Issue, Description, Execution, Registration And Exchange Of Notes

Section 2.01. Designation Amount and Issue of Notes. The Notes shall be designated as "3.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024". Notes not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000, or up to $175,000,000 if the Initial Purchasers' option to purchase additional notes is exercised, (except pursuant to Sections 2.05, 2.06 and 15.02 hereof) upon the execution of this Indenture, or from time to time thereafter, may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Notes to or upon the written order of the Company, signed by an Officer, without any further action by the Company hereunder.

Section 2.02. Form of Notes. The Notes and the Trustee's certificate of authentication to be borne by such Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required by the Custodian, the Depositary or by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. in order for the Notes to be tradable on The Portal Market or as may be required for the Notes to be tradable on any other market developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, or otherwise contemplated by Section 2.05(a), all of the Notes will be represented by one or more Notes in global form registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary (a "Global Note"). The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Note shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Except as provided in Section 2.05(a), beneficial holders of a Global Note shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered holders of such Global Note.

Any Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect redemptions, repurchases, conversions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the holder of such Notes in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal of and Interest on any Global Note shall be made to the holder of such Note; provided, however, that in respect of Notes submitted for conversion during a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), payment for Additional Interest shall be made as specified in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 2.03. Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest. The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Note Register at the close of business on the Regular Record Date with respect to an Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the Interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, except that the Interest payable upon redemption or repurchase will be payable to the Person to whom principal is payable pursuant to such redemption or repurchase (unless the Redemption Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, is an Interest Payment Date, in which case the semi-annual payment of interest becoming due on such date shall be payable to the holders of such Notes registered as such on the applicable Regular Record Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note (or portion thereof) is converted into Common Stock during the period after a Regular Record Date to, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date and such Note (or portion thereof) has been called or tendered for redemption on a Redemption Date which occurs during such period, the Company shall not be required to pay Interest on such Interest Payment Date in respect of any such Note (or portion thereof), except as provided in Section 15.02. Interest shall be payable at the office of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Company shall pay Interest (i) on any Notes in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Note Register (or upon written notice received from the registered holder thereof prior to the relevant Regular Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, if such Person is entitled to Interest on Notes with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $10,000,000) or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

Any Interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any May 1 or November 1 (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Noteholder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of his having been such Noteholder, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a "Special Record Date" for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be the date fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest that shall be not more than 15 days and not less than ten days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than ten days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each holder at his address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of

business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2) of this Section 2.03.

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.04. Execution of Notes. The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of an Officer. Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, manually executed by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 18.12), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

In case any Officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company, and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper Officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.

Section 2.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer. (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 5.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Note Register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonably prompt period of time. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars in accordance with Section 5.02.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the 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.

All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company or the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made to any holder for any registration of, transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment by the holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.

Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Notes for a period of 15 days next preceding any selection of Notes to be redeemed, (b) any Notes or portions thereof called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.01 (c) any Notes or portions thereof surrendered for conversion pursuant to Article 15, (d) any Notes or portions thereof tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) pursuant to Section 3.05 or (e) any Notes or portions thereof tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) pursuant to Section 3.06.

(b) The following provisions shall apply only to Global Notes:

(i) Each Global Note authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or Custodian therefor, and each such Global Note shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of this Indenture.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (A) the Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, a successor depositary has not been appointed by the Company within ninety days, (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee requests that any or all of the Notes be represented by registered Notes or (C) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in writing that it no longer wishes to have all the Notes represented by Global Notes. Any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part and any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (C) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Company. Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be a Global Note; provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note.

(iii) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Note or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any Global Notes to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Note Registrar. With regard to any Global Note to be exchanged in part, either such Global Note shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as Custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Note, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for

delivery the Note issuable on such exchange to or upon the written order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(iv) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (ii) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(v) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent Members") nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial holder of any Note.

(vi) At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been redeemed, repurchased, converted, canceled or exchanged for Notes in certificated form, such Global Note shall, upon receipt thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is redeemed, repurchased, converted, canceled or exchanged for Notes in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

(c) Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(c) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (together with any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes and required to bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(d), collectively, the "Restricted Securities") shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (including those set forth in the legend below) unless such restrictions on transfer shall be waived by written consent of the Company, and the holder of each such Restricted Security, by such holder's acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in Section 2.05(c) and 2.05(d), the term "transfer" encompasses any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security or any interest therein.

Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), any certificate evidencing such Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion thereof, which shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(d), if applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless such Note has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar provision then in force, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee:

PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT ("RULE 144A")); (2) AGREES ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ANY INVESTOR ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT HAS PURCHASED SECURITIES, TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY OR ANY COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF SUCH SECURITY, PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES OF THIS SECURITY UNDER RULE 144(k) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION), ONLY (A) TO XXXXXX INDUSTRIES, INC. (THE "ISSUER") OR A SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (AND WHICH CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER), (C) FOR SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (D) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION (IF AVAILABLE) OR (E) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE ISSUER'S AND THE TRUSTEE'S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (E) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM; AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 2(B) OR 2(D) ABOVE.

THE COMPANY AGREES, AND BY ACCEPTANCE OF A BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN THE NOTES EACH HOLDER AND EACH BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE NOTES WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED, FOR UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES (1) TO TREAT THE NOTES AS INDEBTEDNESS THAT IS SUBJECT TO TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.1275-4 (THE "CONTINGENT DEBT REGULATIONS") AND, FOR PURPOSES OF THE CONTINGENT DEBT REGULATIONS, TO TREAT THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF ANY STOCK BENEFICIALLY RECEIVED UPON ANY CONVERSION OF THE NOTES AS A CONTINGENT PAYMENT, (2) TO ACCRUE INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE NOTES AS ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT ON A CONSTANT YIELD BASIS USING THE COMPARABLE YIELD OF 7.75% PER ANNUM COMPOUNDED SEMI-ANNUALLY AND (3) TO BE BOUND BY THE "COMPARABLE YIELD" AND THE "PROJECTED PAYMENT SCHEDULE" WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE CONTINGENT DEBT REGULATIONS, AS DETERMINED BY THE COMPANY. A HOLDER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER MAY OBTAIN THE ISSUE PRICE, AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT, ISSUE DATE, YIELD TO MATURITY, COMPARABLE YIELD AND PROJECTED PAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR THE NOTES BY SUBMITTING A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR SUCH INFORMATION TO THE COMPANY AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: XXXXXX INDUSTRIES, INC., 0000 X. XXX XXXXX XXXX., XXXXX, XXXXXXX 00000, ATTENTION: CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY IS ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF APRIL 20, 2004 AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY AND TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT.

Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to conditions for removal of the foregoing legend have been satisfied may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Note Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(c). If the Restricted Security surrendered for exchange is represented by a Global Note bearing the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(c), the principal amount of the legended Global Note shall be reduced by the appropriate principal amount and the principal amount of a Global Note without the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(c) shall be increased by an equal principal amount. If a Global Note without the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(c) is not then outstanding, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver an unlegended Global Note to the Depositary.

(d) Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless such Common Stock has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar provision then in force, or such Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of Notes that have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar provision then in force, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing with written notice thereof to the transfer agent:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT ("RULE 144A")); (2) AGREES ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ANY INVESTOR ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT HAS PURCHASED SECURITIES, TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY, PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES OF THIS SECURITY UNDER RULE 144(k) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION), ONLY (A) TO XXXXXX INDUSTRIES, INC. (THE "ISSUER") OR A SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (AND WHICH CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER), (C) FOR SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (D) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION (IF AVAILABLE) OR (E) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE ISSUER'S AND THE TRUSTEE'S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (E) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY

TO EACH OF THEM; AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 2(B) OR 2(D) ABOVE.

Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for removal of the foregoing legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(d).

(e) Any Note or Common Stock issued upon the conversion of a Note that, prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), is purchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the Company or such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction which results in such Notes or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being "restricted securities" (as defined under Rule 144).

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial holders 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.

The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

Section 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, a new Note, of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case, the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Following receipt by the Trustee or such authenticating agent, as the case may be, of satisfactory security or indemnity and evidence, as described in the preceding paragraph, the Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and make available for delivery such Note. Upon the issuance of any substituted Note, the Company may require the payment by the holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Note which has matured or is

about to mature or has been called for redemption or has been tendered for repurchase upon a Fundamental Change (and not withdrawn) or has been surrendered for repurchase on a Repurchase Date (and not withdrawn) or is to be converted into Common Stock shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or in connection with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion or redemption or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion or redemption or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.07. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Notes in certificated form, the Company may execute and the Trustee or any authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Notes in certificated form, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Notes in certificated form. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Notes in certificated form and thereupon any or all temporary Notes may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes in certificated form. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Notes in certificated form authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08. Cancellation of Notes. Subject to Sections 3.05(d) and 3.06(d), all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, repurchase, conversion, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent or any Note Registrar or any Conversion Agent, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it, and no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption, repurchase or satisfaction of the

indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.09. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders; 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 and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers.

ARTICLE 3
Redemption And Repurchase Of Notes

Section 3.01. Company's Right to Redeem. Prior to May 6, 2011, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company's option. At any time on or after May 6, 2011 and prior to Stated Maturity, the Company, at its option, may redeem the Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02, Section 3.03 and Section 3.04 on the Redemption Date for cash, in whole or in part, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) (the "Redemption Price") set forth below, together, in each case, with any accrued and unpaid Interest on the Notes redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date:

Year	Percentages
On May 6, 2011 through May 1, 2012	101.125	%
On May 1, 2012 through May 1, 2013	100.750	%
On May 1, 2013 through May 1, 2014	100.375	%
On May 1, 2014 and thereafter	100.000	%

Section 3.02. Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes

(a) In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (the "Redemption Date") and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than 45 days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the Redemption Date, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such redemption (a "Redemption Notice") not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each holder of Notes so to be redeemed as a whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the Note Register; provided that if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Concurrently with the mailing of any such Redemption Notice, the Company shall issue a press release announcing such redemption, the form and content of which press release shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The failure to issue any such press release or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the Redemption Notice or any of the proceedings for the redemption of any Note called for redemption.

(b) Each such Redemption Notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the CUSIP number or numbers of the Notes being redeemed, the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day), the Redemption Price at which Notes are to be redeemed, the place or places

of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, that Interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date Interest thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. Such notice shall also state the current Conversion Rate and the date on which the right to convert such Notes or portions thereof into Common Stock will expire (which date shall not be later than the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date). If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Redemption Notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any), in each case determined in accordance with the procedure set forth in clause (d) hereof. In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the Redemption Notice shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee).

(c) On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice given as provided in this Section 3.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.04 an amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for redemption (other than those theretofore surrendered for conversion into Common Stock) at the appropriate Redemption Price; provided that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date it must be received by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02(c) in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price and any accrued interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Subject to the last sentence of Section 8.05, if any Note called for redemption is converted pursuant hereto prior to such Redemption Date, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Note shall be paid to the Company upon its written request, or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. Whenever any Notes are to be redeemed, the Company will give the Trustee written notice in the form of an Officers' Certificate not fewer than 45 days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed.

(d) If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Note or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. If any Note selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of such Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be from the portion first selected for redemption. The Notes (or portions thereof) so selected shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof, notwithstanding that any such Note is submitted for conversion in part before the mailing of the Redemption Notice.

Upon any redemption of less than all of the outstanding Notes, the Company and the Trustee may (but need not), solely for purposes of determining the pro rata allocation among such Notes as are unconverted and outstanding at the time of redemption, treat as outstanding any Notes surrendered for conversion during the period of 15 days next preceding the mailing of a Redemption Notice and may (but need not) treat as outstanding any Note authenticated and delivered during such period in exchange for the unconverted portion of any Note converted in part during such period.

Section 3.03. Payment of Notes Called for Redemption by the Company. If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has been given shall, unless converted into Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the

applicable Redemption Price, and on and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price) Interest on the Notes or portion of Notes so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and, after the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price) such Notes shall cease to be convertible into Common Stock and, except as provided in Section 8.05, to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price; provided that if the applicable Redemption Date is an Interest Payment Date, the Interest payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the holders of record of such Notes on the applicable record date instead of the holders surrendering such Notes for redemption on such date.

Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Notes so presented.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not redeem any Notes or mail any Redemption Notice during the continuance of a default in payment of Interest on the Notes. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, continue to bear interest at the rate borne by the Note, compounded semi-annually, and such Note shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the principal and Interest shall have been paid or duly provided for.

Section 3.04. Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption. In connection with any redemption of Notes, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Notes by an agreement with one or more investment banks or other purchasers to purchase such Notes by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Noteholders, on or before the Redemption Date, an amount not less than the applicable Redemption Price of such Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 3, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of such Notes shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, a copy of which will be filed with the Trustee prior to the Redemption Date, any Notes not duly surrendered for conversion by the holders thereof may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such holders and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 15) surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date (and the right to convert any such Notes shall be extended through such time), subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. At the written direction of the Company, the Trustee shall hold and dispose of any such amount paid to it in the same manner as it would monies deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Notes. Without the Trustee's prior written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Notes shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee as set forth in this Indenture.

Section 3.05. Repurchase of Notes by the Company at Option of Holders upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) Subject to Section 3.07(f), if a Fundamental Change shall occur at any time prior to Stated Maturity, each holder shall have the right, at such holder's option, to require the Company to repurchase in cash all of such holder's Notes, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, on the date specified in Fundamental Change Offer, which date shall be no more

than 30 days after the date of the Fundamental Change Offer (subject to extension to comply with applicable law) (the "Fundamental Change Repurchase Date"). The Company shall repurchase such Notes at a price (the "Fundamental Change Repurchase Price") equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid Interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; provided that if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls on an Interest Payment Date, then the Interest payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the holders of record of the Notes on the applicable record date instead of the holders surrendering the Notes for repurchase on such date.

(b) On or before the 15th day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company, or at its written request the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company (which request must be received by the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the date the Trustee is requested to give notice as described below, unless the Trustee shall agree to a shorter period), shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, to all holders of record on such date a notice (the "Fundamental Change Offer") of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the holders arising as a result thereof to each holder of Notes at its last address as the same appears on the Note Register; provided that if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the Fundamental Change to the Trustee and the Paying Agent at such time as it is mailed to Noteholders. Such notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. Each Fundamental Change Offer shall state:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change and the date of the Fundamental Change;

(ii) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(iii) the last date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase right;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, excluding any accrued and unpaid Interest, the applicable Conversion Rate at the time of such notice (and any applicable adjustments to the Conversion Rate) and, to the extent known at the time of such notice, the amount of Interest that will be payable with respect to the Notes on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

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

(vi) briefly, the conversion rights of the Notes and whether, at the time of such notice, the Notes are eligible for conversion;

(vii) that Notes as to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Election has been given by the holder may be converted only if the election has been withdrawn by the holder in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that the Notes are otherwise convertible in accordance with Section 15.01;

(viii) a description of the procedures which a Noteholder must follow to exercise such repurchase right or to withdraw any surrendered Notes;

(ix) that the holder shall have the right to withdraw any Notes surrendered prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or any such later time as may be required by applicable law); and

(x) the CUSIP number or numbers of the Notes (subject to Section 2.09 and if then generally in use).

(i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a holder of a duly completed notice (a "Fundamental Change Repurchase Election") in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date stating:

(A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of the Notes which the holder shall deliver to be repurchased;

(B) if not certificated, such information as is required by the Depositary's procedures;

(C) the portion of the principal amount of the Notes that the holder shall deliver to be repurchased, which portion must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and

(D) that such Notes shall be repurchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Notes and in the Indenture.

(ii) physical delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) simultaneously with or at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Election (together with all necessary endorsements) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in the Borough of Manhattan, such delivery or transfer being a condition to receipt by the holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.05 only if the Notes so delivered or transferred to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Election. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Note for repurchase shall be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error.

(d) The Company may arrange for a third party to purchase any Notes for which it receives a valid Fundamental Change Repurchase Election that is not withdrawn, in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 3.05. If a third party purchases any Notes under these circumstances, then Interest will continue to accrue on such Notes and such Notes shall continue to be outstanding after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. If the Holder who has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Election fails to deliver the Notes to the third party on or before the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then the third party that intended to repurchase the Notes will be released from its obligations to do so and the Holder who delivered such Fundamental Change Repurchase Election but failed to deliver the Notes will have no further rights hereunder or under the Notes to require repurchase by the Company or by the third party with respect to that Fundamental Change Repurchase Election.

Section 3.06. Repurchase of Notes by the Company at Option of Holders on Specified Dates.

(a) Subject to Section 3.07(f), on each of May 1, 2014, and May 1, 2019 (each, a "Company Repurchase Date"), each holder shall have the right, at such holder's option, to require the Company to repurchase in cash all of such holder's Notes, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount. The Company shall repurchase such Notes at a price (the "Company Repurchase Price") equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid Interest to, but excluding, the Company Repurchase Date; provided that if such Company Repurchase Date falls on an Interest Payment Date, then the Interest payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the holders of record of the Notes on the applicable record date instead of the holders surrendering the Notes for repurchase on such date.

(b) On or before the 20th Business Day prior to each Company Repurchase Date, the Company, or at its written request the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company (which request must be received by the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the date the Trustee is requested to give notice as described below, unless the Trustee shall agree to a shorter period), shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, to all holders of record on such date a notice (the "Company Repurchase Notice") to each holder of Notes at its last address as the same appears on the Note Register; provided that if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent at such time as it is mailed to Noteholders. Such notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. Each Company Repurchase Notice shall state:

(i) the Company Repurchase Price (excluding any accrued and unpaid Interest), the applicable Conversion Rate at the time of such notice (and any applicable adjustments to the Conversion Rate) and, to the extent known at the time of such notice, the amount of Interest that will be payable with respect to the Notes on the Company Repurchase Date;

(vii) a description of the procedure which a Noteholder must follow to exercise such repurchase right or to withdraw any surrendered Notes;

(ix) the CUSIP number or numbers of the Notes (subject to Section 2.09 and if then generally in use).

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Noteholders' repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.06. Such notice will also be provided to beneficial holders of Notes to the extent required by applicable law.

(i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a holder of a duly completed notice (a "Company Repurchase Election") in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note at any time from the opening of business on the 20th Business Day immediately preceding the Company Repurchase Date until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Company Repurchase Date stating:

(c) Upon receipt by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) of a Repurchase Election, the holder of the Note in respect of which such Repurchase Election was given shall (unless such notice is validly withdrawn) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Repurchase Price with respect to such Note.

Notes in respect of which a Repurchase Election has been given by the holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 15 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Repurchase Election unless such notice has first been validly withdrawn.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any holder delivering to the office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) a Repurchase Election shall have the right to withdraw such election at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date (or any such later time as may be required by applicable law) by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) specifying:

(i): the principal amount of the Note with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted,

(iii): the principal amount, if any, of such Note which remains subject to the original Repurchase Election and which has been or will be delivered for repurchase by the Company.

The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Repurchase Election or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(e) The Company will comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act to the extent then applicable in connection with the repurchase rights of the holders of Notes in the event of a Fundamental Change or on any Company Repurchase Date. If then required by applicable law, the Company will file a Schedule TO or any other schedule required in connection with such repurchase.

(f) There shall be no repurchase of any Notes pursuant to Section 3.05 or Section 3.06 if there has occurred at any time prior to, and is continuing on, the Repurchase Date an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default that is cured by the payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective holders thereof any Notes (x) with respect to which a Repurchase Election has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes) in which case, upon such return, the Repurchase Election with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

(g) The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall return to the Company, upon its written request therefor, any cash that remains unclaimed as provided in Section 13.03, together with interest, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Repurchase Price; provided that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.08(b) exceeds the aggregate Repurchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Repurchase Date then, unless otherwise agreed in writing

with the Company, promptly after the Business Day following the Repurchase Date, the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest, if any, thereon.

This provision, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of Interest upon all Notes and the principal of any and all Notes which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of Interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) and on such principal at the rate borne by the Notes, to the date of such payment or deposit) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.06, and if any and all defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal of and accrued Interest on Notes which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 7.07, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults or Events of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. The Company shall notify in writing a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware thereof, of any Event of Default.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

Section 7.02. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. The Company covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of Interest upon any of the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of any of the Notes as and when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at maturity of the Notes or in connection with any redemption, repurchase, acceleration, declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Notes for principal or Interest, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of Interest at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.06. Until such demand by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and Interest on the Notes to the registered holders, whether or not the Notes are overdue.

In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any

actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor on the Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and Interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, 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 and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.06, and to take any other action with respect to such claims, including participating as a member of any official committee of creditors, as it reasonably deems necessary or advisable, and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders 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 Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including counsel fees and expenses incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings 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, monies, securities and other property which the holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.

Section 7.03. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.06;

SECOND: To holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to the extent required by Article 16 and, if applicable, to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent required by the Subsidiary Guarantor Supplemental Indenture;

FOURTH: In case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and Interest, with interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of Interest at the rate borne by the Notes, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal and Interest without preference or priority of principal over Interest, or of Interest over principal, or of any installment of Interest over any other installment of Interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest; and

FIFTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.

Section 7.04. Proceedings by Noteholder. No holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as it may reasonably require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Note with every other taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other holder of Notes, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Notes (except as otherwise provided herein) (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 7.04, each and every Noteholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any holder of any Note to receive payment of the principal of (including any Redemption Price or Repurchase Price pursuant to Article 3) and any accrued Interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such

payment on or after such respective dates against the Company, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.

Anything in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the holder of any Note, without the consent of either the Trustee or the holder of any other Note, in its own behalf and for its own benefit, may enforce, and may institute and maintain any proceeding suitable to enforce, its rights of conversion as provided herein.

Section 7.05. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 7.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 7 to the Trustee or to the Noteholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default or Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein, and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, every power and remedy given by this Article 7 or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders.

Section 7.07. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Noteholders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04 shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (b) the Trustee may take any other action which is not inconsistent with such direction and (c) the Trustee may decline to take any action that would benefit some Noteholders to the detriment of other Noteholders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04 may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of Interest on, or the principal of, the Notes, (ii) a failure by the Company to convert any Notes into Common Stock, cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock, (iii) a default in the payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to Section 3.03, (iv) a default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 3.05 or Company Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 3.06 or (v) a default in respect of a covenant or provisions hereof which under Article 11 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each or all Notes then outstanding or affected thereby. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 7.07, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.08. Notice of Defaults by the Trustee. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of the occurrence of a default, mail to all Noteholders, as the names and addresses of such holders appear upon the Note Register, notice of all defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided that except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or Interest on any of the Notes, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Noteholders. For the purpose of this Section 7.08, the term "default" means any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

Section 7.09. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, 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 Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 7.09 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or Interest on any Note on or after the due date expressed in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note in accordance with the provisions of Article 15.

Section 7.10. Creditor Rights. The Company's obligations hereunder are not intended to provide creditor rights in bankruptcy for amounts in excess of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid Interest on the Notes.

ARTICLE 8
The Trustee

Section 8.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), 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 their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred:

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same 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);

(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the written direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined as provided in Section 9.04 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;

(d) the Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment (as to the correctness of amount, entitlement to receive or any other matters relating to payment) or notice effected by the Company or any Paying Agent or any records maintained by any co-registrar with respect to the Notes; and

(e) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred.

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any default (as defined in Section 7.08) or Event of Default hereunder unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received at the Corporate Trust Office written notice of such default or Event of Default from the Company or the holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such notice refers to such default or Event of Default, the Notes and the Indenture.

None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Whether or not therein provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.01.

Section 8.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, Etc. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, note, note, coupon or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

(c) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

(d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

(e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document, but the Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

(f) 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 by it with due care hereunder;

(g) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

(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; and

(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.

Section 8.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, Etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes (except in the Trustee's certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company,

and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Notes or the proceeds of any Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 8.04. Trustee, Paying Agents, Conversion Agents or Registrar May Own Notes. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent or Note Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Note Registrar.

Section 8.05. Monies to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.03, all monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed in writing from time to time by the Company and the Trustee.

Section 8.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to from time to time in writing between the Company and the Trustee, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (or any officer, director or employee of the Trustee), in any capacity under this Indenture and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness or bad faith on the part of the Trustee or such officers, directors, employees and agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or in any other capacity hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any holder or any other Person) of liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this Section 8.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Notes upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Notes. The obligations of the Company under this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

When the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(h) or Section 7.01(i) with respect to the Company occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

Section 8.07. Officers' Certificate as Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee.

Section 8.08. Conflicting Interests of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

Section 8.09. Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or if such Person is a member of a bank holding company system, its bank holding company shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000). If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 8.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and to the holders of Notes. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment 60 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Noteholders, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or, if any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 8.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months; or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Noteholder; or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee; provided that if no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment 60 days after either the Company or the Noteholders has removed the Trustee, or the Trustee resigns, the Trustee so removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such

notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.11.

Section 8.11. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amount then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property and funds held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.11 unless, at the time of such acceptance, such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 8.08 and be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.09.

The Noteholders

Section 9.01. Action by Noteholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Noteholders in person or by agent, proxy appointed in writing, or, in the case of Global Notes, pursuant to the omnibus proxy of the Depositary, or (b) by the record of the holders of Notes voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Noteholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 10, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Noteholders. Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the holders of the Notes, the Company or the Trustee may fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining holders entitled to take such action. The record date shall he not more than 15 days prior to the date of commencement of the solicitation of such action.

Section 9.02. Proof of Execution by Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, 8.02 and 10.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Noteholder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the registry of such Notes or by a certificate of the Note Registrar.

The record of any Noteholders' meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 10.06.

Section 9.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name such Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and Interest on such Note, for conversion of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Note.

Section 9.04. Company-owned Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes which a Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 9.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, any other obligor on the

Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons, and, subject to Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers' Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 9.05. Revocation of Consents, Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 9.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Note which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 9.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, prior to the close of business on the Stated Maturity, the holder of any Note shall have the right, at such holder's option, to convert the principal amount of the Note, or any portion of such principal amount which is a multiple of $1,000, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as such shares shall then be constituted) at the Conversion Rate in effect at such time, by surrender of the Note so to be converted in whole or in part, together with any required funds, under the circumstances described in this Section 15.01 and in the manner provided in Section 15.02. The Company may elect to deliver, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of its Common Stock. The Notes shall be convertible only during the following periods upon the occurrence of one of the following events:

(i) during any fiscal quarter of the Company after the quarter ended June 30, 2004 (and only during such fiscal quarter) if the Last Reported Sale Price for the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the previous fiscal quarter equals or exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price on such last Trading Day;

(ii) during the five Business Day period immediately after any five consecutive Trading Day period in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each day of such five Business Day measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the applicable date and the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that the Notes shall not be convertible pursuant to this Section 15.01(a)(ii) after May 1, 2019 if on any Trading Day during such measurement period the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock was between 100% and 130% of the then current Conversion Price of the Notes.

(iii) in the event that the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date; provided that only those Notes that are called for redemption may be converted following such an event;

(iv) as provided in Section (b) of this Section 15.01; or

(v) during any period in which (1) the credit rating assigned to the Notes by either Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") or Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. ("Xxxxx'x") is three or more rating subcategories below B+ by S&P or B1 by Moody's, or (2) the notes are no longer rated by at least one of, or are suspended by both S&P and Moody's.

The Company or its designated agent shall determine on a daily basis during the time period specified in Section 15.01(a)(i) whether the Notes shall be convertible as a result of the occurrence of an event specified in clause (i) above and, if the Notes shall be so convertible, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company) written notice thereof. Whenever the Notes shall become convertible pursuant to this Section 15.01, the Company or, at the Company's request, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall notify the holders of the event triggering such convertibility in the manner provided in Section 18.03, and the Company shall also publicly announce such information by publication on the Company's Web site or through such other public medium as it may choose to use at such time. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice.

The Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price for purposes of Section 15.01(a)(ii) unless the Company has requested in writing such a determination; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a holder provides it with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. Such evidence shall be in writing and delivered by the holder to the Treasurer of the Company by fax or certified or express mail to the address or fax number specified in Section 18.03 hereof. Such request shall state that the holder has a reasonable belief that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate (which request shall also include the evidence with respect thereto) and shall state that the holder is requesting that the Company request the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company) to determine whether or not the Notes are convertible into Common Stock pursuant to Section 15.01(a)(ii) of this Indenture. If such notice and evidence is provided, the Company shall instruct the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent) in writing to determine the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until, and only until, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate.

The Trustee shall be entitled at its sole discretion to consult with the Company and to request the assistance of the Company in connection with the Trustee's duties and obligations pursuant to Section 15.01(a) hereof, and the Company agrees, if requested by the Trustee, to cooperate with, and provide assistance to, the Trustee in carrying out its duties under this Section 15.01; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to relieve the Trustee of its duties pursuant to Section 15.01(a) hereof.

(b) In addition, if:

(i) (A) the Company distributes to all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days of the date of the distribution) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of the distribution, or (B) the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock assets (including cash), debt securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value as determined by the Company's Board of Directors and set forth in a Board Resolution exceeding 5% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, then, in either case, the Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time on and after the date that the Company gives notice to the holders of such distribution, which shall be not less than 20 Business Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding, but not including, the Ex-Dividend Date or the date the Company publicly announces that such distribution will not take place; provided that no holder of a Note will have the ability to convert and no adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made if the holder will otherwise participate in such distribution without conversion; or

(ii) the Company consolidates with or merges with or into another Person or is a party to a binding share exchange or conveys, transfers, sells, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its properties and assets in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash), then the Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from and after the date 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction and ending on and including the date 15 days after the anticipated effective date of the transaction.

The Board of Directors shall determine the anticipated effective date of the transaction, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the holders and shall be publicly announced by the

Company by publication on its Web site or through such other public medium as it may choose to use at that time not later than two Business Days prior to such 15th day.

(c) A Note in respect of which a holder is electing to exercise its option to require repurchase upon a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 3.05 or repurchase pursuant to Section 3.06 may be converted only if such holder withdraws its election in accordance with Section 3.08(d). A holder of Notes is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such holder has converted his Notes to Common Stock, and only to the extent such Notes are deemed to have been converted to Common Stock under this Article 15.

Section 15.02. Exercise of Conversion Privilege; Issuance of Common Stock on Conversion; No Adjustment for Interest or Dividends; Settlement of Cash or Common Stock Upon Conversion. (a) In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Note in certificated form, the Company must receive at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose or, at the option of such holder, the Corporate Trust Office, such Note with the original or facsimile of the form entitled "Form of Conversion Notice" on the reverse thereof (the "Conversion Notice"), duly completed and manually signed, together with such Notes duly endorsed for transfer, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by Section 15.02(d). Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued, and shall be accompanied by the amount of any transfer or similar taxes which are payable in connection with such conversion, if required pursuant to Section 15.07. The Conversion Agent shall provide copies of the Form of Conversion Notice to holders of Notes upon request.

In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any interest in a Global Note, the beneficial holder must complete, or cause to be completed, the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary's book-entry conversion program, deliver, or cause to be delivered, by book-entry delivery an interest in such Global Note, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Trustee or Conversion Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by this Section 15.02 and any transfer taxes or similar taxes which are payable in connection with such conversion if required pursuant to Section 15.07.

(b) As promptly as practicable after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above, subject to compliance with any restrictions on transfer if shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in a name other than that of the Noteholder (as if such transfer were a transfer of the Note or Notes (or portion thereof) so converted), the Company shall issue and shall deliver to such Noteholder at the office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to Section 5.02, any certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Note or portion thereof as determined by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Article 15 and/or a check or cash in respect of (i) the portion, if any, of the Conversion Obligation that the Company has elected to satisfy in cash, calculated by the Company as provided in paragraph (g) below and (ii) any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion, calculated by the Company as provided in Section 15.03. In case any Note of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, and subject to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to him, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note.

(c) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Note (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in this Section 15.02 have been satisfied as to such Note (or portion thereof) (such date, the "Conversion Date"), and the Person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on said date the holder of record of the shares represented thereby; provided that any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the Person in whose name the certificates are to be issued as the record holder

thereof for all purposes on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date upon which such Note shall be surrendered.

(d) Except as provided in clause 15.02(e) below, upon the conversion of a Note, that portion of the accrued but unpaid Interest (excluding Additional Interest if, at the time of such conversion, there exists a Registration Default as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with respect to the converted Note shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the holder thereof through delivery of the Common Stock (or, to the extent the Company has elected to satisfy all or a portion of its conversion obligation with cash, such cash and the Common Stock), together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional shares, in exchange for the Note being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof; and the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock (together with any such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) shall be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for and in satisfaction of the Company's obligation to pay the principal amount of the converted Note and the accrued but unpaid Interest (excluding Additional Interest if, at the time of such conversion, there exists a Registration Default as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and the balance, if any, of such fair market value of such Common Stock (and any such cash payment) shall be treated as issued in exchange for and in satisfaction of the right to convert the Note being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.

(e) Notwithstanding the preceding clause, if a Note or portion thereof is surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the following Interest Payment Date, the Holder of such Note at the close of business on such Regular Record Date shall receive the Interest payable on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Such a Note, upon surrender for conversion, shall be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the Interest otherwise payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount being converted; provided that no such payment need be made (1) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date or a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and prior to the next Interest Payment Date or (2) to the extent of any overdue Interest, if any overdue Interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. Except as provided above in this Section 15.02, no payment or other adjustment shall be made for Interest accrued on any Note converted or for dividends on any shares issued upon the conversion of such Note as provided in this Article 15.

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

(g) In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice on or prior to (1) the date on which the Company gives a Redemption Notice or (2) the Final Notice Date, the following procedures shall apply:

(i) If the Company elects to satisfy all or any portion of its obligation to convert the notes (the "Conversion Obligation") in cash, the Company shall notify holders through the Trustee of the dollar amount to be satisfied in cash (which must be expressed either as 100% of the Conversion Obligation or as a fixed dollar amount) at any time on or before the date that is two Business Days following the Conversion Date (the "Cash Settlement Notice Period"). If the Company timely elects to pay cash for any portion the Common Stock otherwise issuable to holders upon conversion, holders may retract the Conversion Notice at any time during the two Business Days following the final day of the Cash Settlement Notice Period (the "Conversion Retraction Period"). No such retraction can be made (and a Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable) if the Company does not elect to deliver cash in lieu of Common Stock (other than

cash in lieu of fractional shares). Upon the expiration of a Conversion Retraction Period, a Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. If the Company elects to satisfy all or any portion of the Conversion Obligation in cash, and the applicable Conversion Notice has not been retracted, then settlement (in cash or in cash and Common Stock) will occur on the Business Day following the final day of the 20 day Trading Period beginning on the day after the final day of the Conversion Retraction Period (the "Cash Settlement Averaging Period").

(ii) If the Company does not elect to satisfy any part of the Conversion Obligation in cash (other than cash in lieu of any fractional shares), delivery of the Common Stock into which the Notes are converted (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares) shall occur through the Conversion Agent as described above as soon as practicable on or after the Conversion Date.

(h) Settlement amounts will be computed as follows:

(i) If the Company elects to satisfy the entire Conversion Obligation in Common Stock, it shall deliver to holders that have delivered the Conversion Notice giving rise to the Conversion Obligation a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted divided by 1,000, multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Rate. In addition, the Company shall pay cash for any fractional shares of Common Stock based on the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date.

(ii) If the Company elects to satisfy the entire Conversion Obligation in cash, it shall deliver to holders that have delivered the Conversion Notice giving rise to the Conversion Obligation cash in an amount equal to the product of:

(A) a number equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted divided by 1,000, multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Rate; and

(B) the average Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock during the Cash Settlement Averaging Period.

(iii) If the Company elects to satisfy a fixed portion (other than 100%) of the Conversion Obligation in cash, it will deliver to holders the specified cash amount (the "Cash Amount") and a number of Common Stock equal to the greater of (i) zero and (ii) the excess, if any, of the number of Common Stock calculated as if the Company elected to satisfy the entire Conversion Obligation in shares over the number of shares equal to the sum of the quotient, for each day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period, of (x) 5% of the Cash Amount, divided by (y) the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock. In addition, the Company shall pay cash for all fractional Common Stock based on the average Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock during the Cash Settlement Averaging Period.

(i) The Company must determine whether or not it will satisfy all or a portion of the Conversion Obligation in cash at the time it issues a Redemption Notice or a Final Maturity Notice and such notices will state the amount of the Conversion Obligation to be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice after the date a Redemption Notice or the Final Maturity Notice has been issued, settlement amounts will be computed and settlement dates will be determined in the same manner as set forth in clauses (g) and (h) of this Section 15.02 except that the Cash Settlement Averaging Period shall be the 20 Trading Day period beginning on the Trading Day after the Conversion Date. If a Conversion Notice is received from holders of Notes after the date that a Redemption Notice or the Final Maturity Notice has been issued, such holders may not retract their Conversion Notice. Settlement (in cash and/or Common Stock) will occur on the Business Day following the final day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may at any time permanently elect to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in shares of its Common Stock, cash or a specified combination of cash and shares of Common Stock.

(j) If the shares of Common Stock, cash or combination of shares of Common Stock and cash paid by the Company to a holder upon conversion of the Notes pursuant to this Article 15 are not

sufficient to allow the Company to comply with the United States federal withholding tax obligations imposed by the Code with respect to accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes payable to the beneficial owner of such Notes, the Company may, to the extent required by applicable law, recoup or set-off such liability against any amounts owed to such Holder, including, but not limited to, the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion to such beneficial owner or any actual cash dividends or distributions subsequently made with respect to such shares of Common Stock to such beneficial owner.

Section 15.03. Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip certificates representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share of stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Note or Notes, the Company shall make an adjustment and payment therefor in cash to the holder of Notes at the Last Reported Sale Price on the last Trading Day immediately preceding the day on which the Notes (or specified portions thereof) are deemed to have been converted.

Section 15.04. Conversion Rate. Each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes shall be convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the form of Note (herein called the "Conversion Rate") attached as Exhibit A hereto (initially 56.0303 shares), subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 15.

Section 15.05. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(a) In case the Company shall pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate, as in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution, shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution,

such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Business Day following the date fixed for such determination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 15.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) In case the Company shall (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan or share purchase plan) issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period expiring within 60 days after the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase at such below Current Market Price,

such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Business Day following the date fixed for such determination. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants had not been fixed.

In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or split into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or split becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision, split or combination becomes effective.

(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities or other property (but excluding any cash distributions referred to in Section 15.05(e), rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 15.05(b) and any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 15.05(a)), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock plus the then fair market value per share (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on the date fixed for such determination of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, or other property so to be distributed,

such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Business Day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution; provided, however, that in the event that the Company makes a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock consisting of capital stock of, or similar equity interest in, a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Spin-off Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the Spin-off Market Price per share or similar equity interest of the subsidiary or other business unit of the Company on such date and the denominator shall be the Spin-off Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective 10 Trading Days after the effective date of such distribution of capital stock of, or similar equity interest in, a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company. In any case in which this Section 15.05(d) is applicable, Sections 15.05(a), (b) and (e) shall not be applicable. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, make a distribution (the "Triggering Distribution") to all holders of its Common Stock payable exclusively in cash, and such cash distribution, together with all other cash distributions paid during the fiscal quarter in which such cash distribution is paid, exceeds $0.03 per share of Common Stock (the "Dividend Threshold Amount"), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination minus the Dividend Threshold Amount, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination minus the aggregate amount of cash per share of the Common Stock so distributed,

The Dividend Threshold Amount is subject to adjustment whenever an adjustment is made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to clauses (a) and (c) above, which adjustment shall be the inverse of the adjustment made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to such clause.

If any distribution of the type described in this Section 15.05(e) is declared but not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

(f) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or

exchange offer (as it may be amended) exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time,

such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the expiration time. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.

(g) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon an event to which Section 15.06 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and the "date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 15.05(d)), and (b) a subdivision, split or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision or split becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective," as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision, split or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of Section 15.05(c)).

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 15.05, no adjustment shall be made thereunder, nor shall an adjustment be made to the ability of a Holder of a Note to convert, for any distribution described therein if the Holder will otherwise participate in the distribution without conversion of such Holder's Notes.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to holders of record of the Notes a notice of the increase prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(i) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made:

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

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

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

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

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

No adjustment to the Conversion Rate or the ability of a Holder of a Note to convert will be made if the Holder will otherwise participate in the distribution without conversion. To the extent the Notes become convertible into cash, assets or property (other than capital stock of the Company or securities to which Section 15.06 applies), no adjustment shall be made thereafter as to the cash, assets or property. Interest shall not accrue on such cash, assets or property.

(j) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% in such rate; provided that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 15.05(j) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment or in connection with any conversion of the Notes following a Redemption Notice or at Stated Maturity, as applicable. All calculations under this Article 15 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (¹/10,000) of a share, as the case may be.

(k) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers' Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the holder of each Note at his last address appearing on the Note Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(l) In any case in which this Section 15.05 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after (1) a record date or Stock Record Date for an event, (2) the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive a dividend or distribution pursuant to Section 15.05(a), (3) a date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive rights or warrants pursuant to Section 15.05(b) or (4) the Expiration Time for any tender or exchange offer pursuant to Section 15.05(f), (each a "Determination Date"), the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the applicable Adjustment Event (as hereinafter defined) (x) issuing to the holder of any Note converted after such Determination Date and before the occurrence of such Adjustment Event, the additional shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such conversion by reason of

the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 15.03. For purposes of this Section 15.05(l), the term "Adjustment Event" shall mean:

(i) in any case referred to in clause (1) hereof, the occurrence of such event,

(ii) in any case referred to in clause (2) hereof, the date any such dividend or distribution is paid or made,

(iii) in any case referred to in clause (3) hereof, the date of expiration of such rights or warrants, and

(iv) in any case referred to in clause (4) hereof, the date a sale or exchange of Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes irrevocable.

(m) For purposes of this Section 15.05, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(n) If the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to this Section 15.05, to the extent such adjustment results in a constructive dividend to a holder of the Notes under Section 305 of the Code and any contemporaneous payments by the Company to such holder are not sufficient to allow the Company to comply with United States federal withholding tax obligations imposed by the Code with respect to such constructive dividend, the Company may, to the extent required by applicable law, recoup or set-off such liability against any amounts owed to such holder, including, but not limited to, any payments made with respect to the Notes to such beneficial owners or any actual cash dividends or distributions subsequently made with respect to such shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion to such Holder.

Section 15.06. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination to which Section 15.05(c) applies), (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with another Person, or any binding share exchange, as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, or (iii) any conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to any other Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted but the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing that each Note shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Notes (assuming, for such purposes, a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock are available to convert all such Notes) immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash)

receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("non-electing share"), then for the purposes of this Section 15.06 the kind and amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 15.

The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each holder of Notes, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances.

If this Section 15.06 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 15.05 shall not apply.

Section 15.07. Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates on conversions of Notes shall be made without charge to the converting Noteholder for any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax in respect of the issue thereof. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of stock in any name other than that of the holder of any Note converted, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 15.08. Reservation of Shares, Shares to Be Fully Paid; Compliance with Governmental Requirements; Listing of Common Stock. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.

Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment increasing the Conversion Rate to an amount that would cause the Conversion Price to be reduced below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Rate.

The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of Notes will upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission (or any successor thereto), endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

The Company further covenants that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note; provided that if the rules of such

exchange or automated quotation system permit the Company to defer the listing of such Common Stock until the first conversion of the Notes into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or automated quotation system at such time.

Section 15.09. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of Notes to determine the Conversion Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 15. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 15.06 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Noteholders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 15.06 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers' Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

Section 15.10. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:

(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 15.05; or

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

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

(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each holder of Notes at his address appearing on the Note Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common

Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

Section 15.11. Stockholder Rights Plans. If the rights provided for in any future rights plan adopted by the Company have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement so that the holders of the Notes would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the conversion rate will be adjusted as if the Company distributed to all holders of Common Stock shares of the Company's capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets (including securities but excluding rights or warrants to purchase Common Stock issued to all holders of Common Stock, Common Stock issued as a dividend or distribution on Common Stock and cash distributions), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of the rights. In lieu of any such adjustment, the Company may amend such applicable stockholder rights agreement to provide that upon conversion of the Notes the Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights which would have attached to such Common Stock if the rights had not become separated from the Common Stock under such applicable stockholder rights agreement.

ARTICLE 16
Subordination

Section 16.01. Agreement to Subordinate. The Company agrees, and each Noteholder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 16, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. The Notes shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company and only Indebtedness of the Company that is Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall rank senior to the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. For purposes of this Article 16, the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be deemed to include any Additional Interest. All provisions of this Article 16 shall be subject to Section 16.12.

Section 16.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property:

(1) holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such Senior Indebtedness before Noteholders shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal of or interest (including Contingent Interest) on the Notes; and

(2) until the Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which Noteholders would be entitled but for this Article 16 shall be made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear, except that Noteholders may receive any debt securities that are subordinated to such Senior Indebtedness to at least the same extent as the Notes.

Section 16.03. Default on Senior Indebtedness. The Company may not pay the principal of, premium (if any) or Interest on the Notes or make any deposit pursuant to Article 13 and may not otherwise purchase, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Notes (collectively, "pay the Notes") if (a) any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company is not paid when due or (b) any other default on such Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and the maturity of such

Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, (i) the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or (ii) such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash; provided, however, that the Company may pay the Notes without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of the Designated Senior Indebtedness with respect to which either of the events set forth in clause (a) or (b) of this sentence has occurred and is continuing. During the continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Company may not pay the Notes for a period (a "Payment Blockage Period") commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to the Company) of written notice (a "Blockage Notice") of such default from the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter or earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated: (a) by written notice to the Trustee and the Company from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, (b) by repayment in full of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or (c) because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is no longer continuing. Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section and the next 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 or a payment default with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness has occurred and is continuing, the Company may resume payments on the Notes after the end of such Payment Blockage Period, including any missed payments. Not more than one Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness during such period; provided, however, that if any Blockage Notice within such 360-day period is given by or on behalf of any holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness other than the Bank Indebtedness, the Representative of the Bank Indebtedness may give another Blockage Notice within such period; provided further, however, that in no event may the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any 360 consecutive day period. For purposes of this Section, no default or event of default that existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

Section 16.04. Acceleration of Payment of Notes. If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company or the Trustee (provided, that the Trustee shall have received written notice from the Company, on which notice the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely) shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company (or their Representative) of the acceleration. If any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company is outstanding, the Company may not pay the Notes until five Business Days after such holders or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may pay the Notes only if this Article 16 otherwise permits payment at that time.

Section 16.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. If a distribution is made to the Trustee or to the Noteholders that because of this Article 16 should not have been made to them, the Trustee or the Noteholders who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.

Section 16.06. Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Noteholders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article 16 to holders of such Senior Indebtedness which otherwise would have been made to Noteholders is not, as between the Company and Noteholders, a payment by the Company on such Senior Indebtedness.

Section 16.07. Relative Rights. This Article 16 defines the relative rights of Noteholders and holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

(1) impair, as between the Company and Noteholders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and Interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms; or

(2) prevent the Trustee or any Noteholder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to receive distributions otherwise payable to Noteholders.

Section 16.08. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company, the Trustee or any Noteholders or by its or their failure to comply with this Indenture.

Section 16.09. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding Section 16.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives written notice that payments may not be made under this Article 16. The Company, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may give the notice; provided, however, that, if an issue of Senior Indebtedness of the Company has a Representative, only the Representative may give the notice.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Note Registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 16 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in Article 8 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article 16 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 8.07 or any other Section of this Indenture.

Section 16.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative (if any).

Section 16.11. Article 16 Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Accelerate. The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Notes by reason of any provision in this Article 16 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article 16 shall have any effect on the right of the Noteholders or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the Notes.

Section 16.12. Trust Monies Not Subordinated. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money held in trust under Article 13 by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and Interest on the Notes shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 16, and none of the

Noteholders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any other creditor of the Company.

Section 16.13. Trustee Entitled to Rely. Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 16, the Trustee and the Noteholders shall be entitled to conclusively rely (a) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 16.02 are pending, (b) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Noteholders or (c) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such 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 16. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 16, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 16, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 16.

Section 16.14. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each Noteholder by accepting a Note authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Noteholders and the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company as provided in this Article 16 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

Section 16.15. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Noteholders or the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 16 or otherwise.

Section 16.16. Reliance by Noteholders of Senior Indebtedness on Subordination Provisions. Each Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.

ARTICLE 17
Subsidiary Guarantees

Section 17.01. Subsidiary Guarantors. The Company covenants and agrees that if at any time subsequent to the issuance of the Notes any of the Company's Subsidiaries guarantee payment of any of the Company's unsecured Senior Subordinated Indebtedness or unsecured Subordinated Indebtedness, the Company shall cause each such Subsidiary (including any Subsidiary that had previously been a Subsidiary Guarantor and was subsequently released from its Subsidiary Guarantee) to execute a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the "Subsidiary

Guarantor Supplemental Indenture") and any other documentation requested by the Trustee satisfactory in form to the Trustee, pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor and shall deliver a full and unconditional Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes on the same basis as the Guarantee of such other unsecured Indebtedness of the Company; provided, however, that if such Indebtedness is Subordinated Indebtedness, the Subsidiary Guarantee will be senior to Guarantee of such Subordinated Indebtedness.

In the event (a) that a Subsidiary Guarantor is released or discharged from the Guarantee that, pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, resulted in the creation of the Subsidiary Guarantee (except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such other Guarantee), or (b) of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, then such Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from all of its obligations under this Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantor Supplemental Indenture, and the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. If a Subsidiary Guarantee terminates pursuant to the provisions of this Article 17, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate certifying to that effect as of the date of such Officers' Certificate.

ARTICLE 18

For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by the authenticating agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes "by the Trustee" and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or in the Notes for the Trustee's certificate of authentication. Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 8.09.

Any corporation into which any authenticating agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of any authenticating agent, shall be the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section 16.12, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such successor corporation.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 3.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (herein called the "Notes"), limited in aggregate principal amount to $150,000,000, or up to $175,000,000 if the Initial Purchasers' option to purchase additional notes is exercised, issued and to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of April 20, 2004 (herein called the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (herein called the "Trustee"), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Notes.

In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of and any accrued Interest on all Notes may be declared by either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or the Notes or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Notes; provided that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) reduce the principal amount of or change the Stated Maturity of any Note, (ii) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Interest on this Note, (iii) reduce any amount payable on redemption or repurchase of this Note (including upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change) or change the time at which or the circumstances under which this Note may or shall be redeemed or repurchased, (iv) impair the right of any Noteholder to institute suit for the payment on this Note, (v) make the principal or Interest of this Note payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in this Note, (vi) impair the right to convert this Note into Common Stock subject to the terms set forth in the Indenture, (vii) reduce the number of shares of Common Stock or other property receivable upon conversion other than as contemplated in the Indenture, (viii) modify any of the provisions of Section 11.02 or Section 7.07 of the Indenture, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each Note so affected, (ix) change any obligation of the Company to maintain an office or agency in the places and for the purposes set forth in Section 5.02 of the Indenture, (x) make any change in Article 16 of the Indenture (or, to the extent there are Subsidiary Guarantors, to the provisions of the Subsidiary Guarantor Supplemental Indenture that deal with subordination) that adversely affects the rights of any Noteholder under Article 16 of the Indenture, (xi) to the extent there are any subsidiary guarantees of the Notes as provided for in Section 17 of the Indenture, modify the subsidiary guarantees in any manner adverse to the Noteholders or (xii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Notes, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of all Notes then outstanding. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences except (A) a default in the payment of Interest on or the principal of any of the Notes, (B) a failure by the Company to convert any Notes into Common Stock of the Company, cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock of the Company, as applicable, (C) a default in the payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to Article 3 of the Indenture, (D) a default in the payment of the Company Repurchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price pursuant

to Article 3 of the Indenture, or (E) a default in respect of a covenant or provisions of the Indenture which under Article 11 of the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each or all Notes then outstanding or affected thereby. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and Interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Notes are issuable in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or exchange of Notes, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any other authorized denominations.

At any time on or after May 6, 2011 and prior to maturity, the Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, in cash upon mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to the holders of Notes at their last registered addresses, all as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price set forth below, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed together in each case with any accrued and unpaid Interest on the Notes redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (provided that if the Redemption Date is a May 1 or November 1, then the Interest payable on such date shall be paid to the holder of record on the preceding April 15 or October 15, respectively):

Year	Percentages

On May 1, 2013 through May 1, 2014	100.375	%
On May 1, 2014 and thereafter	100.000	%

In no event will any Note be redeemable at the option of the Company before May 6, 2011.

The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund.

If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to maturity of the Notes, this Note will be redeemable in cash on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specified by the Company, which shall be no later than 30 days after notice thereof, at the option of the holder of this Note at a Fundamental Change Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with any accrued Interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; provided that if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Interest payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the holder of record of this Note on the preceding April 15 or October 15, respectively. The Notes will be redeemable in multiples of $1,000 principal amount. The Company shall mail to all holders of record of the Notes a notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof on or before the 15th day after the occurrence of such Fundamental Change. For a Note to be so repurchased at the option of the holder, the Company must receive at the office or agency of

A-6

the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, such Note with the form entitled "Form of Fundamental Change Repurchase Election" on the reverse thereof duly completed, together with such Note, duly endorsed for transfer, before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to repurchase, at the option of the holder, all or any portion of the Notes held by such holder on May 1, 2014 and May 1, 2019 in integral multiples of $1,000 at a Company Repurchase Price of 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid Interest on such Note to, but excluding, the Company Repurchase Date. To exercise such right, a holder shall deliver to the Company such Note with the form entitled "Form of Company Repurchase Election" on the reverse thereof duly completed, together with the Note, duly endorsed for transfer, at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to such Company Repurchase Date until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Company Repurchase Date, and shall deliver the Notes to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) as set forth in the Indenture.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Company Repurchase Price shall be paid in cash.

Holders have the right to withdraw any Repurchase Election by delivering to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) a written notice of withdrawal up to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date, all as provided in the Indenture.

If cash sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price with respect to all Notes or portions thereof to be repurchased as of any Repurchase Date is deposited with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), then on the Business Day following such Repurchase Date, Interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or portions thereof), and the holder thereof shall have no other rights as such other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price upon surrender of such Note.

Subject to the occurrence of certain events and in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, the holder hereof has the right, at its option, to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes into 56.0303 shares of the Company's Common Stock (a Conversion Price of $17.85 per share), as such shares shall be constituted at the date of conversion and subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this Note with the form entitled "Form of Conversion Notice" on the reverse hereof duly completed, to the Company at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, or at the option of such holder, the Corporate Trust Office, and, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as this Note, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the holder or by his duly authorized attorney. The Company will notify the holder thereof of any event triggering the right to convert the Notes as specified above in accordance with the Indenture.

If the Company (i) reclassifies or changes the Common Stock; (ii) is a party to a consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange or combination, (ii) reclassifies the Common Stock, or (iii) sells or conveys all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any Person, the right to convert a Note into shares of Common Stock may be changed into a right to convert it into securities, cash or other assets of the Company or such other Person, in each case in accordance with the Indenture.

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, upon the conversion of this Note, that portion of the accrued but unpaid Interest (excluding Additional Interest if, at the time of such conversion, there exists a Registration Default as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with respect to the converted Note shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the holder thereof through delivery of the Common Stock (or, to the extent the Company has elected to satisfy all or a portion of its conversion obligation with cash, such

A-7

cash and the Common Stock), together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional shares, in exchange for the Note being converted pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture; and the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock (together with any such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) shall be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for and in satisfaction of the Company's obligation to pay the principal amount of the converted Note and the accrued but unpaid Interest (excluding Additional Interest if, at the time of such conversion, there exists a Registration Default as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and the balance, if any, of such fair market value of such Common Stock (and any such cash payment) shall be treated as issued in exchange for and in satisfaction of the right to convert the Note being converted pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture.

Notwithstanding the prior paragraph, if this Note (or portion hereof) is surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the following Interest Payment Date, the Holder hereof at the close of business on such Regular Record Date shall receive the Interest payable on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Under such circumstances, this Note, upon surrender for conversion, shall be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the Interest otherwise payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount being converted; provided that no such payment need be made (1) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date or a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and prior to the next Interest Payment Date or (2) to the extent of any overdue Interest, if any overdue Interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. Except as provided above, no payment or other adjustment shall be made for Interest accrued on any Note converted or for dividends on any shares issued upon the conversion of such Note.

No fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment and payment in cash will be made, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Note or Notes for conversion.

A Note in respect of which a holder is exercising its right to require repurchase upon a Fundamental Change or repurchase on a Repurchase Date may be converted only if such holder withdraws its election to exercise such right in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

Any Notes called for redemption, unless surrendered for conversion by the holders thereof on or before the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, may be deemed to be redeemed from the holders of such Notes for an amount equal to the applicable Redemption Price, together with any accrued but unpaid Interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, by one or more investment banks or other purchasers who may agree with the Company (i) to purchase such Notes from the holders thereof and convert them into shares of the Company's Common Stock and (ii) to make payment for such Notes as aforesaid to the Trustee in trust for the holders.

To the extent provided in the Indenture, the Notes are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness, as defined in the Indenture, and pari passu with any and all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness, as defined in the Indenture, of the Company. To the extent provided in the Indenture, Senior Indebtedness must be paid before the Notes may be paid. The Company agrees, and each Noteholder by accepting a Note agrees, to the subordination provisions contained in the Indenture and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange thereof, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

A-8

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

The Company agrees, and by acceptance of a beneficial ownership interest in the Notes each Holder and each beneficial owner of the Notes will be deemed to have agreed, for United States federal income tax purposes (1) to treat the Notes as indebtedness that is subject to Treasury regulations section 1.1275-4 and, for purposes of the Contingent Debt Regulations, to treat the fair market value of any stock beneficially received upon any conversion of the Notes as a contingent payment, (2) to accrue interest with respect to the Notes as original issue discount on a constant yield basis using the comparable yield of 7.75% per annum compounded semi-annually and (3) to be bound by the "comparable yield" and the "projected payment schedule" within the meaning of the Contingent Debt Regulations, as determined by the Company. A Holder or beneficial owner may obtain the issue price, amount of original issue discount, issue date, yield to maturity, comparable yield and projected payment schedule for the Notes by submitting a written request for such information to the Company at the following address: Xxxxxx Industries, Inc., 0000 X.

FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this "Supplemental Indenture"), dated as of , among Xxxxxx Industries, Inc. (or its permitted successor) (the "Company"), a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware, The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the "Trustee") and (the "Subsidiary Guarantor"), a subsidiary of the Company.

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of April 20, 2004 providing for the issuance of 3.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (the "Notes");

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Subsidiary Guarantor shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company's obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Subsidiary Guarantee"); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 11 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. (a) The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees to irrevocably and unconditionally Guarantee, jointly and severally with all other Subsidiary Guarantors (if any), as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Noteholder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption, repurchase or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under the Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, Interest on, in respect of the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other payment obligations of the Company whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under the Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the "Guaranteed Obligations"). The Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from the Subsidiary Guarantor, and that the Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain bound under this Supplemental Indenture notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(b) The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Noteholder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Noteholder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (v) the

failure of any Noteholder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

(c) The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Subsidiary Guarantors, such that the Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations would be less than the full amount claimed. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company first be used and depleted as payment of the Company's or the Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations hereunder or under the Indenture prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder or under the Indenture. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Company be sued prior to an action being initiated against the Subsidiary Guarantor.

(d) The Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Noteholder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(e) The Subsidiary Guarantee of the Subsidiary Guarantor is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in Section 3 to this Supplemental Indenture, subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor and is made subject to such provisions of this Supplemental Indenture.

(f) Except as expressly set forth in Section 5 hereof, the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Noteholder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(g) Except as otherwise provided herein and in the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. The Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or Interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Noteholder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

(h) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Noteholder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against the Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or Interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, the Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Noteholders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) any accrued and unpaid Interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Company to the Noteholders and the Trustee.

B-2

(i) The Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Noteholders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and all obligations to which the Guaranteed Obligations are subordinated as provided in this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture. The Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Noteholders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 7 of the Indenture for the purposes of the Subsidiary Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 7 of the Indenture, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 2.

(j) The Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Noteholder in enforcing any rights under this Section 2.

(k) Upon request of the Trustee, the Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Supplemental Indenture.

3. SUBORDINATION. (a) The Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 3, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor. The obligations hereunder with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantor shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor and shall rank senior to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor; and only Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor that is Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor shall rank senior to the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

(b) Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Subsidiary Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Subsidiary Guarantor or its property:

(1) holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such Senior Indebtedness before Noteholders shall be entitled to receive any payment pursuant to any Guaranteed Obligations from the Subsidiary Guarantor; and

(2) until the Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor is paid in full, any payment or distribution to which Noteholders would be entitled but for this Section 3 shall be made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness as their respective interests may appear, except that Noteholders may receive any debt securities that are subordinated to such Senior Indebtedness to at least the same extent as the Subsidiary Guarantees.

(c) The Subsidiary Guarantor may not make any payment pursuant to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or purchase, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Notes (collectively, "pay its Guarantee") if (a) any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor is not paid when due or (b) any other default on Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor occurs and the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, (i) the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or (ii) such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full;

B-3

provided, however, that the Subsidiary Guarantor may pay its Guarantee without regard to the foregoing if the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness with respect to which either of the events in clause (a) or (b) of this sentence has occurred and is continuing. During the continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Subsidiary Guarantor may not pay its Guarantee for a period (a "Guarantee Payment Blockage Period") commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Company) of written notice (a "Guarantee Blockage Notice") of such default from the Representative of the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor specifying an election to effect a Guarantee Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter or earlier if such Guarantee Payment Blockage Period is terminated: (a) by written notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Company) from the Person or Persons who gave such Guarantee Blockage Notice, (b) because such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been repaid in full or (c) because the default giving rise to such Guarantee Blockage Notice is no longer continuing. Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section 3(c) and the next 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 or a payment default with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness has occurred and is continuing, the Subsidiary Guarantor may resume to paying its Subsidiary Guarantee after such Guarantee Payment Blockage Period, including any missed payments. Not more than one Guarantee Blockage Notice may be given with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantor in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor during such period; provided, however, that if any Guarantee Blockage Notice within such 360-day period is given by or on behalf of any holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor other than the Bank Indebtedness, the Representative of the Bank Indebtedness may give another Guarantee Blockage Notice within such period; provided further, however, that in no event may the total number of days during which any Guarantee Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any 360 consecutive day period. For purposes of this Section 3(c), no default or event of default that existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Guarantee Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating such Guarantee Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Guarantee Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

(d) If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default and a demand for payment is made on the Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Trustee (provided that the Trustee shall have received written notice from the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, on which notice the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely) shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor (or the Representative of such holders) of such demand. If any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor is outstanding, the Subsidiary Guarantor may not pay its Guarantee until five Business Days after such holders or the Representative of the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor receive notice of such demand and, thereafter, may pay its Guarantee only if this Section 3 otherwise permits payment at that time.

(e) If a payment or distribution is made to the Trustee or the Noteholders that because of this Section 3 should not have been made to them, the Trustee or the Noteholders who receive the payment

B-4

or distribution shall hold such payment or distribution in trust for holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor and pay it over to them as their respective interests may appear.

(f) After all Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full in cash, Noteholders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor to receive distributions applicable to Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor. A distribution made under this Section 3 to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor which otherwise would have been made to Noteholders is not, as between the Subsidiary Guarantor and Noteholders, a payment by the Subsidiary Guarantor on Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor.

(g) This Section 3 defines the relative rights of Noteholders and holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor. Nothing in this Supplemental Indenture shall:

(1) impair, as between the Subsidiary Guarantor and Noteholders, the obligation of the Subsidiary Guarantor which is absolute and unconditional, to make payments with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent set forth in Section 2 hereof; or

(2) prevent the Trustee or any Noteholder from exercising its available remedies upon a default by the Subsidiary Guarantor under its obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor to receive distributions otherwise payable to Noteholders.

(h) No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce the subordination of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or any Noteholder or by its or their failure to comply with this Indenture.

(i) Notwithstanding Section 3(c), the Trustee or the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives written notice that payments may not be made under this Section 3. The Subsidiary Guarantor, the Registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor may give the notice; provided, however, that if an issue of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor has a Representative, only the Representative may give the notice.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Note Registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Section 3 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor; and nothing in Article 8 of the Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Section 3 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 8.06 of the Indenture or any other section of the Indenture.

(j) Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor, the distribution may be made and the notice given to its Representative (if any).

(k) The failure of the Subsidiary Guarantor to make a payment on any of its obligations by reason of any provision in this Section 3 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default by the Subsidiary Guarantor under such obligations. Nothing in this Section 3 shall have any effect on the right of the Noteholders or the Trustee to make a demand for payment on the Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 2 hereof.

B-5

(l) Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 3, the Trustee and the Noteholders shall be entitled to conclusively rely (a) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 3(b) are pending, (b) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Noteholders or (c) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor and other Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 3. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 18, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section 3, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of the Indenture shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.

(m) Each Noteholder by accepting a Note authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Noteholders and the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor as provided in this Section 3 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

(n) The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Noteholders or the Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 3 or otherwise.

(o) Each Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.

(p) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money held in trust under Article 13 of the Indenture by the Trustee for the payment of principal of, and Interest on, the Notes shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 3, and none of the Noteholders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Subsidiary Guarantor or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor or any other creditor of the Subsidiary Guarantor.

4. RELEASES. The Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from all of its obligations under this Supplemental Indenture, and the Subsidiary Guarantee of the Subsidiary Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force or effect in the event:

(a) that the Subsidiary Guarantor is released from the Guarantee that, pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, had resulted in the creation of the Subsidiary Guarantee (except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such other Guarantee); or

B-6

(b) of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company,

and in each such case, prior to release and discharge or the Subsidiary Guarantee, the Company will have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that, as required by the Indenture, all conditions precedent provided for herein and in the Indenture relating to such transactions have been complied with and that such release is authorized and permitted hereunder.

5. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. Any term or provision of this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by the Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture, as it relates to the Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

6. SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS. This Supplemental Indenture shall be binding upon the Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Noteholders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Noteholder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Supplemental Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Supplemental Indenture.

7. NO WAIVER. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Noteholders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Noteholders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Supplemental Indenture at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

8. MODIFICATION. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Supplemental Indenture, nor the consent to any departure by the Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

9. NON-IMPAIRMENT. The failure to endorse a Subsidiary Guarantee on any Note shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

10. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. This Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (including Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law or any successor to such statute).

11. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

12. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

13. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Company.
