Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Section 101 Acts of Holders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and (subject to Section 401) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

(d) At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in this Section 104, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the CVRs specified in this Agreement in connection with such action, any Holder of a CVR may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Section 104, revoke such action so far as it concerns such CVR. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any CVR shall bind every future Holder of the same CVR or the Holder of every CVR issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such CVR.

Section 105 Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Agreement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

(a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed, in writing, to or with the Trustee at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (Attention: Corporate Trust Services).

(b) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (Attention: General Counsel), or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

Section 106 Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event as required by any provision of this Agreement, then any method of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Section 107 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required to be included in this Agreement by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

Section 108 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 109 Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 110 Benefits of Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement or in the CVRs, express or implied, shall give to any Person (other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Paying Agent and the Holders) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and of the Holders.

Section 111 Governing Law.

This Agreement and the CVRs shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 112 Legal Holidays.

In the event that the Maturity Date, the Disposition Payment Date, or the Default Payment Date, as the case may be, shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the CVRs to the contrary) payment on the CVRs need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Maturity Date, the Disposition Payment Date, or the Default Payment Date, as the case may be.

Section 113 Separability Clause.

In case any provision in this Agreement or in the CVRs shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Upon the consummation of a Disposition, the Company shall pay to the Holder hereof in Cash for each CVR represented hereby an amount, if any, as determined by the Company, by which the Discounted Target Price exceeds the greater of (i) (x) the cash amount received for each Share by the holder thereof as a result of such Disposition, plus (y) the average of the Current Market Values for each trading day in the 15 consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the date on which the Disposition was consummated (the “Disposition Consummation Date”) of the publicly traded stock consideration, if any, received for each Share by the holder thereof as a result of such Disposition, plus (z) the fair market value, as determined by an Independent Financial Expert, of any other non-cash consideration, if any, received for each Share by the holder thereof as a result of such Disposition, in each case, assuming that such Holder did not exercise any right of appraisal granted under law with respect to such Disposition, and (ii) the Minimum Price. Such determinations by the Company and such Independent Financial Expert absent manifest error shall be final and binding on the Company and the Holder. Such payment shall be made on the date (the “Disposition Payment Date”) established by the Company, which in no event shall be more than 30 days after the Disposition Consummation Date. As soon as practicable after the Disposition Consummation Date, the Company shall give the Holder hereof and the Trustee notice of such Disposition and the Disposition Payment Date, as provided in Section 301(d) of the Agreement.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders holding an aggregate of at least 25% of the Outstanding CVRs, by notice to the Company (and to the

Trustee if given by the Holders), may declare the CVRs due and payable, and upon such declaration, the Company shall pay to the Holder in Cash for each CVR held by the Holder the Default Amount with interest at a rate of 8% per annum from the Default Payment Date through the date payment is made or duly provided for.

In the event that the Company determines that no amount is payable on the CVRs to the Holder on the Maturity Date or the Disposition Payment Date, as the case may be, as a result of Automatic Extinguishment or otherwise, the Company shall give to the Holder and the Trustee notice of such determination. Upon making such determination, absent manifest error, this CVR Certificate shall terminate and become null and void and the Holder hereof shall have no further rights with respect hereto. The failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of such determination.

If the Current Market Value of the Company’s Shares is greater than or equal to $3.50 per Share for each trading day in any 30 consecutive trading day period during the Valuation Period, the CVRs will automatically be extinguished without further consideration or action by the Company, the Trustee or the Holders (“Automatic Extinguishment”).

Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or of this CVR Certificate to the contrary, other than in the case of interest on the Default Amount, no interest shall accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to the Holder.

“Current Market Value” per share shall be calculated at the end of each trading day and shall be, for any given trading day: (i) the volume weighted mean of the sales prices, regular way, on The Nasdaq Stock Market (or, if the Shares are not listed thereon, the principal other exchange on which such shares are then listed) on such trading day, as quoted by Bloomberg LP; (ii) if the shares are not then listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange, the volume weighted mean of the sales prices over such trading day, as reported by Bloomberg LP or, if not so reported, as reported by a reputable quotation source designated by the Company; or (iii) if the shares are not then listed or admitted to trade on any securities exchange and no such reported sale price or bid and asked prices are available, the mean of the averages of the reported high and low and opening and closing bid and asked prices on such trading day, as reported in the Authorized Newspaper.

“Default Amount” means the amount, if any, by which the Discounted Target Price exceeds the Minimum Price.

“Default Payment Date” means the date upon which the CVRs become due and payable pursuant to Section 801 of the Agreement.

“Discounted Target Price” means, if a Disposition or an Event of Default shall occur prior to the Maturity Date, $2.90 discounted from the Maturity Date back to the Disposition

Payment Date or the Default Payment Date, as the case may be, at a per annum rate of 8%. In each case, upon each occurrence of an event specified in Section 301(j) of the Agreement, such amount, as it may have been previously adjusted, shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 301(j) of the Agreement.

“Disposition” means (i) the direct or indirect sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation) in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any person (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act; or (ii) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as defined above) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; unless in the case of a merger or consolidation pursuant to clause (ii), such transaction is in connection with a transaction in which all of the Shares are exchanged solely for other publicly traded common stock of the Company or another Person, the acquiror assumes the obligations of the Company relating to the CVRs, and appropriate adjustments are made to the Target Price, the Minimum Price, the Discounted Target Price and other terms hereof to reflect such transaction and the economic benefits intended to be conferred on the CVRs under this Agreement (a “Nondisposition Event”).

“Event of Default” has the meaning set forth in Section 801 of the Agreement.

“Independent Financial Expert” means an independent nationally recognized investment-banking firm.

The “Minimum Price” means $2.40. In each case, upon each occurrence of an event specified in Section 301(j) of the Agreement, such amount, as it may have been previously adjusted, shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 301(j) of the Agreement.

“Shares” means the common shares, par value $0.001, of the Company.

The “Target Price” means $2.90. In each case, upon each occurrence of an event specified in Section 301(j) of the Agreement, such amount, as it may have been previously adjusted, shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 301(j) of the Agreement.

“Valuation Period” has the meaning specified in Section 301(f) of the Agreement.

The Agreement 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 CVRs under the Agreement at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the CVRs at the time Outstanding.

No reference herein to the Agreement and no provision of this CVR Certificate or of the Agreement shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay any amounts determined pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Agreement at the times, place, form of consideration and amount, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of the CVRs represented by this CVR Certificate is registrable on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this CVR Certificate for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in the City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new CVR Certificates, for the same amount of CVRs, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. The Company hereby initially designates the office of the Trustee as the office for registration of transfer of this CVR Certificate.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this CVR Certificate is exchangeable for one or more CVR Certificates representing the same number of CVRs as represented by this CVR Certificate as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of CVRs, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to the time of due presentment of this CVR Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this CVR Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

All capitalized terms used in this CVR Certificate without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.

The Company will not issue any fractional CVRs.

(b) The CVRs shall be known and designated as the “Contingent Value Rights” of the Company and shall be unsecured obligations of the Company that rank equally with all other unsecured obligations of the Company and the Holders shall have no rights except for those rights explicitly provided for herein and shall not, by virtue of their ownership of CVRs have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.

(c) Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 301(j), the Company shall pay to each Holder, in Cash, on the third Business Day following the Maturity Date, for each CVR held by such Holder, an amount, if any, as determined by the Company, by which the Target Price exceeds the greater of (i) the average of the Current Market Values for each trading day in the Valuation Period and (ii) the Minimum Price. Such determinations by the Company absent manifest error shall be final and binding on the Company and the Holders. Not later than the second Business Day after the Maturity Date, the Company shall (x) prepare and file with the Trustee a certificate setting forth such determinations and the facts accounting for such determinations and (y) mail to each Holder a brief summary of such certificate, indicating the locations at which CVRs may be presented for payment.

(d) Upon the consummation of a Disposition, the Company shall pay (in the manner provided in Section 307) to each Holder for each CVR held by such Holder an amount, if any, as determined by the Company, by which the Discounted Target Price exceeds the greater of (i) (x) the cash amount received for each Share by the holder thereof as a result of such Disposition, plus (y) the average of the Current Market Values for each trading day in the 15 consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the date on which the Disposition was consummated (the “Disposition Consummation Date”) of the publicly traded stock consideration, if any, received for each Share by the holder thereof as a result of such Disposition, plus (z) the fair market value, as determined by an Independent Financial Expert, of any other non-cash consideration, if any, received for each Share by the holder thereof as a result of such Disposition, in each case, assuming that such Holder did not exercise any right of appraisal granted under law with respect to such Disposition, and (ii) the Minimum Price. Such determinations by the Company and such Independent Financial Expert absent manifest error shall be final and binding on the Company and the Holders. Such payment shall be made on the date (the “Disposition Payment Date”) established by the Company, which in no event shall be more than 30 days after the Disposition Consummation Date.

(e) As soon as practicable, the Company shall (x) prepare and file with the Trustee a certificate setting forth the determinations referred to in Section 301(d) and the facts

accounting for such determinations and (y) mail to each Holder a brief summary of such certificate, indicating the locations at which CVRs may be presented for payment and the date on which the payment referred to in Section 301(d) shall be made.

(f) The current market value per share (the “Current Market Value”) shall be calculated at the end of each trading day and shall be, for any given trading day: (i) the volume weighted mean of the sales prices, regular way, on The Nasdaq Stock Market (or, if the shares are not listed thereon, the principal other exchange on which such shares are then listed) on such trading day, as quoted by Bloomberg LP; (ii) if the shares are not then listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange, the volume weighted mean of the sales prices over such trading day, as reported by Bloomberg LP or, if not so reported, as reported by a reputable quotation source designated by the Company; or (iii) if the shares are not then listed or admitted to trade on any securities exchange and no such reported sale price or bid and asked prices are available, the mean of the averages of the reported high and low and opening and closing bid and asked prices on such trading day, as reported in the Authorized Newspaper.

“Valuation Period” means (i) with respect to a payment at the Maturity Date, the 15 consecutive trading day period immediately preceding (and including) the Maturity Date, and (ii) with respect to an Automatic Extinguishment, the period of time after the Effective Time and ending on the Maturity Date.

(g) In the event the fair market value of the consideration received as a result of a Disposition is determined by an Independent Financial Expert, the Company shall cause the Independent Financial Expert to deliver to the Company, with a copy to the Trustee, a value report (the “Value Report”) stating the methods of valuation considered or used and containing a statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the determination of value was made. The Trustee shall make available a copy of the Value Report to each Holder who requests such Value Report. The determination of the Independent Financial Expert as set forth in the Value Report absent manifest error shall be final and binding on the Company and the Holders.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the CVR Certificates to the contrary, other than in the case of interest on the Default Amount, no interest shall accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any Holder.

(i) In the event that the Company determines that no amount is payable on the CVRs to the Holders on the Maturity Date, or the Disposition Payment Date, as the case may be, as a result of an Automatic Extinguishment or otherwise, the Company shall give to the Trustee and each Holder notice of such determination. Upon making such determination, absent manifest error, the CVR Certificates shall terminate and become null and void and the Holders thereof shall have no further rights with respect thereto. The failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of such determination.

(j) In the event the Company shall in any manner subdivide (by stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) or combine (by reverse stock split or otherwise) the number of outstanding Shares, the Company shall similarly subdivide or combine the CVRs and shall appropriately adjust the Discounted Target Price, the Target Price, and the Minimum Price. In

the case of a Nondisposition Event, appropriate adjustments will be made to the Target Price, the Minimum Price, and the Discounted Target Price. Whenever an adjustment is made as provided in this Section 301(j), the Company shall (i) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment, (ii) promptly file with the Trustee a copy of such certificate and (iii) mail a brief summary thereof to each Holder. The Trustee shall be fully protected in relying on any such certificate and on any adjustment therein contained. Such adjustment absent manifest error shall be final and binding on the Company and the Holders. Each outstanding CVR Certificate shall thenceforth represent that number of adjusted CVRs necessary to reflect such subdivision or combination, and reflect the adjusted Discounted Target Price, Target Price, and the Minimum Price.

(k) If the Current Market Value of the Company’s Shares is greater than or equal to $3.50 per Share for each trading day in any 30 consecutive trading day period during the Valuation Period, the CVRs will automatically be extinguished without further consideration or action by the Company or the Holders (the “Automatic Extinguishment”) and all obligation of the Company under this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect; provided that the Company shall (i) promptly prepare a certificate stating that an Automatic Extinguishment has occurred and briefly stating the facts accounting for such Automatic Extinguishment, (ii) promptly file with the Trustee a copy of such certificate and (iii) mail a brief summary thereof to each Holder.

Section 302 Registrable Form.

The CVRs shall be issuable only in registered form. The CVRs shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global securities in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Article II (“Global Securities”), deposited with the Trustee, as the custodian for The Depository Trust Company, its nominees and successors (the “Depositary”), and shall bear the legend set forth on Exhibit A. Each Global Security will represent such of the outstanding CVRs as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate number of outstanding CVRs from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate number of outstanding CVRs represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges. Any CVRs issued in definitive form as may be permitted by this Agreement shall be issued in the form of one or more permanent definitive securities in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Article II (“Definitive Securities”), deposited with the Trustee, and shall not bear the legend set forth on Exhibit A.

Section 303 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The CVRs shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its chairman or vice chairman of the Board of Directors or its president or any vice president or its treasurer, under its corporate seal, which may, but need not, be attested. The signature of any of these officers on the CVRs may be manual or facsimile.

CVRs bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such CVRs or did not hold such offices at the date of such CVRs.

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

Each CVR shall be dated as of the date of its authentication.

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

Section 304 Temporary CVRs.

Until CVR Certificates are ready for delivery, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary CVRs which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, substantially of the tenor of the CVR Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such temporary CVRs may determine with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary CVRs may contain such reference to any provisions of this Agreement as may be appropriate. Every temporary CVR shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the CVR Certificates.

If temporary CVRs are issued, the Company will cause CVR Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of CVR Certificates, the temporary CVRs shall be exchangeable for CVR Certificates upon surrender of the temporary CVRs at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 702, without charge to the Holder.

Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary CVRs the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like amount of CVR Certificates. Until so exchanged, the temporary CVRs shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as CVR Certificates.

Section 305 Registration and Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Registration. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 702 being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of CVRs and of transfers of CVRs. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering CVRs and transfers of CVRs as herein provided.

(b) Transfer and Exchange.

(i) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. A Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Securities will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Securities if (i) the Company delivers to the Security Registrar notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Securities (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Securities and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Security Registrar or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue Definitive Securities. Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Securities shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Securities also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 304 and 306 hereof. Every CVR authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 305 or Section 304 or 306 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security. A Global Security may not be exchanged for another Global Security other than as provided in this Section 305(b)(i), however, beneficial interests in a Global Security may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 305(b)(ii) or (iii) hereof.

(ii) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Securities. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Securities will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in any Global Security may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in Global Security. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Security Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 305(b)(ii).

(iii) Beneficial Interests in Global Securities to Definitive Securities. If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Security or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Security, then the Security Registrar will cause the aggregate number of CVRs represented by the applicable Global Security to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 305(b)(vi) hereof, and the Company will execute and the Security Registrar will authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Security in the appropriate number of CVRs. Any Definitive Security issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 305(b)(iii) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Security Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant.

(iv) Definitive Securities to Beneficial Interests in Global Securities. A Holder of a Definitive Security may exchange such Definitive Security for a beneficial interest in a Global Security or transfer such Definitive Security to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Security Registrar will cancel the applicable Definitive Security and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate number of CVRs represented by one of the Global Securities.

(v) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Securities for Definitive Securities. Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Securities and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 305(b)(v), the Security Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Securities. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to the Security Registrar the Definitive Securities duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Security Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. A Holder of Definitive Securities may transfer such Definitive Securities to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of Definitive Securities. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Security Registrar shall register the Definitive Securities pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof.

(vi) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Securities. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Security have been exchanged for Definitive Securities or a particular Global Security has been repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Security will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Security Registrar in accordance with Section 309 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security or for Definitive Securities, the aggregate number of CVRs represented by such Global Security will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Security by the Security Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Security Registrar to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security, such other Global Security will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Security by the Security Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Security Registrar to reflect such increase.

(vii) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(A) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Securities and Definitive Securities upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 303 hereof or at the Security Registrar’s request.

(B) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security or to a Holder of a Definitive Security for any registration of transfer

or exchange, 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 similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Section 304 hereof).

(C) All Global Securities and Definitive Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Securities or Definitive Securities will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same rights, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Global Securities or Definitive Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(D) The Trustee will authenticate Global Securities and Definitive Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 303 hereof.

Section 306 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen CVRs.

If (a) any mutilated CVR is surrendered to the Trustee or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any CVR, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such CVR has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated CVR or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen CVR, a new CVR Certificate of like tenor and amount of CVRs, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen CVR has become or is to become due and payable within 15 days, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new CVR Certificate, pay such CVR on the Maturity Date, the Disposition Payment Date or the Default Payment Date, as the case may be.

Upon the issuance of any new CVRs under this Section 306, 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 CVR issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen CVR shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen CVR shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other CVRs duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 306 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 CVRs.

Section 307 Presentation of CVR Certificate.

Payment of any amounts on the CVRs shall be made only upon presentation by the Holder thereof at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose. Such payment shall be made in Cash. The Holder of the CVRs shall furnish to the Company such forms, certificates, or other information as the Company may request to establish the legal entitlement of such Holder to an exemption from withholding taxes. In the event the Company does not receive such forms, certificates, or other evidence establishing a Holder’s legal entitlement to exemption from withholding tax, then all payments and disbursements to be made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the CVRs shall be reduced by and subject to withholding taxes. The Company shall have no obligation to reimburse, equalize or compensate a Holder or other person for withholding taxes.

Section 308 Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any CVR, the Trustee, the Security Registrar, any of their respective agents and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any CVR is registered as the absolute owner of such CVR for the purpose of receiving payment on such CVRs and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, the Security Registrar, any of their respective agents or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 309 Cancellation.

All CVRs surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any CVRs previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all CVRs so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No CVRs shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any CVRs cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled CVRs held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order.

Section 310 CUSIP Numbers.

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

ARTICLE IV.

THE TRUSTEE

Section 401 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) With respect to the Holders of CVRs issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the CVRs and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default with respect to the CVRs has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(b) In the absence of bad faith on its part, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, 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 Agreement; but 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 be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Agreement.

(c) No provision of this Agreement 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:

(i) this Subsection (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section;

(ii) 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;

(iii) no provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and

(iv) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders pursuant to Section 809 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 Agreement.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

Section 402 Certain Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Sections 315(a) through 315(d) and Section 401 hereof:

(a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

(c) whenever in the administration of this Agreement the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;

(d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Agreement, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate number of the CVRs then Outstanding; provided that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand;

(g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

(h) the permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty and the Trustee shall be liable for its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; and

(i) except for (i) a default under Section 801(a) and (ii) any other event of which the Trustee has “actual knowledge,” which event, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or event unless specifically notified in writing of such event by the Company or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate number of CVRs Outstanding; as used herein, the term “actual knowledge” means the actual fact or statement of knowing, without any duty to make any investigation with regard thereto.

No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Section 403 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of CVRs.

The recitals contained herein and in the CVRs, except the Trustee’s certificates 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 or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the CVRs. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of CVRs or the proceeds thereof.

Section 404 May Hold CVRs.

The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of CVRs, and, subject to Sections 407 and 401, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

Section 405 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.

Section 406 Compensation, Reimbursement and Indemnification of the Trustee.

The Company agrees:

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

(c) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, including the enforcement of this Section 406.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default specified in Section 801(c) or 801(d) occurs, the reasonable expenses and the compensation for services (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

Section 407 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

The Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of time provided for therein. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 408 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority and, to the extent there is such an institution eligible and willing to serve, having an office or agency in the City of New York. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 409 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 410.

(b) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of

such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by (i) the Company, by a Board Resolution or, (ii) an Act of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding CVRs, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 407 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a CVR for at least six months,

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 408 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (ii) the Holder of any CVR who has been a bona fide Holder of a CVR for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding CVRs delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 410, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of the CVRs and so accepted appointment, the Holder of any CVR who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of CVRs as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Company fails to send such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

Section 410 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

Section 411 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any CVRs shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the CVRs so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such CVRs; and such certificate shall be fully effective, provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

ARTICLE V.

HOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY

Section 501 Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders.

The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, at such times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and the addresses of the Holders as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that, if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar, no such list need be furnished.

Section 502 Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders.

(a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 501 and the names and addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its

capacity as Security Registrar. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 501 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

(b) If three or more Holders (hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a CVR for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the CVRs and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application at its election, either:

(i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 502(a), or

(ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 502(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Holders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.

If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 502(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

(c) Every Holder of CVRs, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance with Section 502(b), regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 502(b).

Section 503 Reports by Trustee.

Within 60 days after May 15 of each year, commencing with the May 15 occurring after the initial issuance of CVRs hereunder, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Holders of CVRs, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, and to the Company a brief report dated as of such July 15 which satisfies the requirements of Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

(b) file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants of this Agreement as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations.

The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any amendment pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Company shall mail a notice thereof by first class mail to the Holders of CVRs at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register, setting forth in general terms the substance of such amendment. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment.

The Company will duly and punctually pay the amounts, if any, in the manner provided for in Section 307 on the CVRs in accordance with the terms of the CVRs and this Agreement.

Section 702 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

As long as any of the CVRs remain Outstanding, the Company will maintain an office or agency where CVRs may be presented or surrendered for payment. The Company also will

maintain an office or agency (i) where CVRs may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and (ii) where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the CVRs and this Agreement may be served. The Company hereby initially designates the office of the Trustee at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (Attention: Corporate Trust Services), as the office or agency of the Company where CVRs may be presented for payment, and such offices of the Trustee as the office or agency where CVRs may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where such notices or demands may be served, in each case, unless the Company shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at such offices of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside of the City of New York) where the CVRs may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations as set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

Section 703 Money for CVR Payments to Be Held in Trust.

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before the Maturity Date, the Disposition Payment Date or the Default Payment Date, as the case may be, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the amounts, if any, so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the CVRs, it will, on or before the Maturity Date, the Disposition Payment Date or the Default Payment Date, as the case may be, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum in same day funds sufficient to pay the amount, if any, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such amount, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of such action or any failure so to act.

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 (A) such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment of any amount payable on CVRs in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and (B) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the CVRs) to make any payment on the CVRs when the same shall be due and payable.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment on any CVRs and remaining unclaimed for one year after the Maturity Date, the Disposition Payment Date or the Default Payment Date, as the case may be, shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such CVR shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease.

Section 704 Certain Purchases and Sales.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, on any day during the period commencing 10 trading days before the Valuation Period with respect to the Maturity Date and ending on the Maturity Date: (1) offer to purchase, purchase, contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, grant any option, right or warrant to sell, or otherwise acquire or purchase, directly or indirectly, any shares of Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that acquires from another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates during the applicable periods from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a purchase or acquisition of Shares even if such Shares would be acquired by someone other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any purchase or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put option or put equivalent position or call option or call equivalent position) with respect to any of the Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Shares.

Section 705 Written Statement to Trustee.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII.

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

Section 801 Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Default.

“Event of Default”, with respect to CVRs, means any of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(a) default in the payment of all or any part of the amounts payable in respect of any of the CVRs as and when the same shall become due and payable following the Maturity Date, the Disposition Payment Date, or otherwise;

(b) material default in the performance, or material breach, of any material covenant or warranty of the Company relating to the CVRs (other than a covenant or warranty in respect of the CVRs a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), and continuance of such material default or breach for a period of 30 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% of the Outstanding CVRs, a written notice specifying such material default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

(c) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(d) the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

If an Event of Default described above occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, unless all of the CVRs shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% of the CVRs then Outstanding hereunder by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders) may declare the CVRs to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the Default Amount shall become immediately due and payable and, thereafter, shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate until payment is made to the Trustee.

The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the CVRs shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all amounts which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such overdue amount at the Default Interest Rate to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be

sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and if any and all Events of Default under this Agreement, other than the nonpayment of the amounts which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority of all the CVRs then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to the CVRs and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereof.

Section 802 Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt.

The Company covenants that in case default shall be made in the payment of all or any part of the CVRs when the same shall have become due and payable; whether at the Maturity Date, the Disposition Payment Date, the Default Payment Date or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the CVRs the whole amount, in Cash, that then shall have become due and payable on all CVRs (with interest from the date due and payable to the date of such payment upon the overdue amount at the Default Interest Rate); and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith.

In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon such CVRs and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon such CVRs, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the CVRs under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or its property or such other obligor, or in case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the CVRs, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any CVRs shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount owing and unpaid in respect of the CVRs, 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 reasonable

compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the CVRs, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor;

(b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings; and

(c) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts receivable with respect to the claims of the Holders and of the Trustee on their behalf and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 406.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the CVRs or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Agreement, or under any of the CVRs, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the CVRs or the production thereof at any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders.

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

Section 803 Application of Proceeds.

Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of any CVRs shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee upon presentation of the several CVRs in respect of which monies have been collected and stamping (or otherwise

noting) thereon the payment in exchange for the presented CVRs if only partially paid or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses in respect of which monies have been collected, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys and of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 406;

SECOND: To the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the CVRs, with interest at the Default Interest Rate on all such amounts, and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the CVRs, then to the payment of such amounts without preference or priority of any CVR over any other CVR, ratably to the aggregate of such amounts due and payable; and

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

Section 804 Suits for Enforcement.

In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Agreement or by law.

Section 805 Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 806 Limitations on Suits by Holders.

No Holder of any CVR shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of this Agreement to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% of the CVRs then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered

to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 809; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every CVR with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of CVRs shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provision of this Agreement to effect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holder of CVRs, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of CVRs. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 807 Unconditional Right of Holders to Institute Certain Suits.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement and any provision of any CVR, the right of any Holder of any CVR to receive payment of the amounts payable in respect of such CVR on or after the respective due dates expressed in such CVR, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 808 Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default.

Except as provided in Section 806, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders 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 now 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.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 806, every power and remedy given by this Agreement or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

Section 809 Control by Holders.

The Holders of a majority of the CVRs at the time Outstanding 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 with respect to the CVRs by this Agreement; provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Agreement; and provided further that (subject to the provisions of Section 401) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the

Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the CVRs not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 401) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders.

Nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by Holders.

Section 810 Waiver of Past Defaults.

Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the CVRs as provided in Section 801, in the case of a default or an Event of Default specified in clause (b), (c) or (d) of Section 801, the Holders of a majority of all the CVRs then Outstanding may waive any such default or Event of Default, and its consequences, except a default in respect of a covenant or provisions hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each CVR affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the CVRs shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 811 Trustee to Give Notice of Default, but May Withhold in Certain Circumstances.

The Trustee shall transmit to the Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Security Register, notice by mail of all defaults which have occurred, such notice to be transmitted within 45 days after the occurrence thereof unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “default” or “defaults” for the purposes of this Section being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default); provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the amounts payable in respect of any of the CVRs, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a

trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 812 Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs.

All parties to this Agreement agree, and each Holder of any CVR by his 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 Agreement 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 or the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply 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% of the CVRs Outstanding or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of any CVR on or after the due date expressed in such CVR.
