THE SECURITIES

SECTION 2.1. Title and Terms. The Securities shall be known and designated as the “3¼% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2013” of the Company. The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to $130,000,000 (or $149,500,000 if the option set forth in Section 2(b) of the Purchase Agreement is exercised in full), except for securities

authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Securities pursuant to Section 2.7, 2.8, 2.12, 7.5, 10.7, 11.1 or 12.2 hereof. The Securities shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof.

The Securities shall mature on August 16, 2013.

Interest shall accrue from July 1, 2005 at the Interest Rate until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be payable semiannually in arrears on February 16 and August 16 of each year, commencing February 16, 2006.

Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any period shorter than a full semiannual period for which interest is calculated, on the basis of a 30-day month, and for such periods of less than a month, the actual number of days elapsed over a 30-day month.

A Holder of any Security at the close of business on a Regular Record Date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Security on the corresponding Interest Payment Date. If the Company is required by law to withhold any taxes with respect to a deemed distribution to a Holder resulting from a Conversion Rate adjustment, such taxes may be withheld from interest payments made to such Holder on or after the date of such Conversion Price adjustment.

A Holder of any Security which is converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date) shall be entitled to receive interest on the principal amount of such Security on such Interest Payment Date, notwithstanding the conversion of such Security prior to such Interest Payment Date. However, any such Holder which surrenders any such Security for conversion during the period between the close of business on such Regular Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be required to pay the Company an amount equal to the interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted (but excluding any overdue interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted that exists at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion), which is payable by the Company to such Holder on such Interest Payment Date, at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder which surrenders for conversion any Security (a) which has been called for redemption by the Company in a notice of redemption given by the Company pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof on a Redemption Date after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (b) with respect to which the Company has specified a Repurchase Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, in either case, shall be entitled to receive (and retain) such interest and need not pay the Company an amount equal to the interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion.

Principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, Global Securities shall be payable to the Depositary in immediately available funds.

Principal and premium, if any, on Physical Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, initially the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. Interest on Physical Securities will be payable by (i) U.S. Dollar check drawn on a bank located in the city where the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Register, or (ii) upon application to the Registrar not later than the relevant Record Date by a Holder of an aggregate principal amount in excess of $5,000,000, wire transfer in immediately available funds.

The Securities shall be redeemable at the option of the Company as provided in Article 10 hereof.

The Securities shall have the repurchase rights exercisable at the option of Holders as provided in Article 11 hereof.

The Securities shall be convertible as provided in Article 12 hereof.

The Securities shall be subordinated in right of payment to Senior Debt of the Company as provided in Article 13 hereof.

SECTION 2.2. Form of Securities. The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Securities shall be substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, which is incorporated in and made a part of this Indenture. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Security 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 Securities may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends and endorsements 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 to comply with any 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 Securities may be listed or designated for issuance, or to conform to usage.

The Securities shall be issued initially only in the form of one or more permanent Global Securities (each, a “Global Security”) in registered form without interest coupons. The Global Securities shall be:

(1) duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided;

(2) registered in the name of the Depositary (or its nominee) for credit to the respective accounts of the Holders at the Depositary; and

(3) deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary.

The Global Securities shall be substantially in the form of Security set forth in Exhibit A annexed hereto (including the text and schedule called for by footnotes 1 and 2 thereto). The aggregate principal amount of the Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary (or its nominee), in accordance with the instructions given by the Holder thereof, as hereinafter provided.

Securities issued in exchange for interests in the Global Securities pursuant to Section 2.8(d) hereof shall be issued in the form of permanent definitive Securities (the “Physical Securities”) in registered form without interest coupons. The Physical Securities shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A annexed hereto.

The Securities shall be typed, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, all as determined by the Officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

SECTION 2.3. Legend. Each Global Security shall bear the following legend on the face thereof:

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (“DTC”) TO CV THERAPEUTICS, INC. (OR ITS SUCCESSOR) OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE, CONVERSION OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

SECTION 2.4. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. Two Officers shall execute the Securities on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent or agents reasonably acceptable to the Company with respect to the Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.

SECTION 2.5. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities (the “Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents for the Securities. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any additional registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on Securities in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture;

(2) give the Trustee notice of any Default by the Company in the making of any payment of principal and premium, if any, or interest; and

(3) at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent who is not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar; provided, however, that none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Affiliates of the foregoing shall act:

(i) as Paying Agent in connection with redemptions, offers to purchase and discharges, as otherwise specified in this Indenture, and

(ii) as Paying Agent or Registrar if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Securities.

SECTION 2.6. Paying Agent to Hold Assets in Trust. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Securities, the Company shall deposit with one or more Paying Agents money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and interest so becoming due. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee.

If the Company shall act as a Paying Agent, it shall, prior to or on each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders a sum sufficient with monies held by all other Paying Agents, to pay the principal and premium, if any, or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act.

SECTION 2.7. General Provisions Relating to Transfer and Exchange. The Securities are issuable only in registered form. A Holder may transfer a Security only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register. Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry.

When Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal aggregate principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including that such Securities are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder). Subject to Section 2.4 hereof, to permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Securities, but the Company may require

payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.14, 7.5 or 10.7 hereof).

Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Securities:

(1) for a period of 15 Business Days prior to the day of any selection of Securities for redemption under Article 10 hereof;

(2) so selected for redemption or, if a portion of any Security is selected for redemption, such portion thereof selected for redemption; or

(3) surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any Security is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion.

SECTION 2.8. Book-Entry Provisions for the Global Securities.

(a) The Global Securities initially shall

(i) be registered in the name of the Depositary (or a nominee thereof);

(ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary; and

(iii) bear the Restricted Securities Legend as set forth in Section 2.3(a)(i) hereof.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“DTC Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and the DTC Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.

(b) The registered Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including DTC Participants and Persons that may hold interests through DTC Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

(c) A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary (or a nominee thereof), and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered. Beneficial interests in a Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.9 hereof.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Depositary notifies the Company in writing that it is no longer willing or able to continue to act as Depositary for the Global Securities, or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary for the Global Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or cessation;

(ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Securities in definitive form under this Indenture in exchange for all or any part of the Securities represented by a Global Security or Global Securities; or

(iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary for the issuance of Physical Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Global Securities,

the Depositary shall surrender such Global Security or Global Securities to the Trustee for cancellation and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Securities, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such Global Security or Global Securities, Physical Securities of like tenor as that of the Global Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Security or Global Securities. Such Physical Securities shall be registered in such names as the Depositary shall identify in writing as the beneficial owners of the Securities represented by such Global Security or Global Securities (or any nominees thereof).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any transfer of beneficial interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.8(d) hereof, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Global Security to be transferred.

SECTION 2.9. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.10. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the TIA. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee prior to or on each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders relating to such Interest Payment Date or request, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.11. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the registered Holder of a Global Security as the absolute owner of such Global Security for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon, or any notice of previous loss or theft or other interest therein. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon, or any notice of previous loss or theft or other interest therein.

SECTION 2.12. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee

(1) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and

(2) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless,

then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon request, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion, but subject to any conversion rights, may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security, upon satisfaction of the condition set forth in the preceding paragraph.

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

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

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

SECTION 2.13. Treasury Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities are present at a meeting of Holders for quorum purposes or have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such determination as to the presence of a quorum or upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only such Securities of which the Trustee has received written notice and are so owned shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 2.14. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of Securities in definitive form, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Securities (printed or lithographed). Temporary Securities shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Securities in definitive form but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Securities in definitive form. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee Securities in definitive form (other than in the case of Securities in global form) and thereupon any or all temporary Securities (other than any such Securities in global form) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 9.2 and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of Securities in definitive form. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Securities in definitive form authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.15. Cancellation. All securities surrendered for payment, redemption, repurchase, conversion, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Securities so delivered shall be canceled promptly by the Trustee, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. Upon written instructions of the Company, the Trustee shall dispose of the Securities in accordance with its usual and customary policies and procedures and, thereafter, shall deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.16. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

SECTION 2.17. Defaulted Interest. If the Company fails to make a payment of interest on any Security when due and payable (“Defaulted Interest”), it shall pay such Defaulted Interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the Defaulted Interest, in any lawful manner. It may elect to pay such Defaulted Interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of such Securities on which the interest is due on a subsequent Special Record Date. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security. The Company shall fix any such Special Record Date and payment date for such payment. At least 15 days before any such Special Record Date, the Company shall mail to Holders affected thereby a notice that states the Special Record Date, the Interest Payment Date, and amount of such interest to be paid.

(C) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in the case of either clause (x) or (y) to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and discharge had not occurred,

and if, in the case of either clause (1) or (2), the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to: (i) remaining rights of registration of transfer, substitution and exchange and conversion of Securities, (ii) rights hereunder of Holders to receive payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and the other rights, duties and obligations of Holders, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any, so deposited with the Trustee, and (iii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture; provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the Trustee for all amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.8 hereof and for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Securities.

SECTION 3.2. Deposited Monies To Be Held in Trust. Subject to Section 3.3 hereof, all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 13 hereof, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company if acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the particular Securities for the payment or redemption of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal, premium, if any, and interest. All monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof (and held by it or any Paying Agent) for the payment of Securities subsequently converted shall be returned to the Company upon request of the Company.

SECTION 3.3. Return of Unclaimed Monies. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company any money held by them for the payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

(e) (i) the Company fails to make any payment by the end of the applicable grace period, if any, after the maturity of any Indebtedness for borrowed money in an amount in excess of $5,000,000 or (ii) there is an acceleration of any Indebtedness for borrowed money in an amount in excess of $5,000,000 because of a default with respect to such Indebtedness without such Indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in the case of either (i) or (ii) above, for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities; or

(i) the Pledge and Escrow Agreement ceases to be in full force and effect or enforceable prior to its expiration in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 4.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default with respect to Outstanding Securities (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(g) or 4.1(h) hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare due and payable 100% of the principal amount of all Outstanding Securities plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment shall be immediately due and payable.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(g) or 4.1(h) hereof occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Outstanding Securities shall become and be immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee may rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences if:

(1) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Securities which has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been remedied, cured or waived, and

(2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;

provided, however, that in the event such declaration of acceleration has been made based on the existence of an Event of Default under Section 4.1(e) hereof and such Event of Default has been remedied, cured or waived in accordance with Section 4.1(e) hereof, then, without any further action by the Holders, such declaration of acceleration shall be rescinded automatically and the consequences of such declaration shall be annulled. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 4.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to Outstanding Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding in which it may prosecute and enforce all rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities, even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

SECTION 4.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders, either (a) through the written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities or (b) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities represented at such meeting, may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities, waive an existing Default or Event of Default, except a Default or Event of Default:

(1) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security (provided, however, that subject to Section 4.7 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(2) in respect of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article 12; or

(3) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Section 7.2 hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; provided, however, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 4.5. Control by Majority. The Holders, either (a) through the written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or (b) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities represented at such meeting, 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. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that:

(1) conflicts with any law or with this Indenture,

(2) the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of the Holders not joining therein, or

(3) may expose the Trustee to personal liability.

The Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 4.6. Limitation on Suit. No Holder of any Security shall have any right to pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities (including instituting any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee) unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of an Event of Default that is continuing;

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against any costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in complying with such request;

(4) the Trustee has failed to comply with the request for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and

(5) during such 60-day period, no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or such amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture);

provided, however, that no one or more of such Holders may use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain preference or priority over another Holder.

SECTION 4.7. Unconditional Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date, or in the case of the exercise of a Repurchase Right on the Repurchase Date) and to convert such Security in accordance with Article 12, and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates and right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 4.8. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by the Trustee. The Company covenants that if:

(1) a Default or Event of Default occurs in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such Default or Event of Default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(2) a Default or Event of Default occurs in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security at the Maturity thereof, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable (as expressed therein or as a result of any acceleration effected pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof) on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and on any overdue interest, in each case at the Interest Rate, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 4.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or the property of the Company or its creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities 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 on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, (1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and premium, if any, and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders of Securities

allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (2) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Securities, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.8.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept, or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such proceeding.

SECTION 4.10. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 4.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 2.12, no right or remedy conferred in this Indenture upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 4.12. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities, as the case may be.

SECTION 4.13. Application of Money Collected. Subject to Article 13, any money and property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money and property on account of principal or premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and coupons in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: Any remaining amounts shall be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 4.14. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by such Xxxxxx’s 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, suffered 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, 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; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or exercise of a repurchase right, on or after the Redemption Date) or for the enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article 12.

SECTION 4.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE 5

THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 5.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,

(1) The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture or the TIA, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates or opinions to determine whether or not, on their face, they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not investigate or confirm the accuracy of any facts stated therein).

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

(c) 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:

(1) This paragraph (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph (a) of this Section 5.1;

(2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(3) 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 a direction received by it of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or such lesser amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture) 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) Whether or not herein expressly so 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 5.1.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel).

(f) The Trustee shall not be obligated to pay interest on any money or other assets received by it unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. Assets held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact a Default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee pursuant to Section 14.2 hereof, and such notice is received from the Company or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture.

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee hereunder, 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 Paying Agent, authenticating agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar acting hereunder.

SECTION 5.2. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof and subject to Sections 315(a) through (d) of the TIA:

(1) The Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(3) The Trustee may act through attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed with due care.

(4) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith which it believed to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture, unless the Trustee’s conduct constitutes negligence.

(5) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(6) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.

(7) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.

SECTION 5.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as such term is defined in Section 310(b) of the TIA), it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (to the extent permitted under Section 310(b) of the TIA) or resign. Any agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 5.11 and 5.12 hereof.

SECTION 5.4. Money Held in Trust. 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 otherwise expressly agreed with the Company.

SECTION 5.5. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except for those in the certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity, sufficiency or priority of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 5.6. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder of which the Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee shall give notice to Holders pursuant to Section 14.2 hereof, unless such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, or in the payment of any redemption or repurchase obligation, on any Security, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

SECTION 5.7. Reports by Trustee to Holders. The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required by Section 313 of the TIA at the times and in the manner provided by the TIA.

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC, if required, and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities become listed on any stock exchange.

SECTION 5.8. Compensation and Indemnification. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Company covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it or on its behalf 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 agents and other persons not regularly in its employ), except to the extent that any such expense, disbursement or advance is due to its negligence or bad faith. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1 hereof, the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold such Persons harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by them, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder or the performance of their duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim of liability in the premises, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense was due to the negligence or willful misconduct of such Persons. The obligations of the Company under this Section 5.8 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents and to pay or reimburse such Persons for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities 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 Securities, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section 5.8 shall include any predecessor Trustee, but the negligence or willful misconduct of any Trustee shall not affect the indemnification of any other Trustee.

SECTION 5.9. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 5.9.

The Trustee may resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company must remove the Trustee if:

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 5.11 hereof or Section 310 of the TIA;

(ii) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting;

SECTION 10.3. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee, subject to the procedures of the Depository, shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed from the Outstanding Securities by a method that complies with the requirements of any exchange on which the Securities are listed, or, if the Securities are not listed on an exchange, on a pro rata basis or by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. Securities and portions thereof that the Trustee selects shall be in amounts equal to the minimum authorized denominations for Securities to be redeemed or any integral multiple thereof.

If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed to be the portion selected for redemption (provided, however, that the Holder of such Security so converted and deemed redeemed shall not be entitled to any additional interest payment as a result of such deemed redemption than such Holder would have otherwise been entitled to receive upon conversion of such Security).

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Registrar in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

(5) the Conversion Rate, the date on which the right to convert the principal of the Securities to be redeemed will terminate and the places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion;

(6) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any; and

(7) the CUSIP number of the Securities.

SECTION 10.6. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to or on any Redemption Date before 11 a.m. New York City time, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities to be redeemed on that Redemption Date, other than any Securities called for redemption on that date which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Securities.

If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall (subject to any right of the Holder of such Security or any Predecessor Security to receive interest as provided in the fourth to last paragraph of Section 2.1 hereof) be paid to the Company on Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

SECTION 10.7. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at an office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

(b) Subject to the fulfillment by the Company of the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 hereof, the Company may elect to pay the Repurchase Price by delivering that number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the Repurchase Price divided by (ii) 95% of the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding and including the third Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date (if the third Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date is a Trading Day, or if not, then on the last Trading Day prior to the third Business Day), appropriately adjusted to take into account the occurrence, during the period commencing on the first Trading Day during the twenty Trading-Day period and ending on the Repurchase Date of any event that would result in an adjustment to the conversion rate set forth in Section 12.1(c).

(c) Whenever in this Indenture (including Sections 2.2, 4.1(a) and 4.7 hereof) or Exhibit A annexed hereto there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Repurchase Price, payable in respect to such Security to the extent that such Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of the Repurchase Price in any provision of this Indenture shall not be construed as excluding the Repurchase Price in those provisions of this Indenture when such express mention is not made; provided, however, that for the purposes of Article 13 hereof, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Repurchase Price only to the extent the Repurchase Price is payable in cash.

SECTION 11.2. Conditions to the Company’s Election to Pay the Repurchase Price in Common Stock

(a) The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon repurchase of Securities hereunder:

(i) shall not require registration under any federal securities law before such shares may be freely transferable without being subject to any transfer restrictions under the Securities Act upon repurchase or, if such registration is required, such registration shall be completed and shall become effective prior to the Repurchase Date; and

(ii) shall not require registration with, or approval of, any governmental authority under any state law or any other federal law before shares may be validly issued or delivered upon repurchase or if such registration is required or such approval must be obtained, such registration shall be completed or such approval shall be obtained prior to the Repurchase Date.

(b) The shares of Common Stock to be listed upon repurchase of Securities hereunder are, or shall have been, approved for listing on the Nasdaq National Market or the New York Stock Exchange or listed on another national securities exchange, in any case, prior to the Repurchase Date.

(c) All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon repurchase of Securities will be issued out of the Company’s authorized but unissued Common Stock and will, upon issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free of any preemptive or similar rights.

(d) If any of the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (c) of this Section 11.2 are not satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof, the Repurchase Price shall be paid by the Company only in cash.

SECTION 11.3. Notices; Method of Exercising Repurchase Right, Etc

(a) Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption all of the Outstanding Securities, prior to or on the 30th day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company, or, at the written request and expense of the Company prior to or on the 30th day after such occurrence, the Trustee shall give to all Holders of Securities notice, in the manner provided in Section 14.2 hereof, of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the Repurchase Right set forth herein arising as a result thereof (the “Company Notice”). The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice of a Repurchase Right to the Trustee. Each notice of a Repurchase Right shall state:

(1) the Repurchase Date;

(2) the date by which the Repurchase Right must be exercised;

(3) the Repurchase Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and whether the Repurchase Price shall be paid by the Company in cash or by delivery of shares of Common Stock;

(4) a description of the procedure which a Holder must follow to exercise a Repurchase Right, and the place or places where such Securities, are to be surrendered for payment of the Repurchase Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any;

(5) that on the Repurchase Date the Repurchase Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will become due and payable upon each such Security designated by the Holder to be repurchased, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date;

(6) the Conversion Rate then in effect, the date on which the right to convert the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased will terminate and the place where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion;

(7) the place or places where such Securities, together with the Option to Elect Repayment Upon a Change of Control certificate included in Exhibit A annexed hereto are to be delivered for payment of the Repurchase Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any; and

(8) whether a Make-Whole Premium shall be payable by the Company upon conversion.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any Holder’s right to exercise a Repurchase Right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Securities.

If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Article 11 are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.

(b) To exercise a Repurchase Right, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee prior to or on the 30th day after the date of the Company Notice:

(1) written notice of the Holder’s exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased (and, if any Security is to be repurchased in part, the serial number thereof, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be repurchased) and a statement that an election to exercise the Repurchase Right is being made thereby, and, in the event that the Repurchase Price shall be paid in shares of Common Stock, the name or names (with addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issued, and

(2) the Securities with respect to which the Repurchase Right is being exercised.

Such written notice shall be irrevocable, except that the right of the Holder to convert the Securities with respect to which the Repurchase Right is being exercised shall continue until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date.

(c) In the event a Repurchase Right shall be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee the Repurchase Price in cash for payment to the Holder on the Repurchase Date or, if shares of Common Stock are to be paid, shares of Common Stock, as provided above, as promptly after the Repurchase Date as practicable, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Repurchase Date payable in cash with respect to the Securities as to which the Repurchase Right has been exercised; provided, however, that installments of interest that mature prior to or on the Repurchase Date shall be payable in cash to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date.

(d) If any Security (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase shall not be so paid on the Repurchase Date, the principal amount of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall, until paid, bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law from the Repurchase Date at the Interest Rate, and each Security shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the principal of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for.

(e) Any Security which is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

(f) Any issuance of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Repurchase Price shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Repurchase Date and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such repurchase shall be deemed to have become on the Repurchase Date the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby; provided, however, that any surrender for repurchase on a date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the Person or Persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates for such shares are to be issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the opening of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open. No payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions on any Common Stock issued upon repurchase of any Security declared prior to the Repurchase Date.

(g) No fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon repurchase of any Security or Securities. If more than one Security shall be repurchased from the same Holder and the Repurchase Price shall be payable in shares of Common Stock, the number of full shares which shall be issued upon such repurchase shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) to be so repurchased. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issued on the repurchase of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Quoted Price of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day preceding the Repurchase Date.

(h) Any issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock on repurchase of Securities shall be made without charge to the Holder of Securities being repurchased for such certificates or for any tax or duty in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the Securities represented thereby; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of (i) income of the Holder or (ii) any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Securities being repurchased, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless the Persons requesting such issuance or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax or duty has been paid.

(i) All Securities delivered for repurchase shall be delivered to the Trustee to be canceled at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.15 hereof.

ARTICLE 12

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 12.1. Conversion Right and Conversion Rate.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral

multiple of $1,000 may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into the number of duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. Such conversion right shall expire at the close of business on August 16, 2013.

(b) In case a Security or portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Security or the portion so called, shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption. In the case of a Fundamental Change for which the Holder exercises its Repurchase Right with respect to a Security or portion thereof, such conversion right in respect of the Security or portion thereof shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Repurchase Date.

(c) The rate at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (the “Conversion Rate”) shall be initially equal to 37.0370 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (h) and (l) of Section 12.4 hereof.

(d) If a Holder converts its Securities in connection with a Fundamental Change, such Holder will be entitled to receive an amount, payable in Common Stock equal to the Make-Whole Premium pursuant to Section 12.13, in addition to the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Securities.

SECTION 12.2. Exercise of Conversion Right. To exercise the conversion right, the Holder of any Security to be converted shall surrender such Security duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, at the office of any Conversion Agent, accompanied by a duly signed conversion notice substantially in the form attached to the Security to the Company stating that the Holder elects to convert such Security or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted.

Any Holder which surrenders any Security for conversion during the period between the close of business on any Regular Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date (except in the case of any Security whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date) shall be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest to be received on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of the Security being surrendered for conversion (but excluding any overdue interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted that exists at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder which surrenders for conversion any Security (a) which has been called for redemption by the Company in a notice of redemption given by the Company pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof on a Redemption Date after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (b) with respect to which the Company has specified a Repurchase Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, in either case, need not pay the Company an amount equal to the interest in the principal amount of such Security so converted at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion.

Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to such Conversion Agent a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 12.3 hereof.

In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Securities.

The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as the Conversion Agent.

SECTION 12.3. Fractions of Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Security or Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issued upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Quoted Price of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day preceding the date of conversion.

SECTION 12.4. Adjustment of Conversion Rate

. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustments, calculated by the Company, from time to time as follows:

(a) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by multiplying 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 Record Date (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) fixed for such determination and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) fixed for such determination.

Such increase shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 12.4(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided 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 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 or combination becomes effective.

(c) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants (other than any rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.4(d)) to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common

Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) on the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible), and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such Current Market Price.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights 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 for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.4(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.4(c), (2) any stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) distributed in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 12.11 hereof applies and (3) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash (the securities described in foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) hereinafter in this Section 12.4(d) called the “securities”), then, in each such case, subject to the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 12.4(d), the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 12.4(g)) on such date, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors (except as described below), whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date).

Such increase shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date, or in the case of a Spin-off, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the last Trading Day of the Measurement Period. However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.4(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the “Reference Period”) used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 12.4(g) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Holder.

In the event the Company distributes shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted, if at all, so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price (determined as described below) on such date plus the fair market value on such date of the portion of the shares of capital stock of such Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date), and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price on such date (determined as described below).

In respect of a dividend or other distribution of shares of capital stock of a class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company which has a Subsidiary Closing Price (a “Spin-off”), the fair market value of the securities to be distributed shall equal the average of the daily Subsidiary Closing Price of such securities for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day of such securities after the effectiveness of the Spin-off (the “Measurement Period”) and the Current Market Price shall be calculated over the same Measurement Period; provided, however, that in the event that an underwritten initial public offering of the securities in the Spin-off occurs simultaneously with the Spin-off, fair market value of the securities distributed in the Spin-off shall be the initial public offering price of such securities and the market price per share of the Common Stock shall mean the Closing Price for the Common Stock on the same Trading Day.

Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):

(i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock,

(ii) are not exercisable, and

(iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock

shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.4(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 12.4(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and record date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 12.4(d):

(1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrant (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and

(2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued.

For purposes of this Section 12.4(d) and Sections 12.4(a), 12.4(b) and 12.4(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.4(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, a subdivision or combination of Common Stock to which Section 12.4(b) applies, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 12.4(c) applies (or any combination thereof), shall be deemed instead to be:

(1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants to which Sections 12.4(a), 12.4(b) and 12.4(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Rate increase required by this Section 12.4(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by

(2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate increase required by Sections 12.4(a), 12.4(b) and 12.4(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except:

(A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (x) ”the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution”, “Record Date fixed for such determination” and “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 12.4(a), (y) ”the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” and “the day upon which such combination becomes effective” within the meaning of Section 12.4(b), and (z) ”the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants,” such “Record Date,” “the Record

Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and “such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” within the meaning of Section 12.4(c), and

(B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 12.4(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution.

(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 12.11 hereof applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 12.4(d) hereof), then and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, 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 close of business on such Record Date by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the sum of the aggregate amount of cash so distributed and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date.

In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(f) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of 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) on the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and

(ii) the denominator shall be (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time.

Such increase (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender 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 which would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 12.4(f) to any tender or exchange offer would result in an decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender or exchange offer under this Section 12.4(f).

(g) For purposes of this Section 12.4, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

(1) “Current Market Price” shall mean the average of the daily Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in question; provided, however, that if:

(i) the “ex” date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs during such ten consecutive Trading Days, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by dividing such Closing Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event;

(ii) the “ex” date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs on or after the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by dividing such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event; and

(iii) the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation is prior to the day in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on or after such “ex” date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of Section 12.4(d) or (f), whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock or assets being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the day before such “ex” date.

For purposes of any computation under Section 12.4(f), the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for such day and the next two succeeding Trading Days; provided, however, that if the “ex” date for any event (other than the tender offer requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs on or after the Expiration Time for the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by dividing such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex” date, when used:

(A) with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution;

(B) with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective, and

(C) with respect to any tender or exchange offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such offer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Rate are called for pursuant to this Section 12.4, such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 12.4 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(1) “fair market value” shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction.

(2) “Record Date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

(h) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section 12.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f), as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

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 period is at least 20 days and the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution; provided, however, that in no event may the Company increase the Conversion Rate such that it causes the Conversion Price to be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and each Holder at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Register a notice of the increase at least 15 days 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) All calculations under this Article 12 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. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock.

(j) In any case in which this Section 12.4 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a Record Date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 12.3 hereof.

(k) For purposes of this Section 12.4, 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.

(l) To the extent the Company has a Rights Plan in effect upon conversion of the Securities pursuant to this Article 12: (i) if such Rights have not separated from the Common Stock prior to the conversion of the Securities, each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities pursuant to this Article 12 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of Rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any Rights Plan; or (ii) if such Rights have separated from the Common Stock prior to the conversion of the Securities, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted as though the Rights were being distributed to all holders of Common Stock on the date of such separation. If such an adjustment is made and the Rights are later redeemed, invalidated or terminated, then a corresponding reversing adjustment will be made to the Conversion Rate on an equitable basis.

SECTION 12.5. Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided (other than in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 12.4(h) for which the notice required by such paragraph has been provided), the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Promptly after delivery of such Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective, and shall mail such notice to each Holder at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Register within 20 days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

SECTION 12.6. Notice Prior to Certain Actions. In case at any time after the date hereof:

(1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its capital surplus or its consolidated retained earnings;

(2) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class (or of securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class) or of any other rights;

(3) there shall occur any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, a change in par value, a change from par value to no par value or a change from no par value to par value), or any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or the sale, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

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

the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of securities pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, and shall cause to be provided to the Trustee and all Holders in accordance with Section 14.2 hereof, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating:

(A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, 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, rights or warrants are to be determined, or

(B) the date on which such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale, transfer, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

Neither the failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings or actions described in clauses (1) through (4) of this Section 12.6.

SECTION 12.7. Company to Reserve Common Stock. The Company shall at all times use its best efforts to reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Securities, the full number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all Outstanding Securities, including pursuant to any Make-Whole Premium.

SECTION 12.8. Taxes on Conversions. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes (other than taxes on income) and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. A Holder delivering a Security for conversion shall be liable for and will be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.

SECTION 12.9. Covenant as to Common Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable and, except as provided in Section 12.8, the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

SECTION 12.10. Cancellation of Converted Securities. All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee to be canceled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.15.

SECTION 12.11. Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of following events occur, namely:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination),

(ii) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination of the Company with another corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock or

(iii) any sale, conveyance or lease of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock,

the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that each Security shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) which such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance had such Securities been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, 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 12.11 the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, 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 which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 12. If, in the case of any such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth in Article 11 hereof.

The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the Register, 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 recapitalizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances.

If this Section 12.11 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 12.4 hereof shall not apply.

SECTION 12.12. Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or intent of any such adjustments when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (of the kind or amount) of any Common Stock, or of any other securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the

conversion of any Security; and it or they do not make any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of stock or share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article.

SECTION 12.13. Make-Whole Premium

(a) If a Fundamental Change Effective Date occurs on or prior to August 20, 2010, other than in connection with a Fundamental Change described in clause (3) of the definition of “Change of Control,” Holders who convert Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3(a) in connection with a Fundamental Change shall, subject to Section 12.13, be entitled to receive a “Make-Whole Premium” consisting of an increase in the Conversion Rate. The Make-Whole Premium shall be calculated by the Company and paid for in shares of Common Stock or in any other consideration into which the Securities are then convertible. The number of additional shares of Common Stock by which the Conversion Rate shall increase shall be determined by reference to the table below and shall equal the number of shares of Common Stock for the applicable Fundamental Change Effective Date and Stock Price of such Fundamental Change. If the applicable Fundamental Change Effective Date and/or Stock Price is not set forth in the table: (i) if the applicable Fundamental Change Effective Date and/or Stock Price is between two Fundamental Change Effective Dates or Stock Prices, as the case may be, set forth in the table, the Make-Whole Premium shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the Make-Whole Premiums set forth for the two Fundamental Change Effective Dates and/or Stock Prices, as the case may be, set forth in the table based on a 365-day year, (ii) if the Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date exceeds $100 a share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no Make-Whole Premium shall be paid, and (iii) if the Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date is less than $21.60 a share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no Make-Whole Premium shall be paid.

The Stock Prices set forth in the table above shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Securities is adjusted by multiplying each such Stock Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of additional shares set forth in the table above shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 12.4 hereof.

Delivery of the payment of the Make-Whole Premium shall be upon the later of (x) the settlement date of the conversion of Securities by the Holder and (y) promptly following the Fundamental Change Effective Date.

(b) A conversion of Securities by a Holder will be deemed for the purposes of this Section 12.13 to be “in connection with” a Fundamental Change if the conversion notice delivered by the Holder pursuant to Section 12.2 hereof is received by a Conversion Agent (i) on or subsequent to the date that is 15 calendar days prior to the date announced by the Company as the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date but (ii) prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Repurchase Date. The Company shall notify the Holders of an anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date at least 20 calendar days prior to such Fundamental Change Effective Date.

(c) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Section 12.13, in no event shall the Conversion Rate exceed 46.2963 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Securities (subject to adjustment as provided herein).

ARTICLE 13

SUBORDINATION

SECTION 13.1. Securities Subordinated to Senior Debt. The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities, by such Xxxxxx’s acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the Indebtedness represented by the Securities and the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on each and all of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinated and junior, to the extent and in the manner set forth and as set forth in this Section 13.1, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt; provided, however, that the Securities, the Indebtedness represented thereby and the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities in all respects shall rank equally with, or prior to, all existing and future Indebtedness of the Company that is expressly subordinated to any Senior Debt.

(a) In the event of any distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise, the holders of all Senior Debt shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon in respect of all such Senior Debt and all other amounts due or provision shall be made for such amount in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, before the Holders of any of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, on account of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities.

(b) In the event of any acceleration of Maturity of the Securities because of an Event of Default, unless the full amount due in respect of all Senior Debt is paid in cash or other form of payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities (including any redemption, conversion or cash repurchase pursuant to the exercise of the Repurchase Right or otherwise), and the Company shall give prompt written notice of such acceleration to such holders of Senior Debt.

(c) In the event of and during the continuance of any default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other payment obligation in respect of, any Senior Debt, unless all such payments due in respect of such Senior Debt have been paid in full in cash or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities (including any redemption, conversion or cash repurchase pursuant to the exercise of the Repurchase Right). The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any default under any Senior Debt or under any agreement pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued.

(d)

During the continuance of any event of default with respect to any Designated Senior Debt, as such event of default is defined under any such Designated Senior Debt or in any agreement pursuant to which any Designated Senior Debt has been issued (other than a default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other payment obligation in respect of any Designated Senior Debt), permitting the holder or holders of such Designated Senior Debt to accelerate the maturity thereof (or in the case of any lease, permitting the landlord either to terminate the lease or to require the Company to make an irrevocable offer to terminate the lease following an event of default thereunder), no payment shall be made by the Company, directly or indirectly, with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities for 179 days following notice in writing (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) to the Company, from any holder or holders of such Designated Senior Debt or their representative or representatives or the trustee or trustees under any indenture or under which any instrument evidencing any such Designated Senior Debt may

have been issued, that such an event of default has occurred and is continuing, unless such event of default has been cured or waived or such Designated Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Designated Senior Debt; provided, however, if the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt is accelerated (or in the case of any lease, as a result of such event of default, the landlord under the lease has given the Company notice of its intention to terminate the lease or to require the Company to make an irrevocable offer to terminate the lease following an event of default thereunder), no payment may be made on the Securities until such Designated Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Designated Senior Debt or such acceleration (or termination, in the case of a lease) has been cured or waived.

For purposes of this Section 13.1(d), such Payment Blockage Notice shall be deemed to include notice of all other events of default under such indenture or instrument which are continuing at the time of the event of default specified in such Payment Blockage Notice. The provisions of this Section 13.1(d) shall apply only to one such Payment Blockage Notice given in any period of 365 days with respect to any issue of Designated Senior Debt, and no such continuing event of default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice shall be, or shall be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice.

(e) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 13.1(a), 13.1(b), 13.1(c) and 13.1(d), any payment on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities shall be made by or on behalf of the Company and received by the Trustee, by any Holder or by any Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, money for any such payment shall be segregated and held in trust):

(i) after the occurrence of an event specified in Section 13.1(a) or 13.1(b), then, unless all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, or provision shall be made therefor,

(ii) after the happening of an event of default of the type specified in Section 13.1(c) above, then, unless the amount of such Senior Debt then due shall have been paid in full, or provision made therefor or such event of default shall have been cured or waived, or

(iii) after the happening of an event of default of the type specified in Section 13.1(d) above and delivery of a Payment Blockage Notice, then, unless such event of default shall have been cured or waived or the 179-day period specified in Section 13.1(d) shall have expired,

such payment (subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 13.7 hereof) shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over to, the holders of Designated Senior Debt (unless an event described in Section 13.1(a), (b) or (c) has occurred, in which case the payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over to all holders of Senior Debt) or their representative or representatives or the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of the Designated Senior Debt or Senior Debt, as the case may be, may have been issued, as their interests may appear.

SECTION 13.2. Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt to which the Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is in the circumstances subordinated as provided in Section 13.1 hereof, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to such Senior Debt until all amounts owing on the Securities shall be paid in full, and, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of Senior Debt by virtue of this Article which otherwise would have been made to the holders of the Securities shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of such

Senior Debt; provided, however, that the provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Debt, on the other hand.

SECTION 13.3. Obligation of the Company Is Absolute and Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Debt, nor shall anything contained herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

SECTION 13.4. Maturity of or Default on Senior Debt. Upon the maturity of any Senior Debt by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, all principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other payment obligations in respect of all such matured Senior Debt shall first be paid in full, or such payment shall have been duly provided for, before any payment on account of principal, or premium, if any, or interest is made upon the Securities.

Except as expressly provided in this Article, nothing contained in this Article shall affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, payments of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, or shall prevent the Trustee or any Paying Agent from applying any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities.

SECTION 13.6. Effectuation of Subordination by Trustee. Each Holder of Securities, by such Xxxxxx’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Xxxxxx’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee such Xxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the right of such Persons under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Persons pending judicial determination as to the right of such Persons to receive such payment.

SECTION 13.7. Knowledge of Trustee. Notwithstanding the provision of this Article or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Debt, of any default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other payment obligation in respect of any Senior Debt, or of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee having responsibility for the administration of the trust established by this Indenture shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, any Holder of Securities, any Paying or Conversion Agent

of the Company or the holder or representative of any class of Senior Debt, and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such default or facts exist; provided, however, that unless on the third Business Day prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose the Trustee shall have received the notice provided for in this Section 13.7, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such date.

SECTION 13.8. Trustee’s Relation to Senior Debt. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Debt at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

Nothing contained in this Article shall apply to claims of or payments to the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 5.8 hereof.

With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Debt if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders, the Company or any other Person moneys or assets to which any holder of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.

SECTION 13.9. Rights of Holders of Senior Debt Not Impaired. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

SECTION 13.11. Certain Conversions Not Deemed Payment. For the purposes of this Article 13 only:

(1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of Securities in accordance with Article 12 hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities, and

(2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except in satisfaction of fractional shares pursuant to Section 12.3 hereof), property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of a Security shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest such Security.

For the purposes of this Section 13.11, the term “junior securities” means:

(a) shares of any common stock of the Company or

(b) other securities of the Company that are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Debt that may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article.

Nothing contained in this Article 13 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors (other than holders of Senior Debt) and the Holders of Securities, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Security to convert such Security in accordance with Article 12 hereof.

SECTION 13.12. Relation to Other Indebtedness. The Securities shall be “Designated Senior Debt” for purposes of the indenture governing the Company’s 4¾% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2007. Additionally, the Securities shall rank on parity with the Company’s outstanding 2.0% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due 2023 and the Company’s outstanding 2¾% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2012.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security or the last day on which a Holder of a Security has a right to convert such Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment or Place of Conversion, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of interest or principal or premium, if any, or conversion of the Securities, need not be made at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date or at the Stated Maturity or on such last day for conversion; provided, however, that in the case that payment is made on such succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

CV THERAPEUTICS, INC.

3¼% Senior Subordinated Convertible Note due 2013

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

1. Principal and Interest. CV Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the Interest Rate from the date of issuance until repayment at Maturity, redemption or repurchase. The Company shall pay interest on this Security semiannually in arrears on February 16 and August 16 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing February 16, 2006.

Interest on this Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full semiannual period for which interest is calculated, on the basis of a 30-day month and, for such periods of less than a month, the actual number of days elapsed over a 30-day month.

A Holder of any Security at the close of business on a Regular Record Date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Security on the corresponding Interest Payment Date. A Holder of any Security which is converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date) shall be entitled to receive interest on the principal amount of such Security, notwithstanding the conversion of such Security prior to such Interest Payment Date. However, any such Holder which surrenders any such Security for conversion during the period between the close of business on such Regular Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be required to pay the Company an amount equal to the interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted (but excluding any overdue interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted that exists at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion), which is payable by the Company to such Holder on such Interest Payment Date, at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder which surrenders for conversion any Security (a) which has been called for redemption by the Company in a notice of redemption given by the Company pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Indenture on a Redemption Date after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (b) with respect to which the Company has specified a Repurchase Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, in either case, shall be entitled to receive (and retain) such interest and need not pay the Company an amount equal to the interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion.

2. Method of Payment. Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, Global Securities shall be payable to the Depositary in immediately available funds.

Principal of and premium, if any, on Physical Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, initially the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. Interest on Physical Securities shall be payable by (i) U.S. Dollar check drawn on a bank located in the city where the

Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Register, or (ii) upon application to the Registrar not later than the relevant Record Date by a Holder of an aggregate principal amount of Securities in excess of $5,000,000, wire transfer in immediately available funds.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.

4. Indenture. The Company issued this Security under an Indenture, dated as of July 1, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The terms of this Security include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (“TIA”). This Security is subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Security and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.

5. Optional Redemption. This Security is not redeemable prior to August 20, 2010. This Security may be redeemed in whole or in part, upon not less than 20 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at any time on or after August 20, 2010, at the option of the Company, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) set forth below if redeemed during the periods described below, plus any interest accrued but not paid prior to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.


Period	Redemption Price
Beginning August 20, 2010 and ending on August 19, 2011	101.219	%
Beginning August 20, 2011 and ending on August 19, 2012	100.813	%
Beginning on August 20, 2012 and thereafter	100.406	%

If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed from the Outstanding Securities by the methods as provided in the Indenture. If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed to be the portion selected for redemption (provided, however, that the Holder of such Security so converted and deemed redeemed shall not be entitled to any additional interest payment as a result of such deemed redemption than such Holder would have otherwise been entitled to receive upon conversion of such Security). Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

On and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest.

Notice of redemption shall be given by the Company to the Holders as provided in the Indenture.

6. Repurchase Rights.

(a) Repurchase Right Upon a Fundamental Change. If a Fundamental Change occurs, the Holder of Securities, at the Holder’s option, shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, to require the Company to repurchase the Securities (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is at least $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; provided, however, that the portion of the principal amount of this Security to be Outstanding after such repurchase is at least equal to $1,000) at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased (the “Repurchase Price”), plus interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date.

A Company Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders as provided in the Indenture. To exercise a Repurchase Right, a Holder must deliver to the Trustee a written notice as provided in the Indenture.

(b) Payment of Repurchase Price. Subject to the fulfillment by the Company of the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company may elect to pay the Repurchase Price by delivering the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the Repurchase Price divided by (ii) 95% of the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for the twenty consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding and including the third Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date (if the third Business Day prior to the applicable Repurchase Date is a Trading Day, or if not, then on the last Trading Day prior to the third Business Day), appropriately adjusted to take into account the occurrence, during the period commencing on the first Trading Day during the twenty Trading-Day period and ending on the Repurchase Date of any event that would result in an adjustment to the conversion rate set forth in the Indenture. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon repurchase of any Securities. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issued upon conversion of such Securities, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture.

7. Conversion Rights. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of Securities shall be entitled, at such Holder’s option, at any time before the close of business on August 20, 2013, to convert the Holder’s Securities (or any portion of the principal amount hereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof), at the principal amount thereof or of such portion thereof, into duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Rate in effect at the time of conversion.

(b) In the case of a Security (or a portion thereof) called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Security (or such portion thereof) so called shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption. In the case of a Fundamental Change for which the Holder exercises its Repurchase Right with respect to a Security (or a portion thereof), such conversion right in respect of the Security (or portion thereof) shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Repurchase Date.

Subject to certain conditions provided for in the Indenture, in certain circumstances, a Holder may receive an amount in cash or Common Stock, at the option of the Company, equal to the Make-Whole Premium, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of such Security.

(c) The Conversion Rate shall be initially equal to 37.0370 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted under certain circumstances as provided in the Indenture.

(d) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Securities. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issued upon conversion of such Securities, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture.

(e) If a Fundamental Change Effective Date occurs prior to August 20, 2010, other than in connection with a Fundamental Change described in clause (3) of the definition of “Change of Control,” and a Holder converts Securities in connection with such Fundamental Change, that Holder shall receive the Make-Whole Premium payable pursuant to Section 12.13 of the Indenture consisting of an increase in the Conversion Rate.

8. Subordination. The Indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all amounts then due on all Senior Debt of the Company; provided, however, that the Securities, the Indebtedness represented thereby and the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities in all respects shall rank equally with, or prior to, all existing and future Indebtedness of the Company that is expressly subordinated to any Senior Debt, and this Security is issued subject to such provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Xxxxxx’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

9. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Securities are issuable in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.

In the event of a redemption in part, the Company shall not be required (a) to register the transfer of, or exchange, Securities for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities called for such redemption, or (b) to register the transfer of, or exchange, any such Securities, or portion thereof, called for redemption.

In the event of redemption, conversion or repurchase of the Securities in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed, unconverted or unrepurchased portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof.

10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Security shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

11. Unclaimed Money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

12. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. Subject to certain conditions contained in the Indenture, the Company may discharge its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if (1) (a) all of the Outstanding Securities shall become due and payable at their scheduled Maturity within one year or (b) all of the Outstanding Securities are scheduled for redemption within one year, and (2) the Company shall have deposited with the Trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, all of the Outstanding Securities on the date of Maturity or redemption, as the case may be.

13. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or such

lesser amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security or such other Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed or to convert this Security (or pay cash in lieu of conversion) as provided in the Indenture.

14. Defaults and Remedies. The Indenture provides that an Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs when any of the following occurs:

(b) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any of the Securities when it becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, whether or not such payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions of Article 13 of the Indenture; provided, however, that the Company’s failure to pay interest on any of the Securities within five Business Days of any Interest Payment Date prior to and including August 16, 2008 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default; or

(d) the Company fails to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the Securities or the Indenture and such default continues for a period of 60 days after written notice of such failure is given as specified in the Indenture; or

(e) (i) the Company fails to make any payment by the end of the applicable grace period, if any, after the maturity of any Indebtedness for borrowed money in an amount in excess of $5,000,000, or (ii) there is an acceleration of any Indebtedness for borrowed money in an amount in excess of $5,000,000 because of a default with respect to such Indebtedness without such Indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) above, for a period of 30 days after written notice is given to the Company as specified in the Indenture; or

(f) the failure to provide the Company Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 11.3(a) of the Indenture; or

(g) there are certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company; or

(h) the Pledge and Escrow Agreement ceases to be in full force and effect or enforceable prior to its expiration in accordance with its terms.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

17. Additional Rights of Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

18. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on this Security and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on this Security or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
