After an Original Debenture has been exchanged by an original Holder pursuant to this Indenture, a Holder’s interest in such Original Debenture may be represented by a beneficial interest in a Debenture issued in global form substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto and containing the Global Debenture Legend, which Debenture shall be deposited on behalf of the beneficial owners of the interests represented thereby with the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co., duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of each of the Global Debenture may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee as hereinafter provided, subject in each case to compliance with the Applicable Procedures.

     (c)  Global Debenture in General . Each Global Debenture shall represent such of the outstanding Debentures as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Debentures from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Debentures represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, purchases or conversions of such Debentures. Any adjustment of the aggregate principal amount of a Global Debenture to reflect

the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Debentures represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depository.

     If an Officer whose signature is on a Debenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Debenture, the Debenture shall be valid nevertheless.

     A Debenture shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Debenture. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Debenture has been authenticated under this Indenture.

     The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery Debentures for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000 upon receipt of a written order or orders of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (a “Company Order”).

the Debentures are to be authenticated. The initial aggregate principal amount of Debentures outstanding at any time may not exceed $30,000,000 except as provided in Section 2.07.

One of the Registrars (the “Primary Registrar”) shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange (the “Register”).

     The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or agent for service of notices and demands in any place required by this Indenture, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such.

The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith to

the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (other than the Company) shall have no further liability for the money.

      Section 2.05 Lists of Holders .

     The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Primary Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each semiannual Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

      Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange .

     Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in Section 2.14, when a Security comprised of a Debenture with the related Guarantee is presented to a Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such Debenture for an equal principal amount of Debentures of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met; provided , however , that every Debenture presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form in the applicable form included in Exhibit D , and in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Debenture for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Debentures of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, and provided , that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 3.04, Section 9.03(b) or Section 10.02(g) not involving any transfer.

     All Debentures issued upon any transfer or exchange of Debentures shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Debentures surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

     Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.03 shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Debentures upon transfer or exchange of Debentures.

     The registered holder of a Global Debenture may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that hold interests through Agent Members, to take action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Debentures.

     The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or other beneficial owners of interests in any Global Debenture) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

      Section 2.07 Replacement Debentures .

     If any mutilated Debenture is surrendered to the Company, a Registrar or the Trustee, or the Company, a Registrar and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debenture, and there is delivered to the Company, the applicable Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as will be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, such Registrar or the Trustee that such Debenture has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute, and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Debenture or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture, a new Debenture of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

     In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the Company pursuant to Article 3, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Debenture, pay or purchase such Debenture, as the case may be.

     Upon the issuance of any new Debenture under this Section 2.07, 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 and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Registrar) in connection therewith.

     Every new Debenture issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debentures duly issued hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debentures.

      Section 2.08 Outstanding Debentures .

     Debentures outstanding at any time are all Debentures authenticated by the Trustee, except for those canceled by it, those converted pursuant to Article 10, those delivered to it for cancellation or surrendered for transfer or exchange and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.

     If a Debenture is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Company receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Debenture is held by a bona-fide purchaser.

     If a Paying Agent holds at noon, New York City time, on the Maturity Date Cash sufficient to pay the principal amount of the Debentures payable on that date together with any accrued but unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, then on and after the Maturity Date, such Debenture shall cease to be outstanding and the principal amount thereof shall cease to bear interest.

      Section 2.10 Temporary Debentures .

     Until definitive Debentures are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debentures. Temporary Debentures shall be substantially in the form of definitive Debentures but may have variations that the Company with the consent of the Trustee considers appropriate for temporary Debentures. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Debentures in exchange for temporary Debentures.

      Section 2.11 Cancellation .

     The Company at any time may deliver Debentures to the Trustee for cancellation.

      Section 2.12 CUSIP Numbers .

     The Company in issuing any Global Debentures may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Debentures or as contained in any notice of a redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Debentures, and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

      Section 2.13 Book-entry Provisions For Global Debentures .

     (a) Transfers of Global Debentures shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Agent Members shall have

no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Debenture held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Debenture, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Debenture for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, shall give effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository (or its nominee) and will not impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the beneficial owners of the interests represented by such Global Debenture.

     (b) In addition, after Debentures are issued in substitution for the Global Debentures, Certificated Debentures shall be transferred to all beneficial owners, as identified by the Depository, in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Debentures if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that the Depository is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for any Global Debenture (or it ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act) and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or cessation or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a written request from the Depository to issue Certificated Debentures.

     (c) In connection with the transfer of a Global Debenture in its entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.13(b), such Global Debenture shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon written instructions from the Company authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Debenture, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Debentures of authorized denominations.

     (d) Any Certificated Debenture constituting a Restricted Certificated Debenture delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Debenture pursuant to Section 2.13(b) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.14, bear the Restricted Debenture Legend.

     (e) The Holder of a Global Debenture may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture, the Debentures or any Security Document.

      Section 2.14 Special Transfer Provisions .

     (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, but except as provided in Section 2.14(b), a Global Debenture may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

     (b) Every Debenture that bears or is required under this Section 2.14(b) to bear the Restricted Debenture Legend, and any Common Stock that bears or is required under this Section 2.14(b) to bear the Restricted Common Stock Legend (each, a “Restricted Security”, and, collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set

forth in the Restricted Debenture Legend or the Restricted Common Stock Legend, as the case may be, unless such restrictions on transfer shall be waived by written consent of the Company or as otherwise permitted by Section 4.1(b) of the Purchase Agreement, and the holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.14(b), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security or any interest therein.

     Any certificate evidencing such Debenture (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof), and any stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Debenture, shall bear a Restricted Debenture Legend or Restricted Common Stock Legend, as the case may be, unless such Debenture has, or such shares of Common Stock have, been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A or any similar provision then in force, or such shares of Common Stock have been issued upon conversion of Debentures that have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee.

     Any Debenture (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to conditions for removal of the Restricted Debenture Legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of such Debenture for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.06, be exchanged for a new Debenture or Debentures, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Restricted Debenture Legend. If the Restricted Debenture surrendered for exchange is represented by a Global Debenture bearing the Restricted Debenture Legend, the principal amount of the legended Global Debenture shall be reduced by the appropriate principal amount and the principal amount of a Global Debenture without the Restricted Debenture Legend shall be increased by an equal principal amount. If a Global Debenture without the Restricted Debenture Legend is not then outstanding, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver an unlegended Global Debenture to the Depository.

     Any such shares of Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for removal of the Restricted Common Stock Legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the Restricted Common Stock Legend required by this Section 2.14.

     (c) By its acceptance of any beneficial interest in a Restricted Security bearing a Restricted Security legend, each beneficial owner of such an interest shall be deemed to have acknowledged the restrictions on transfer of such Restricted Security set forth in this Indenture and in the Restricted Security legend, and agreed that it will transfer such beneficial interest only as provided in this Indenture and as permitted by applicable law.

     (d) The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 2.14. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time during normal hours of operation of the Registrar upon the giving of reasonable notice to the Registrar.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Company Optional Redemption Amount or a Holder Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, each Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio, and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption, the Company shall have no further right to exercise such Optional Redemption. Holders may elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures pursuant to Article 10 prior to actual payment in cash for any redemption under this Article 3 by the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Conversion Agent. Upon completion of any redemption provided for under this Article 3, the Company will promptly and in no event later than four (4) Business Days file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material details of such redemption.

      Section 7.02 Certain Rights of Trustee .

     Subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 315(a) through (d):

     (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely, and will be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, Debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document (“Paper”) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the Paper, but, in the case of any Paper which is specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof, the Trustee shall examine the Paper to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). The Trustee, in its discretion, may make further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit.

     (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel conforming to Section 14.06 and the Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

     (c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

     (d) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

     (e) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.04 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture, any Transaction Document or any Security Document provided , however , that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence.

     (f) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

     (g) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

     (h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

     (i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual conscious (as opposed to constructive)

knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Debentures and this Indenture.

     (j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

      Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee .

     (b) The Company and the Guarantors will indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, claim, damage, cost or liability or expense incurred by it without negligence or willful misconduct on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its duties under this Indenture, the Debentures, the Transaction Documents and the Security Documents, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture, the Debentures, the Transaction Documents and the Security Documents.

     (c) To secure the Company’s and Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Debentures in accordance with the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, and interest on particular Debentures.

     The provisions of this Section will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

     The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

     (iii) If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10 or in the circumstances described in Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b), any Holder that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     (b) If the Trustee has been removed by the Holders, Holders of at least 67% in principal amount of the Debentures may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 67% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     (c) Upon delivery by the successor Trustee of a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company, (i) the retiring Trustee will transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07(c), (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and (iii) the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture, the Transaction Documents and the Security Documents.

      Section 7.10 Eligibility .

     This Indenture must always have a Trustee that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

ARTICLE 8.
DISCHARGE

      Section 8.01 Satisfaction and Discharge of this Indenture .

     (a) This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect if either: (i) all outstanding Debentures (other than Debentures replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Debentures have become due and payable on the Maturity Date or upon redemption pursuant to Article 3, and the Company has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (if the Paying Agent is not the Company or any of its Affiliates) Cash, and, if applicable as herein provided and in accordance herewith, such other consideration, sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all outstanding Debentures (other than Debentures replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) on the Maturity Date or the Change of Control Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided that, in either case, the Company pays to the Trustee all other sums payable hereunder by the Company.

     (b) The Company may exercise its satisfaction and discharge option with respect to the Debentures only if:

     (i) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Debentures shall exist on the date of such deposit;

     (ii) such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default or Event of Default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; and

     (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which may rely upon such Officers’ Certificate as to the absence of Defaults and Events of Default and as to any factual matters), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.07 shall survive and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Section 2.03, Section 2.04, Section 2.05, Section 2.06, Section 2.07, Section 2.14, Section 3.02, Article 5, Article 10 and this Article 8, shall survive and the Company shall be required to make all payments and deliveries required by such Sections or Articles, as the case may be, irrespective of any prior satisfaction and discharge until the Debentures have been paid in full.

      Section 8.02 Application of Trust Money .

     Subject to the provisions of Section 8.03, the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall hold in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, all money deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01 and shall apply the deposited money in accordance with this Indenture and the Debentures to the payment of the principal amount of and interest on the Debentures.

      Section 8.03 Repayment to Company .

     The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess money (x) deposited with them pursuant to Section 8.01 and (y) held by them at any time.

     The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall also pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of the principal amount of Debentures or interest thereon that remains unclaimed for two years after a right to such money has matured (which maturity shall occur, for the avoidance of doubt, on the Maturity Date or the Change of Control Redemption Date (with respect to any Debentures repurchased pursuant to Article 3)). After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

      Section 8.04 Reinstatement .

     If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 8.02 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, or any amount previously paid is required to be returned to the Company’s bankruptcy estate as a preferential transfer, then the Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Debentures, the Security Documents and any other Transaction Document (and any liens arising thereunder) shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02; provided, however, if the Company has made any payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Debenture because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Debentures to receive any such payment from the money held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9.

     (o) to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

     Upon the request of the Company and the Guarantors accompanied by resolutions of the boards of directors of the Company and the Guarantors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement to this Indenture, the Securities, the Transaction Documents or the Security Documents, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b) hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amendment or supplement to this Indenture, the Securities, the Transaction Documents or the Security Documents authorized or permitted by the terms hereof and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such amendment or supplement that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, the Securities, the Transaction Documents or the Security Documents or otherwise.

      Section 9.02 Amendments with Consent of Holders .

     (a) Except as provided in Section 9.01, no provision of this Indenture, the Securities, the Transaction Documents or the Security Documents may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company, the Guarantors and the Holders, except that Section 4.05 of this Indenture may be waived or amended with the prior written consent of the Holders of at least 67% of the principal amount of Debentures then outstanding (provided that no consideration shall be offered or paid to any Holder of Debentures to consent to any such amendment or waiver unless the same consideration is offered to all Holders of the Debentures). After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02. Any waiver by the Company, the Guarantors or the Holders of a breach of any provision of this Indenture, the Securities, the Transaction Documents or the Security Documents shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Indenture, the Securities, the Transaction Documents or the Security Documents. The failure of the Company, the Guarantors or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Indenture, the Securities, the Transaction Documents or the Security Documents on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Indenture, the Securities, the Transaction Documents or the Security Documents. Any waiver by the Company, the Guarantors or the Holders must be in writing.

     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not

     (i) reduce the principal amount of, Change of Control Redemption Price with respect to, or any liquidated damages or interest payment on, any Debenture,

     (ii) make any Debenture payable in currency or securities other than that stated in the Debentures,

     (iii) change the stated maturities of any installment of principal of any Debenture,

     (iv) make any change that adversely affects the Holders’ right to convert any Debenture,

     (v) make any change that adversely affects the Holders’ right to require the Company to purchase the Debentures in accordance with the terms thereof and this Indenture,

     (vi) impair the right to convert or receive any principal or interest payment with respect to, a Debenture, or right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment with respect to, or conversion of, the Debentures, or

     (vii) make any change in the percentage of the principal amount of the Debentures required for amendments or waivers.

     (c) It is not necessary for Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but is sufficient if their consent approves the substance thereof.

     (d) An amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section will become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company will send to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company will send supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

     (e) With respect to the amendments set forth in Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02, no such amendment to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency made solely to conform this Indenture to the provisions of the description of the Securities, as set forth in the final Prospectus, will be deemed to adversely affect the interests of the Holders.

      Section 9.03 Effect of Consent .

     (a) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder unless it is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected. If the amendment, supplement or waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder that has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Debenture that evidences the same debt as the Debenture of the consenting Holder.

     (b) If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Debenture, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation of the changed terms on the Debenture and return it to the Holder, or exchange it for a new Debenture that reflects the changed terms. The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Debenture thereafter authenticated. However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver is not affected by any failure to annotate or exchange Debentures in this fashion.

      Section 9.04 Trustee’s Rights and Obligations .

     The Trustee shall be provided with, and will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. If the Trustee has received such an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate, it shall sign the amendment, supplement or waiver so long as the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture.

      Section 9.05 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act .

     Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

      Section 9.06 Payments for Consents .

     Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid or agreed to be paid to all Holders of the Securities that consent, waive or agree to amend such term or provision within the time period set forth in the solicitation documents relating to the consent, waiver or amendment.

ARTICLE 10.
CONVERSION

      Section 10.01 Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price .

     (a)  Voluntary Conversion . At any time after the Original Issue Date until the Debentures are no longer outstanding, the principal amount of the Debentures shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holders, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 10.02(c) hereof) (the “Conversion”). A beneficial owner, acting through the Holder, shall effect conversions by delivering to the Conversion Agent a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached to the Debenture (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of the Debenture to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Debenture to the Conversion Agent unless the entire principal amount of the Debenture has been so converted, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been paid. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Conversion Agent and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Company may deliver a valid objection to any Notice of Conversion

promptly but in any event within 3 Business Days of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. Absent manifest error, the Holder’s records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s) shall be determinative.

     (b)  Conversion Price . The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $6.50, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 10.06.

     (c) Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Debenture also apply to conversion of a portion of a Debenture.

     (d) A Holder of Debentures is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such Holder has converted its Debenture into Common Stock, and only to the extent such Debentures are deemed to have been converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Article 10.

     (e) By delivering the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion to the Trustee, or to the Conversion Agent, if the Conversion Agent is other than the Trustee, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Debentures so converted; provided, however, that the Company shall retain its obligation to pay accrued and unpaid interest, attributable to the period from the most recent Interest Payment Date through the Conversion Date on the Conversion Date.

     (f) The Trustee may conclusively rely on the Company’s calculations of the Interest Make-Whole.

      Section 10.02 Conversion Procedure .

     (a)  Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount . The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be calculated by the Company and such calculation will be provided to the Trustee and Holders and shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of a Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.

     (b)  Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion . Not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall issue and deliver to the Trustee, for delivery to the Holder (unless a different Person is indicated on the Notice of Conversion), (A) a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date (unless the Holder is then an Affiliate of the Company) and (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of a Debenture, (B) a bank check or wire of immediately available funds, at the Company’s option, in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, and (C) as to Conversion Dates that occur prior to the three year anniversary of the Original Issue Date, a bank check or wire transfer in the amount equal to the Interest Make-Whole, or a certificate or certificates representing shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated in accordance with Section 11.02 hereof with respect to the Interest Make-Whole. On or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date and (ii) the Effective Date, the Company shall use its commercially

reasonable efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 10.02(b) electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Debenture, Notices of Conversion may be delivered and such Debentures may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.

     (c)  Conversion Limitations . The Company shall not effect any conversion of a Debenture, and a beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Debenture shall not have the right to convert any portion of a Debenture, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the beneficial owner (together with the beneficial owner’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with the beneficial owner or any of the beneficial owner’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the beneficial owner and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Debenture with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of such Debenture beneficially owned by the beneficial owner or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Debentures) beneficially owned by the beneficial owner or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 10.02(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 10.02(c) applies, the determination of whether the Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by a beneficial owner together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of the Debenture is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the beneficial owner , and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner ‘s determination of whether the Debenture may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the beneficial owner together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of the Debenture is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the beneficial owner will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 10.02(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the beneficial owner may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report, as the case may be; (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company; or (C) a more recent notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a beneficial owner, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the beneficial owner the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be

determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including a Debenture, by the beneficial owner or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture held by the beneficial owner. Each Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 10.02(c), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Debenture held by the beneficial owner and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 10.02(c), shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 10.02(c), to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of the Debentures.

     (d)  Failure to Deliver Certificates . If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to the Trustee, for delivery to the Holder, or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Conversion Agent at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Notice of Conversion, in which event the Conversion Agent shall promptly return to the Holder any Debenture delivered to the Conversion Agent and the Holder shall promptly return to the Trustee the Common Stock certificates representing the principal amount of the Debenture unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Company.

     (e)  Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages . The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Debentures in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a beneficial owner to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by a beneficial owner or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by a beneficial owner or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to a beneficial owner in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against a beneficial owner. In the event a beneficial owner of a Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that a beneficial owner or anyone associated or affiliated with a beneficial owner has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to a beneficial owner, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of a Debenture shall have been

sought and obtained and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of a beneficial owner in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such beneficial owner to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Trustee such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 10.02(b) by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to such beneficial owner, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such third Trading Day until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a beneficial owner’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Article 6 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and a beneficial owner shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a beneficial owner from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof, under the Securities or under applicable law.

     (f)  Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion . In addition to any other rights available to a beneficial owner, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Trustee for delivery to the beneficial owner, on behalf of such beneficial owner, such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 10.02(b), the Company shall notify the Trustee within five (5) Business Days of its failure to deliver to the Trustee such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date, and, if after such Share Delivery Date the beneficial owner is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the beneficial owner or its brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the beneficial owner of the Conversion Shares which the beneficial owner was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Conversion Agent for delivery to the Holder, on behalf of such beneficial owner (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the beneficial owner, on behalf of such beneficial owner), the amount by which (x) the beneficial owner’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the beneficial owner 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 the beneficial owner, either reissue (if surrendered) the Debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion or deliver to the Trustee for delivery to the Holder, on behalf of such beneficial owner, the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 10.02(b). For example, if a beneficial owner purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of a Debenture with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required

to pay the beneficial owner $1,000. The beneficial owner shall provide the Conversion Agent written notice indicating the amounts payable to the beneficial owner in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a beneficial owner’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 a Debenture as required pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof.

     (g) In the case of any Debenture which is converted in part only and surrendered to the Conversion Agent, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, without service charge, a new Debenture or Debentures of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the, and in exchange for, unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Debenture. A Debenture may be converted in part, but only if the principal amount of such part is an integral multiple of $1,000 and the principal amount of such Debenture to remain outstanding after such conversion is equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

      Section 10.03 Fractional Shares .

     No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of a Debenture. As to any fraction of a share which a beneficial owner would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

      Section 10.04 Taxes on Conversion .

     The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of a Debenture shall be made without charge to the beneficial owner thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the beneficial owner of a Debenture so converted and the Conversion Agent shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Conversion Agent
