To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Note for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s request. Any exchange or registration of transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto; provided that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.10, 2.12(a), 3.06, 4.02 (last paragraph), 6.09(a)(10), or 11.05.

Neither the Company, any Registrar nor the Trustee shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Notes for a period of 15 days next preceding any mailing of a notice of Notes to be redeemed, (b) any Notes or portions thereof selected or called for redemption (except, in the case of redemption of a Note in part, the portion not to be redeemed) or (c) any Notes or portions thereof in respect of which a Note has been delivered to the Trustee and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof (except, in the case of the purchase of a Note in part, the portion not to be purchased).

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

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

Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of a beneficial interest in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (i) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), (ii) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note or (iii) DTC or any Participant, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on registration of transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Participants or other beneficial owners of interests in any Global 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 Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee (the receipt of written notice in the case of 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 exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

Upon the issuance of any new Notes under this Section 2.07, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

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

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

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 6.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a Redemption Date, a Change in Control Payment Date, or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09. Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any Notice, direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such Notice, direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11. Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption, payment or conversion. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption, payment, conversion, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such Notes as it may determine, in accordance with its normal procedures. Any Notes which are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the maturity date may, at the option of the Company, be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes, if destroyed, shall be delivered to the Company by the Trustee. The Company may not reissue, reoffer or resell new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article 4.

Section 2.12. Additional Transfer and Exchange Requirements.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes. Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued by the Trustee in whose names such Notes are registered as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.12 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.12(a); however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.12(b).

(b) Transfer And Exchange Of Definitive Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes in accordance with Section 2.12(a) of this Indenture, on or after such event when a Definitive Note is presented by a Holder to a Registrar with a request:

(x) to register the transfer of such Definitive Note to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note only; or

(y) to exchange such Definitive Note for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations,

such Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that such Definitive Note presented or surrendered for register of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in accordance with the proviso to the first sentence of the first paragraph of Section 2.06(a).

(c) Transfers of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interest in Global Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes and, thereafter, the events or conditions specified in Section 2.12(a) which required such exchange shall cease to exist, the Company shall mail notice to the Trustee and to the Holders stating that Holders may exchange Definitive Notes for interests in Global Notes by complying with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and briefly describing such procedures and the events or circumstances requiring that such notice be given. Thereafter, if Definitive Notes are presented by a Holder to a Registrar with a request:

(x) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note; or

(y) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of beneficial interests in a Global Note, which beneficial interests will be owned by the Holder transferring such Definitive Notes,

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested by canceling such Definitive Note and causing, or directing the Custodian to cause, the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be increased accordingly and, if no such Global Note is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver a new Global Note; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in accordance with the proviso to the first sentence of the first paragraph of Section 2.06(a).

(d) Legends. Each Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. THIS NOTE IS A GLOBAL NOTE WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS NOTE IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE AND, UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.

(e) Transfers to the Company. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes shall prohibit the sale or other transfer of any Notes (including beneficial interests in Global Notes) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, subject to Section 2.11 hereof.

Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers.

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

ARTICLE 3.
REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee.

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 45 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed by lot, or in the Trustee’s discretion, on a pro rata basis. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. If a portion of Notes is selected for partial redemption and a Holder elects to convert a portion of Notes pursuant to Article 4 hereof, the converted portion of the Notes will be deemed to be the portion selected for redemption. Notes which have been converted during a selection of Notes to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in minimum denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; except that if all the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, by electronic transmission, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(a) the redemption date;

(b) the redemption price;

(d) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

(f) that Notes called for redemption must be presented and surrendered to a Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(g) that Holders who wish to convert Notes must surrender such Notes for conversion no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date and must satisfy the other requirements in paragraph 8 of the Notes;

(h) that, unless the Company Defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(i) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;

(j) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and a form of the notice to be delivered to Holders setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent immediately available funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest payment record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the same

Person to whom the Company pays the principal amount of such Note. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 6.01 hereof.

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue, and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company, a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07. Optional Redemption.

(a) The Company shall not have the option to redeem the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.07 prior to July 15, 2011. Thereafter the Company shall have the option to redeem the Notes in whole, or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail to Holders of the Notes, at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes together with accrued interest, if any, up to, but not including, the redemption date; provided that if the redemption date falls after an interest payment record date and on or before an Interest Payment Date, the applicable interest payment shall be payable to the same Person to whom the Company pays the principal amount of such Note upon redemption.

(b) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 3.08. Mandatory Redemption; No Sinking Fund.

The Company shall not be required to (a) make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes or (b) set aside any funds for the redemption of the Notes.

ARTICLE 4.
CONVERSION

Section 4.01. Conversion Privilege.

A Holder of a Note may convert such Note into fully paid and nonassessable Shares of Common Stock at any time prior to the close of business on the last Business Day prior to maturity at the Conversion Price (as defined below) then in effect, except that, with respect to any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.07 or submitted or presented for purchase pursuant to Section 6.09, such conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date or Change in Control Payment Date, as the case may be (unless the Company shall Default in making the redemption payment or Change in Control Payment, as the case may be, when it becomes due, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such Default is cured and such Note is redeemed or purchased, as the case may be). The number of Shares of Common

Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note will be determined by the Company by dividing the principal amount of such Note by the conversion price in effect on the Conversion Date (the “Conversion Price”). The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate the Conversion Price nor shall it have any obligation to verify or certify the Company’s calculation of the Conversion Price and shall have no liability relating thereto.

The initial Conversion Price is $[3.30] per share and is subject to adjustment as provided for in this Article 4.

A Holder may convert a portion of a Note equal to any integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Note also apply to conversion of a portion of it.

A Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Change in Control Payment Notice pursuant to Section 6.09 exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Note may be converted only if such Change in Control Payment Notice is withdrawn by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to a Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change in Control Payment Date in accordance with Section 6.09.

A Holder of Notes is not entitled to any rights of a Holder of Shares of Common Stock until, and only to the extent that, such Holder has effectively converted its Notes to Shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Article 4.

Section 4.02. Conversion Procedure.

To convert a Note, a Holder must satisfy all of the requirements in paragraph 8 of the Notes. The first Business Day on which the Holder satisfies all those requirements is the conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). As soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered upon the order of the Holder a certificate for the number of whole Shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion and cash in lieu of any fractional share determined pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof. The Person in whose name the certificate is registered shall become the shareholder of record on the Conversion Date and, as of such date, such Person’s rights as a Holder shall cease; provided, however, that no surrender of a Note on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the Person entitled to receive the Shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the shareholder of record of such Shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person entitled to receive such Shares of Common Stock as the shareholder of record thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day on which such stock transfer books are open; provided further, however, that such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.

No payment or other adjustment shall be made for accrued interest or dividends or distributions on any Shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes. If any Notes are converted during any period after the close of business on any record date for the payment of an installment of interest but prior to the opening of business on the next Interest Payment Date, interest for such Notes will be paid on the next Interest Payment Date, notwithstanding such

conversion, to the Holders of such Notes. Any Notes that are, however, delivered to the Company for conversion during the period after any record date but prior to the opening of business on the next Interest Payment Date must, except as described in the next sentence, be accompanied by funds equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of Notes being converted. If the Company (i) elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Article 3 hereof or (ii) offers to repurchase Notes upon a Change in Control pursuant to Section 6.09 hereof, on a date that is during that period from the close of business on a record date for the payment of an installment of interest and ending on the close of business on the next Interest Payment Date (or if such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Business Day after the Interest Payment Date), and any Holders surrender the Notes or portions thereof for conversion on a date that is not an Interest Payment Date, such Holders shall receive interest for the period from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the Conversion Date (it being understood that such Holders that surrender Notes or portions thereof for conversion following any redemption notice or Change in Control Offer shall not be required to pay such funds as described in the third sentence of this paragraph). No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion, but a cash adjustment will be made for any fractional shares.

If a Holder converts more than one Note at the same time, the number of whole Shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the total principal amount of Notes converted.

Upon surrender of a Note that is converted in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 4.03. Fractional Shares.

The Company will not issue fractional Shares of Common Stock upon conversion of a Note. In lieu thereof, the Company will pay an amount in cash based upon the Closing Sale Price of the Shares of Common Stock on the last Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date.

Section 4.04. Taxes on Conversion.

Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes (other than taxes on income) and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes pursuant hereto. A Holder delivering a Note for conversion shall be liable for and will be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Note or Notes to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless 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 4.05. Company to Provide Stock.

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Notes as herein provided, a sufficient number of Shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Notes for Shares of Common Stock. All Shares of

Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Notes shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim when so issued.

Section 4.06. Adjustment of Conversion Price.

The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment by the Company from time to time as follows:

(a) Stock split and combinations. In case the Company, at any time or from time to time after the issuance date of the Notes, (a) subdivides or splits the outstanding Shares of Common Stock, (b) combines or reclassifies the outstanding Shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (c) issues by reclassification of the Shares of Common Stock any shares of its Capital Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to that event or the record date for that event, whichever is earlier, shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision or combination. Such reduction or increase, as the case may be, shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Business Day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(b) Stock Dividends in Shares of Common Stock. In case the Company, at any time or from time to time after the issuance date of the Notes, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in Shares of Common Stock on any class of its Capital Stock, other than dividends or distributions of Shares of Common Stock or other securities with respect to which adjustments are provided in paragraph (a) above or with respect to payments of interest or dividend obligations with respect to a particular series of Capital Stock in accordance with the terms of such Capital Stock, the Conversion Price will be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which will be the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding; and

(ii) the denominator of which will be the sum of that number of shares and the total number of shares issued in that dividend or distribution.

Such reduction shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Business Day immediately following the record date fixed for such determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.

(c) Issuance of Rights or Warrants. In case the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of its Shares of Common Stock rights or warrants entitling those holders for a period of not more than 60 days to subscribe for or purchase its Shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into its Shares of Common Stock at a price per share (or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share) less than the Current Market Price, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the Business Day immediately following the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive those rights or warrants will be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which is the sum of the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on that record date and the number of Shares of Common Stock (or Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities) that the aggregate offering price of the total number of Shares of Common Stock (or convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities) so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion, exchange or exercise price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock; and

(ii) the denominator of which is the sum of the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on that record date and the number of additional Shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities so offered are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable).

Such reduction shall become effective at the opening of business on the Business Day immediately following the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.

For purposes of this Section 4.06(c), the issuance of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares of Common Stock will be deemed to be the issuance of rights or warrants to purchase Shares of Common Stock into which those securities are convertible at an aggregate offering price equal to the sum of the aggregate offering price of those securities and the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon conversion of those securities into Shares of Common Stock. This adjustment will be made successively whenever any such event occurs. For purposes of this Section 4.06(c), upon conversion of the Notes into Shares of Common Stock, to the extent that a shareholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) is in effect upon such conversion, the Holders of Notes will receive, in addition to the Shares of Common Stock, the rights described in such Rights Plan (whether or not the rights have separated from the Shares of Common Stock at the time of conversion), upon the terms of and subject to the limitations set forth in the Rights Plan. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to the Rights Plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for purposes of this Section 4.06(c).

(d) Distribution of Indebtedness, Securities or Assets. In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all Holders of its Shares of Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Shares of Common Stock), evidences of Indebtedness or other non-cash assets, or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Shares of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities but excluding (w) those rights and warrants referred to in Section 4.06(c); (x) the distribution of rights to all holders of Shares of Common Stock pursuant to the adoption of a Rights Plan or the detachment of such rights under the terms of such Rights Plan; (y) dividends or distributions of stock referred to in Section 4.06(b) and (z) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash (such capital stock, evidence of its indebtedness, other non-cash assets or securities being distributed hereinafter in this Section 4.06(d) called the “distributed assets”)), then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination

of shareholders entitled to such distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying such current Conversion Price by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Shares of Common Stock on the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants attributable to one Share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date); and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of a Share of Common Stock on such record date.

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately following the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.

(e) All-cash Distributions. In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time make a distribution of cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to subsection (f) below) to all or substantially all holders of Shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of Shares of Common Stock entitled to such distribution by a fraction: (A) whose numerator shall be an amount equal to (a) the Current Market Price per Share of Common Stock on such record date (as determined pursuant to Section 4.06(g)) less (b) the lesser of (i) the amount of the distribution per Share of Common Stock and (ii) such Current Market Price per Share of Common Stock and (B) whose denominator shall be the Current Market Price per Share of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.06(e) to the extent, and only to the extent, such adjustment would cause the Conversion Price to be reduced to less than one cent ($0.01). An adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4.06(e) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day immediately following such record date.

(f) Tender Offer Purchases. In case any tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Shares of Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall involve the payment to shareholders of aggregate consideration in an amount (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) expressed as an amount per Share of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged, and not withdrawn, pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer as of the Expiration Time (as defined below) that exceeds the Current Market Price as of the day next succeeding the last date (the “Expiration Date”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders

could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the “Expiration Time”), then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the first Business Day after the Expiration Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the product of the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price per share on the Expiration Date; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid) payable to shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of all Shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the Shares of Common Stock deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (y) the product of (a) an amount equal to (I) the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Expiration Time less (II) any Purchased Shares (and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company and its Subsidiaries) and (b) the Current Market Price per share on the Expiration Date.

such reduction (if any) to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Business Day following the Expiration Date. In the event that the Company would be obligated to purchase Shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect based upon the number of Shares of Common Stock actually purchased. If the application of this Section 4.06(f) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 4.06.

For purposes of this Section 4.06, the term “tender offer” shall mean and include both tender offers and exchange offers, all references to “purchases” of shares in tender offers (and all similar references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares in tender offers and the acquisition of shares pursuant to exchange offers, and all references to “tendered shares” (and all similar references) shall mean and include shares tendered in both tender offers and exchange offers. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, “tender offer” shall not include open market purchases in compliance with Section 10b-18 under the Exchange Act or negotiated purchases that are not subject to Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act.

(g) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 4.06, the “Current Market Price” on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the 20 consecutive Trading Days commencing 30 Trading Days before (i) the Expiration Date with respect to distributions or tender offers under subsection (f) of this Section 4.06 or (ii) the record date with respect to distributions, issuances or other events requiring such computation under subsection (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 4.06. If no such prices are available, Current Market Price shall be the fair value of one Share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors (which fair value

shall be conclusively determined by the Board and evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee).

(h) If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required to be made therefor as of the record date or Determination Date or Expiration Date is not thereafter made or paid by the Company for any reason, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or the effective date or Determination Date or Expiration Date had not occurred.

Section 4.07. No Adjustment.

No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required until cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% of the Conversion Price as last adjusted; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 4.07 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Shares of Common Stock.

Section 4.08. Other Adjustments.

(a) In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof, the Holder of any Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of Capital Stock of the Company other than Shares of Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Shares of Common Stock contained in this Article 4.

(b) In the event that Shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of any of the rights or warrants referred to in Sections 4.06(c) and (d) hereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would otherwise be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Shares of Common Stock actually delivered.

(c) Except as set forth in this Article 4, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Price for (i) the issuance of its Shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable therefor or (ii) the right to purchase its Shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible or exchangeable therefor.

Section 4.09. Voluntary Adjustments.

The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to any required by Section 4.06 hereof, as it determines in its discretion to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution or rights to purchase stock or securities or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock made by the Company to its shareholders will not be taxable to the recipients thereof; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company reduce the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4.09 if such reduction

would require shareholder approval under NASDAQ rules and regulations in effect at the time of the reduction, unless such shareholders shall have duly approved such reduction.

Section 4.10. Notice of Adjustment.

Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The Officers’ Certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall receive written notice of an adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that the Conversion Price has not been adjusted and that the last Conversion Price of which it has knowledge remains in effect. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

Section 4.11. Notice of Certain Transactions.

In the event that:

(1) the Company takes any action which would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price;

(2) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 4.12; or

(3) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

the Company shall mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books and the Trustee a notice stating the proposed record or effective date, as the case may be, to permit a Holder of a Note to convert such Note into Shares of Common Stock prior to the record date for or the effective date of the transaction in order to receive the rights, warrants, securities or assets which a holder of Shares of Common Stock on that date may receive. The Company shall mail the notice at least 20 days before such date; however, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the validity of any transaction referred to in clauses (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 4.11.

Section 4.12. Effect of Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers or Sales on Conversion Privilege.

If any of the following shall occur, namely:

(1) any reclassification or change of outstanding Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Notes (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination or as a result of a reincorporation of the Company in another jurisdiction);

(2) any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in name, or par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, outstanding Shares of Common Stock; or

(3) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all the property or business of the Company as an entirety;

the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that the Holder of each Note then outstanding shall have the right to convert such Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a Holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such Note immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance assuming such Holder failed to exercise such Holder’s rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. In the event that the Shares of Common Stock are exchanged or substituted for other securities in connection with any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, such supplemental Indenture shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Price which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Price provided for in this Article 4. If, in the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of Shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and property of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. The provision of this Section 4.12 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 4.12, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders of the Notes upon the conversion of their Notes after any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and any adjustment to be made with respect thereto.

Section 4.13. Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 4 should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, the

Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Notes, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with any provisions of this Article 4.

The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 4.12, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof.

Section 4.14. Voluntary Reduction.

The Company from time to time may, subject to approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange, reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and if the Board of Directors determines that such reduction would be in the best interest of the Company and the Company provides 15 days’ prior notice to the Holders of any reduction in the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4.14; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company reduce the Conversion Price if such reduction would require shareholder approval under NASDAQ rules and regulations in effect at the time of the reduction, unless such shareholders shall have duly approved such reduction.

ARTICLE 5.
SUBORDINATION

Section 5.01. Agreement to Subordinate.

The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes (including the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes and the redemption price with respect to any Notes being called for redemption and the Change in Control Payment with respect to all Notes subject to purchase pursuant to Section 6.09 hereof) are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 5, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that such subordination is intended for the benefit of, and may be enforced by, the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall rank pari passu with all other senior subordinated Indebtedness of the Company including, without limitation, the Old Notes.

Section 5.02. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

(a) Upon payment or distribution of assets of the Company, of any kind or character, including without limitation cash, property or securities, to creditors pursuant to or as a result of any Insolvency or Bankruptcy Proceeding, all principal, interest (including interest after the commencement of any Insolvency or Bankruptcy Proceeding at the Default rate set forth in the agreement or instrument relating to such Senior Indebtedness whether or not such interest is an allowable claim under such proceeding), or other amounts payable on the Senior Indebtedness or claims relating thereto, shall first be paid in full, or payment thereof be provided for in cash or in

a manner satisfactory to the Holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before either the holders of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or the Trustee under this Indenture shall be entitled to retain any assets so paid or distributed in respect of this Indenture (except for Permitted Junior Securities); and upon any such Insolvency or Bankruptcy Proceeding any payment or distribution of assets of the Company, of any kind or character, including without limitation, cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee under this Indenture would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 5, shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, administrator, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders of the Notes or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the Holders of the Senior Indebtedness or to their representatives under the agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash or in a manner satisfactory to the Holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the Notes or by the Trustee under this Indenture (except for Permitted Junior Securities).

(b) Upon any distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 5, the Trustee, subject to Article 9, and the Holders of Notes will be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the liquidation trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 5.

Section 5.03. Default on Senior Indebtedness.

The Company may not pay the principal of or interest on the Notes or make any deposit pursuant to Section 2.04 and may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire any Notes if (i) any principal, premium or interest in respect of any Designated Senior Indebtedness is not paid within any applicable grace period (including at maturity) or (ii) any other default on Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, (x) the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or (y) such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or cash equivalents. During the continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration), the Company may not pay the Notes for a period (a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of such default from the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by written notice to the Trustee and the Company from the Representative who gave such Payment Blockage Notice, (ii) by repayment in full in cash or cash equivalents of such Senior Indebtedness or (iii) because the default giving rise to such Payment Blockage Notice is no longer continuing). Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence, unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the maturity of such

Designated Senior Indebtedness and shall not have rescinded such acceleration, the Company may (unless otherwise prohibited pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.03) resume payments on the Notes after such Payment Blockage Period. Not more than one Payment Blockage Notice with respect to all issues of Designated Senior Indebtedness may be given in any consecutive 365-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to one or more issues of Designated Senior Indebtedness during such period; provided, further, that no new Payment Blockage Notice may be given unless all scheduled payments on the Notes that have become due and payable have been paid in full to the Holders. Any default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice shall not be permitted to be the basis for any subsequent Payment Blockage Notice.

Section 5.04. Acceleration of Notes.

If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify all holders of Senior Indebtedness or their Representatives known to the Company of the acceleration.

Section 5.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

If any payment or distribution of any kind, including without limitation, cash, property or securities, is made by way of set-off or otherwise to the Holders of the Notes or to the Trustee under this Indenture that because of these subordination provisions should not have been made to it, such Trustee or Holder who receives the distribution shall segregate such distribution from its other funds and property and shall hold it in trust for the benefit of, and upon demand shall pay it over to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or to their Representatives under the agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued or incurred as their respective interests may appear, for application to, or for the payment or prepayment in full of, all Senior Indebtedness and all claims relating thereto.

Section 5.06. Notice by Company.

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 5, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article 5.

Section 5.07. Subrogation.

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the Holders of Notes will be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness, to the extent of the application thereto of monies or other assets which would have been received by the Holders of Notes but for the provisions of this Article 5, until the Notes have been paid in full and no such subrogation, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of Notes, will be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Section 5.08. Relative Rights.

This Article 5 defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

(i) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms;

(ii) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness; or

(iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders.

If the Company fails because of this Article 5 to pay principal of or interest on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a Default or Event of Default.

Section 5.09. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.

No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any holder or by the failure of the Company or any holder to comply with this Indenture.

Section 5.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative.

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 5, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 5.

Section 5.11. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 5 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office at least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to

violate this Article 5. Only the Company or a Representative may give the notice. Nothing in this Article 5 shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 9.07 hereof.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

Section 5.12. Authorization to Effect Subordination.

Each Holder of Notes by its acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge and effectuate the subordination of the Notes as provided for in this Article 5 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Forthwith upon the request of any Holder of Senior Indebtedness or its representative or the trustee under any Indenture under which any instruments evidencing Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Person making such request such agreements or instruments reasonably acceptable to the Trustee in favor of the Holders of Senior Indebtedness reflecting the terms of the subordination of the Notes provided for in this Article 5 and in a form reasonably acceptable to such Holder, representative or trustee, as applicable.

Section 5.13. Payments of Notes Permitted.

Nothing contained in this Indenture, or any of the Notes, will upon the happening of any Default, condition, event or act described in Section 5.03, prevent any payment being made by the Company or the Trustee in connection with the redemption or repurchase of Notes if: (i) notice of redemption or repurchase, as applicable, has been given pursuant to Article 3 or Section 6.09, respectively, prior to the happening of any such Default, condition, event or act described in Section 5.03; (ii) notice of such redemption or repurchase, as applicable, is mailed not earlier than 60 days before the date fixed for such redemption or repurchase; and (iii) prior to the time of such mailing the Company shall have furnished to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to the absence of any such Default, condition, event or act described in Section 5.03 and to the effect that, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Officers signing such certificate, there is no reason to expect that any such Default, condition, event or act will exist at the date fixed for such redemption or repurchase, as applicable, or as a result of such redemption or repurchase.

Section 5.14. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article 5, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to (i) Holders or holders of Shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Notes; (ii) the Company; or (iii) any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness would be entitled by virtue of this Article 5 or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or

obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 5 and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.

ARTICLE 6.
COVENANTS

Section 6.01. Payment of Notes.

The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 11:00 a.m., New York City Time, on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due.

The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Section 6.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company shall maintain in Minneapolis, MN, a Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar and an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall 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 shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in Minneapolis, MN for such purposes. The Company shall 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 in accordance with Section 2.03.

Section 6.03. Reports.

The Company shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it files such annual and quarterly reports, information, documents and other reports with the SEC, copies of its annual and quarterly reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (the “SEC Reports”). If at any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide reports containing substantially the same information as that contained in the SEC Reports (the “Trustee Reports”), such reports to be provided at the same times the Company would have been required to provide the SEC Reports to the Trustee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence had it then been subject to section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, provided that the Trustee Reports need not include any certifications from officers of the Company. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a). The Trustee has no duty or obligation to verify the accuracy or investigate the content of any such reports, information or document. The Trustee’s receipt of the reports under this Section 6.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee will not be deemed to have notice, actual or constructive, of such reports, information or document by receipt thereof.

Section 6.04. Compliance Certificate.

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that, in their capacities as Officers, to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in Default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(b) The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 6.05. Taxes.

The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the Board of Directors shall

determine that the failure to effect such payment is not materially adverse to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 6.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Subject to Article 7 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence or status, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Significant Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 6.08. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change in Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall make an offer (a “Change in Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change in Control Payment”). Within 10 Business Days following any Change in Control, the Company shall mail a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder stating:

(1) that the Change in Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 6.09 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no later than 30 Business Days after the occurrence of a Change in Control (the “Change in Control Payment Date”);

(3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(4) the name and address of each Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;

(5) the Conversion Price and any adjustments thereto and information concerning the Holder’s right to convert the Notes;

(6) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change in Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change in Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change in Control Payment Date;

(7) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change in Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Change in Control Payment Date;

(8) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Change in Control Payment Date, facsimile transmission, letter or any other written form setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its Change in Control Payment Notice;

(9) that Notes as to which a Change in Control Payment Notice has been given may be converted into Shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 6.09 only to the extent that any Change in Control Payment Notice given by the Holder has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

(10) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof.

The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, file a Schedule TO or any successor or similar schedule, if required, under the Exchange Act and comply with any other federal, state and other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes in connection with a Change in Control.

A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs after the date hereof:

(i) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are defined below) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined below), directly or indirectly of shares of Voting Stock of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power of all outstanding classes of Voting Stock of the Company or has the power, directly or indirectly, to elect a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company;

(ii) during any consecutive two-year period, individuals who at the beginning of that two-year period constituted the Company’s Board of Directors (together with any new trustees whose election to the Company’s Board of Directors, or whose nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of a majority of the trustees who were either trustees at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was approved by the Board of Directors or nominating committee thereof, the majority of the members of which meet the above criteria) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors then in office;

(iii) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, another Person or the Company sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event other than pursuant to a transaction in which the Persons that “beneficially owned” (as defined below), directly or indirectly, shares of Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction “beneficially own” (as defined below), directly or indirectly, shares of Voting Stock of the Company representing at least a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding classes of Voting Stock of the surviving or transferee Person; or

(iv) holders of the Capital Stock of the Company approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company (whether or not otherwise in compliance with this Indenture).

A Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if:

(i) the Closing Sale Price of Shares of Common Stock for any five Trading Days during the ten Trading Days immediately preceding the consummation of the Change in Control is at least equal to 105% of the Conversion Price in effect on such day; or

(ii) in the case of a merger or consolidation, all of the consideration (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights) in the merger or consolidation constituting the Change in Control consists of common stock traded on a United States national securities exchange or on the Toronto Stock Exchange, or any successor thereto (or which will be so traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such change in control) and as a result of such transaction or transactions the Notes become convertible solely into such common stock.

For the purpose of the definition of “Change in Control”, (i) “person” and “group” have the meanings given such terms under Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision to either of the foregoing, and the term “group” includes any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act or any successor provision thereto, (ii) a “beneficial owner” shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, as in effect on the date of this Indenture, except that the number of shares of Voting Stock of the Company shall be deemed to include, in addition to all outstanding shares of Voting Stock of the Company and

Unissued Shares (as defined below) deemed to be held by the “person” or “group” (as such terms are defined above) or other Person with respect to which the Change in Control determination is being made, all unissued shares deemed to be held by all other Persons, and (iii) the terms “beneficially owned” and “beneficially own” shall have meanings correlative to that of “beneficial owner”. The term “unissued shares” means shares of Voting Stock not outstanding that are subject to options, warrants, rights to purchase or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days of the date of determination of a Change in Control, including the Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

(b) A Holder may exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 6.09 upon delivery of a written notice (which shall be in substantially the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes and which may be delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Notes, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary’s customary procedures) of the exercise of such rights (a “Change in Control Payment Notice”) to any Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Change in Control Payment Date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to a Paying Agent the Change in Control Payment Notice contemplated by this Section 6.09(b) shall have the right to withdraw such Change in Control Payment Notice in whole or in a portion thereof that is a principal amount of $1,000 or in an integral multiple thereof at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Change in Control Payment Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 6.09(a) hereof.

Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of the Change in Control Payment Notice specified in this Section 6.09(b), the Holder of the Note in respect of which such Change in Control Payment Notice was given shall (unless such Change in Control Payment Notice is withdrawn as specified herein) thereafter be entitled to receive the Change in Control Payment with respect to such Note. Such Change in Control Payment shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of (i) the Change in Control Payment Date with respect to such Note (provided the conditions in this Section 6.09(b) have been satisfied) and (ii) the time of delivery of such Note to a Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by this Section 6.09(b). Notes in respect of which a Change in Control Payment Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted into Shares of Common Stock on or after the date of the delivery of such Change in Control Payment Notice unless such Change in Control Payment Notice has first been validly withdrawn.

(c) No later than 12:30 p.m. New York City time, on the Change in Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change in Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change in Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change in Control Payment, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal

amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered by such Holder, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change in Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change in Control Payment Date.

If a Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, money sufficient to pay the Change in Control Payment of any Note for which a Change in Control Payment Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture then, on the Change in Control Payment Date, such Note will cease to be outstanding and the rights of the Holder in respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Change in Control Payment as aforesaid).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.09, the Company shall not be required to make a Change in Control Offer upon a Change in Control if a third party makes the Change in Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 6.09 hereof and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable to a Change in Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change in Control Offer.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.09, the Company shall not be required to make a Change in Control Offer upon a Change in Control if payment on the Notes is prohibited pursuant to the subordination provisions of Section 5 above.

Section 6.09. Limitation on Incurrence of Senior Indebtedness

Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this Indenture does not limit the ability of any Subsidiary of the Company to incur Indebtedness at any time.

Section 6.10. Limitation on Liens.

The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its properties or assets as a whole in one or more related transactions to, another Person unless (i) the Company is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States, or the District of Columbia, or Canada, or any province or territory of Canada, (ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the Obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, (iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iv) the Company or the surviving corporation, as the case may be, has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such merger, consolidation, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance, transfer or other

ARTICLE 8.
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 8.01. Events of Default.

An “Event of Default” occurs if:

(a) the Company fails to pay principal on any Note when due, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions in Section 5 hereof;

(b) the Company fails to pay any interest on any Note when due if such failure continues for 30 days, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of Section 5 hereof;

(c) the Company fails to perform any other agreement required of the Company in this Indenture if such failure continues for 60 days after notice is given in accordance with this Indenture;

(d) the Company fails to pay the purchase price of any Note when due, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of Section 5 hereof;

(e) the Company fails to provide timely notice of a Change in Control if such failure continues for 30 days after such Change in Control;

(f) any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or one of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries (all or substantially all of the outstanding Voting Stock of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount in

excess of €10.0 million is not paid at final maturity or upon acceleration and such Indebtedness is not discharged, or such acceleration is not cured or rescinded, within 30 days after written notice as provided in this Indenture; and

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

(i) is for relief against the Company or one of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case;

(ii) appoints a custodian of the Company or one of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company; or

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or one of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

Section 8.02. Acceleration.

If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (g) of Section 8.01 hereof) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (g) of Section 8.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Any payment by the Company on the Notes following any such acceleration will be subject to the subordination provisions of Article 5 hereof. Before a judgment or decree is entered based on such acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

Section 8.03. Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, 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 8.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Subject to Section 8.02, Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or a failure by the Company to convert any Notes into Shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and Article 4 of this Indenture, or a failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture that would require the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected to waive such failure (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment Default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 8.05. Control by Majority.

Subject to the Trustee’s duties in the case of an Event of Default, the Trustee will not be obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers at the request of the Holders, unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. Subject to this Indenture, applicable law and the Trustee’s indemnification, the 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 with respect to the Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 8.06. Limitation on Suits.

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

(a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

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

(c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes , provide to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense resulting from instituting such proceeding as Trustee;

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and

(e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes did not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the 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 8.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), to convert such Note in accordance with Article 4 or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 8.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(a) or (b) 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 for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and 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 8.09. 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 9.07 hereof. 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 9.07 hereof 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 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 8.10. Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, subject to Article 5 of this Indenture, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 9.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense 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, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Company or to 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 8.10.

Section 8.11. Undertaking for Costs.

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, 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 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 8.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 9.
TRUSTEE

Section 9.01. Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(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 or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the 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).

The Trustee shall not be bound to make any inquiry or investigation into the matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of Indebtedness 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 shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and 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 such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its choice and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c) The Trustee may act and rely and shall be protected in acting and relying in good faith on the opinion or advice of, or information obtained from, any counsel, accountant, appraiser or other expert or adviser, whether retained or employed by the Company or by the Trustee, in relation to any matter arising in the administration of the trusts hereof.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it reasonably believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order.

(f) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been received by the Trustee from the Company or from any Holder of the Notes, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

(g) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

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

(i) 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.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture, in no event shall the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent or the Registrar be liable under or in connection with this

Indenture for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent or the Registrar has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought; provided that the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent or the Registrar is not the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 9.03. 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 any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 9.10 and 9.11 hereof.

Section 9.04. 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 proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 9.05. Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 9.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

Within 60 days after each June 15 beginning with the June 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the 12 months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.

Section 9.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 9.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, including, without limitation, in connection with any losses, liabilities or expenses that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Notes in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its Obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any and all actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture and participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel; provided, however, that the Trustee may only employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company if in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee (i) a conflict of interest exists by reason of common representation or (ii) there are legal defenses available to the Trustee that are different from or are in addition to those available to the Company or if all parties commonly represented do not agree as to the action (or inaction) of counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Obligations of the Company under this Section 9.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

To secure the Company’s payment Obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(g) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

Section 9.08. Replacement of Trustee.

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.

The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 9.10 hereof;

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 9.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of 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 promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in Section 9.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 9.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 9.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such merger, conversion, sale, transfer or consolidation to which it shall be a party, shall be and become successor Trustee hereunder and vested with all of the title to the Trust Estate, and all the trusts, powers, discretion, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 9.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b).

Section 9.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

ARTICLE 10.
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 10.01. Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

(1)

either:

	(a)		all outstanding Notes have or will become due and payable at their scheduled maturity, within one year; or

	(b)		all outstanding Notes that are scheduled for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year;

and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable

Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not discharge the Company’s obligation to effect conversion, registration of transfer or exchange of securities in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(2)		no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, any other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;

(3)		the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

(4)		the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section, the provisions of Section 10.02 and of Article 4 shall survive.

Section 10.02. Application of Trust Money; Reinstatement.

All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 10.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its Obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 10.03. Repayment to Company.

The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess money (i) deposited with them pursuant to Section 10.01 and (ii) held by them at any time.

The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after a right to such money has matured; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be mailed to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein, which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.

ARTICLE 11.
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 11.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any other change that does not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors and the Trustee, adversely affect the rights of any Holders of Notes in any material respect;

(b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2 hereof (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect any Holder;

(c) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s Obligations to the Holders of the Notes by a successor to the Company pursuant to Article 7 hereof;

(d) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Note in any material respect;

(e) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

(f) pursuant to Section 4.14 hereof.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the

Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 11.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 11.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 8.04 and 8.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment Default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Sections 2.08 and 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 11.02.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 8.04 and 8.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 11.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(a) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or interest on, any Note;

(b) reduce the principal amount of or any interest on any Note;

(d) change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or any interest on, any Note;

(e) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with respect to, any Note;

(f) modify the provisions with respect to the purchase right of the Holders upon a Change in Control in a manner adverse to Holders;

(g) modify the subordination provisions in Article 5 hereof in a manner materially adverse to the Holders of Notes;

(h) adversely affect the right of Holders to convert Notes pursuant to Article 4 hereof other than as provided in this Indenture;

(i) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes required for modification or amendment of this Indenture provided for in this Article 11;

(j) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes necessary for waiver of compliance set forth in Section 8.04 and Section 8.07; or

(k) modify provisions with respect to Section 11.02 hereof, except to increase the percentage required for modification or waiver or to provide for consent of each affected Holder of the Notes.

Section 11.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 11.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 11.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 11.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 11 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall receive and (subject to Section 9.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

XXXXXX INTERNATIONAL INC.
8.5% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2012

1. INTEREST

Xxxxxx International Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Company”, which term shall include any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 8.5% per annum. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing July 15, 2010, unless such date is not a Business Day, in which case, the Company shall pay interest on the next succeeding Business Day and such payment shall be deemed to have been paid on such Interest Payment Date and no interest shall accrue during the additional period of time. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from •, 2009; provided, however, that if there is not an existing Default in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT

The Company shall pay interest on this Note (except defaulted interest) to the Person who is the Holder of this Note at the close of business on January 1 or July 1, as the case may be, next preceding the related Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Note to a Paying Agent to collect payment of principal. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company may pay principal and interest in respect of any Definitive Note by check or wire payable in such money; provided, however, that a Holder with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $1,000,000 will be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the election of such Holder. The Company may mail an interest check to the Holder’s registered address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as this Note is registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all payments hereon shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association.

3. PAYING AGENT, REGISTRAR AND CONVERSION AGENT

Initially, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, (the “Trustee,” which term shall include any successor trustee under the Indenture hereinafter referred to) will act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent without notice to the Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may, subject to certain limitations set forth in this Indenture, act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

A-3

4. INDENTURE, LIMITATIONS

This Note is the only one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its 8.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of •, 2009, (together with any supplemental Indentures thereto, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture and those required by or made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, as in effect on the date of the Indenture. This Note is subject to all such terms, and the Holder of this Note is referred to the Indenture and said Act for a statement of them. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Note and the Indenture, the Indenture shall conclusively govern resolution thereof for all purposes. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Indenture.

The Notes are subordinated unsecured Obligations of the Company limited to $72,500,000 aggregate principal amount, subject to Section 2.07 of the Indenture.

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

The Company shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to July 15, 2011. Thereafter the Company shall have the option to redeem the Notes in whole, or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail to Holders of the Notes, at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes together with accrued interest up to, but not including, the redemption date; provided that if the redemption date falls after an interest payment record date and on or before an Interest Payment Date, the applicable interest payment shall be payable to the same Person that will be paid the principal amount of such Note upon redemption.

No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

6. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail or in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, by electronic transmission, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part, but only in whole integral multiples in excess thereof. On and after the redemption date, subject to the deposit with the Paying Agent of funds sufficient to pay the redemption price plus accrued interest, if any, accrued to, but not including, the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

7. PURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDER UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL

At the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase all or any part specified by the Holder (so long as the principal amount of such part is $1,000 or an integral multiple in excess thereof) of the Notes held by such Holder on the date that is 30 Business Days after the occurrence of a Change in

A-4

Control, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof together with accrued interest up to, but excluding, the Change in Control Payment Date. The Holder shall have the right to withdraw any Change in Control Payment Notice (in whole or in a portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof in excess thereof) at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Change in Control Payment Date by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

8. CONVERSION

A Holder of a Note may convert the principal amount of such Note (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple in excess thereof) into Shares of Common Stock at any time prior to the last Business Day prior to the close of business on January 15, 2012; provided, however, that if the Note is called for redemption or subject to purchase upon a Change in Control, the conversion right will terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date or the Change in Control Payment Date, as the case may be, for such Note or such earlier date as the Holder presents such Note for redemption or purchase (unless the Company shall default in making the redemption payment or Change in Control Payment, as the case may be, when due, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such Default is cured and such Note is redeemed or purchased).

The initial Conversion Price is $3.30 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The number of Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note is determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note or portion thereof converted by the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion; in lieu thereof, an amount will be paid in cash based upon the Closing Sale Price of the Shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date.

To convert a Note, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the conversion notice set forth below and deliver such notice to a Conversion Agent, (b) surrender the Note to a Conversion Agent, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by a Registrar or a Conversion Agent, and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. Notes so surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of business on any regular record date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (excluding Notes or portions thereof called for redemption or subject to purchase upon a Change in Control on a redemption date or Change in Control Payment Date, as the case may be, during the period beginning at the close of business on a regular record date and ending at the close of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or if such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the next such Business Day) shall also be accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such Note then being converted, and such interest shall be payable to such registered Holder notwithstanding the conversion of such Note, subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the payment of defaulted interest by the Company. If the Company defaults in the payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, the Company shall promptly repay such funds to such Holder. A Holder may convert a portion of a Note equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

A-5

A Note in respect of which a Holder had delivered a Change in Control Payment Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Note may be converted only if the Change in Control Payment Notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

9. SUBORDINATION

The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness. Any Holder by accepting this Note agrees to and shall be bound by such subordination provisions, authorizes the Trustee to give them effect and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose. In addition to all other rights of Senior Indebtedness described in the Indenture, the Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be Senior Indebtedness and entitled to the benefits of the subordination provisions irrespective of any amendment, modification or waiver of any terms of any instrument relating to the Senior Indebtedness or any extension or renewal of the Senior Indebtedness. Such subordination is intended for the benefit of, and may be enforced by, each Holder of Senior Indebtedness or Designated Senior Indebtedness, as contemplated by the Indenture.

10. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. A Holder may register the transfer of or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation thereto by law or permitted by this Indenture.

11. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS

The Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

12. UNCLAIMED MONEY

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment.

13. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes, may be waived in any particular instance with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without the consent of or notice to any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other

A-6

things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any other change that does not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Trustee, adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect.

14. SUCCESSOR CORPORATION

When a successor corporation assumes all the Obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the predecessor corporation will (except in certain circumstances specified in the Indenture) be released from those Obligations.

15. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Under the Indenture, an Event of Default includes: (i) the Company fails to pay principal on any Note when due, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions in the Indenture; (ii) the Company fails to pay any interest on any Note when due if such failure continues for 30 days, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; (iii) the Company fails to perform any other agreement required of the Company in the Indenture if such failure continues for 60 days after notice is given in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; (iv) the Company fails to pay the purchase price of any Note when due, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; (v) the Company fails to provide timely notice of a Change in Control if such failure continues for 30 days after a Change in Control; (vi) any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or one of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries (all or substantially all of the outstanding Voting Stock of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of $10.0 million is not paid at final maturity or upon acceleration and such Indebtedness is not discharged, or such acceleration is not cured or rescinded, within 30 days after written notice as provided in the Indenture; and (vii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company. If an Event of Default (other than as a result of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) 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 then outstanding due and payable immediately, all as and to the extent provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs as a result of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company, the outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further notice, all as and to the extent provided in the Indenture. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Company is required to file periodic reports with the Trustee as to the absence of Default.

16. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY

Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services

A-7

for the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, as if it were not the Trustee.

17. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS

A director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any Obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture nor for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such Obligations or their creation. The Holder of the Note by accepting the Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of this Note.

18. AUTHENTICATION

This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or an authenticating agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

Re: Limitation on Beneficial Ownership

Reference is made to those certain 8.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the “Note”) issued by Xxxxxx International Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Company”) to Alden Global Distressed Opportunities Fund, L.P. (together with its affiliates, the “Holder”) pursuant to the Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of November ___, 2009, by and between the Company and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States, as trustee. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture and the Note, the Company shall not effect any conversion of the Note that is in the discretion of the Holder, and the Holder shall not have the right to voluntarily convert any portion of the Note, nor shall the Holder submit any Notice of Conversion, pursuant to Article 4 of the Indenture or Section 8 of the Note, to the extent that after giving effect to such voluntary conversion (together with any interest payment payable in shares of Common Stock at the election of the Company, a “Voluntary Conversion”), the Holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Voluntary Conversion. For purposes hereof, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes hereof, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may request the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Note, by the Holder since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The Holder, by submitting any Notice of Conversion pursuant to the Indenture, shall be deemed to have represented to the Company that the beneficial ownership of the Holder and its affiliates of shares of common stock of the Company, after giving effect to such conversion, will not be in excess of the Maximum Percentage. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that any such increase will not be effective until the

sixty-first (61^st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4 of the Indenture or Section 8 of the Note, any Voluntary Conversion of the Note that would result, after giving effect to such Voluntary Conversion, in the Holder beneficially owning in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion shall be null and void as if such conversion never occurred.

This letter agreement is by and between the Company and the Holder and the restrictions contained herein do not apply to any other holder of Notes, including to any transferee of the Holder’s Note, or to the trustee under the Indenture.

Other than as set forth herein, this letter agreement shall be binding on any successors and assigns of the parties hereto. The parties hereto confirm their acknowledgment and agreement that it is the intention of the parties that the terms and conditions of this letter be effective simultaneously with the Holder’s receipt of the Note. This letter agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, which together shall constitute this letter agreement.
