The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of all such instruments delivered to the Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders of Securities signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent or proxy, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 5.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.4.

Promptly and in any case not later than ten (10) days after setting a record date,

the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders of such record date. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the thirtieth (30th) day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 13.1) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date, the Holders on such date (or their duly appointed agents or proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to give or take, or vote on, the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, any notice, declaration or direction referred to in the next paragraph.

Promptly after such receipt by the Trustee of any such declaration or direction referred to in clause (2) or (3), and promptly after setting any record date with respect to clause (1), and as soon as practicable thereafter, the Trustee shall notify the Company and the Holders of any such record date so fixed. The Holders on such record date (or their duly appointed agents or proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, however, that, unless such notice, declaration or direction shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities on such record date (or their duly appointed agents or proxies) having joined therein on or prior to the ninetieth (90th) day after such record date, such notice, declaration or direction shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent or proxy thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a notice, declaration or direction contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, the notice, declaration or direction to which such record date relates, in which event a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. In addition, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any notice, declaration or direction of the type referred to in this paragraph given at any time to the Trustee and the Company by Holders (or their duly appointed agents or proxies) of the requisite principal amount of Securities on the date such notice, declaration or direction is so given.

(f) Except as provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.13, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

SECTION 1.5 Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

Neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.

Such notice shall be deemed to have been given when such notice is mailed.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Repurchase Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security or the last day on which a Holder of a Security has a right to convert his Security shall not be a Business Day at a Place of Payment or Place of Conversion, as the case may be, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or the payment of the Repurchase Price or Redemption Price (whether the same is payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock) with respect to, or delivery for conversion of, such Security need not be made at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion, as the case may be, on or by such day, but may be made on or by the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion, as the case may be, with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Repurchase Date, or at the Stated Maturity or by such last day for conversion; provided, however, that in the case that payment is made on such succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repurchase Date, Stated Maturity or last day for conversion, as the case may be.

SECTION 1.13 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

Until such time as this Indenture shall be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act to the same extent as would be the case if this Indenture were so qualified on the date hereof.

Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated by the Company for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so or (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security.

If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or cancelled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the Trustee, as Security Registrar, for exchange or cancellation, as provided in this Article II. If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or cancelled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, in each case, as provided in Section 2.6, then either (A) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation, as provided in this Article II, or (B) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or cancelled or equal to the principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as Security Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 2.6(c) and as otherwise provided in this Article II, authenticate and make available for delivery any Securities issuable in

exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its authorized representative. Upon the request of the Trustee in connection with the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Securities that are not in the form of Global Securities. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article II.

Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article II or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a registered Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof, in which case such Registered Security shall be authenticated and delivered in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture and the Registered Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members, and such owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall not be considered the owners or holders thereof.

SECTION 2.6 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 8.2 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers and exchanges of Registered Securities as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 8.2 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

At the option of the Holder, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.6, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.6, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, the Securities the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the

Company or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.6, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities except as provided in Section 2.7, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.5, 7.5, 10.2, 12.3(e) or 14.7 (other than where the shares of Common Stock are to be issued or delivered in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security) not involving any transfer and other than any stamp and other duties, if any, that may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, which shall be paid by the Company.

(b) Restricted Securities Legends. All Securities shall bear the applicable Restricted Securities Legend subject to the following:

(1) subject to the following clauses of this Section 2.6(b), a Security or any portion thereof that is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend borne by such Global Security while represented thereby;

(2) subject to the following clauses of this Section 2.6(b), a new Security that is not a Global Security and is issued in exchange for another Security (including a Global Security), or any portion thereof, bearing a Restricted Securities Legend, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend borne by such other Security;

(3) any Securities that are sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act (including a Shelf Registration Statement), together with their Successor Securities, shall not bear a Restricted Securities Legend; the Company shall inform the Trustee in writing of the effective date of any such registration statement registering the Securities under the Securities Act and shall notify the Trustee at any time when prospectuses may not be delivered with respect to Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration statement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned registration statement;

(4) at any time after the Securities may be freely transferred without registration under the Securities Act or without being subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Securities Act, a new Security that does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend (at the request of the Holder) may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security (other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof that bears such a legend if the Trustee has received a certificate regarding the unrestricted nature of the Securities, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the Holder of such legended

Security or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery such a new Security in exchange for or in lieu of such other Security as provided in this Article II;

(5) a new Security that does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security (other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof that bears such a legend if, in the Company’s judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Security is not necessary to ensure compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and make available for delivery such a new Security as provided in this Article II; and

(6) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(b), a Successor Security of a Security that does not bear a particular form of Restricted Securities Legend shall not bear such form of legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Security is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144, in which case the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and make available for delivery a new Security bearing a Restricted Securities Legend in exchange for such Successor Security as provided in this Article II.

(c) Neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any of their agents shall (1) have any duty to monitor compliance with or with respect to any federal or state or other securities or tax laws or (2) have any duty to obtain documentation on any transfers or exchanges other than as specifically required hereunder.

SECTION 2.7 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee:

(a) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and

(b) such security or indemnity as may be satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless,

then, in the absence of actual notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion, but subject to any conversion rights, may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 2.7, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in

relation thereto (other than any stamp and other duties, if any, that may be imposed in connection therewith by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, which shall be paid by the Company) and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and such new Security shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies of any Holder with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

SECTION 2.8 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Interest on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid, at the option of the Company, in immediately available funds, Registered Common Stock or some combination of immediately available funds or Registered Common Stock as provided in the Security to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. For the purpose of any interest payment in Registered Common Stock, whether in whole or in part, such payment will have a Fair Market Value equal to the interest payment due on the Interest Payment Date and shall be subject to the restrictions on issuance as set forth in Section 8.7 herein.

Any interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security, the date of the proposed payment and the Special Record Date, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause. The Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest shall be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than fifteen (15) days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date

therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8 and Section 2.6, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.

Interest on any Security that is converted in accordance with Section 10.2 during a Record Date Period shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2.

SECTION 2.9 Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.8) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.10 Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for payment, repurchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Securities so delivered to the Trustee shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 2.10. The Trustee shall dispose of all cancelled Securities in accordance with applicable law and its customary practices in effect from time to time.

SECTION 2.11 Computation of Interest.

Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) 30-day months.

SECTION 2.12 CUSIP Numbers.

The Company in issuing Securities shall obtain and use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) in addition to serial numbers and the Trustee shall use such CUSIP numbers in addition to

serial numbers in notices of repurchase as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such CUSIP numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a repurchase and that reliance may be placed only on the serial or other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such repurchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in any such CUSIP number.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 4.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(i) or 4.1(j) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or each Holder of not less than $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the principal of all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration, such principal and all accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(i) or 4.1(j) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages on, all the Securities shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other Act of the Holder or any act on the part of the Trustee.

If an Event of Default occurs, the outstanding Securities shall bear interest from the date of the event that creates the Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, regardless of when or whether the Holders deliver a Notice of Default or any Holder or the Trustee declares the outstanding principal balance due and payable as provided in this Section 4.2.

At any time after such declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article IV provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

(a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(1) all overdue interest, if any, on all Securities;

(2) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Securities that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate borne by the Securities;

(3) to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest upon overdue interest at the rate then in effect and any Liquidated Damages then due; and

(4) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel; and

(b) all Events of Default (other than the non-payment of the principal of, and any premium and interest on Securities that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration) have been cured or waived as provided in Section 4.13.

No rescission or annulment referred to above shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 4.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if:

(a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when it becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of thirty (30) days; or

(b) default is made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security at the Maturity thereof;

the Company will upon demand by the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest on any overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on any overdue interest at the rate then in effect, and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 4.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relating to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or the creditors of either, the Trustee (whether or not the principal of, and any interest on, the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and whether or not the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and take such other actions, including participating as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter, and to file such other papers or documents, in each of the foregoing cases, as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel) and of the Holders of Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Securities, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.7.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of such Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official.

SECTION 4.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Securities.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 4.6 Application of Money Collected.

Subject to Article XI, any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article IV shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.7;

SECOND: to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, respectively; and

SECTION 4.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 4.14 Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 4.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of repurchase, on or after the Repurchase Date) or for the enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article X.

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture but not to verify the contents thereof.

(b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 5.1.

SECTION 5.2 Notice of Defaults.

Within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any default hereunder as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actually received written notice, the Trustee shall give to all Holders of Securities, in the manner provided in Section 1.6, notice of such default, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders. For the purpose of this Section 5.2, the term “default” means any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent or any other agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or such other agent.

The Trustee may become and act as trustee under other indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding in the same manner as if it were not Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 5.6 Money Held in Trust.

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder, except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

SECTION 5.7 Compensation and Reimbursement.

The Company agrees:

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(b) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(i) or Section 4.1(j) with respect to the Company, the expenses (including the reasonable charges of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of the administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities as to all property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.7, except with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.

The provisions of this Section 5.7 shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

SECTION 5.8 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such, having a combined capital and surplus (or for such purposes, the combined capital and surplus of any parent holding company) of at least U.S. $25,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, in good standing and having an established place of business or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 5.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or the Company may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and the Company.

(d) If at any time:

(1) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 5.8 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six (6) months; or

(2) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, (i) in any such case the Company may remove the Trustee, or (ii) in the case of clause (d)(1) above only and subject to Section 4.14, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section 5.9 and Section 5.10.

Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 5.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee. Such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, promptly execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under this Article V.

In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 5.12 Authenticating Agents.

Securities authenticated by an Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder, and every reference in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be subject to acceptance by the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent and subject to supervision or

examination by government or other fiscal authority. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.12, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 5.12.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent (provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 5.12), without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.12, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, which shall be subject to acceptance by the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 5.12.

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Section VII or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.3) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

SECTION 7.4 Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Section VII, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder appertaining thereto shall be bound thereby.

SECTION 7.5 Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section VII may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Company and the Trustee, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities.

SECTION 7.6 Notice of Supplemental Indentures.

Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2, the Company shall give notice to all Holders of Securities of such fact, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, in the manner provided in Section 1.6. Any failure of the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

COVENANTS

SECTION 8.1 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

(a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. By no later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the date of the Stated Maturity of any Security, the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee, all principal and premium payments so due, which payments shall be in immediately available funds on the date of such Stated Maturity. By no later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the due date for any installment of interest or Liquidated Damages, the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee, all interest and Liquidated Damages payments so due, which payments shall be in immediately available funds on the due date or shares of Common Stock. For avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Company shall not have the ability to repay principal or pay premium on the Securities in shares of Common Stock.

(b) In the event that the Company elects to satisfy an interest payment or Liquidated Damages by payment in shares of Common Stock, the interest rate for that installment shall be 100 basis points higher than if the payment were made in cash. The number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered will be determined based on the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that no payment in Common Stock shall be allowed in the event the Fair Market Value during this 5 day period is less than $1.00 per share.

SECTION 8.2 Maintenance of Offices or Agencies.

The Company hereby appoints the New York City office of the Trustee as its agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where Securities may be surrendered for conversion, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served.

The Company may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all of such purposes; provided, however, that until all of the Securities have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Securities have been made available for payment and either paid or returned to the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.3, the Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment and conversion, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, and notice to the Holders in accordance with Section 1.6, of the appointment or termination of any such agents and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, presentations and surrenders may be made and notices and demands may be served on the Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 8.3 Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust.

If the Company will act as its own Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, no later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities, deposit with such Paying Agent(s) a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium, if any, or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure so to act.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 8.3, that such Paying Agent will:

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Securities for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(b) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest; and

(c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held by such Paying Agent.

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment and discharge of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security that remains unclaimed for two (2) years after the date when each payment of such principal, premium, or interest has become payable shall, upon the request of the Company, be repaid by the Trustee to the Company as its absolute property free from trust, and the Trustee shall thereupon be released and discharged with respect thereto and the Holders shall look only to the Company for the payment of the principal, premium or interest on such Security. The Trustee shall not be liable to the Company or any Holder for interest on funds held by it for the payment and

discharge of the principal, premium or interest on any of the Securities to any Holder. The Company shall not be liable for any interest on the sums paid to it pursuant to this paragraph and shall not be regarded as a trustee of such money.

SECTION 8.4 Existence.

Subject to Article VI, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 8.5 Statement by Officers as to Default.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate (one of the signers of which shall be the Company’s principal executive, principal financial or principal accounting officer), stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they have knowledge.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon becoming aware of any default in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, or any Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying with particularity such default or Event of Default and further stating what action the Company has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Any notice required to be given under this Section 8.5 shall be delivered to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 8.6 Delivery of Certain Information.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee within fifteen (15) days after the filing of the same with the Commission, copies of the quarterly and annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports, if any, which the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will file with the Commission, to the extent permitted, and provide the Trustee and Holders with such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, provided that the Company need not file such reports or other information if, and so long as, it would not be required to do so pursuant to Rule 12h-5 under the Exchange Act. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein.

At any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder of a Security or the holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information to such Holder of Securities or such holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Securities, or to a prospective purchaser of any such security designated by any such Holder or holder, as the case may be, to the extent required to permit compliance by such Holder or holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) in connection with the resale of any such security; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to furnish such information in connection with any request made on or after the date that is two years from the later of (a) the date such a security (or any such predecessor security) was last acquired from the Company or (b) the date such a security (or any such predecessor security) was last acquired from an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto).

SECTION 8.7 Payment in Registered Common Stock.

To the extent payment in Common Stock is permitted under the provisions of this Indenture, such payment can only be made in the form of Registered Common Stock.

SECTION 8.8 Incurrence of Indebtedness.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur or suffer to exist (i) Indebtedness that is structurally senior or senior by its terms to the Securities or (ii) Secured Indebtedness, in an aggregate principal amount for both (i) and (ii) exceeding $10,000,000, unless, in the case of (ii) only, the Securities are equally and ratably secured with such Secured Indebtedness in excess of such $10,000,000 limit; provided that Liens in favor of Strategic Partners granted in connection with biopharmaceutical licensing and/or partnering arrangements shall not be subject to these restrictions.

SECTION 8.9 Liquidated Damages.

If Liquidated Damages are payable by the Company pursuant to Section 7 of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Liquidated Damages per U.S. $1,000 principal amount of the Notes that are payable, (ii) the facts and calculations supporting the determination of such amount, (iii) the date on which such damages are payable, and (iv) if the Company elects to satisfy a payment of Liquidated Damages by payment in shares of Common Stock, the fact that payment made in shares of Common Stock, as well as the calculation by which the payment of Common Stock was determined. Unless and until an officer or representative of the Trustee receives such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Liquidated Damages are payable.

ARTICLE IX

MAKE-WHOLE PROVISION

SECTION 9.1 Make-Whole Provision.

Upon (a) the Automatic Conversion of any Security in accordance with Section 10.13, (b) the repurchase of any Security in accordance with Article XII, or (c) a Redemption in accordance with

Section 14.1, the Company will pay to the Holders of the Securities so converted, repurchased or redeemed cash or Registered Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Registered Common Stock, with respect to the Security so converted, repurchased or redeemed in an amount equal to U.S. $115 per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities, less the amount of any interest paid on the Securities before the relevant Automatic Conversion Date, Repurchase Date or Redemption Date (the “Make-Whole Payment”). For purposes of any such payment in Registered Common Stock, the value of such Registered Common Stock will be valued at Fair Market Value ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Automatic Conversion Date, Repurchase Date or Redemption Date. The issuance of Registered Common Stock will be subject to the restrictions on issuance as set forth in Section 8.7 herein. No such Make-Whole Payment shall be payable upon any conversion, repurchase or redemption of the Securities other than in connection with an Automatic Conversion as provided by Section 10.13, a repurchase of any Security pursuant to Article XII or a redemption pursuant to Section 14.1.

ARTICLE X

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 10.1 Conversion Privilege and Conversion Rate.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article X, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is U.S. $l,000 or an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 may be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Rate, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. Such conversion right shall commence upon the original issuance of the Securities and expire at the close of business on December 15, 2011, unless the Security has been previously repurchased, redeemed or automatically converted, subject, in the case of conversion of any Global Security, to any Applicable Procedures. In case the Holder of a Security exercises his right to require the Company to repurchase or redeem the Security, such conversion right in respect of the Security, or portion thereof so called, shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date or Redemption Date, as applicable, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon repurchase (in each case subject, as aforesaid, to any Applicable Procedures with respect to any Global Security).

The rate at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the “Conversion Rate”) shall be initially 333.333 shares of Common Stock for each U.S. $1,000 principal amount of Securities. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in this Article X.

This conversion privilege is subject to the restrictions on issuance contained in Section 8.7 herein.

SECTION 10.2 Exercise of Conversion Privilege.

In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the Holder of any Security to be converted shall surrender such Security, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, at any office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 8.2, accompanied by a duly

signed and completed notice of conversion substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C stating that the Holder elects to convert such Security or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted. Each Security surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date shall (except in the case of any Security or portion thereof that is to be repurchased or redeemed on a Repurchase Date or Redemption Date, respectively, with the consequence that the conversion right of such Security would terminate between such Regular Record Date and the close of business on such Interest Payment Date) be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such Security (or part thereof, as the case may be) being surrendered for conversion. The interest so payable on such Interest Payment Date, with respect to any Security (or portion thereof, if applicable) that is surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date, shall be paid to the Holder of such Security as of such Regular Record Date. Interest payable in respect of any Security surrendered for conversion on or after an Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Holder of such Security as of the next preceding Regular Record Date, notwithstanding the exercise of the right of conversion. Except as provided in this paragraph and subject to the last paragraph of Section 2.8, no cash payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the conversion date, in respect of any Security (or part thereof, as the case may be) surrendered for conversion, or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock issued upon conversion. The Company’s delivery to the Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractions thereof, as provided in this Indenture) into which a Security is convertible and any rights pursuant to Section 10.6(m) will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the Security.

Securities shall be deemed to have been converted on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Trustee, for delivery to the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 10.3.

All shares of Common Stock delivered upon such conversion of Securities shall bear restrictive legends substantially in the form of the legends required to be set forth on the Securities pursuant to Section 2.6 and shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in such legends. Neither the Trustee nor any agent maintained for the purpose of such conversion shall have any responsibility for the inclusion or content of any such restrictive legends on such Common Stock; provided, however, that the Trustee or any agent maintained for the purpose of such conversion shall have provided to the Company or to the Company’s transfer agent for such Common Stock, prior to or concurrently with a request to the Company to deliver such Common Stock, written notice that the Securities delivered for conversion are Securities.

In the case of any Security that is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Registered Security or Securities of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Security. A Security may be converted in part, but only if the principal amount of such Security to be converted is any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 and the principal amount of such security to remain Outstanding after such conversion is equal to U.S. $l,000 or any integral multiple of U.S. $l,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 10.3 Fractions of Shares.

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Security or Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall calculate and pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price at the close of business on the day of conversion.

SECTION 10.4 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.

The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:

(a) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of capital stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such increase to become effective (subject to paragraph (l) of this Section 10.4) immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (a), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 10.4) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants (other than any rights, options or warrants (1) that by their terms will also be issued to any Holder upon conversion of a Security into shares of Common Stock without any action required by the Company or any other Person or (2) that are only exercisable

upon the occurrence of a specified triggering event and such triggering event has not occurred), the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, such increase to become effective (subject to paragraph (l) of this Section 10.4) immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its Indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock, or other property (including cash or assets or securities, but excluding (1) any rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4 and the distribution of rights to all holders of Common Stock pursuant to the adoption of a stockholders’ rights plan or the detachment of such rights under the terms of such stockholders’ rights plan, (2) any dividend or distribution paid in cash, except as set forth in paragraphs (e) and (f) of this Section 10.4, (3) any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.4 and (4) any merger or consolidation paid in cash to which Section 10.11 applies), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 10.4) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets, shares or evidences of Indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective (subject to paragraph (l) of this Section 10.4) immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

Under the provisions of the Company’s Rights Agreement dated as of November 11, 1996, between the Company and Harris Trust Company of California, as amended as of November 20, 2002 between the Company, Harris Trust Company of California and Compushare Investor Services LLC (the “Rights Plan”), upon conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, to the extent that the Rights Plan is still in effect upon such conversion, the Holders of Securities will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights described therein (whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion), subject to the limitations set forth in the Rights Plan. In addition, if the Company implements a new rights plan (“New Rights Plan”), the Company will provide under such New Rights Plan that the Holders of the Securities will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights under the New Rights Plan (whether or not the rights under the New Rights Plan have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion), subject to any limitations set forth in the New Rights Plan.

(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding cash portions of distribution referred to in Section 10.4(d) and any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 10.11 applies) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other cash distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 365-day period preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (e) has been made and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 365-day period preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 10.4 has been made (the “Combined Cash and Tender Amount”) exceeds one percent (1%) of the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 10.4) of the Common Stock on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “Aggregate Current Market Price”), then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, subject to paragraph (l) of Section 10.4, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 10.4) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the excess of such Combined Cash and Tender Amount over one percent (1%) of such Aggregate Current Market Price divided by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date fixed for determination and (B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 10.4) of the Common Stock on such date fixed for determination.

(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall be completed for an aggregate consideration consisting of cash and/or property having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose

determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 365-day period preceding the completion of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (f) has been made and (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Company’s Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 365-day period preceding the completion of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.4 has been made (the “Combined Tender and Cash Amount”) exceeds ten percent (10%) of the product of the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 10.4) as of the completion of such tender offer (the “Completion Date”) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Completion Date, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Completion Date, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate immediately prior to close of business on the Completion Date by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to (i) the product of (x) the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 10.4) on the Completion Date multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Completion Date less (ii) the Combined Tender and Cash Amount, and (B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (x) the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 10.4) as of the Completion Date multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Completion Date less the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Completion Date.

(g) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 10.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (1) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section 10.4), and (2) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” or “the day upon which such combination becomes effective”, as the case may be, and “the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective” within the meaning of paragraph (c) of this Section 10.4).

(h) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (b), (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 10.4, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be calculated by the Company and be deemed to be the Volume Weighted Average Price for the Trading Day before the “ex date” with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex date,” when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way in the applicable securities market or on the applicable securities exchange without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.

(i) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this paragraph (i)) would require an increase or

decrease of at least one percent in such rate; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article X shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

(j) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, for the remaining term of the Securities or any shorter term, in addition to those required by paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 10.4, as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax liability to any holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of Common Stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for Common Stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least twenty (20) days and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall give notice of the increase to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.6 at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.4, no adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be required to be made (1) upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan for the reinvestment of dividends, (2) because of a tender or exchange offer of the character described in Rule 13e-4(h) (5) under the Exchange Act or any successor rule thereto or (3) as a result of a rights plan or poison pill implemented by the Company.

(l) In any case in which this Section 10.4 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and on and before such adjustment shall have become effective (1) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Rate prior to adjustment, and (2) not later than five (5) Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made if the event giving rise to such adjustment does not occur.

(m) In the event that the Company distributes rights or warrants (other than those referred to in paragraph (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities (the “Conversion Shares”), a number of rights and warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the

date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the “Distribution Date”), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted was convertible immediately prior to such Distribution Date would have been entitled on such Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants.

SECTION 10.5 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate.

Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided:

(a) the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 10.4 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall promptly be filed with the Trustee and with the Conversion Agent; and

(b) upon each such adjustment, a notice stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate shall be required, and as soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be provided by the Company to all Holders in accordance with Section 1.6.

Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or the information and calculations contained therein, except to exhibit the same to any Holder of Securities desiring inspection thereof at its office during normal business hours. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and Conversion Agent receive notice of an adjusted Conversion Rate, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may rely without inquiry on the Conversion Rate most recently in effect.

SECTION 10.6 Notice of Certain Corporate Action.

In case:

(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable (i) otherwise than exclusively in cash or (ii) exclusively in cash in an amount that would require any adjustment pursuant to Section 10.4; or

(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights;

(c) or of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, or of any consolidation, merger or share exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 8.2, and shall cause to be provided to all Holders in accordance with Section 1.6, at least twenty (20) days (or ten (10) days in any case specified in clause (a) or (b) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (1) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants are to be determined or (2) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Neither the failure to give such notice or the notice referred to in the following paragraph nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 10.6. If at the time the Trustee shall not be the Conversion Agent, a copy of such notice shall also forthwith be filed by the Company with the Trustee.

The Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 8.2, and shall cause to be provided to all Holders in accordance with Section 1.6, notice of any tender offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock at or about the time that such notice of tender offer is provided to the public generally.

SECTION 10.7 Company to Reserve Common Stock.

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all Outstanding Securities.

SECTION 10.8 Taxes on Conversions.

Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.

SECTION 10.9 Covenant as to Common Stock.

The Company agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be delivered upon conversion of Securities, upon such delivery, will be newly issued shares and will have been duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable and, except as provided in Section 10.8, the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

SECTION 10.10 Cancellation of Converted Securities.

All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee or its agent to be cancelled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.10.

SECTION 10.11 Provision in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.

In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or that acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security then Outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Security shall be convertible as specified in Section 11.1, to convert such Security only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Security might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (a) is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or merged with or into or that merged into or with the Company or to which such conveyance, sale, transfer or lease was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (b) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer, or lease is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by other than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“Non-electing Share”), then for the purpose of this Section 10.11 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by the holders of each Non-electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-electing Shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments that, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article X. The above provisions of this Section 10.11 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, conveyances, sales, transfers or leases. Notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture shall be given by the Company to the Holder of each Security as provided in Section 1.6 promptly upon such execution.

Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property or cash receivable by Holders of Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such consolidation, merger, conveyance,

transfer, sale or lease or to any such adjustment but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officers Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto, which the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee upon request.

SECTION 10.12 Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions.

(a) The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1, and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed herein or in any supplemental indenture in making the same, or whether a supplemental indenture need be entered into. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1, nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Stock, or of any other securities or property or cash, that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Security; and it or they do not make any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1, nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make or calculate any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or share certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1, and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article X.

SECTION 10.13 Automatic Conversion.

(a) If at any time after December 15, 2009 and on or prior to Stated Maturity, the Closing Price of the Common Stock has exceeded one hundred forty percent (140%) of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least twenty (20) Trading Days in any thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period, ending within five (5) Trading Days prior to the date of the Automatic Conversion Notice (as defined below) the Securities shall automatically convert as provided herein (an “Automatic Conversion”); provided, however, that for each day within such 30-Trading Day period, either (i) the Shelf Registration Statement is effective and available for use (ii) the Conversion Shares issuable upon the Automatic Conversion may be sold without any restriction on transfer or (iii) the Conversion Shares issuable upon the Automatic Conversion may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (assuming, for purposes of such determination, that no recipient of Conversion Shares is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of such Rule and that all recipients of Conversion Shares have held the Notes since the date of their original issuance). The amount of Securities that shall automatically convert for any 30 Trading Day period shall equal the lesser of (i) the value of ten (10) times the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during such 20 day triggering period times the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock during such 20 day period, rounded down to the nearest $1,000, and (ii) one half of the principal amount of the Securities that have been authenticated under the Indenture as of the date of the Automatic Conversion Notice. Each 30 Trading Day period for which an Automatic Conversion may be triggered shall commence anew at the end of the period which triggered the Automatic Conversion.

(b) Upon Automatic Conversion, the Company shall pay to Holders a Make-Whole Payment in accordance with Section 9.1 hereof.

(c) Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption all of the outstanding Securities, the Company or, at the request and expense of the Company, the Trustee, shall mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder notice (the “Automatic Conversion Notice”) of an Automatic Conversion not more than thirty (30) days but not less than twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Notes will be Automatically Converted (the “Automatic Conversion Date”). If the Company gives such notice, it shall also deliver a copy of such Automatic Conversion Notice to the Trustee. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. Such notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Security shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the Automatic Conversion of any other Security.

(d) Each Automatic Conversion Notice shall state:

(1) the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be automatically converted,

(2) the CUSIP, ISIN or similar number or numbers of the Securities being automatically converted,

(3) the Automatic Conversion Date,

(4) that on and after said date Interest thereon will cease to accrue,

(5) the Make-Whole Payment to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof and to what extent such Make-Whole Payment shall be paid in cash, Registered Common Stock or as a combination of cash and Registered Common Stock,

(6) the place or places where the Securities are to be surrendered for conversion, and

(7) the Conversion Price then in effect.

(e) Prior to or contemporaneous with the mailing of an Automatic Conversion Notice to the Holders, the Company shall issue a press release containing the information contained in the Automatic Conversion Notice.

(f) In the event of an Automatic Conversion, the Company shall issue and deliver (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of Conversion Shares and, to the extent the Company elects to pay the Make-Whole Payment in Registered Common Stock, in whole or in part, in respect of the Make-Whole Payment due on the Securities and (ii) any cash in respect of any fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion or to the extent the Company elects to pay the Make-Whole Payment in cash, for payment to the Holders as promptly after the Automatic Conversion Date, as practicable in accordance with the provisions of this Article X, but in no event later than the close of business on the third next succeeding Business Day following such Automatic Conversion Date.

(g) All Securities subject to an Automatic Conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee or its agent to be cancelled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.10.

(h) If less than all the Securities are to be Automatically Converted, the particular Securities to be converted shall be selected by the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date that the Automatic Conversion Notice is given from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption by lot or such method as the Trustee may deem fair and appropriate.

(i) Upon Automatic Conversion, Interest on the Securities shall cease to accrue and, except as provided in Section 5.6, to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the Common Stock and cash, if any, to which they are entitled pursuant to this Section 10.13.

(j) If any of the provisions of this Section 10.13 are inconsistent with applicable law at the time of such Automatic Conversion, such law shall govern.

SECTION 10.14 Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion.

If the Company fails to deliver to a Holder the applicable certificate or certificates for Common Stock by the fifth Trading Day following the delivery of the notice of conversion to the Trustee, and if after such date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such notice of conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) Securities equal to the aggregate principal amount of Securities submitted for conversion or deliver to such 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 10.2. For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of Securities with respect to which the actual sale price (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 such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to such 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 Securities as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

ARTICLE XII

REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT THE

OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL

SECTION 12.1 Right to Require Repurchase.

In the event that a Change in Control shall occur, then each Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, but subject to the provisions of Section 12.2, to require the Company to repurchase, and upon the exercise of such right the Company shall repurchase, all of such Holder’s Securities, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to U.S. $1,000 or any greater integral multiple of U.S. $1,000, on the date (the “Repurchase Date”) that is fixed by the Company at a cash purchase price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus the Make-Whole Payment, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, accrued to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date (the “Repurchase Price”); provided, however, that installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repurchase Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of Section 2.8. The Repurchase Date will be determined by the Company in the following manner: (i) the Company will give notice of the Change in Control as contemplated in Section 12.3(a); (ii) each Holder electing to exercise the repurchase right must deliver, on or before the thirtieth (30th) day (or such greater period as may be required by applicable law) after the date of the Company’s notice provided in provision (i) above: (A) irrevocable written notice to the trustee of such Holder’s exercise of its repurchase right; and (B) the Securities with respect to which such repurchase right is being exercised; and (iii) the Company will make the repurchase on a date that is no later than forty-five (45) days after the Holder has delivered the notice provided in proviso (ii) above. Such right to require the repurchase of the Securities shall not continue after a discharge of the Company from its obligations with respect to the Securities in accordance with Article III unless a Change in Control shall have occurred prior to such discharge. At the option of the Company, the portion of the Repurchase Price that is comprised of the Make-Whole Payment, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, accrued to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date, may be paid in cash or, subject to the fulfillment by the Company of the conditions set forth Section 12.2, by delivery of shares of Registered Common Stock or in a combination of cash and Registered Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such portion of the Repurchase Price. The Company shall not have the ability to repay the portion of the Repurchase Price that is comprised of principal or premium, if any, in shares of Common Stock. In the event that the Company elects to satisfy the portion of the Repurchase Price that is comprised of interest or Liquidated Damages by payment in shares of Common Stock, such Repurchase Price shall be adjusted in accordance with and shall be subject to the restrictions within Section 8.1(b) hereof. At the option of the Company, the Repurchase Price may be paid in cash or, subject to the

fulfillment by the Company of the conditions set forth Section 12.2, by delivery of shares of Registered Common Stock or in a combination of cash and Registered Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the Repurchase Price. Whenever in this Indenture (including Sections 2.2, 4.1(a) and 4.8) there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Repurchase Price that has become and remains payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of the Repurchase Price in any provision of this Indenture shall not be construed as excluding the Repurchase Price in those provisions of this Indenture when such express mention is not made; provided, however, that for the purposes of Article XI such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Repurchase Price only to the extent the Repurchase Price is payable in cash. Any such payment in Registered Common Stock shall be in compliance with Nasdaq shareholder approved rules.

SECTION 12.2 Conditions to the Company’s Election to Pay the Repurchase Price in Common Stock.

Subject to the restrictions on issuance contained in Section 8.1 and Section 8.7 herein, the Company may elect to pay the portion of the Repurchase Price that is comprised of the Make-Whole Payment, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, accrued to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date, by delivery of shares of Registered Common Stock pursuant to Section 12.1 if and only if the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

(a) As to each Holder, such portion of the Repurchase Price shall be paid only in cash in the event any shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder upon repurchase of Securities hereunder (1) require registration under any federal securities law before such shares may be freely transferable without being subject to any transfer restrictions under the Securities Act upon repurchase and if such registration is not completed or does not become effective prior to the Repurchase Date or (2) require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any state law or any other federal law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon repurchase and if such registration is not completed or does not become effective or such approval is not obtained prior to the Repurchase Date;

(b) Payment of such portion of the Repurchase Price may not be made in Common Stock unless such stock is, or shall have been, approved for quotation on the Nasdaq Global Market or listed or quoted on a national securities exchange or other quotation system, in either case, prior to the Repurchase Date; and

(c) All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon repurchase of Securities will be issued out of the Company’s authorized but unissued Common Stock will and, upon issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and free of any preemptive rights.

If all of the conditions set forth in this Section 12.2 are not satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof, the Repurchase Price shall be paid by the Company only in cash.

SECTION 12.3 Notices; Method of Exercising Repurchase Right, Etc.

(a) On or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company or, at the request and expense of the Company on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after

such occurrence, the Trustee, shall give to all Holders of Securities, in the manner provided in Section 1.6, notice (the “Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the Change in Control and of the repurchase right set forth herein arising as a result thereof. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice of a repurchase right to the Trustee.

Each notice of a repurchase right shall state:

(1) the Repurchase Date,

(2) the date by which the repurchase right must be exercised,

(3) the Repurchase Price, and whether the Repurchase Price shall be paid by the Company in cash or by delivery of shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof,

(4) a description of the procedure that a Holder must follow to exercise a repurchase right, and the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Repurchase Price and accrued interest, if any,

(5) that on the Repurchase Date, the Repurchase Price, and accrued interest, if any, will become due and payable upon each such Security designated by the Holder to be repurchased and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,

(6) the Conversion Rate then in effect, the date on which the right to convert the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased will terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion,

(7) the place or places that the Notice of Election of Holder to Require Repurchase attached hereto as Exhibit B, shall be delivered, and the form of such notice, and

(8) the CUSIP number or numbers of such Securities.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any Holder’s right to exercise a repurchase right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Securities.

If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Article XII are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.

(b) To exercise a repurchase right, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee on or before the thirtieth (30th) day (or such greater period as may be required by applicable law) after the date of the Company Notice (1) written notice of the Holder’s exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased (and, if any Security is to repurchased in part, the serial number thereof, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be repurchased and the name of the Person in which the portion thereof to remain Outstanding after such repurchase is to be registered) and a statement that an election to exercise the repurchase right is being made thereby, and, in the event that the Repurchase Price shall be paid in shares of Common Stock, the name or names (with addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issued, and (2) the Securities with respect to which the repurchase right is

being exercised. Such written notice shall be irrevocable, except that the right of the Holder to convert the Securities with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised shall continue until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date.

(c) In the event a repurchase right shall be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee the Repurchase Price in cash or shares of Common Stock, as provided above, for payment to the Holder on the Repurchase Date or, if shares of Common Stock are to be paid, as promptly after the Repurchase Date as practicable, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Repurchase Date payable with respect to the Securities as to which the purchase right has been exercised; provided, however, that installments of interest that mature on or prior to the Repurchase Date shall be payable in cash to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date.

(d) If any Security (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase shall not be so paid on the Repurchase Date, the principal amount of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall, until paid, bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law from the Repurchase Date at the rate then in effect per annum, and each Security shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the principal of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for.

(e) Any Security that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

(f) Any issuance of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Repurchase Price shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Repurchase Date and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such repurchase shall be deemed to have become on the Repurchase Date the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby; provided, however, that any surrender for repurchase on a date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the Person or Persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates for such shares are to be issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the opening of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open. No payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions on any Common Stock issued upon repurchase of any Security declared prior to the Repurchase Date.

(g) No fractions of shares shall be issued upon repurchase of Securities. If more than one Security shall be repurchased from the same Holder and the Repurchase Price shall be payable in shares of Common Stock, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon such repurchase shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities so repurchased. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable on the repurchase of any

Security or Securities, the Company will deliver to the applicable Holder a check for the current market value of such fractional share. The current market value of a fraction of a share is determined by multiplying the current market price of a full share by the fraction and rounding the result to the nearest cent. For purposes of this Section 12.3, the current market price of a share of Common Stock is the average of the high and low sales price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date.

(h) Any issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock on repurchase of Securities shall be made without charge to the Holder of Securities being repurchased for such certificates or for any tax or duty in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable in respect of (1) income of the Holder or (2) any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Securities being repurchased, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax or duty has been paid.

(i) All Securities delivered for repurchase shall be delivered to the Trustee to be canceled at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.10.

SECTION 14.4

Intentionally Omitted.

SECTION 14.5 Notice of Redemption.

Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date, notice of Redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities in the case of an Redemption by the Company.

(e) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price.

If any of the Securities to be redeemed is in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the procedures of the Depositary applicable to redemptions.

Notice of Redemption of Securities shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s written request delivered to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to giving of notice pursuant to this Section 14.5, by the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company. Notice of Redemption received by the Trustee shall be given by the Trustee to the Paying Agent in the name of and at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 14.6 Deposit of Redemption Price.

Not less than one (1) Business Day prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 8.3) an amount of money (which shall be in immediately available funds on such Redemption Date) sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued or unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages on, all the Securities that are to be redeemed on that date other than any Securities called for Redemption on that date that have been converted prior to the date of such deposit.

SECTION 14.7 Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities to be so redeemed shall, on the applicable Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price, including any applicable accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any Securities for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price together with any applicable accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages up to but not including the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of Section 2.8.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal amount of, premium, if any, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, accrued interest on such Security shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate then in effect, and such Security shall remain convertible until the principal of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for.

SECTION 14.8

Intentionally Omitted.

SECTION 14.9 Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption.

In connection with any redemption of the Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers (the “Purchasers”) to purchase such Securities by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Holders, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, an amount not less than the applicable Redemption Price, together with interest accrued and unpaid to such Redemption Date, of such Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XIV, the obligation of the Company to pay the applicable Redemption Price, together with any applicable interest accrued and unpaid to and Liquidated Damages, but not including, the Redemption Date, shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such Purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into (a copy of which shall be filed with the Trustee prior to the close of business on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately prior to the Redemption Date), any Securities called for redemption that are not duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and consistent with any agreement or agreements with such Purchasers, to be acquired by such Purchasers from such Holders and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XIV) surrendered by such Purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date (and the right to convert any such Securities shall be extended through such time), subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. At the direction of the Company, the Trustee shall hold and dispose of any such amount paid to it by the Purchasers to the Holders in the same manner as it would monies deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Securities. Without the Trustee’s prior written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such Purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Securities shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee as set forth in this Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with any such arrangement for the purchase and conversion of any Securities between the Company and such Purchasers, including the costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by the Trustee in the defense of any claim or liability arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Indenture.

[FORM OF REVERSE]

Indenture; Defined Terms. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its “5 ³/4% Convertible Senior Notes due December 15, 2011” (herein called the “Securities”), limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $56,000,000, issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of December 12, 2007 (herein called the “Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture

Payments of Interest. The company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security, from December 12, 2007, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing June 15, 2008, at the rate of 5 ³/4% per annum, until the principal hereof is due, and at the rate then in effect on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be June 1 and December 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any interest not punctually paid or duly provided for shall be payable as provided in the Indenture.

Method of Payment. Payment of interest or Liquidated Damages on this Security may be made at the option of the Company as follows: (i) by United States Dollar check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or, upon written application by the Holder to the Security Registrar setting forth wire instructions not later than the relevant Record Date, by wire transfer to a United States dollar account (such a wire transfer to be made only to a Holder of an aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities in excess of U.S. $2,000,000 and only if such Holder shall have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the relevant payment date) maintained by the payee, or (ii) in shares of Registered Common Stock, the fair market value which shall be determined by the Company and shall be equal to 95% of the Volume Weighted Average Price for each of the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date.

Payments in Registered Common Stock. To the extent payment in Common Stock is permitted by the Indenture, such payment can only be made in the form of Registered Common Stock.

Payments of Principal. Payments of principal shall be made upon the surrender of this Security at the Corporate Trust Office or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin

or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, by United States Dollar check drawn on, or wire transfer to, a United States Dollar account (such a wire transfer to be made only to a Holder of an aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities in excess of U.S. $2,000,000 and only if such Holder shall have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the relevant payment date) maintained by the payee.

Sinking Fund. No sinking fund is provided for the Securities.

Tax. Except as specifically provided herein and in the Indenture, the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on any Security or the last day on which a Holder of a Security has a right to convert its Security shall be, at any Place of Payment or Place of Conversion, as the case may be, a day on which banking institutions at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close, then payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest or delivery for conversion of such Security need not be made on or by such date at such place but may be made on or by the next succeeding day at such place which is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment or the date fixed for repurchase, or by such last day for conversion, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such due date. Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Redemption of Notes at Option of Company. All, but not less than all, of the Securities are subject to redemption at the option of the Company at any time on or after December 15, 2009 (“Optional Redemption”), upon not less than five (5) days notice to the Holders prior to the redemption date specified in such notice (the “Optional Redemption Date”) at a redemption price (the “Optional Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount and Make-Whole Payment, together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to, but excluding, the Optional Redemption Date. The Securities shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company other than pursuant to Article XIV of the Indenture.

Conversion at Option of Holder. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security is entitled, at its option, at any time after the original issue date of the Securities and on or before the close of business on December 15, 2011, or in case the Holder of this Security has exercised his right to require the Company to repurchase or redeem this Security or such portion hereof, then in respect of this Security until and including, but (unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon repurchase or redemption) not after, the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date or the Redemption Date, as applicable, to convert this Security or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 (provided that the unconverted portion of such principal amount is U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company at the initial Conversion Rate per

A-2

U.S. $1,000 principal amount of Securities (or at the current adjusted Conversion Rate, if any adjustment has been made as provided in the Indenture) by surrender of this Security, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank.

In case such surrender shall be made during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date (except if this Security or a portion thereof is repurchasable or redeemable, on a Repurchase Date or a Redemption Date, respectively, with the consequence that the conversion right of such Security would terminate between such Regular Record Date and the close of business on such Interest Payment Date), also accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of this Security then being converted and also the conversion notice hereon duly executed, to the Company at the Corporate Trust Office, or at such other office or agency of the Company, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto and subject to the right of the Company to terminate the appointment of any Conversion Agent (as defined below) as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate.

The interest so payable on such Interest Payment Date, with respect to any Security (or portion thereof, if applicable) that is surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date, shall be paid to the Holder of such Security as of such Regular Record Date. Interest payable in respect of any Security surrendered for conversion on or after an Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Holder of such Security as of the next preceding Regular Record Date, notwithstanding the exercise of the right of conversion.

Except as provided in this paragraph and subject to the Indenture, no cash payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the conversion date, in respect of any Security (or part thereof, as the case may be) surrendered for conversion, or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock issued upon conversion.

The Company’s delivery to the Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractions thereof, as provided in this Indenture) into which a Security is convertible and any rights pursuant to Section 10.4(m) of the Indenture will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the Security.

No fractions of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture.

The Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. In addition, the Indenture provides that in case of certain consolidations or mergers to which the Company is a party or the conveyance, transfer, sale or lease of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, the Indenture shall be amended, without the consent of any Holders of Securities, so that this Security, if then Outstanding, will be convertible thereafter, during the period this Security shall be convertible as specified above, only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other

A-3

property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which this Security could have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease (assuming such holder of Common Stock is not a Constituent Person or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person, failed to exercise any rights of election and received per share the kind and amount received per share by a plurality of Non-electing Shares). No adjustment in the Conversion Rate will be made until such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such rate; provided that any adjustment that would otherwise be made will be carried forward and taken into account in the computation of any subsequent adjustment.

Automatic Conversion of Notes. The Notes will automatically convert (an “Automatic Conversion”) at any time after December 15, 2009 and prior to December 15, 2011 if the Closing Price (as defined in the Indenture) per share of the Common Stock has exceeded one hundred and forty percent (140%) of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least twenty (20) Trading Days within a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending within five (5) Trading Days of the date the Company gives to all holders of Notes a notice of the Automatic Conversion, provided that either (x) a registration statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares is effective and available for use from the date of the notice of Automatic Conversion through and including the earlier of the date on which the Automatic Conversion becomes effective or the last date on which the registration statement is required to be kept effective under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, or (y) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Automatic Conversion may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (assuming, for purposes of such determination, that no recipient of Conversion Shares is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of such Rule and that all recipients of Conversion Shares have held the Notes since the date of their original issuance). The amount of Securities that shall automatically convert for any 30 Trading Day period shall equal the lesser of (i) the value of ten (10) times the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during such 20 day triggering period times the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock during such 20 day period, rounded down to the nearest $1,000, and (ii) one half of the principal amount of the Securities that have been authenticated under the Indenture as of the date of the Automatic Conversion Notice. Each 30 Trading Day period for which an Automatic Conversion may be triggered shall commence anew at the end of the period which triggered the Automatic Conversion.

If the effective date of an Automatic Conversion is prior to December 15, 2011, the Company shall pay to Holders a Make-Whole Payment in accordance with the Indenture.

The Company, or at its request (which must be received by the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date the Trustee is requested to give notice as described below unless a shorter period is agreed to by the Trustee), the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall send or cause to be sent a notice of the Automatic Conversion not more than thirty (30) days but not less than five (5) days before the date of effectiveness of the Automatic Conversion as set forth in the Indenture.

Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. If the Company fails to deliver to a Holder the applicable certificate or certificates by the fifth Trading Day following the delivery of the notice of conversion to the Trustee, and if after such date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or

otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such notice of conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) Securities equal to the aggregate principal amount of Securities submitted for conversion or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under the Indenture.

Optional Repurchase Upon Change of Control. If a Change in Control occurs, the Holder of this Security, at the Holder’s option, shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, to require the Company to repurchase this Security (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is equal to U.S. $1,000 or any greater integral multiple of U.S. $1,000) for cash at a Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Make-Whole Payment, together with interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, accrued to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date. At the option of the Company, the portion of the Repurchase Price that is comprised of the Make-Whole Payment, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, accrued to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date, may be paid in cash or, subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture, by delivery of shares of Registered Common Stock or in a combination of cash and Registered Common Stock, having a Fair Market Value Equal to such portion of the Repurchase Price.

[The following paragraph shall appear in each Registered Security that is not a Global Security:

In the event of repurchase, redemption or conversion of this Security in part only, a new Registered Security or Registered Securities for the unrepurchased, unredeemed or unconverted portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof.]

[The following three paragraphs shall appear in each Security that is a Restricted Security.]

Registration Rights Agreement. The Holder of this Security [if this Security is a Global Security, then insert—(including any Person that has a beneficial interest in this Security)] and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion hereof is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2007 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), executed by the Company. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of Registered Securities and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, in each case, that are Registrable Securities, at the Company’s expense, (a) to file on or before 90 days after the first date of original issuance of the Securities, a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) with the Commission with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities, (b) thereafter to use its best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or before 180 days after the first date of original issuance of the Securities, subject to the Company’s right to postpone having

A-5

the Shelf Registration Statement declared effective for an additional 60 days in limited circumstances described in the Registration Rights Agreement, and (c) to use its best efforts to maintain such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (1) the sale under the Shelf Registration Statement of all the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, (2) all of the Holders of Registrable Securities are able to sell all Registrable Securities immediately without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto, or (3) all Registrable Securities have ceased to be outstanding. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, if the Company fails to file the Shelf Registration Statement on or before 90 days after the first date of issuance of the Securities or have the Shelf Registration Statement declared effective on or prior to the 180th day following the initial issuance of the Securities or to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective thereafter and certain other circumstances as described in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay additional interest for the duration of such failure, from and including the date of such failure at a rate of 0.50% per year on the principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

If the Holder of this Security [if this Security is a Global Security, then insert— (including any Person that has a beneficial interest in this Security)] elects to sell this Security pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement then, by its acceptance hereof, such Holder of this Security agrees to be bound by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Registrable Securities which are the subject of such election.

Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, at any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, upon the request of a Holder of a Security or the holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder of Securities or such holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Securities, or to a prospective purchaser of any such security designated by any such Holder or holder, as the case may be, to the extent required to permit compliance by such Holder or holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the resale of any such security. “Rule 144A Information” shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d) (4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto).

Event of Default and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of declaration, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less than $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and furnished the Trustee reasonable indemnity, the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 30 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, and the Trustee has not received any direction inconsistent with such written request from the Holders of a majority

A-6

of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities during such 30 day period. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof, premium, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein or for the enforcement of the right to convert, redeem or repurchase this Security as provided in the Indenture.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security or such other Security.

Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of Registered Securities is registrable on the Security Register upon surrender of a Registered Security for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Registered Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees by the Registrar. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to recover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

[The following paragraph shall appear in each Global Security:

In the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Security, including an exchange, transfer, repurchase, redemption or conversion of this Security in part only, the Trustee, as custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.]

Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

A-7

Governing Law. The Indenture and this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, including, without limitation, Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

Authentication. Unless the certificate of authentication has been executed by the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of their respective authorized signatories, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
