WHEREAS, at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), each share of Common Stock of Parent issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than dissenting shares and those shares of common stock of Parent described in Section 2.1(b) of the Merger Agreement) shall be converted into the right to receive $2.20 in cash payable to the holder thereof, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), and as a result, the Merger will constitute a Reorganization Event under the Indenture;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Parent has duly adopted Board Resolutions authorizing Parent to execute and deliver this Third Supplemental Indenture; and

If the Conversion Date occurs within 15 calendar days of the Maturity Date, the Accreted Principal Amount shall be increased to reflect the Accretion Amount for the Maturity Date for the purpose of determining the amount of Reference Property into which the Notes shall be converted. For the avoidance of doubt, the Conversion Price will not be increased in connection with an increase in the Accreted Principal Amount.

(herein called the “Trustee”), as Trustee, to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authorized and delivered. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture.
| 1. | Method of Payment |

Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent, Security Registrar and Conversion Agent. The Co-Issuers may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Security Registrar or co-registrar or Conversion Agent upon written notice thereto.

The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.
| 4. | Sinking Fund and Redemption |
The Notes are not subject to the provisions of Articles Eleven or Twelve of the Base Indenture.
| 5. | Repurchase of Notes at the Option of Holders |
If there shall occur a Fundamental Change at any time prior to the Maturity Date, then each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Co-Issuers to repurchase for cash any or all of such Holder’s Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
| 6. | Conversion |
Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof solely into the Reference Property at the applicable Conversion Price specified in the Indenture, as adjusted prior to April 15, 2013 as provided in the Indenture. Prior to April 15, 2013, the Reference Property into which such Notes shall be convertible shall be an amount of cash equal (x) $2.20 multiplied by (y) a notional number of
shares of Common Stock equal to (a) the Accreted Principal Amount of Notes being converted divided by (b) the Conversion Price.

The Notes are in registered form without coupons, in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency and make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in Initial Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to either Co-Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically become immediately due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee and the
Collateral Agent may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.
| 13. | Trustee Dealings with the Co-Issuers |
The Trustee or the Collateral Agent under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for, and otherwise deal with, the Co-Issuers and their Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.
