Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, UBS agrees to sell to the Issuer, and the Issuer agrees to purchase from UBS, 1,000,000 shares (the “Number of Shares”) of Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price per Share equal to the Closing Price of the Common Stock on October 24, 2007 or on such other date and at such other time as the parties may mutually agree (the “Execution Date”). At 4:00 P.M. on the third Trading Day after the Execution Date (the “Settlement Date”), UBS shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Shares through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company to the Issuer against payment by the Issuer of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties understand and agree that the delivery of the Shares by or on behalf of UBS upon the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price by the Issuer is irrevocable and that as of the Settlement Date the Issuer will be the sole beneficial owner of the Shares for all purposes.

As compensation to UBS for its commitment and services hereunder, the Issuer on the Settlement Date will pay to UBS by wire transfer of immediately available funds an additional amount equal to $143,642.36. This amount payable to UBS shall not be subject to refund.

Section 3. Settlement.

(a) On the Settlement Date, the Calculation Agent shall establish a notional Principal Account in an amount equal to the Purchase Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Principal Account daily as follows:

The Principal Account shall be reduced on the third day following the Last Averaging Date in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Number of Shares and (y) the Final VWAP-Minus Price.

On the first Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Execution Period, the Calculation Agent will calculate the Settlement Amount and, if applicable, the Stock Settlement Amount, notify (the “Settlement Amount Notification”) the Issuer of the Settlement Amount and, if applicable, the Stock Settlement Amount and provide a schedule of its calculations thereof. The Calculation Agent shall respond promptly to all questions raised by the Issuer relating to such calculations. If the Issuer objects to the calculation of the Settlement

Amount, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Calculation Agent, and the Issuer and UBS agree to use their good faith best efforts to reach an agreement as to the Settlement Amount. In the further event that the Issuer and UBS are not able to reach an agreement, the Issuer and UBS shall appoint a third party with sufficient expertise to determine the calculation of the Settlement Amount, and such calculations shall be binding on both parties.

(b) On the third Trading Day immediately following the Calculation Date (the “Payment Date”), if the Settlement Amount is positive, UBS shall pay the Settlement Amount to the Issuer and, if the Settlement Amount is negative, the Issuer shall pay the absolute value of such Settlement Amount to UBS. Except as provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section, all payments to be made under this Section 3 shall be made on the Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(c) If the Issuer is required to pay the Settlement Amount to UBS pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, the Issuer may, at its option, satisfy the obligation by the delivery to UBS of a number of whole shares of Common Stock (and a payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any) equal to the Stock Settlement Amount. In order to exercise this option, the Issuer must (each, a “Condition on Net Share Settlement”) (i) notify UBS of its election to have any Settlement Amount payable in shares of Common Stock no later than 10 days prior to December 19, 2007 (the “Stock Election Notice”), (ii) enter into a registration rights agreement with UBS in form and substance acceptable to UBS (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) not later than 7 days prior to December 19, 2007, which agreement will contain, among other things, customary representations and warranties and indemnification and other rights, including rights to customary opinions of counsel and accountant’s “comfort letters,” relating to the registration of the Stock Settlement Shares, the Make-whole Shares and any additional shares of Common Stock as to which UBS is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration (the “Registered Shares”); (iii) the Shelf Registration shall have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission not less than five Trading Days prior to December 19, 2007; and (iv) maintain the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration until all Registered Shares have been sold by UBS. Subject to paragraph 3(g) below, if any of the conditions in the preceding sentence are not met, the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall be inoperative and the Issuer shall be obligated to pay any applicable Settlement Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If the Issuer complies with all of its obligations under this paragraph (c), then at 9:30 A.M. on the Payment Date, the Issuer shall deliver to UBS (i) a certificate or certificates representing the fully paid and nonassessable Stock Settlement Shares, in such denominations and in such names as UBS may specify and (ii) the cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties understand and agree that the deliveries made pursuant to the preceding sentence and the following paragraph shall be irrevocable and shall satisfy in full the Issuer’s obligations under this Section 3.

If the Issuer delivers Stock Settlement Shares to UBS pursuant to this paragraph (c) and within ten Trading Days after the Payment Date, UBS resells all or any portion of the Stock Settlement Shares and the net proceeds received by UBS upon resale of such shares exceeds the Settlement Amount (or if less than all of the Stock Settlement Shares are resold, the applicable pro rata portion of the Settlement Amount), UBS shall promptly refund in cash such

difference to the Issuer; provided that UBS may, at its option, satisfy its obligation under this sentence by returning to the Issuer any portion of the Stock Settlement Shares that would, if sold, have resulted in net proceeds in excess of the Settlement Amount. In the event that such net proceeds are less than the Settlement Amount (or if less than all of the Stock Settlement Shares are resold, the applicable pro rata portion of the Settlement Amount), the Issuer shall pay in cash or additional shares of Common Stock (the “Make-whole Shares”) such difference (the “Make-whole Amount”) to UBS promptly after receipt of notice thereof. In the event that Issuer elects to pay the Make-whole Amount in additional shares of Common Stock, the requirements set forth in this paragraph (c) with respect to payment of the Settlement Amount in Shares, including Make-whole requirements, shall apply, such that UBS shall pay to the Issuer any such excess and the Issuer shall pay to UBS in cash or Make-Whole Shares any additional Make-Whole Amount. In calculating the net proceeds from the resale of any Stock Settlement Shares there shall be deducted from such proceeds any amount equal to the customary underwriting discount or commission for underwritten offerings of common stock by companies comparable to the Issuer multiplied by the total number of Shares sold for the account of UBS pursuant to a Shelf Registration.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if Issuer exercises its right pursuant to Section 3(c) above, Issuer shall not be obliged to deliver, in connection with this Agreement, in excess of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, as recalculated from time to time (the “Determined Amount”). In the event that, but for this Section 3, Issuer would be obliged to deliver a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Determined Amount plus the Excess Shares, Issuer agrees to (x) satisfy its remaining obligation by cash payment or; (y) (i) use its best efforts to increase its number of authorized shares, thereby increasing the Determined Amount, to the extent necessary so that, but for this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock Issuer would be obliged to deliver does not exceed the (recalculated) Determined Amount and (ii) allocate such newly authorized shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of Issuer’s delivery obligations under this Agreement in priority to any other use of such Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of Issuer to so use its best efforts is an ongoing obligation.

(e) Issuer hereby represents and warrants that it will:

(i) calculate the Determined Amount based on the maximum amount able to be calculated in accordance with EITF 00-19 or any successor financial statement guidance; and

(ii) in respect of all equity derivative transactions in respect of which Issuer’s equity securities constitute (all or part of) the instruments underlying such transactions (the “Derivative Trades”), use the same methodology to derive the Determined Amount (howsoever described) applicable to each Derivative Trade as is used to derive the Determined Amount for this Agreement.

(f) UBS agrees that, in respect of any obligations Issuer has duly elected be satisfied pursuant to Section 3(c) above, in the event of Issuer’s bankruptcy, UBS

shall not have rights in bankruptcy that rank senior to the rights in bankruptcy of common shareholders of Issuer.

(g) If the Issuer has used its best efforts to satisfy the Conditions on Net Share Settlement but has been unable to because the Shelf Registration is not declared effective by the SEC within the time set out in paragraph 3(c) (or, where UBS has previously agreed to extend such period based on a request by the Issuer pursuant to paragraph 3(g)(ii), within such period as extended pursuant to paragraph 3(g)(ii)), then the Issuer may elect to:

(i) deliver the relevant number of Shares to UBS in which case:

(A) the day on which the Issuer makes such an election to deliver such Shares is the “Issuer Election Date”, and

(B) Issuer shall withdraw any Registration Statement filed with the SEC in connection with the Shares, and

(C) Issuer will enter into a private placement purchase agreement with UBS in form and substance acceptable to UBS no later than the next Trading Day following the Issuer Election Date, and

(D) Issuer shall deliver to UBS such Shares on the Settlement Date which, for the purposes of this paragraph 3(g)(i)(D), shall be the third Trading Day following the Issuer Election Date, and

(E) in addition to any Make-whole Amount payable by Issuer pursuant to paragraph 3(c) herein, Issuer shall deliver to UBS such additional Shares until UBS has realized actual net proceeds upon resale of such Shares equal to the Settlement Amount. At its election, UBS may by a written notice to Issuer retain a number of Shares delivered by Issuer pursuant to this paragraph 3(g)(i). If UBS so elects, UBS shall be deemed to have sold each such retained Share for an amount equal to the price per Share obtained by UBS for the last Share sold by UBS prior to sending written notice of its intention to retain Shares to Issuer. In no event will UBS be obligated to exercise its right to retain Shares; or

(ii) request UBS to extend the period within which the Registration Statement is to be declared effective by the SEC for a further period specified in writing by UBS at the time of such extension.

(h) If UBS is required to pay the Settlement Amount to the Issuer pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, the Issuer may, at its option, elect that UBS satisfy the obligation by the delivery to the Issuer of a number of whole shares of Common Stock (and a payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any) equal to the Stock Settlement Amount. In order to exercise this option, the Issuer must notify UBS of its election to have any Settlement Amount payable in shares of Common Stock no later than 15 days prior to the Payment Date (the “Stock Election Notice”). If the condition in the preceding sentence is not met, the provisions of this paragraph (h) shall be inoperative and UBS shall be obligated to pay any applicable Settlement Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If the Issuer complies with all of its obligations under this paragraph (h), then at 9:30 A.M. on the Payment Date, UBS shall deliver to the Issuer (i) a certificate or certificates representing the fully paid and nonassessable Stock Settlement Shares, and (ii) the cash payment, if any, in lieu of

fractional shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties understand and agree that the deliveries made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be irrevocable and shall satisfy in full UBS’ obligations under this Section 3.

Section 4. Anti-dilution Adjustments.

(a) Subdivisions and Combinations of Common Stock. In the event that the outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be subdivided or split into a greater number of shares of Common Stock where the effective date of such subdivision or the record date for such split occurs during the Execution Period, the number of shares of Common Stock referred to herein shall be deemed to be proportionately increased and the Final VWAP-Minus Price and Discount shall be deemed to be proportionately decreased; conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock through a combination of shares of Common Stock or a reverse stock split where the effective date of such combination or the record date for such reverse stock split occurs during the Execution Period, the number of shares of Common Stock referred to herein shall be deemed to be proportionately decreased and the Final VWAP-Minus Price and Discount shall be deemed to be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective (i) in the case of a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, at the close of business on the record date for such subdivision or combination or (ii) in the case of a stock split or reverse stock split, at the split, at the close of business on the record date for such stock split or reverse stock split.

(b) Merger Events. In respect of each Merger Event, UBS and the Issuer or the person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquired such assets or which acquires the Issuer’s Common Stock, as the case may be, shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to give appropriate effect to such transaction. In the event that the parties are unable to reach an agreement ten (10) Trading Days prior to the effective date of such transaction (the “Termination Date”), (i) the Execution Period shall terminate on the Termination Date, (ii) the Principal Account shall be reduced on such date by an amount equal to the product of (x) an amount equal to the cash and fair market value (as determined by the Issuer’s Board of Directors whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and binding) of the securities and/or property payable or distributable upon such transaction in respect of one share of Common Stock and (y) the number of Borrowed Shares as of such date, and (iii) the Settlement Amount shall be further adjusted by the Calculation Agent by the amount that the Calculation Agent reasonably determines in good faith to be UBS’s total losses and costs in connection with the early termination of this Agreement, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding, or loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position.

If payment is required of Issuer in connection with a Merger Event, the Issuer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect (the “Extraordinary Transaction Election”) to satisfy any such payment obligation by Net Share Settlement of this Transaction PROVIDED THAT, in connection with a “Share-for-Combined” Merger Event or “Share-for-Other” Merger Event, the Extraordinary Transaction Election is available to satisfy only the percentage of such payment obligation equal to the percentage of the non-cash consideration over the total

Combined Consideration (in the case of a “Share-for-Combined” Merger Event) or total Other Consideration (in the case of a “Share-for-Other” Merger Event). The remaining percentage of such payment obligation must be satisfied in cash. The Issuer shall make any election to settle the Transaction by way of Net Share Settlement within two Trading Days of the Announcement Date but in any event not less than twenty Trading Days prior to the effective date of such merger.

(c) Tender Offers. In the event an offer is made to the holders of Common Stock to tender shares of Common Stock for cash, UBS may, in its discretion (i) accelerate the Last Averaging Date or (ii) adjust the Number of Shares. UBS shall notify the Issuer in writing as to the terms of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(c) no later than 5 days after the tender offer is made.

(d) Other Events. In the event of any corporate event involving the Issuer or the Common Stock not specifically addressed in subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4 or in the event that the Calculation Agent, in its good faith judgment, determines that the adjustments described in subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4 will not result in an equitable adjustment of the terms of the transaction described herein, and provided that, in each case, such corporate event impacts the rights or obligations of a holder of Common Stock, the terms of the transaction described herein shall be subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent (including, without limitation, the First Averaging Date, the Last Averaging Date and the Number of Shares) as in the exercise of its good faith judgment it deems appropriate under the circumstances in order to result in an equitable adjustment to this transaction. In the event that the Issuer objects to the adjustments, the Issuer shall promptly so notify the Calculation Agent and UBS, and the Issuer and UBS agree to use their good faith best efforts to reach an agreement as to the adjustment. In the further event that the Issuer and UBS are not able to reach an agreement, the Issuer and UBS shall appoint a third party with sufficient expertise to determine the adjustment and such adjustment shall be binding on both parties.

Section 5. Acknowledgement.

Section 7. Indemnification.

In the event that UBS becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by or against any person in connection with any matter referred to in this Agreement, the Issuer periodically will reimburse UBS for its legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith. The Issuer also will indemnify and hold UBS harmless against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which UBS may become subject in connection with any matter referred to in this Agreement, except to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability results from the gross negligence or bad faith of UBS in effecting the transactions which are the subject of this Agreement. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to UBS or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Issuer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by UBS as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer on the one hand and UBS on the other hand in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of the Issuer and UBS with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits to the Issuer, on the one hand, and UBS, on the other hand, shall be in the same proportion as the aggregate Purchase Price bears to the commissions received by UBS pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuer may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliate of UBS and the partners, directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of UBS and any such affiliate and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Issuer, UBS, any such affiliate and any such person. The Issuer also agrees that neither UBS nor any of such affiliates, partners, directors, officers, agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability to the Issuer for or, in connection with any matter referred to in this Agreement except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Issuer result from the gross negligence or bad faith of UBS in effecting the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement. The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination or completion of this Agreement.

Section 8. Termination Event.

Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event and so long as such Termination Event shall be continuing, UBS may, in its discretion, by notice to the Issuer (the date of such notice and the notice referred to in the succeeding clause being referred to herein as the “Notice Date”), direct that the Execution Period shall forthwith terminate on the date specified in such notice (the “Termination Event Termination Date”). In such an event, (i) the Execution Period

shall terminate on the Termination Event Termination Date, (ii) the Principal Account shall be reduced on such date by an amount equal to the sum of (A) the product of (x) the number of Hedge Account Shares and (y) the arithmetic average of daily volume-weighted average prices of Shares in each Trading Day from the First Averaging Date up to and excluding the Notice Date, as listed on Bloomberg Screen Volume at Price Page and (B) the total purchase price paid by UBS for the Shares of Common Stock that are purchased by UBS during the period commencing on and including the Notice Date to and including the Termination Event Termination Date in order to cover the remaining number of Borrowed Shares, (iii) the Principal Account shall be increased to reflect an appropriate accrual of interest at the Federal Funds Open Rate, as determined by the Calculation Agent, to reflect interest earned by UBS in respect of the aggregate Purchase Price received from the Issuer, (iv) the Principal Account shall be decreased to reflect UBS’s actual cost of borrowing shares of Common Stock to hedge its obligations hereunder, and (v) the Settlement Amount shall be further adjusted by the amount that UBS reasonably determines in good faith to be its total losses and costs in connection with the early termination of this Agreement, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding, or loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position.

Section 9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and obligations set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

(b) Assignment. Neither the rights under this Agreement nor the obligations created by this Agreement shall be assignable or delegable, in whole or in part, by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and any attempt to assign or delegate any rights or obligations arising under this Agreement without such consent shall be void.

(c) Waivers, etc. No failure or delay on the part of either party in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by either party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and, in the case of a waiver or consent, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

(d) Beneficiaries.

(e) Rights of Set-Off. In addition to any rights of set-off a party may have as a matter of law or otherwise, upon occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer, UBS shall have the right, without prior notice to the Issuer or any other person, to (i) set off any obligation of the Issuer owing to UBS or any affiliate of UBS against any obligations of UBS or any affiliate of UBS owing to the Issuer, or (ii) for the purpose of cross-currency set-off, convert any obligation to another currency at the market rate determined by UBS, or (iii) if an obligation is unascertained, in good faith estimate that obligation and set off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 9(e) will have the effect of creating a charge or other security interest.

(f) Changes of Law. If, due to any change in applicable law or regulations or the interpretation thereof by any court of law or other body having jurisdiction subsequent to the date of this Agreement, performance of any provision of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated thereby shall become impracticable or impossible, the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as contemplated by such provision.

(g) Confidentiality. Subject to Section 5(a), to any contrary requirement of law and to the right of each party to enforce its rights hereunder in any legal action, each party shall keep strictly confidential and shall cause its employees and agents to keep strictly confidential the terms of this Agreement and any information of or concerning the other party which it or any of its agents or employees may acquire pursuant to, or in the course of performing its obligations under, any provision of this Agreement. In the event disclosure is permitted pursuant to the preceding sentence, the disclosing party shall (i) provide prior notice of such disclosure to the other party, (ii) use its best efforts to minimize the extent of such disclosure and (iii) comply with all reasonable requests of the other party to minimize the extent of such disclosure. This Section 9(g) shall not prevent either party from disclosing information as necessary to third-party advisors in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby provided that such advisors agree in writing to be bound by this Section 9(g) as if a party hereto.
