firm or entity other than yourself, your counsels (Messrs Lin and Partners Attorneys at Law), or for any purposes, without our prior written consent.

Yours faithfully,

Re:

ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD. – 10% Senior Convertible Bonds due 2014 and 8% Senior Convertible Bonds due 2014

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD., a Bermuda company, (the “Company”) in connection with the following transactions (the “Transactions”) (i) the issuance by the Company to ThaiLin Semiconductor Corp. (the “Holder”) of $3,150,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Senior Convertible Bonds due 2014 (the “10% Bonds”) and $5,850,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 8% Senior Convertible Bonds due 2014 (the “8% Bonds”, and together with the 10% Senior Bonds, the “Exchange Bonds”) in exchange for $9,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009 (the “Original Notes”) pursuant to that certain Convertible Bond Exchange Agreement dated as of September 29, 2009 by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Exchange Agreement”), and (ii) the issuance and sale by the Company to the Holder of $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 8% Senior Convertible Bonds due 2014 (the “New Bonds”, and together with the Exchange Bonds, the “Bonds”) for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) pursuant to that certain Convertible Bond Purchase Agreement dated as of September 29, 2009 by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”).

The following documents, each dated as of October [_], 2009, except as otherwise indicated herein, are referred to collectively in this opinion letter as the “Transaction Documents”:

The Exchange Agreement;

The Purchase Agreement;

The Exchange Bonds;

The New Bonds; and

The Registration Rights Agreement, by and among the Company and the Holder.

In connection with rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined the Transaction Documents and have made such other investigation as we have deemed appropriate. As to certain matters of fact that are material to this opinion and as to the

ThaiLin Semiconductor Corp.

October [ ], 2009

Page 2

materiality of any fact or other matter referred to herein, we have also examined and relied on the representations, warranties and covenants of the parties contained in the Transaction Documents, and certificates, opinions and other documents delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to the Transaction Documents. We have not independently established any of the facts so relied on.

For the purposes of this opinion letter we have assumed (i) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all agreements, instruments and other documents by all the parties thereto; (ii) that the Transaction Documents are the valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto (other than the Company), enforceable against such parties in accordance with their terms, and that none of the Transaction Documents has been amended or terminated orally or in writing except as has been disclosed to us; (iii) that the statements contained in the certificates and comparable documents of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company and other persons on which we have relied for the purposes of this opinion are true and correct; (iv) the legal capacity of natural persons and that each party to the Transaction Documents has complied with all statutes, rules and regulations applicable to it arising out of the transactions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which it is a party; and (v) that the rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents will be exercised reasonably and in good faith and were granted without fraud or duress and for good, valuable and adequate consideration and without intent to hinder, delay or defeat any rights of any creditors or stockholders of the Company.

We have also made the assumptions that are customary in opinion letters of this kind, including the assumptions that each document submitted to us is accurate and complete, that each such document that is an original is authentic, that each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original, that all signatures on each such document are genuine and that no changes in the facts certified in any fact certificates have occurred or will occur after the dates of the fact certificates. We have not verified any of the foregoing assumptions.

The opinion set forth below are subject to the following qualifications: (i) insofar as provisions provide for indemnification or a limitation of liability, the enforceability thereof may be limited by public policy considerations; (ii) we express no opinion herein as to (A) any provision relating to subject matter jurisdiction of a specified court or arbitrator to adjudicate any controversy related to the Transaction Documents, (B) any waiver of an inconvenient forum, (C) any provision that purports to reinstate the rights of any party after an adverse judgment has been entered against such party with respect to such rights, (D) provisions providing for the payment of interest on interest, (E) provisions that purport to restrict access exclusively to any particular court, (F) provisions relating to powers of attorney, severability or set-off or (G) provisions providing that decisions by a party are conclusive or may be made in its sole discretion; (iii) that provisions in any of the Transaction Documents specifying that the provisions thereof may only be waived or

ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD.

Page 3

amended in writing may not be valid, binding or enforceable insofar as judicial decisions may permit the introduction of extrinsic evidence to modify the terms of or the interpretation of the Transaction Documents; (iv) that requirements in any Transaction Document relating to the payment of attorneys fees may not be enforceable; (v) that the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy is subject to the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction; (vi) that enforceability of the Transaction Documents is subject to concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing; (vii) the effect of the Holder’s failure to obtain any regulatory approvals that may be required in order for the Holder to exercise and enforce any or all of its rights in or under any of the Transaction Documents; and (viii) that limitations on the enforceability of “severability” provisions depend on the materiality of the unenforceable provisions to the document as a whole and to the undertakings of the parties thereunder.

The opinion expressed in this opinion letter is limited to the laws of the State of New York. We are not opining on, and we assume no responsibility for, the applicability to or effect on any of the matters covered herein of any other laws, the laws of any other jurisdiction, or the law of any county, municipality or other political subdivision or local governmental agency or authority.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

1. The Exchange Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, and other similar laws).

2. When the Exchange Bonds and the New Bonds have been duly completed, executed and countersigned by the Company, issued in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, respectively, and delivered to the Holder against payment therefor in accordance with the Exchange Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Bonds and the New Bonds will constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms (subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, and other similar laws).

The foregoing opinion is rendered as of the date of this letter, except as otherwise indicated. We assume no obligation to update or supplement any of such opinions to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur.

Yours truly,

ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD.

On the Early Redemption Date, the Company shall redeem the principal amount of the Bonds specified in the Early Redemption Notice by paying in cash or by check to the Holder of this Bond as of the date of the Early Redemption Notice, an amount equal to (a) Principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed plus (b) the sum of any Make-Whole Amount and any accrued and unpaid Interest, in each case relating to portion of the Bond being redeemed (the “Early Redemption Price”). If the Company elects to redeem the Bonds in part (instead of in whole), then the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount equal to the product of (i) the Early Redemption Price multiplied by (ii) the fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Bond held by such Holder on the date of such Early Redemption Notice and the denominator of which is aggregate principal amount of Bonds held by all Holders as of date of such Early Redemption Notice.

(2) INTEREST; INTEREST RATE.

(a) Interest on this Bond shall commence accruing at the Interest Rate (as defined in Section 30) from and including the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360)-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30)-day months and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) with the first Interest Payment Date being January 1, 2010.

In the event the Company decides to deliver Interest Shares on an Interest Payment Date, it must deliver a written notice (“Interest Election Notice”) to Holders no less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the Interest Payment Date (the date such notice is sent being the “Interest Notice Date”) pursuant to which notice, the Company elects to pay Interest entirely in Interest Shares or a combination of Cash Interest and Interest Shares and specifies the amount of Interest that shall be paid as Cash Interest and the amount of Interest that shall be paid in Interest Shares. Interest to be paid on an Interest Payment Date in Interest Shares shall be paid in a number of fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares equal to the quotient of (1) the amount of Interest payable on such Interest Payment Date less any Cash Interest paid and (2) the Interest Conversion Price in effect for the applicable Interest Payment Date (rounded down to the preceding whole number).

(c) On a Conversion Date (as defined in Section 3(c)) any Interest that has accrued on Bonds being converted from the previous Interest Payment Date up to and including the Conversion Date shall also be payable on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(c).

(d) From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall be increased to twelve percent (12%) per annum. If such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the increase in the applicable Interest Rate referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective on and as of the date of such cure; provided, however, that Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the period of such Event of Default shall not be reduced.

(e) All payments by the Company of Principal and Interest shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of the Republic of China or Bermuda or by any authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (“Taxes”); provided, that with respect to any such deduction or withholding from any such payments, the Company will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in the receipt by Holders of the amounts which would otherwise have been receivable by them in the absence of any such deduction or withholding, except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable in respect of any Bond:

(1) where the Holder or beneficial owner (or to a third party on behalf of such Holder or beneficial owner) is liable for such Taxes in respect of such Bond by reason of its being connected with the government of the Republic of China or Bermuda otherwise than merely by holding such Bond or by the receipt of Principal or Interest in respect of such Bond or the enforcement of payment on such Bond; or

(2) that is presented for payment more than thirty (30) days after the due date for such payment.

The obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply with respect to (i) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of a similar nature or (ii) any taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges that are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on the Bonds or deliveries of Common Shares upon conversion of the Bonds.

(3) CONVERSION OF BONDS. Subject to and upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 3, this Bond, or any portion of the Principal amount hereof which is a minimum of US$100,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000, may, at the option of the Holder at any time and from time to time during the Conversion Period be convertible into Common Shares of the Company at the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion.

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), during the Conversion Period, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined in Section 3(b)) into Common Shares in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined in Section 3(b)). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a Common Share upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a Common Share, the number of Common Shares to be delivered to the Holder shall be rounded down to the preceding whole number. The Holder shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes which are required to be paid in connection with the issuance and delivery of Common Shares upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be equal to the quotient of (x) such Conversion Amount and (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).

(i) “Conversion Amount” means the portion of the Principal amount of the Bonds to be converted with respect to which this determination is being made.

(ii) “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined in Section 3(c)) or other date of determination, $1.50, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Optional Conversion by Holders. To convert any Conversion Amount into Common Shares on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) cause to be delivered to the Company in accordance with Section 24 hereof, for receipt on or prior to 10:00 a.m. Taipei time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) surrender this Bond to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date (or deliver an indemnification undertaking satisfactory to the Company with respect to such Bond in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of receipt of the documentation required by clauses (A) and (B) above, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail a confirmation to the Holder that it has received the required documentation. At any time on or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of delivery of such confirmation (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled and pay to the Holder, at the option of the Company (a) in cash, by wire transfer or check, an amount equal to the sum of (i) any Make-Whole Amount and (ii) any accrued and unpaid Interest on such Conversion Amount, or (b) in a number of Common Shares equal to the quotient of (I) the sum of any Make-Whole Amount plus any accrued and unpaid Interest and (II) the Interest Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Conversion Date, or (c) in a combination of cash and Common Shares. If the outstanding Principal of this Bond is greater than the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5)

Business Days after receipt of this Bond from the Holder and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Bond (in accordance with Section 18(d) hereof) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Bond shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares on the Conversion Date.

(d) Company Conversion. At any time after the Issuance Date (the “Company Conversion Eligibility Date”), if (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares listed on the Principal Market or any other Eligible Market exceeds two hundred percent (200%) of the Conversion Price then in effect for a period of twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Company Conversion Notice Date (the “Company Conversion Measuring Period”) and (ii) the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares trading on the Principal Market or any other Eligible Market over such Company Conversion Measuring Period equals or exceeds one percent (1%) of the then outstanding Common Shares, the Company shall have the right to elect to automatically convert some or all of the Conversion Amount of this Bond (the “Company Conversion Amount”) as designated in a Company Conversion Notice (as defined below) on the Company Conversion Date (as defined below) (a “Company Conversion”). The Company may exercise its right to effect a Company Conversion under this Section 3(d) by delivering a written notice thereof to the Holders of Bonds (the “Company Conversion Notice” and the date of such notice is referred to as the “Company Conversion Notice Date”). The Company Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company Conversion Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Conversion shall occur (the “Company Conversion Date”) which shall be no later than the thirtieth (30th) Business Day following the Company Conversion Notice Date and (y) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Bonds which the Company has elected to be subject to Company Conversion pursuant to this Section 3(d) on the Company Conversion Date. The Company Conversion Date shall be treated as a Conversion Date for purposes of the Bonds.

(e) Pro Rata Company Conversion Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a Company Conversion pursuant to Section 3(d) with respect to less than all of the aggregate Conversion Amounts of the Bonds then outstanding, then the Company shall cause a Company Conversion of a Conversion Amount from each Holder equal to the product of (i) the aggregate Conversion Amount of Bonds as to which the Company has elected to effect a Company Conversion pursuant to Section 3(d), multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds held by such Holder as of the Company Conversion Notice Date and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds held by all Holders as of the Company Conversion Notice Date.

Holder within such time period satisfactory evidence of such cover transaction, and at the Company’s option, either (x) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver to the Holder the Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount shall terminate, or (y) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder such Common Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (I) such number of Common Shares, times (II) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date. For purposes of clarity, the foregoing provision of this Section 3(f) shall not apply to any failure or purported failure by the Company to issue Common Shares by virtue of a dispute between the Holder and the Company regarding the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon conversion of the applicable Conversion Amount, solely to the extent of the shares in dispute (a “Conversion Dispute”), and any such failure or purported failure to issue any such shares in dispute by virtue of a Conversion Dispute shall not be deemed a “Conversion Failure” or a failure by the Company otherwise to timely deliver the applicable Common Shares in accordance with and in full satisfaction of the applicable provisions of any of the Bonds for so long as the applicable Conversion Dispute continues regardless of the outcome of such dispute.

(g) Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of Bonds and the principal amount of Bonds held by such Holders. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the Holders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Bond for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Bond may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 18, upon its receipt of a request by a Holder to assign or sell all or part of any Bond, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Bond in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Bond to the designated assignee or transferee.

(h) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder of Bonds for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Bonds submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert a pro rata amount of each such converting Holder’s portion of Bonds submitted for conversion based on the Principal amount of Bonds submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the aggregate Principal amount of all Bonds submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of Common Shares issuable to such Holder in connection with a conversion of the Holder’s Bonds to which Section 23 applies, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of Common Shares not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 23.

(4) RIGHTS UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.

(a) Events of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(i) the Company (A) fails to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of Common Shares within ten (10) Business Days after the later of (1) the first date of such Conversion Failure or, (2) in the event and solely to the extent there is an ongoing Conversion Dispute, the date that any such Conversion Dispute is finally resolved, or (B) provides notice, written or oral, to any Holder of Bonds, including by way of public announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of its intention not to comply with a request for conversion into Common Shares of any Bond that is tendered in accordance with the provisions of the Bonds, other than in connection with a Conversion Dispute;

(ix) other than as specifically set forth in another clause of this Section 4(a), the Company breaches any other term or condition of this Bond and the default continues for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice of such breach demanding the Company to remedy the same shall have been given to the Company by the Required Holders.

(b) Redemption Right. Upon its becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Bond (whether directly or through notification by a Holder), the Company shall promptly (which shall be no more than five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of such Event of Default) deliver written notice thereof (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holders. The Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Bond held by such Holder provided that the Holder provides written notice to the Company within five (5) Business Days after the date of an Event of Default Notice (provided that such Event of Default is continuing) (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) which notice shall, subject to the other provisions of this Section 4(b), indicate the Principal amount of this Bond that such Holder is electing to require the Company to redeem.

(6) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(7) ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.

an amount equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance multiplied by the sum of the number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of Common Shares the consideration received or receivable by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance multiplied by the number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 7(a), the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options (other than Options that are Excluded Securities) and the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such Common Share 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 7(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company (subject to Section 7(a)(iii) hereof, without giving effect to any adjustments with respect to events that have yet to occur) with respect to any one Common Share upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Share or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Share upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (d) below, provided, however, that the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the extent that such options are not exercised on or prior to the expiration thereof.

such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7(a), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (d) below, provided, however, that the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the extent that such Convertible Securities are not exchanged for Common Shares on or prior to the time permitted for such exchange.

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options or Convertible Securities, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Options or Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Options or Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Share changes at any time (other than Excluded Securities and other than any reset of the conversion price on the Company’s Existing Bonds), the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Shares deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change, provided that no adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

(iv) 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, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a true value (the “Option Value”) and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company, less (II) the Option Value. If any Common Shares, 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 gross amount received or receivable by the Company therefor (with such amounts to be determined, for Options or Convertible Securities, in the manner set forth in Section 7(a)(i) or Section 7(a)(ii), as applicable, giving effect to the issuance of all the Options or Convertible Securities included with the applicable issuance). If any Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash (including in connection with any acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any assets or securities of any other entity as part of the Company or any of its subsidiaries acquiring or otherwise engaging in any strategic or other transaction with such other entity (any such acquisition or transaction, an “Applicable Transaction”)), the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration received or receivable by the Company therefor (with such amounts to be determined, for Options or Convertible Securities, in the manner set forth in Section 7(a)(i) or Section 7(a)(ii), as applicable, giving effect to the issuance of all the Options or Convertible Securities included with the applicable issuance), except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the greater of (A) the value of such securities based on the Closing Sale

Price of such securities on the most recent date preceding the date of receipt of such securities and, (B) if Common Shares are issued, the market value of any Common Shares issued by the Company for such securities based on the Closing Sale Price of such Common Shares on the date of receipt of such securities, except in connection with an Applicable Transaction, in which case the amount of consideration received for purposes of this clause (B) shall be the Closing Sale Price of such Common Shares on the most recent date preceding the date of the public announcement of the Applicable Transaction. 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) Business 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 (10^th) Business 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 deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Shares, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Shares 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.

(b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) that, had it been expressly provided for by such provisions, would have required an adjustment in the Conversion Price, then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Bond; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7.

(d) De Minimis Adjustments. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such price; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this Section 7(d) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments under this Section 7. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made by the Company in good faith and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as applicable. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Company’s Common Shares.

(e) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Bond reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(8) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(9) NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its organizational documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Bonds, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of the Bonds and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders of Bonds.

(10) RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

(a) Reservation. So long as any of the Bonds are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Bonds, such number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Bonds then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”).

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Bonds remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved Common Shares to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Bonds at least a number of Common Shares equal to the Required Reserve Amount, then the Company shall as soon as practicable take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized Common Shares to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Bonds then outstanding. The Company’s noncompliance with the Required Reserve Amount shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

(11) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(12) MECHANICS OF REDEMPTIONS.

redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Bond representing the Conversion Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Bond, or issue a new Bond (in accordance with Section 18(d)) to the Holder representing such Conversion Amount to be redeemed. Upon receipt of such notice from the Holder and the Company’s performance of its obligations in the previous sentence, the applicable redemption notice shall be deemed to have never been delivered by the Holder for purposes of the Bonds.

(13) VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Bond except as expressly provided herein.

(14) COVENANTS.

(a) Payment; Rank. The Company will duly and punctually pay the Principal of, and Interest on, and any other payments due with respect to, the Bonds when and if such amounts are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Bond.

(b) Preservation of Existence, Etc. The Company shall maintain and preserve, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve, its existence, rights and privileges, and become or remain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to become or remain, duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except (i) that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such rights and privileges if the Board of Directors shall determine in good faith that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders and (ii) nothing in this Section 14 shall prohibit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from engaging in a transaction which involves a Change of Control, or any sale or any other type of transaction involving all or any part of any subsidiary, business unit or operating unit, whether by stock sale, merger, asset sale or otherwise.

(15) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(16) VOTE TO ISSUE, OR CHANGE THE TERMS OF, BONDS. The affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders shall be required for any change or amendment to the Bonds. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Holder to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of the Bonds unless the same consideration also is offered to all Holders of the Bonds.

Any such Transferred Bond shall bear the restrictive legend set forth on the first page hereof, except if in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company (which opinion (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

(18) REISSUANCE OF THIS BOND.

(a) Transfer. If this Bond is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Bond to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Bond (in accordance with Section 18(d)), recorded in the Register as the Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less then the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Bond (in accordance with Section 18(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Bond, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 3(c) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Bond, the outstanding Principal represented by this Bond may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Bond.

8% SENIOR CONVERTIBLE BOND DUE 2014


Issuance Date: October [ ], 2009		Original Principal Amount: U.S. $10,000,000.00

(1) PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest. The “Maturity Date” shall be October [ ], 2014, except as may be extended at the option of the Holder (i) in the event that, and for so long as, an Event of Default (as defined in Section 4(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 1) or any event shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 1) that with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an Event of Default and (ii) through the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of a Change of Control in the event that a Change of Control is publicly announced or a Change of Control Notice (as defined in Section 5(b)) is delivered prior to the Maturity Date.

Notwithstanding the above, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company may notify Holders of its election to redeem all or part of the Bonds (a “Early Redemption Notice”) no more than 20 Business Days but not less than 5 Business Days

prior to the proposed date of such redemption (the “Early Redemption Date”). On the Early Redemption Date, the Company shall redeem the principal amount of the Bonds specified in the Early Redemption Notice by paying in cash or by check to the Holder of this Bond as of the date of the Early Redemption Notice, an amount equal to (a) Principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed plus (b) the sum of any Make-Whole Amount and any accrued and unpaid Interest, in each case relating to portion of the Bond being redeemed (the “Early Redemption Price”). If the Company elects to redeem the Bonds in part (instead of in whole), then the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount equal to the product of (i) the Early Redemption Price multiplied by (ii) the fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Bond held by such Holder on the date of such Early Redemption Notice and the denominator of which is aggregate principal amount of Bonds held by all Holders as of date of such Early Redemption Notice.

(2) INTEREST; INTEREST RATE.

(b) When any Interest Shares are to be paid on an Interest Payment Date, the Company shall instruct the Company’s transfer agent to issue and deliver on the applicable Interest Payment Date, to the address set forth in the Register (as hereinafter defined) or to such address as specified by the Holder in writing to the Company at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, a certificate, (bearing a restricted security legend), registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Interest Shares to which such holder shall be entitled and (ii) with respect to each Interest Payment Date, pay to such Holder, in cash or by check, the amount of any Cash Interest.

(2) that is presented for payment more than thirty (30) days after the due date for such payment.

(i) “Conversion Amount” means the portion of the Principal amount of the Bonds to be converted with respect to which this determination is being made.

(ii) “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined in Section 3(c)) or other date of determination, $1.25, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

average daily trading volume of the Common Shares trading on the Principal Market or any other Eligible Market over such Company Conversion Measuring Period equals or exceeds one percent (1%) of the then outstanding Common Shares, the Company shall have the right to elect to automatically convert some or all of the Conversion Amount of this Bond (the “Company Conversion Amount”) as designated in a Company Conversion Notice (as defined below) on the Company Conversion Date (as defined below) (a “Company Conversion”). The Company may exercise its right to effect a Company Conversion under this Section 3(d) by delivering a written notice thereof to the Holders of Bonds (the “Company Conversion Notice” and the date of such notice is referred to as the “Company Conversion Notice Date”). The Company Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company Conversion Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Conversion shall occur (the “Company Conversion Date”) which shall be no later than the thirtieth (30th) Business Day following the Company Conversion Notice Date and (y) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Bonds which the Company has elected to be subject to Company Conversion pursuant to this Section 3(d) on the Company Conversion Date. The Company Conversion Date shall be treated as a Conversion Date for purposes of the Bonds.

(f) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon conversion of any Conversion Amount (including by way of Company Conversion) on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Trading Days after the Conversion Date (a “Conversion Failure”), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Shares issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company, then the Company shall, within five (5) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and provided that the Company has received from the Holder within such time period satisfactory evidence of such cover transaction, and at the Company’s option, either (x) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver to the Holder the Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount shall terminate, or (y) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder such Common Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (I) such number of Common Shares, times (II) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date. For purposes of clarity, the foregoing provision of this Section 3(f) shall not apply to any failure or purported failure by the Company to issue Common Shares by virtue of a dispute between the Holder and the Company regarding the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon conversion of the applicable Conversion Amount, solely to the extent

of the shares in dispute (a “Conversion Dispute”), and any such failure or purported failure to issue any such shares in dispute by virtue of a Conversion Dispute shall not be deemed a “Conversion Failure” or a failure by the Company otherwise to timely deliver the applicable Common Shares in accordance with and in full satisfaction of the applicable provisions of any of the Bonds for so long as the applicable Conversion Dispute continues regardless of the outcome of such dispute.

(g) Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of Bonds and the principal amount of Bonds held by such Holders. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the Holders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Bond for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Bond may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 18, upon its receipt of a request by a Holder to assign or sell all or part of any Bond, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Bonds in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Bond to the designated assignee or transferee.

(4) RIGHTS UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.

(a) Events of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(ii) the Company fails to pay to the Holder any amount of Principal when and as due under this Bond (including, without limitation, the Company’s failure to pay any redemption amounts hereunder);

(iii) the Company defaults in the payment of Interest on any Bond when it becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of at least thirty (30) days;

(iv) the Company fails to provide notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control on a timely basis;

(vi) (A) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law (collectively, “Bankruptcy Law”), (B) the entry of an order for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, (C) the consent of the Company to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official (a “Custodian”), (D) the making by the Company of a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (E) the filing by the Company of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any Bankruptcy Law in the context of a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceeding or the consent by the Company to the filing of such petition, or (F) the admission in writing by the Company that it is generally unable to pay its debts as they become due;

(5) REDEMPTION RIGHT UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL.

(a) Redemption Right. No sooner than five (5) Business Days nor later than ten (10) Business Days following the consummation of a Change of Control (such date of consummation of a Change of Control, the “Change of Control Date”), the Company shall deliver written notice thereof to the Holders (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the date of a Change of Control Notice and ending ten (10) Trading Days after the date of the Change of Control Notice, any Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Bond held by such Holder which has not previously been called for redemption or repurchased by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company.

(7) ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.

(a) Upon Issuance of Common Shares. If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 7(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Shares (including the issuance or sale of Common Shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding Common Shares deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Security), 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 issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance multiplied by the sum of the number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of Common Shares the consideration received or receivable by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance multiplied by the number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 7(a), the following shall be applicable:

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities (other than Convertible Securities that are Excluded Securities) and the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Common Share 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 7(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company (subject to Section 7(a)(iii) hereof, without giving effect to any adjustments with respect to events that have yet to occur) with respect to any one Common Share upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Share upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7(a), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (d) below, provided, however, that the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the extent that such Convertible Securities are not exchanged for Common Shares on or prior to the time permitted for such exchange.

ten (10) Business 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 (10^th) Business 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 deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(12) MECHANICS OF REDEMPTIONS.

The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice. If such Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(b), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder (i) concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this Bond, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Bond (in accordance with Section 18(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Bond representing the Conversion Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount and

(y) the Company shall immediately return this Bond, or issue a new Bond (in accordance with Section 18(d)) to the Holder representing such Conversion Amount to be redeemed. Upon receipt of such notice from the Holder and the Company’s performance of its obligations in the previous sentence, the applicable redemption notice shall be deemed to have never been delivered by the Holder for purposes of the Bonds.

(13) VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Bond except as expressly provided herein.

(14) COVENANTS.

(15) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(17) TRANSFER.

(b) Each Holder may offer or sell this Bond pursuant to:

(i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,

(ii) an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, or

(iii) The provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any successor provision), if applicable.

(d) Upon any sale or transfer of all or any portion of this Bond (each, a “Transferred Bond”) to any Person, such Person by accepting such Transferred Bond automatically agrees to be bound by all applicable terms and conditions of the Convertible Bond Purchase Agreement thereunder with respect to such Transferred Bond. Any such Transferred Bond shall bear the restrictive legend set forth on the first page hereof, except if in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company (which opinion (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

(18) REISSUANCE OF THIS BOND.

Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Bond being issued pursuant to Section 18(a) or Section 18(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the principal represented by the other new Bonds issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Bond immediately prior to such issuance of new Bonds), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Bond, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Bond, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Bond, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest.

(19) REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Bond shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Bond and any of the other Bond Transaction Documents (provided that, with respect to the Convertible Bond Purchase Agreement, only to the extent the Holder is party thereto) 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 any contract damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Bond. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
