as
are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and
the
Base Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule
or
regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any

in
Section 2.3. Each Global Debenture shall be duly executed by the

the
name of the Debenture Depositary or its nominee and may be retained by the
Trustee, as custodian of the Debenture Depositary, at its Corporate Trust
Office, for credit to the accounts of the owners of the Debentures evidenced
thereby and registered as such on the records of the Debenture
Depositary. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Debenture

records of the Trustee, and of the Debenture Depositary or its
nominee.
Section
2.3 Global
Debentures Legend.
Each
Global Debenture shall also bear the following legend on the face
thereof:
THIS

REFERRED TO HEREIN. THIS GLOBAL DEBENTURE MAY NOT BE EXCHANGED, IN
WHOLE OR IN PART, FOR A DEBENTURE REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF ANY PERSON OTHER
THAN THE DEBENTURE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF, EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED
CIRCUMSTANCES SET FORTH IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS
SET
FORTH IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.
Section

If
the
Issuer fails to make a payment of interest on any Debenture when due and payable
(“Defaulted Interest”), it shall pay such Defaulted Interest plus (to the
extent lawful) any interest payable on the Defaulted Interest, in any lawful
manner. It may elect to pay such Defaulted Interest, plus any such
interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of such Debentures on
which the interest is due on a subsequent Special Record Date. The
Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each such Debenture. The Issuer shall fix any
such Special Record Date and payment date for such payment and shall give notice
thereof to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. At least 15 days before
any such Special Record Date, the Issuer shall mail to Holders affected thereby
a notice that states the Special Record Date, the Interest Payment Date, and
amount of such interest to be paid.
Section
2.5 Book-Entry
Provisions for the Global Debentures.
(a) The
Global Debentures initially shall:
(i) be
registered in the name of the Debenture Depositary (or a nominee thereof);
and
-10-
(ii) may
be
delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Debenture Depositary.
Owners
of
Debentures registered as such on the records of the Debenture Depositary shall
have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global
Debenture held on their behalf by the Debenture Depositary, or the Trustee,
as
the custodian thereof, or under such Global Debenture, and the Debenture
Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and the Paying Agent,
as
the case may be, and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee or the Paying Agent,
as the case may be, as the absolute owner of such Global Debenture for all
purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained
herein shall (x) prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the
case may be, or any agent of the Issuer or Trustee or the Paying Agent, as
the
case may be, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Debenture Depositary or (y) impair, as between
the Debenture Depositary and the owners of Debentures registered as such on
the
records of the Debenture Depositary, the operation of customary practices
governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Debenture.
(b) The
Holder of a Global Debenture may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any
Person to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this
Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Debentures.
(c) A
Global
Debenture may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other
than
the Debenture Depositary (or a nominee thereof), and no such transfer to any
such other Person may be registered. Beneficial interests in a Global
Debenture may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of
the
Debenture Depositary.
(d) If
at any
time:
(i) the
Debenture Depositary notifies the Issuer and the Trustee in writing that it
is
no longer willing or able to continue to act as Debenture Depositary for the
Global Debentures, and a successor Debenture Depositary for the Global
Debentures is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such
notice;
(ii) the
Issuer, at its option, notifies the Debenture Depositary and the Trustee in
writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Physical Debentures under this
Supplemental Indenture in exchange for all or any part of the Debentures
represented by a Global Debenture or Global Debentures; or
(iii) an
Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a request
from the Debenture Depositary for the issuance of Physical Debentures in
exchange for such Global Debenture or Global Debentures;
then
the
Debenture Depositary shall surrender such Global Debenture or Global Debentures
to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and Issuer Order for the authentication
and delivery of Debentures, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for
such
Global Debenture or Global Debentures, Physical Debentures in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global
Debenture or Global Debentures. Such Physical Debentures shall be
registered in such names as the Debenture Depositary shall identify in writing
as the owners of the Debentures identified as such on its records represented
by
such Global Debenture or Global Debentures (or any nominee
thereof).
-11-
(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in connection with any transfer of beneficial interests in a
Global Debenture to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to Section 2.5(d),
the Trustee shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease
in
the principal amount of such Global Debenture in an amount equal to the
principal amount of the beneficial interests in such Global Debenture to be
transferred.

REDEMPTION
OF DEBENTURES
Section
4.1 Mandatory
Redemption.
(a) Financing
Redemption. So long as any Debentures remain Outstanding, upon
completion of any equity or debt financing by the Issuer for cash (other than
any Exempt Issuance), the Issuer will be required to use the net proceeds of
such financing to redeem for cash all Outstanding Debentures at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon up to but not including the Redemption Date.
(b) Redemption
Upon a Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs, the

at
any time or from time to time, before April 6, 2008 at a redemption price equal

thereon up to but not including the Redemption Date.
Section
4.3 Selection
of Debentures for Partial Repayment.
If
any
Debenture selected for partial redemption is converted in part before
termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Debenture
so selected, the converted portion of such Debenture shall be deemed to be
the
portion selected for redemption; provided, however, that the
Holder of such Debenture so converted and deemed redeemed shall not be entitled
to any additional interest payment as a result of such deemed redemption than
such Holder would have otherwise been entitled to receive upon conversion of
such Debenture pursuant to Section 2.1(e). Debentures that have been
converted during a selection of Debentures to be redeemed may be treated by
the
Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.
Section

Redemption Date, other than any Debentures called for redemption on that date
which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit, and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on such Debentures.
If

CONVERSION
OF DEBENTURES
Section
5.1 Conversion
Right and Conversion Price.
(a) Subject
to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 5, on or after April
6, 2008, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Debenture or any portion
of
the principal amount thereof which is $1,000.00 or an integral multiple of
$1,000.00 may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion
thereof, into duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable ADSs of the Issuer,
at the Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the
time of conversion.
Such
conversion right shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Maturity of the Debenture, except that where a
Debenture or a portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right
in respect of the Debenture or the portion so called, shall expire at the close
of business on the second Business Day preceding the Redemption Date, unless
the
Issuer defaults in making the payment due upon redemption.
(b) The
number of ADSs into which each $1,000.00 principal amount of Debentures is
convertible (the “Conversion Rate”) shall be initially equal to 2,083.33
ADSs per $1,000.00 principal amount of Debentures. The Conversion
Rate shall be adjusted by the Issuer as provided of Section 5.4.
Section
5.2 Exercise
of Conversion Right.
To
exercise the conversion right, the Holder of any Debenture to be converted
shall
surrender such Debenture duly endorsed or assigned to the Issuer or in blank,
at
the office of any Conversion Agent, accompanied by a duly signed Conversion
Notice stating that the Holder elects to convert such Debenture or, if less
than
the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof
to
be converted. Debentures surrendered for conversion 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 (except in the case of any
Debenture whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date) shall be
accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other funds
acceptable to the Issuer of an amount equal to the interest to be received
on
such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of Debentures being
surrendered for conversion.
-14-
Debentures
shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of
business on the day of surrender of such Debentures for conversion in accordance
with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of
such Debentures as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled
to
receive the ADSs issuable upon conversion shall be treated by the Company for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of the shares to be represented
by
ADSs at such time, provided that such Holder complies with such
requirements at or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such date; if such
requirements are complied with after such time on such date, the conversion
date
shall be deemed to be the following Business Day. As promptly as
practicable on or after the conversion date, the Issuer shall cause to be issued
and delivered to the converting Debenture Holder the number of ADSs issuable
upon conversion of such Debentures, together with payment in lieu of any
fraction of an ADS share as provided in Section 5.3.
In
the
case of any Debenture which is converted in part only, upon such conversion
the
Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Debenture or Debentures
of
authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted
portion of the principal amount of such Debentures.
Concurrently
herewith, the Issuer is appointing Citibank, N.A. ─ London Branch as the
Conversion Agent.
The
Issuer hereby agrees, and each Holder of Debentures by its purchase thereof
shall be deemed to have agreed, that the Conversion Agent shall incur no
liability in connection with its obligations under this Article 5, except such
liability as may result from the Conversion Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. In no event shall the Conversion Agent be liable to any
Person, including any Holder, for any consequential, punitive or special
damages. The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Conversion Agent for, and
to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or
expense (including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim
(regardless of who asserts such claim) of liability) incurred by the Conversion
Agent that arises out of or in connection with its obligations under this
Article 5, except such as may result from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Conversion Agent or any of its agents or
employees. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the
termination and any modification or amendment of this Supplemental
Indenture.
Section
5.3 Fractions
of ADSs.
No
fractional ADSs shall be issued upon conversion of any Debenture or
Debentures. If more than one Debenture shall be surrendered for
conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full ADSs which shall
be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures (or specified portions thereof)
so
surrendered. Instead of any fractional ADSs that would otherwise be
issued upon conversion of any Debenture or Debentures (or specified portions
thereof), the Issuer shall pay to the converting Holder a cash adjustment in
respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of an ADS) in
an
amount equal to the same fraction of the Trading Price of the ADSs as of the
Trading Day preceding the date of conversion.
-15-
Section
5.4 Adjustment
of Conversion Rate.
The
Issuer shall calculate the adjustments to the Conversion Rate as
follows:
(a) Splits,
Dividends, Etc.
(1) In
the
event of changes in the outstanding Ordinary Shares, on or after the date
hereof, by reason of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
subdivision, split-up, combination of Ordinary Shares or other transaction
having similar effect, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion
of
a Debenture in the aggregate and the conversion price shall be correspondingly
adjusted to give the Holder of the Debenture, on exercise for the same aggregate
exercise price, the total number of Ordinary Shares as the Holder would have
owned had the Debenture been converted prior to the event requiring adjustment
and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after such
event.
(2) Effectiveness
of Adjustment.
(i) Splits,
subdivisions, combinations and other similar transactions. Any
such adjustment resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision,
split-up or combination of Ordinary Shares shall become effective at the opening
of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes
effective.
(ii) Dividends. Any
such adjustment resulting from a stock dividend shall become effective
immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date
for such dividend. If any such dividend described in Section
5.4(a)(i) is declared but not made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted
to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend had
not
been declared.
(b) Spin
Offs. If, for any reason, prior to the conversion of the
Debentures in full, the Issuer spins off or otherwise divests itself of a part
of its business or operations or disposes all or a part of its assets (the
“Spin Off”), in each case in a transaction in which the Issuer does not
receive compensation for such business, operations or assets, but causes
securities of another entity (the “Spin Off Securities”) to be issued to
its security holders, then the exercise price of the Outstanding Debentures
shall be adjusted immediately after consummation of the Spin Off by multiplying
the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the Spin Off by a fraction
(if, but only if, such fraction is less than 1.0), the numerator of which is
the
average closing bid price of the ADSs for the five Trading Days immediately
following the fifth Trading Day after the record date (the “Record Date”)
for determining the amount and number of Spin Off Securities to be issued to
the
Issuer’s security holders, and the denominator of which is the average closing
bid price of the ADSs for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the Record
Date; and such adjusted conversion price shall be deemed to be the exercise
price with respect to the Outstanding Debentures after the consummation of
the
Spin Off.
-16-
(c) Down-rounds.
(1) If,
at
any time prior to December 6, 2009, the Issuer issues shares, securities
convertible into ADSs or shares, warrants to purchase ADSs or shares or options
to purchase any of the foregoing to a third party (other than (i) pursuant
to
the Issuer’s stock option plans or upon conversion or exercise of securities
exercisable, exchangeable or convertible into ADSs or shares and (ii) in
connection with the acquisition by the Issuer of Ester Neurosciences Ltd.,
an
Israeli company, pursuant to the definitive agreement relating thereto, and
related fees) at a price that is less than, or converts at a price that is
less
than, $0.366 (such lesser price, the “Down-round Price”), then the
conversion price shall be adjusted to equal 130% of the Down-round
Price.
(2) If
the
Issuer gives notice to the Holders of its intention to issue a notice of
optional redemption for Debentures pursuant to Section 4.2, then the conversion
rate and conversion price adjustments described in Section 5.4(a) shall be
suspended with respect to those Debentures called for redemption during the
90-day period beginning upon the effectiveness of such notice.
(3) Any
adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) shall become effective immediately
after consummation of the issuance giving rise to such adjustment.
(d) The
Debentures need not be exchanged because of any adjustment pursuant to this
Section 5.4 in the Conversion Rate and/or number of ADSs subject to each
Debenture.
Section
5.5 Notice
of Adjustments of Conversion Rate.
Whenever
the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Issuer shall promptly
file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in
reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is
based. Promptly after delivery of such Officers’ Certificate, the
Issuer shall prepare a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been
adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which
each adjustment becomes effective, and shall mail such notice to each Holder
at
the address of such Holder as it appears in the register of the Debentures
within 20 days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to
deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such
adjustment.
Section
5.6 Issuer
to Reserve Ordinary Shares.
The
Issuer shall at all times use its best efforts to reserve and keep available,
free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares,
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Debentures, the full number
of
shares of fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares then issuable upon the
conversion of all Outstanding Debentures.
-17-
Section
5.7 Covenant
as to Ordinary Shares.
The
Issuer covenants that all Ordinary Shares which may be issued upon conversion
of
Debentures will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable and rank pari passu
with Ordinary Shares then outstanding and, except as provided in Section 5.10,
the Issuer will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue
thereof.
Section
5.8 Issuer’s
Covenant Regarding the Delivery of ADSs.
(a) Upon
receipt by the Issuer of a Conversion Notice, the Issuer covenants that it
will
deposit or cause to be deposited Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of
the
Debentures with the Depositary in accordance with the terms of the Deposit
Agreement and will comply with the applicable terms of the Deposit Agreement
so
as to enable the issuance and delivery of the ADSs representing such Ordinary
Shares by the Depositary on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders as required
by
the Indenture and the Deposit Agreement.
(b) The
Issuer covenants that it will perform all acts necessary in order to ensure
that
ADSs representing Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures
are
delivered to the Holders entitled thereto.
Section
5.9 Distribution
of Ordinary Shares Instead of ADSs.
(a) In
the
event that Ordinary Shares cease to be represented by ADSs issued under a
depositary receipt program sponsored by the Issuer, or the ADSs cease to be
quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market (and are not at that time listed on another
United States national securities exchange), all references herein to ADSs
will
be deemed to have been replaced by a reference to:
(i) the
number of Ordinary Shares corresponding to the ADSs on the last day on which
the
ADSs were quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market; and
(ii) as
adjusted, pursuant to the adjustment provisions contained in this
Article 5, for any other property the ADSs represented as if the other
property has been distributed to holders of ADSs on that day.
Section
5.10 Taxes
on Conversions.
The
purchase price paid by the Holder on the date hereof for the unit of which
the
Debenture is a part includes costs of issuance such as all transfer agent fees,
stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery
of
the Debentures to such Holder on the date hereof. A Holder delivering
a Debenture 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 to another Person
involved in the issue and delivery of ADSs, and no such issue or delivery shall
be made unless the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Issuer the
amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the
Issuer that such tax or duty has been paid.
-18-
Section
5.11 Cancellation
of Converted Debentures.
All
Debentures delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee to be
canceled by the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section
2.10 of the Base Indenture.
Section
5.12 Obligations
of the Conversion Agent.
(a) Prior
to
Maturity, the Conversion Agent shall:
(i) accept
deposit, during its normal business hours at its specified office on behalf
of
the Issuer of any Conversion Notice, subject to such changes therein as may
from
time to time be agreed by the Issuer, the Conversion Agent and the Trustee,
together with the relevant Debenture(s);
(ii) obtain
a
certification from the converting Debenture Holder (which may be included in
the
Conversion Notice) to pay to the applicable taxing authority all stamp, issue,
registration or similar taxes or duties or transfer costs (if any) arising
in
connection with the conversion of a Debenture and the issue, transfer, or
delivery of ADSs or any other securities, property or cash to another Person;
and
(iii) accept,
to the extent applicable, any interest payment a Holder seeking to convert
Debentures between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date is,
pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Supplemental Indenture required to pay to the
Issuer (“Interest Refund”).
(b) The
Conversion Agent, promptly upon receipt of a completed Conversion Notice in
proper form and the related Debentures, shall:
(i) verify
that the Debentures are eligible for conversion and that the Conversion Notice
has been duly completed and signed in accordance with its terms. The
Conversion Agent may reject any incomplete or incorrect Conversion
Notice. All costs and expenses incurred or caused by an incomplete or
incorrect Conversion Notice shall be for the account of the relevant Holder
of
Debentures. The Conversion Agent shall to the extent possible
promptly notify such Debenture Holder of any such incompleteness or
incorrectness.
(ii) inform
the Issuer and the Trustee, as soon as practicable, but in no event
later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately following
the
relevant Conversion Date, by means of a tested facsimile, telex, telecopy or
cable (each, an “Agent Conversion Notice”) (together with a copy of the
Conversion Notice) of:
(A)
the principal amount of Debentures to be converted into ADSs and, if relevant,
the total number and identifying numbers of all Debenture certificates, if
any,
so deposited;
(B) the
name and address of the Person in whose name the ADSs deliverable upon
conversion are to be registered;
-19-
(C) the
date of conversion in respect of such conversion;

thereof) of Debentures, the Conversion Agent receiving the Conversion Notice
may, and, if requested by the Debenture Holder depositing the Conversion Notice,
shall, treat each specified nominal amount of Debentures as if it were subject
to its own Conversion Notice and prepare and send the details referred to in
this section separately for each such specified nominal amount (and, for the
avoidance of doubt, so they are not aggregated for the purpose of calculating
the number of ADSs or amount of other securities, property or cash deliverable

the Issuer has (x) directed the Depositary to issue and deliver the requested
number of ADSs to the Person designated in such Conversion Notice and to
register the converting Debenture Holder or other Person nominated in the
Conversion Notice as the owner of the ADSs representing the Ordinary Shares
relating thereto and (y) delivered, dispatched or paid such other securities,
property or cash required to be delivered and/or paid upon conversion as may

(d) Promptly
upon request from time to time, the Issuer will provide the Conversion Agent
with copies of the form of Conversion Notice and the Issuer shall, whenever
the
Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.4 of this Supplemental
Indenture, as soon as practicable notify in writing each of the Trustee, the
Conversion Agents particulars of the event giving rise to the adjustment, the
Conversion Price after such adjustment, the date on which such adjustment takes

(e) Each
Conversion Notice and Agent Conversion Notice and each other telex, cable or
facsimile sent and letter delivered in respect of a Conversion Notice pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.12(e) by any Conversion Agent
shall indicate the identification code designated below for that Conversion
Agent, followed by the words “Amarin CB Due 2010” and shall bear the lowest
number previously unused by that Conversion Agent in the sequence of numerals
relating to the number of Conversion Notices deposited, starting from one and
continuing in uninterrupted ascending sequence, for
identification. All confirmatory or subsequent communications sent
hereunder with regard to the conversion, receipt, delivery and/or payment of
ADSs and/or any other securities, property and cash relating to such Conversion
Notice shall bear the same identifying serial number as well as the
identification code of the relevant Conversion Agent.
The
identification codes of the Conversion Agent shall be as follows:
Citibank,
N.A., London: CITILON
Thus,
by
way of example, the reference to be used for the seventh Conversion Notice
deposited with Citibank, N.A., London, and for each telex and letter relating
thereto would be “CITILON/ AMARIN CB Due 2010/0007”.
Section
5.13 Responsibility
of Trustee and Conversion Agent for Conversion Provisions.
The
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture, and

require any adjustment of the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature
or
intent of any such adjustments when made, or with respect to the method
employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed,
in
making the same or with respect to the accuracy of any calculation made by
the
Issuer in respect thereof. Neither the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture, nor any Conversion Agent
shall
be accountable with respect to the validity or value (of the kind or amount)
of

to
make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of stock
or
share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any
Debenture for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture, and any Conversion Agent
shall
not be responsible for making any calculations hereunder or be responsible
or
liable for any failure of the Issuer to comply with any of the covenants of

Convertible Debentures due 2010
Capitalized
terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them
in
the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. Principal
and Interest.
Amarin
Corporation plc, a public limited company registered in England and Wales (the
“Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Debenture at the Interest Rate from December 6, 2007 until the principal thereof
is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be payable in arrears
on
March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (each an
“Interest Payment Date”), commencing March 31, 2008.
Interest
on the Debentures shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.
A
Holder
of any Debenture at the close of business on a Regular Record Date shall be
entitled to receive interest on such Debenture on the corresponding Interest
Payment Date. A Holder of any Debenture which is converted after the close
of
business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the corresponding Interest
Payment Date (other than any Debenture whose Maturity is prior to such Interest
Payment Date) shall be entitled to receive interest on the principal amount
of
such Debenture, notwithstanding the conversion of such Debenture prior to such
Interest Payment Date. However, any such Holder which surrenders any such
Debenture for conversion during the period between the close of business on
such
Regular Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the corresponding
Interest Payment Date shall be required to pay the Issuer an amount equal to
the
interest on the principal amount of such Debenture so converted, which is
payable by the Issuer to such Holder on such Interest Payment Date, at the
time
such Holder surrenders such Debenture for conversion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any such Holder which surrenders for conversion any Debenture which
has been called for redemption by the Issuer in a notice of redemption given
by
the Issuer pursuant to Article 4 of the Supplemental Indenture shall be entitled
to receive (and retain) such accrued interest to the Redemption Date and need
not pay the Issuer an amount equal to the interest on the principal amount
of
such Debenture so converted at the time such Holder surrenders such Debenture
for conversion.
2. Method
of Payment.
Interest
on any Debenture which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided
for,
on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that
Debenture (or one or more Predecessor Debentures) is registered at the close
of
business on the relevant Regular Record Date for such interest.
Principal
of and interest on Global Debentures shall be payable to the Depositary in
immediately available funds.
A-4
Principal
of Physical Debentures will be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer
maintained for such purpose, initially the office of the Paying Agent identified
in the definition “Paying Agent.” Interest on Physical Debentures
will be payable by (i) U.S. Dollar check drawn on a bank in The City of New
York
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the register of the Debentures, or (ii) upon application to the
Registrar not later than the relevant Record Date by a Holder of an aggregate
principal amount of Debentures in excess of $250,000, wire transfer in
immediately available funds, which application shall remain in effect until
the
Holder notifies, in writing, the Registrar to the contrary.
3. Paying
Agent and Registrar.

Citibank, N.A. will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change
the
Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.
4. Supplemental
Indenture and Indenture.
The
Issuer issued this Debenture under a Supplemental Indenture and a Base
Indenture, each dated as of December 6, 2007 (respectively, the “Supplemental
Indenture” and the “Base Indenture” and together, the
“Indenture”), among the Issuer and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee
(the “Trustee”). The terms of the Debenture include those
stated in the Indenture, and those made part of the Indenture by reference
to
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (“TIA”). This
Debenture is subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the
Indenture and the TIA for a statement of all such terms. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between
the terms of this Debenture and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the
Indenture shall control.
5. Redemption.
Mandatory
Redemption
Financing
Redemption. So long as any Debentures remain Outstanding, upon
completion of any equity or debt financing by the Issuer for cash (other than
an
Exempt Issuance), the Issuer will be required to use the net proceeds of such
financing to redeem for cash all Outstanding Debentures at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon up to but not including the Redemption Date.
Redemption
Upon a Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs, the
Issuer will be required to redeem for cash all Outstanding Debentures at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued
and unpaid interest thereon up to but not including the Redemption
Date.
Optional
Redemption
At
any
time and from time to time before April 6, 2008, the Issuer may, at its option,
redeem the Debentures in whole at any time or in part, upon notice as set forth
in Section 5.3, at the Redemption Price.
A-5
6. Conversion
Rights.
Subject
to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Supplemental Indenture, at
the
option of the Holder thereof, any Debenture or any portion of the principal
amount thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000.00 may be converted
at
any time at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into
duly
authorized, fully paid and nonassessable ADSs of the Issuer, at the Conversion
Rate in effect at the time of conversion.
Such
conversion right shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding December 6, 2010.
In
case a
Debenture or a portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right
in respect of the Debenture or the portion so called, shall expire at the close
of business on the second Business Day preceding the Redemption Date, unless
the
Issuer defaults in making the payment due upon redemption.
The
Conversion Rate initially shall be equal to approximately 2,083.33 ADSs per
$1,000.00 principal amount of Debentures. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted
in certain circumstances as provided in the Supplemental Indenture.
To
exercise the conversion right, the Holder of any Debenture to be converted
shall
surrender such Debenture duly endorsed or assigned to the Issuer or in blank,
at
the office of any Conversion Agent, accompanied by a duly signed Conversion
Notice.
Debentures
surrendered for conversion 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 (except in the case of any Debenture whose Maturity is prior to
such Interest Payment Date) shall be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing
House funds or other funds acceptable to the Issuer of an amount equal to the
interest to be received on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount
of
Debentures being surrendered for conversion.
No
fractional ADSs will be issued upon conversion of any Debenture or Debentures.
Instead of any fractional ADS that would otherwise be issued upon conversion
of
such Debenture or Debentures (or specified portions thereof), the Issuer shall
pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest
one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Trading
Price of the ADSs as of the Trading Day preceding the date of
conversion.
The
Issuer will deliver the settlement amount to converting Holders on the third
Business Day immediately following the last day of the applicable Settlement
Period.
7. Denominations;
Transfer; Exchange.
The
Debentures are issuable in registered form, without coupons, in denominations
of
$1,000.00 or integral multiples thereof. A Holder may register the transfer
or
exchange of Debentures in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer or the
Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents, and the Issuer may require a Holder to
pay
any taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with
any exchange or registration of transfer of Debentures.
A-6
The
Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any
Debenture for a period of 15 days next preceding the first mailing of notice
of
redemption of Debentures to be redeemed, or (b) any Debentures selected, called
or being called for redemption except, in the case of any Debenture where notice
has been given that such Debenture is to be redeemed in part, the portion
thereof not so to be redeemed.
In
the
event of redemption, conversion or repurchase of the Debentures in part only,
a
new Debenture or Debentures for the unredeemed, unconverted or unrepurchased
portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof.
8. Holders
to be Treated as Owners.
The
physical holder or the registered Holder of this Debenture, as the case may
be,
shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.
9. Unclaimed
Money.
Any
moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment
of the principal of or interest on any Debenture and not applied but remaining
unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such principal or interest
shall have become due and payable, shall, upon the written request of the Issuer
and unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat
or
abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Issuer by the Trustee
or
such Paying Agent, and the Holder of the Debenture shall, unless otherwise
required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed
property laws, thereafter look only to the Issuer for any payment which such
Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or any
Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease.
10. Satisfaction
and Discharge.
The
Issuer may satisfy and discharge its obligations under the Indenture while
the
Debentures remain Outstanding, if (a) all Outstanding Debentures have become
due
and payable at their scheduled Maturity, or (b) all Outstanding Debentures
