Purchaser, to redeem (the “Redemption”) all of the Securities at a redemption
price equal to (i) the amount set forth below (expressed as percentages of the

(if any) by which the fair market value of on such date of the Common Stock into

8. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL.
     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, in the event of a
Change in Control, each Holder of the Securities shall have the right, at the
Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Securities
including any portion thereof which is $1,000 in principal amount or any
integral multiple thereof on a date selected by the Company (the “Repurchase
Date”), which date is no later than forty five (45) days after the date of the
Change in Control, at a price payable in cash equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the principal amount of such Security, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to, and including, the Repurchase Date.
     Within twenty five (25) days after the occurrence of the Change in Control,
the Company must mail, or cause to be mailed, notice of the occurrence of such
Change in Control to each Holder. Such notice shall include, among other things,
a description of the procedure which a Holder must follow to exercise the
Repurchase Right. To exercise the Repurchase Right, a Holder of Securities must,
in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, (i) deliver, no later than
the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase
Date, a Purchase Notice to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent)
or to the Paying Agent; and (ii) deliver, at any time after the delivery of such
Purchase Notice, the Securities with respect to which the Holder is exercising
its Repurchase Right (together with all necessary endorsements).
     A “Change In Control” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as:
     (i) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used for purposes of
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than a Permitted Holder, is
or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
total voting power of all classes of the Company’s Capital Stock entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors calculated on a fully-diluted basis;
or
     (ii) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, another Person
or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any
such event other than pursuant to a transaction where the Persons that
“beneficially owned,” directly or indirectly, the shares of the Company’s Voting
Stock immediately prior to such transaction, “beneficially own,” directly or
indirectly, immediately after such transaction, shares of the continuing,
surviving or acquiring corporation’s Voting Stock representing at least a
majority of the total voting power of all outstanding classes of the Voting
Stock of the continuing, surviving or acquiring corporation; or
     (iii) the sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to any “person” or “group” (as
such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), including
any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of
securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act;
provided, however, that a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred
if at least eighty percent (80%) of the consideration (other than cash payments
for fractional shares or pursuant to statutory appraisal rights) in the merger
or consolidation otherwise constituting the Change in Control consists of common
stock, depositary receipts or other certificates representing common equity
interests and any associated rights traded on a U.S. national

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

securities exchange or quoted on The Nasdaq National Market (or which will be so
traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such Change in
Control), and, as a result of such transaction or transactions, the Securities
become convertible solely into such common stock, depositary receipts or other
certificates representing common equity interests and associated rights.
9. CONVERSION.
     The Securities shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at any time
on or after the earlier of (x) the Registration Date or (y) 270 days following
the Issue Date but prior to the close of business on the Maturity Date, in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture and as set forth below.
     The initial Conversion Price is $8.14 per share, subject to adjustment in
the event of certain circumstances as specified in the Indenture. The Company
will deliver a check in lieu of any fractional share. On conversion, no payment
or adjustment for any unpaid and accrued interest on, or additional interest
with respect to, the Securities will be made, except as specified in the
Indenture.
     To convert a Security, a Holder must (1) complete and sign the Conversion
Notice attached to this Note, with appropriate signature guarantee, on the back
of the Security, (2) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (3) furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or
Conversion Agent and (4) pay any tax or duty if required pursuant to the
Indenture. A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the portion is $1,000
principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount.
     Any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security shall bear
the Private Placement Legend until such shares are sold pursuant to an effective
registration statement or after the second anniversary of the later of the Issue
Date and the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate was the owner of
such shares or the Security (or any predecessor security) from which such shares
were converted (or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under
the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder) (or such longer period
of time as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state
securities laws, as set forth in an Opinion of Counsel, unless otherwise agreed
by the Company and the Holder thereof).
10. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
11. SUBORDINATION.
     All obligations under the Notes will be subordinate to the extent set forth
in the Subordination Agreement. A Holder by its acceptance of a Security agrees
to be bound by the terms and provisions of Article XI of the Indenture and the
terms and provisions of the Subordination Agreement and authorizes and expressly
directs the Trustee, on its behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders
of Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Subordination Agreement) of the
Company (including, but not limited to, the execution of the Subordination
Agreement) and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes.

12. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.
     The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of
$1,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount. The
transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as
provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. 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 cover any tax or similar
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with certain transfers or
exchanges. The Company, the Trustee and the Registrar shall not be required to
register the transfer of or exchange any Security (i) during a period beginning
at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of
redemption of the Securities selected for Redemption under Section 3.4 of the

Security for all purposes.

     The Company shall not consolidate with, or merge with or into, or sell,
transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the

transaction or series of related transactions, unless (i) such other person is a
corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia; (ii) such person assumes by supplemental indenture all
the obligations of the Company under the Securities and the Indenture; and
(iii) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of
Default shall exist.
15. AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS.
     Subject to certain exceptions and to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Indenture and the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of
the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities, and certain existing Defaults or Events of Default may
be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding. In accordance with the terms of the
Indenture, the Company, with the consent of the Trustee, may amend or supplement
the Indenture or the Securities without notice to or the consent of any
Securityholder: (i) to evidence the assumption of the Company’s obligations by a
successor; (ii) to evidence the acceptance of appointment by a successor
trustee; (iii) to make any changes or modifications to the Indenture necessary
to cure and ambiguity or correct any error in the Indenture, so long as such
action will not adversely affect the interests of the Holders; (iv) to qualify

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Securities; (vi) to establish the forms or terms of the Securities; (vii) to add
to the covenants of the Company described in the Indenture for the benefit of
Securityholders; or (viii) to make other changes to the Indenture or forms or

aggregate with all other such changes has or will have a material adverse effect
on the interests of the Holders. In accordance with the terms of the Indenture,
certain amendments, supplements and waivers cannot be made without the consent
of each Holder of each outstanding Security affected.
16. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
     Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, an “Event of Default” occurs
if: (i) the Company fails to pay the principal of any Security when the same
becomes due and payable, whether at maturity, upon Redemption, on a Repurchase
Date with respect to a Repurchase Upon Change in Control or otherwise; (ii) the
Company fails to pay Interest on any Security when due, if such failure
continues for thirty (30) days after the date when due; (iii) the Company fails
to timely provide a Change in Control Notice, as required by the provisions of
this Indenture; (iv) the Company defaults in its obligation to convert the
Securities into shares of Common Stock, cash or a combination of cash and Common
Stock upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion right and such default continues
for ten (10) days; (v) the Company defaults in its obligation to repurchase any
Security on a Repurchase Date with respect to a Repurchase Upon Change in
Control or otherwise; (vi) the Company defaults in its obligation to redeem any
Security after exercise of its option to redeem; (vii) the Company fails to
perform or observe any of the covenants in Article IV of the Indenture for sixty
(60) days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company
and the Trustee by Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) in the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding; (viii) there occurs an
event of default with respect to the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’
Indebtedness having a principal amount then outstanding, individually or in the
aggregate, of at least fifteen million ($15,000,000), whether such Indebtedness
now exists or is hereafter incurred, which default or defaults: (a) shall have
resulted in such Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior
to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable; or
(b) shall constitute the failure to pay such Indebtedness at the final stated
maturity thereof (after expiration of any applicable grace period); (ix) any
final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of fifteen
million ($15,000,000) shall be rendered against the Company and shall not be
discharged for any period of sixty (60) consecutive days during which time a
stay of enforcement shall not be in effect or during which time an appeal has
not been filed; or (x) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization involving the Company.
     If an Event of Default (excluding an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.1(x) of the Indenture (but including an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.1(ix) of the Indenture)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by
notice to the Company or the Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the
Company and the Trustee, may declare the Securities to be immediately due and
payable in full. Upon such declaration, the principal of, premium, if any, and
any accrued and unpaid interest on, all Securities shall be due and payable
immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(x) of the Indenture
occurs, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities
shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders
of a majority in aggregate

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by written notice to the
Trustee may rescind or annul an acceleration and its consequences if (A) the
rescission would not conflict with any order or decree, (B) all existing Events
of Default, except the nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due
solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived and (C) all
amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.7 if the Indenture have been paid.
     Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided
in the Indenture. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust
or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the
rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability
unless the Trustee is offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; provided,
that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is
not inconsistent with such direction.
     If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
shall mail to Holders of Securities a notice of the Default or Event of Default
within ninety (90) days after such Event of Default becomes known to the
Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in payment on any Security (including
the failure to make a mandatory repurchase pursuant hereto), the Trustee may
withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in
good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the
Holders of the Securities.
17. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
     The Holders are entitled to registration rights as set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement. The Holders shall be entitled to receive
additional interest in certain circumstances, all as set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement.
18. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY.
     The Trustee under the Indenture, or any banking institution serving as
successor Trustee thereunder, in its individual or any other capacity, may make
loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for, the Company or its
Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it
were not Trustee.
19. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.
     No past, present or future director, officer, employee or shareholder, as
such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company
under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of,
or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a
Security, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are
part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.
20. AUTHENTICATION.
     This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent in accordance with the
Indenture.
