Section 11.3 Announcements.

     No press release, public statement or announcement or other public disclosure with respect to
this Addendum or the transactions contemplated in this Addendum may be made except with the prior
written consent and joint approval of the Parties, or if required by Law or a Governmental Entity.

Section 11.4 Third Party Beneficiaries.

     The Parties intend that this Addendum will not benefit or create any right or cause of action
in favour of any Person, other than the Parties. No Person, other than the Parties, is entitled to
rely on the provisions of this Addendum in any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or other forum.
The Parties reserve their right to vary or rescind the rights at any time and in any way
whatsoever, if any, granted by or under this Addendum to any Person who is not a Party, without

Section 11.5 Joint and Several Liability.

     Each Principal, other than each Non-Active Principal, is jointly and severally liable with the
Shareholder of which it is the Principal as a principal and not as a surety, with respect to all of
the representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements of such Shareholder under
this Addendum.

Section 11.6 No Agency or Partnership.

     Nothing contained in this Addendum makes or constitutes any Party, or any of its directors,
officers or employees, the trustee, fiduciary, representative, agent, principal, partner, joint
venturer, employer, employee of any other Party. It is understood that no Party has the capacity to
make commitments of any kind or incur obligations or liabilities binding upon any other Party.

Section 11.7 Expenses.

     Other than MPA, each Party will pay for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the Debenture, this Addendum and the transactions contemplated by it. The Corporation shall be
responsible for the payment of MPA’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
Debenture, this Addendum and the transactions contemplated by them. The fees and expenses
referred to in this Section are those which are incurred in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, execution and performance of this Addendum and the Debenture, and the transactions
contemplated by this Addendum and the Debenture, including the fees and expenses of legal counsel,
investment advisers and accountants.

     Any expense reimbursement obligations shall be paid by the Corporation to or to the order of

MPA setting out the amount due as well as supporting documentation in form satisfactory to the
Corporation, acting reasonably.

Section 11.8 Amendments.

     This Addendum may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by written agreement signed
by (i) Shareholders then holding 90% or more of the Shares; and (ii) MPA.

Section 11.9 Waiver.

     No waiver of any of the provisions of this Addendum will constitute a waiver of any other
provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the
Party to be bound by the waiver. A Party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this
Addendum will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will
not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other
right.

Section 11.10 Entire Agreement.

     This Addendum and the Shareholders Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
Parties with respect to the matters contemplated therein and supersede all prior agreements,
understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties related to
such matters.

-27-

 

Section 11.11 Successors and Assigns.

	(1)	 	This Addendum becomes effective only when executed by all of the Parties. After that
time, it is binding on and endures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs,
administrators, executors, legal personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

	(2)	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Addendum, neither this Addendum nor any of the
rights or obligations under this Addendum are assignable or transferable by any Party without
the prior written consent of the other Parties, which may be unreasonably withheld.

Section 11.12 Severability.

     If any provision of this Addendum is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, by an
arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal exists or is taken, that
provision will be severed from this Addendum and the remaining provisions will remain in full force
and effect.

Section 11.13 Governing Law.

     This Addendum is governed by, and is to be interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the
laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

Section 11.14 Counterparts.

     This Addendum may be executed in any number of counterparts (including counterparts by
facsimile) and all such counterparts taken together will be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument. The Party sending the facsimile transmission will also deliver the original signed
counterpart to the other Party, however, failure to deliver the original signed counterpart shall
not invalidate this Addendum.

Section 11.15 Corporate Opportunities

     The Corporation and the Shareholders acknowledge that MPA will likely have, from time to time,
information acquired independently from its relationship with the Corporation and the Shareholders
and that may be of interest to the Corporation (the “Information”) regarding a wide variety of
matters including, by way of example, (a) MPA’s investments, plans and services, and plans and
strategies relating thereto, (b) current and future investments MPA has made, may make, may
consider or may become aware of with respect to other companies and other investments, products and
services, including, without limitation, products and services that may be competitive with the
Corporation’s and (c) developments with respect to the auto parts industry, products and services,
and plans and strategies relating thereto, of other companies, including, without limitation,
companies that may be competitive with the Corporation. The Corporation and the Shareholders
recognize that a portion of such Information may be of interest to the Corporation. Such
Information may or may not be known by MPA. The Corporation and the Shareholders, as a material
part of the consideration for this Agreement, agree that MPA shall have no duty to disclose any
Information to the Corporation or permit the Corporation to participate in any projects or
investments based on any Information, or to otherwise take advantage of any opportunity that may be
of interest to the Corporation if it were aware of such Information,

-28-

 

and hereby waives, to the
extent permitted by law, any claim based on the corporate opportunity doctrine or otherwise that
could limit MPA’s ability to pursue opportunities based on such Information or that would require
any such party to disclose any such Information to the Corporation or offer any opportunity
relating thereto to the Corporation.

Section 11.16 Non-Competition.

     During the term of this agreement and for a period of two years following, the later of the
date upon which the employment of a Shareholder or Principal by the Corporation is terminated for
any reason or such Shareholder or Principal ceases to be a director of the Corporation, such
Shareholder or Principal shall not, on his own behalf or on behalf of or in connection with any
Person, directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever, carry on, be
engaged in, have any financial or other interest in or be otherwise commercially involved in
any endeavour, activity or business in all or any part of the Territory which is substantially the
same as or is in competition, in whole or in part, with the Business.

Section 11.17 Non-Solicitation of Customers.

     During the term of this agreement and for a period of two years following the later of the
date upon which the employment of a Shareholder or Principal by the Corporation is terminated for
any reason or such Shareholder or Principal ceases to be a director of the Corporation, such
Shareholder or Principal shall not, on his own behalf or on behalf of or in connection with any
other Person, directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever:

customer of the Corporation or its Affiliates;

	 	(ii)	 	accept (or procure or assist the acceptance of) any business
from any customer or prospective customer of the Corporation or its
Affiliates; or

	 	(iii)	 	supply (or procure or assist the supply of) any goods or
services to any customer or prospective customer of the Corporation or its
Affiliates;

provided that the “canvassing”, “soliciting”, “accepting business” and “supplying” prohibited above
is limited in each case to undertaking such activity in relation to services or products which are
substantially the same as or in competition, in whole or in part, services or products
manufactured, remanufactured or distributed in connection with the Business in the relevant period.

Section 11.18 Non-Solicitation of Employees.

     During the term of this agreement and for a period of two years following the later of the
date upon which the employment of a Shareholder or Principal by the Corporation is terminated for
any reason or such Shareholder or Principal ceases to be a director of the Corporation, such
Principal shall not, on their own behalf or on behalf of or in connection with any other Person,
directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever:

-29-

 

	 	(i)	 	employ, offer employment to or solicit the employment or
engagement of or otherwise entice away from the employment of the Corporation
or its Affiliates any individual who is employed by the Corporation or its
Affiliates, whether or not such individual would commit any breach of his
contract or terms of employment by leaving the employ of the Corporation or
its Affiliates; or

	 	(ii)	 	procure or assist any Person to employ, offer employment or
solicit the employment or engagement of or otherwise entice away from the
employment of the Corporation or its Affiliates any such individual who is

ARTICLE II

ISSUE, DESCRIPTION, EXECUTION, REGISTRATION AND EXCHANGE OF NOTES

               Section 2.01. Designation and Amount The Notes shall be designated as the “6.25%
Senior Convertible Notes due 2015.” The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to $150,000,000, except for Notes
authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of
other Notes pursuant to Section 2.07, Section 10.02, Section 11.01 and Section 2.08 hereof.

               Section 2.02. Form of Notes The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication
to be borne by such Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

          Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such
notations, legends or endorsements as the officers executing the same may approve (execution
thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and that are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required by the Depositary, as may be required to comply
with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of
any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or
designated for issuance, or to conform to usage or to indicate any special limitations or
restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

          A Global Note shall represent such principal amount of the Outstanding Notes as shall be
specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect
repurchases, conversions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global
Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of Outstanding Notes
represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee,
in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with this
Indenture. Payment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest on a Global Note shall be made to
the Holder of such Note on the date of payment, unless a Record Date or other means of determining
Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.

          The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto
are incorporated herein and shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this
Indenture and to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and
delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

     Section 2.03. Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest The Notes shall be
issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations

10

 

of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear
interest from the date specified on the face of the form of Note attached as Exhibit A
hereto. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months.

          The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Security) is registered on the Note
Register at the Close of Business on any Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date
shall be entitled to receive the accrued and unpaid interest payable on such Interest Payment Date,
subject to Section 4.01(b) hereof. Interest shall be payable at the office of the Company
maintained by the Company for such purposes in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, which
shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Company shall pay interest (i) on any
Notes in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it
appears in the Note Register (or upon written application by such Person to the Security Registrar
not later than the relevant Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such
Person’s account within the United States, if such Person is entitled to interest on an aggregate
principal in excess of $2,000,000) or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The term “Record Date” with
respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the June 1 or December 1 preceding the applicable
June 15 or December 15 Interest Payment Date, respectively.

               Section 2.04. Security Registrar, Conversion Agent and Paying Agent

          The Trustee shall initially serve as the Security Registrar, Conversion Agent and Paying Agent
for the Notes. The Security Registrar, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent shall each
maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City. The Security Registrar
shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note Register”). The
Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional conversion agents and paying
agents. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agents, the term Conversion Agent
includes any additional conversion agents and the term Security Registrar includes any
co-registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Security
Registrar without prior notice to any Holder.

          The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Security Registrar,
Conversion Agent or Paying Agent that is 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 in writing of the name and address of each such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a
Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be
entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 6.07. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent,
Conversion Agent or Security Registrar.

          The Company may remove any Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent upon written
notice to such Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided,
however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of any appointment by a
successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor
Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent, as the case

11

 

may be, and such agreement is delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as
Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in
accordance with clause (i) above. The Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent may
resign at any time upon written notice to the Company and the Trustee.

          Section 2.05. Conversion Agent and Paying Agent to Hold Money and Property in
Trust

          Except as otherwise provided herein, on or prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each due
date of payment or settlement date of conversion in respect of any Note, the Company shall deposit
with the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, a sum of money (in immediately available
funds) and any property due upon conversion sufficient to make such payments or conversion when
due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (other than the Trustee) to
agree in writing that such Paying Agent or Conversion Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
Holders or the Trustee all money or property held by such Paying Agent or Conversion Agent for the
payment of principal of, interest on, and other payments and conversion in respect of the Notes,
and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment or
conversion. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, it shall
segregate the money or property held by it as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent and hold it as a
separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money or property
held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent or Conversion
Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (if other than
the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money or property delivered to
the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the
Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent and Conversion Agent for the Notes.

               Section 2.06. Holder Lists

          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. If the Trustee is not the Security
Registrar, the Company, on its own behalf, shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing, at least seven
Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may
reasonably request in writing upon at least 15 days’ prior written request, a list in such form and
as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

          Section 2.07. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on
Transfer; Depositary

          (a) Every Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof)
that bears, or is required under this Section 2.07 to bear, the Restricted Note Legend (together
with any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes that bears, or is required under this
Section 2.07 to bear, the Restricted Common Stock Legend, collectively, the “Restricted
Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section

12

 

2.07 (including those set forth in the Restricted Note Legend and the Restricted Common Stock Legend, as
applicable), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by
written consent of the Company following receipt of legal advice satisfactory to the Company in its
sole discretion, supporting the permissibility of the waiver of such transfer restrictions, and the
Holder of each such Note or shareholder of such Common Stock, as applicable, by such Holder’s or
shareholder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used
in this Section 2.07, the term “transfer” means any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other
disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security or any interest therein.

          (b) Until the date that is one year after the last date of the original issuance of the Notes
or such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable laws (such applicable date, the
“Resale Restriction Termination Date”): (i) each certificate evidencing a Note shall bear the
Restricted Note Legend and (ii) each certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of the Notes shall bear the Restricted Common Stock Legend; unless such Restricted
Security has 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 sold
pursuant to Rule 144, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing as set forth above, with
written notice thereof to the Trustee.

          (c) In connection with any transfer of the Notes prior to the Resale Restriction Termination
Date, the holder must complete and deliver the Form of Assignment and Transfer attached hereto as
Exhibit D, with the appropriate box checked, to the Trustee (or any successor Trustee, as
applicable).

          (d) Any Notes that are Outstanding following the Resale Restriction Termination Date and any
Notes as to which the conditions for the removal of the Restricted Note Legend set forth thereon
have been satisfied may, upon surrender of such Notes to the Security Registrar for exchange in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.07, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like
tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Restricted Note Legend. The
Company will cause the removal of the legends required by Section 2.07(b) from any Global Note
promptly following the Resale Restriction Termination Date by: (i) instructing the Trustee in
writing to remove such legends from such Global Note; (ii) providing to the Trustee and the
Depositary written notice to change the CUSIP number for the Notes to the applicable unrestricted
CUSIP number; and (iii) complying with any Applicable Procedures for delegending or otherwise
exchanging such Global Note for a Global Note not bearing the restrictive legend (including DTC’s
mandatory exchange process, if applicable); whereupon any legends otherwise required by Section
2.07(b) shall be deemed removed from any Global Notes without any further action on the part of the
Holders.

          Prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any Notes purchased or owned by the Company
or any Subsidiary thereof may not be resold by the Company or such Subsidiary unless registered
under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act in a transaction which results in such Notes no longer being “restricted
securities” (as defined under Rule 144).

          (e) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this instrument or under

13

 

applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note 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 instrument, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

          (f) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless
otherwise required by law, all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form
(each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary.
The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note, which does not involve the
issuance of a definitive Note, shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the
Custodian) in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth
herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

               Section 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes

          If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with such
security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any
agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of the same series and principal amount, containing
identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

          If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) such security or indemnity as
may be required by them 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 Note has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the
same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.

          Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay the amount due and payable with respect to such
Note.

          Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, 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 expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee) connected therewith.

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

14

 

          The provisions of this Section 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 Notes.

               Section 2.09. Cancellation.

          The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Security
Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee and
no one else shall cancel and dispose of them in accordance with its customary procedures and upon
written request of the Company shall return to the Company all Notes surrendered for registration
of transfer, exchange, payment, purchase, conversion or cancellation. All Notes so delivered to
the Trustee shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. The Company may not issue new Notes to
replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

          At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for
definitive Notes, transferred, paid, repurchased, redeemed, converted or canceled, such Global Note
shall be returned by the Depositary or the Custodian to the Trustee for cancellation or retained
and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in
a Global Note is exchanged for definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another
Global Note, paid, repurchased, redeemed, converted or canceled, the principal amount of Notes
represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the Global Note
and on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Custodian for such Global Note) with
respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

               Section 2.10. Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest.

          Subject to Section 4.01, interest on any Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or
one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for
such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 2.04.

          Subject to Section 4.01, any interest on any Note that is payable, but is not punctually paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered Holder thereof on the relevant Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and
such defaulted interest and, if applicable, interest on such defaulted interest (to the extent
lawful) at the rate or formula specified in the Notes of such series (such defaulted
interest and, if applicable, interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”)
may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

          (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose
names the Notes (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 Note and the date of the proposed

15

 

payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), 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 on or 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 in this clause
provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment
of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to
the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the
notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special
Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice (which notice
shall be prepared by the Company) of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Notes at
his address as it appears in the Note Register not less than 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 mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in
whose names the Notes (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 (2).

          (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Notes may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the
Company, in writing, 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 2.10, each Note delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall
carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Note.

               Section 2.11. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating

          The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its President or a Vice President and
attested by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. The signature of any of these officers on the
Notes may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer
and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Notes. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the
Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not
hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

          A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually authenticates
the Note. The signature of the Trustee on a Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has
been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture.

          The Trustee will, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate Notes in an unlimited
aggregate principal amount, subject to the provisions of this Indenture. Each

16

 

Company Order will specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the Notes are to be
authenticated.

          The Trustee may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the
Company to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such
Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this
Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent.

          In case the Company pursuant to Article IX shall be consolidated or merged with or into any
other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such
consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or the
Person that shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid,
shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article VIII, any
of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer,
lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be
exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in
phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes
surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Company Order of
the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such order for the
purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new
name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 2.11 in exchange or substitution for or upon
registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but
without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time Outstanding for
Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

               Section 2.12. No Sinking Fund No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

               Section 2.13. Ranking The Notes constitute a senior general unsecured obligation of
the Company, ranking equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior
unsecured indebtedness of the Company and ranking senior in right of payment to any future
indebtedness of the Company that is expressly made subordinate to the Notes by the terms of such
indebtedness.

               Section 2.14. CUSIP Numbers

          The Company in issuing the Notes and Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes may use CUSIP
numbers (if then generally in use). The Trustee shall not be responsible for the use of CUSIP
numbers, and the Trustee makes no representation as to their correctness as printed on any Note,
certificate of Common Stock or notice to Holders and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION

               Section 3.01. No Right to Redeem

     
The Notes shall not be redeemable before their
Stated Maturity at the option of the Company.

ARTICLE IV

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

               Section 4.01. Payment of Notes.

          (a) The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes that it will
duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of
such Notes and this Indenture. Interest on any Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 2.04. Global Notes will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment
Date will be paid to the Depositary, with respect to that portion of such Global Notes held for its
account by the Depositary for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest, if any,
received by it in respect of such Global Notes to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof;
provided, however, that, with respect to any Noteholder with an aggregate principal amount in
excess of $2,000,000, at the application of such Holder in writing to the Security Registrar not
later than the relevant Record Date, accrued and unpaid interest on such Holder’s Notes shall be
paid on the corresponding Interest Payment Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to
such Holder’s account in the United States supplied by such Holder from time to time to the Trustee
and Paying Agent (if different from Trustee); provided further that payment of accrued and unpaid
interest made to the Depositary shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds in
accordance with such wire transfer instructions and other procedures provided by the Depositary
from time to time.

          (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.01, a Holder of any Notes at Close of
Business, on a Record Date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Notes on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date. A Holder of any Notes as of a Record Date that are
converted after Close of Business on such Record Date and prior to the Opening of Business on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal amount of such Notes, notwithstanding the conversion of such Notes prior to such Interest
Payment Date.

          (c) On the Maturity Date, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest to the Person to
whom the Company pays the principal amount of the Notes.

18

 

               Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency

          The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, an office or agency
(which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, Security Registrar or
co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or conversion
and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may
be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any
such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee.

          The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any
manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, New York City, for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other
office or agency.

          The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or
agency of the Company.

               Section 4.03. Compliance Certificate

          The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Company an Officers’ Certificate, one of the signatories of which shall be the chief executive
officer, chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of the Company, stating that in the
course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an officer of the Company, he or
she would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not such signer knows of any
Default that occurred during such period. If such signer does have knowledge of a Default, the
certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto.

          The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within five
days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of
Default and the action that the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

               Section 4.04. Reservation of Common Stock

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

19

 

               Section 4.05. Issuance of Shares

          All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Notes shall be newly issued shares
or shares held in treasury by the Company, shall have been duly authorized and validly issued and
shall be fully paid and nonassessable, and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any
Lien or adverse claim.

               Section 4.06. Transfer Taxes

          If a Holder converts Notes for shares of Common Stock, the Company will pay any and all
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon
the conversion. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or duty that 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 Note or Notes 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 4.07. Reports by Company; 144A Information

          (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 15 days after filing with the Commission,
copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such
portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) that it
is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. All
required reports, information and documents referred to in this Section 4.07(a) shall be deemed to
be delivered to the Trustee at the time such reports, information and documents are publicly filed
with the Commission via the Commission’s EDGAR and/or IDEA filing system (or any successor system).

          (b) The Company covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period in which it is not
subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act, make available to any Holder or beneficial
holder of Notes or any holder of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof which continue to be
Restricted Securities and any prospective purchaser of Notes or such Common Stock designated by
such Holder or beneficial holder, the information, if any, required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Securities Act upon the request of any such Holder or beneficial holder of the Notes or
such Common Stock, until such time as such securities are no longer “restricted securities” within
the meaning of Rule 144, assuming such Notes have not been owned or beneficially owned by an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of
the Company.

          (c) 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, including the
Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
conclusively rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 4.07, the Company, to the extent permitted under the

20

 

Trust Indenture Act, shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee or the Holders any material for which the Company
has sought and received confidential treatment by the Commission.

ARTICLE V

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

               Section 5.01. Events of Default

     Each of the following shall be Events of Default with
respect to the Notes:

     (a) failure by the Company to pay any interest (including Additional Interest and
Filing Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes when due and such failure continues for a
period of 30 calendar days;

     (b) failure by the Company to pay principal of the Notes when due at the Maturity Date,
or failure by the Company to pay the repurchase price payable, in respect of any Notes when
due;

     (c) failure by the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of any
Notes and such failure continues for five calendar days following the scheduled settlement
date for such conversion;

     (d) failure by the Company to issue a Fundamental Change Company Notice on a timely
basis in accordance with Section 11.01 when due;

     (e) a failure to pay principal when due (whether at stated maturity or otherwise) or an
uncured default that results in the acceleration of maturity, of any indebtedness for
borrowed money of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount
in excess of $20,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent), unless such indebtedness is
discharged, or such acceleration is rescinded, stayed or annulled, within a period of 30
calendar days after written notice of such failure or uncured default is given to the
Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding;

     (f) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company
in this Indenture with respect to any Note (other than a covenant or warranty a default in
whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically
dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after
there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to
the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and
requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

     (g) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any
Bankruptcy Law:

21

 

          (i) commences a voluntary case,

          (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

          (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all
of its property, or

          (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

     (h) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy
Law that:

          (i) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary
case,

          (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, or for all or
substantially all of either of its property, or

          (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, and the
order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.

     The Company shall be required to notify the Trustee promptly upon becoming aware of the
occurrence of any default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Indenture, the sole remedy for the failure by the Company to comply with
Section 4.07, and for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust
Indenture Act, if applicable (each, a “Filing Failure”), will, at the Company’s option, for the 365
days after the occurrence an Event of Default relating to such Filing Failure consist of the right
to receive additional interest on the Notes (“Filing Additional Interest”) at an annual rate equal
to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Notes. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the
Filing Additional Interest upon the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to a Filing Failure
or such Filing Failure continues for more than 365 days after the occurrence of the Event of
Default related thereto, the Notes will be subject to acceleration in accordance with Section 5.02.
The Filing Additional Interest will be in addition to, and will be payable in the same manner as,
any Additional Interest that may accrue on the Notes, and will accrue on all Outstanding Notes from
and including the date on which the Event of Default relating to Filing Failure first occurs to but
not including the 365th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Filing Failure shall have
been cured or waived). On such 365th day (or such earlier date on which the Filing Failure shall have been cured or waived), the Filing
Additional Interest shall cease to accrue.

               Section 5.02. Acceleration

          (a) In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 5.01 hereof
with respect to the Company, all Outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without
further action or notice by the Trustee or any Holder. Subject to Section 5.01, if any other Event
of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be

22

 

due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (e) of Section
5.01 occurs resulting in a declaration of acceleration of the Notes, such declaration of
acceleration shall be automatically annulled if such Event of Default triggering such declaration
of acceleration pursuant to clause (e) of Section 5.01 shall have been remedied or cured by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or waived by the holders of the relevant indebtedness within 60
days of the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (i) the annulment of the
acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal or interest on
the Notes that became due and payable solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been
cured or waived.

          (c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in
this Section 5.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences: (i) if the rescission would not
conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) if all existing
Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has
become due solely because of the acceleration; (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is
lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and (iv) if the Company has paid
the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements
and advances (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses). No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

               Section 5.03. Other Remedies.

          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy
to collect the payment of principal and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not
produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note
in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall
not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of
Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

               Section 5.04. [RESERVED]

               Section 5.05. Waiver of Past Defaults

     The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes Outstanding may, on
behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, consent to the waiver of any past default or Event of
Default under this Indenture and its consequences, except:

23

 

	 	(1)	 	failure by the Company to pay principal of or interest (including
Additional Interest or Filing Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes when due;
	 
	 	(2)	 	failure by the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the
conversion of any Notes;
	 
	 	(3)	 	failure by the Company to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date in connection with a Holder of Notes
exercising its repurchase rights in accordance with this Indenture; or
	 
	 	(4)	 	failure of the Company to comply with a covenant or provision of this
Indenture which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby.

     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 and the Notes;
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon.

               Section 5.06. Control by Majority

          Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising 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 this Indenture that the Trustee determines in good
faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the
Trustee in personal liability.

               Section 5.07. Limitation on Suits

          A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:

     (a) such Holder gives to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is
continuing;

     (b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes
make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy as Trustee;

     (c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

     (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the
request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

24

 

     (e) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then Outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such
request.

          A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a
Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.

          Section 5.08. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment or Effect
Conversion

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to
receive payment of principal and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates
expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert Notes in
accordance with Article X of this Indenture, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent
of such Holder.

               Section 5.09. Collection Suit by Trustee

          If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against the Company, and to enforce such judgment and collect the moneys adjudicated or decreed to
be payable, for the whole amount of principal of and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes,
interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall
be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

               Section 5.10. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

          The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents 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
counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company
(or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to
collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any
custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder 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, to pay to the Trustee
any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07. To the
extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 out of
the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be
secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money,
securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding
whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or

25

 

otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of
the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

               Section 5.11. Priorities.

          If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out the money in
the following order:

          First: to the Trustee (or any predecessor Trustee), its agents and attorneys for amounts due
under Section 6.07, including payment of all reasonable compensation, expenses and liabilities
incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

          Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and
interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and
payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and

          Third: to the Company or such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes
pursuant to this Section 5.11. If a record date is fixed, the Trustee shall send, by first class
mail, electronically or by any other means approved by the Trustee to the Holders of the Notes of
record a notice at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the payment date. Such notice
shall state: (1) that a payment is being made pursuant to this Section 5.11, (2) the relevant
Default and the circumstances giving rise to the collection of money pursuant to this Section 5.11,
(3) the payment date and (4) the amount of such payment per $1,000 of Notes.

               Section 5.12. Undertaking for Costs

          All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by his acceptance thereof
shall be deemed to have agreed, 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 or omitted by it as a Trustee, a
court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in
the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the
party litigant. This Section 5.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a
Note pursuant to Section 5.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal
amount of the then Outstanding Notes.

               Section 5.13. Restricted Securities; Additional Interest

          (a) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date which is
six months after the date hereof (the “Additional Interest Period”), the Company fails to timely
file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the

26

 

Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (taking into account the extension pursuant to Rule 12b-25
under the Exchange Act), other than current reports on Form 8-K (after giving effect to all
applicable grace periods thereunder), the Company shall pay additional interest (“Additional
Interest”) on the Notes, which will be in addition to any Filing Additional Interest that may
accrue on the Notes, and which shall accrue on the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum of the
principal amount of Notes Outstanding for each day during the Additional Interest Period for which
the Company’s failure to file, as described above, has occurred and is continuing.

          (b) Additional Interest payable in accordance with Section 5.13(a) shall be payable in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date for the Notes following accrual in the same manner as regular
interest on the Notes.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.13, no Additional
Interest shall accrue following the end of the Additional Interest Period even though any failure
to file as described in Section 5.13(a) has occurred or is continuing.

ARTICLE VI

TRUSTEE

               Section 6.01. Duties of Trustee.

          (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its
exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
Person’s own affairs; provided, to the extent permitted by the TIA, that if an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders
have provided the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against
loss, liability or expense.

          (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

          (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

          (ii) 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, directions, notices or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates, directions,
notices or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or
investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

27

 

          (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

          (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;

          (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and

          (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.06.

          (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.

          (e) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

          (f) 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 to believe that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.

          (g) 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 6.01 and to
the provisions of the TIA.

          (h) The Trustee shall 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 shall
have provided to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and
liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

               Section 6.02. Rights of Trustee

          (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from
acting upon any paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper Person or Persons. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
document.

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

28

 

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

          (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the
Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

          (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of such
counsel appointed with due care with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the
Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any
action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice
or opinion of such counsel.

          (f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond or other paper or document; but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such
further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee
shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Company at reasonable times, in a reasonable manner and upon
reasonable advance notice, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and
shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or
investigation.

          (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default
except, (i) during any period it is serving as Security Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes,
any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 5.01(a), 5.01(b) or 5.01(c) or (ii) any Default
or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer shall have received written notification or
obtained actual knowledge. The term “actual knowledge” shall mean the actual fact or statement of
knowing by a Responsible Officer without independent investigation with respect thereto.

          (h) Delivery of the 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,
including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

          (i) 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.

          (j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including 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.

29

 

          (k) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting
forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified
actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any Person
authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

               Section 6.03. Individual Rights of Trustee

          The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes
and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Security Registrar, co-registrar or
co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections
6.10 and 6.11. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the
Company; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as such term is
defined in Section 310(b) of the TIA) the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days
of acquiring such conflicting interest, (ii) apply to the Commission for permission to continue
acting as Trustee or (iii) resign as Trustee hereunder.

               Section 6.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer

          The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the
Notes or the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the
Company in this Indenture or in any document issued or offering circular (or similar document) used
in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication or for the use or application of any funds received by any Paying Agent other than
the Trustee.

               Section 6.05. Notice of Defaults

          If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Responsible Officer has
actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of
Default within 90 days of being notified by the Company pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Indenture
unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived.

          Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest on any
Note (including Additional Interest and Filing Additional Interest, if any, and payments pursuant
to the required repurchase provisions of such Note, if any), the Trustee may withhold the notice if
and so long as its board of directors, a committee of its board of directors or a committee of its
Responsible Officers and/or a Responsible Officer in good faith determines that withholding the
notice is in the interests of registered Holders.

               Section 6.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders

          As promptly as practicable after each March 1 beginning with the March 1 following the date of
this Indenture, and in any event prior to September 1 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each
Holder a brief report dated as of such March 1 that complies with TIA § 313(a), if and to the
extent such report may be required by the TIA. The Trustee also shall

30

 

comply with TIA § 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports required by TIA
§ 313(c).

          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the Commission
and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed. The Company agrees to notify
promptly the Trustee in writing whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of any
delisting thereof.

               Section 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity

          The Company covenants and agrees: (a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as shall be agreed
by the Company and the Trustee in writing (which 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 and each
predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, fees, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture
(including the reasonable compensation, fees, and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and
of all agents and other Persons not regularly in its employ), except any such reasonable expense,
disbursement or advance as shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence or willful
misconduct; and (c) to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, claim or expense, including taxes, if any (other
than taxes based upon, determined by or measured by the income of the Trustee), incurred without
negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance
or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including
enforcement of this Section 6.07. The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate
and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each
predecessor Trustee for expenses, fees, disbursements and advances shall constitute an additional
obligation hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the termination of this Indenture. To secure the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under this Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have a prior
Lien upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds and
property paid by the Company and held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section
5.01(h) or (i) occurs, such expenses and compensation for services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under Bankruptcy Law.

               Section 6.08. Replacement of Trustee

          The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in
writing and the Company may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

          (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10;

          (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

31

 

          (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

          (d) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes and the Company does not reasonably promptly appoint a successor
Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event
being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall upon payment of its charges hereunder promptly transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, upon payment of any fees and expenses due
and owing to it hereunder.

          If the Company has not appointed a successor Trustee within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Notes
may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10, any Holder may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08, the Company’s
obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

               Section 6.09. Successor Trustee by Merger

          If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the
resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor
Trustee.

          In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the
Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at
that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which
it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall
have.

32

 

               Section 6.10. Eligibility; Disqualification

          There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee
under Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(a)(1) and (2) and which shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000, and have a Corporate Trust Office in the Borough of Manhattan in
New York City, State of New York. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any federal, state, territorial or District of
Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

ARTICLE VII

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; UNCLAIMED MONEYS

               Section 7.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

          When (a) the Company delivers to the Trustee all Outstanding Notes (other than Notes which
have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section
2.08) for cancellation or (b) all Outstanding Notes have become due and payable and the Company
deposits with the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, as applicable, whether at the
Stated Maturity, or any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date, upon conversion or
otherwise, cash or shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property) and cash, as applicable under
this Indenture, sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all Outstanding Notes (other than
Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in
Section 2.08); and if, in any such case, the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other
sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect, and
the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the satisfaction and discharge
contemplated by this provision have been complied with, and at the cost and expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging such satisfaction and discharging this Indenture.
The Company agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and
properly incurred, and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and
properly rendered, by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Notes.

               Section 7.02. Application of Funds or Securities Deposited for Payment of
Notes

          All moneys or securities deposited with the Trustee, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as
applicable, shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (other than the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable),
to the Holders of the Notes for the payment of which such moneys or securities have been deposited,
of all sums due and to become due thereon, but such money need not be segregated from other funds
or securities except to the extent required by law.

33

 

               Section 7.03. Repayment by Trustee, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent

          In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes,
all moneys or securities then held by any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent under the provisions of
this Indenture with respect to the Notes shall, upon demand of the Company, be repaid to it and
thereupon such Paying Agent or Conversion Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such moneys or securities.

          Any moneys or securities deposited with or paid to the Trustee, Paying Agent or Conversion
Agent, as applicable, for the payment of any amount on the Notes and not applied but remaining
unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such amount shall have become due and payable,
shall, upon the written request of the Company and unless otherwise required by mandatory
provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Company
by the Trustee, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, and the Holder of the Notes shall,
unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed
property laws, thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such Holder may be
entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent with
respect to such moneys or securities shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee,
Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, before being required to make any such repayment with respect to
moneys or securities deposited with it for any payment in respect of the Notes, shall, at the
expense of the Company, mail by first-class mail to Holders of the Notes at their addresses as they
shall appear on the Note Register notice that such moneys or securities remain and that, after a
date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money or securities then remaining will be repaid to the
Company.

          (h) to make any provision with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Indenture that the Company may deem necessary or desirable and that shall not be inconsistent with

          (i) to provide for conversion rights of Holders of Notes and the Company’s repurchase

          (j) to conform the provisions of this Indenture to the “Description of Notes” section

          (k) to increase the Conversion Rate; provided that the increase will not adversely affect

               Section 8.02. Modification and Amendment with Consent of Noteholders.

          With the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company when

case may be);

          (b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, the consent of
whose Holders is required for any such amendment, waiver, modification or supplemental indenture,
or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver with respect to such Notes (or

consequences) provided for in this Indenture;

          (c) make any change that affects the right of any Holder to convert Notes into shares of
the Company’s Common Stock or reduce the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon

          (d) relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough

          Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a copy of a Board Resolution
authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture or other agreement, instrument or
waiver, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid,
the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture or other
agreement, instrument or waiver.

          It shall not be necessary for any act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular
form of any proposed supplemental indenture or other agreement, instrument or waiver, but it shall
be sufficient if such act shall approve the substance thereof.

               Section 8.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures, Agreements and Waivers

          In executing, any supplemental indenture, agreement, instrument or waiver permitted by this
Article VIII or the modifications thereby of this Indenture, the Trustee shall, upon request, be
provided with, and (subject to Section 6.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate from each obligor under the Notes entering into
such supplemental indenture, agreement, instrument or waiver, each stating that the execution of
such supplemental indenture, agreement, instrument or waiver (a) is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture; (b) does not violate the provisions of any agreement or instrument evidencing any other
Indebtedness of the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company; and (c) that all conditions
precedent in this Indenture relating to such supplemental indenture have been complied with. The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture, agreement,
instrument or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture, the Notes or otherwise. The Company will
notify Holders within a reasonable time of any amendment to this Agreement or of any
supplemental indenture entered into.

36

 

               Section 8.04. Effect of Supplemental Indentures

          Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article VIII, this Indenture, the
Notes, if applicable, shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture
shall form a part of this Indenture and the Notes, if applicable, as the case may be, for all
purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder
shall be bound thereby.

               Section 8.05. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act

          Every supplemental indenture or amendment to this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the
TIA as then in effect.

               Section 8.06. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures

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

               Section 8.07. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers

          A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note.
However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s
Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the
amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall
bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver made pursuant to Section 8.02 shall become effective
upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents.

          The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or
required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then
notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record
date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such
consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such
Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall become valid or
effective more than 120 days after such record date.

               Section 8.08. Notation on or Exchange of Notes

          If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to
deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the
changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so
determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee, at

37

 

the expense of the
Company, shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the
appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

ARTICLE IX

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, LEASE OR CONVEYANCE

               Section 9.01. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets.

          The Company will not, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, consolidate
with or merge with or into any other Person, or sell, convey, transfer or lease its property and
assets substantially as an entirety to another Person, unless:

	 	(1)	 	either (a) the Company shall be the continuing corporation or (b)
the resulting, surviving or transferee person (if other than the Company) shall be
a corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of
the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (the
“Successor Company”), and such Successor Company shall expressly assume, by an
indenture supplemental to this Indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company
under the Notes and this Indenture;
	 
	 	(2)	 	immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and
	 
	 	(3)	 	if so requested by the Trustee, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee any Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a supplemental
indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental
indenture, comply with this Article IX and that all conditions precedent herein
provided for relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

ARTICLE X

CONVERSION OF NOTES

               Section 10.01. Conversion Privilege

          (a) Upon compliance with the provisions of this Article X, a Holder of Notes shall have
the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted
is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note at any time
prior to the Close of Business on the scheduled Business Day immediately preceding the
Maturity Date at a rate (the “Conversion Rate”) of 88.0902 shares of Common Stock (subject to
adjustment by the Company as provided in Section 10.04) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes,
together with cash in lieu of fractional shares (collectively, the “Conversion Obligation”).

38

 

          (b) (1) If and only to the extent a Noteholder elects to convert Notes prior to the
Maturity Date in connection with a transaction described in clause (a), clause (c) (without
reference to subclause (ii) thereunder) or clause (d) of the definition of Fundamental Change
pursuant to which 10% or more of the consideration for the Common Stock (other than cash payments
for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights) in such
transaction consists of cash or securities (or other property) that are not shares of common stock
traded or scheduled to be traded immediately following such transaction on the New York Stock
Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Marker or the NASDAQ Global Select Market (or any of their respective
successors), referred to herein as a “Non-Stock Change of Control”, then the Conversion Rate
applicable to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes so converted shall be increased by an
additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as described in Section
10.01(b)(2) below. The Company shall notify Holders of the anticipated effective date of a
Fundamental Change meeting the conditions of this Section 10.01(b) no later than such time that the
Fundamental Change occurs. Settlement of Notes tendered for conversion to which Additional Shares
shall be added to the Conversion Rate as provided in this subsection shall be settled pursuant to
Section 10.02 below, as applicable. For purposes of this Section 10.01(b), a conversion of Notes
shall be deemed to be “in connection with” a Fundamental Change to the extent that the related
conversion notice is received by the Conversion Agent following the effective date of the
Fundamental Change but before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. Such conversion notice shall indicate that the Holder
of Notes has elected to convert Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change; provided, however,
that the failure to so indicate shall not in any way affect the Conversion Obligation or the right
of such Holder to receive Additional Shares in connection with such conversion.

     (2) The number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased shall
be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which
the Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), and the Stock Price;
provided, that if the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in the table attached as
Schedule A hereto or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table
attached as Schedule A hereto, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a
straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and
lower Stock Price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 360-day year; provided
further that if (x) the Stock Price is in excess of $20.00 per share of Common Stock (subject to
adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section 10.04), no Additional Shares will be added to
the Conversion Rate, and (y) the Stock Price is less than $10.32 per share of Common Stock (subject
to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section 10.04), no Additional Shares will be added
to the Conversion Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares
of common stock issuable upon conversion, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 10.01(b)(2) exceed
the Conversion Rate Cap.

          The number of Additional Shares within the table in Schedule A hereto shall be
adjusted in the same manner as and as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is
adjusted as set forth in Section 10.04 (other than by operation of an adjustment to the Conversion
Rate pursuant to this Section 10.01(b)). The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table
attached as Schedule A hereto (i.e., the column headers) shall be simultaneously adjusted
as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted (other than by operation of an

39

 

adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.01(b)). The adjusted Stock Prices
shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the
adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion
Rate as so adjusted.

               Section 10.02. Conversion Procedures

          (a) Each Note shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent and, if
applicable, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary.

          (b) In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any interest in a Global
Note, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the
Depositary’s book-entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents
if required by the Company or the Conversion Agent, pay the funds, if any, required by Section
4.01(b) and all taxes or duties, if any, for which the Holder is responsible pursuant to Section
4.06, and the Conversion Agent must be informed of the conversion in accordance with the customary
practice of the Depositary. In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any
certificated Notes, the Holder of any such Notes to be converted, in whole or in part, shall:

          (i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided on the back of the
Note and attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Conversion Notice”) or a facsimile of the
Conversion Notice;

          (ii) deliver the completed Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Note to
the Conversion Agent;

          (iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and

          (iv) if required, pay all taxes or duties pursuant to Section 4.06.

          The date on which the Holder satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth in this
Section 10.02(b) is the “Conversion Date.” The Conversion Agent will provide the Company with
notice of any conversion by a Holder of the Notes on the date of such conversion (which, for the
avoidance of doubt, shall be the next Business Day if the applicable requirements are satisfied
after the Close of Business on a Business Day and prior to the open of Business on the next
Business Day).

          (c) Each Conversion Notice shall state the name or names (with address or addresses) in
which any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be
issuable upon such conversion shall be issued. All such Notes surrendered for conversion
shall, unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion are to be issued in the same name
as the registration of such Notes, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or his duly authorized
attorney.

40

 

          (d) In case any Notes of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for
partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder of the Notes so surrendered, without charge, new Notes in authorized denominations in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Notes.

          Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion
thereof) surrendered for conversion immediately prior to the Close of Business on the relevant
Conversion Date. The person in whose name the certificate or certificates for the number of shares
of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon such conversion shall become the holder of record of
such shares of Common Stock as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing and anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, in no event shall a Holder
be entitled to the benefit of a Conversion Rate adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Article X
hereof in respect of Notes surrendered for conversion if, by virtue of being deemed the record
holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion pursuant to the foregoing
sentence, such Holder participates, as a result of being such holder of record, in the transaction
or event that would otherwise give rise to such Conversion Rate adjustment to the same extent and
in the same manner as holders of shares of Common Stock generally.

          (e) Upon the conversion of an interest in Global Notes, the Trustee (or other Conversion
Agent appointed by the Company) shall make a notation on such Global Notes as to the reduction in
the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
conversions of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice exercising such Holder’s option to require the Company to
purchase such Note may be converted only if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn
in accordance with Article X hereof prior to the Close of Business on the Fundamental Change
Purchase Date.

               Section 10.03. Payments Upon Conversion

          (a) Upon any conversion of any Notes, on the third Business Day immediately following the
Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes to be converted divided by $1,000,
multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect as of such Conversion Date, together with any cash
payment for any fractional share of Common Stock as described in this Section 10.03.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, upon the conversion of any
Notes, unless the Holder converts after a Record Date for an interest payment but prior to the
corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Holder will also receive a separate cash payment
representing accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Filing Additional
Interest, if any) to, but not including, the Conversion Date. Any such payment will be made on the
settlement date applicable to the relevant conversion of the Notes.

41

 

          (c) The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of
Notes. If multiple Notes shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the
number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted
hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the
conversion of any Notes, the Company shall make payment therefor in cash in lieu of fractional
shares of Common Stock based on the Last Reported Sale Price on the relevant Conversion Date.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, no Holder of Notes will be
entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon conversion to the extent (but only to the extent)
that such receipt would cause such converting Holder to become, directly or indirectly, a
“beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder) of more than 5.0% of the Common Stock outstanding at such time
(the “Limitation”). Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes
shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would
result in the converting Holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of the shares of
Common Stock outstanding at such time. If any delivery of shares of Common Stock owed to a Holder
upon conversion of Notes is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the Limitation, the
Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver
such shares as promptly as practicable after any such converting Holder gives notice to the Company
that such delivery would not result in it being the beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of the
shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time. The Limitation shall no longer apply following
the Effective Date of any Fundamental Change.

               Section 10.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate
The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

     (a) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on
shares of Common Stock, or effects a share split or share combination, then the Conversion
Rate shall be adjusted (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.04(f)) based on
the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	OS1	 	 
	 

	 	CR1
	 	=
	 	CR0
	 	×
	 	 

	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	OS0	 	 

          where

	 	CR1 	= 	  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Opening
of Business on the record date for such dividend or distribution or the
effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;

	 	CR0 	= 	  the Conversion Rate in effect at Close of Business on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or

42

 

	 	 	 	distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the
case may be;

	 	OS0 	= 	  the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at Close of
Business, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such
dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or
combination; and

	 	OS1 	 =  	the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding
immediately after, and solely as a result of, such dividend, distribution,
share split or combination, as the case may be.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the Opening of Business on the record
date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as
the case may be. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.04(a) is
declared but not so paid or made, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not subdivided or
combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of
the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or subdivide
or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that
would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination had not been
declared.

          (b) In case the Company shall issue to all or substantially all holders of its Common
Stock any rights or warrants (other than rights issued pursuant to a shareholders’ rights plan)
entitling them for a period of not more than 60 days from the issuance date for such distribution
to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration
date of such distribution, then the Conversion Rate shall be increased (subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 10.04(f)) based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	OS0 + X	 	 
	 

	 	CR1
	 	=
	 	CR0
	 	×	 	 

	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	OS0 + Y	 	 

where

	 	CR1  	= 	 the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Opening
of Business on the record date for such distribution;

	 	CR0  	= 	 the Conversion Rate in effect Close of Business on the Trading
Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution;

	 	OS0  	= 	 the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at Close of
Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such
distribution;

	 	X 	 =  	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
to such rights or warrants; and

43

 

	 	Y  	= 	 the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate
price payable to exercise such rights or warrants, divided by the average of
the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading
Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for
such distribution.

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued and
shall become effective immediately prior to the Opening of Business on the record date for such
distribution. If such rights or warrants are not issued or are not so exercised prior to their
expiration, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then
be in effect if such record date for such distribution had not been fixed.

          In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the
Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of such distribution,
and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Stock, there shall be taken into
account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount
payable on exercise or conversion thereof, where the value of such consideration, if other than
cash, shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

          (c)

          (i) In case the Company shall distribute shares of Capital Stock, evidences of
indebtedness or other assets or property to all or substantially all holders of its Common
Stock (excluding dividends and distributions covered by Section 10.04(a), Section 10.04(b),
Section 10.04(d), and distributions described below in Section 10.04(c)(ii) with respect to
Spin-Offs (as defined below)) (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of
indebtedness or other asset or property hereinafter in this Section 10.04(c) called the
“Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be increased
(subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.04(f)) based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	SP0	 	 
	 

	 	CR1
	 	=
	 	CR0
	 	×
	 	 

	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	SP0 - FMV	 	 

where

	 	CR1 	 = 	 the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Opening of
Business on the record date for such distribution;

	 	CR0 	 = 	 the Conversion Rate in effect at Close of Business on the Trading
Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution;

	 	SP0  	= 	 the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common
Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading

44

 

	 	 	 	Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution; and
	 
	 	FMV  	= 	 the fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors or a committee thereof) of the Distributed Property distributed with
respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the Opening of Business
on the record date for such distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the Opening of Business on the record
date for shareholders entitled to receive such distribution; provided that (1) if the then fair
market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Property so distributed
applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than SP0 as set forth
above or (2) if SP0 exceeds the fair market value of the Distributed Property by less
than $0.01, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each
Noteholder shall have the right to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes upon
conversion, the amount of Distributed Property such Holder would have received had such Holder
converted such Notes immediately prior to the record date for determining the shareholders of the
Company entitled to receive the Distributed Property. If such dividend or distribution is not so
paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then
be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If such dividend or
distribution consists of rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the extent
that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration. If the Board of
Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section
10.04(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in
doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in determining SP0
above.

          (ii) With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.04(c) where there
has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in shares of
Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a
Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company that are listed on a national or regional
securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Rate will be increased (subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 10.04(f)) based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	FMV + MP0	 	 
	 

	 	CR1
	 	=
	 	CR0
	 	×
	 	 

	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	MP0	 	 

where

	 	CR1  	= 	 the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Opening
of Business on the record date for the Spin-Off;

	 	CR0  	= 	 the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business, on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for the Spin-Off;

45

 

	 	FMV  	= 	 the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital
Stock or other similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock
applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading
Day period immediately following, and including, the third Trading Day after
the record date for such Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and
	 
	 	MP0  	= 	 the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock
over the Valuation Period.

Such adjustment shall occur immediately after the Opening of Business on the day after the last day
of the Valuation Period but will be given effect as of the Opening of Business on the record date
for the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the ten Trading Days following
any Spin-Off, references within this Section 10.04(c) to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced
with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between such Spin-Off and the Conversion
Date in determining the applicable Conversion Rate. Because the Company will make the adjustment
to the Conversion Rate at the end of the Valuation Period with retroactive effect, the Company will
delay the settlement of any Notes where the Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period. In
such event, the Company will deliver shares of Common Stock and any cash in lieu thereof (based on
the adjusted Conversion Rate) on the third Business Day following the last day of the Valuation
Period.

          Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock, entitling the
holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase Capital Stock (either initially or under certain
circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events
(“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Common Stock; (ii) are not
exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be
deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 10.04(c) (and no adjustment to the
Conversion Rate under this Section 10.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest
Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an
appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section
10.04(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed
prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such
rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness
or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be
the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights
(and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the
holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights
or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence)
with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of
calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this
Section 10.04 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been
redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be
readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger
Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption
or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or
warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all

46

 

holders of Common
Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or
warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

          For purposes of this Section 10.04(c) and Section 10.04(a) and Section 10.04(b), any dividend
or distribution to which this Section 10.04(c) is applicable that also includes a dividend or
distribution of Common Stock to which Section 10.04(a) applies or a dividend or distribution of
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock to which Section 10.04(a) or Section
10.04(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the
evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of Capital Stock other than such Common Stock or rights
or warrants to which this Section 10.04(c) applies, and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by
this Section 10.04(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made, immediately
followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any
further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 10.04(a) and Section 10.04(b) with respect
to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the record date of such dividend
or distribution shall be substituted as “the record date” and “the date fixed for such
determination” within the meaning of Section 10.04(a) and Section 1004(b) and (B) any Common Stock
included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed outstanding “at Close of Business on
the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or distribution or the
effective date of such share split or combination” within the meaning of Section 10.04(a) or “at
Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record for such distribution” within
the meaning of Section 10.04(b).

          (d) In case the Company shall pay any cash dividends or distributions paid exclusively in
cash to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (other than dividends or distributions
made in connection with the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or distributions
to which Section 10.06 applies), then the Conversion Rate will be increased (subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 10.04(f)) based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	SP0 - DTA 	 	 
	 

	 	CR1
	 	=
	 	CR0
	 	×
	 	 

	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	SP0 - C	 	 

where

	 	CR1  	= 	 the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Opening
of Business on the record date for such dividend or distribution;

	 	CR0  	= 	 the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business, on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution;

	 	SP0  	= 	 the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common
Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the record date for such distribution;

47

 

	 	DTA 	 =  	the dividend threshold amount, which will initially be equal
to $0.101125 per share in any month; provided that if there is not a record
date for a dividend in any month, the DTA may be carried forward by the Company
to the next subsequent month, and to the extent the aggregate amount of any
dividends with record dates in such subsequent month is less than $0.20225 such
difference may be carried forward to the second subsequent month for aggregate
dividends of up to $0.303375; for the avoidance of doubt, there shall not be
any further carry forward of the aggregate dividends with record dates in any
three consecutive months are $0.303375 or more; and
	 
	 	C 	 =  	the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to
holders of Common Stock in any dividend.

          Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the Opening of Business on the
record date for such dividend or distribution.

          The dividend threshold amount is subject to adjustment on an inversely proportional basis
whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted other than pursuant to this Section 10.04(d). If an
adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 10.04(d) as a result of a
distribution that is not a regular monthly or quarterly dividend, the dividend threshold amount
will be deemed to be zero.

          If “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), or
if the difference between “SP0” and “C” is less than $0.01, in lieu of the foregoing
increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof,
at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash
that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date for such cash dividend or distribution.

          For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 10.04(d), in the event of any
reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Notes become convertible into more
than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to
this Section 10.04(d), references in this Section to one share of Common Stock or Last Reported
Sale Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price of a
unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Stock into which the Notes are then
convertible equal to the number of shares of such class issued in respect of
one share of Common Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications.

          (e) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender
offer or exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other
consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale
Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or
exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, then the

48

 

Conversion Rate shall be
increased (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.04(f)) based on the following
formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	AC + ( SP1 × OS1 )	 	 
	 

	 	CR1
	 	=
	 	CR0
	 	×
	 	 

	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	OS0 × SP1	 	 

	 	where

	 	CR1  	= 	 the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business, on the
day such tender offer or exchange offer expires;

	 	CR0  	= 	 the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Opening
of Business on the Trading Day immediately following the day such tender offer
or exchange offer expires;

	 	AC  	= 	 the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration
(as determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof) paid or
payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

	 	SP1  	= 	 the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock
over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the
Trading Day next succeeding the day such tender or exchange offer expires (the
“Averaging Period”);

	 	OS1  	=  	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after the Close of Business on the day such tender or exchange offer expires
(after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and

	 	OS0  	= 	 the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect
to such tender offer or exchange offer).

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the Opening of Business on the day
following the last day of the Averaging Period, but will be given effect as of the Opening of
Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires.
Because the Company will make the adjustment to the Conversion Rate at the end of the Averaging
Period with retroactive effect, the Company will delay the settlement of any Notes where the
Conversion Date occurs during the Averaging Period. In such event, the Company
will deliver shares of Common Stock and any cash in lieu thereof (based on the adjusted Conversion
Rate) on the third Business Day immediately following the last day of the Averaging Period.

          (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X, in no event will the total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion exceed 96.8992 per $1,000 principal
amount of the Notes (the “Conversion Rate Cap”), except that, to the extent the Company receives
written guidance or a no-action letter from the staff of the Commission

49

 

permitting the Company to adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to each of Section
10.04(a), Section 10.04(b) and Section 10.04(c)(ii) without regard to the Conversion Rate Cap and
to make the Notes convertible into the Reference Property in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.06 (the “Guidance”), the Company will make adjustments pursuant to Sections 10.04(a),
10.04(b), 10.04(c)(ii) and 10.06, as applicable, without regard to the Conversion Rate Cap and will
also, to the extent that the Company makes any such adjustment without regard to the Conversion
Rate Cap pursuant to the Guidance, adjust the Conversion Rate Cap accordingly. The Company will
use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Guidance for each of the events specified
under Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b), 10.04(c)(ii) and 10.06 as promptly as practicable following the
date hereof and shall provide written notice to the Holders when the Company receives such
Guidance. Prior to obtaining the Guidance, the Company will not engage in any transaction
described in any of Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b) and 10.04(c)(ii) that would result in an adjustment
to the Conversion Rate increasing the Conversion Rate beyond what it would have been in the absence
of such transaction unless the Company shall have engaged in a reverse stock split or share
combination transaction such that, in the Company’s reasonable best estimation, the Conversion Rate
following the adjustment for such transaction will not be any closer to the Conversion Rate Cap
than it would have been in the absence of such transaction.

          (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.04, no adjustments to the
Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.04 will be made:

          (i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future
plan or similar arrangement providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable
on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of
Common Stock under any such plan or arrangement;

          (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase
such shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan
or program or similar arrangement of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

          (iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant,
right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of
this Section 10.04(g) and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

          (iv) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

          (v) for accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Filing
Additional Interest, if any).

          (h) To the extent a transaction qualifies under two or more of Section 10.04(a), Section
10.04(b), Section 10.04(c) Section 10.04(d) and Section 10.04(e), the Conversion Rate shall be
adjusted pursuant to Section 10.04(c)(i).

          (i) For purposes of this Section 10.04 the term “record date” shall mean, with respect to any
dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of

50

 

shares of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in
which the shares of Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into
any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of
shareholders of the Company entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether
such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

          (j) All calculations and other determinations under this Article X shall be made by the
Company in accordance with Section 12.15 hereof and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the
nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment shall be made
for the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock, or the right to purchase Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities,
other than as provided in this Section 10.04. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate
unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate then in effect
at such time. The Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the
Conversion Rate, take such carried-forward adjustments into account in any subsequent adjustment,
and make such carried forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less
than 1%, (i) annually on the anniversary of the first date of issue of the Notes and otherwise,
(ii) upon any conversion of the Notes, and (iii) (1) 10 Business Days prior to the Maturity Date of
the Notes (whether at Stated Maturity or otherwise) or (2) 10 Business Days prior to any
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, unless such adjustment has already been made.

          (k) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly
file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment. The Trustee and Conversion Agent may conclusively rely on the
accuracy of the Conversion Rate adjustment provided by the Company. Unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry
that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after
delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the
Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment
becomes effective and provide notice to Holders of such adjustment.

          (l) For purposes of this Section 10.04, 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.

          (m) The Company will not take any action that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion
rate pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.04 without complying with NASDAQ Listing Rule
5635, if applicable.

               Section 10.05. Shares to be Fully Paid
Subject to Section 10.03(c), the Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights,
sufficient Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are
presented for conversion.

51

 

               Section 10.06. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale

          (a) If the Company:

          (i) reclassifies or changes its Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a
subdivision or combination); or

          (ii) consolidates or merges with or into any person or sells, leases, transfers,
conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets and those of its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person;

and in either case holders of Common Stock receive stock, other securities or other property or
assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for their Common
Stock (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then from and after the effective date of such Merger
Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with
the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force
at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then
required to so comply) providing that at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, each
Outstanding Note will, without the consent of Holders of the Notes, become convertible in
accordance with this Indenture into the consideration the holders of Common Stock received in such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition (such consideration, the “Reference Property”). If the transaction causes the Common
Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration
(determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), the Reference Property into which
the Notes will become convertible will be deemed to be the kind and amount of consideration elected
to be received by a majority of shares of Common Stock which voted for such an election (if
electing between two types of consideration) or a plurality of shares of Common Stock which voted
for such an election (if electing between more than two types of consideration), as the case may
be. Prior to obtaining the Guidance permitting the foregoing change to the terms of the Notes
without regard to the value of the Reference Property, the Company will not become a party to any
such Merger Event that would result in the value of the Reference Property immediately after giving
effect to such transaction obtainable upon conversion at such time of a single Note being less than
the value of the Reference Property immediately after giving effect to such transaction that would
be obtained as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon conversion of a
single Note immediately prior to such transaction times (y) a fraction the numerator of which is
$10.32, and the denominator of which is the Stock Price. In addition, prior to obtaining the
Guidance, the Company will not become a party to any such Merger Event that would result in an
adjustment to the Conversion Rate increasing the Conversion Rate beyond what it would have been in
the absence of such transaction unless the Company shall have engaged in a reverse stock split or
share combination transaction such that, in the Company’s reasonable best estimation, the
Conversion Rate following the adjustment for such transaction will not be any closer to the
Conversion Rate Cap than it would have been in the absence of such transaction. The Company shall
not become a party to any such Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 10.06
in all material respects.

52

 

          (b) The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be
mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the Note Register, within 20
days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or
validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this Section 10.06 shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations,
sales and conveyances. If this Section 10.06 applies to any Merger Event, Section 10.04 shall not
apply.

               Section 10.07. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions

          In case:

          (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that
would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.04; or

          (b) the Company shall authorize the granting to all of the holders of its Common Stock of
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or
warrants;

          (c) of any reclassification of Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the
outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no
par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for
which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer 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,

the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each Noteholder at his
address appearing on the Note Register at least 10 days before the applicable date specified in
clause (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to
be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights 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 or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is
expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of
Common Stock of record shall be entitled to convert their Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall
not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

               Section 10.08. Shareholder Rights Plans To the extent that any future shareholders’
rights plan adopted by the Company is in effect upon conversion of the Notes into Common Stock,
Holders shall receive, in addition to any Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights
under the applicable rights agreement unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the
time of conversion of the Notes, in which case, the

53

 

Conversion Rate will be adjusted (subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 10.04(f)) as if the Company distributed to all holders of its
Common Stock shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets as described in
Section 10.04(c)(i), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or
redemption of such rights. If, and only if, the Holders receive rights under such shareholders’
rights plan as described in the preceding sentence upon conversion of their Notes, then no other
adjustment pursuant to this Article X shall be made in connection with such shareholders’ rights
plan.

ARTICLE XI

REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

          Section 11.01. Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change

          (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, then each
Noteholder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all
of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, for
cash on or after the Close of Business on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”)
specified by the Company that is not less than twenty (20) calendar days and not more than
thirty-five (35) calendar days after the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (as defined
below) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon (including Additional Interest and Filing Additional Interest, if any)
to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date plus, if the Fundamental Change
constitutes a Non-Stock Change of Control and without duplication of the foregoing amounts, an
amount in cash, referred to as the “Cash Acquisition Interest Make-Whole Amount”, equal to the
present value of all remaining interest payments on such Notes through and including the Maturity
Date (collectively, the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”). The present value of the remaining
interest payments will be computed using a discount rate equal to 6.25%. In lieu of paying the
Cash Acquisition Interest Make-Whole Amount in cash, to the extent permitted by applicable
Commission interpretations and guidance as determined by the Company, the Company may deliver a
number of shares equal to the Cash Acquisition Interest Make-Whole Amount divided by the Stock
Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is after a Record
Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest
(including Additional Interest and Filing Additional Interest, if any) will be paid on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date to the Holder of record on the Record Date.

          Repurchases of Notes under this Section 11.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder
thereof, upon:

          (i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a
Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form
set forth on the reverse of the Note at any time prior the Close of Business on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

54

 

          (ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent
appointed by the Company) at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in the Borough of Manhattan, such
delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid
pursuant to this Section 11.01 only if the Note so delivered to the Trustee (or other Paying
Agent appointed by the Company) shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in
the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state:

          (A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of Notes to be delivered for
repurchase;

          (B) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must
be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof;

          (C) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture; and

          (D) if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is delivered prior to the
occurrence of a Fundamental Change pursuant to a definitive agreement giving rise to
a Fundamental Change, that the Holder acknowledges that the Company’s offer is
conditioned on the occurrence of such Fundamental Change.

provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

          Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.01
shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly
following the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of the book-entry
transfer or delivery of the Note.

          The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company
of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal
thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.01(c).

          Any Note 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 Note without service charge, a
new Note or Notes, 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 Note so surrendered.

55

 

          (b) On or before the fifth (5th) calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental
Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of record of the Notes as of the date of the
Fundamental Change Company Notice at their addresses shown in the Note Register (and to beneficial
owners to the extent required by applicable law) and the Trustee and Paying Agent a written notice
(the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the
repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. Such mailing shall be
by first class mail. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the
Company shall publish a notice containing the information included therein once in a newspaper of
general circulation in The City of New York or publish such information on the Company’s website or
through such other public medium as the Company may use at such time.

          Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

          (i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

          (ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;

          (iii) that the Holder must exercise the repurchase right prior to the Close of Business
on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

          (iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

          (v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

          (vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

          (vii) the applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the applicable Conversion
Rate;

          (viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has
been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

          (ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their
Notes.

          No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the
Noteholders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the
Notes pursuant to this Section 11.01.

56

 

          (c) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by delivering a written notice of
withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Company Notice at any time
prior to the Close of Business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:

          (i) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal
is being submitted;

          (ii) the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the original
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000; and

          (iii) if certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn
Notes;

provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the notice must comply with
Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective
Holders thereof any certificated Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
has been withdrawn in compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.01(c). If the Notes are not
in certificated form, such return must comply with the appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
If a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is given and then subsequently withdrawn in accordance
with this Section 11.01(c), then the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase any Notes listed
in such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

          (d) On or prior to 1:00 p.m. (local time in The City of New York) on the Business Day
following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee (or
other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
set aside, segregate and hold in trust in accordance with this Indenture an amount of money or
securities sufficient to repurchase as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all of the Notes
to be repurchased as of such date at the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt
of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for
Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) prior to the Close of Business on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date will be made promptly after the later of (x) the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions
to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in this Section 11.01), and (y) the time
of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed
by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by this Section 11.01 by mailing
checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in
the Note Register (in the case of certificated Notes) by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee (if the Notes are not in certificated form).
The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment return to the Company any funds in excess of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

          (e) If the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money or securities
sufficient to repurchase as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all the Notes or portions
thereof that are to be purchased as of the Business Day following the

57

 

Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date, then on and after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (i) such Notes will cease to be
Outstanding, (ii) interest (including Additional Interest and Filing Additional Interest, if any)
will cease to accrue on such Notes, whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made
or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and (iii) all
other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate other than the right to receive the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon delivery or transfer of such Notes.

          Section 11.02. No Payment Following Acceleration of the Notes

     There shall be no purchase of any Notes pursuant to this Article IX if the principal amount of
the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or prior to the
Fundamental Change Purchase Date. The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) will
promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any certificated Notes held by it following
acceleration of the Notes and shall deem canceled any instructions for book-entry transfer of the
Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in which case, upon such return and
cancellation, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have
been withdrawn.

          Section 11.03. Compliance with Tender Offer Rules

     In connection with any offer to purchase Notes under Section 11.01 hereof, the Company shall,
in each case if required, (a) comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules
under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable, (b) file a Schedule TO or any other required
schedule under the Exchange Act and (c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws
so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 11.01 to be exercised in the time and in
the manner specified in Section 11.01.

          This Note shall bear interest at the rate of 6.25% per year from December 21, 2010, or from
the most recent date to which interest had been paid or provided. Interest on this Note shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Except as otherwise
provided in the Indenture, interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15 and
December 15, commencing June 15, 2011, to Holders of record at the Close of Business on the

(including Additional Interest and Filing Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes that are not

the option of the Company, payment of interest, may be made by (i) check mailed to the address of
the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register or (ii) wire transfer

however, that, with respect to any Holder of Notes with an aggregate principal amount in excess of
$2,000,000, at the application of such Holder in writing to the Company, interest on such Holder’s
Notes shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such Holder’s account in the

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

Prospect Capital Corporation

6.25% Senior Convertible Notes due 2015

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 6.25%
Senior Convertible Notes due 2015 (herein called the “Notes”), issued under and pursuant to an
Indenture dated as of December 21, 2010 (herein called the “Indenture”) between the Company and
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company
and the Holders of the Notes. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

          In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be
continuing, the principal of and interest on all Notes may be declared, and upon said declaration
shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions
provided in the Indenture.

          Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and
deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the principal amount on the
Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect
such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United
States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

          The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in other circumstances, with
the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time
Outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of
any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes;
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall make any of the changes set forth in
Section 8.02 of the Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Note affected
thereby. It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the
maturity of the Notes, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time
Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past default or Event of
Default under the Indenture and its consequences except as provided in the Indenture. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any
securities which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not
any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other securities.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and

Exh. A-5 

 

unconditional, to pay the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note at the
place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.

          The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal
amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the
face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without
payment of any service charge but with 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 Notes (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture), Notes may be exchanged for a like
aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations.

          The Notes are not subject to redemption and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking
fund.

          Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s
option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in
principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes such holder elects to require the Company to repurchase, together with accrued
and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Filing Additional Interest, if any) to but
excluding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, plus, if the Fundamental Change constitutes a
Non-Stock Change of Control and without duplication of the foregoing amounts, a Cash Acquisition
Interest Make-Whole Amount, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture. The Company shall mail
to all Holders of record of the Notes a notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and of the
repurchase right arising as a result thereof at any time following the Company entering into a
definitive agreement that, if consummated, would give rise to a Fundamental Change, but in any
event not later than the fifth (5th) calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change.

          Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder may surrender
for conversion all or any portion of this Note that is in an integral multiple of $1,000. Upon
conversion, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the consideration specified in the Indenture.
No fractional share of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of a Note. Instead, the
Company shall pay cash in lieu of such fractional share of Common Stock as provided in the
Indenture. The initial Conversion Rate shall be 88.0902 shares of Common Stock per $1,000
principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture. If a Holder converts all or a part of this Note in connection with the occurrence of
certain Fundamental Change transactions, the Conversion Rate shall be increased in the manner and
to the extent described in the Indenture.

          Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, a new Note or Notes of authorized
denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange
thereof, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax,
assessments or other governmental charge imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes (except as otherwise set forth in the Indenture).

Exh. A-6 

 

          The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and
any Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of
this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership
or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, for
the conversion hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any
other authenticating agent nor any Paying Agent nor any other Conversion Agent nor any Security
Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments made to or upon the order
of such registered Holder shall, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, satisfy and discharge
liability for monies payable on this Note.

          Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM
(=tenants in common), TENANT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with right of
survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform gift to Minors
Act).
