W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company’s 6.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”) were initially issued pursuant to the Indenture.

(“Parent”) and Micro Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), whereby Merger Sub conducted a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock for $5.05 per share. The Tender Offer expired on December 17, 2013 and on December 18, 2013, Merger Sub purchased 30,773,328 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 70.1% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. Following completion of the Offer, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Except as provided in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the Merger, each holder of Common Stock became entitled to receive $5.05 for each share of Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 10.10 of the Indenture, at the effective time of the Merger (which constitutes a “Merger Event”), the Company and the Trustee are required to enter into a supplemental indenture to provide that at and after the effective time of the Merger, each Holder of Notes then outstanding shall have the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into an amount of cash that such Holder would have been entitled to receive if such Holder had held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Merger.

WHEREAS, the Company desires to enter into this Supplemental Indenture in accordance with Sections 9.01(2) and 10.10 of the Indenture.
