ARTICLE 2
NOTES

Section 2.01. Designation Amount and Issue of Notes. The Notes shall be designated as “5.00% Dollar-Denominated Convertible Subordinated Notes due May 15, 2014.” Upon the execution of this Indenture, and from time to time thereafter, Notes may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver Notes upon a written order of the Company, such order signed by two Officers or by an Officer and either an Assistant Treasurer of the Company or any Assistant Secretary of the Company, without any further action by the Company hereunder.

The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited; provided that upon initial issuance (including any issuance upon exercise of the Initial Purchasers’ option set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement), the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding shall not exceed $229,000,000, except as provided in Section 2.06. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of Notes, issue additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) from time to time in the future with the same terms and the same CUSIP number as the Notes originally issued under this Indenture (including any issuance upon exercise of the Initial Purchasers’ option set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement) (the “Initial Notes”) in an unlimited principal amount, provided that such Additional Notes must be part of the same issue as and fungible with the Initial Notes for United States federal income tax purposes. The Initial Notes and any such Additional Notes will constitute a single series of debt securities, and in circumstances in which this Indenture provides for the Holders of Notes to vote or take any action, the Holders of Initial Notes and the Holders of any such Additional Notes will vote or take that action as a single class.

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

Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required by the Custodian, the

Depositary or as may be required for the Notes to be tradable on any market existing or developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, or otherwise contemplated by Section 2.05(b), all of the Notes, other than Affiliate Notes, will be represented by one or more Notes in global form registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary (a “Global Note”). The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Note shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depositary.

Except as provided in Section 2.05(b), beneficial owners of a Global Note shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered Holders of such Global Note.

Any Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect redemptions, repurchases, exchanges, or transfers permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal of, interest on and premium, if any, on any Global Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note.

Notes originally offered and sold by the Initial Purchasers to Affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate Notes”) will be issued in the form of one or more certificated notes in definitive registered form, without interest coupons (“Definitive Notes”). Each Affiliate Note shall be issued with the Affiliate Legend, set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. Upon such issuance, the Note Registrar shall register such Affiliate Notes in the name of the beneficial owner or owners of such Note (or the nominee of such beneficial owner or owners) and deliver the certificates for such Affiliate Notes to the respective beneficial owner or owners (or the nominee of such beneficial owner or owners). A Note initially issued as an Affiliate Note will bear the Affiliate Legend set forth in Exhibit A and be certificated only as a Definitive Note (and not as or with a Global Note) until it ceases to be a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, unless otherwise agreed by the Company (with written notice thereof to the Trustee).

Section 2.03. Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest. The Notes shall be issuable in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, subject to Section 2.05(b) and Section

2.05(c). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of the Note attached as Exhibit A hereto (which date shall be the Issue Date in the case of the Initial Notes and in no event shall be earlier than the Issue Date). Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Note Register at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Record Date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Note or portion thereof surrendered for conversion during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Record Date for any interest payment date to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable interest payment date must be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount being converted; provided, however, that no such payment need be made (1) if a Holder converts its Notes in connection with a Change of Control and the Company has specified a Designated Event Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the related interest payment date, (2) in respect of conversions that occur after the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date or (3) with respect to any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. Interest shall be payable at the office of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes in the City of New York, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Company shall pay interest (i) on any Notes in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Note Register; provided, however, that a Holder of any Notes in certificated form in the aggregate principal amount of more than $5.0 million may specify by written notice to the Company that it pay interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Noteholder in such notice, or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest shall accrue thereon. The term “Record Date” with respect to any interest payment date shall mean the May 1 or November 1 preceding the applicable May 15 or November 15 interest payment date, respectively.

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any May 15 or November 15 (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder registered as such on the relevant Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than twenty-five (25) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall

consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than fifteen (15) calendar days and not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment (unless, the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special Record Date therefor to be sent by electronic transmission or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such special Record Date (unless, the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b) of this Section 2.03.

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

Section 2.04. Execution and Authentication of Notes. The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of an Officer. Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually or by facsimile by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.11), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

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

execution of such Note, shall be the proper Officers, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.

The Company shall deliver executed Notes to the Trustee with such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as the Trustee may require and a written order directing the Trustee to authenticate the Notes for issuance.

Payment of the fees and expenses of Trustee’s counsel shall be a condition precedent to authentication of the Notes.

Section 2.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Note Register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonably prompt period of time. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars in accordance with Section 4.02.

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

Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

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

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

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

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

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (1) the Depositary (x) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and in each case a successor Depositary has not been appointed by the Company within ninety (90) calendar days or (2) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in writing that it no longer wishes to have all the Notes represented by Global Notes. Any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (1) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part and any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (2) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Company. Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be a Global Note; provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note.

(iii) Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be issued in Definitive Notes, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Note or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depository shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any Global Note to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee, as Note Registrar. With regard to any Global Note to be exchanged in part, either such Global Note shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as Custodian for the Depository or its nominee with respect to such Global Note, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery the Note issuable on such exchange to or upon the written order of the Depository or an authorized representative thereof.

(iv) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (ii) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes.

(v) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.

registration requirements of the Securities Act and (5) in the case of any transfer of an Affiliate Note, a letter from the transferee in substantially the form of Exhibit B and such certifications, information and legal opinions as the Company may reasonably require to confirm that such Note, after giving effect to such transfer, is not a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act, no longer required to bear the Affiliate Legend, then the Trustee shall cancel or cause to be canceled such Definitive Note and concurrently therewith shall increase the aggregate principal amount of the Global Note by the same aggregate principal amount as the Definitive Note canceled; provided, that in the case of any transfer of an Affiliate Note to a Person taking delivery thereof as a beneficial interest in a Global Note, any such transfer shall be made only pursuant either (i) in a transaction complying with Rule 144 or (ii) pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement, such effectiveness to be certified by the Company to the Trustee or (iii) to Persons who agree to be bound by the restrictions applicable to such Holders for so long as such transferred securities constitutes “restricted securities.” In the case of a transfer to which clause 4 or clause 5 applies, the Note Registrar will not effect such transfer until the Company has confirmed to the Note Registrar that it has received all such certificates, other information and/or legal opinions as it has reasonably requested.

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

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

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

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Notes in certificated form, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Notes in certificated form. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Notes in certificated form and thereupon any or all temporary Notes may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes in certificated form. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same

benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Notes in certificated form authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08. Cancellation of Notes. All Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, repurchase, exchange, conversion or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent to whom Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) or any conversion agent to whom the Notes may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”), which in each case shall initially be The Bank of New York Mellon, or any Note Registrar, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it and no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption, repurchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.09. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

If, as a result of a Redomiciliation (as defined below) by the Company, any amounts are required to be so withheld or deducted, the Company will pay such additional amounts as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Holders of the Notes after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts which would otherwise have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the absence of such withholding or deduction (“Additional Amounts”); except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any Note:

(i) presented for payment by or on behalf of a Holder or a beneficial owner of a Holder who is liable for such taxes or duties in respect of such Note by

reason of his having some connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein other than the mere holding of such Note; or

(ii) presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined below) except to the extent that the Holder thereof would have been entitled to an Additional Amount on presenting the same for payment on such 30th day; or

(iii) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to EC Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or

(iv) presented for payment by or on behalf of a Holder who would be able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note to another Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union; or

(v) presented for payment by or on behalf of a Holder who would not be liable or subject to the withholding or deduction by making a declaration of non-residence or other similar claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority.

As used herein, the “Relevant Date” means the date on which such payment first becomes due, except that, if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been duly received by the Paying Agent on or prior to such due date, “Relevant Date” means the date on which the full amount of such moneys have been so received.

The Company will (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Company will use all reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such taxes and will provide such certified copies to each Holder. The Company will attach to each certified copy a certificate stating (x) that the amount of withholding taxes evidenced by the certified copy was paid in connection with payments in respect of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding and (y) the amount of such withholding taxes paid per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Copies of such documentation will be available for inspection during ordinary business hours at the office of the Trustee by the Holders of the Notes upon request and will be made available at the offices of the Paying Agent.

At least 30 days prior to the Relevant Date with respect to a payment, if the Company will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Each such Officer’s Certificate shall be relied upon until receipt of a further Officer’s Certificate addressing such matters.

Wherever in this Indenture or the Notes there are mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Notes, interest, or any other amount payable on or with respect to the Notes, such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this Section 4.01 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain an office or agency in the United States, which shall initially be The City of New York, New York, where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or for conversion, redemption or repurchase and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. As of the date of this Indenture, such office shall be the Corporate Trust Office and, at any other time, at such other address as the Trustee may designate from time to time by notice to the Company. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency not designated or appointed by the Trustee. 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 the Corporate Trust Office.

The Company may also from time to time designate co-registrars and one or more offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

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

Section 6.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of the principal of (including repurchase price upon repurchase pursuant to Article 3), premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, (ii) a failure by the Company to convert any Notes as required by this Indenture, (iii) a default in the payment of the repurchase price on the Designated Event Repurchase Date pursuant to Article 3 or (iv) a default in respect of a covenant or provisions hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding or each Note affected thereby.

Section 6.09. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.09 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (including the repurchase price upon repurchase pursuant to Article 3), or interest on any Note on or after the due date expressed in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note in accordance with the provisions of Article 13.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture,

and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs.

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

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

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

(ii) in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

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

(f) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless the Trustee has otherwise received written notice thereof;

(g) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default with respect to a payment default under Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b) hereunder unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or, with respect to any other Event of Default, unless the Trustee shall have been notified in writing of such Event of Default by the Company or a Holder of Notes;

Section 7.05. Monies to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, all monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received.

Section 7.08. Conflicting Interests of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

Section 7.11. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amount then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property and funds held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless, at the time of such acceptance, such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09.

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 (including any trust created by this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that in the case of any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or any authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force that is provided in the Notes or in this Indenture; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

The holding of Notes shall be proved by the registry of such Notes or by a certificate of the Note Registrar.

Section 8.03. Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any exchange agent, any Conversion Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name such Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Note

Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of (including the repurchase price upon repurchase pursuant to Article 3), premium, if any, and interest on such Note, for exchange or conversion of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any exchange agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Note.

Section 8.04. Company-owned Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, or whether a quorum is present at a meeting of Holders of Notes, Notes which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes which a Responsible Officer knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, any other obligor on the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons, and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 8.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9 shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect, provided that this Section 9.03 shall not require such supplemental indenture or the Trustee to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act prior to the time, if ever, such qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, nor shall it constitute any admission or acknowledgment by any party to such supplemental indenture that any such qualification is required prior to the time, if ever, such qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of Notes shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder, subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

Section 10.01. Company May Consolidate on Certain Terms. Nothing contained in this Indenture or in the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person or Persons (whether or not affiliated with the Company), or successive consolidations or mergers in which either the Company will be the continuing entity or the Company or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the property of the Company, to any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company); provided, however, that the following conditions are met:

(a) the Company shall be the continuing entity and shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom, Switzerland or Ireland, or the successor entity (if other than the Company) formed by or resulting from any consolidation or merger or which shall have received the transfer of assets is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom, Switzerland or Ireland and expressly assumes payment of the principal of and interest on all of the outstanding Notes and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions in this Indenture;

(b) if the Company effects a Redomiciliation, the Company will provide at least 60 days’ prior written notice (the “Redomiciliation Notice”) of such proposed Redomiciliation to the Trustee and Holders, which Redomiciliation Notice will specify whether Additional Amounts will apply to any payments on the Notes following such Redomiciliation;

(c) such transaction will not result in a “significant modification” of the Notes within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations § 1.1001-3(e);

(f) an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel covering these conditions shall be delivered to the Trustee.

“Redomiciliation” of any Person, means any transaction or event or series of transactions or events (whether by voluntary election, merger, consolidation, binding share conversion, reclassification, sale or transfer of property or assets, or otherwise) which would result in such Person’s or such Person’s successor being or becoming a tax resident of the United Kingdom, Switzerland or Ireland.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

ARTICLE 11
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 11.01. Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of exchange, registration of transfer or conversion of Notes herein expressly provided for and except as further provided below), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when (a) either: (1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 11.04 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company as provided in Section 11.04) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (2) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, whether at the Maturity Date or Designated Event Repurchase Date or upon conversion or otherwise and the Company, in the case of clause (1) or (2) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, a Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates), as applicable, as trust funds in trust cash and/or shares of Common Stock (as applicable under the terms of the Indenture) in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and payable) or to the Maturity Date, or Designated Event Repurchase Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that there shall not exist, on the date of such deposit, a default or Event of Default; provided, further, that on the date of such deposit there shall not be any Credit Agreement Debt outstanding; provided, further, that such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or to which the Company is bound; (b) the Company

Section 11.02. Deposited Monies to Be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 11.04, all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05 shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Noteholders, and such monies shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company if acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the particular Notes for the payment or repurchase of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal, premium, if any, and interest. All moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05 (and held by it or any Paying Agent) for the payment of Notes subsequently converted shall be returned to the Company upon request.

After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall be relieved of all liability with respect to such money.

Section 11.05. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 11.02 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 until such time as the Trustee or the

Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 11.02; provided that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 13
CONVERSION OF NOTES

Section 13.01. Right to Convert.

(a) Subject to the restrictions on ownership of shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 13.11 and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Holder of any Notes not previously repurchased shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert its Notes, or any portion thereof which is a multiple of $1,000, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted divided by $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Conversion Rate.

(b) A Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Designated Event Repurchase Notice, exercising such Holder’s right to require the Company to repurchase such Note pursuant to Section 3.02 may be converted only if such Designated Event Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.04 prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the second Business Day immediately prior to the Designated Event Repurchase Date.

(c) A Holder of Notes is not entitled to any rights of a Holder of Common Stock until such Holder has converted its Notes and received upon exchange thereof shares of Common Stock.

Section 13.02. Exercise of Conversion Right; No Adjustment for Interest or Dividends. In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any Note in certificated form, the Company must receive at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, New York or, at the option of such Holder, the Corporate Trust Office, such Note with the original or facsimile of the form entitled “Conversion Notice” on the reverse thereof, duly completed and signed manually or by facsimile, together with such Notes duly endorsed for transfer, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by this Section 13.02. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued, and shall be accompanied by transfer or similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 13.06.

To convert the Notes, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the Conversion Notice on the reverse of the Note (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent at the office maintained by the Conversion Agent for such purpose, (b) with respect to Notes that are in certificated form, surrender the Notes to the Conversion Agent, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. The date on which the Holder satisfies all such requirements shall be deemed to be the date on which the applicable Notes shall have been tendered for conversion.

Notes in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Designated Event Repurchase Notice may be converted only if such notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of Section 3.04.

Upon surrender of a Note for conversion by a Holder, such Holder shall deliver to the Company cash equal to the amount that the Company is required to deduct and withhold under applicable law in connection with the conversion; provided, however, if the Holder does not deliver such cash, the Company may deduct and withhold from the amount of consideration otherwise deliverable to such Holder the amount required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law.

As promptly as practicable (but no later than the fifth Business Day following the Conversion Date), after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above, subject to compliance with any restrictions on transfer if shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in a name other than that of the Noteholder (as if such transfer were a transfer of the Note or Notes (or portion thereof) so exchanged), and in accordance with the time periods set forth in this Article 13, the Company shall issue and shall deliver to such Noteholder at the office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Note or portion thereof as determined by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Sections 13.01 and 13.10 and (ii) a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion, calculated by the Company as provided in Section 13.03. The certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock

into which the Notes are converted (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) will be delivered to a converting holder after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above, in accordance with this Section 13.02 and, if applicable, 13.10.

Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Note (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in this Section 13.02 have been satisfied as to such Note (or portion thereof) (the “Conversion Date”), and the Person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on said date the holder of record of the shares represented thereby.

Any Note or portion thereof surrendered for conversion during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date for any interest payment date to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable interest payment date shall be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount being converted; provided that no such payment need be made (1) if a Holder converts its Notes in connection with a Designated Event and the Company has specified a Designated Event Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the related interest payment date, (2) in respect of conversions that occur after the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date or (3) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. Except as otherwise provided above in this Article 13, no payment or other adjustment shall be made for interest accrued on any Note converted or for dividends on any shares issued upon the conversion of such Note as provided in this Article 13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Notes submitted for conversion in connection with a Change of Control, such Notes shall continue to represent the right to receive the Additional Change of Control Shares, if any, payable pursuant to Section 13.10, until such Additional Change of Control Shares are so paid.

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

Upon the conversion of a Note, the accrued but unpaid interest attributable to the period from the issue date of the Note to the Conversion Date, with respect to the converted Note, shall not be deemed canceled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of shares of Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any in lieu of fractional shares) in conversion for the Note being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.

In case any Note of a denomination greater than $100,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, and subject to Section 2.04, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to the Holder, a

new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note.

Section 13.03. Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip certificates representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Note or Notes, the Company shall make an adjustment and payment therefor in cash to the Holder of Notes at a price equal to the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date.

Section 13.04. Conversion Rate. The initial Conversion Rate for the Notes is 268.8172 shares of Common Stock per each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13.05 and Section 13.10 (herein called the “Conversion Rate”).

Section 13.05. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. For purposes of this Section 13.05, references to the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock shall treat as outstanding the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(a) If the Company issues the Common Stock or other capital stock as a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination of the Common Stock, or if FA Sub 2 Limited does any of the foregoing with respect to the Exchangeable Shares, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:


CR₁	=	CR₀ x OS₁/OS₀

where

CR₁	=	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination;

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination; and

OS₁	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective on the date that is immediately after (x) the ex-dividend date for such dividend or other distribution or (y) the date

on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (a) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock or if FA Sub 2 Limited distributes to all holders of its Exchangeable Shares, any rights, warrants or options entitling such holders for a period of not more than 60 days after the date of issuance thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Exchangeable Shares for a period of not more than 60 days after the date of issuance thereof, in either case at an exercise price per share of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalent less than the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula (provided that the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the extent that such rights, warrants or options are not exercised prior to their expiration):


CR₁	=	CR₀ x (OS₀ + X)/(OS₀ + Y)

where

CR₁	=	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to ex-dividend date for such distribution;

X	=	the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants or options; and

Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants or options and (B) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for the issuance of such rights, warrants or options.

For purposes of this paragraph (b), in determining whether any rights, warrants or options entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than the applicable Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, warrants or options and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. If any right, warrant or option described in this paragraph (b) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant or option had not been so issued.

(c) If the Company distributes shares of capital stock or if FA Sub 2 Limited distribute to all holders of its Exchangeable Shares, shares of capital stock, evidences of Indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company to all holders of Common Stock or of Exchangeable Shares, excluding:

(A) dividends, distributions, rights, warrants or options referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) above;

(B) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and

then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:


CR₁	=	CR₀ x SP₀/(SP₀ — FMV)

where

CR₁	=	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

SP₀	=	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the earlier of the record date or the ex-dividend date for such distribution; and

FMV	=	the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalent on the earlier of the record date or the ex-dividend date for such distribution.

An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall become effective on the ex-dividend date for such distribution.

If the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the 10th Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off will be adjusted based on the following formula:


CR₁	=	CR₀ x (FMV+ MP)/MP

where

CR₁	=	the new Conversion Rate immediately after the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off;


CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off;

FMV	=	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off; and

MP	=	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off.

An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph will occur on the 10th Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the 10 Trading Days following the effective date of any Spin-Off, references within this paragraph (c) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the Applicable Conversion Rate.

If any such dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (c) is declared but not paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(d) If the Company makes to all holders of outstanding Common Stock, or FA Sub 2 Limited makes to all holders of Exchangeable Shares, any cash dividend or distribution (excluding any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or FA Sub 2 Limited, as applicable, and any quarterly tax distributions attributable to its Exchangeable Shares required to be paid under Regulation 11(a) of the Memorandum of Association of FA Sub 2 Limited, on the basis of estimated income taxes attributable to the holders thereof in respect of such shares), the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:


CR₁	=	CR₀ x SP/(SP — C)

where

CR₁	=	the new Conversion Rate immediately after the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

SP	=	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the earlier of the record date or the day prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution; and

C	=	the quotient of (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate amount in cash that the Company distributes to holders of the Common Stock


				and (B) an amount (not less than zero) equal to the aggregate amount in cash that FA Sub 2 Limited distributes to holders of the Exchangeable Shares in excess of the required quarterly tax distributions attributable to the Exchangeable Shares, divided by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to ex-dividend date for such distribution.

An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall become effective on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (d) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock or the Exchangeable Shares of FA Sub 2 Limited, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalent exceeds the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”), the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:


CR₁	=	CR₀ x (AC + (SP₁ x OS₁))/(SP₁ x OS₀)

where

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect on the second day immediately following the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect on the day immediately following the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

AC	=	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) paid or payable for the Common Stock or the Exchangeable Shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

OS₁	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares pursuant to such tender or exchange offer); and

SP₁	=	the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

If the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made.

Any adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall become effective on the second day immediately following the Expiration Time. If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made.

(f) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries redeem, repurchase or otherwise make a payment in respect of all of any class of Company Warrants and, together with all previous payments in respect of the Company Warrants for which the Conversion Rate for the Notes was not adjusted, the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment exceeds, on a per warrant basis, the arithmetic average of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Public Stockholders’ Warrants on the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the day of such redemption, repurchase or other payment, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:


CR₁	=	CR₀ x (SP₀ x OS₀) / (((SP₀ x OS₀) — AC) + (W₀ x WP₀))

where

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the ex-dividend date for such redemption, repurchase or other payment in respect of the Company Warrants;

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such redemption, repurchase or other payment in respect of the Company Warrants;

AC	=	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) paid or payable in such redemption, repurchase or other payment (together with the consideration paid in all previous payments for which the Conversion Rate for the Notes was not adjusted) in respect of the Company Warrants;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such redemption, repurchase or other payment in respect of the Company Warrants;

SP₀	=	the Closing Sale Price of Common Stock on the day immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such redemption, repurchase or other payment in respect of the Company Warrants;

W₀	=	the number of Company Warrants redeemed, repurchased or in respect of which an applicable payment is made; and

WP₀	=	the arithmetic average of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Public Stockholders’ Warrants on the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the ex-payment date for such redemption, repurchase or other payment.

If the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) above, in no event will the Conversion Rate exceed 322.5806 (the “Maximum Conversion Rate”). The Maximum Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in the same manner and for the same events as the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) above.

(h) If the Company adopts a stockholder’s rights plan while any Notes remain outstanding, Holders of Notes will receive, upon a conversion of Notes, in addition to Common Stock, rights under such stockholder rights plan unless, prior to conversion, the rights have expired, terminated or been redeemed or unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock. If the rights provided for in the stockholder’s rights plan adopted by the Company have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan so that Holders of Notes would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of any Common Stock that the Company delivers upon conversion of Notes, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed, to all holders of Common Stock, capital stock, evidences of Indebtedness or other assets or property pursuant to paragraph (c) above, subject to readjustment upon the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the rights.

(i) In addition to the adjustments pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (f) above, the Company may increase the Conversion Rate in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of capital stock (or rights to acquire Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. The Company may also, from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period if the Company has determined that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company. If the Company makes such determination, it will be conclusive and the Company will mail to Holders of the Notes a notice of the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect in accordance with applicable law.

(j) The Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate in the dividend, distribution or transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate at the same time as holders of the Common Stock and as if such Holders of Notes owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the product of the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date or effective date for the relevant dividend, distribution or transaction, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such Holder and the denominator of which is one thousand ($1,000).

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in addition to the other events set forth herein on account of which no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted for:

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

(ii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director, trustee or consultant benefit plan, employee agreement or arrangement or program of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or pursuant to any incentive compensation plan for individuals who are direct or indirect limited partners of GLG Partners LP or GLG Partners Services LP for services provided to the Company or its Subsidiaries;

(iii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

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

(v) accumulated and unpaid dividends or distributions; and

(vi) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or the payment of cash upon redemption thereof.

(l) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate will be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate. If the adjustment is not made because the adjustment does not change the Conversion Rate by at least 1%, then the adjustment that is not made will be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. All required calculations will be made to the nearest cent or 1/1000th of a share, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company fixes a Withdrawal Date for the Notes in accordance with Section 13.13, then all adjustments not previously made will apply to any conversion of Notes occurring on or after the applicable Withdrawal Notice Date.

(m) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company or the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the Holders of the Notes (with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent) within 20 Business Days of the Effective Date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(n) For purposes of this Section 13.05, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

(o) If any of the following events occur, namely any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination to which Section 13.05(a) applies), any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another Person, or a binding share exchange in respect of all of the outstanding Common Stock or any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to any other Person, in each case as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or assets (“Reference Property”) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then:

(i) the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Company and the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing for the conversion of the Notes as set forth in this Indenture into the Reference Property. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 13.05; and

(ii) In the event a supplemental indenture should be executed pursuant to this Section 13.05, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise the Reference Property after any such event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and the Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder of Notes within twenty (20) Business Days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. If the provisions of this paragraph apply to any event or occurrence, then the provisions of Section 13.05(b) through Section 13.05(h) shall not apply to such event or occurrence.

(p) Notwithstanding this Section 13.05 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if any Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective, or any ex-dividend date for any issuance, dividend or distribution (relating to a required Conversion Rate adjustment) occurs, during the period beginning on, and including, the open of business on a Conversion Date and ending on, and including, the close of business on the record date for such issuance, dividend or distribution, the Board of Directors shall make adjustments to the Conversion Rate and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes as are necessary or appropriate to effect the intent of this

Section 13.05 and the other provisions of this Article 13 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13.05(p) shall apply in lieu of the adjustment or other term that would otherwise be applicable.

Section 13.06. Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates, if any, on conversion of Notes shall be made without charge to the converting Noteholder for any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax in respect of the issue thereof. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the holder of any Note converted, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 13.07. Reservation of Shares, Shares to Be Fully Paid; Compliance with Governmental Requirements; Listing of Common Stock. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Notes as required by this Indenture from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.

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

The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

The Company further covenants that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on the NYSE or any other national or regional securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes; provided that if the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system permit the Company to defer the listing of any Common Stock until the first conversion of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company covenants to list such the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or automated quotation system at such time.

Section 13.08. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of Notes to determine the Conversion Rate or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or

with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any capital stock, other securities or other assets or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 13. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 13.05 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of capital stock or other securities or other assets or property (including cash) receivable by Noteholders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 13.05 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

Section 13.09. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:

(a) the Company or FA Sub 2 Limited shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock or on the Exchangeable Shares that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 13.05; or

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

(c) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock or of the Exchangeable Shares (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock or of the Exchangeable Shares, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation, combination, merger or share exchange to which the Company or FA Sub 2 Limited is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or FA Sub 2 Limited; or

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

the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be sent to each holder of Notes at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, as

promptly as possible but in any event at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock or the Exchangeable Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

Section 13.10. Conversion Rate Adjustment After Change of Control.

(a) Subject to the provisions hereof, if a Noteholder elects to convert its Notes in connection with the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will increase the Applicable Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion (the “Additional Change of Control Shares”) as specified below; provided that the Additional Change of Control Shares will only be payable as set forth below. A Conversion of Notes will be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such a Change of Control if the Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent from and including the Effective Date of the Change of Control until the corresponding Designated Event Repurchase Date.

(b) The number of Additional Change of Control Shares will be determined by reference to the table in paragraph (e) below and is based on the date on which the relevant Change of Control transaction becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid per share of Common Stock in such transaction. If the holders of Common Stock receive only cash in the relevant Change of Control transaction, the Stock Price will equal the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock. In all other cases, the Stock Price will equal the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock on the ten consecutive Trading Days up to but excluding the Effective Date.

(c) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted pursuant to Section 13.05. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

(d) The number of Additional Change of Control Shares will be adjusted in the same manner and for the same events as the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 13.05.

(e) The following table sets forth the Stock Price and number of Additional Change of Control Shares issuable per $1,000 principal amount of Notes:


Effective Date	Stock Price
	$	3.10	$	3.25	$	3.50	$	3.75	$	4.00	$	5.00	$	5.58	$	6.00	$	7.00	$	8.00	$	9.00	$	10.00	$	11.00	$	12.00

(f) If the exact Stock Price and Effective Date are not set forth on the table above, then:

(i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Change of Control Shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Change of Control Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(ii) if the Stock Price is in excess of $12.00 per share of Common Stock (the “Make Whole Cap”), no Additional Change of Control Shares will be issued upon conversion of the Notes; and

(iii) if the Stock Price is less than $3.10 per share of Common Stock (the “Make Whole Floor”), no Additional Change of Control Shares will be issued upon conversion of the Notes.

The Make Whole Cap and Make Whole Floor shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted pursuant to Section 13.05. The adjusted Make Whole Cap or Make Whole Floor, as the case may be, shall equal the Make Whole Cap or Make Whole Floor, as the case may be, applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of the Notes pursuant to this Section 13.10 exceed the Maximum Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner and for the same events as the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 13.05.

Section 13.11. Ownership Limit.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, no Holder of Notes shall be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes to the extent that, as a result of a conversion of Notes by a Holder, any of the following (each, a “Regulatory Condition”) would be applicable such Holder; provided that the Company in its sole discretion has not previously delivered to the Trustee a prior written “Control Consent” (as defined below) with respect to such Holder:

(i) such Holder would, alone or together with any other Persons(s) with whom it is acting in concert hold, directly or indirectly, shares or voting rights in the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates then authorized by the Financial Services Authority (the “FSA”), in excess of a U.K. Control Threshold, where immediately prior to such conversion such holder (alone or in concert with others) did not meet the conditions of that particular U.K. Control Threshold. “U.K. Control Threshold” means any of the following, calculated according to the provisions of the U.K. Financial Services and Markets ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇: shares or voting power of 10%, 20%, 30% or 50%; shares or voting power as a result of which the Holder (alone or in concert with others) is able to exercise significant influence over the management of any FSA-authorized person; becoming a parent undertaking of an FSA-authorized person.

(ii) such Holder would, hold, directly or indirectly, shares or other interest in the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates then regulated or approved by the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority, in excess of an Ireland Control Threshold, where immediately prior to such conversion such holder did not hold, directly or indirectly, shares or other interest in excess of that particular Ireland Control Threshold. “Ireland Control Threshold” means any of the following: shares or other interest representing 10%, 20%, 33% or 50% of capital or voting rights in any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates then regulated or approved by the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority; or shares or other interest which, in the opinion of the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority, make it possible to control or exercise a significant influence over the management of a subsidiary or affiliate then regulated by the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority.

(iii) such Holder would, acting alone or together or otherwise with any group of persons, in the opinion of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (“CIMA”):

	(a)		“control” the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; or

	(b)		acquire (directly or indirectly) shares representing more than 10% of the Company’s share capital or more than 10% of the total voting rights of the Company’s shares or those of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates then subject to regulation by CIMA; or

(c)

cause any change of ownership of any direct or indirect parent of any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates regulated by CIMA, other than the Company;

where immediately prior to such conversion such holder (alone or with any group or persons) did not “control” the Company or hold more than 10% of the Company’s share capital or more than 10% voting rights in the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company then subject to regulation by CIMA.

(iv) such Holder would trigger an Additional Regulatory Condition that was effective at the effective time of the Conversion Notice, where immediately prior to such conversion such Additional Regulatory Condition did not apply to such Holder.

A “Control Consent” means a written consent that the Company, acting in its sole discretion, delivers to the Trustee under the Indenture consenting to a conversion of notes by a Holder that would, without such consent, trigger a Regulatory Condition.

The Company may, from time to time, enter into a supplemental indenture with the Trustee (without the consent of the holders) to add any Additional Regulatory Condition for which an Opinion of Counsel, delivered to the Trustee, states that such Additional Regulatory Condition satisfies the definition of Additional Regulatory Condition.

These restrictions on conversion of the Notes are without prejudice to any other rights with respect to securities of the Company.

(b) At the Maturity Date or upon earlier repurchase of the Notes or otherwise, and as otherwise required by law, the Company may deduct and withhold from the amount of consideration otherwise deliverable to the Holder the amount required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law.

Section 13.12. Calculation in Respect of Notes. Except as otherwise specifically stated herein or in the Notes, all calculations to be made in respect of the Notes shall be the obligation of the Company. All calculations made by the Company or its agent as contemplated pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Notes shall be made in good faith and be final and binding on the Notes and the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee, and the Conversion Agent, absent manifest error. The Company shall provide a schedule of calculations to the Trustee and to the Conversion Agent, and the Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the calculations by the Company without independent verification. Each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall forward calculations made by the Company to any Holder of Notes upon request.

Section 13.13. Withdrawal of Conversion Rights.

(a) If at any time after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock shall have exceeded 150% of the then

applicable Conversion Price on at least 20 Trading Days in any consecutive 30-Trading Day period, upon giving the notice described in Section 13.13(b), the Company may withdraw the Noteholders’ right to convert the Notes.

(b) In case the Company shall desire to withdraw the Noteholders’ conversion rights, it shall fix a date for withdrawal (“Withdrawal Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee, the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such withdrawal not fewer than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Withdrawal Date to the holders of Notes at their last addresses as the same appear on the Note register; provided, however, that if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the withdrawal of conversion rights to the Trustee. The notice of withdrawal shall be given the fifth Business Day following the last Trading Day of the 30 Trading Day period described in Section 13.13(a) above (“Withdrawal Notice Date”). The notice of withdrawal shall set forth a brief statement of the facts giving rise to the withdrawal of conversion rights and the Withdrawal Date. The Company may not give notice of withdrawal if a default in payment of interest on the Notes has occurred and is continuing. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Note shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for withdrawal of conversion rights of any other Note.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Notes in regard to proof of the holding of Notes and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Notes shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 8.03 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 8.01.

(b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Notes as provided in Section 14.02(b), in which case the Company or the Holders of Notes calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such series represented at the meeting.

(c) At any meeting, each Holder of a Note or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Note challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding.

The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Notes shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 14.02 and, if applicable, Section 14.04.

ARTICLE 15
SUBORDINATION

Section 15.01. Agreement to Subordinate. The Company agrees, and each holder of Notes by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, including the principal and interest on the Notes and all other obligations with respect to the Notes or the Indenture, including without limitation, any amounts received or receivable upon the exercise of rights of rescission or other rights of action, including claims for damages or otherwise (and including deposits with the Trustee following an Event of Default) is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 15, to the prior payment in full in cash of all of the Senior Indebtedness (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable directly by, the holders of Senior Indebtedness. The holders of the Notes agree that the Notes are unsecured and agree that neither they nor the Trustee shall accept any security from the Company or any Subsidiary unless and until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash or other consideration satisfactory to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness.

Section 15.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Company’s assets and liabilities:

(a) holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all obligations due in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (including interest accruing after, or which would accrue but for, the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Indebtedness, whether or not the claim for such interest would be allowed) before holders of Notes shall be entitled to receive any payment or other distribution of any kind or character (whether in cash, property or securities (other than by conversion under Article 13 hereof)) with respect to the Notes; and

(b) until all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, any distribution to which holders of Notes would be entitled but for this Article 15 shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness, as their interests may appear; and

(c) if any payment with respect to the Senior Indebtedness made prior to such proceeding is subsequently set aside, the Senior Indebtedness shall be reinstated to the extent of the amount set aside and the provisions of this Article 15 shall continue to apply thereto until the Senior Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 15.03. Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness.

(a) In the event of any default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, or any other payment obligation under any Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs or any other default on Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms (each such event, a “Payment Default”), then, until all such payments due in respect of such Designated Senior Indebtedness have been paid in full in cash or such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist and any acceleration thereof has been rescinded in writing; no distribution, payment or other transfer of assets by the Company or on its behalf (including, without limitation, a redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of the Notes, but not including delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes) from any source, of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, by set-off or otherwise, shall be made by the Company or on behalf of the Company with respect to the Notes or to purchase, redeem or otherwise retire any of the Notes (including any repurchase pursuant to the repurchase right of a holder pursuant to Article 3).

(b) In addition, (i) if there has occurred and is continuing under any Designated Senior Indebtedness, or any agreement pursuant to which such Designated Senior Indebtedness is issued, any default (other than a Payment Default), which default shall not have been cured or waived, giving the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness the right to declare such Designated Senior Indebtedness immediately due and payable (a “Non Payment Default”) and (ii) in the event that such Non Payment Default is a default under Designated Senior Indebtedness other than the Credit Agreement Debt, the Trustee shall have received written notice from one or more holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, or one or more representatives of such holder or holders (a “Payment Blockage Notice”), then, anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, no distribution, payment or other transfer of assets by the Company or on its behalf (including, without limitation, a redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of the Notes, but not including delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes) from any source, of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, by set-off or otherwise, in respect of the Notes, and no purchase, redemption or other retirement (including any repurchase pursuant to the repurchase right of a holder pursuant to Article 3) of the Notes, shall be made by or on behalf of the Company during the period (the “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing, in the case of a Non Payment Default under the Credit Agreement, on the date of such Non Payment Default, and otherwise, commencing on the date of receipt of the Payment Blockage Notice and, in either case, ending on the earlier of 179 calendar days after the commencement of such Payment Blockage Period, or the date on which such Non Payment Default is cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist; provided that if the Maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated, such Payment Blockage Period shall not end until such acceleration has been rescinded in writing or all payments due with respect to such Designated Senior Indebtedness have been paid in full in cash.

Notwithstanding the provisions contained in this Section 15.03(a) and 15.03(b) (but subject to Section 15.01), the Company may resume payments on the Notes in the case of either a Payment Default or a Non Payment Default, after the Designated Senior Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. No new Payment Blockage Period may start unless at least 90 days have elapsed during which no default with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness (or judicial proceeding with respect to such debt) has occurred or was continuing and in no event shall more than two Payment Blockage Notices become effective during any 365-day period. No default under Designated Senior Indebtedness that is a Non Payment Default that existed or was continuing on the date of commencement of the applicable Payment Blockage Period (and no judicial proceeding with respect to such Non Payment Default) shall be, or be made, the basis of a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default shall have been waived or cured or ceases to exist for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days (and provided that in no event shall more than two Payment Blockage Notices become effective during any 365-day period).

(c) In the event any judicial proceeding shall be pending with respect to any Payment Default or Non Payment Default with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness, then, anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, no payment on account of the principal of or interest on the Notes, and no repurchase or other acquisition of the Notes, shall be made by or on behalf of the Company.

Section 15.04. Acceleration of Notes. In the event of the acceleration of the Notes because of an Event of Default, the Company may not make any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any holder of Notes in respect of obligations with respect to Notes and may not purchase, redeem or otherwise retire (including any repurchase pursuant to the repurchase right of a holder pursuant to Article 3) from the Trustee or any holder of Notes any Notes until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or other consideration satisfactory to holders of Senior Indebtedness or such acceleration has been rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

If payment of the Notes is to be accelerated because of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in Section 6.01(g), (h) or (i)), the Company or the Trustee (based upon the contact information provided by the Company in writing from time to time) shall promptly notify holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness or the representatives of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration and, so long as any Credit Agreement Debt is outstanding any such acceleration will not be effective with respect to the Company and the Company may not pay the Notes, until the earlier of (i) an acceleration of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or (ii) five Business Days after the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement receives notice of such acceleration (it being understood that any payment or distribution on the Notes by the Company may only be made as and when permitted by this Article 15).

Section 15.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. In the event that the Trustee, the Paying Agent, any holder of Notes or any other person receives any payment or distribution of assets of the Company or any collateral security of any kind on or with respect to the Notes in contravention of any terms contained in this Indenture, whether in cash, property or securities, including, without limitation, by way of set-off or otherwise, before all Senior Indebtedness is

paid in full in cash, then such payment or distribution shall be held by the recipient in trust for the benefit of holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall be paid over and delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative(s), to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor, to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness; provided, that the foregoing shall apply to the Trustee only if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge (as determined in accordance with Section 7.02) that such payment or distribution is prohibited by this Indenture.

With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article 15, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of holders of Notes or the Company or any other person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 15, except if such payment or distribution is made as a result of the willful misconduct or negligence of the Trustee.

Section 15.06. Notice by Company. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any obligations with respect to the Notes or the purchase of any Notes by the Company to violate this Article 15, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article 15.

Section 15.07. Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness is indefeasibly paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, holders of Notes shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the holders of Notes have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article 15 to holders of Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to holders of Notes is not, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and holders of Notes, a payment by the Company on the Notes.

Section 15.08. Relative Rights. This Article 15 defines the relative rights of holders of Notes and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing contained in this Indenture shall otherwise:

(a) impair, as between the Company and holders of Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes in accordance with their terms;

(b) affect the relative rights of holders of Notes and creditors (other than with respect to Senior Indebtedness) of the Company, other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness; or

(c) prevent the Trustee or any holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies upon a default or Event of Default, subject to the notice requirements of Section 6.01 and to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to holders of Notes.

If the Company fails because of this Article 15 to pay principal of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a default or Event of Default.

Section 15.09. Subordination May Not Be Impaired. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or any holder of Notes or by the failure of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or any such holder to comply with this Indenture. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act by any such holder.

Section 15.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their representative(s).

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 15, the Trustee and the holders of Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 15.

Section 15.11. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Notes. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 15 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee (other than pursuant to Section 7.04), and the Trustee may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless a Responsible Officer shall have received at least two Business Days prior to the date of such payment or distribution written notice of facts that would cause such payment or distribution with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 15. Only the Company or the holder or representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness may give such notice.

Nothing contained in this Article 15 shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.06.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Note Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent may do the same with like rights.

Section 15.12. Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each holder of a Note by such holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 15, and appoints the Trustee to act as the holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes), its creditors or its property, at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the holders of any Senior Indebtedness or their representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the holders of the Notes.

Section 15.13. Article Applicable to Paying Agents. In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 15 shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee.

Section 15.14. Senior Indebtedness and Designated Senior Indebtedness Entitled to Rely. The holders of Senior Indebtedness and Designated Senior Indebtedness shall have the right to rely upon this Article 15, and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained in this Article 15 shall materially and adversely affect the rights of any holder of Credit Agreement Debt outstanding at the time of such amendment or modification unless the holders of such Credit Agreement Debt (or any group or representative thereof authorized to give a consent) shall have agreed in writing thereto.

Section 15.15. Permitted Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 15, the holders of Notes may receive and retain at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date (a) securities that are subordinated to at least the same extent as the Notes to (i) Senior Indebtedness and (ii) any securities issued in exchange for Senior Indebtedness and (b) following repayment of the Credit Agreement Debt in full in cash, payments and other distributions made from any trust created pursuant to Section 11.01.

Section 15.16. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company, or by any non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. All rights and interests under this Indenture of any holder of Senior Indebtedness and all agreements of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Notes under this Article 15 shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of any lack of validity or enforceability of any document or instrument relating to the Senior Indebtedness or any other

circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to or a discharge of the Trustee, the Company or such holder.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, without incurring responsibility to the holders of the Notes and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 15 or the obligations hereunder of the holders of the Notes to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following, subject to any rights of the Company in respect thereof: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other person.

Section 15.17. Certain Conversions Deemed Payment. For the purposes of this Article 15 only, (i) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of Notes in accordance with Article 13 shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution or other transfer of assets with respect to the Notes or on account of the principal of or premium or interest on Notes or on account of the purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of Notes, and (ii) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except in satisfaction of fractional shares pursuant to Section 13.03), property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of a Note shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of such Note.

For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by the authenticating agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee” and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or in the Notes for the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 7.09.

Any corporation into which any authenticating agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any authenticating agent, shall be the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section 16.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such successor corporation.

Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 16.11, the Trustee shall either promptly appoint a successor authenticating agent or itself assume the duties and obligations of the former authenticating agent under this Indenture and, upon such appointment of a successor authenticating agent, if made, shall give written notice of such appointment of a successor authenticating agent to the Company and shall mail notice of such

appointment of a successor authenticating agent to all Holders of Notes as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Note Register.

The Company agrees to pay to the authenticating agent from time to time such reasonable compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon in writing between the Company and the authenticating agent.

The provisions of Sections 7.02, 7.03, 7.04 and 8.03 and this Section 16.11 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

Section 16.12. Execution in Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 16.13. Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then (to the extent permitted by law) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 16.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 16.15. Submission to Jurisdiction.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

GLG PARTNERS, INC.
5.00% DOLLAR-DENOMINATED CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE
MAY 15, 2014

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 5.00% Dollar-Denominated Convertible Subordinated Notes due May 15, 2014 (herein called the “Notes”), issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of May 15, 2009 (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes. Defined terms used but not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

The Notes are general subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company initially limited to $229,000,000. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, issue Additional Notes under the Indenture with the same terms as the Notes in an unlimited aggregate principal amount. The Indenture does not limit other debt of the Company, secured or unsecured. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, including the principal and interest on the Notes and all other obligations with respect to the Notes or the Indenture are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in Article 15 of the Indenture, to the prior payment in full in cash of all of the Senior Indebtedness (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed).

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(g), 6.01(h) and 6.01(i)) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes may be declared to be due and payable by either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and, upon said declaration the same shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g), 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) of the Indenture occurs, the principal of and premium, if any, and interest accrued and unpaid on all the Notes shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without necessity of further action.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes, subject to exceptions set forth in Section 9.02 of the Indenture. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default, subject to exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

A-8

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall impair, as among the Company and the Holder of the Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, on and interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

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

The Notes are issuable in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $100,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof at the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or exchange of Notes. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any other authorized denominations.

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

Upon the occurrence of a Designated Event, Holders of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Indenture.

Subject to the restrictions on ownership of shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 13.11 of the Indenture and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Holder of any Notes not previously repurchased shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert its Notes, or any portion thereof which is a multiple of $1,000, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted divided by $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Conversion Rate.

If at any time after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock shall have exceeded 150% of the then applicable Conversion Price on at least 20 Trading Days in any consecutive 30-Trading Day period, the Company may withdraw the Noteholders’ right to convert the Notes by fixing a Withdrawal Date by giving notice to the Trustee on the fifth Business Day following the last Trading Day of the 30-Trading Day period. The Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such withdrawal not fewer than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Withdrawal Date to the holders of Notes.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes, no Holder of Notes shall be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes to the extent that, as a result of a conversion of Notes by a Holder, a Regulatory Condition would be applicable to such Holder, unless the Company has previously delivered to the Trustee a written Control Consent with respect to such Holder. Under certain circumstances the Company and the Trustee may enter into a Supplemental Indenture without the consent of the Holders to add an Additional Regulatory Condition.

A-9

In the event the Holder surrenders this Note for conversion in connection with a Change of Control, the Company will increase the Applicable Conversion Rate by the Additional Change of Control Shares as and when provided in the Indenture.

All payments in respect of the Notes will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction other than the United States (“Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”) or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If, as a result of a Redomiciliation by the Company, any amounts are required to be so withheld or deducted, the Company will, subject to specified exceptions, pay such additional amounts as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Holders of the Notes after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts which would otherwise have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the absence of such withholding or deduction.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, partner, member, manager, employee, agent, officer, director or Subsidiary, as such, past, present or future of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issue of this Note.

The Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Notes that are Restricted Securities shall have all applicable rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of May 15, 2009, among the Company and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), including the right to receive Additional Interest (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock upon conversion under specified circumstances.
