Common use of Adjustment of Conversion Price Clause in Contracts

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class to holders of Capital Stock of the CompanyCommon Stock, (2) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (3) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares of Common Stock or (34) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder holder of any Security Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security Notes been converted immediately prior thereto. An Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date Record Date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the Record Date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants and expiring not more than 45 days after such Record Date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowsuch Record Date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants Record Date by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuanceRecord Date, plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number offered shares of shares Common Stock (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchase offered) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, Record Date plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment adjustments shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur Record Date. (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock capital stock of the Company other than Common Stock, cash evidences of indebtedness or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular cash dividends out of current or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) aboveretained earnings), or shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for securities (other than those referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date Record Date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valuevalue and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date Record Date for the determination of stockholders the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock distribute rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) ("Rights") pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.06, make proper provision so that each holder of a Note who converts such Note (or any portion thereof) after the Holder Record Date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of any Security surrendered for conversion will the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion SharesSHARES"), a number of rights or warrants Rights to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants Rights of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, Rights; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants Rights to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Note so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (including any distributions of cash out of current or retained earnings of the Company but excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 5.06) in an aggregate amount that, together with the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made in cash plus (y) all Excess Payments, in each case made within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to such Security distribution (the "Distribution Record Date") and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (e) of this Section 5.06 or this paragraph (d) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 5.06) of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution Record Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so convertedthat the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph (d) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 5.06) of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date less the amount of such cash and other consideration (including any Excess Payments) so distributed applicable to one share (based on the pro rata portion of the aggregate amount of such cash and other consideration (including any Excess Payments), divided by the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution Record Date) of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 5.06) of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Distribution Record Date. (e) In case a tender offer or other negotiated transaction made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall be consummated, if an Excess Payment is made in respect of such tender offer or other negotiated transaction and the amount of such Excess Payment, together with the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of all Excess Payments plus (y) the aggregate amount of all distributions to all holders of the Common Stock made in cash (specifically including distributions of cash out of retained earnings), in each case made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such current negotiated transaction consideration or expiration of such current tender offer, as the case may be (the "Purchase Date"), and as to which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) or paragraph (d) of this Section 5.06 or this paragraph (e) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 5.06) of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) on the Purchase Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph (e) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 5.06) of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date less the amount of such Excess Payments and such cash distributions, if any, applicable to one share (based on the PRO RATA portion of the aggregate amount of such Excess Payments and such cash distributions, divided by the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Purchase Date) of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 5.06) of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Purchase Date. (f) The current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Daily Market Prices for the shorter of (i) ten consecutive business days ending on the last full trading day on the exchange or market referred to in determining such Daily Market Prices prior to the time of determination or (ii) the period commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of the issuance of such rights or such warrants or such other distribution or such negotiated transaction through such last full trading day on the exchange or market referred to in determining such Daily Market Prices prior to the time of determination. (g) In any case in which this Section 5.06 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a Record Date, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 5.10 hereof) issuing to the holder of any Note converted after such Record Date the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence of the right to receive such shares.

The conversion price or rate (herein called a) If and whenever after the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as Subscription Date, and subject to the restrictions set forth in a Board ResolutionSection 17, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1A) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) on its Common Shares in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyShares, (2B) make a distribution on its Common Shares in Common Shares, (C) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares into a greater number of shares, or (3D) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder holder of any Security Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the that number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company Shares which he it would have owned immediately following such action received had such Security Note been converted immediately prior theretoto the happening of such event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Notes). An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (ai) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) On or after the consummation of a Qualified IPO, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: (i) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a shareholders rights plan) to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock Shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion, exercise or exchange price per share) less than the current market price Closing Sale Price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock Share on the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants (or if no such record date is fixed, the Business Day immediately prior to the date of announcement of such issuance) (treating the conversion, exercise or exchange price per share of the securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares as equal to (x) the sum of (i) the price for a unit of the security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares and (ii) any additional consideration initially payable upon the conversion of such security into or exercise or exchange of such security for Common Shares divided by (y) the number of Common Shares initially underlying such security), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplyingmultiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date after such record date (or if no such record date is fixed, the applicable Business Day) by a fraction of which: (A) the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the close of business on such record date with respect to such issuance (or if no record date is fixed, the date of announcement of such issuance), plus the number of shares which the aggregate subscription or purchase price for the total number of Common Shares underlying the rights options, or warrants so issued (or the aggregate conversion, exercise or exchange price of the securities so offered) would purchase at the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; and (B) the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on the record date with respect to such issuance (or if no such record date is fixed, the date immediately prior to the date of announcement of such issuance), plus the total number of additional Common Shares underlying the rights, options or warrants so issued. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective on the day following the date of such announcement of such issuance. (1) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Shares any Capital Shares of the Company (other than Common Shares), evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (A) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (B) dividends or distributions referred to in subsection (4) of this Section 7(b)(ii)), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (2) of this Section 7(b)(ii)) and also excluding the distribution of rights to all holders of Common Shares pursuant to a Rights Plan or the detachment of such rights to the extent set forth in Section 7(b)(ii)(3), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price by a fraction of which: (A) the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date; less the fair market value on such record date (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company) of the portion of the distributed assets so distributed applicable to one Common Share (determined on the basis of the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date); and (B) the denominator shall be such Current Market Price on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. (2) In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (3) In the event that the Company has in effect a preferred shares rights plan ("RIGHTS PLAN"), following conversion of the Notes into Common Shares, to the extent that such Rights Plan is in effect upon such conversion, the holders of Notes will receive as owners of the Common Shares, the rights described in the Rights Plan (whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Shares at the time of conversion), subject to the limitations set forth in any such Rights Plan. If the Rights Plan provides that upon separation of rights under such plan from the Common Shares that the Holders would not be entitled to receive any such rights in respect of the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Price will be adjusted as provided in this Section 7(b) (with such separation deemed to be the distribution of such rights), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of the rights. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a Rights Plan that would allow a holder to receive, following conversion as owners of the Common Shares, the rights described in the Rights Plan (whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Shares at the time of conversion) shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to this Section 7(b)(ii). (4) Rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all or substantially all holders of Common Shares entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's Capital Shares (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("TRIGGER EVENT"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Common Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 7 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 7 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 7(b)(ii). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the Issuance Date, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights, options or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 7 was made, in the case of any such rights, options or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Shares with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all or substantially all holders of Common Shares as of the date of such redemption or repurchase. (iii) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a "TRIGGERING Distribution") to all or substantially all holders of its Common Shares cash, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the record date of issuance of ("DETERMINATION DATE") for such rights, options or warrants Triggering Distribution is declared by the Company by a fraction, fraction of which: (2A) the numerator shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Shares (Aas determined in accordance with subsection (v) of this Section 7(b)) on the Determination Date, less the Triggering Distribution applicable to one Common Share (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus Determination Date); and (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding such Current Market Price on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, Determination Date. Such decrease to become effective immediately prior to such issuancethe opening of business on the day following the date on which the Triggering Distribution is paid. In lieu of the foregoing adjustment, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediatelyHolder may elect to receive, except pursuant to, and subject to the limitations in, Section 19, the cash distribution the Holder would be entitled to receive as provided in subsection (h) below, after if the Holder had completely converted this Note immediately prior to the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur distribution. (civ) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, purchase any shares of Capital Stock other than the Common StockShares by means of tender offer, cash or other assets then effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the last date (including securities, but other than the "EXPIRATION DATE") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (xas it may be amended) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for the last time at which an adjustment such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) abovehereinafter sometimes called the "EXPIRATION TIME"), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of such distribution business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which which: (A) the numerator shall be product of the current market price per share number of Common Shares outstanding (determined including Purchased Shares (as provided in subsection (f) defined below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but excluding any shares held in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% treasury of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time multiplied by a fraction the Current Market Price per Common Share (as determined in accordance with subsection (v) of which this Section 7(b)); and (B) the numerator denominator shall be the sum of (ix) the product of the then current market price per share aggregate consideration (determined as provided in subsection (f) set forth below) payable to shareholders of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders Company based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased SharesPURCHASED SHARES") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Common Shares outstanding (less any Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) immediately prior to the opening of business on Expiration Time and the day following the Expiration TimeCurrent Market Price per Common Share (as determined in accordance with subsection (v) this Section 7(b)). For purposes of this subsection (eSection 7(b)(iv), the aggregate consideration in any such tender offer shall equal the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably (as determined in good faith by the Board board of Directors directors of the Company) of any other consideration payable in such tender offer. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased. If the application of this Section 7(b)(iv) to any tender offer would result in an increase to the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 7(b)(iv). For purposes of this Section 7(c)(iv), the term "tender offer" shall mean and described include both tender offers and exchange offers, all references to "purchases" of shares in a Board Resolutiontender offers (and all similar references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares in tender offers and the acquisition of shares pursuant to exchange offers, and all references to "tendered shares" (and all similar references) shall mean and include shares tendered in both tender offers and exchange offers. (fv) For the purpose of any computation under subsections clauses (bi), (c), (dii) and (eiii) aboveof Section 7(b), the current market price (the "CURRENT MARKET PRICE") per share of Common Stock Share on any date shall be deemed to be the arithmetic average of the Last daily Closing Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 eleven (11) Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," record date with respect to the issuancedistributions, distribution issuances or Offer other events requiring such computationcomputation under this Section 7. For purposes of any computation under subsection (iv) of this paragraphSection 7(b), the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Current Market Price per Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws Share shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions arithmetic average of such lawsthe daily Closing Date Prices for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next preceding the Expiration Date. (hvi) In any case in which this Section 1704 7(b) shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record datedate or a Determination Date or Expiration Date, as the case may be, established for purposes of this Section 7, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event only until a date later than five Business Days following the effective time delivery by the Company to the holders of the event giving rise notice described in Section 8(d)) issuing to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to holder of any Security Note converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to Determination Date or Expiration Date the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock Shares and other Capital Stock capital shares of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of over and above the number of shares of Common Stock Shares and other Capital Stock capital shares of the Company issuable thereupon only upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii)adjustment; and, not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company (shall issue or other assets cause its transfer agents to issue evidence prepared by the Company of the right to receive such shares. If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required to be made as of the record date or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in Determination Date or Expiration Date therefor is not thereafter made or paid by the Company for any reason, the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of readjusted to the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments Price which by reason of this subsection (i) are would then be in effect if such record date had not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent been fixed or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may besuch effective date or Determination Date or Expiration Date had not occurred. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) For purposes of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted7

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case If at any time after the Company date of this Debenture, Maker shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its Shares the Conversion Price and Mandatory Conversion Threshold in effect immediately prior to such issuance or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares shall be combined into a smaller number of shares shares, the Conversion Price and Mandatory Conversion Threshold in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. The Conversion Price and Mandatory Conversion Threshold also shall be appropriately adjusted in the event of the subsequent issuance of Shares or (4) issue securities convertible into Shares, by reclassification way of its Common Stock any security dividend or distribution, the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of Shares or the distribution of shares of any other class of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets.

For purposes of determining the Holder issuance price, the amount of consideration paid upon issuance of the security and any Security thereafter surrendered for additional consideration to be paid upon conversion or exercise of the same security shall be entitled combined to receive determine the total issuance price. The following securities shall be excluded from the foregoing and shall not result in any change to the Conversion Price: (i) capital stock, options or convertible securities issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Maker in connection with their service as directors of the Maker, their employment by the Maker or their retention as consultants by the Maker, (ii) shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of options or convertible securities that were issued and outstanding on the date immediately preceding the date of this Third Amended and Restated Debenture, provided such securities are not amended after the date of this Third Amended and Restated Debenture to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder or other capital stock of to lower the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made exercise or conversion price thereof (iii) securities issued pursuant to this subsection the Third Amended and Restated Debenture and securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of those securities, (aiv) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at issued or issuable by reason of a price per share less than dividend, stock split or other distribution on shares of Common Stock (but only to the current market price per share (as determined extent that such a dividend, split or distribution results in an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to subsection the other provisions of this Third Amended and Restated Debenture), and (fv) below) capital stock, options or convertible securities issued as consideration for an acquisition or strategic transaction approved by a majority of the Common Stock on disinterested directors of the record date mentioned belowMaker, provided that any such issuance shall only be a person or entity (or to the equityholders of an entity) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Maker and shall provide to the Maker additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not, for the purposes of this clause (v), include a transaction in which the Maker is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to made as a priceresult of the Maker’s sale of securities through February 1, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying:2024. (1c) No adjustment in the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) and/or the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on subject to the date Debenture need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the Conversion Price of issuance of such rights, options less than one cent ($0.01) or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) a change in the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of subject shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus less than one-tenth (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below1/10th) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per a share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or Upon any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to hereunder, Maker will compute the adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay prepare and furnish to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of Purchaser a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedadjustment is based.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities Price shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or hereafter pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that at the Holder opening of any Security thereafter surrendered business on the date following the date fixed for conversion shall be the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(g)) fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following distribution, such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant reduction to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in opening of business on the case of a subdivision, combination day following the Record Date. The Company will not pay any dividend or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of make any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including distribution on shares of Common Stock) Stock held in the treasury of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share Current Market Price (as determined pursuant to subsection (fdefined in Section 15.5(g)) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowRecord Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the opening of business on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants after the Record Date by a fraction, of which (2) fraction the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, Record Date plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)Current Market Price, and of which (3) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date close of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, business on the Record Date plus (B) the total number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for the determination of holders stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted as provided to be the Conversion Price which would then be in this subsection (b) until effect if such triggering events date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall occur be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. (c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.5(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, (y) exclusively in cash or (z) referred to in Section 15.5(a) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 15.5(d) called the "Securities"), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(g)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(g)) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such redaction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted each Note on such date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 15.5(g) to the extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 15.5(d), no adjustment shall be made hereunder for any distribution of Securities if the Company makes proper provision so that each Noteholder who converts such Note (or any portion thereof) after the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount and kind of Securities that such holder would have been entitled to receive if such holder had, immediately prior to such determination date, converted such Note into Common Stock; provided that, with respect to any Securities that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, the foregoing provision shall only apply to the extent (and so long as) the Securities receivable upon conversion of such Note would be convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, as applicable, without any loss of rights or privileges for a period of at least 60 days following conversion of such Note. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall not be deemed distributed for purposes of this Section 15.5(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under Section 15.5(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that shall have resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5(d), (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holder thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such issuance had not occurred. For purposes of this Section 15.5(d) and Sections 15.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 15.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 15.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made, except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 15.5(a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 15.5(a). (e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 15.6 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 15.5(d)) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.5(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 15.5(f) has been made, exceeds 20.0% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(g)) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, unless the Company elects to reserve such cash for distribution to the holders of the Notes upon the conversion of the Notes so that any such holder converting Notes will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount of cash which such holder would have received if such holder had, immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution of cash, converted its Notes into Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall distribute be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 20.0% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder converted each Note on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offer, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (f) has been made, and (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid made exclusively in cash or within twelve (y12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section has been made, exceeds 20.0% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (g) of this Section) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (atendered shares) or (b) above)on the Expiration Time, subsection (a) or (b) above)then, then and in each such case case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converteds

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.02 for Securities of that series, the conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities convertible into Common Stock shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution on Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2) subdivide its the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares or (3) combine its the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action conversion price for the Securities of that series shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any such Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoto the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution or the effective date in the case of subdivision or combination. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (aSection 12.05(a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution distribution, except as provided in Section 12.05(h), and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (fdefined for purposes of this Section 12.05(b) below) of the Common Stock on in Section 12.05(e)), at the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, warrants plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, warrants plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription receivable upon exercise of such rights or purchasewarrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) belowSection 12.05(h), after such record date. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the record date Holders of the Securities of that series to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such current market price, and in determining the determination aggregate offering price of holders entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants; providedwarrants plus the exercise price thereof, howeverthe value of such consideration or exercise price, that as the case may be, if any such rightsother than cash, options or warrants issued to be determined by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence Board of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur Directors. (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock, cash ) or other evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular excluding cash dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (afrom retained earnings of the Company) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (bexcluding those rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.05(b) above) (any of the foregoing, for purposes of this paragraph (c), subsection (a) or (b) abovethe “Special Securities”), then then, in each such case case, unless the Conversion Price Company elects to reserve such Special Securities for distribution to the Holders of Securities of that series upon the conversion so that any such Holder converting such Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of Special Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities, converted Securities into Common Stock, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided defined, for purposes of this Section 12.05(c), in subsection (f) belowSection 12.05(e)) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below above less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of DirectorsDirectors of the Company, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market valueconclusive) of the portion of the assets Special Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which the denominator shall be such the current market price per share (as defined in Section 12.05(e)) of Common Stock; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Special Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common StockStock is equal to or greater than the current market price per share (as defined in Section 12.05(e)) of Common Stock on the record date mentioned above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Securities of that series shall have the right to receive the amount and kind of Special Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Securities immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection Section 12.05 (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company If, pursuant to Sections 12.05(b) or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above12.05(c), or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) shall have been adjusted because the Company has declared a dividend, or made a distribution, on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share outstanding shares of Common Stock equals in the form of any right or exceeds such current market price per share warrant to purchase securities of Common Stockthe Company, or the Company has issued any such current market price exceeds right or warrant, then, upon the expiration of any such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per shareunexercised right or unexercised warrant, the Conversion Price conversion price shall not forthwith be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d)equal the conversion price that would have applied had such right or warrant never been declared, and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributiondistributed or issued. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (bSection 12.05(b), (c), (d) and (ethe current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the reported last sales prices for the 30 consecutive Trading Days commencing 45 Trading Days before the date in question. For the purpose of any computation under Section 12.05(c) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock reported last sales prices for the five ten consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of before the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computationquestion. For The reported last sales price for each day (whether for purposes of this paragraphSection 12.05(b) or 12.05(c)) shall be the reported last sales price, regular way, or, in case no sale takes place on such day, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuanceaverage of the reported closing bid and asked prices, distribution or payments with respect to an Offerregular way, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way in either case as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or Composite Tape or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading thereonon the New York Stock Exchange, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the right to receive National Market System of NASDAQ or, if the Common Stock is not quoted on such issuanceNational Market System, distribution the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day in the over-the-counter market as reported by NASDAQ or, if bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on each such day shall not have been reported through NASDAQ, the average of the bid and asked prices for such day as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common Stock selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors of the Company or Offera committee thereof or, if no such quotations are available, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by a New York Stock Exchange Member firm regularly making a market in the Common Stock selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof or, if no such quotations are available, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by a New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common Stock selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof. . (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (if) No adjustment in the Conversion Price conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Pricein such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (iSection 12.05(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; and, provided, further, that adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Article 12 (other than this Section 12.05(f)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax free nature of a distribution to the holders of Common Stock. All calculations under this Article Seventeen 12 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth 1/100 of a share, as the case may be, with one-half cent and 1/200 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward. Anything in this Section 12.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those required by this Section 12.05, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable. (jg) Whenever the Conversion Price conversion price is adjusted adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee Trustee, at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, and each Conversion Agent with the office or agency maintained by the Company for the conversion of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 4.02, an Officer's Certificate Officers’ Certificate, setting forth the Conversion Price conversion price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or any facts or computations set forth therein, and (ii) give or except to exhibit said certificate from time to time to any Holder of a Security of that series desiring to inspect the same. The Company shall promptly cause a notice setting forth the adjusted conversion price to be given a notice of such adjustment mailed to each Holder the Holders of Securities in of that series, as their names and addresses appear upon the manner provided in Section 106Security Register of the Company. (kh) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of any case in which this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company12.05 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company shall make proper provision so that may defer until the occurrence of such event (1) issuing to the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon of that series converted after such conversion, in addition to record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (by reason of the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion occurs on or prior before giving effect to the date for the distribution such adjustment and (2) paying to the holders such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares any fractional share of Common Stock equal pursuant to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedSection 12.06.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate as stated in paragraph 6 of the Securities (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2ii) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (3iv) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the that number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he it would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoto the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price Current Market Price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription (or purchase the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would purchase at the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)record date, and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants; providedwarrants are issued, however, that if any and shall become effective immediately after such rights, options record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights or warrants issued by are exercisable not all rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (b) until such triggering events shall occur or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), cash evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities, but securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (x1) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y2) any dividend dividends or distribution for which an adjustment is required distributions referred to be made in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 4.06), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) above), subsection (a) of this Section 4.06 and also excluding the distribution of rights to all holders of Common Stock pursuant to the adoption of a stockholders rights plan or (b) abovethe detachment of such rights under the terms of such stockholder rights plan), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. In the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of a Security shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants such holder would have received had such holder converted each Security on such record date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 4.06(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. In the event that the Company continues to have a preferred shares rights plan or implements a new rights plan ("Rights Plan"), upon conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, to the extent that any such Rights Plan is still in effect upon such conversion, the holders of Securities will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights described therein (whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion), subject to the limitations set forth in the Rights Plan. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a Rights Plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to this Section 4.06(c). Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.06 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.06 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 4.06(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.06 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. (1) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a "Triggering Distribution") to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valuethereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.

(2) In case any tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall involve the payment of aggregate consideration in an amount (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the preceding 12 months preceding the date of the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.06 has been made and (B) all cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.06 has been made, exceeds 15an amount equal to 10.0% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the Common Stock last date (determined the "Expiration Date") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as provided in subsection it may be amended) (fthe last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the "Expiration Time") below) times multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock then outstandingoutstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the record date of such distributionday after the Expiration Date, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of such distribution business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any tendered sharesshares held in the treasury of the Company) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the Expiration Time multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time minus Date and the denominator shall be the sum of (iix) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid) payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (iless any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) such current market price per share on at the Expiration Time times (ii) such number and the Current Market Price per share of outstanding shares Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesDate, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration TimeDate. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution.

For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws.

(i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights is obligated to distributions referred purchase shares pursuant to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or warrants have not expired all such purchases or been redeemed by the Companyany or all such purchases are rescinded, the Company Conversion Price shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will again be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants adjusted to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to Conversion Price which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion would have been in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased.

An adjustment made pursuant to this SECTION 8(d)(i) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the foregoingeffective date of such subdivision or combination, in as the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributioncase may be. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution.

(g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any The provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws SECTION 8(d) shall be deemed similarly apply to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason all successive events of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but type described in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustmentthis SECTION 8(d), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing .

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities Price shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution on its outstanding Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2ii) subdivide or split its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4iv) issue any shares of Capital Stock by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder holder of any Security Notes thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he such holder would have owned immediately following such action or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above had such Security Notes been converted surrendered for conversion immediately prior theretoto the occurrence of such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the close of business on the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution in the case of a dividend or distribution (except as provided in Section 14.6(j)) and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date in the case of a subdivision, split, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including Any shares of Common Stock) Stock issuable in payment of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and a dividend shall be described in a statement filed with deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the Trustee) shall determine close of business on the allocation record date for such dividend for purposes of calculating the adjusted Conversion Price between or among number of outstanding shares of such classes of Capital StockCommon Stock under Sections 14.6(b) and (c). (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share Current Market Price (as determined pursuant to subsection (fdefined in Section 14.6(g)) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted Record Date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of receive such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date after the Record Date by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date plus the number of shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Current Market Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration or termination of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, options or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. (c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 14.6(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 14.6(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, (y) exclusively in cash or (z) referred to in Section 14.6(a) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 14.6(d) called the “Securities”)), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 14.6(g)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share Current Market Price (determined as provided in subsection (fSection 14.6(g)) below) of the Common Stock on the record such date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of and described in a Board Resolution) on such fair market value) date of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or exceeds greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Securities such current holder would have received had such holder converted each Note on such date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market price value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 14.6(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 14.6(g) to the extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.6(d), no adjustment shall be made hereunder for any distribution of Securities if the Company makes proper provision so that each Noteholder who converts a Note (or any portion thereof) after the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount and kind of Securities that such holder would have been entitled to receive if such holder had, immediately prior to such determination date, converted such Note into Common Stock; provided that, with respect to any Securities that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, the foregoing provision shall only apply to the extent (and so long as) the Securities receivable upon conversion of such Note would be convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, as applicable, without any loss of rights or privileges for a period of at least 60 days following conversion of such Note. Rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (the “Trigger Event”) (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall not be deemed distributed for purposes of this Section 14.6(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 14.6(d) shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that shall have resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 14.6(d), (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holder thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such issuance had not occurred. For purposes of this Section 14.6(d) and Sections 14.6(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.6(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of Capital Stock other than such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per shareshares of Common Stock or rights, the options or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 14.6(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 14.6(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Sections 14.6(a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to deemed “outstanding at the extent applicable, close of business on the provisions date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionSection 14.6(a). (de) In case the Company shall, by dividend or any Subsidiary otherwise, distribute to all holders of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment that is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies14.7 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 14.6(d) for which an adjustment to all holders of Common Stock the Conversion Price is provided therein) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i1) all the aggregate amount of any other such all-distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.6(e) has been made made, and (ii2) the aggregate of any cash and plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of other Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer offer, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 14.6(f) has been made, exceeds 1520.0% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock Current Market Price (determined as provided in subsection (fSection 14.6(g)) below) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) outstanding on the record date of such distributiondate, then then, and in each such case case, immediately after the close of business on such date, unless the Company elects to reserve such cash for distribution to the holders of the Notes upon the conversion of the Notes so that any such holder converting Notes shall receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to that such holder is entitled, the amount of cash which such holder would have received if such holder had, immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution of cash, converted its Notes into Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such date of such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be equal to the then current market price per share Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 20.0% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such record date less date; provided that in the amount event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which Stock is equal to or greater than the denominator shall be such current market price per share Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Such adjustment Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after be made so that each Noteholder shall have the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such distributionholder would have received had such holder converted each Note on the Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in In the event that the cash such dividend or distribution is not so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals paid or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per sharemade, the Conversion Price shall not again be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to be the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such distributiondividend or distribution had not been declared. (ef) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any shall expire and such tender or exchange offer being referred to (as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of amended upon the expiration of such Offer thereof) shall require the payment to shareholders (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the an aggregate consideration having a fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution. ) that combined together with (f1) For the purpose aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any computation under subsections (b)other tender offer, (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier or any of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution its Subsidiaries for all or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes any portion of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on expiring within the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to trading thereonthis Section 14.6(f) has been made, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e2) above, the Company will be permitted aggregate amount of any distributions to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the all holders of the shares of Company’s Common Stock. In Stock made exclusively in cash within 12 months preceding the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions expiration of such laws. (h) In any case tender offer, and in respect of which this Section 1704 shall require that an no adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities14.6(e) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii)has been made, not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1exceeds 20.0% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement product of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and Current Market Price (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converteddete

Such adjustment adjustments shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock distribute rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) ("Rights") pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.06, make proper provision so that each holder of a Security who converts such Security (or any portion thereof) after the Holder record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of any Security surrendered for conversion will the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants Rights to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants Rights of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, Rights; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants Rights to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such the Security so convertedconverted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of an applicable to the Rights. (d) The current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for thirty consecutive trading days commencing forty-five trading days before the day in question. The closing price for each day shall be the closing sale price of the Common Stock, or in case no reported sale takes place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, on NASDAQ or any comparable system, or if the Common Stock is not quoted on NASDAQ or any comparable system, the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such date, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange, or if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the closing sale price or, in case no reported sale takes place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, as furnished by any two members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. (e) In any case in which this Section 4.06 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 4.10 below) issuing to the holder of any Security converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is do deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence of the right to receive such shares.

An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) Current Market Price Per Share of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants (provided, however, if such rights or warrants are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain events, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted unless and until such triggering events occur), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which which (2x) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription (or purchase the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would purchase at the Current Market Price Per Share of Common Stock on such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)record date, and of which which (3y) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants; providedwarrants are issued, however, that if any and shall become effective immediately after such rights, options record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights or warrants issued by are exercisable not all rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (b) until such triggering events shall occur or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 4.6), then in each such case, for so long as such rights or warrants shall not have expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock evidences issuable upon conversion, the following: (i) If conversion occurs on or prior to the date for distribution of indebtednesscertificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "DISTRIBUTION DATE"), the Holder shall be entitled to the same number of rights or warrants that a holder of a number of shares of Capital Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion is entitled; and (ii) if conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the Holder shall be entitled to the same number of rights or warrants that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder would have owned had such Security been converted immediately prior to the Distribution Date, in accordance with the terms and provisions applicable to such rights or warrants. (d) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), cash evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities, but securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (x1) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y2) any dividend dividends or distribution for which an adjustment is required distributions referred to be made in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 4.6), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities which rights or warrants have expired or have been redeemed prior to conversion of any Securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsections (b) above), subsection (a) or (bc) aboveof this Section 4.6), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) Current Market Price Per Share of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value on such record date (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valuevalue and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common StockStock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share the Current Market Price Per Share of the Common StockStock on such record date; provided, however, that in the case of rights or warrants which have expired or have been redeemed, such determination shall be made as of the time of expiration or redemption, rather than the record date, and shall be based upon the value immediately prior to such expiration or upon the redemption price, as the case may be. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (de) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash time distribute (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies"TRIGGERING DISTRIBUTION") to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, combined together with the aggregate amount of (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (iiA) any cash and the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all other all cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price Per Share of Common Stock on the Business Day (the "DETERMINATION DATE") immediately preceding the day on which such Triggering Distribution is declared by the Company multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price Per Share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date less the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any such other consideration so distributed, paid or payable within such 12 months (including, without limitation, the Triggering Distribution) applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date) and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price Per Share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date on which the Triggering Distribution is paid. (1) In case any tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall involve the payment of aggregate consideration in an amount (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the preceding 12 months preceding the date of the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds 15an amount equal to 12.5% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price Current Market Price Per Share of Common Stock as of the Common Stock last date (determined the "EXPIRATION DATE") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as provided in subsection it may be amended) (fthe last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the "EXPIRATION TIME") below) times multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock then outstandingoutstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the record date of such distributionday after the Expiration Date, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of such distribution Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any tendered sharesshares held in the treasury of the Company) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the Expiration Time multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) Current Market Price Per Share of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time minus Date and the denominator shall be the sum of (iix) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid) payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased SharesPURCHASED SHARES") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (iless any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) such current market price per share on at the Expiration Time times (ii) such number and the Current Market Price Per Share of outstanding shares Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesDate, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration TimeDate. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights is obligated to distributions referred purchase shares pursuant to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or warrants have not expired all such purchases or been redeemed by the Companyany or all such purchases are rescinded, the Company Conversion Price shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will again be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants adjusted to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to Conversion Price which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion would have been in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased. If the application of Common Stock into which this Section 4.6(f) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the principal amount Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 4.6(f). (2) For purposes of such Security so convertedSection 4.6(e) and 4.6(f), the term "tender offer" shall mean and include both tender offers and exchange offers (within the meaning of U.S. Federal securities laws), all references to "purchases" of shares in tender offers (and all similar references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares in tender offers and the acquisition of shares pursuant to exchange offers, and all references to "tendered shares" (and all similar references) shall mean and include shares tendered in both tender offers and exchange offers.

An Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection Subsection (ai) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (bii) In case MSPC, after the Company date hereof, shall issue rights, warrants or options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them the recipients thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of Conversion Price for the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowNew Convertible Note then in effect, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same it shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect for immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, warrants or options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, warrants or options or warrants, (immediately prior to such issuance), plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered to subscription or purchase) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)Conversion Price then in effect, and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, warrants or options or warrants, (immediately prior to such issuance, ) plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchasepurchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchase are convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued. In determining whether any rights, warrants or warrants issued by options entitle the Company as described in this subsection holder of the New Convertible Note to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (bor securities convertible into Common Stock) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then at less than the Conversion Price then in effect and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock (or conversion price of such convertible securities), there shall be taken into account any consideration received by MSPC for such rights, warrants or options (and for such convertible securities), the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of MSPC (which determination shall be conclusive). If at the end of the period during which such warrants, rights or options are exercisable not all of such warrants, rights or options shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided immediately readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in this subsection effect based on the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (bor the number of shares of Common Stock actually issuable) until such triggering events shall occur upon conversion of the convertible securities. (ciii) In case MSPC, after the Company or any date of its Subsidiaries the New Convertible Note, shall distribute to all holders of its outstanding Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock capital stock (other than Common Stock), cash evidences of its indebtedness or other assets (including securitiessecurities and cash, but other than (x) regular excluding any cash dividend paid out of current or retained earnings of MSPC and dividends or distributions paid exclusively payable in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution stock for which an adjustment is required made pursuant to be made in accordance with subsection Subsection (ai) of this Section 5(d) or rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase securities of MSPC (bexcluding those referred to in Subsection (ii) above), subsection (a) or (b) aboveof this Section 5(d), then in each such case case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided Conversion Price for such New Convertible Note then in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below effect less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined in good faith by the Board of DirectorsDirectors of MSPC, whose which determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valueconclusive) of the portion of the capital stock or the evidences of indebtedness or the assets so distributed to the holder of one share of Common Stock or of such subscription rights, warrants or options applicable to one share of Common Stock, Stock and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common StockConversion Price then in effect. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding If at the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value end of the assetsperiod during which warrants, rights or options described in this Subsection (iii) are exercisable not all such warrants, rights or options shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been based on the number of warrants, rights or options actually exercised. (iv) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (ii) or (iii) of this Section 5(d) to the contrary, with respect to any rights, warrants or options covered by Subsection (ii) or (iii) of this Section 5(d), if such rights, warrants or options are exercisable only upon the occurrence of specified events, then for purposes of this Section 5(d), such rights, warrants or options shall not be deemed issued or distributed, and any adjustment to the Conversion Price required by subsection (ii) or (iii) of this Section 5(d) shall not be made until such events occur and such rights, warrants or options become exercisable. (v) In case MSPC, after the date of the New Convertible Note, shall issue shares of its Common Stock (excluding those rights, warrants, options, shares of capital stock or evidences of its indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable assets referred to one share in subsection (ii) or (iii) of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market this Section 5(d)) at a net price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per sharethe Conversion Price on the date that MSPC fixes the offering price of such additional shares, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced immediately thereafter so that the same it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution thereto by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share number of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, outstanding immediately prior to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration issuance of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times additional shares plus the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on which the Expiration Time, aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered would purchase at the Conversion Price then in effect and the denominator shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made. This Subsection (including any tendered sharesv) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable shall not apply to stockholders based on the acceptance (up Common Stock issued to any maximum specified in the terms employee, officer or director of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered MSPC under a bona fide employee or director benefit plan adopted by MSPC and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith approved by the Board stockholders of Directors of the Company and described in a Board ResolutionMSPC. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (hvi) In any case in which this Section 1704 5(d) shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date or an effective date, the Company MSPC may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event only until a date later than five Business Days following the effective time mailing by MSPC to the holder of New Convertible Note of the event giving rise to such adjustmentcertificate required by subsection (viii) of this Section 5(d), in which case issuing to the Company shall, with respect to any Security holder of the New Convertible Note converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to effective date the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of over and above the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversionadjustment. (ivii) No adjustment in the Conversion Price of the New Convertible Note shall be required to be made unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1% of the Conversion Price%) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection Subsection (ivii) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen Section 5(d) shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-one hundredth of a share, as the case may beone cent. (jviii) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein providedprovided in this Section 5, MSPC will promptly mail to the Company shall promptly (i) file with holder of the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate New Convertible Note a certificate of MSPC’s Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment as so adjusted and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring accounting for such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (kix) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder Irrespective of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, adjustment or change in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to Price and the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at actually purchasable under the time New Convertible Note, a New Convertible Note thereafter issued in replacement of New Convertible Note surrendered upon the partial conversion of such conversion New Convertible Note may continue to express the Conversion Price per Share thereunder as the Conversion Price per Share as set forth in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedNew Convertible Note when initially issued.

Notwithstanding cash consideration and the foregoing, in the event that the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of the assetsDirectors of McDATA, evidences whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, McDATA delivered to the extent applicableTrustee thereof) of any other consideration) that, together with the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with of (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of McDATA, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of McDATA delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration paid or payable in respect of any other tender offer offers by the Company McDATA or any Subsidiary of its Subsidiaries McDATA for Common Stock concluded consummated within the preceding 12 months preceding the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (ii) all cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds 15an amount equal to 10.0% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined as provided in accordance with subsection (f) belowof this Section 4.6) times as of the last date (the "Expiration Date") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the "Expiration Time") multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock then outstandingoutstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of McDATA) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the record date of such distributionday after the Expiration Date, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of such distribution Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.

In the event that McDATA is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but McDATA is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased. If the application of this Section 4.6(e) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 4.6(e). For purposes of this subsection (eSection 4.6(e), the fair market value term "tender offer" shall mean and include both tender offers and exchange offers, all references to "purchases" of any consideration with respect shares in tender offers (and all similar references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares in tender offers and the acquisition of shares pursuant to an Offer exchange offers, and all references to "tendered shares" (and all similar references) shall be reasonably determined mean and include shares tendered in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company both tender offers and described in a Board Resolutionexchange offers.

For purposes (d) and (e) of this paragraph, Section 4.6 or (ii) the term "ex date," when used record date with respect to any issuancedistributions, distribution issuances or payments with respect to an Offerother events requiring such computation under subsection (b), means (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 4.6. The closing price for each day shall be the first date last reported sales price or, in case no such reported sale takes place on which such date, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices in either case on the NNM or, if the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if is not listed or admitted to trading thereonon the NNM, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on the right NNM or any national securities exchange, the last reported sales price of the Common Stock as quoted on NASDAQ or, in case no reported sales takes place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as quoted on NASDAQ or any comparable system or, if the Common Stock is not quoted on NASDAQ or any comparable system, the closing sales price or, in case no reported sale takes place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, as furnished by any two members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to receive time by McDATA for that purpose.

(g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 4.6 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record datedate or a Determination Date or Expiration Date, as the Company case may be, established for purposes of this Section 4.6, McDATA may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event only until a date later than five Business Days following the effective time filing by the Company with the Trustee of the event giving rise certificate described in Section 4.9) issuing to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to Holder of any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to Determination Date or Expiration Date the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) McDATA issuable upon such conversion in excess of over and above the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company McDATA issuable thereupon upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii)adjustment; and, not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock in lieu of the Company (shares the issuance of which is so deferred, McDATA shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other assets appropriate evidence prepared by McDATA of the right to receive such shares. If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required to be made as of the record date or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in Determination Date or Expiration Date therefor is not thereafter made or paid by McDATA for any reason, the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required readjusted to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall would then be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) effect if such conversion occurs on record date had not been fixed or prior to the such effective date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights Determination Date or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedExpiration Date had not occurred.

In the event that the Company or such Subsidiary is obligated to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. (f) In case a tender or exchange offer made by a Person other than the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for an amount that increases the offeror’s ownership of the Company’s Common Stock to more than 30% of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding shall expire and such tender or exchange offer shall involve the payment by such Person of consideration per share of the Company’s Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or to the extent permitted by applicable law, a duly authorized committee thereof, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of such Board of Directors or such duly authorized committee thereof, as the case may be) at the Expiration Time that exceeds the Current Market Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and in which, as of the Expiration Time the Board of Directors of the Company is not recommending rejection of the offer, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the Conversion Price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time and the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all Purchased Shares and (y) the product of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding (iless any Purchased Shares) such current market price per share on at the Expiration Time times (ii) such number and the Current Market Price of outstanding shares the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesTime, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time.

All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall would then be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) effect if such conversion occurs on record date had not been fixed or prior to the such effective date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedhad not occurred.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided defined in subsection (fSection 10.06(e) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times date of such repurchase, less the quotient obtained by dividing the Aggregate Market Premium involved in such repurchase (as defined hereinafter) by the difference between the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on before such repurchase and the Expiration Timenumber of shares of Common Stock the subject of such repurchase, and the Conversion Price denominator of which shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided defined in subsection (fSection 10.06(e) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number date of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator such repurchase. Such adjustment shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to after the opening date of business on the day following the Expiration Timesuch repurchase. For purposes of this subsection (ed), the fair "Aggregate Market Premium" is the excess, if any, of the aggregate repurchase price paid for all such Common Stock over the aggregate current market value per share of any consideration all such repurchased stock, determined with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined each share involved in good faith by the Board of Directors each such repurchase as of the Company and described in a Board Resolutiondate of repurchase with respect to such share.

(i) In the event that the provisions of this Section 5.7 fail as a result of an unintentional oversight to provide expressly for the adjustment of the Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion under circumstances that, based upon the purposes and other Capital Stock intentions expressed in this Article V, would otherwise have been addressed, the Board of Directors of the Company (shall, in good faith cause an equitable adjustment to be made to the Conversion Price or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106.

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately, except immediately after such record date. Except as provided in subsection (hf) below, after in determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the record date holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the determination aggregate offering price of holders entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants; provided, howeverthe value of such consideration, that if any such rightsother than cash, options or warrants issued to be determined in good faith by the Company as Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive and described in an Officers' Certificate filed with the Trustee. Upon the expiration of any right or warrant to purchase Common Stock the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the denominator of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this subsection (b) are only exercisable ), if any such right or warrant shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the denominator of the Conversion Ratio shall immediately upon such expiration be recomputed to the denominator of the Conversion Ratio which would have been in effect had the adjustment of the denominator of the Conversion Ratio made upon the occurrence issuance of certain triggering events relating such rights or warrants been made on the basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such rights or warrants actually exercised. If the Company shall at any time issue two or more securities as a unit and one or more of such securities shall be rights or warrants for Common Stock subject to control this Section 10.5(b), the consideration allocated to each such security shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive and provided for described in shareholdersan Officers' rights plans, then Certificate filed with the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur Trustee. (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock, cash ) or other evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (including securitiessecurities but excluding those rights, but other than (x) regular warrants, dividends or and distributions paid exclusively referred to in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection subsections (a) or and (b) aboveabove and dividends and distributions in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or paid in cash), then, except as provided in subsection (af) or (b) above)below, then in each such case the denominator of the Conversion Price Ratio shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the denominator of the Conversion Price Ratio in effect immediately prior to before the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value Fair Market Value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shallshall be conclusive, if made and described in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market valuean Officers' Certificate filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the Capital Stock or assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price the Current Market Price per share of the Common StockStock on such record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive received such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (cf) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionbelow. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) time distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (x) any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with any fiscal quarter does not exceed the greater of (i) all other such all-the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash distributions made within dividend on the then preceding 12 months in respect Common Stock to the extent not requiring any adjustment of which no adjustment has been made the denominator of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this subparagraph (d) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock) and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 153.75% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product average of the then current market price daily Closing Prices on The Neuer Markt of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times Stock, for the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect ten consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend and (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary), then, in such case, unless the Company elects to reserve such cash for distribution to the Holders of the Notes upon the conversion of the Notes so that any such Holder converting Notes will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the Conversion Shares to which such Holder is entitled, the amount of cash which such Holder would have received if such Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for such distribution of cash, converted its Notes into Conversion Shares, the denominator of the Conversion Ratio shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the number determined by multiplying the denominator of the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share Current Market Price of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock, Stock and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall , such reduction to become effective immediatelyimmediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date; provided, except as provided in subsection (h) belowhowever, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, that in the event that the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals is equal to or exceeds greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on such current market price per share record date, in lieu of Common Stockthe foregoing adjustment, or such current market price exceeds such adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Notes shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash by less such Holder would have received had he converted each Note on such record date. In the event that $0.10 per sharesuch dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the denominator of the Conversion Price Ratio shall not again be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to be the extent applicable, denominator of the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to Conversion Ratio which would then be in effect if such distributiondividend or distribution had not been declared. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any shall expire and such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate shall involve the payment by the Company or such Subsidiary of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value as of Fair Market Value at the expiration of such Offer last time (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been tenders or exchanges --------------- may be made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all by holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection offer (das it shall have been amended) has been made, that exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the denominator of the Conversion Price Ratio shall be reduced so that such denominator shall equal the number determined by multiplying such the denominator of the Conversion Price Ratio in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the Expiration Time minus multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time and the denominator shall be the sum of (iix) the fair market value Fair Market Value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") ---------------- and the denominator shall be (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (iless any Purchased Shares) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number and the Current Market Price of outstanding shares the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesTime, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e)In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors denominator of the Company and described Conversion Ratio shall again be adjusted to be the denominator of the Conversion Ratio which would then be in a Board Resolutioneffect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. (f) For No adjustment in the purpose denominator of the Conversion Ratio shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% in the denominator of the Conversion Ratio then in effect; provided, however, that any computation under subsections adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph (b), (c), (df) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and (e) abovetaken into account in determining whether any subsequent adjustment shall be required. Except as provided in this Section 10.5, the current market price per share denominator of the Conversion Ratio will not be adjusted for the issuance of Common Stock on or any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without carrying the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offerpurchase any of the foregoing. (g) Whenever the conversion price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any conversion agent other than the Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth the denominator of the Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the denominator of the Conversion Ratio setting forth the adjusted denominator of the Conversion Ratio and the date on which such adjustment becomes effective and shall mail or cause to be mailed such notice of such adjustment of the denominator of the Conversion Ratio to the Holder of each Note at his last address appearing on the Note register provided for in Section 2.3 of this Indenture. (h) In any case in which this Section 10.5 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Note converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 10.3. (i) The Company may make such reductions in the denominator of the Conversion Ratio, in addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections those required by subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) aboveof this Section 10.5, as the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or in order that any event treated as such for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend purposes. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may reduce the denominator of stock or stock rights will not be taxable the Conversion Ratio by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days, the reduction is irrevocable during such period, and the Board of Directors (or, to the holders extent permitted by applicable law, a duly authorized committee thereof) shall have made a determination that such reduction would be in the best interests of the shares Company, which determination shall be conclusive.

(j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.5, no adjustment to the denominator of the Conversion Ratio shall reduce the denominator of the Conversion Ratio below the then par value per share of the Common Stock, and any such purported adjustment shall instead reduce the denominator of the Conversion Ratio to such par value. The Company hereby covenants not to take any action (i) to increase the par value per share of the Common Stock or (ii) that would or does result in any adjustment in the denominator of the Conversion Ratio that, if made without giving effect to the previous sentence, would cause the denominator of the Conversion Ratio to be less than the then par value per share of the Common Stock, provided, however, that any provisions of the covenant in this Indenture which conflict with such laws sentence shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions suspended if within ten days of determining in good faith that such laws. (h) In any case action would result in which this Section 1704 shall require that an such adjustment (including by reason of but not later than the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately Business Day next following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shallgives notice of redemption of all outstanding Notes, with respect and effects the redemption referred to any Security converted after in such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only notice on the basis of redemption date referred to therein in compliance with Article III, but the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion.

All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106occur. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) provisions of this Section 1704 Article X specifying the methods by which the Conversion Price or other provisions are adjusted would require an adjustment that is determined in good faith by the Board of Directors to be inconsistent with the purpose of the provisions hereof providing for Conversion Price adjustments or other adjustments (generally, to place Holders in a position equivalent to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to position they were in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for occurrence of the distribution event requiring adjustment to the holders of rights Conversion Price or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedothe

An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after such record date. (b) In case the record date Company shall (1) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (2) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the case effectiveness of such action shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a dividend fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or distribution combination and the denominator shall become effective be the number of shares outstanding immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination giving effect to such subdivision or reclassificationcombination. If as a result of an An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion b) shall become entitled to receive shares effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (i) and (j) below, after the effective date of two a subdivision or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (bc) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowfixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights, option or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following such record date shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1i) the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2ii) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3iii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted

(fg) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (cd), (de) and (ef) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock common stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock common stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex `ex' date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computationcomputation (the "Current Market Price"). If on such Trading Day the common stock is not quoted by any organization referred to in the definition of the Last Sale Price in Section 11.03 hereof, the fair value of the common stock on such day, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be the Current Market Price. For purposes of this paragraphthe definition of Current Market Price, the term "ex `ex' date," ", when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock common stock trades in a regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which or automated quotation system if the Common Stock common stock is listed or admitted to tradingtrading thereon) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer.

The Company may, at its option, also make such reductions in the Conversion Price in addition to those set forth above, as it considers the Board of Directors deems advisable to be advisable in order that avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of shares of common stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for Federal United States federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such lawspurposes.

(ij) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 11.0% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (ij) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-one hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (jk) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent conversion agent an Officer's Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give mail or cause to be given mailed a notice of such adjustment to each Holder holder of Securities in Debentures at his address as the manner provided in Section 106same appears on the registry books of the Company.

The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class to holders of Capital Stock of the CompanyCommon Stock, (2) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (3) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares of Common Stock or (34) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security Securities been converted immediately prior thereto. An Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants and expiring not more than 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share Current Market Price (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the such record date mentioned belowdate, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) number of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds outstanding on such current market price per share of Common Stockrecord date, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times plus the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market aggregate offering price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of offered shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on or the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product aggregate conversion price of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (fconvertible securities so offered) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of purchase at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedsuch

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities Price shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time as followsin the following manner upon the occurrence of the following events: (a) In case Dividend, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification of Common Stock. If the Company shall shall, at any time or from time to time, (1A) make or pay declare a dividend (or other distribution) on the Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock (including Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock), (2B) subdivide its the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater larger number of sharesshares of Common Stock, (3C) combine its the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock Stock, or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the CompanyCommon Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the time of the record date for such action dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for upon conversion after such date shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action which, if this Note had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoto such date, such holder would have owned upon such conversion and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification. An Any such adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the record date of such dividend or the effective date in the case of a such subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an Such adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. If a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of dividend is declared and such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowdividend is not paid, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) be the Conversion Price Price, in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute giving effect to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is adjustments that otherwise would be required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made 9.6 from and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (iidate), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted

If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including Any shares of Common Stock) Stock issuable in payment of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and a dividend shall be described in a statement filed with deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the Trustee) shall determine close of business on the allocation record date for such dividend for purposes of calculating the adjusted Conversion Price between or among number of outstanding shares of such classes of Capital StockCommon Stock under Sections 14.5(b) and (c). (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share Current Market Price (as determined pursuant to subsection (fdefined in Section 14.5(g)) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of receive such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the opening of business on the date of such distribution after the Record Date by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date plus the number of shares that the aggregate offering price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Current Market Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date mentioned below less close of business on the then fair market value (as determined by Record Date plus the Board total number of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share additional shares of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common StockStock so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration or termination of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distributionrights, options or warrants had not been fixed. Notwithstanding In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness holders to subscribe for or other securities so distributed applicable to one share purchase shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds at less than such current market Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price per share of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, options or warrants, the value of such current market price exceeds such fair market value consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by less than $0.10 per sharethe Board of Directors. (c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) andproportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the extent applicable, opening of business on the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to day following the day upon which such distributionsubdivision or combination becomes effective. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) aboveotherwise, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) distribute to all holders of its Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect shares of any tender offer by the Company or any class of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary capital stock of the Company for all (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 14.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender rights, options or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions warrants referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e14.5(b), the fair market value of and excluding any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. dividend or distribution (fx) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled whether voluntary or involuntary, (y) exclusively in cash or (z) referred to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedin

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate Conversion Price (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares or (3) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which that he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants by a fraction, of which (2ii) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of whichfor (3iii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' shareholder rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall will not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur occur. (c) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of its Subsidiaries the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock Stock, evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence Directors of such fair market valuethe Company) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.cash (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 12.5 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the -58- 66 Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. If on any such Trading Day the Common Stock is not quoted by any organization referred to in the definition of Last Sale Price in Section 12.3 hereof, the fair value of the Common Stock on such day, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be used. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion PricePrice of the Notes; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 11.0% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen XII shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent conversion agent an Officer's Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give mail or cause to be given mailed a notice of such adjustment to each Holder holder of Securities in at his address as the manner provided in Section 106same appears on the registry books of the Company. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 12.5 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security Note surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedsuch

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Current Market Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Timedate. For purposes of this subsection (e), c) the fair market value of any consideration with respect period for determining the Current Market Price shall end immediately prior to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, that is the earlier of the ex-distribution date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to below in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedthis

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company there shall (1) make be made or pay paid a dividend (or other distribution) made a distribution in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that following the Holder record date fixed for the determination of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such date and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior theretodistribution. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after the such record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockdate. (b) In case the Company shall issue (1) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (2) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the effectiveness of such action shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and the denominator shall be the number of shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (b) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (i) and (j) below, after the effective date of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. (c) In case there shall be an issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowfixed for determination of the shareholders entitled to receive such rights, option or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following such record date shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1i) the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2ii) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3iii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants; provided, however, -------- ------- that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (bc) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plansevents, then the Conversion Price shall will not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (bc) until such triggering events occur. Upon the expiration or termination of any rights, options or warrants without the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price then in effect shall occur be adjusted immediately to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such rights, options or warrants, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued. (cd) In case the Company there shall be a distribution to all or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock Stock, of any assets, evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets securities (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or cash, (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (bc) above)above and in mergers and consolidations to which Section 13.6 applies, or (z) any distribution of rights or warrants subject to subsection (a1) below or (bany distribution in connection with a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the record date fixed for the determination of the shareholders entitled to such distribution shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock (determined as pro vided in subsection (g) below) on the such record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence Directors of such fair market valuethe Company) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (g) below). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (i) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. (e) In case there shall be made any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (d) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 13.6 applies) to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the 12 months immediately preceding the record date fixed for determination of the shareholders entitled to such distribution in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the 12 months immediately preceding the record date fixed for determining the shareholders entitled to such distribution in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15.0% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (g) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date fixed for the determination of the shareholders entitled to such distribution, in each such case the Conversion Price immediately following such record date shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (g) below) on such record date less the amount of the cash and/or fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of other consideration so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (df) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon complete a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offertender offer, as of the expiration of such other Offertender offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (ef) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (de) of this Section 1704 13.5 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price conversion price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (de) has been made, exceeds 1515.0% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on at the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on at the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following such Expiration Time shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on at the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on at the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on at the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on at the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (ef), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (fg) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d), (e) and (ef) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex 'ex' date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. If on any such Trading Day the Common Stock is not quoted by any organization referred to in the definition of Last Sale Price in Section 13.3 hereof, the fair value of the Common Stock on such day, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be used. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex 'ex' date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which or the principal automated quotation system if the Common Stock is listed or admitted to tradingtrading thereon) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (gh) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (ef) above, the Company, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law, may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for at least 20 Business Days, if the Board of Directors has made a determination, which determination shall be conclusive, that such reduction would be in the best interests of the Company. The Company will shall give notice to the Trustee and cause notice of such reduction to be permitted mailed to each Holder of Securities at such Holder's address as the same appears on the registry books of the Registrar, at least 15 days prior to the date on which such reduction commences. The Company may, at its option, also make such reductions in the Conversion Price in addition to those set forth above, as it considers the Board of Directors deems advisable to be advisable in order that avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for Federal United States federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such lawspurposes. (hi) In any case in which this Section 1704 13.5 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and on and before such adjustment shall have become effective, effective (i) defer paying any cash Cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 13.3 hereof or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment adjustment, and (ii), ) not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash Cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 13.3 hereof and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Conversion price shall be made if the event giving rise to such adjustment does not occur. (ij) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 11.0% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, provided that any adjustments which by reason of this -------- subsection (ij) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen XIII shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. In no event shall the Conversion Price be less than the par value of a share of the Company's Common Stock. (jk) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent conversion agent an Officer's Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustmentadjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give mail or cause to be given mailed a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in at such Holder's address as the manner provided in Section 106same appears on the registry books of the Registrar. Unless and until a Trust Officer has received an Officers' Certificate setting forth an adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Trustee may assume that no such adjustment has been made and that the last Conversion Price for which the Trustee has received an Officers' Certificate is the current Conversion Price. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such Officer's Certificate or the information and calculation contained therein, except to exhibit the same to any Holder deserving inspection thereof, at its office during normal business hours. (kl) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (bc) above) pro rata to holders of Common --- ---- Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, instead of making an adjustment in the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversionConversion Price, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedth

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case If the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) , in shares of Common Stock Stock, on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2ii) subdivide its the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares by any means or (3iii) combine its the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or by any means (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital including, without limitation, a reverse stock of the Companysplit), then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he that such Holder would have owned immediately following or have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such action event had such Security Note been converted immediately prior theretoto the relevant record date or, if there is no such record date, the effective date of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (aSection 1204(a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination, as the case may be. (b) If the Company shall (i) issue or distribute, at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of such Capital Stock on the date of such issuance or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness Capital Stock (excluding an issuance or other securities so distributed applicable to one share distribution of Common Stock equals described in Section 1204(a) above) or exceeds such current market (ii) issue or distribute rights, warrants, options or convertible or exchangeable securities entitling the holder thereof to subscribe for, purchase, convert into or exchange for Capital Stock at a price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 the Current Market Price per shareshare of such Capital Stock on the date of issuance or distribution, then, in each such case, at the earliest of (A) the date the Company enters into a firm contract for such issuance or distribution or (B) the date of actual issuance or distribution of any such Capital Stock or any such rights, warrants, options or convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined reduced by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such earliest date of by: (x) if such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Capital Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of is Common Stock, and a fraction the numerator of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on such earliest date plus the Expiration Time, number of shares of Common Stock which could be purchased at the Conversion Current Market Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times date of such issuance or distribution with the aggregate consideration (based on the Fair Market Value thereof) received or receivable by the Company either (A) in connection with such issuance or distribution or (B) upon the conversion, exchange, purchase or subscription of all such rights, warrants, options or convertible or exchangeable securities (the "Aggregate Consideration"), and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any earliest date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security plus the number of shares of Common Stock and other to be so issued or distributed or to be issued upon the conversion, exchange, purchase or subscription of all such rights, warrants, options or convertible or exchangeable securities; or (y) if such Capital Stock is other than Common Stock, a fraction the numerator of which is the Company Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such earliest date minus an amount equal to (or other assets or securitiesA) issuable upon the difference between of (1) the Current Market Price per share of such conversion in excess Capital Stock multiplied by the number of shares of such Capital Stock to be so issued and (2) the Aggregate Consideration, divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, and other Capital Stock the denominator of which is the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Current Market Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares per share of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversionearliest date. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate as stated in paragraph 8 of the Securities (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of (including the CompanyAnnounced Split (as defined below)), (2ii) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (3iv) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the that number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he it would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoto the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to in accordance with subsection (f) belowd) of the Common Stock this Section 4.6) on the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription (or purchase the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would purchase at such the current market price per share (determined by multiplying as defined in subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) of Common Stock on such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)record date, and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants; providedwarrants are issued, however, that if any and shall become effective immediately after such rights, options record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights or warrants issued by are exercisable not all rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (b) until such triggering events shall occur or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), cash evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities, but securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (x1) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y2) any dividend dividends or distribution for which an adjustment is required distributions referred to be made in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 4.6), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) aboveof this Section 4.6), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided defined in subsection (fd) belowof this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. (1) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a "Triggering Distribution") to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Business Day (the "Determination Date") immediately preceding the day on which such Triggering Distribution is declared by the Company multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Determination Date less the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair market valuevalue (determined as aforesaid in this Section 4.6(c)(1)) of any such other consideration so distributed, paid or payable within such 12 months (including, without limitation, the portion of the assets so distributed Triggering Distribution) applicable to one share of Common Stock, Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date) and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, immediately prior to the extent applicable, opening of business on the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionday following the date on which the Triggering Distribution is paid. (d2) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall involve the payment of aggregate consideration in an amount (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the preceding 12 months preceding the date of the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds 15an amount equal to 10.0% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined as provided in accordance with subsection (fd) belowof this Section 4.6) times as of the last date (the "Expiration Date") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the "Expiration Time") multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock then outstandingoutstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the record date of such distributionday after the Expiration Date, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of such distribution Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any tendered sharesshares held in the treasury of the Company) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the Expiration Time multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered sharesthis Section 4.6) on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time minus Date and the denominator shall be the sum of (iix) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid) payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (iless any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) such at the Expiration Time and the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesDate, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration TimeDate. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased. If the application of this Section 4.6(c)(2) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 4.6(c)(2). (3) For purposes of this subsection (eSection 4.6(c), the fair market value term "tender offer" shall mean and include both tender offers and exchange offers, all references to "purchases" of any consideration with respect shares in tender offers (and all similar references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares in tender offers and the acquisition of shares pursuant to an Offer exchange offers, and all references to "tendered shares" (and all similar references) shall be reasonably determined mean and include shares tendered in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company both tender offers and described in a Board Resolutionexchange offers. (fd) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), ) and (d) and (e) aboveof this Section 4.6, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock daily closing prices for the five 30 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 45 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 the Determination Date or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a shareExpiration Date, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights respect to distributions referred to by paragraphs or tender offers under subsection (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 4.6 or (ii) the record date with respect to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) distributions, issuances or warrants (other than those referred to in events requiring such computation under subsection (b) aboveor (c) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedthis Section 4.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of its capital stock (other than an issuance of shares of capital stock to holders of Common Stock on any class who have elected to receive a dividend in shares in lieu of Capital Stock of the Companycash), (2ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of sharesStock, (3iii) reduce, consolidate or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares shares, or (4iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so to that amount determined by multiplying the Holder Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such date by a fraction, of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion which the numerator shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date before giving effect to such division, subdivision, reduction, combination or other capital consolidation or stock dividend and of which the Company which he would have owned immediately following denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect thereto. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any such action had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoeffective date or record date shall occur. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediatelyretroactively, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, reduction, consolidation, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of If the Common Stock on issuable upon the record date mentioned below, conversion of the Conversion Price Debentures shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that changed into the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the different number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date any class or classes of issuance of such rightsstock, options whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus otherwise (B) the number other than a subdivision or combination of shares which the aggregate offering price or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and assets provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) aboveSection 7.4), subsection (a) or (b) above)then, then and in each such case the Conversion Price event, each Holder of Debentures shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without have the right thereafter to receive convert such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to Debentures into the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) kind and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number amount of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess change by the Holders of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock into which such Debentures might have been converted, as reasonably determined by the Company's board of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price directors, immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment and as provided herein. (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment c) If at any time or from time to time there shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock be a capital reorganization of the Company (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 7.4) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made as reasonably determined by the Company's board of directors so that the Holders of the Debentures shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of such Debentures, the number of shares of stock or other assets securities or securities) issuable property of the Company or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale, to which a Holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such conversioncapital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale. (id) No The adjustments provided for in this Section 7.4 are cumulative and shall apply to successive divisions, subdivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, issues, distributions or other events contemplated herein resulting in any adjustment in under the provisions of this Section, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1% of %) in the Conversion PricePrice then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (id) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (je) Whenever Upon each adjustment of the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein providedPrice, the Company shall promptly (i) file with give prompt written notice thereof addressed to the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth registered Holders at the address of such Holders as shown on the records of the Company, which notice shall state the Conversion Price after resulting from such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustmentincrease or decrease, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversionif any, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which issuable upon the principal amount conversion of such Security so convertedHolder's Debentures, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion PriceCONVERSION PRICE") for a series of Securities shall be as that price set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which paragraph 8 of the form of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Company (without duplication) as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) distribution in shares of Common Stock on any class of or other Capital Stock to all holders of the CompanyCommon Stock, (2ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4iv) issue by reclassification of reclassify its outstanding Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Capital Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he it would have owned immediately following such action or have been entitled to receive had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoto the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

If at the end of the period during which such rights, warrants or options are exercisable not all rights, warrants issued by or options shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been upon application of the foregoing adjustment substituting the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (bor the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued) until such triggering events shall occur for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered (or the convertible securities offered). (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any evidences of its indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other securities (other than Common Stock or Capital Stock) or other assets, or shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock, cash rights, warrants or other assets options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (including securitiesexcluding (i) rights, but other than options and warrants referred to in Section 10.06(b) above; (xii) regular those dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations referred to in Section 10.06(a) above; and (iii) dividends or and distributions paid exclusively in cash or (yreferred to in Section 10.06(e) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above)below, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (as determined as provided in accordance with subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of DirectorsDirectors of the Company, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets so distributed or of such rights, warrants or options issued, in each case as applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which the denominator shall be such the current market price per share (as determined in accordance with subsection (f) below) of the Common StockStock on such record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.fraction, (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value numerator of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Closing Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and (ii) the Conversion Price denominator of which shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction sum of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (iix) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders holders of Common Stock based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender or exchange offer) of all shares of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum being referred to as the "Purchased SharesPURCHASED SHARES") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (iless any Purchased Shares) such current market price per share on at the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares and the Closing Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesTime, such reduction adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. (e) In case the Company shall declare a cash dividend or cash distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the average of the Closing Price for the three consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or distribution (the "PRE-DIVIDEND SALE PRICE"), minus the fair market value full amount of any consideration with respect such cash dividend or cash distribution applicable to an Offer one share of Common Stock (the "DIVIDEND ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT"), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors Pre-Dividend Sale Price, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the numerator of the Company foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the cash and described Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to the record date for such cash dividend or cash distribution. If such cash dividend or cash distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in a Board Resolutioneffect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (dSection 10.06(b) and (ec) above, the current market price per share "CURRENT MARKET PRICE PER SHARE" of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Closing Prices of a per share of Common Stock for the five 20 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 30 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the record date with respect to any distribution, issuance or other event requiring such computation. The "ex date,CLOSING PRICE" with respect to the issuanceCommon Stock for any day shall mean the closing sale price, distribution or Offer requiring regular way, per share of Common Stock on such computation. For purposes day or, in case no such sale of this paragraphCommon Stock takes place on such day, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuanceaverage of the reported closing bid and asked prices, distribution or payments with respect to an Offerregular way, means the first date on which the per share of Common Stock trades regular way in each case on the American Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange (Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the other principal national securities or regional security exchange or other quotation system on which the Common Stock is quoted or listed or admitted to trading) without trading on such day, or, if the right Common Stock is not so quoted or listed or admitted to receive trading on any national or regional securities exchange or quotation system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices per share of Common Stock on the over-the-counter market on the day in question as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or a similar generally accepted reporting service, or, if such issuanceaverage is not so available, distribution determined in such manner as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Board of Directors for that purpose, or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) if not so determinable as provided under any applicable alternative above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares price per share of Common Stock. In Stock determined in good faith by the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion PriceBoard of Directors or, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are permitted by applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; providedlaw, howevera duly authorized committee thereof, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws whose determination shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such lawsconclusive. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted

The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In Except as hereinafter provided, in case Intersolv shall at any time after the Company shall (1) make date hereof issue or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock sell any shares of capital stock Intersolv Common Stock, for a consideration per share less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale of the Companysuch shares, or without consideration, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance or sale, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior to such action issuance or sale shall forthwith be adjusted so that reduced to a price determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to (X) the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the total number of shares of Intersolv Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted outstanding immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after such issuance or sale multiplied by the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuancesale, plus (BY) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of consideration, if any, received by Intersolv upon such issuance or sale, by (ii) the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Intersolv Common Stock outstanding on immediately after such issuance or sale. For the date purposes of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required computation to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection this paragraph (k) a), the following shall apply to such distribution.be applicable: (di) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, issuance or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number sale of shares of Intersolv Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date for a consideration part or all of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price which shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less cash, the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator consideration therefor shall be such current market price per share of deemed to be the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash received by less that $0.10 per shareIntersolv for such shares (or, if such shares of Intersolv Common Stock are offered by Intersolv for subscription, the Conversion Price subscription price, or, if shares of Intersolv Common Stock shall not be adjusted pursuant sold to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicableunderwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the provisions initial public offering price) before deducting therefrom any commissions or other expenses paid or incurred by Intersolv for any underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with the issuance of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.shares; (eii) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all issuance or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number sale of shares of Intersolv Common Stock outstanding for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash (including otherwise than as a dividend or other distribution on any tendered shares) shares of Intersolv Common Stock or on conversion or exchange of other securities of Intersolv or upon acquisition of the Expiration Timeassets or securities of another company or upon merger or consolidation with another entity), the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction amount of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator therefor other than cash shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any such consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Intersolv) as of the Company and described in date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Intersolv Common Stock, irrespective of any accounting treatment. The reclassification of securities other than Intersolv Common Stock into Intersolv Common Stock shall be deemed to involve the issuance for a Board Resolution.consideration other than cash of such Intersolv Common Stock immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive such Intersolv Common Stock; (fiii) For In case of the purpose issuance of shares of Intersolv Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of any computation under subsections obligations or of any securities of Intersolv that shall be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Intersolv Common Stock or upon the exercise of rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase shares of Intersolv Common Stock (bother than upon conversion of the Notes), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share amount of consideration received by Intersolv for such shares of Intersolv Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average sum of (A) the amount of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for consideration received by Intersolv upon the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock.

(i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a shareoptions, as the case may be. , plus (jB) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein providedconsideration, if any, other than such obligations, shares, rights or options, received by Intersolv upon such conversion, exchange, or exercise except in adjustment of interest and dividends.

In case of the issuance of shares of Intersolv Common Stock upon conversion of all or a notice portion of Notes, Intersolv shall be deemed to have received the conversion price then in effect as the consideration for each share of Intersolv Common Stock so issued; (iv) If Intersolv issues Intersolv Common Stock upon acquisition by Intersolv of the assets or securities of another company or upon merger or consolidation of Intersolv with another entity (except for a consolidation or merger referred to in Section 10.6 hereof), the consideration therefor received by Intersolv for such issuance shall be deemed to equal the cash paid and "market value" of the securities issued by Intersolv. "Market value" of securities issued shall be the lesser of the market value of the securities on the date an agreement in principle with respect to such merger, consolidation or purchase is reached among the parties or the date the agreement of consolidation, merger or purchase is executed. For purposes hereof, "market value" shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Intersolv; (v) Shares of Intersolv Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other distribution on any securities of Intersolv shall be deemed to have been issued and to be outstanding at the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution and shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.

For the purposes of calculating the Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.5(1), Holders of a Security shall be treated as if they had the right to convert the Security solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (aSection 12.5(1) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b2) In case the Company shall issue rights, options to all or warrants to substantially all holders of Common Stock rights, warrants or options entitling them such holders (for a period expiring not more than 60 days after the date of distribution) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the average Common Stock on Price for the record 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the date mentioned belowthe distribution of such rights, warrants or options was first publicly announced by the Company, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, decreased so that the same Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of issuance of for such rights, options or warrants issue by a fraction, of which, (2i) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuancepublic announcement, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering subscription or purchase price of for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered by the rights, warrants or options so issued (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities offered for subscription by such rights, warrants or purchase options) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rightsaverage Common Stock Price, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of whichand (3ii) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, public announcement plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered by such rights, warrants or options (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription by such rights, warrants or purchaseoptions are convertible), provided that no adjustment will be made if Holders of the Securities are entitled to participate in the distribution on substantially the same terms as holders of the Common Stock as if such Holders had converted their Securities solely into Common Stock immediately prior to such distribution at the then applicable Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights, warrants or options are exercisable not all rights, warrants issued by or options shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been upon application of the foregoing adjustment substituting the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (bor the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued) until such triggering events shall occur for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered (or convertible securities offered). (c3) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash other securities or other assets assets, or rights (including securities, but other than the rights distributed pursuant to the Rights Plan, if any, to the extent that such rights have been distributed to the holders of the Securities as described below), warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (xexcluding (i) regular those rights, options and warrants referred to in Section 12.5(2); (ii) those dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations referred to in Section 12.5(1); and (iii) those dividends or and distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required referred to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) aboveSection 12.5(5), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction fraction, (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock Market Price on the record date mentioned below for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the Capital Stock or evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets so distributed or of such rights, warrants or options, in each case applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Market Price on such record date, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date for such distribution; provided that if the numerator of the foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the cash and Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the distribution such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to the record date for such distribution; provided that no adjustment will be made if Holders of the Securities are entitled to participate in the distribution on substantially the same terms as holders of the Common Stock as if such Holders had converted their Securities solely into Common Stock immediately prior to such distribution at the then applicable Conversion Price; Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the distribution by the Company to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock consists of Capital Stock of, or similar Equity Interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (unless such Capital Stock or similar Equity Interests are distributed to Holders in such distribution as if such holders had converted their Securities into Common Stock), the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the record date with respect to such distribution by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the average Common Stock Price over the Spinoff Valuation Period; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the average Common Stock Price over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spinoff Valuation Period”) commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the date on which “ex-dividend trading” commences for such dividend or distribution on the New York Stock Exchange or such other national or regional exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted plus (y) the average fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors, which determination in good faith shall equal the average closing sale price where such closing sale price is available) over the Spinoff Valuation Period of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of which business on the denominator shall be such current market price per share day following the Spinoff Valuation Period; provided that the Company may in lieu of the Common Stock. Such foregoing adjustment make adequate provision so that each Holder shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of the distribution such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled with respect to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value If any dividend or distribution of the assetstype described in this Section 12.5(3) is declared but not so paid or made, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable such adjustment to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall be reversed. In any case in which this paragraph is applicable, Section 12.5(1), Section 12.5(2) and the first paragraph of this Section 12.5(3) shall not be adjusted pursuant applicable. To the extent that the Company has a share rights plan (“Rights Plan”) in effect upon conversion of Securities, the Holders of the Securities will receive, in addition to this subsection (c) the Principal Amount and the Net Shares, if any, the rights under the Rights Plan, unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of the conversion, and, to as a result, upon conversion of the extent applicableSecurities, the provisions Holder of subsection (k) shall apply the Securities would not be entitled to receive the rights, then in such distributioncase the Conversion Price will be adjusted as described in this Section 12.5(3).

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.fraction, (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value numerator of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the last time (the “Offer Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) multiplied by the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, and (ii) the Conversion Price denominator of which shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction sum of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (iix) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders holders of Common Stock based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender or exchange offer) of all shares of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Offer Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Offer Expiration Time and the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, such reduction adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Offer Expiration Time.

(f5) For In case the purpose Company shall declare a cash dividend or cash distribution during any of the Company’s quarterly fiscal periods to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock, in an aggregate amount that together with other cash dividends or distributions made during such quarterly fiscal period, exceeds the product of $0.30 (appropriately adjusted from time to time for any computation under subsections (b), (c), (dshare dividends on or subdivisions of Common Stock) and (e) above, multiplied by the current market price per share number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on any the record date for such distribution, the Conversion Price shall be deemed decreased so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the average of the Last Common Stock Price for the three consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or distribution (the “Pre-Dividend Sale Prices Price”), minus the amount of a the dividend or distribution to the extent payable in cash applicable to one share of Common Stock that exceeds $0.30 (appropriately adjusted from time to time for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days beforeany share dividends on, and ending not later thanor subdivisions of, the earlier Company’s Common Stock), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Pre-Dividend Sale Price, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the numerator of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange foregoing fraction is less than U.S.$1.00 (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereonincluding a negative amount), then on in lieu of the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the cash and Common Stock issuable upon such issuanceconversion, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Securities solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to the record date for such cash dividend or cash distribution. If such cash dividend or cash distribution is not so paid or Offermade, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (g6) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws[Reserved]. (h7) In any case in which this Section 1704 12.5 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record datedate established for purposes of this Section 12.5, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event only until a date later than three Business Days following the effective time filing by the Company with the Trustee of the event giving rise certificate described in Section 12.9) issuing to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to holder of any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effectivethe cash, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on upon such conversion over and above the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii)cash, not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion only on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the basis of the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments cash and shares the issuance of which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein providedso deferred, the Company shall promptly issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence of the right to receive such shares. (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent 8) Before taking any action which would cause an Officer's Certificate setting forth adjustment decreasing the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities would be issued for less than the par value of such conversion Common Stock, the Company will take all corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price. (9) Notwithstanding the "foregoing, in no event will the Conversion Shares")Rate exceed 104.7120 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, a number subject to adjustments in the same manner as the events described in clauses (1) through (5) of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior this Section 12.5. Further, notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.5 to the date for the distribution contrary (subject only to the holders provisions of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"second succeeding sentence), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Rate shall not exceed 79.2258 per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities, other than as a result of proportional adjustments in the manner set forth in clauses (1) through (3) above (the limitations on the Conversion Rate set forth in this sentence are herein referred to as the “Conversion Rate Cap”). The Company agrees not to take any action described in Sections 12.5(4) or 12.5(5) above if, as a result of such Security so convertedaction, the Conversion Rate adjustment that would otherwise be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.5(4) or Section 12.5(5) would be limited by the Conversion Rate Cap, unless such action would not result in a violation of Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as such rule or successor to such rule may be then in effect and interpreted by the New York Stock Exchange (or any similar rule of any other stock exchange which is the primary exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed).

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1l) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares or (3) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder holder of any Security Debenture thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security Debenture been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, price so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2ii) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3iii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur warrants. (c) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of its Subsidiaries the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock Stock, any of its assets, evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock cash or securities other than Common Stock, cash or other assets Stock (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence Directors of such fair market valuethe Company) of the portion of the assets assets, evidences of indebtedness, cash or securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively exclu- sively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 13.6 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock (any such tender offer being referred to as an "Offer") concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 1512.5% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash and the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the other consideration so distributed within such preceding 12 months applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as shall complete an "Offer") Offer that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration paid or payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring an Offer that expired within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all other all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been mademade (other than all-cash distributions made upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 13.6 applies), exceeds 1512.5% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time), the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex `ex' date," ", with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. If on any such Trading Day the Common Stock is not quoted by any organization referred to in the definition of Last Sale Price in Section 13.3 hereof, the fair value of the Common Stock on such day, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be used. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex `ex' date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange NASDAQ National Market System (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 13.5 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security Debenture converted after such record date and on and before such adjustment shall have become effective, effective (i) defer paying any cash Cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 13.3 hereof or issuing to the Holder of such Security Debenture the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment adjustment, and (ii), ) not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash Cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 13.3 hereof and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 11.0% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, PROVIDED that the Company may make any such adjustment at its election and PROVIDED FURTHER that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen XIII shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted adjust- ed as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent conversion agent an Officer's Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedand

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company If, pursuant to subsection (b) or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) shall have been adjusted because the Company has declared a dividend, or made a 102 distribution, on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share outstanding shares of Common Stock equals in the form of any right or exceeds such current market price per share warrant to purchase securities of Common Stockthe Company, or the Company has issued any such current market price exceeds right or warrant, then, upon the expiration of any such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per shareunexercised right or unexercised warrant, the Conversion Price conversion price shall not forthwith be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d)equal the conversion price that would have applied had such right or warrant never been declared, and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributiondistributed or issued. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections subsection (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices reported last sales prices for the thirty consecutive Trading Days (as defined below) commencing forty-five Trading Days before the date in question. For the purpose of a any computation under subsection (c) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the reported last sales prices for the five ten consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of before the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computationquestion.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities Price shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2ii) subdivide or split its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4iv) issue any shares of Capital Stock by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder Noteholder of any Security Notes thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock shares of Capital Stock of the Company which he that such Noteholder would have owned immediately following such action or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above had such Security Notes been converted surrendered for conversion immediately prior theretoto the occurrence of such event or the Record Date therefor, whichever is earlier. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date close of business on the Record Date for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution in the case of a dividend or distribution (except as provided in Section 14.5(k)) and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date in the case of a subdivision, split, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including Any shares of Common Stock) Stock issuable in payment of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and a dividend shall be described in a statement filed with deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the Trustee) shall determine close of business on the allocation Record Date for such dividend for purposes of calculating the adjusted Conversion Price between or among number of outstanding shares of such classes of Capital StockCommon Stock under Sections 14.5(b) and (c). (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock Current Market Price on the record date mentioned belowRecord Date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the date opening of issuance of such rights, options or warrants business on the day after the Record Date by a fraction, of which (2) fraction the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, Record Date plus (B) the number of shares which that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)Current Market Price, and of which (3) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date close of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, business on the Record Date plus (B) the total number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration or termination of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of holders shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account all consideration received for such rights, options or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. (c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 14.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 14.5(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (i) in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, (ii) exclusively in cash or (iii) referred to in Section 14.5(a) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 14.5(d) called the "Securities")), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted each Note on such date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 14.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 14.5(g) to the extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.5(d), no adjustment shall be made hereunder for any distribution of Securities if the Company makes proper provision so that each Noteholder who converts a Note (or any portion thereof) after the Record Date for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount and kind of Securities that such holder would have been entitled to receive if such holder had, immediately prior to such Record Date, converted such Note into Common Stock; provided that, with respect to any Securities that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, the foregoing provision shall only apply to the extent (and so long as) the Securities receivable upon conversion of such Note would be convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, as applicable, without any loss of rights or privileges for a period of at least 60 days following conversion of such Note. Rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's Capital Stock (either initially or under specified circumstances), which rights, options or warrants; provided, howeveruntil the occurrence of a specified event or events (the "Trigger Event") (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall not be deemed distributed for purposes of this Section 14.5(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 14.5(d) shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that if shall have resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 14.5(d), (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants issued that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plansany holders thereof, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holder thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such issuance had not occurred. (1) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be adjusted substituted as provided in this subsection "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 14.5(a) and (b) until and (2) any shares of Common Stock included in such triggering events dividend or distribution shall occur not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 14.5(a). (ce) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 14.6 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 14.5(d) for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is provided therein) in an aggregate amount that, together with (i) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.5(e) has been made, and (ii) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 14.5(f) has been made, exceeds 20.0% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 14.5(g)) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, unless the Company elects to reserve such cash for distribution to the holders of the Notes upon the conversion of the Notes so that any such holder converting Notes shall distribute receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount of cash (without any adjustment for interest) that such holder would have received if such holder had, immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution of cash, converted its Notes into Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such date by a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 20.0% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (2) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date; provided that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash (without interest) such holder would have received had such holder converted each Note on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to shareholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offer, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.5(f) has been made, and (ii) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid made exclusively in cash or within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 14.5(e) has been made, exceeds 20.0% of the product of the Current Market Price as of the last time (ythe "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (atendered shares) or (b) above)on the Expiration Time, subsection (a) or (b) above)then, then and in each such case case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock business on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith multiplied by the Board Current Market Price of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedt

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities initially shall be as that price set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which paragraph 8 of the form and terms of the Securities of such series were establishedSecurity attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, and, except as otherwise provided therein, but shall be subject to adjustment adjusted (without duplication) from time to time by the Company as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) distribution in shares of Common Stock on any class to all holders of Capital Stock of the CompanyCommon Stock, (2ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4iv) issue by reclassification of reclassify its outstanding Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Capital Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he it would have owned immediately following such action or have been entitled to receive had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoto the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock Stock, rights, warrants or options entitling them such holders (for a period commencing no earlier than the date of distribution and expiring not more than 60 days after the date of distribution) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on Market Price at the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuancerecord date, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering subscription or purchase price of for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered by the rights, warrants or options so issued (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities offered for subscription by such rights, warrants or purchase options) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)Market Price, and of which (3) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered by such rights, warrants or options (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription by such rights, warrants or purchaseoptions are convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights, warrants or options are exercisable not all rights, warrants issued by or options shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been upon application of the foregoing adjustment substituting the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (bor the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued) until such triggering events shall occur for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered (or the convertible securities offered). (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash other securities or other assets assets, or shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock, rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (including securitiesexcluding (i) rights, but other than options and warrants referred to in Section 10.05(b) above; (xii) regular those dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations referred to in Section 10.05(a) above; and (iii) dividends or and distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) abovecash), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock Market Price on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of DirectorsDirectors of the Company, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the Capital Stock or evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets so distributed applicable or of such rights, warrants or options, in each case as applicable, to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which the denominator shall be the Market Price on such current market price per share record date; provided that if the numerator of the foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the cash and Common StockStock issuable upon such conversion, the distribution such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to the record date for such distribution. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively makes a payment to common stockholders in respect of cash (excluding any cash portion a tender or exchange offer of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders consideration per share of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the having a fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer (as determined by the Company or any Board of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% a resolution of the Company's market capitalization (defined Board of Directors) that as being the product of the then current market price of last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) exceeds the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) Price on the record date of such distributionTrading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.fraction, (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value numerator of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and (ii) the Conversion Price denominator of which shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction sum of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (iix) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (iless any Purchased Shares) such current market price per share on at the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares and the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesTime, such reduction adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. (e) In case the Company shall declare a cash dividend or cash distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the average of the Common Stock Prices for the three consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or distribution (the “Pre-Dividend Sale Price”), minus the fair market value full amount of any consideration with respect such cash dividend or cash distribution applicable to an Offer one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors Pre-Dividend Sale Price, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the numerator of the Company foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the cash and described Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to the record date for such cash dividend or cash distribution. If such cash dividend or cash distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in a Board Resolutioneffect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (f) For If the purpose rights provided for in the Company’s Rights Agreement dated as of any computation under subsections January 6, 1998 (bthe “Stockholder Rights Plan”), or any subsequent similar rights agreement, have separated from the Company’s Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Stockholder Rights Plan so that the Holders of the Securities would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities, the Conversion Price will be adjusted as provided in paragraph (c), (d) and (e) above, subject to readjustment in the current market price per share event of the expiration, termination or redemption of the rights. In lieu of any such adjustment, the Company may amend the Stockholder Rights Plan to provide that upon conversion of the Securities the Holders will receive, in addition to the cash and Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights which would have attached to the shares of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average issuable upon conversion of the Last Sale Prices Securities solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price if the rights had not become separated from the Common Stock under the Stockholder Rights Plan. To the extent that the Company adopts any future rights plan, upon conversion of a share the Securities, Securityholders will receive, in addition to the cash and Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights under the future rights plan in respect of the shares of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier issuable upon conversion of the date in question and Securities solely into Common Stock at the date before then applicable Conversion Price, whether or not the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which rights have separated from the Common Stock trades regular way on at the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted time of conversion, and no adjustment to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, Conversion Price will be made in connection with any distribution or Offerof rights thereunder. (g) In addition case of a tender or exchange offer made by a Person other than the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for an amount that increases the offeror’s ownership of Common Stock to more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Stock outstanding and shall involve the payment by such Person of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) as of the Expiration Time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) that exceeds the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and in which, as of the Expiration Time the Board of Directors is not recommending rejection of the offer, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the foregoing adjustments Expiration Time by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in subsections the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (a)the shares so accepted up to any such maximum, (b), (c), (dbeing referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (ey) abovethe product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the Company will be permitted opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. If such Person is obligated to make purchase shares pursuant to any such reductions in tender or exchange offer, but such Person is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price as it considers shall again be adjusted to be advisable the Conversion Price that would then be in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock effect if such tender or stock rights will exchange offer had not been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment described in this Section 10.05(g) shall not be taxable to the holders made if, as of the shares of Common Stock. In Expiration Time, the event offering documents with respect to such offer disclose a plan or intention to cause the Company elects to make such a reduction engage in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable transaction described in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) Article 5. In any case in which this Section 1704 10.05 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record datedate established for purposes of this Section 10.05, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event only until a date later than five Business Days following the effective time filing by the Company with the Trustee of the event giving rise certificate described in Section 10.09) issuing to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to holder of any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on upon such conversion over and above the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion only on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the basis of the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments shares the issuance of which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein providedso deferred, the Company shall promptly (i) file with issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence of the Trustee and each Conversion Agent right to receive such shares. Before taking any action which would cause an Officer's Certificate setting forth adjustment decreasing the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities would be issued for less than the par value of such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date")Common Stock, the same number of rights or warrants to Company will take all corporate action which a holder of a number of may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of at such adjusted Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedPrice.

(c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. (c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall hereafter be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. (d) In case the Company shall hereafter, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.5(b) and dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash and excluding any capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 15.6 applies) (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 15.5(d) called the "Securities")), then, in each such case, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 15.5(d), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(g)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share Current Market Price (determined as provided in subsection (fSection 15.5(g)) below) of the Common Stock on the record such date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of and described in a Board Resolution) on such fair market value) date of the portion of the assets Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, Stock and of which the denominator shall be such current Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market price -------- ------- value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 15.5(g) to the extent possible. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall not be deemed to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 15.5 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5) will be required until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any such rights or warrants, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture (including the Rights), are subject to Trigger Events, upon the satisfaction of each of which such rights or warrants shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the occurrence of each such Trigger Event shall be deemed to be such date of issuance and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by the holder thereof) (so that, by way of illustration and not limitation, the dates of issuance of any Rights shall be deemed to be the dates on which such Rights become exercisable to purchase capital stock of the Company, and not the date on which such Rights may be issued, or may become evidenced by separate certificates, if such Rights are not then so exercisable). In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto (including the Rights), that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants (including the Rights) which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 15.5(d) and Sections 15.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock. Such adjustment , or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 15.5(b) applies (or both), shall become effective immediatelybe deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 15.5(b) applies (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 15.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 15.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made, except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as provided in subsection (h) below, after "the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. Notwithstanding ", "Record Date fixed for such determination" and "Record Date" within the foregoingmeaning of Section 15.5(a) and as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", in "the event that Record Date fixed for the fair market value determination of the assets, evidences stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and "such Record Date" within the meaning of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share Section 15.5(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock equals included in such dividend or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price distribution shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to deemed "outstanding at the extent applicable, close of business on the provisions date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionSection 15.5(a). (de) In case the Company shall hereafter, by dividend or any Subsidiary otherwise, distribute to all holders of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment that is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies15.6 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 15.5(d)) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i1) all the aggregate amount of any other such all-distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash distributions made within the then twelve (12) months preceding 12 months the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.5(e) has been made made, and (ii2) the aggregate of any cash and plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of other Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) of consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the twelve (12) months preceding 12 months the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 15.5(f) has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock Current Market Price (determined as provided in subsection (fSection 15.5(g)) below) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) outstanding on the record date of such distributiondate, then then, and in each such case case, immediately after the close of business on such date, unless the Company elects to reserve such cash for distribution to the holders of the Notes upon the conversion of the Notes (and shall have made adequate provision) so that any such holder converting Notes will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount of cash which such holder would have received if such holder had, immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution of cash, converted its Notes into Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of business on such distribution Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be equal to the then current market price per share Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 15% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date less the amount Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed -------- ------- applicable to one share of Common Stock equals is equal to or exceeds such current market price per share greater than the Current Market Price of the Common StockStock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or such current market price exceeds such any portion thereof) the amount of cash by less such holder would have received had such holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that $0.10 per sharesuch dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall not again be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to be the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such distributiondividend or distribution had not been declared. (ef) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer hereafter made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any shall expire and such tender or exchange offer being referred to (as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of amended upon the expiration of such Offer (thereof) shall require the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the an aggregate consideration having a fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution. ) that combined together with (f1) For the purpose aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any computation under subsections (b)other tender offers, (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier or any of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution its subsidiaries for all or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes any portion of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on expiring within the New York Stock Exchange twelve (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on 12) months preceding the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions expiration of such laws. (h) In any case tender offer and in respect of which this Section 1704 shall require that an no adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedth

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a1) In case the Company shall (1) pay or make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock distribution on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyexclusively in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that at the Holder opening of any Security thereafter surrendered business on the day next following the date fixed for conversion shall be the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other capital stock distribution on the outstanding shares of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had class of Common Stock, such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant reduction to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective opening of business on the day next following the date in fixed for such determination. For the case purposes of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection paragraph (a1), the Holder number of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Capital Stock (including the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock) . The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b2) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock consisting exclusively of, or shall otherwise issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock Stock, rights, warrants or options entitling them the holders thereof, for a period not exceeding 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined as determined pursuant to subsection provided in paragraph (f7) belowof this Section 13.4) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowfixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a pricewarrants or options, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the opening of business on the day following the date of issuance of fixed for such rights, options or warrants determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of issuance of fixed for such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, determination plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of issuance of fixed for such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, determination plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall , such reduction to become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the determination purposes of holders entitled to receive such rights this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not issue any rights, warrants or warrants; providedoptions in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, that if any such in case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants issued by ("Stockholder Rights") to all holders of its Common Stock entitling the Company as described in this subsection holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, which rights or warrants (bi) are only deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable upon and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, in each case in clauses (i) through (iii) until the occurrence of certain triggering events relating a specified event or event ("Trigger Event"), such Stockholder Rights shall for purposes of this Section 13.4 not be deemed issued or distributed until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event and the conversion price shall not be reduced until the occurrence of such earliest Trigger Event. If at the end of the period during which all such warrants, options or rights are exercisable, not all such warrants, options or rights shall have been exercised, the conversion price shall be immediately readjusted to control and provided for what it would have been had the above fraction been computed based on the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued in shareholders' rights plansrespect of such warrants, then options or rights, as the case may be. (3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall not be adjusted proportionately reduced by multiplying such conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares 91 of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective before giving effect to such subdivision and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the day such subdivision becomes effective after giving effect to such subdivision, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased by multiplying such conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the day upon which such combination becomes effective before giving effect to such combination and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the day such combination becomes effective after giving effect to such combination such reduction or increase, as provided in this subsection (b) until the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such triggering events shall occur subdivision or combination becomes effective. (c4) In Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (4), in case the Company shall, by dividend or any of its Subsidiaries shall otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stockany class of capital stock, securities, cash or other assets property (including securitiesexcluding any rights, but other than warrants, options or Stockholder Rights referred to in paragraph (x2) regular dividends of this Section 13.4, any dividend or distributions distribution paid exclusively in cash or (y) and any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required referred to be made in accordance with subsection paragraph (a1) or (b) aboveof this Section 13.4), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date effectiveness of such distribution the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph (4) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection paragraph (f7) belowof this Section 13.4) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below of such effectiveness less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence and described in a Board Resolution), on the date of such fair market value) effectiveness, of the portion of the assets evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, cash and property so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, Stock and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall , such reduction to become effective immediatelyimmediately prior to the opening of business on the day next following the later of (a) the date fixed for the payment of such distribution and (b) the date 20 days after the notice relating to such distribution is given pursuant to Section 13.6(a) (such later date of (a) and (b) being referred to as the "Reference Date"). If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising such distribution, it must in doing so consider, among any other facts or advice it deems relevant, the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the current market price per share pursuant to paragraph (7) of this Section. For purposes of this paragraph (4), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock shall be deemed instead to be (a) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, cash, property, shares of capital stock or securities other than such shares of Common Stock or such rights, warrants or options (making any Conversion Price reduction required by this paragraph (4)) immediately followed by (b) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights (making any further Conversion Price reduction required by paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section 13.4, except (i) the Reference Date of such dividend or distribution as provided defined in subsection this paragraph (h4) below, after shall be substituted as "the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness dividend or other securities so distributed applicable distributions", "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to one share receive such rights, warrants or options" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this Section 13.4 and (ii) any shares of Common Stock equals included in such dividend or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price distribution shall not be adjusted pursuant to deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (1) of this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionSection 13.4). (d5) In case the Company shall, by dividend or any Subsidiary of the Company shall otherwise, make any a distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of its Common Stock exclusively in cash in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all other such all-holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (5) has been made and (ii) the aggregate of any cash and plus the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of other Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of the tender or exchange offer referred to below, of consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender or exchange offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of its Subsidiaries for the Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (6) of this Section 13.4 has been made, exceeds 1510% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock per share (determined as provided in subsection paragraph (f7) belowof this Section 13.4) of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date fixed for stockholders entitled to receive such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) outstanding on the such record date of such distributiondate, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date effectiveness of such distribution the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph (5) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (7) of this Section 13.4) of the Common Stock on the date of such effectiveness less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date less and (ii) the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and denominator of which the denominator shall be such equal to the current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall on such record date, such reduction to become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection immediately prior to the opening of business on the later of (ha) below, after the day following the record date fixed for the determination payment of stockholders entitled such distribution and (b) the date 20 days after the notice relating to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted distribution is given pursuant to this subsection (dSection 13.6(a), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e6) In case there shall be completed a successful tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) at the expiration of such Offer last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) that, together with (i) any the aggregate of the cash and plus the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of any Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of the other tender or exchange offer referred to below, of consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as tender or exchange offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection paragraph (e6) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of the Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the preceding 12 months preceding the expiration and in respect of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection paragraph (d5) of this Section 13.4 has been made, exceeds 1510% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection paragraph (f7) belowof this Section 13.4) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced (but not increased) so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection paragraph (f7) belowof this Section 13.4) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on at the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on at the Expiration Time (including any tendered shares) less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes ; provided, that if the number of Purchased Shares or the aggregate consideration payable therefor have not been finally determined by such opening of business, the adjustment required by this subsection (e)6) shall, pending such final determination, be made based upon the fair market value number of any Purchased Shares and the aggregate consideration with respect payable therefor as so finally determined, effectively immediately prior to an Offer the opening of business on the day immediately following the day such final determination shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolutionhave been made. (f7) For the purpose of any computation under subsections this paragraph and paragraphs (b2), (c), (d4) and (e5) aboveof this Section 13.4, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date in question shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale daily Closing Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five 10 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of immediately preceding the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Pricequestion; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if the "ex" date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such conversion computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) or (6) above ("Other Event") occurs on or after the 10th Trading Day prior to the date in question and prior to the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing requiring such rights or warrants computation (the "Distribution DateCurrent Event"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of "ex" date for such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedOther Event shall b

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities Price shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: (a) In case the Company Company, after the date of this Indenture, shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares shares, or (4iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock Capital Stock of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder holder of any Security Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock Capital Stock of the Company which he that it would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had such Security Note been converted immediately prior theretoto the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date date, in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective distribution, or immediately after the effective date date, in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder holder of any Security Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including or shares of Common Stock) Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Company with the TrusteeTrustee and with any Conversion Agent as soon as practicable) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock or shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company Company, after the date of this Indenture, shall issue rights, warrants or options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination for shareholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (fh) belowof this Section 5.7) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same it shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, warrants or options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, warrants or options or warrants, (immediately prior to such issuance), plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchase) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, warrants or options or warrants, (immediately prior to such issuance, ) plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchasepurchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchase are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued, and shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of holders stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, warrants or warrants; providedoptions. In determining whether any rights, howeverwarrants or options entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at less than such current market price, that if and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock (or conversion price of such convertible securities), there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, warrants or options or warrants issued (and for such convertible securities), the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a certificate filed with the Trustee and with any Conversion Agent by the Company as described in this subsection (b) soon as practicable). If at the end of the period during which such warrants, rights or options are only exercisable upon not all such warrants, rights or options shall have been exercised, the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been based on the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (b) until such triggering events shall occur or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). (c) In case the Company or any Company, after the date of its Subsidiaries this Indenture, shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock (other than Common Stock, cash ) evidences of its indebtedness or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular excluding dividends or distributions paid payable exclusively in cash or (y) and any dividend or distribution issuance of Capital Stock pursuant to reclassifications for which an adjustment is required pursuant to be made in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 5.7) or rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Capital Stock of the Company (excluding those referred to in subsection (b) above)of this Section 5.7) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Capital Stock at a price per share less than the fair market value of such Capital Stock (as determined by the Board of Directors, subsection (a) or (b) abovewhose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (as determined as provided in pursuant to subsection (fh) belowof this Section 5.7) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valueand shall be described in a certificate filed with the Trustee and with any Conversion Agent by the Company as soon as practicable) of the portion of the Capital Stock or the evidences of indebtedness or the assets so distributed to the holder of one share of Common Stock or of such subscription rights, warrants or options applicable to one share of Common Stock, Stock and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. If at the end of the period during which warrants, rights or options described in this subsection (c) are exercisable not all such warrants, rights or options shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been based on the number of warrants, rights or options actually exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assetsCapital Stock, evidences of indebtedness indebtedness, assets, subscription rights, warrants or other securities options so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such the current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Company may, in lieu of making an adjustment in the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and), make adequate provision so that each Noteholder who converts such Note after the record date for such distribution will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to shares of Common Stock, the amount of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, subscription rights, warrants or options such Noteholder would have received had such Note been converted immediately prior to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to record date for such distribution. (d) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 5.7 to the contrary, with respect to any rights, warrants or options covered by subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 5.7, if such rights, warrants or options are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then for purposes of this Section 5.7 such rights, warrants or options shall not be deemed issued or distributed, and any adjustment to the Conversion Price required by subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 5.7 shall not be made until such triggering events occur and such rights, warrants or options become exercisable. (e) In case the Company, after the date of this Indenture, shall (i) issue shares of its Common Stock (excluding those issuances referred to in subsection (a) or (b) to this Section 5.7) at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (h) of this Section 5.7) on the date the Company fixes the offering price of such additional shares or (ii) issue any options, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock (such options, warrants or other securities being collectively referred to herein as "Equity Interests") for a consideration per share of Common Stock initially deliverable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (h) of this Section 5.7) then, in either case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced immediately thereafter so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered, or, in the case of clause (ii) above, the aggregate consideration for the issuance of such Equity Interests, would purchase at the current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares, or, in the case of clause (ii) above, such number of outstanding shares plus the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion or in exchange for or upon exercise of such Equity Interests at the initial conversion, exchange or exercise price. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made. This subsection (e) does not apply to: (i) any transaction described in subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 5.7; or (ii) the issuance of the Notes or the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes, or (iii) the issuance of Common Stock upon (i) the exercise of any Equity Interests issued after the date of the Indenture, to the extent that any required adjustment to the Conversion Price has been made pursuant to this subsection (e); (ii) the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Equity Interest outstanding on the date of this issuance, or pursuant to any contract or other arrangement described in the Offering Memorandum; or (iv) any Common Stock or Equity Interests issued to the Company's (or any Subsidiary Subsidiary's) employees, consultants or directors pursuant to any plan or agreement approved by either the stockholders of the Company shall make or a majority of the Company's independent directors; or (v) the issuance of any distribution consisting exclusively Common Stock or Equity Interests in any bona fide underwritten public offering. (f) In case the Company, after the date of cash (excluding this Indenture, shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) time distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (including any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in subsection (c) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all other such all-holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months preceding the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (f) has been made and (ii) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of such date of determination, of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or a subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock consummated within 12 months preceding the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to subsection (g) of this Section has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (h) of this Section) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (h) of this Section) on the date fixed for such determination less the amount of cash so distributed during such period applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the date after the date fixed for such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the amount of cash and the fair market value of such consideration so distributed exceeds the current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Company may, in lieu of making an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection (f), make adequate provision so that each Noteholder who converts such Note after the record date for such distribution will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash or other consideration such Noteholder would have received had such Note been converted immediately prior to the record date for such distribution. (g) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any subsidiary, after the date of this Indenture, for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall be consummated and such tender offer shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") that tenders may be made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) that, together with (i) aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the consummation of such tender offer, of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring consummated within the 12 months preceding the expiration consummation of such Offer tender offer and in respect for of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (eg) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the expiration consummation of such Offer for tender offer and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (df) has of this Section has. been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) belowh) of the Common Stock on this Section) immediately prior to the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on at the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedfractio

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities Price shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment ------------------------------ adjusted from time to time by the Issuer as follows: (a) In case the Company Issuer shall (1) make or hereafter pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that at the Holder opening of any Security thereafter surrendered business on the date following the date fixed for conversion shall be the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date (for purposes of this Article XI, as defined in Section 11.5(h)) fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following distribution, such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant reduction to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in opening of business on the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassificationday following the Record Date. If as a result any dividend or distribution of an adjustment made pursuant to the type described in this subsection (a)Section 11.5(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockdistribution had not been declared. (b) In case the Company Issuer shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) days after the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share Current Market Price (as determined pursuant to subsection (fdefined in Section 11.5(h)) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowRecord Date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the opening of business on the date of issuance of after such rights, options or warrants Record Date by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, Record Date plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)Current Market Price, and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date close of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, business on the Record Date plus (B) the total number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for the determination of holders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, however, that if any upon the expiration or termination of such rights, options rights or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted as provided to be the Conversion Price which would then be in this subsection (b) until effect if such triggering events date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall occur be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. (c) In case the Company outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be split or any subdivided into a greater number of its Subsidiaries shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. (d) In case the Issuer shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Issuer (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 11.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than excluding (xi) regular any rights or warrants referred to in Section 11.5(b) and, (ii) dividends and distributions (1) in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or distributions winding up of the Issuer or paid (2) exclusively in cash or and (yiii) any dividend capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 11.6 applies) unless the Issuer elects to reserve such securities for distribution to the Holders upon conversion of the Securities so that any such holder converting Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such securities which such holder would have received if such holder had converted its Securities into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section 11.5(h) for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (asuch distribution of the Securities) or (b) above)then, subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 11.5(h)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share Current Market Price (determined as provided in subsection (fSection 11.5(h)) below) of the Common Stock on the record such date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of and described in a Board Resolution) on such fair market value) date of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesCurrent Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration TimeRecord Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market -------- ------- value (as so determined) of the portion of such securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of such securities such holder would have received had such holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. For purposes In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of this subsection (e), Directors determines the fair market value of any consideration with respect distribution for purposes of this Section 11.5(d) by reference to an Offer shall be reasonably determined the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in good faith by doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the "Reference Period") used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 11.5(h) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a board resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Company and described Holder. In the event that the Issuer implements a shareholder rights plan, such rights plan shall provide that upon conversion of the Securities the Holders will receive, in a Board Resolution. (f) For addition to the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) aboveCommon Stock issuable upon such conversion, the current market price per share rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a shareholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of this Section 11.5(d). Rights or warrants distributed by the Issuer to all holders of Common Stock on entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Issuer's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 11.5(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 11.5(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any date of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the average date of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, issuance and ending not later than, the earlier of the record date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the issuanceexisting right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes deemed distribution) of this paragraphrights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the term "ex date," when used type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which under this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment11.5(d), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying in the case of any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 such rights or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (warrants which shall all have been redeemed or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii)repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless readjusted upon such adjustment would require an increase final redemption or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required repurchase to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made give effect to the nearest cent such distribution or to the nearest one-hundredth of a shareTrigger Event, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted , as herein providedthough it were a cash distribution, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 equal to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) per share redemption or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed repurchase price received by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares a holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants with respect to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the same number date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued. For purposes of this Section 11.5(d) and Sections 11.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 11.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 11.5(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (i) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 11.5(b) applies (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 11.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (ii) a holder dividend or distribution of a number of such shares of Common Stock equal or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 11.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made, except (A) the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time Record Date of such conversion in accordance with dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the terms date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution", "Record Date fixed for such determination" and provisions "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 11.5(a) and applicable as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to the receive such rights or warrants", "the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and "such Record Date" within the meaning of Section 11.5(b) and (iiB) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of any shares of Common Stock into which included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the principal amount close of business on the date fixed for such Security so converteddetermination" within the meaning of Section 11.5(a)).

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (3iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action event shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he it would have owned immediately following or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such action event had such Security the Note been converted immediately prior theretoto the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (aSection 5.7(a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution except as provided in Section 5.7(f), and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassificationcombination. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a)any dividend or distribution is not paid or made, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made Conversion Price then in good faith, be conclusive and effect shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockappropriately readjusted. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) Current Market Price of the Common Stock on at the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur .

The adjustment provided for in this Section 5.7(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately, except as provided in Section 5.7(f) below after such record date. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of the shares of Common Stock so offered, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board (whose determination, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive). If any or all of such rights or warrants are not so issuedor expire or terminate without having been exercised, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be appropriately readjusted. (c) In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid from retained earnings of the Company) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those referred to in Section 5.7(b)) then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of the distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of DirectorsBoard, whose determination shalldetermination, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valueconclusive) of the portion of the capital stock or assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable distributed, or of the rights or warrants so distributed, with respect to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share the Current Market Price of the Common StockStock on the record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) belowSection 5.7(f), after the record date for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value If any such distribution is not made or if any or all of the assets, evidences of indebtedness such rights or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals warrants expire or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per shareterminate without having been exercised, the Conversion Price then in effect shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionappropriately readjusted. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an No adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying required unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Price Price; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 5.7(d) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in effect immediately prior any subsequent adjustment; and provided, further, that adjustments shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Article V (other than this Section 5.7(d)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax free nature of a distribution to the date holders of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share shares of Common Stock, and of which the denominator . All calculations under this Article V shall be such current market price per share made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per a share, as the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributioncase may be. (e) In case there Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the conversion agent an officers' certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after the adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring the adjustment, which certificate shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary conclusive evidence of the Company for all or any portion correctness of the Common Stock (any adjustment if such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% good faith. Promptly after delivery of the product certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) adjustment of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price in effect immediately prior and the date on which the adjustment becomes effective and shall mail the notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price to the Expiration Time by a fraction Holder of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined each Note at its last address as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock shown on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board ResolutionRegister. (f) For In any case in which this Section 5.7 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the purpose Company may defer until the occurrence of the event (i) issuing to the Holder of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) Note after the record date and (e) above, before the current market price per share occurrence of the event the additional shares of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be issuable upon the average conversion by reason of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected adjustment required by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, event over and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which above the Common Stock trades regular way on issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to the New York Stock Exchange adjustment and (or if not listed or admitted ii) paying to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fractional share pursuant to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or OfferSection 5.5 above. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments set forth in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (ec) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which the event that the provisions of this Section 1704 shall require that 5.7 fail as a result of an unintentional oversight to provide expressly for the adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) Conversion Price or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion under circumstances that, based upon the purposes and other Capital Stock intentions expressed in this Article V, would otherwise have been addressed, the Board of Directors of the Company (shall, in good faith cause an equitable adjustment to be made to the Conversion Price or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion to correct such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedan oversight.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities Price ------------------------------- shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: (a) In case If the Company shall (1) make or hereafter pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that at the Holder opening of any Security thereafter surrendered business on the date following the date fixed for conversion shall be the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 12.04(g)) fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following distribution, such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant reduction to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in opening of business on the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassificationday following the Record Date. If as a result any dividend or distribution of an adjustment made pursuant to the type described in this subsection (a)Section 12.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockdistribution had not been declared. (b) In case If the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share Current Market Price (as determined pursuant to subsection defined in Section 12.04 (fg)) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date Record Date fixed for the determination of holders stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Current Market Price and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. (c) If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. (d) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.04(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants of a type referred to in Section 12.04(b) and dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash and excluding any capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 12.10 applies) (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 12.04(d) called the "Securities"), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 12.04(g)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share Current Market Price (determined as provided in subsection (fSection 12.04(g)) below) of the Common Stock on the record such date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on such fair market value) date of the portion of the assets Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, Stock and of which the denominator shall be such current Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided, however, that, in the event -------- ------- the then fair market price value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of Debentures shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Debenture (or any portion thereof) the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted such Debenture (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.04(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 12.04(g) to the extent possible. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.04(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.04(d) shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.04(d) shall be made. If any such rights or warrants, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of each of which such rights or warrants shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be such date of issuance and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.04 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.04(d) to the contrary, rights, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, other securities, cash or other assets (including, without limitation, any rights distributed pursuant to any stockholder rights plan) shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.04(d) if the Company makes proper provision so that each holder of Debentures who converts a Debenture (or any portion thereof) after the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount and kind of such distributions that such holder would have been entitled to receive if such holder had, immediately prior to such determination date, converted such Debenture into Common Stock. Such adjustment For purposes of this Section 12.04(d) and Sections 12.04(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.04(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 12.04(b) applies (or both), shall become effective immediatelybe deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 12.04(b) applies (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 12.04(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price 75 reduction required by Sections 12.04(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except that (a) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as provided in subsection (h) below, after "the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. Notwithstanding ", "Record Date fixed for such determination" and "Record Date" within the foregoingmeaning of Section 12.04(a) and as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", in "the event that Record Date fixed for the fair market value determination of the assetsstockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and "such Record Date" within the meaning of Section 12.04(b), evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share and (b) any shares of Common Stock equals included in such dividend or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price distribution shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to deemed "outstanding at the extent applicable, close of business on the provisions date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionSection 12.04(a). (de) In case If the Company shall, by dividend or any Subsidiary otherwise, distribute to all holders of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment that is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies12.10 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 12.04(d)) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i1) all the aggregate amount of any other such all-distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.04(e) has been made made, and (ii2) the aggregate of any cash and plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of other Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 12.04(f) has been made, exceeds 1510% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock Current Market Price (determined as provided in subsection (fSection 12.04(g)) below) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) outstanding on the record date of such distributiondate, then then, and in each such case case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of business on such distribution Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be equal to the then current market price per share Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such record date less Record Date; provided, however, that, if the amount portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so -------- ------- distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals is equal to or exceeds such current market price per share greater than the Current Market Price of the Common StockStock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of Debentures shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Debenture (or such current market price exceeds such any portion thereof) the amount of cash by less that $0.10 per sharesuch holder would have received had such holder converted such Debenture (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall not again be adjusted pursuant to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Any cash distribution to all holders of Common Stock as to which the Company makes the election permitted by Section 12.04(m) and as to which the Company has complied with the requirements of such Section shall be treated as not having been made for all purposes of this subsection (dSection 12.04(e), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (ef) In case there shall be completed If a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any expires and such tender or exchange offer being referred to (as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of amended upon the expiration of such Offer (thereof) requires the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender offer) of all shares validly tendered Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and not withdrawn as described in a resolution of the Expiration Time Board of Directors) that, combined together with (1) the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as aggregate of the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), cash plus the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board Resolution. (f) For of Directors), as of the purpose expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any computation under subsections (b)other tender offers, (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier or any of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (1) If the Company pays or makes a dividend or other distribution (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of on its Common Stock exclusively in Common Stock or (b) on any other class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of which dividend or distribution includes Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that at the Holder opening of any Security thereafter surrendered business on the day following the date fixed for conversion shall be the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution (the "Dividend Record Date") shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following outstanding at the close of business on the Dividend Record Date and the denominator shall be the sum of such action had number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and other distribution. Such reduction shall become effective immediately after the effective opening of business on the day following the date in fixed for such determination. For the case purposes of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection paragraph (a1), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. (2) Subject to paragraph (6) of this Section, if the Company pays or makes a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock consisting exclusively of Short Term Rights (as defined below), or otherwise issues Short Term Rights to all holders of its Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the record date for the determination of issuance holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to Short Term Rights (the "Rights Record Date") shall be reduced by multiplying such issuance, plus (B) Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on the Rights Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, Rights Record Date plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment reduction shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration TimeRights Record Date. For the purposes of this subsection paragraph (e2), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), at any time outstanding shall not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedinclude

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class to holders of Capital Stock of the CompanyCommon Stock, (2ii) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares of Common Stock or (3iv) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security Securities been converted immediately prior thereto. An Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants and expiring not more than 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock Current Market Price on the such record date mentioned belowdate, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which which (2i) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number offered shares of shares Common stock (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchase offered) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)Current Market Price, and of which (3ii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment adjustments shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the such record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur date. (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock evidences shares of indebtedness, shares any class of Capital Stock of the Company other than Common Stock, cash evidences of indebtedness or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) abovedividends), or shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for securities (other than those securities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock Current Market Price on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valuevalue and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which (ii) the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common StockCurrent Market Price. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock distribute rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants to subscribe for securities (other than those the rights or warrants referred to in subsection (b) above) ("Rights") pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.06, make proper provision so that each holder of a Security who converts such Security (or any portion thereof) after the Holder record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of any Security surrendered for conversion will the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants Rights to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants Rights of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, Rights; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants Rights to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such the Security so convertedconverted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute to substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section) in an -22- aggregate amount that, together with the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made in cash plus (y) all Excess Payments, in each case made within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to such distribution (the "Distribution Record Date") and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (e) of this Section or this paragraph (d) has been made, exceeds 5% of the product of the Current Market Price on the Distribution Record Date times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution Record Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph (d) by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on the Distribution Record Date less the amount of such cash and other consideration (including any Excess Payments) so distributed applicable to one share (based on the pro rata portion of the aggregate amount of such cash and other consideration (including any Excess Payments), divided by the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution Record Date of Common Stock and (ii) the denominator shall be such Current Market Price on the Distribution Record Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Distribution Record Date.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall ------------------------------ (1i) make or pay a dividend (dividend, or other make a distribution) , in shares of its Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Companyits Common Stock, (2ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares or (3iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock shares, the denominator of the Company, the Conversion Price Ratio in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which that he would have owned immediately following such action or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Security Note been converted immediately prior theretobefore the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price Current Market Price per share (of Common Stock at the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, except as determined pursuant to provided in subsection (f) below) , the denominator of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price Ratio in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the denominator of the Conversion Price Ratio in effect immediately prior to before the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, warrants plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price Current Market Price (determined by multiplying such the total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options rights or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market pricethe Current Market Price), and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, warrants plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately, except immediately after such record date. Except as provided in subsection (hf) below, after in determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the record date holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the determination aggregate offering price of holders entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants; provided, howeverthe value of such consideration, that if any such rightsother than cash, options or warrants issued to be determined in good faith by the Company as Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive and described in an Officers' Certificate filed with the Trustee. Upon the expiration of any right or warrant to purchase Common Stock the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the denominator of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this subsection (b) are only exercisable ), if any such right or warrant shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the denominator of the Conversion Ratio shall immediately upon such expiration be recomputed to the denominator of the Conversion Ratio which would have been in effect had the adjustment of the denominator of the Conversion Ratio made upon the occurrence issuance of certain triggering events relating such rights or warrants been made on the basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such rights or warrants actually exercised. If the Company shall at any time issue two or more securities as a unit and one or more of such securities shall be rights or warrants for Common Stock subject to control this Section 10.5(b), the consideration allocated to each such security shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive and provided for described in shareholdersan Officers' rights plans, then Certificate filed with the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur Trustee. (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock, cash ) or other evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (including securitiessecurities but excluding those rights, but other than (x) regular warrants, dividends or and distributions paid exclusively referred to in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection subsections (a) or and (b) aboveabove and dividends and distributions in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or paid in cash), then, except as provided in subsection (af) or (b) above)below, then in each such case the denominator of the Conversion Price Ratio shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the denominator of the Conversion Price Ratio in effect immediately prior to before the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value Fair Market Value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shallshall be conclusive, if made and described in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market valuean Officers' Certificate filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the Capital Stock or assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price the Current Market Price per share of the Common StockStock on such record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive received such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (cf) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionbelow. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) time distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (x) any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with any fiscal quarter does not exceed the greater of (i) all other such all-the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash distributions made within dividend on the then preceding 12 months in respect Common Stock to the extent not requiring any adjustment of which no adjustment has been made the denominator of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this subparagraph (d) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock) and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 153.75% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product average of the then current market price daily Closing Prices on The Neuer Markt of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times Stock, for the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect ten consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend and (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary), then, in such case, unless the Company elects to reserve such cash for distribution to the Holders of the Notes upon the conversion of the Notes so that any such Holder converting Notes will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the Conversion Shares to which such Holder is entitled, the amount of cash which such Holder would have received if such Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for such distribution of cash, converted its Notes into Conversion Shares, the denominator of the Conversion Ratio shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the number determined by multiplying the denominator of the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share Current Market Price of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock, Stock and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall , such reduction to become effective immediatelyimmediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date; provided, except as provided in subsection (h) belowhowever, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, that in the event that the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals is equal to or exceeds greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on such current market price per share record date, in lieu of Common Stockthe foregoing adjustment, or such current market price exceeds such adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Notes shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash by less such Holder would have received had he converted each Note on such record date. In the event that $0.10 per sharesuch dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the denominator of the Conversion Price Ratio shall not again be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to be the extent applicable, denominator of the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to Conversion Ratio which would then be in effect if such distributiondividend or distribution had not been declared. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any shall expire and such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate shall involve the payment by the Company or such Subsidiary of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value as of Fair Market Value at the expiration of such Offer last time (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been tenders or exchanges --------------- may be made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all by holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection offer (das it shall have been amended) has been made, that exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the denominator of the Conversion Price Ratio shall be reduced so that such denominator shall equal the number determined by multiplying such the denominator of the Conversion Price Ratio in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the Expiration Time minus multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time and the denominator shall be the sum of (iix) the fair market value Fair Market Value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of the number of ---------------- shares of Common Stock outstanding (iless any Purchased Shares) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number and the Current Market Price of outstanding shares the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesTime, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e)In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors denominator of the Company and described Conversion Ratio shall again be adjusted to be the denominator of the Conversion Ratio which would then be in a Board Resolutioneffect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. (f) For No adjustment in the purpose denominator of the Conversion Ratio shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% in the denominator of the Conversion Ratio then in effect; provided, however, that any computation under subsections adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph (b), (c), (df) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and (e) abovetaken into account in determining whether any subsequent adjustment shall be required. Except as provided in this Section 10.5, the current market price per share denominator of the Conversion Ratio will not be adjusted for the issuance of Common Stock on or any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without carrying the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offerpurchase any of the foregoing. (g) Whenever the conversion price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any conversion agent other than the Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth the denominator of the Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the denominator of the Conversion Ratio setting forth the adjusted denominator of the Conversion Ratio and the date on which such adjustment becomes effective and shall mail or cause to be mailed such notice of such adjustment of the denominator of the Conversion Ratio to the Holder of each Note at his last address appearing on the Note register provided for in Section 2.3 of this Indenture. (h) In any case in which this Section 10.5 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Note converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 10.3. (i) The Company may make such reductions in the denominator of the Conversion Ratio, in addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections those required by subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) aboveof this Section 10.5, as the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or in order that any event treated as such for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend purposes. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may reduce the denominator of stock or stock rights will not be taxable the Conversion Ratio by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days, the reduction is irrevocable during such period, and the Board of Directors (or, to the holders extent permitted by applicable law, a duly authorized committee thereof) shall have made a determination that such reduction would be in the best interests of the shares Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the denominator of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion PriceRatio is reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall comply with the requirements mail to holders of Rule 14e-1 record of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and Notes a notice of the reduction at least 15 days prior to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with date the reduction reduced denominator of the Conversion Price; Ratio takes effect, and such notice shall state the reduced denominator of the Conversion Ratio and the period it will be in effect. (j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.5, no adjustment to the denominator of the Conversion Ratio shall reduce the denominator of the Conversion Ratio below the then par value per share of the Common Stock, and any such purported adjustment shall instead reduce the denominator of the Conversion Ratio to such par value. The Company hereby covenants not to take any action (i) to increase the par value per share of the Common Stock or (ii) that would or does result in any adjustment in the denominator of the Conversion Ratio that, if made without giving effect to the previous sentence, would cause the denominator of the Conversion Ratio to be less than the then par value per share of the Common Stock, provided, however, that any provisions of the covenant in this Indenture which conflict with such laws sentence shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions suspended if within ten days of determining in good faith that such laws. (h) In any case action would result in which this Section 1704 shall require that an such adjustment (including by reason of but not later than the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately Business Day next following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shallgives notice of redemption of all outstanding Notes, with respect and effects the redemption referred to any Security converted after in such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only notice on the basis of redemption date referred to therein in compliance with Article III, but the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment covenant in the Conversion Price this sentence shall be required unless retroactively reinstated if such adjustment would require an increase notice is not given or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are such redemption does not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106occur. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) provisions of this Section 1704 Article X specifying the methods by which the Conversion Price or other provisions are adjusted would require an adjustment that is determined in good faith by the Board of Directors to be inconsistent with the purpose of the provisions hereof providing for Conversion Price adjustments or other adjustments (generally, to place Holders in a position equivalent to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to position they were in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for occurrence of the distribution event requiring adjustment to the holders of rights Conversion Price or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedothe

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment adjustments, calculated by the Company, from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or hereafter pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that at the Holder opening of any Security thereafter surrendered business on the date following the date fixed for conversion shall be the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 10.04(g)) fixed for such determination; and (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other capital stock distribution payable to the holders of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoCommon Stock. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and Such reduction shall become effective immediately after the effective date in opening of business on the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassificationday following the Record Date. If as a result any dividend or distribution of an adjustment made pursuant to the type described in this subsection (a)Section 10.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockdistribution had not been declared. (b) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. (c) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants (other than any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.04(d)) to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price per share Current Market Price (as determined pursuant to subsection (fdefined in Section 10.04(g)) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date Record Date fixed for the determination of holders stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such Current Market Price, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered to the holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 10.04(a) or Section 10.4(g) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.04(c), (2) any stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) distributed in connection with a reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 10.11 hereof applies and (3) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash (the securities described in foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) hereinafter in this Section 10.04(d) called the "excluded securities"), then, in each -62- such case, subject to the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 10.04(d), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 10.04(g)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction fraction: (1) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share Current Market Price (determined as provided in subsection (fSection 10.04(g)) below) of the Common Stock on the record such date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of and set forth in a Board Resolution) on such fair market value) date of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed (other than excluded securities) applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock outstanding on such record date less the amount of Record Date), and (2) the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and denominator of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common StockCurrent Market Price. Such adjustment reduction shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration TimeRecord Date. For purposes However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of this subsection the portion of the securities so distributed (e)other than excluded securities) applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of securities so distributed (other than excluded securities) such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any consideration with respect distribution for purposes of this Section 10.04(d) by reference to an Offer shall be reasonably determined the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution (other than excluded securities), it must in good faith by doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the "Reference Period") used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 10.04(g) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For Resolution determines in good faith that determining the purpose fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share Holder. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock on entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 10.04(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 10.04(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any date of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the average date of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, issuance and ending not later than, the earlier of the record date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the issuanceexisting right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (ddistribution) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and or any Trigger Event or other event (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which type described in the principal amount of such Security so convertedpreceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 10.04(d):

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities Price shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, pay a dividend (or other distribution) otherwise make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on any class of Capital the Common Stock of the Company, Record Date fixed for such determination; and (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution. Such reduction shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day on which such dividend or distribution is paid by the Company. (b) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of sharesshares of Common Stock, (3) then the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock proportionately increased. Such reduction or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediatelyincrease, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and may be, shall become effective immediately after the effective date in opening of business on the case of a subdivision, day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockbecomes effective. (bc) In case the Company shall issue rightsshall, options at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, distribute rights or warrants (other than any rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.3(e)) to all holders of its shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for of Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) Current Market Value of the Common Stock on the record Business Day immediately preceding the date mentioned belowof the announcement of such issuance (treating the conversion or exercise price per share of the securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock as equal to (x) the sum of (i) the price for a unit of the security convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock and (ii) any additional consideration initially payable upon the conversion of such security into or exercise of such security for Common Stock divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock initially underlying such security), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplyingmultiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date numerator of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuanceannouncement, plus (B) the number of shares or securities which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares or securities so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exercise price of the securities so offered) would purchase at such current market Current Market Value of the Common Stock; and (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of announcement, plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the securities so offered are convertible or exercisable). Such adjustment shall become effective at the opening of business on the date following the Common Stock Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Value of the Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. (d) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, pay a dividend or otherwise make a distribution in cash, whether periodic, special, extraordinary, non-recurring or other (excluding cash that is distributed in connection with a transaction described under Section 15.4) to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Common Stock Record Date fixed for such determination minus the amount of the cash distribution per share; and (2) the denominator of which shall be shall the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Common Stock Record Date fixed for such determination. Such reduction shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day after the Common Stock Record Date fixed for such determination. (e) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its shares of Common Stock evidences of its Indebtedness or other assets, including securities, but excluding (i) any Common Stock referred to in Section 15.3(a), (ii) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.3(c), (iii) dividends or distributions of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 15.4 applies, and (iv) cash distributions referred to in Section 15.3(d) (such capital stock, evidence of its indebtedness, cash, other assets or securities being distributed hereinafter in this Section 15.3(e) called the "distributed assets"), then, in each such case, subject to the third and fourth succeeding paragraphs and the last Section of this Section 15.3(e), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying such total number of shares the Conversion Price by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of whicha fraction: (31) the denominator numerator of which shall be the Current Market Value of the Common Stock, less the Fair Market Value on such date of the portion of the distributed assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (A) determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date record date) (determined as provided in Section 15.3(g)) on such date; and (2) the denominator of issuance of which shall be such rights, options or warrants, Current Market Value. Such reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Common Stock Record Date for such issuancedistribution. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, plus (B) the number Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of additional its shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"), (i) are so offered deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of shares of Common Stock shall be deemed not to have been distributed for subscription purposes of this Section 15.3(e) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.3(e) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right or purchase. Such adjustment warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become effective immediatelyexercisable to purchase different distributed assets, except as provided in subsection (h) belowevidences of indebtedness or other assets, after or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and record date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.3(e): (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of shares of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of shares of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase; and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued. For purposes of this Section 15.3(e) and Sections 15.3(a), 15.3(b), 15.3(c) and 15.3(d), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.3(e) is applicable that also includes (i) shares of Common Stock, (ii) a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock to which Section 15.3(b) applies, (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 15.3(c) applies or (iv) a cash distribution to which Section 15.3(d) applies (or any combination thereof), shall be deemed instead to be: (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants, other than such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination, such rights or warrants or such cash distribution to which Sections 15.3(a), 15.3(b), 15.3(c) and 15.3(d) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 15.3(e) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination, such rights or warrants or such cash distribution (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 15.3(a), 15.3(b), 15.3(c) and 15.3(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except: (A) the Common Stock Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (i) "the day on which such dividend or distribution is paid by the Company," "Common Stock Record Date fixed for such determinations" and "Common Stock Record Date" within the meaning of Section 15.3(a), (ii) "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" and "the day upon which such combination becomes effective" within the meaning of Section 15.3(b), (iii) "the date fixed for the determination of holders stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants," "the Common Stock Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and such "Common Stock Record Date" within the meaning of Section 15.3(c) and (iv) "Common Stock Record Date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 15.3(d); provided, however, that if and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such rights, options dividend or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price distribution shall not be adjusted deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the Common Stock Record Date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 15.3(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution. In the event of any distribution referred to in this Section 15.3(e) in which (1) the Fair Market Value of such distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined as provided above) equals or exceeds the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Common Stock Record Date for such distribution or (2) the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Common Stock Record Date for such distribution exceeds the Fair Market Value of such distribution by less than $1.00, then, in this subsection (b) until each such triggering events case, in lieu of an adjustment to the Conversion Price, adequate provision shall occur be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security, in addition to shares of Common Stock, the kind and amount of such distribution such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security immediately prior to the Common Stock Record Date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive the distribution. (cf) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to for all holders then-outstanding shares of Common Stock evidences shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of indebtednessthe tender offer) of shares tendered) of an aggregate consideration having a Fair Market Value that exceeds the product of the Current Market Value of the Common Stock as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), times the number of shares of Capital Common Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets outstanding (including securitiesany tendered shares) on the Expiration Time (such excess, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) abovethe "Excess Amount"), subsection (a) or (b) above)then, then and in each such case case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such distribution the Expiration Time by a fraction fraction: (1) the numerator of which the numerator shall be (x) the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) product of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on at the Expiration Time and (ii) the Current Market Value of the Common Stock at the Expiration Time, less (y) the Conversion Price Excess Amount; and (2) the denominator shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on at the Expiration Time minus (ii) and the fair market value Current Market Value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of Common Stock at the Expiration Time Time. Such reduction (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares"if any) and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights is obligated to distributions referred purchase shares pursuant to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights tender or warrants have not expired exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or been redeemed by the Companyall or a portion of such purchases are rescinded, the Company Conversion Price shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will again be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants adjusted to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to Conversion Price which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion would then be in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertede

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate as stated in paragraph 8 of the Securities (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2ii) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (3iv) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the that number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he it would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoto the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) Current Market Price Per Share of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which which (2x) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription (or purchase the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would purchase at the Current Market Price Per Share of Common Stock on such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)record date, and of which which (3y) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants; providedwarrants are issued, however, that if any and shall become effective immediately after such rights, options record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights or warrants issued by are exercisable not all rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (b) until such triggering events shall occur or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). (c) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (1) dividends or distributions paid in cash or (2) dividends or distributions referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 5.06), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 5.06 and also excluding the distribution of rights to all holders of Common Stock evidences pursuant to the adoption of indebtedness, shares a stockholders rights plan or the detachment of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) abovesuch rights under the terms of such stockholder rights plan), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) Current Market Price Per Share of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value on such record date (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of DirectorsDirectors of the Company, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valuevalue and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common StockStock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share the Current Market Price Per Share of the Common StockStock on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash time distribute (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies"Triggering Distribution") to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, combined together with the aggregate amount of (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any a Subsidiary of its Subsidiaries the Company for Common Stock concluded consummated within the preceding 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.06 has been made and (ii) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.06 has been made, exceeds 15an amount equal to 10.0% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price Current Market Price Per Share of the Common Stock on the Business Day (determined as provided in subsection (fthe "Determination Date") below) times immediately preceding the day on which such Triggering Distribution is declared by the Company multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) outstanding on the record date Determination Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of such distributionthe Company), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price Per Share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date less the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any such other consideration so distributed, paid or payable within such 12 months (including, without limitation, the Triggering Distribution) applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date) and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price Per Share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date on which the Triggering Distribution is paid. (1) In case any tender offer made by the Company for Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall involve the payment of aggregate consideration in an amount (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration) that, together with the aggregate amount of (i) any cash and the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.06 has been made and (B) all cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.06 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of the Current Market Price Per Share of Common Stock as of the last date (the "Expiration Date") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the "Expiration Time") multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the Expiration Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of such distribution business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any tendered sharesshares held in the treasury of the Company) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the Expiration Time multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) Current Market Price Per Share of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time minus Date and the denominator shall be the sum of (iix) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid) payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (iless any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) such current market price per share on at the Expiration Time times (ii) such number and the Current Market Price Per Share of outstanding shares Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesDate, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration TimeDate. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased. If the application of this Section 5.06(e) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 5.06(e). (2) For purposes of this subsection (eSection 5.06(d) and 5.06(e), the fair market value term "tender offer" shall mean and include both tender offers and exchange offers (within the meaning of any consideration with respect U.S. Federal securities laws), all references to an Offer "purchases" of shares in tender offers (and all similar references) shall be reasonably determined mean and include both the purchase of shares in good faith by tender offers and the Board acquisition of Directors of the Company shares pursuant to exchange offers, and described all references to "tendered shares" (and all similar references) shall mean and include shares tendered in a Board Resolutionboth tender offers and exchange offers. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) aboveof this Section 5.06, the current market price per share of Common Stock (the "Current Market Price Per Share") on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale daily Closing Prices for the 30 consecutive Trading Days commencing 45 Trading Days before (i) the Determination Date or the Expiration Date, as the case may be, with respect to distributions or tender offers under subsection (e) of this Section 5.06 or (ii) the record date with respect to distributions, issuances or other events requiring such computation under subsection (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 5.06. The Closing Price for each day (the "Closing Price") shall be the last reported sales price or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such date, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices in either case on The New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") or The Nasdaq National Market (the "NNM"), as applicable, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on the NYSE or the NNM, the principal national securities exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is quoted or listed or admitted to trading or, if not quoted or listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quotation system, the closing sales price or, in case no reported sale takes place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, as furnished by any two members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. If no such prices are available, the Current Market Price Per Share shall be the fair value of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier Board of Directors of the date in question Company, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and the date before the "ex date," with respect which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or OfferTrustee). (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 5.06 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record datedate or a Determination Date or Expiration Date, as the case may be, established for purposes of this Section 5.06, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event only until a date later than five Business Days following the effective time filing by the Company with the Trustee of the event giving rise certificate described in Section 5.09) issuing to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to Holder of any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to Determination Date or Expiration Date the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of over and above the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company issuable thereupon upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii)adjustment; and, not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company (shall issue or cause its transfer agent to issue due bills or other assets appropriate evidence prepared by the Company of the right to receive such shares. If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required to be made as of the record date or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in Determination Date or Expiration Date therefor is not thereafter made or paid by the Company for any reason, the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required readjusted to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall would then be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) effect if such conversion occurs on record date had not been fixed or prior to the such effective date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights Determination Date or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedExpiration Date had not occurred.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares or (3) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the then current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' shareholder rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall will not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur occur. (c) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of its Subsidiaries the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market valueDirectors ) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 1505 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 1504 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion PricePrice of the Notes; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 1504 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second last sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and on and before such adjustment shall have become effective, effective (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 1503 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment adjustment, and (ii), ) not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 1503 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen Fifteen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 1504 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedconverted was convertible immediately prior to such Distribution Date would have been entitled on such Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Capital Stock into a greater number of shares, shares or (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Capital Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Capital Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (he) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassificationcombination. If as a result of after an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), a holder upon conversion of the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to Capital Stock may receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) Company shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such the classes of Capital Stock. After such allocation, the conversion privilege and Conversion Price of each class of Capital Stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those set forth in this paragraph. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of Common Capital Stock entitling them (for a period not exceeding 45 days from the date of such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Capital Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (fd) below) of the Common Capital Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that in accordance with the same shall equal following formula: N x P ----- AP = CP x O + M ---------------- O + N where: AP = the price determined by multiplying: (1) adjusted Conversion Price. CP = the current Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) Price. O = the number of shares of Common Capital Stock outstanding on the record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) for the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) distribution. N = the number of additional shares of Common Capital Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchaseoffered. P = the offering price per share of the additional shares. M = the current market price per share of Capital Stock on the record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (he) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, shares of equity securities other than Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular cash dividends or other distributions to the extent paid exclusively in cash from current or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) aboveretained earnings of the Company), or shall distribute to all holders of Capital Stock rights or warrants to subscribe to securities (other than those referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and following formula: AP = CP x M - F ------------- M where: AP = the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by adjusted Conversion Price. CP = the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common StockPrice. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, M = the current market price per share of Common Capital Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversionmentioned below. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted

The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Convertible Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 Section 3.01 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Convertible Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, and shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyCommon Stock, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Convertible Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Convertible Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (he) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock capital stock (including shares of Common StockStock and other capital stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes class of Capital Stockcapital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period not exceeding 45 days from the date of such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (fd) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: : (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants by a fraction, of which which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options rights or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (he) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock, evidences of indebtedness, equity securities (including equity interests in the Company's Subsidiaries) other than Common Stock, or other assets (other than cash dividends paid out of surplus of the Company or current net earnings as shown on the books of the Company unless such cash dividends are Extraordinary Cash Dividends), or shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for securities (other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively those referred to in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (fd) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (he) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the rights ("Rights") distributed under the Rights Agreement, dated as of June 4, 1989, between the Company and BankBoston, N.A. and/or in the event that and each time that the Company shall distribute any other rights or warrants (other than those referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section) ("Additional Rights") pro rata to holders of Common Stock, the Company shall make proper provision so that each Holder of a Convertible Security who converts such Convertible Security (or any portion thereof) (A) after the date hereof in the case of Rights and (B) after the record date for any such distribution in the case of Additional Rights, and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Rights or Additional Rights, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of Rights or Additional Rights, to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of Rights or Additional Rights of separate certificates evidencing such Rights or Additional Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights or Additional Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights or Additional Rights; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of Rights or Additional Rights to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Security so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the term and provisions of and applicable to the Rights or Additional Rights. In the event that, with respect to any distribution to which this paragraph (c) would otherwise apply, the fair market value of the assets, evidences portion of indebtedness or other securities the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or common stock exceeds such the current market price per share of Common Stock, Stock or such the current market price per share of Common Stock exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share1.00, then the Conversion Price adjustment provided by this paragraph (c) shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection made and in lieu thereof the provision of paragraph (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (kh) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case If the Company shall, by dividend or any Subsidiary otherwise, distribute generally to holders of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment that is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 4.05 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount thatsuch that such dividend or distribution shall constitute an Extraordinary Cash Dividend, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made then, and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share fixed for determination of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding distribution by a fraction, of which (1) the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there numerator shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock equal to (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (iiA) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection paragraph (fe) belowof this Section) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time date fixed for such determination less (B) an amount equal to the excess of such Extraordinary Cash Dividend over four times the number per share amount of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction Company's most recently declared regular quarterly dividend and of which the numerator shall be (i2) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) equal to such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolutionshare. (fe) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (ed) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five 20 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 30 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of before the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computationquestion. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (hf) In any case in which this Section 1704 4.04 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Convertible Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 4.03 or issuing to the Holder of such Convertible Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 4.03 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that following the Holder record date fixed for the determination of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such date and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior theretodistribution. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after such record date. (b) In case the record date Company shall (1) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (2) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the case effectiveness of such action shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a dividend fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or distribution combination and the denominator shall become effective be the number of shares outstanding immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination giving effect to such subdivision or reclassificationcombination. If as a result of an An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion b) shall become entitled to receive shares effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (i) and (j) below, after the effective date of two a subdivision or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (bc) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowfixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights, option or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following such record date shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1i) the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2ii) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3iii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (bc) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plansevents, then the Conversion Price shall will not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (bc) until such triggering events occur. Upon the expiration or termination of any rights, options or warrants without the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price then in effect shall occur be adjusted immediately to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such rights, options or warrants, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued. (cd) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of its Subsidiaries the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock Stock, any of its assets, evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets securities (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or cash, (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (bc) above)above and in mergers and consolidations to which Section 13.6 applies, or (z) any distribution of rights or warrants subject to subsection (al) or (bbelow) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the record date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such distribution shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on the such record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence Directors of such fair market valuethe Company) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (de) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (cd) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 13.6 applies) to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender or exchange offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price immediately following such record date shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash and/or fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of other consideration so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (ef) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall complete a tender or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offertender or exchange offer, as of the expiration of such other Offertender or exchange offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (ef) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (de) of this Section 1704 13.5 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price conversion price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (de) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following such Expiration Time shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (ef), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (fg) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d), (e) and (ef) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex 'ex' date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. If on any such Trading Day the Common Stock is not listed by any organization referred to in the definition of Last Sale Price in Section 13.3 hereof, the fair value of the Common Stock on such day, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be used. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex 'ex' date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which or the Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market if the Common Stock is listed or admitted to tradingtrading thereon) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (gh) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (ef) above, the Company, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law, may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for at least 20 Business Days, if the Board of Directors has made a determination, which determination shall be conclusive, that such reduction would be in the best interests of the Company. The Company will shall cause notice of such reduction to be permitted mailed to each Holder of Securities, in the manner specified in Section 13.7, at least 15 days prior to the date on which such reduction commences. The Company may, at its option, also make such reductions in the Conversion Price in addition to those set forth above, as it considers the Board of Directors deems advisable to be advisable in order that avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for Federal United States federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such lawspurposes. (hi) In any case in which this Section 1704 13.5 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and on and before such adjustment shall have become effective, effective (i) defer paying any cash Cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 13.3 hereof or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment adjustment, and (ii), ) not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash Cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 13.3 hereof and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (ij) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 11.0% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen XIII shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-one- hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (jk) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent conversion agent an Officer's Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give mail or cause to be given mailed a notice of such adjustment to each Holder holder of Securities in at his address as the manner provided in Section 106same appears on the registry books of the Company. (kl) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (bc) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security Note surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security Note so convertedconverted was convertible immediately prior to such Distribution Date would have been entitled on such Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants.

An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution the effective date in the case of subdivision or combination. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13.05(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend, except as provided in Section 13.05(h), and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case If the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock Shares at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Shares (as determined pursuant to subsection (fdefined for purposes of this Section 13.05(b) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market priceSection 13.05(e)), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase.

(c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of Common Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so offered would purchase at such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares receivable upon exercise of such rights or warrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately, except as provided in Section 13.05(h), after such record date. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders of the Securities of such Series to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at less than such current market price and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants plus the exercise price thereof, the value of such consideration or exercise price, as the case may be, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. (c) If the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Shares) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid from retained earnings of the Company) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights or warrants referred to in Section 13.05(b)) (any of the foregoing being herein in this Section 13.05(c) called the “SPECIAL SECURITIES”), the conversion price shall be adjusted as provided in the next sentence unless the Company elects to reserve such Special Securities for distribution to the Holders of Securities of such Series upon the conversion so that any such Holder converting such Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of Special Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities, converted Securities into Common Shares. The conversion price, as adjusted, shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided defined for purposes of this Section 13.05(c) in subsection (f) belowSection 13.05(e)) of the Common Stock Shares on the record date mentioned below above less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market valueconclusive) of the portion of the assets Special Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common StockShare, and the denominator of which the denominator shall be such the current market price per share Common Shares (as defined in Section 13.05(e)). In the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Special Securities so distributed applicable to one Common StockShare is equal to or greater than the current market price per Common Share (as defined in Section 13.05(e)) on the record date mentioned above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Securities of such Series shall have the right to receive the amount and kind of Special Securities such holder would have received had he converted such Securities immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) belowSection 13.05(h), after the record date for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case If, pursuant to Section 13.05(b) or 13.05(c), the conversion price shall have been adjusted because the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) abovehas declared a dividend, or cash distributed upon made a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of distribution, on the outstanding Common Stock Shares in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect form of any tender offer by the Company right or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% warrant to purchase securities of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being , or the product Company has issued any such right or warrant, then, upon the expiration of any such unexercised right or unexercised warrant, the then current market conversion price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall forthwith be adjusted so that the same shall to equal the conversion price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of that would have applied had such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so right or warrant never been declared, distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionissued. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (bSection 13.05(b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock Share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock reported last sales prices for the five 30 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company (as defined below) commencing not more than 20 45 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of before the date in question and question. For the purpose of any computation under Section 13.05(c), the current market price per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the reported last sales prices for the ten consecutive Trading Days before the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computationin question. For The reported last sales price for each day (whether for purposes of this paragraphSection 13.05(b) or 13.05(c)) shall be the reported last sales price, regular way, or, in case no sale takes place on such day, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuanceaverage of the reported closing bid and asked prices, distribution or payments with respect to an Offerregular way, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way in either case as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or Composite Tape or, if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading thereonon the New York Stock Exchange, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is Shares are listed or admitted to tradingtrading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the Nasdaq National Market or, if the Common Shares are not quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day in the over-the- counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common Shares selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors or, if no such quotations are available, the fair market value of the Common Shares as determined by a New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market m the Common Shares selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors As used herein the term “Trading Day’ with respect to the Common Shares means (x) without if the right Common Shares are listed or admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange or another national securities exchange, a day on which the New York Stock Exchange or such other national securities exchange is open for business, (y) if the Common Shares are quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, a day on which trades may be made on the Nasdaq National Market or (z) otherwise, any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to receive such issuance, distribution or Offerclose. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (if) No adjustment in the Conversion Price conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, in such price. Any adjustments that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (iSection 13.05(f) are not required to be made made, however, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Any adjustment required to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Article 13 shall be made not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax free nature of a distribution to the holders of Common Shares. All calculations under this Article Seventeen 13 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-one hundredth of a share, as the case may be, with one-half cent and one-two hundredth of a share, respectively, being rounded upward. The Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those required by this Section 13.05, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities or distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) made by the Company to its shareholders shall not be taxable. (jg) Whenever the Conversion Price conversion price is adjusted as herein providedadjusted, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee Trustee, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and each Conversion Agent with the office or agency maintained by the Company for the conversion of Securities of such Series pursuant to Section 3.02, an Officer's Certificate Officers’ Certificate, setting forth the Conversion Price conversion price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or any facts or computations set forth therein, and (ii) give or except to exhibit said certificate from time to time to any Holder of a Security of such Series desiring to inspect the same. The Company shall promptly cause a notice setting forth the adjusted conversion price to be given a notice mailed to the Holders of Securities of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in Series, as their names and addresses appear upon the manner provided in Section 106Security register. (kh) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of any case in which this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company13.05 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company shall make proper provision so that may defer until the occurrence of such event (y) issuing to the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon of such conversion, in addition to Series converted after such record date and before the shares occurrence of such event the additional Common Stock Shares issuable upon such conversion (by reason of the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion occurs on or prior before giving effect to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, adjustment and (iiz) if paying to such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number holder any amount in cash in lieu of rights or warrants any fractional Common Shares pursuant to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedSection 13.06.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment adjustments, calculated by the Company, from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or hereafter pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that at the Holder opening of any Security thereafter surrendered business on the date following the date fixed for conversion shall be the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) fixed for such determination, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior theretodistribution. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and Such reduction shall become effective immediately after the effective date in opening of business on the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassificationday following the Record Date. If as a result any dividend or distribution of an adjustment made pursuant to the type described in this subsection (a)Section 12.4(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockdistribution had not been declared. (b) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. (c) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants (other than any rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.4(d)) to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price per share Current Market Price (as determined pursuant to subsection (fdefined in Section 12.4(g)) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowRecord Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the opening of business on the date of issuance of after such rights, options or warrants Record Date by a fraction, of which: (2i) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, Record Date plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such current market Current Market Price, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.4(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or other assets, including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.4(c), (2) any stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) distributed as dividends or distributions in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, combination, sale, conveyance, consolidation or statutory share exchange to which Section 12.11 hereof applies and (3) any dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash (the securities described in foregoing are hereinafter in this Section 12.4(d) called the “securities”), then, in each such case, subject to the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 12.4(d), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) with respect to such total distribution by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 12.4(g)) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price. Such reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.4(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the “Reference Period”) used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 12.4(g) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Holder. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.4(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and record date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4(d): (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrant (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such rightsredemption or repurchase, options and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and dividing warrants had never been issued. For purposes of this Section 12.4(d) and Sections 12.4(a), 12.4(b) and 12.4(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.4(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, a subdivision or combination of Common Stock to which Section 12.4(c) applies, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 12.4(c) applies (or any combination thereof), shall be deemed instead to be: (1) a dividend or distribution of the product so obtained evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants to which Sections 12.4(a), 12.4(b) and 12.4(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 12.4(d) with respect to such current market pricedividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 12.4(a), 12.4(b) and 12.4(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except: (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (x) “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution,” “Record Date fixed for such determinations” and “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 12.4(a), (y) “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” and “the day upon which such combination becomes effective” within the meaning of Section 12.4(b), and (z) as “the date fixed for the determination of whichstockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants,” “the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and such “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 12.4(c), and (3B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 12.4(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution. (e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a reclassification, change, merger, combination, sale, conveyance, consolidation or statutory share exchange to which Section 12.11 hereof applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 12.4(d) hereof), then and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on the Record Date of such distribution, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction: (i) the denominator numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (Ax) such amount of cash and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rightsRecord Date, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus and (Bii) the number denominator of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after be equal to the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive Current Market Price on such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur date. (cf) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute subsidiaries to all holders of Common Stock evidences for all or any portion of indebtednessthe Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender or exchange offer) that, combined together with the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender or exchange offers, made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to all holders of Common Stock for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender or exchange offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.4(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 12.4(g)) as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Capital Common Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets outstanding (including securitiesany tendered or exchanged shares) on the Expiration Time, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above)then, subsection (a) or (b) above), then and in each such case case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of such distribution the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.fraction: (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect numerator of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the Expiration Time multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time minus Time, and (ii) the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted

The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a Price of each ------------------------------ series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (ai) In case If the Company Corporation shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of issue any Common Stock other than "Excluded Stock", as defined below, without consideration or for consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price for such series in effect on any class the date of Capital Stock of the Companyand immediately prior to such issuance, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companythen and in such event, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to for such action series shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following reduced, concurrently with such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediatelyissuance, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered sharesshares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subdivision (3) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect of this clause (i) and to clause (ii) below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the Expiration Time number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by a fraction the Corporation for the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered sharesshares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subdivision (3) on the Expiration Time minus of this clause (i) and to clause (ii) below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the additional shares of Common Stock issued in such issuance (but not including any additional shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued as a result of any adjustment in the Conversion Price resulting from such issuance). For purposes of any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this clause (i), the following provisions shall be applicable: (1) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor after deducting any discounts or commissions paid or incurred by the Corporation in connection with the issuance and sale thereof. (2) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn thereof as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described Corporation, in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," accordance with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Pricegenerally accepted accounting treatment; provided, however, that any provisions if, at the time -------- ------- of this Indenture which conflict with such laws determination, the Corporation's Common Stock is traded in the over-the- counter market or on a national or regional securities exchange, such fair market value as determined by the board of directors of the Corporation shall not exceed the aggregate "Current Market Price" (as defined below) of the shares of Common Stock being issued. (3) In the case of the issuance of (i) options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock (other than Excluded Stock), (ii) securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than Excluded Stock), or (iii) options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities: (A) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to be superseded have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subdivisions (1) and (2) above), if any, received by the provisions Corporation upon the issuance of such laws.options or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby; (hB) In the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration received by the Corporation for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment the manner provided in subdivisions (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection 1) and (a) or (c2) above); (C) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but on any change in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and deliverable upon exercise of any such options or rights or conversion of or exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, or on any change in the minimum purchase price of such options, rights or securities, other Capital Stock than a change resulting from the antidilution provisions of such options, rights or securities, the Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon (x) the issuance of such options, rights or securities not exercised, converted or exchanged prior to such change, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of such change or (y) the options or rights related to such securities not converted or exchanged prior to such change, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of such change; and (D) on the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such options, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities or options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay options or rights related to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (convertible or other assets or exchangeable securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106.

An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (aSection 12.05(a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution distribution, except as provided in Section 12.05(h), and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (fdefined for purposes of this Section 12.05(b) below) of the Common Stock on in Section 12.05(e)), at the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, warrants plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, warrants plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription receivable upon exercise of such rights or purchasewarrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) belowSection 12.05(h), after such record date. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the record date Holders of the Securities of that series to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such current market price, and in determining the determination aggregate offering price of holders entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants; providedwarrants plus the exercise price thereof, howeverthe value of such consideration or exercise price, that as the case may be, if any such rightsother than cash, options or warrants issued to be determined by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence Board of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur Directors. (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock, cash ) or other evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular excluding cash dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (afrom retained earnings of the Company) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (bexcluding those rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.05(b) above) (any of the foregoing, for purposes of this paragraph (c), subsection (a) or (b) abovethe “Special Securities”), then then, in each such case case, unless the Conversion Price Company elects to reserve such Special Securities for distribution to the Holders of Securities of that series upon the conversion so that any such Holder converting such Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of Special Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities, converted Securities into Common Stock, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided defined, for purposes of this Section 12.05(c), in subsection (f) belowSection 12.05(e)) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below above less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of DirectorsDirectors of the Company, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market valueconclusive) of the portion of the assets Special Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which the denominator shall be such the current market price per share (as defined in Section 12.05(e)) of Common Stock; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Special Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common StockStock is equal to or greater than the current market price per share (as defined in Section 12.05(e)) of Common Stock on the record date mentioned above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Securities of that series shall have the right to receive the amount and kind of Special Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Securities immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hSection 12.05(h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company If, pursuant to Sections 12.05(b) or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above12.05(c), or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) shall have been adjusted because the Company has declared a dividend, or made a distribution, on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share outstanding shares of Common Stock equals in the form of any right or exceeds such current market price per share warrant to purchase securities of Common Stockthe Company, or the Company has issued any such current market price exceeds right or warrant, then, upon the expiration of any such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per shareunexercised right or unexercised warrant, the Conversion Price conversion price shall not forthwith be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d)equal the conversion price that would have applied had such right or warrant never been declared, and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributiondistributed or issued. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (bSection 12.05(b), (c), (d) and (ethe current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the reported last sales prices for the 30 consecutive Trading Days commencing 45 Trading Days before the date in question. For the purpose of any computation under Section 12.05(c) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock reported last sales prices for the five ten consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of before the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computationquestion. For The reported last sales price for each day (whether for purposes of this paragraphSection 12.05(b) or 12.05(c)) shall be the reported last sales price, regular way, or, in case no sale takes place on such day, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuanceaverage of the reported closing bid and asked prices, distribution or payments with respect to an Offerregular way, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way in either case as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or Composite Tape or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading thereonon the New York Stock Exchange, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the right to receive National Market System of NASDAQ or, if the Common Stock is not quoted on such issuanceNational Market System, distribution the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day in the over-the-counter market as reported by NASDAQ or, if bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on each such day shall not have been reported through NASDAQ, the average of the bid and asked prices for such day as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common Stock selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors of the Company or Offera committee thereof or, if no such quotations are available, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by a New York Stock Exchange Member firm regularly making a market in the Common Stock selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof or, if no such quotations are available, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by a New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common Stock selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (if) No adjustment in the Conversion Price conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Pricein such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (iSection 12.05(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; and, provided, further, that adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Article 12 (other than this Section 12.05(f)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax free nature of a distribution to the holders of Common Stock. All calculations under this Article Seventeen 12 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth 1/100 of a share, as the case may be, with one-half cent and 1/200 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward. Anything in this Section 12.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those required by this Section 12.05, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable. (jg) Whenever the Conversion Price conversion price is adjusted adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee Trustee, at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, and each Conversion Agent with the office or agency maintained by the Company for the conversion of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 4.02, an Officer's Certificate Officers’ Certificate, setting forth the Conversion Price conversion price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or any facts or computations set forth therein, and (ii) give or except to exhibit said certificate from time to time to any Holder of a Security of that series desiring to inspect the same. The Company shall promptly cause a notice setting forth the adjusted conversion price to be given a notice of such adjustment mailed to each Holder the Holders of Securities in of that series, as their names and addresses appear upon the manner provided in Section 106Security Register of the Company. (kh) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of any case in which this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company12.05 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company shall make proper provision so that may defer until the occurrence of such event (1) issuing to the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon of that series converted after such conversion, in addition to record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (by reason of the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion occurs on or prior before giving effect to the date for the distribution such adjustment and (2) paying to the holders such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares any fractional share of Common Stock equal pursuant to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedSection 12.06.

An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, warrants or options to all or warrants to substantially all holders of its Common Stock Stock, rights, warrants or options entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to in accordance with subsection (fe) below) of the Common Stock on ), at the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuancerecord date, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering subscription or purchase price of for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered by the rights, warrants or options so issued (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities offered for subscription by such rights, warrants or purchase options) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered by such rights, warrants or options (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription by such rights, warrants or purchaseoptions are convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights, warrants or options are exercisable not all rights, warrants issued by or options shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been upon application of the foregoing adjustment substituting the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (bor the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued) until such triggering events shall occur for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered (or the convertible securities offered). (c) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash, other securities or other assets, or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding (i) those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) above; (ii) those dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations referred to in subsection (a) above; and (iii) dividends and distributions paid in cash in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (A) all other such cash distributions made within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made under this Section 4.6 and (B) the fair market value of consideration payable in respect of any repurchases (including by way of tender offers) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders or Affiliates, or any employee benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (a "Company Benefit Plan"), of Common Stock evidences concluded within the preceding 12 months, in each case in respect of indebtednesswhich no adjustment has been made under this Section 4.6, shares does not exceed 15% of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution Market Capitalization as of the record date for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) abovesuch distribution), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution or purchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided defined in subsection (fe) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of DirectorsDirectors of the Company, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the capital stock or evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets so distributed or of such rights, warrants or options, in each case as applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of the Common StockStock on such record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) abovedistribute rights, warrants or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants options (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata ("Rights") PRO RATA to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6, make proper provision so that the each Holder of a Security who converts such Security (or any Security surrendered portion thereof) after the record date for conversion will such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants Rights to be determined as follows: (ix) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants Rights of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, Rights; and (iiy) if such conversion occurs after such the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants Rights to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such the Security so convertedconverted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of, and applicable to, the Rights. If the Company implements a new stockholder rights plan, the Company agrees that such rights plan will provide that upon conversion of the Securities, the Holders holding Common Stock issued upon conversion shall receive the rights issued under such plan, whether or not such rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of such conversion. If the rights under such new plan have become separated from the Common Stock prior to the conversion of a Security, the Holders holding Common Stock issued upon conversion shall receive the Rights that they would have received if the Security had been converted immediately prior to the separation of the Rights. (d) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Benefit Plan shall repurchase (including by way of tender offer) shares of Common Stock, and the fair market value of the sum of (i) the aggregate consideration paid for such Common Stock, (ii) the aggregate fair market value of cash dividends and distributions of the type described in clause (iii) of the preceding paragraph (c) paid within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of purchase of such shares of Common Stock in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 previously has been made, and (iii) the aggregate fair market value of any amounts previously paid for the repurchase of Common Stock of a type described in this paragraph (d) within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of purchase of such shares of Common Stock in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 previously has been made, exceeds 15% of Market Capitalization on the date of, and after giving effect to, such repurchase, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution or purchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of the Common Stock on the date of such repurchase, less the quotient obtained by dividing the Aggregate Market Premium involved in such repurchase (as defined hereinafter) by the difference between the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such repurchase and the number of shares of Common Stock the subject of such repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of the Common Stock on the date of such repurchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the date of such repurchase. For purposes of this subsection (d), the "Aggregate Market Premium" is the excess, if any, of the aggregate repurchase price paid for all such Common Stock over the aggregate current market value per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of all such repurchased stock, determined with respect to each share involved in each such repurchase as of the date of repurchase with respect to such share. (e) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c) and (d) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices for 20 consecutive Trading Days commencing 30 Trading Days before the record date with respect to any distribution, issuance or other event requiring such computation. The Closing Price for each day shall be (i) the last sale price, or the closing bid price if no sale occurred, of such class of stock on the principal securities exchange on which such class of stock is listed, if the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange, (ii) the last reported sale price of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market, or any similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices then in common use, if so quoted, or (iii) if not quoted as described in clause (i), the mean between the high bid and low asked quotations for Common Stock as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated if at least two securities dealers have inserted both bid and asked quotations for such class of stock on at least 5 of the 10 preceding days. If the Common Stock is quoted on a national securities or central market system, in lieu of a market or quotation system described above, the Closing Price shall be determined in the manner set forth in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence if bid and asked quotations are reported but actual transactions are not, and in the manner set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence if actual transactions are reported. If none of the conditions set forth above is met, the Closing Price of Common Stock on any day or the average of such last reported sale prices for any period shall be the fair market value of such class of stock as determined by a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. selected by the Company. As used herein the term "Trading Days" with respect to Common Stock means (i) if the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange, days on which such national securities exchange is open for business or (ii) if the Common Stock is quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market or any similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices, days on which trades may be made on such system. (f) Rights, warrants or options distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, warrants or options, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (1) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (2) are not exercisable, and (3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall not be deemed distributed for purposes of this Section 4.6 until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights, warrants or options, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that shall have resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.6, (1) in the case of any such rights, warrants or options which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights, warrants or options (assuming such holder had retained such rights, warrants or options), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of any such rights, warrants or options all of which shall have expired without exercise by any holder thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such issuance had not occurred. (g) In case the Company makes a cash or non-cash distribution to substantially all holders of Common Stock prior to the earlier of March 21, 2003 or the date the Company ceases to maintain its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust for federal income tax purposes with respect to which no adjustment is otherwise provided for pursuant to any of the other subsections of this Section 4.6, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) above) of the Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, less the amount of the cash distribution applicable to a single share of Common Stock or fair market value on such record date of the non-cash distribution applicable to a single share of Common Stock (which fair market value shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive of such fair market value) and of which the denominator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) above) of the Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the such record date for such distribution. (h) In any case in which this Section 4.6 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date established for purposes of Section 4.6, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 4.10) issuing to the holder of any Security converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such c

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate as stated in paragraph 8 of the Securities (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Company as ---------------- follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2ii) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (3iv) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the that number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he it would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoto the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to in accordance with subsection (f) belowe) of the Common Stock this Section 4.6) on the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription (or purchase the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would purchase at such the current market price per share (determined by multiplying as defined in subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) of Common Stock on such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)record date, and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants; providedwarrants are issued, however, that if any and shall become effective immediately after such rights, options record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights or warrants issued by are exercisable not all rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (b) until such triggering events shall occur or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). (c) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (1) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash, (2) dividends or distributions referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 4.6 or (3) distributions in connection with a reclassification, consolidation or sale referred to in Section 4.11), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 4.6 and also excluding the distribution of rights to all holders of Common Stock evidences pursuant to the adoption of indebtedness, shares a shareholder rights plan or the detachment of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) abovesuch rights under the terms of such shareholder rights plan), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided defined in subsection (fe) belowof this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. (1) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a "Triggering Distribution") to all or substantially all ----------------------- holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to (i) 10.0% of the product of the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) on the Business Day (the "Determination ------------- Date") immediately preceding the day on which such Triggering Distribution is ---- declared by the Company multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock ------------------ outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying (x) such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by (y) a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) on the Determination Date less the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair market valuevalue (determined as aforesaid) of any such other consideration so distributed, paid or payable within such 12 months (including, without limitation, the portion of the assets so distributed Triggering Distribution) applicable to one share of Common Stock, Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date) and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) on the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, immediately prior to the extent applicable, opening of business on the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionday following the date on which the Triggering Distribution is paid. (d2) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall involve the payment of aggregate consideration in an amount (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the preceding 12 months preceding the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds 15an amount equal to 10.0% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of (i) the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined as provided in accordance with subsection (fe) belowof this Section 4.6) times as of the last date (the "Expiration Date") tenders could have --------------- been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the "Expiration Time") multiplied by (ii) the number of shares --------------- ---------- -- of Common Stock then outstandingoutstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the record date of such distributionday after the Expiration Date, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying (x) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of such distribution business on the Expiration Date by (y) a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any tendered sharesshares held in the treasury of the Company) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the Expiration Time multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market ---------- -- price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered sharesthis Section 4.6) on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time minus Date and the denominator shall be the sum of (iix) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid) payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock ---------------- outstanding (iless any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) such at the Expiration Time and the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesDate, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration TimeDate. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased. If the application of this Section 4.6(d)(2) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 4.6(d)(2). (3) For purposes of this subsection (eSection 4.6(d), the fair market term "tender offer" shall mean and include both tender offers and exchange offers, all references to "purchases" of shares in tender offers (and all similar references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares in tender offers and the acquisition of shares pursuant to exchange offers, and all references to "tendered shares" (and all similar references) shall mean and include shares tendered in both tender offers and exchange offers. (e) In the case the Company shall become subject to a Change in Control in which (i) the stockholders of the Company shall receive consideration per share of Common Stock that is greater than the Conversion Price, without giving effect to the adjustment described in this Section 4.6(e), at the effective time of the Change in Control and (ii) at least 10%, but less than 75%, of the total consideration paid to such stockholders consists of cash, cash equivalents, securities that are not publicly-traded or other assets (collectively, the "Non-Public Consideration"), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that, upon conversion of the Securities following the Change in Control, in addition to the common stock or other securities deliverable upon the conversion of such Securities as set forth in this Article 4 (including, without limitation, paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 4.6), the Holder shall receive securities having a value equal to the number of publicly-traded securities of the acquiror determined through the following calculation: PV Cashflows x (Non-Public Consideration/Total Consideration)/Acquiror Stock Price where PV Cashflows = the present value of the aggregate interest payments that would have been payable on the Securities from the Conversion Date through April 17, 2003. The present value shall be calculated using the rate equal to the yield to maturity of U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity closest to, but not exceeding, April 17, 2003. Total Consideration = the total value of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company at the effective time of the Change in Control, with the value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably assets or securities other than cash or a publicly-traded security being determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors based upon an opinion as to that value obtained from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of international standing. Acquiror Stock Price = the price of the acquiror's publicly- traded common stock or other publicly- traded securities delivered in connection with the Change in Control transaction at the effective time of the Change in Control. provided that if the consideration received by the stockholders of the Company and described -------- in a Board Resolution.respect of the Change in Control consists of at least 75% Non-Public Consideration or if the acquiror's common stock is not publicly-traded, then upon conversion of the Securities following the Change in Control, in lieu of the foregoing conversion rate adjustment set forth in this Section 4.6(e), the Holder will be entitled to receive an additional amount payable by the Company in cash calculated as follows: PV Cashflows x (Non-Public Consideration/Total Consideration) (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), ) and (d) and (e) aboveof this Section 4.6, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock daily closing prices for the five 30 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 45 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 the Determination Date or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a shareExpiration Date, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment adjustments, calculated by the Company, from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or hereafter pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that at the Holder opening of any Security thereafter surrendered business on the date following the date fixed for conversion shall be the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 10.4(g)) fixed for such determination, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other capital stock distribution payable to the holders of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoCommon Stock. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and Such reduction shall become effective immediately after the effective date in opening of business on the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassificationday following the Record Date. If as a result any dividend or distribution of an adjustment made pursuant to the type described in this subsection (a)Section 10.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockdistribution had not been declared. (b) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. (c) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants (other than any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.04(d)) to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price per share Current Market Price (as determined pursuant to subsection (fdefined in Section 10.04(g)) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date Record Date fixed for the determination of holders stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such Current Market Price, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered to the holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 10.04(a) or Section 10.4(g) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.04(c), (2) any stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) distributed in connection with a reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 10.11 hereof applies and (3) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash (the securities described in foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) hereinafter in this Section 10.04(d) called the "excluded securities"), then, in each such case, subject to the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 10.04(d), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 10.04(g)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction fraction: (1) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share Current Market Price (determined as provided in subsection (fSection 10.04(g)) below) of the Common Stock on the record such date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence and set forth in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the securities so distributed (other than excluded securities) applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date), and (2) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price. Such reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. However, in the event that the then fair market valuevalue (as so determined) of the portion of the assets securities so distributed (other than excluded securities) applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of securities so distributed (other than excluded securities) such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 10.04(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution (other than excluded securities), it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the "Reference Period") used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 10.04(g) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Holder. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 10.04(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 10.04(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the denominator holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and record date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 10.04(d): (1) in the case of any such current market price rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrant (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued. For purposes of this Section 10.04(d) and Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b) and 10.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.04(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock. Such adjustment , a subdivision or combination of Common Stock to which Section 10.04(b) applies, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 10.04(c) applies (or any combination thereof), shall become effective immediatelybe deemed instead to be: (3) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, except assets, shares of Capital Stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants to which Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b) and 10.04(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 10.04(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by (4) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b) and 10.04(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except: (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as provided in subsection (hx) below, after "the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution", "Record Date fixed for such determinations" and "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 10.04(a), (y) "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" and "the day upon which such combination becomes effective" within the meaning of Section 10.04(b), and (z) as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", "the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and such "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 10.04(c), and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 10.04(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding With respect to any shareholder rights plan existing on the foregoing, date hereof or in the event that the fair market value Company implements any other shareholder rights plan, upon conversion of the assetsNotes the Holders will receive, evidences in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of indebtedness an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or other securities so distributed applicable prior to one share the time of conversion); provided, a Holder who is a holder of Common Stock equals (or exceeds direct or indirect interests therein) at the time of conversion, but who is not entitled as such current market price per share a holder to such rights pursuant to the terms of Common Stockany such plan, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted eligible to receive any such rights hereunder. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a shareholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this subsection (c) and, to paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the extent applicable, purposes of the other provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionthis section 10.04(d). (de) In case the Company shall, by dividend or any Subsidiary otherwise, distribute to all holders of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment that is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or consolidation conveyance to which Section 1705 applies10.11 hereof applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 10.04(d) to all holders of Common Stock hereof), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with with: (i1) all the aggregate amount of any other such all-distributions to all holders of Common Stock made exclusively in cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.04(e) has been made made, and (ii2) the aggregate of any cash and plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of other Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) of consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months preceding the date of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 10.04(f) hereof has been made, exceeds 155% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock Current Market Price (determined as provided in subsection (fSection 10.04(g)) below) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) outstanding on the record date of such distributiondate, then and in each such case case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of business on such distribution Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.fraction: (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value numerator of any other consideration payable in respect which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of any other Offer, as of (x) the expiration excess of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of combined amount over such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made 5% and (iiy) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration TimeRecord Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus and (ii) the fair market value denominator of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator which shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior equal to the opening of business Current Market Price on the day following the Expiration Timesuch date. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment)However, in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights then fair market value (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (das so determined) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants portion of the securities so distributed (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedex

An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection subsections (hi) and (j) below, after such record date. (b) In case the record date Company shall (1) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (2) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the case effectiveness of such action shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a dividend fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or distribution combination and the denominator shall become effective be the number of shares outstanding immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination giving effect to such subdivision or reclassificationcombination. If as a result of an An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion b) shall become entitled to receive shares effective immediately, except as provided in subsections (i) and (j) below, after the effective date of two a subdivision or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (bc) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowfixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights, option or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following such record date shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1i) the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2ii) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3iii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection subsections (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (bc) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plansevents, then the Conversion Price shall will not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (bc) until such triggering events shall occur occur. (cd) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of its Subsidiaries the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock Stock, any of its assets, evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets securities (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or cash, (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (bc) above), or (z) any distribution of rights or warrants subject to subsection (al) or (bbelow) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the record date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such distribution shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on the such record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence Directors of such fair market valuethe Company) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection subsections (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (de) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (cd) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 13.6 applies) to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender or exchange offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted's

An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after such record date. For the record date in the case purposes of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder number of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Capital Stock (including the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock) . The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue (1) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (2) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the effectiveness of such action shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision, combination or reclassification and the denominator shall be the number of shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (b) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (i) and (j) below, after the effective date of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. (c) In case there shall be an issuance of rights, options or warrants ("Stockholder Rights") to all or substantially all holders of outstanding Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowfixed for determination of the shareholders entitled to receive such rights, option or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following such record date shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1i) the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2ii) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3iii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (bc) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plansevents, then the Conversion Price shall will not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (bc) until the earliest of such triggering events event occurs. Upon the expiration or termination of any rights, options or warrants without the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price then in effect shall occur be adjusted immediately to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such rights, options or warrants, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued. (cd) In case the Company there shall be a distribution to all or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock Stock, of any assets, evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets securities (including securities, but other than (xw) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or cash, (yx) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (bc) above)above and in mergers and consolidations to which Section 13.6 applies, (y) any distribution of rights or warrants subject to subsection (a1) below or any distribution in connection with a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (bz) aboveRights (as defined below), ) then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the record date fixed for the determination of the shareholders entitled to such distribution shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock (determined as pro vided in subsection (g) below) on the such record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, Directors of the Company whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence and described in a resolution of such fair market valuethe Board of Directors) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, securities, cash or assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (g) below). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (i) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this subsection (d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising such distribution, it must in doing so consider, among any other facts or advice it deems relevant, the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the current market price per share pursuant to subsection (g) of this Section.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediatelyimmediately prior to the opening of business on the later of (x) the date following the date fixed for the payment of such distribution and (y) the date 20 days after the notice relating to such distribution is given., except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (df) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon complete a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), at the last time tenders may be made pursuant to such Tender Offer (as it may be amended or extended) as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of any other consideration payable paid (at the time of payment) in respect of any other Offertender offer, as of the expiration of such other Offertender offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (ef) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (de) of this Section 1704 13.5 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price conversion price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (de) has been made, exceeds 1515.0% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on at the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on at the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following such Expiration Time shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on at the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on at the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on at the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on at the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time; provided, that if the number of purchased shares or the aggregate consideration payable therefor have not been finally determined by such opening of business, the adjustment required by this subsection (f) shall, pending such final determination, be made based upon the preliminary results of such tender offer announced by the Company, and, after such final determination shall have been made, the adjustment required by this subsection (f) shall be made based upon the number of purchased shares and the aggregate consideration payable therefor as so finally determined, effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day immediately following the day such final determination shall have been made. For purposes of this subsection (ef), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (fg) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) aboveand (f) above of this Section, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive the issuance or distribution requiring such computation (the "Determination Date") shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Closing Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later thanthan the Determination Date, the earlier of the date in question and the date before provided, however, that (i) if the "ex date,ex" with respect to date for any event (other than the issuance, issuance or distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to ) that requires an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer.

(b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to in accordance with subsection (f) belowd) of the Common Stock this Section 4.6) on the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription (or purchase the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would purchase at the Current Market Price per share (as defined in subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) of Common Stock on such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)record date, and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants; providedwarrants are issued, however, that if any and shall become effective immediately after such rights, options record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights or warrants issued by are exercisable not all rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (b) until such triggering events shall occur or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), cash evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities, but securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (x1) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y2) any dividend dividends or distribution for which an adjustment is required distributions referred to be made in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 4.6), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) above), subsection (a) of this Section 4.6 and also excluding the distribution of rights to all holders of Common Stock pursuant to the adoption of a stockholders rights plan or (b) abovethe detachment of such rights under the terms of such stockholder rights plan), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price Current Market Price per share (determined as provided defined in subsection (fd) belowof this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share (as defined in subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. In the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of a Security shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants such holder would have received had such holder converted each Security on such record date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 4.6(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. In the event that the Company implements a preferred shares rights plan ("Rights Plan"), upon conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, to the extent that the Rights Plan has been implemented and is still in effect upon such conversion, the holders of Securities will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights described therein (whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion), subject to the limitations set forth in the Rights Plan. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a Rights Plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to this Section 4.6(c). Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.6 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.6 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 4.6(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.6 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. (1) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a "Triggering Distribution") to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valuethereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Business Day (the "Determination Date") immediately preceding the day on which such Triggering Distribution is declared by the Company multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Determination Date less the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair market value (determined as aforesaid in this Section 4.6(c)(1)) of any such other consideration so distributed, paid or payable within such 12 months (including, without limitation, the Triggering Distribution) applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date) and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date on which the Triggering Distribution is paid. (2) In case any tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall involve the payment of aggregate consideration in an amount (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the preceding 12 months preceding the date of the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds 15an amount equal to 10.0% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (as determined as provided in accordance with subsection (fd) belowof this Section 4.6) times as of the last date (the "Expiration Date") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the "Expiration Time") multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock then outstandingoutstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the record date of such distributionday after the Expiration Date, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of such distribution business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any tendered sharesshares held in the treasury of the Company) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the Expiration Time multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered sharesthis Section 4.6) on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time minus Date and the denominator shall be the sum of (iix) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid) payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares and other Capital Stock excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company issuable thereupon only on Company) at the basis of Expiration Time and the Conversion Current Market Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares per share of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment as determined in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this accordance with subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to 4.6) on the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by Trading Day next succeeding the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Expiration Date, the same number of rights or warrants such reduction to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedbecome effectiv

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate as stated in paragraph 8 of the Securities (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2ii) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (3iv) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the that number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he it would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoto the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to in accordance with subsection (f) belowe) of the Common Stock this Section 4.6) on the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription (or purchase the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would purchase at such the current market price per share (determined by multiplying as defined in subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) of Common Stock on such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)record date, and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants; providedwarrants are issued, however, that if any and shall become effective immediately after such rights, options record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights or warrants issued by are exercisable not all rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (b) until such triggering events shall occur or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). (c) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (1) dividends on distributions paid exclusively in cash, (2) dividends or distributions referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 4.6 or (3) distributions in connection with a reclassification, consolidation or sale referred to in Section 4.11), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 4.6 and also excluding the distribution of rights to all holders of Common Stock evidences pursuant to the adoption of indebtedness, shares a stockholders rights plan or the detachment of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) abovesuch rights under the terms of such stockholder rights plan), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided defined in subsection (fe) belowof this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. (1) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a "Triggering Distribution") to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valuethereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring consummated within the 12 months preceding the expiration date of such Offer payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect for of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) Section 4.6 has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedand

An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection paragraph (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution distribution, except as provided in paragraph (h) below, and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company Ventas, Inc. shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection defined for purposes of this paragraph (fb) in paragraph (e) below) of the Common Stock on ), at the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, warrants plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, warrants plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription receivable upon exercise of such rights or purchasewarrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection paragraph (h) below, after such record date. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the record date Holders of the Securities of that series to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such current market price, and in determining the determination aggregate offering price of holders entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by Ventas, Inc. for such rights or warrants; providedwarrants plus the exercise price thereof, howeverthe value of such consideration or exercise price, that as the case may be, if any such rightsother than cash, options or warrants issued to be determined by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence Board of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur Directors. (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries Ventas, Inc. shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock of Ventas, Inc. (other than Common Stock, cash ) or other evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular excluding cash dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (afrom retained earnings of Ventas, Inc.) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) above) (any of the foregoing being herein in this paragraph (c) called the "Special Securities"), subsection (a) or (b) above)then, then in each such case case, unless Ventas, Inc. elects to reserve such Special Securities for distribution to the Conversion Price Holders of Securities of that series upon the conversion so that any such Holder converting such Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of Special Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities, converted Securities into Common Stock, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided defined for purposes of this paragraph (c) in subsection paragraph (fe) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below above less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market valueconclusive) of the portion of the assets Special Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which the denominator shall be such the current market price per share (as defined in paragraph (e) below) of Common Stock; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Special Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common StockStock is equal to or greater than the current market price per share (as defined in paragraph (e) below) of Common Stock on the record date mentioned above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Securities of that series shall have the right to receive the amount and kind of Special Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Securities immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection paragraph (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share outstanding shares of Common Stock equals in the form of any right or exceeds such current market price per share warrant to purchase securities of Common StockVentas, Inc., or Ventas, Inc. has issued any such current market price exceeds right or warrant, then, upon the expiration of any such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per shareunexercised right or unexercised warrant, the Conversion Price conversion price shall not forthwith be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d)equal the conversion price that would have applied had such right or warrant never been declared, and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributiondistributed or issued. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution.

The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company ------------------------------ shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares or (3iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action event shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security New Subordinated Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he it would have owned immediately following or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such action event had such Security the New Subordinated Note been converted immediately prior theretoto the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (aSection 5.7(a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution except as provided in Section 5.7(f), and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassificationcombination. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a)any dividend or distribution is not paid or made, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made Conversion Price then in good faith, be conclusive and effect shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockappropriately readjusted. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) Current Market Price of the Common Stock on at the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur .

The adjustment provided for in this Section 5.7(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately, except as provided in Section 5.7(f) below after such record date.

All calculations under this Article V shall be such current market price per share made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

(b) In case the event that the Company shall issue or distribute Capital Stock or issue rights, warrants or options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them the holder thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Capital Stock at a price per share less than the current market price Current Market Price per share on the date of issuance or distribution (as determined pursuant to subsection provided that the issuance of Capital Stock upon the exercise of warrants or options will not cause an adjustment in the Conversion Price if no such adjustment would have been required at the time such warrant or option was issued), then at the earliest of (fi) belowthe date the Company shall enter into a firm contract for such issuance or distribution, (ii) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive any such rights, warrants or options, if applicable, or (iii) the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a pricedate of actual issuance or distribution of any such Capital Stock or rights, computed to the nearest centwarrants or options, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such earliest date shall be adjusted so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such earliest date of issuance of by: ## CT01/SCHIJ/68118.34 46 52 (x) if such rightsCapital Stock is Common Stock, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the fraction whose numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price Current Market Price (such amount, with respect to any such rights, warrants or options, determined by multiplying such the total number of shares subject thereto by the exercise price of such rights, warrants or options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market pricethe Current Market Price), and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription to be issued or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination distributed or receivable upon exercise of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rightswarrant, options right or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Priceoption; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedor

(b2) In case the Company shall issue rights, options to all or warrants to substantially all holders of Common Stock rights, warrants or options entitling them such holders (for a period commencing no earlier than the date of distribution and expiring not more than 60 days after the date of distribution) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the average Common Stock on Price for the record 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the date mentioned belowthe distribution of such rights, warrants or options was first publicly announced by the Company, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, decreased so that the same Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of issuance of for such rights, options or warrants issue by a fraction, of which, (2i) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuancepublic announcement, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering subscription or purchase price of for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered by the rights, warrants or options so issued (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities offered for subscription by such rights, warrants or purchase options) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rightsaverage Common Stock Price, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of whichand (3ii) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, public announcement plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered by such rights, warrants or options (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription by such rights, warrants or purchaseoptions are convertible), provided that no adjustment will be made if Holders of the Securities are entitled to participate in the distribution on substantially the same terms as holders of the Common Stock as if such Holders had converted their Securities solely into Common Stock immediately prior to such distribution at the then applicable Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights, warrants or options are exercisable not all rights, warrants issued by or options shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been upon application of the foregoing adjustment substituting the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (bor the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued) until such triggering events shall occur for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered (or convertible securities offered). (c3) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its Subsidiaries indebtedness, other securities or other assets, or shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtednessStock, shares of Capital Stock rights (other than Common Stockthe rights distributed pursuant to the Rights Plan to the extent that such rights have been distributed to the holders of the Securities as described below), cash warrants or other assets options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (including securitiesexcluding (i) those rights, but other than options and warrants referred to in Section 12.5(2); (xii) regular those dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations referred to in Section 12.5(1); and (iii) those dividends or and distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required referred to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) aboveSection 12.5(5), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction fraction, (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock Market Price on the record date mentioned below for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the Capital Stock or evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets so distributed or of such rights, warrants or options, in each case applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Market Price on such record date, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date for such distribution; provided that if the numerator of the foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative 84 amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the cash and Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the distribution such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to the record date for such distribution; provided that no adjustment will be made if Holders of the Securities are entitled to participate in the distribution on substantially the same terms as holders of the Common Stock as if such Holders had converted their Securities solely into Common Stock immediately prior to such distribution at the then applicable Conversion Price; Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the distribution by the Company to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock consists of Capital Stock of, or similar Equity Interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (unless such Capital Stock or similar Equity Interests are distributed to holders in such distribution as if such holders had converted their Securities into Common Stock), the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the record date with respect to such distribution by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the average Common Stock Price over the Spinoff Valuation Period; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the average Common Stock Price over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the "Spinoff Valuation Period") commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the date on which "ex-dividend trading" commences for such dividend or distribution on the Nasdaq National Market or the New York Stock Exchange or such other quotation system or national or regional exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted plus (y) the average fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors, which determination shall equal the average closing sale price where such closing sale price is available) over the Spinoff Valuation Period of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of which business on the denominator shall be day following such current market price per share record date; provided that the Company may in lieu of the Common Stock. Such foregoing adjustment make adequate provision so that each Holder shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of the distribution such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled with respect to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value If any dividend or distribution of the assetstype described in this Section 12.5(3) is declared but not so paid or made, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable such adjustment to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall be reversed. In any case in which this paragraph is applicable, Section 12.5(1), Section 12.5(2) and the first paragraph of this Section 12.5(3) shall not be adjusted pursuant applicable. To the extent that the Company has a share rights plan ("Rights Plan") in effect upon conversion of Securities, the Holders of the Securities will receive, in addition to this subsection (c) the Principal Amount and the Net Shares, the rights under the Rights Plan, unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of the conversion, and, to as a result, upon conversion of the extent applicableSecurities, the provisions Holder of subsection (k) shall apply the Securities would not be entitled to receive the rights, then in such distributioncase the Conversion Price will be adjusted as described in this Section 12.5(3). (d4) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively makes a payment in respect of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required a tender or exchange offer to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within where the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable included in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, payment per share exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) Price on the record date of such distributionlast Trading Day prior to the Offer Expiration Time, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution Offer Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.fraction, (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value numerator of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the last time (the "Offer Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) multiplied by the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, and (ii) the Conversion Price denominator of which shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction sum of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (iix) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders holders of Common Stock based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender or exchange offer) of all shares of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Offer Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Offer Expiration Time and the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, such reduction adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Offer Expiration Time. For purposes If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. (5) In case the Company shall declare a cash dividend or cash distribution to all or substantially all of this subsection the holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution by a fraction, (ei) the numerator of which shall be the average of the Common Stock Price for the three consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or distribution (the "Pre-Dividend Sale Price"), minus the fair market value full amount of any consideration with respect the dividend or distribution to an Offer the extent payable in cash applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be reasonably determined the Pre-Dividend Sale Price, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the numerator of the foregoing fraction is less than U.S.$1.00 (including a negative amount), then in good faith lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the cash and Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to the record date for such cash dividend or cash distribution. If such cash dividend or cash distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (6) In case of a tender or exchange offer made by a Person other than the Board of Directors Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for an amount that increases the offeror's ownership of Common Stock to more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Stock outstanding and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For shall involve the purpose payment by such Person of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price consideration per share of Common Stock on any date having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that as of the Offer Expiration Time exceeds the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, and in which, as of the Offer Expiration Time the Board of Directors is not recommending rejection of the offer, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Offer Expiration Time by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Offer Expiration Time multiplied by the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to holders of Common Stock based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Offer Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum being referred to as the "Accepted Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Accepted Purchased Shares) at the Offer Expiration Time and the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Offer Expiration Time. If such Person is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but such Person is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the average Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment described in this Section 12.5(6) shall not be made if, as of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later thanOffer Expiration Time, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," offering documents with respect to such offer disclose a plan or intention to cause the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect Company to engage in any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offertransaction described in Article VII. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h7) In any case in which this Section 1704 12.5 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record datedate established for purposes of this Section 12.5, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event only until a date later than three Business Days following the effective time filing by the Company with the Trustee of the event giving rise certificate described in Section 12.9) issuing to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to holder of any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effectivethe cash, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedsu

(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.5(d), no adjustment shall be made hereunder for any distribution of Securities if the Company makes proper provision so that each Noteholder who converts a Note (or any portion thereof) after the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount and kind of Securities that such holder would have been entitled to receive if such holder had, immediately prior to such determination date, converted such Note into Common Stock; provided that, with respect to any Securities that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, the foregoing provision shall only apply to the extent (and so long as) the Securities receivable upon conversion of such Note would be convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, as applicable, without any loss of rights or privileges for a period of at least 60 days following conversion of such Note. In case the Company shall implement a shareholder rights plan not covered by the preceding paragraph, the holders of Notes shall be entitled to receive, upon conversion of any such Note, in addition to Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, all such rights as would have been applicable to such shares of Common Stock had it been outstanding when such plan was implemented. For purposes of this Section 14.5(d) and Sections 14.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (or both), shall instead be treated as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights, options or warrants (and any Conversion Price in effect reduction required by this Section 14.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately prior to the date followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of issuance such shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 14.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 14.5(a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in -62- 71 such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 14.5(a).

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect numerator of which no adjustment has been made shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 20.0% and (iiy) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) outstanding on the record date Record Date and (ii) the denominator of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price which shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock Current Market Price on such record date less date; provided that in the amount event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which Stock is equal to or greater than the denominator shall be such current market price per share Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Such adjustment Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after be made so that each Noteholder shall have the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such distributionholder would have received had such holder converted each Note on the Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in In the event that the cash such dividend or distribution is not so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals paid or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per sharemade, the Conversion Price shall not again be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to be the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such distributiondividend or distribution had not been declared. (ef) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any shall expire and such tender or exchange offer being referred to (as an "Offer"amended upon (g) that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e)Section 14.5, the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment terms shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedmeaning indicated:

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class to holders of Capital Stock of the CompanyCommon Stock, (2ii) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares of Common Stock or (3iv) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security Securities been converted immediately prior thereto. An Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rightsrights , warrants or options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) ("Common Stock Rights") at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying:multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the offered shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such current market price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustments shall become effective immediately after such record date. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights, warrants or options, upon the expiration or termination of such rights, warrants or options the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, warrants or options been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, warrants or options are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options had not been fixed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute Common Stock Rights to all holders of Common Stock, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.06(b), make proper provision so that each holder of a Security who converts such Security (or any portion thereof) after the record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Common Stock Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of Common Stock Rights to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of Common Stock Rights of separate certificates evidencing such Common Stock Rights (the "Common Stock Rights Distribution Date"), the same number of shares of Common Stock Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Common Stock Rights; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Common Stock Rights Distribution Date, the same number of Common Stock Rights to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Security so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Common Stock Rights Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Common Stock Rights Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Common Stock Rights. (1c) In case the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock (or the Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be, shall issue securities convertible into Common Stock, other than to the Company in the case of an issuance by the Operating Partnership) at a price per share less than the current market price (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date for such issuance (other than pursuant to any employee or director incentive or benefit plan of the Company or the Operating Partnership heretofore or hereafter adopted), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the offered shares of Common Stock (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such current market price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustments shall become effective immediately after such record date. (d) In case the Operating Partnership shall issue OP Interests (or the Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be, shall issue securities convertible into OP Interests) at a price per share less than the current market price (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the OP Interests on such record date (other than pursuant to any employee or director incentive or benefit plan of the Company or the Operating Partnership heretofore or hereafter adopted and other issuances to the Company), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of for such issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock OP Interests outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuancerecord date, plus (B) the number of shares which OP Interests that the aggregate offering price of the total number offered OP Interests (or the aggregate conversion price of shares the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchase offered) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock OP Interests outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock OP Interests offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment adjustments shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the such record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur date. (ce) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences shares of indebtedness, shares any class of Capital Stock of the Company other than Common Stock, cash evidences of indebtedness or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) abovecash), or shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock rights, warrants or options to subscribe for securities (other than those securities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valuevalue and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions distribute rights, warrants or options to subscribe for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% additional shares of the Company's market capitalization Capital Stock (defined as being the product of the then current market price of other than the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) ("Capital Stock Rights") pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.06, make proper provision so that each holder of a Security who converts such Security (or any portion thereof) after the Holder record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of any Security surrendered for conversion will the Capital Stock Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants Capital Stock Rights to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants Capital Stock Rights of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants Capital Stock Rights (the "Capital Stock Rights Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants Capital Stock Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, Capital Stock Rights; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such the Capital Stock Rights Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants Capital Stock Rights to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such the Security so convertedconverted was convertible immediately prior to the Capital Stock Rights Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Capital Stock Rights Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Capital Stock Rights. (f) Current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Daily Market Prices for 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last full trading day on the exchange or market referred to in determining such Daily Market Prices prior to the time of determination. Current market price per security or OP Interest which is convertible into Common Stock shall be deemed to be the current market price per share of Common Stock on the date of determination multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each such security or OP Interest is convertible. Current market price per OP Interest which is not convertible into shares of Common Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive of such current market price, and described in a Board Resolution. Current market price per security convertible into OP Interests shall be the current market price of such OP Interests on such date of determination multiplied by the number of OP Interests into which such securities are convertible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the issuance of Common Stock or OP Interests (or securities convertible into Common Stock or OP Interests) at a price per share not less than 90% of the current market price as determined above in connection with the acquisition of real property to be controlled by the Company shall be deemed to be an issuance of such Common Stock or OP Interests (or securities convertible into Common Stock or OP Interests) at the current market price and (ii) if, in connection with the acquisition by the Company or any Company Subsidiary of real property, the Company or the Operating Partnership agrees to issue Common Stock or OP Interests (or securities convertible into Common Stock or OP Interests) to the Seller of such real property, as part of the purchase price for such real property, and such issuance will occur after the closing date of such acquisition, the current market price of such Common Stock or OP Interests (or securities convertible into Common Stock or OP Interests) shall be determined, as of the closing date of such transaction, in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive of such current market price absent manifest error, and described in a Board Resolution. (g) In any case in which this Section 10.06 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date for an event, the Company may elect to defer, until such event, issuing to the holder of any Security converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence of the right to receive such shares.

If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock capital stock (including shares of Common StockStock and other capital stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcapital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period not exceeding 45 days from the date of such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (fd) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants by by (2) a fraction, of which which (2i) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options rights or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which which (3ii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (he) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock, evidences of indebtedness, equity securities other than Common Stock, or other assets (other than cash dividends paid out of surplus of the Company), or shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for securities (other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively those referred to in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (fd) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (he) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (ec) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five 30 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 45 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of before the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offerquestion. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 14.4 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 14.3 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 14.3 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (if) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (if) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustmentadjustment and, provided further, that adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Article XIV (other than this subsection (f)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of Securities or Common Stock. All calculations under this Article Seventeen XIV shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-one- hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (jg) Anything in this Section 14.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest or for rights to purchase capital stock pursuant to any future dividend or distribution which the Company determines to be comparable in purpose and in effect to the dividend and subsequent distribution of Rights or Additional Rights contemplated by the Rights Agreement or Additional Rights Agreement and no adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock. (h) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give mail or cause to be given mailed a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities at his address as the same appears on either the registry books of the Company or in the manner provided filings described in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of 4.1. Anything in this Section 1704 14.4 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Companycontrary notwithstanding, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon make such conversionreductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to the shares those required by this Section 14.4, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares")shares, a number distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedtaxable.

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. (d) In case Brocade shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a “Triggering Distribution”) to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of (i) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of DirectorsDirectors of Brocade, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of Brocade delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by Brocade or a Subsidiary of Brocade for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (ii) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (f) of this Section 4.6) on the Business Day (the “Determination Date”) immediately preceding the day on which such Triggering Distribution is declared by Brocade multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of Brocade), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (f) of this Section 4.6) on the Determination Date less the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair market valuevalue (determined as aforesaid in this Section 4.6(d)) of any such other consideration so distributed, paid or payable within such 12 months (including, without limitation, the portion of the assets so distributed Triggering Distribution) applicable to one share of Common Stock, Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date) and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock.

Notwithstanding cash consideration and the foregoing, in the event that the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of the assetsDirectors of Brocade, evidences whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, Brocade delivered to the extent applicableTrustee thereof) of any other consideration) that, together with the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with of (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of Brocade, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of Brocade delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration paid or payable in respect of any other tender offer offers by the Company Brocade or any Subsidiary of its Subsidiaries Brocade for Common Stock concluded consummated within the preceding 12 months preceding the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (ii) all cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds 15an amount equal to 10.0% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined as provided in accordance with subsection (f) belowof this Section 4.6) times as of the last date (the “Expiration Date”) at which tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the “Expiration Time”) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock then outstandingoutstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of Brocade) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the record date of such distributionday after the Expiration Date, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of such distribution Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any tendered sharesshares held in the treasury of Brocade) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the Expiration Time multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined as provided in accordance with subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered sharesthis Section 4.6) on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time minus Date and the denominator shall be the sum of (iix) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid) payable to stockholders shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (iless any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of Brocade) such at the Expiration Time and the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (f) of this Section 4.6) on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesDate, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration TimeDate. In the event that Brocade is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but Brocade is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased. If the application of this Section 4.6(e) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 4.6(e).

(f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) aboveof this Section 4.6, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock daily closing prices for the five 30 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 45 Trading Days beforebefore (i) the Determination Date or the Expiration Date, and ending not later thanas the case may be, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuancedistributions or tender offers under subsections (c), distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes (d) and (e) of this paragraph, Section 4.6 or (ii) the term "ex date," when used record date with respect to any issuancedistributions, distribution issuances or payments with respect to an Offerother events requiring such computation under subsection (b), means (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 4.6. The closing price for each day shall be the first date last reported sales price or, in case no such reported sale takes place on which such date, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices in either case on the NNM or, if the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if is not listed or admitted to trading thereonon the NNM, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on the right NNM or any national securities exchange, the last reported sales price of the Common Stock as quoted on the NNM or, in case no reported sales takes place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as quoted on the NNM or any comparable system or, if the Common Stock is not quoted on the NNM or any comparable system, the closing sales price or, in case no reported sale takes place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, as furnished by any two members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to receive time by Brocade for that purpose. If no such issuanceprices are available, distribution or Offerthe current market price per share shall be the fair value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of Brocade (which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of Brocade delivered to the Trustee). (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 4.6 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record datedate or a Determination Date or Expiration Date, as the Company case may be, established for purposes of this Section 4.6, Brocade may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event only until a date later than five Business Days following the effective time filing by the Company with the Trustee of the event giving rise certificate described in Section 4.9) issuing to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to Holder of any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to Determination Date or Expiration Date the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) Brocade issuable upon such conversion in excess of over and above the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company Brocade issuable thereupon upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii)adjustment; and, not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock in lieu of the Company (shares the issuance of which is so deferred, Brocade shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other assets appropriate evidence prepared by Brocade of the right to receive such shares. If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required to be made as of the record date or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in Determination Date or Expiration Date therefor is not thereafter made or paid by Brocade for any reason, the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required readjusted to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall would then be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) effect if such conversion occurs on record date had not been fixed or prior to the such effective date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights Determination Date or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedExpiration Date had not occurred.

An Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (aSection 10.7(a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock, entitling them, for a period expiring not more than sixty (60) days immediately following the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitling them entitled to receive such rights or warrants, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock), at a price per share (or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share) that is less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) belowSection 10.7(e)) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined increased by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of such distribution by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) sum of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstandingoutstanding at the close of business on such record date and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate exercise, conversion, exchange or other price at which the Underlying Shares (as defined below) may be subscribed for or purchased pursuant to such rights or warrants would purchase at such current market price and (B) the denominator shall be the sum of (i) number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date and (ii) the aggregate number of shares (the “Underlying Shares”) of Common Stock underlying all such issued rights or warrants (whether by exercise, conversion, exchange or otherwise).

In no event shall the Conversion Price be increased pursuant to this Section 10.7(b). (c) In case the Company shall dividend or distribute to all holders of such Common Stock shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), evidences of Indebtedness or other assets, or shall dividend or distribute to all holders of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities (other than those referred to in Section 10.7(b)), if these distributions, aggregated on a rolling twelve (12) month basis, have a per share value exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration of the distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined decreased by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such dividend or distribution by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined pursuant to Section 10.7(e)) on such record date less and (B) the denominator shall be an amount equal to (i) such current market price plus (ii) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), on such record date, of the cash so portion of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, assets, rights and warrants to be dividended or distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date; provided, however, that if such denominator is equal to or less than one, then, in lieu of the Expiration Time. For purposes foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Price, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of this subsection its Securities, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable (eand cash, if any, payable) upon such conversion, an amount of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, assets, rights and/or warrants that such Holder would have received had such Holder converted all of its Securities on such record date. (d) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in Subsections (a), (b) and (c) above, the fair market value Company, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law, may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for a period of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall at least twenty (20) days or such longer period as may be reasonably determined in good faith required by law, if the Board of Directors has made a determination, which determination shall be conclusive, that such decrease would be in the best interests of the Company.

(hiii) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, when used with respect to any Security converted after such record tender offer or exchange offer means the first date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to on which the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of trades the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable regular way on such conversion. (i) No adjustment exchange or in such market after the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the expiration time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights tender offer or warrants, and exchange offer (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights as it may be amended or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedextended).

For purposes of this paragraph, the term "'ex' date", when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to receive such issuance, distribution issuance or Offerdistribution. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws.

(i9) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted

(b) In case the Company Parent shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock rights, warrants or options entitling them such holders (for a period commencing no earlier than the date of distribution and expiring not more than 60 days after the date of distribution) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the average Common Stock on Price for the record 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the date mentioned belowthe distribution of such rights, warrants or options was first publicly announced by the Parent, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, decreased so that the same Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of issuance of for such rights, options or warrants issue by a fraction, of which, (2i) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuancepublic announcement, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering subscription or purchase price of for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered by the rights, warrants or options so issued (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities offered for subscription by such rights, warrants or purchase options) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rightsaverage Common Stock Price, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of whichand (3ii) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, public announcement plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered by such rights, warrants or options (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription by such rights, warrants or purchaseoptions are convertible); provided that no adjustment will be made if Holders of the Securities may participate in the transaction on a basis and with notice that the Parent’s Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights, warrants or options are exercisable not all rights, warrants issued by or options shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been upon application of the foregoing adjustment substituting the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (bor the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued) until such triggering events shall occur for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered (or convertible securities offered). (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries Parent shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock of the Parent (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash other securities or other assets assets, or shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock, rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (including securitiesexcluding (i) those rights, but other than options and warrants referred to in Section 10.05(b); (xii) regular those dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations referred to in Section 10.05(a); and (iii) those dividends or and distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required referred to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) aboveSection 10.05(e), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction fraction, (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock Market Price on the record date mentioned below for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Parent’s Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the Capital Stock or evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets so distributed or of such rights, warrants or options, in each case applicable to one share of Common Stock, and and (ii) the denominator of which the denominator shall be the Market Price on such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such record date, such adjustment shall to become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding ; provided, that if the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value numerator of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by foregoing fraction is less than $0.10 per share1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the cash and Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the distribution such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, immediately prior to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to record date for such distribution; provided, further, that no adjustment will be made if Holders of the Securities may participate in the transaction on a basis and with notice that the Parent’s Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate. (d) In case the Company Parent or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required Parent makes a payment to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders Holders of Common Stock in respect of a tender or exchange offer other than an odd-lot offer, for the Common Stock to the extent that the offer involves aggregate amount consideration that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value Fair Market Value of any other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender or exchange offer by the Company or Parent of any of its Subsidiaries for shares of the Common Stock concluded consummated within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been madenot triggering a Conversion Price adjustment, exceeds 15an amount equal to 12.5% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record expiration date of such distributionthe tender offer, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date expiration time of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with by a fraction, (i) any cash and the fair market value numerator of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and (ii) the Conversion Price denominator of which shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction sum of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (iix) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders holders of Common Stock based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender or exchange offer) of all shares of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (iless any Purchased Shares) such current market price per share on at the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares and the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased SharesTime, such reduction adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection If the Parent is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Parent is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. (e) In case the Parent shall declare a cash dividend or cash distribution to all of the holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the average of the Common Stock Price for the three consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or distribution (the “Pre-Dividend Sale Price”), minus the fair market value full amount of any consideration with respect such cash dividend or cash distribution applicable to an Offer one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be reasonably determined the Pre-Dividend Sale Price, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution; provided no adjustment to the Conversion Price or the ability of a Holder of a Security to convert will be made if the Parent provides that Holders of Securities will participate in good faith by the Board of Directors cash dividend or cash distribution without conversion; provided further, that if the numerator of the Company foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the cash and described Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security immediately prior to the record date for such cash dividend or cash distribution at the Conversion Rate and for the Conversion Value in a Board Resolutioneffect at such time. If such cash dividend or cash distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (f) For If the purpose rights provided for in the Parent’s Rights Agreement dated as of any computation under subsections October 5, 1996 (bas amended from time to time, the “Stockholder Rights Plan”), (c)have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Stockholder Rights Plan so that the Holders of the Securities would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities, (d) and (ethe Conversion Price will be adjusted as provided in Section 10.05(c) above, subject to readjustment in the current market price per share event of the expiration, termination or redemption of the rights. In lieu of any such adjustment, the Parent may amend the Stockholder Rights Plan to provide that upon conversion of the Securities the Holders will receive, in addition to the cash and Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be issuable upon such conversion, the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of rights such Holder would have received had such holder converted its Security solely into Common Stock for at the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question then applicable Conversion Price and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which rights had not become separated from the Common Stock trades regular way on under the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereonStockholder Rights Plan. To the extent that the Parent adopts any future rights plan, then on upon conversion of the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuanceSecurities, distribution or Offer. (g) In Holders will receive, in addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) cash and (e) aboveCommon Stock issuable upon such conversion, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions rights under the future rights plan in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders respect of the shares of Common Stock. In Stock such Holder would have received had such holder converted its Security solely into Common Stock at the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the then applicable Conversion Price, whether or not the Company shall comply with rights have separated from the requirements Common Stock at the time of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act conversion, and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and no adjustment to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable Conversion Price will be made in connection with the reduction any distribution of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such lawsrights thereunder. (hg) In any case in which this Section 1704 10.05 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record datedate established for purposes of this Section 10.05, the Company Parent may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event only until a date later than five Business Days following the effective time filing by the Company with the Trustee of the event giving rise certificate described in Section 10.09) issuing to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to holder of any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effectivethe cash, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) Parent issuable upon such conversion in excess of over and above the number of cash, shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company Parent issuable thereupon upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii)adjustment; and, not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock in lieu of the Company (cash and shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Parent shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other assets or securities) issuable on appropriate evidence of the right to receive such conversionshares. (ih) No Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment in decreasing the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities would be issued for less than the par value of such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date")Common Stock, the same number of rights or warrants to Parent will take all corporate action which a holder of a number of may be necessary in order that the Parent may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of at such adjusted Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedPrice.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares or (3iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which that he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options rights or warrants by a fraction, of which (2ii) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3iii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants; providedPROVIDED, howeverHOWEVER, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' shareholder rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall will not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur occur. (c) In case the Company or any subsidiary of its Subsidiaries the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock Stock, any of its assets, evidences of indebtedness, cash or other assets or shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets Stock (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence Directors of such fair market valuethe Company) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 12.6 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 1510% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 12.5 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment adjustment, pursuant to such subsection (d) ), has been made, exceeds 1510% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time Times times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) abovee)above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. If on any such Trading Day the Common Stock is not quoted by any organization referred to in the definition of Last Sale Price in Section 12.3 hereof, the fair value of the Common Stock on such day, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be used. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange Nasdaq National Market (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereonthereof, then on the principal national securities market or exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stockadvisable. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Priceconversion price, the Company shall will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Priceprice of the Notes; provided, however, PROVIDED that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 12.5 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second last sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and on and before such adjustment shall have become effective, effective (i) defer paying any cash Cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 12.3 hereof or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment adjustment, and (ii), ) not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash Cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 12.3 hereof and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversionConversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 11.0% of the Conversion Price; provided, howeverPROVIDED, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen 12 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent conversion agent an Officer's Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give mail or cause to be given mailed a notice of such adjustment to each Security Holder at his address as the same appears on the registry books of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106Registrar. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or and warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of 57 rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedconverted was convertible immediately prior to such Distribution Date would have been entitled on such Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants.

The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities Price shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Parent as follows: (a) In case the Company Parent shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class to all holders of Capital Stock of the CompanyCommon Stock, (2ii) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (3iv) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion Term B Loan Lender shall be entitled to receive the that number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he it would have owned immediately following such action had such Security the Term B Loan been converted immediately prior theretoto the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend in shares or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company Parent shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 90 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to in accordance with subsection (f) belowe) of the Common Stock on this Section 15.6) at the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuancerecord date, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription (or purchase the aggregate Conversion Price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants; providedwarrants are issued, however, that if any and shall become effective immediately after such rights, options record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights or warrants issued by are exercisable not all rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (b) until such triggering events shall occur or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries Parent shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock capital stock of the Parent (other than Common Stock), cash evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities, but securities of any company other than the Parent), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively excluding those referred to in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection of this Section 15.6) (a) or (b) above"Rights"), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided defined in subsection (fe) belowof this Section 15.6) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of DirectorsDirectors of the Parent, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the capital stock or assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common StockStock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator shall be such the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) of this Section 15.6) of the Common StockStock on such record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price Parent shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants distribute Rights (other than those referred to in subsection (b) aboveof this Section 15.6) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as the Parent may, in lieu of making any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Companyadjustment pursuant to this Section 15.6, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder Term B Loan Lender upon conversion of any Security surrendered the Note after the record date for conversion will such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants Rights to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants Rights of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants Rights to which a holder the Term B Loan Lender of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, Rights and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants Rights to which a holder the Term B Loan Lender of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the outstanding principal amount of the Term B Loan together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights. (d) In case the Parent shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a "Triggering Distribution") to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of any other cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.6 has been made, exceeds 50% of the product of the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 15.6) on the Business Day (the "Determination Date") immediately preceding the day on which such Security Triggering Distribution is declared by the Parent multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (excluding shares held in the Treasury of the Parent), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so convertedthat the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 15.6) on the Determination Date less the amount of cash so distributed within such 12 months (including, without limitation, the Triggering Distribution) applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date) and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 15.6) on the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date on which the Triggering Distribution is paid. (e) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 15.6, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the 30 consecutive Trading Days commencing 35 Trading Days before (i) the Determination Date with respect to distributions under subsection (d) of this Section 15.6 or (ii) the record date with respect to distributions, issuances or other events requiring such computation under subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 15.

(other than Common Stock, cash ) or other evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular excluding cash dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (afrom retained earnings of Ventas, Inc.) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) above) (any of the foregoing being herein in this paragraph (c) called the “Special Securities”), subsection (a) or (b) above)then, then in each such case case, unless Ventas, Inc. elects to reserve such Special Securities for distribution to the Conversion Price Holders of Securities of that series upon the conversion so that any such Holder converting such Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of Special Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities, converted Securities into Common Stock, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided defined for purposes of this paragraph (c) in subsection paragraph (fe) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below above less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market valueconclusive) of the portion of the assets Special Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which the denominator shall be such the current market price per share (as defined in paragraph (e) below) of Common Stock; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Special Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common StockStock is equal to or greater than the current market price per share (as defined in paragraph (e) below) of Common Stock on the record date mentioned above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Securities of that series shall have the right to receive the amount and kind of Special Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Securities immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection paragraph (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company If, pursuant to paragraph (b) or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) shall have been adjusted because Ventas, Inc. has declared a dividend, or made a distribution, on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share outstanding shares of Common Stock equals in the form of any right or exceeds such current market price per share warrant to purchase securities of Common StockVentas, Inc., or Ventas, Inc. has issued any such current market price exceeds right or warrant, then, upon the expiration of any such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per shareunexercised right or unexercised warrant, the Conversion Price conversion price shall not forthwith be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d)equal the conversion price that would have applied had such right or warrant never been declared, and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributiondistributed or issued. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections paragraph (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices reported last sales prices for the 30 consecutive Trading Days (as defined below) commencing 45 Trading Days before the date in question. For the purpose of a any computation under paragraph (c) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the on any date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation.

(g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason average of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, reported last sales prices for the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and 10 consecutive Trading Days before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur occur.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.

For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if -88- not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the -89- Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedcon

The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as of the Closing Date as follows: (a) In case the Company shall shall, after the date hereof, (1i) make or pay a stock dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution in shares of its capital stock (whether shares of its Common Stock on or of capital stock of any class of Capital Stock of the Companyother class), (2ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of sharesStock, (3iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares shares, or (4iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder holder of any Security a Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security Note been converted immediately prior thereto. An Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock. (b) In case the Company Company, after the date of this Agreement, shall issue rights, warrants or options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them the recipients thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowConversion Price then in effect, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same it shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, warrants or options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, warrants or options or warrants, (immediately prior to such issuance), plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered to subscription or purchase) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)Conversion Price then in effect, and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, warrants or options or warrants, (immediately prior to such issuance, ) plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchasepurchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchase are convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued. In determining whether any rights, warrants or warrants issued options entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at less than the Conversion Price then in effect and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock (or conversion price of such convertible securities), there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company as described for such rights, warrants or options (and for such convertible securities), the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in this subsection good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (b) which determination shall be conclusive). If at the end of the period during which such warrants, rights or options are only exercisable upon not all such warrants, rights or options shall have been exercised, the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been based on the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (b) until such triggering events shall occur or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). (c) In case the Company or any Company, after the date of its Subsidiaries this Agreement, shall distribute to all holders of its outstanding Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock capital stock (other than Common Stock), cash evidences of its Indebtedness or other assets (including securitiessecurities and cash, but other than (x) regular excluding any cash dividend paid out of current or retained earnings of the Company and dividends or distributions paid exclusively payable in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution stock for which an adjustment is required made pursuant to be made in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 12.4) or rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company (excluding those referred to in subsection (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) aboveof this Section 12.4), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided Conversion Price then in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below effect less the then fair market value on such record date (as determined in good faith by the Board of DirectorsDirectors of the Company, whose which determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valueconclusive) of the portion of the capital stock or the evidences of Indebtedness or the assets so distributed to the holder of one share of Common Stock or of such subscription rights, warrants or options applicable to one share of Common Stock, Stock and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common StockConversion Price then in effect. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding If at the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value end of the assetsperiod during which warrants, rights or options described in this subsection (c) are exercisable not all such warrants, rights or options shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been based on the number of warrants, rights or options actually exercised. (d) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 12.4 to the contrary, with respect to any rights, warrants or options covered by subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 12.4, if such rights, warrants or options are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (including the occurrence of any date of vesting), then for purposes of this Section 12.4 such rights, warrants or options shall not be deemed issued or distributed, and any adjustment to the Conversion Price required by subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 12.4 shall not be made until such triggering events occur and/or such rights, warrants or options become exercisable. (e) In case the Company, after the date of this Agreement, shall issue shares of its Common Stock (excluding those rights, warrants, options, shares of capital stock or evidences of indebtedness its Indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable assets referred to one share of Common Stock equals in subsection (b) or exceeds such current market (c) to this Section 12.4) at a net price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per sharethe Conversion Price in effect on the date the Company fixes the offering price of such additional shares, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced immediately thereafter so that the same it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution thereto by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share number of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, outstanding immediately prior to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration issuance of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times additional shares plus the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on which the Expiration Time, aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered would purchase at the Conversion Price then in effect and the denominator shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding (including any tendered immediately after the issuance of such additional shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator . Such adjustment shall be the product of (i) made successively whenever such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Timean issuance is made. For purposes of this This subsection (e)) shall not apply to Common Stock issued to any employee, the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors officer or director of the Company under a bona fide employee or director benefit plan adopted by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof and described in a Board Resolutionapproved by the stockholders of the Company or such Subsidiary, as appropriate. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 12.4 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date or an effective date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event only until a date later than five Business Days following the effective time mailing by the Company to the holders of Notes of the event giving rise certificate required by subsection (h) of this Section 12.4) issuing to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to holder of any Security Note converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to effective date the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of over and above the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment adjustment, and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay paying to such Holder the appropriate holder any amount of cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares in lieu of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversiona fractional share. (ig) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required to be made unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1% of the Conversion Price%) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (ig) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen Section 12.4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may becent.

An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution the effective date in the case of subdivision or combination. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13.05(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend, except as provided in Section 13.05(h), and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case If the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock Shares at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Shares (as determined pursuant to subsection (fdefined for purposes of this Section 13.05(b) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market priceSection 13.05(e)), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after at the record date for the determination of holders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described conversion price in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of Common Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so offered would purchase at such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares receivable upon exercise of such rights or warrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately, except as provided in Section 13.05(h), after such record date. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders of the Securities of such Series to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at less than such current market price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants plus the exercise price thereof, the value of such consideration or exercise price, as the case may be, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. (c) If the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Shares) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid from retained earnings of the Company) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights or warrants referred to in Section 13.05(b)) (any of the foregoing being herein in this Section 13.05(c) called the "SPECIAL SECURITIES"), the conversion price shall be adjusted as provided in the next sentence unless the Company elects to reserve such Special Securities for distribution to the Holders of Securities of such Series upon the conversion so that any such Holder converting such Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of Special Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities, converted Securities into Common Shares. The conversion price, as adjusted, shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided defined for purposes of this Section 13.05(c) in subsection (f) belowSection 13.05(e)) of the Common Stock Shares on the record date mentioned below above less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market valueconclusive) of the portion of the assets Special Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common StockShare, and the denominator of which the denominator shall be such the current market price per share Common Shares (as defined in Section 13.05(e)). In the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Special Securities so distributed applicable to one Common StockShare is equal to or greater than the current market price per Common Share (as defined in Section 13.05(e)) on the record date mentioned above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Securities of such Series shall have the right to receive the amount and kind of Special Securities such holder would have received had he converted such Securities immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) belowSection 13.05(h), after the record date for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case If, pursuant to Section 13.05(b) or 13.05(c), the conversion price shall have been adjusted because the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) abovehas declared a dividend, or cash distributed upon made a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of distribution, on the outstanding Common Stock Shares in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect form of any tender offer by the Company right or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% warrant to purchase securities of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being , or the product Company has issued any such right or warrant, then, upon the expiration of any such unexercised right or unexercised warrant, the then current market conversion price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall forthwith be adjusted so that the same shall to equal the conversion price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of that would have applied had such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so right or warrant never been declared, distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionissued. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (bSection 13.05(b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock Share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock reported last sales prices for the five 30 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company (as defined below) commencing not more than 20 45 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of before the date in question and question. For the purpose of any computation under Section 13.05(c), the current market price per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the reported last sales prices for the ten consecutive Trading Days before the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computationin question. For The reported last sales price for each day (whether for purposes of this paragraphSection 13.05(b) or 13.05(c)) shall be the reported last sales price, regular way, or, in case no sale takes place on such day, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuanceaverage of the reported closing bid and asked prices, distribution or payments with respect to an Offerregular way, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way in either case as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or Composite Tape or, if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading thereonon the New York Stock Exchange, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is Shares are listed or admitted to trading) without trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the right to receive such issuanceNasdaq National Market or, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to if the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) aboveCommon Shares are not quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, the Company will be permitted to make average of the closing bid and asked prices on such reductions day in the Conversion Price over-the-counter market as it considers to be advisable furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in order that any event treated the Common Shares selected for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend such purpose by the Board of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to Directors or, if no such quotations are available, the holders fair market value of the shares of Common Stock.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants; provided, however, -------- ------- that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (bc) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plansevents, then the Conversion Price shall will not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (bc) until such triggering events occur. Upon the expiration or termination of any rights, options or warrants without the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price then in effect shall occur be adjusted immediately to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such rights, options or warrants, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued. (cd) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of its Subsidiaries the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock Stock, any of its assets, evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets securities (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or cash, (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (bc) above)above and in mergers and consolidations to which Section 13.6 applies, or (z) any distribution of rights or warrants subject to subsection (al) or (bbelow) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the record date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such distribution shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on the such record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence Directors of such fair market valuethe Company) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (de) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (cd) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 13.6 applies) to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender or exchange offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price immediately following such record date shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash and/or fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of other consideration so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (hi) and (j) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (ef) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall complete a tender or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offertender or exchange offer, as of the expiration of such other Offertender or exchange offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (ef) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (de) of this Section 1704 13.5 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price conversion price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (de) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following such Expiration Time shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (fg) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (ef), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (fg) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d), (e) and (ef) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex 'ex' date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. If on any such Trading Day the Common Stock is not quoted by any organization referred to in the definition of Last Sale Price in Section 13.3 hereof, the fair value of the Common Stock on such day, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be used. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex 'ex' date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York American Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which or the Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market if the Common Stock is listed or admitted to tradingtrading thereon) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (gh) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (ef) above, the Company, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law, may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for at least 20 Business Days, if the Board of Directors has made a determination, which determination shall be conclusive, that such reduction would be in the best interests of the Company. The Company will shall cause notice of such reduction to be permitted mailed to each Holder of Securities, in the manner specified in Section 13.7, at least 15 days prior to the date on which such reduction commences. The Company may, at its option, also make such reductions in the Conversion Price in addition to those set forth above, as it considers the Board of Directors deems advisable to be advisable in order that avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for Federal United States federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such lawspurposes. (hi) In any case in which this Section 1704 13.5 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and on and before such adjustment shall have become effective, effective (i) defer paying any cash Cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 13.3 hereof or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment adjustment, and (ii), ) not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash Cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 13.3 hereof and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (ij) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 11.0% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this -------- subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen XIII shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (jk) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent conversion agent an Officer's Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give mail or cause to be given mailed a notice of such adjustment to each Holder holder of Securities in at his address as the manner provided in Section 106same appears on the registry books of the Company. (kl) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (bc) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security Note surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security Note so convertedconverted was convertible immediately prior to such Distribution Date would have been entitled on such Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants.

The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company Issuer shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) make a distribution on Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares or (3iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted as provided below so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he or she would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (he) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company Issuer shall issue rights, warrants or options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period not exceeding 45 days from the date of such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (fd) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights, warrants or options or warrants by a fraction, of which (2ii) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, warrants or options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, warrants or options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3iii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options warrants or warrantsoptions, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (he) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options warrants or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur options. (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries Issuer shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock equity securities (including equity interests in the Issuer's Subsidiaries) other than Common Stock, cash Stock or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular cash dividends or distributions paid exclusively out of earned surplus of the Issuer or, if there shall be no earned surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in cash or (y) any which the dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) aboveand/or the preceding fiscal year), or shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock rights, warrants or options to subscribe to securities (other than those referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (fd) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value, and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets assets, evidences of indebtedness and equity securities so distributed or of such subscription rights, warrants or options applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (he) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (ec) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company trading days commencing not more than 20 Trading Days trading days before, and ending not later than, the earlier earliest of the date in question and the date before the "ex date,ex" date with respect to the issuance, issuance or distribution or Offer requiring such computation. If on any such trading day the Common Stock is not quoted by any organization referred to in the definition of Last Sale Price in Section 14.03, the fair value of the Common Stock on such day, as determined by the Board of Directors, shall be used. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex 'ex' date," ", when used with respect to any issuance, distribution issuance or payments with respect to an Offerdistribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to tradingtrading (or, if not so listed or admitted, on NASDAQ or a similar organization if NASDAQ is no longer reporting trading information) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution issuance or Offerdistribution. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company Issuer may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company Issuer shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, effective (i) defer paying making any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 14.03 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) Issuer issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company Issuer issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment adjustment, and (ii), ) not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 14.03 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) Issuer issuable on such conversion. (if) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required if Securityholders are to participate in the transaction on a basis and with notice that the Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and notice on which holders of Common Stock participate in the transaction. In addition, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of in the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (if) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so converted

(c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock, cash ) or other evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular excluding cash-dividends or distributions paid exclusively from retained earnings of the Company) of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those referred to in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price conversion price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided defined in subsection (fd) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of DirectorsDirectors of the Company, whose determination shallshall be conclusive, if made and-described in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market valuea certificate filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock or assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (d) below) of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (ec) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on at any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share last reported sales prices for the twenty consecutive days (which are Trading Days as defined below) next preceding the day in question. The last reported sales price for each day shall be (i) the last reported sales price of Common Stock on the National Market of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., Automated Quotation System, or any similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices then in common use, if so quoted, or (ii) if not quoted as described in clause (i), the mean between the high bid and low asked quotations for the five consecutive Trading Days selected Common Stock as reported by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, National Quotation Bureau Incorporated if at least two securities dealers have inserted both bid and ending not later than, the earlier asked quotations for such class of stock on at least 5 of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance10 preceding days, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or iii) if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted or trading on any national securities exchange, the last sale price, or the closing bid price if no sale occurred, of such class of stock on the principal securities exchange on which such class of stock is listed. If the Common Stock is quoted on a national securities or central market system, in lieu of a market or quotation system described above, the last reported sales price shall be determined in the manner set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence if bid and asked quotations are reported but actual transactions are not, and in the manner set forth clause (iii) of the preceding sentence if actual transactions are reported. If none of the conditions set forth above is met, the last reported sales price of Common Stock on any day or the average of such last reported sales prices for any period shall be the fair market value of such class of stock as determined by a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. selected by the Company. As used herein the term "Trading Days" with respect to tradingCommon Stock means (i) without if the right to receive Common Stock is quoted on the National Market of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System or any similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices, days on which trades may be made on such issuancesystem or (ii) if the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange, distribution or Offerdays on which such national securities exchange is open for business. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Pricein such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (ie) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen Fifteen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-one hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 15.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those required by this Section 15.05, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or a distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable. (jf) Whenever the Conversion Price conversion price is adjusted adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent any conversion agent other than the Trustee an Officer's Certificate Officers' Certificate. setting forth the Conversion Price conversion price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness . Promptly after delivering of such adjustmentcertificate, and (ii) give or cause to be given the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the conversion price setting forth the adjusted conversion price and the date on which such adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the conversion price to the holder of each Holder of Securities in Debenture at his last address appearing on the manner Debenture register provided !or in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) 2.05 of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedIndenture.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate as stated in paragraph 9 of the Securities (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, shall be subject to adjustment adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the CompanyStock, (2ii) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (3iv) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Companyshares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the that number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he it would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior theretoto the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassification. If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockcombination. (b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to in accordance with subsection (f) belowd) of the Common Stock this Section 4.6) on the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which (2) which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription (or purchase the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would purchase at the Current Market Price per share (as defined in subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) of Common Stock on such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)record date, and of which (3) which the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants; providedwarrants are issued, however, that if any and shall become effective immediately after such rights, options record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights or warrants issued by are exercisable not all rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the adjusted Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (b) until such triggering events shall occur or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any shares of Capital Stock capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), cash evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities, but securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (x1) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y2) any dividend dividends or distribution for which an adjustment is required distributions referred to be made in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 4.6), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) above), subsection (a) of this Section 4.6 and also excluding the distribution of rights to all holders of Common Stock pursuant to the adoption of a stockholders rights plan or (b) abovethe detachment of such rights under the terms of such stockholder rights plan), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price Current Market Price per share (determined as provided defined in subsection (fd) belowof this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share (as defined in subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. In the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of a Security shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants such holder would have received had such holder converted each Security on such record date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 4.6(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. In the event that the Company implements a preferred shares rights plan ("Rights Plan"), upon conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, to the extent that the Rights Plan has been implemented and is still in effect upon such conversion, the holders of Securities will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights described therein (whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion), subject to the limitations set forth in the Rights Plan. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a Rights Plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to this Section 4.6(c). Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.6 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.6 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 4.6(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.6 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. (1) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a "Triggering Distribution") to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market valuethereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any 26 tender offer by the portion Company or a Subsidiary of the assets so distributed applicable Company for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to one this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of the Current Market Price per share of Common StockStock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Business Day (the "Determination Date") immediately preceding the day on which such Triggering Distribution is declared by the Company multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company), and the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the denominator numerator shall be such current market price the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except Stock (as provided determined in accordance with subsection (hd) below, after of this Section 4.6) on the record date for Determination Date less the determination sum of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in aggregate amount of cash and the event that the aggregate fair market value (determined as aforesaid in this Section 4.6(c)(1)) of any such other consideration so distributed, paid or payable within such 12 months (including, without limitation, the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed Triggering Distribution) applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date) and the denominator shall be such current market price Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (cd) andof this Section 4.6) on the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the extent applicable, opening of business on the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionday following the date on which the Triggering Distribution is paid. (d2) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall involve the payment of aggregate consideration in an amount (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the preceding 12 months preceding the date of the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds 15an amount equal to 10.0% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (as determined as provided in accordance with subsection (fd) belowof this Section 4.6) times as of the last date (the "Expiration Date") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the "Expiration Time") multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock then outstandingoutstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the record date of such distributionday after the Expiration Date, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date close of such distribution business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any tendered sharesshares held in the treasury of the Company) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to at the Expiration Time multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered sharesthis Section 4.6) on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time minus Date and the denominator shall be the sum of (iix) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid) payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offertender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be (y) the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares and other Capital Stock excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company issuable thereupon only on Company) at the basis of Expiration Time and the Conversion Current Market Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares per share of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment as determined in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this accordance with subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to 4.6) on the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by Trading Day next succeeding the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Expiration Date, the same number of rights or warrants such reduction to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedbecome effec

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price or rate (herein called the "Conversion Price") for a series of Securities shall be as set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 201 and 301 by or pursuant to which the form and terms of the Securities of such series were established, and, except as otherwise provided therein, Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company pays any cash dividend (including regularly scheduled cash dividends) or other cash distribution to holders of its Common Stock, then on and after the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividend or distribution, the Conversion Price shall be decreased by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be (A) the current market price (as determined pursuant to Section 10.7(f)) of the Common Stock in effect at the close of business on such record date, minus (B) the per share amount of such dividend or other distribution, and (ii) the denominator shall be the current market price of the Common Stock in effect at the close of business on such record date. Such decrease shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date. (b) In case the Company shall (1i) make or pay a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock on any class to all holders of Capital Stock of the CompanyCommon Stock, (2ii) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, shares of Common Stock or (3iv) combine its the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (4) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the CompanyStock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he such Holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Security Securities been converted immediately prior thereto. An Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (aSECTION 10.7(b) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination subdivision or reclassificationcombination. If as a result any dividend or distribution of an adjustment made pursuant to the type described in this subsection (a)Section 10.7(b) is declared -38- but not so paid or made, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or among shares of such classes of Capital Stockdistribution had not been declared. (bc) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock, entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 60 days immediately following the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitling them entitled to receive such rights or warrants, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock), at a price per share (or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share) that is less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) belowSECTION 10.7(f)) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned belowfor the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined decreased by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which which (2i) the numerator shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus and (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which (3) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on which the date aggregate purchase price for such rights or warrants plus the aggregate exercise, conversion, exchange or other price at which the aggregate number of issuance shares (the "Underlying Shares") of Common Stock underlying all such rightsissued rights or warrants (whether by exercise, options conversion, exchange or warrants, immediately prior otherwise) may be subscribed for or purchased pursuant to such issuancerights or warrants would purchase at such current market price, plus and (Bii) the denominator shall be the sum of (C) number of additional shares of Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchaseoutstanding at the close of business on such record date, and (D) the aggregate number of Underlying Shares. Such adjustment increase shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date. In no event shall the Conversion Price be decreased pursuant to this SECTION 10.7(c). To the extent that shares of Common Stock (hor securities convertible into Common Stock) below, after the record date for the determination of holders entitled are not delivered pursuant to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any upon the expiration or termination of such rights, options rights or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur . (c) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but other than (x) regular dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect immediately prior to had the date adjustments made upon the issuance of such distribution by a fraction rights or warrants been made on the basis of which the numerator delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the current market price per share (determined as provided Conversion Price which would then be in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record effect if such date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness rights or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall warrants had not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distributionbeen fixed. (d) In case the Company shall dividend or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) distribute to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect shares of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value Capital Stock of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company (other than Common Stock), evidences of Indebtedness or any other assets (other than cash dividends or distributions covered by SECTION 10.7(a)), or shall dividend or distribute to all holders of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities (other than those referred to in respect of which no adjustment has been madeSECTION 10.7(c)), exceeds 15% if these dividends and distributions, aggregated on a rolling twelve-month basis, have a per share value exceeding twelve percent (12%) of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (as determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstandingpursuant to SECTION 10.7(f)) on the record date Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration of the last such dividend or distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined decreased by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividend or distribution by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the then current an amount equal to (A) such market price per share less (B) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of the Common Stock Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), on such record date less the amount date, of the cash so portion of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, assets, rights and warrants to be dividended or distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which (ii) the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Sharesprice, such reduction decrease to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date; provided, however, that if such denominator is equal to or less than one, then, in lieu of the Expiration Timeforegoing adjustment to the Conversion Price, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of its Securities, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable (and cash, if any, payable) upon such conversion, an amount of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, assets, rights and/or warrants that such Holder would have received had such Holder converted all of its Securities on such record date. For purposes of this subsection In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (e) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in SUBSECTIONS (a), (b), (c) and (d) above, the fair market value Company, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law, may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for a period of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall at least 20 days or such longer period as may be reasonably determined in good faith required by law, if the Board of Directors has made a determination, which determination shall be conclusive, that such decrease would be in the best interests of the Company. Such Conversion Price decrease shall be irrevocable during such period. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee and described in a Board Resolutioncause notice of such decrease to be mailed to each Holder of Securities at such ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s address as the same appears on the registry books of the Registrar, at least 15 days prior to the date on which such decrease commences. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections SUBSECTIONS (a), (b), (c), ) or (d) and (e) aboveabove of this SECTION 10.7, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the dividend, issuance or distribution requiring such computation (the "Determination Date") shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Closing Sale Prices for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the third Business Day preceding the Determination Date; provided, however, that (i) if the "ex" date for any event (other than the event requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to SUBSECTION (a), (b), (c) or (d), above occurs on or after the tenth (10th) Trading Day prior to the Determination Date, and prior to the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation, the Closing Sale Price for each Trading Day prior to the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Sale Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, (ii) if the "ex" date for any event (other than the event requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to SUBSECTION (a), (b), (c) or (d), above occurs on or after the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and on or prior to the Determination Date, the Closing Sale Price for each Trading Day on and after the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Sale Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, and (iii) if the "ex" date for the event requiring such computation is on or prior to the Determination Date, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to CLAUSE (i) OR (ii) of this proviso, the Closing Sale Price for each Trading Day on and after such "ex" date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for the purposes of this SECTION 10.7, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Resolution of the Board of Directors) of the evidences of Indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or other securities or assets or cash being distributed (in the event requiring such computation) applicable to one share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier as of the date in question and close of business on the date day before the such "ex ex" date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraphsubsection, the term "ex ex" date," , (x) when used with respect to any issuance, distribution issuance or payments with respect to an Offerdistribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades the regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (relevant exchange or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on in the principal national securities exchange on relevant market from which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) Closing Sale Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance, distribution issuance or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a)distribution, (b), (c), (dy) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted when used with respect to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend subdivision or combination of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In , means the event first date on which the Company elects to make Common Stock trades the regular way on such a reduction exchange or in such market after the Conversion Pricetime at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (hz) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, when used with respect to any Security converted after such record tender offer or exchange offer means the first date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to on which the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of trades the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable regular way on such conversion. (i) No adjustment exchange or in such market after the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the expiration time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights tender offer or warrants, and exchange offer (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights as it may be amended or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Security so convertedextended).

(b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options rights or warrants to substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants and expiring not more than 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock Current Market Price on the such record date mentioned belowdate, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying: (1) multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants by a fraction, fraction of which which (2i) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number offered shares of shares Common stock (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchase offered) would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price)Current Market Price, and of which (3ii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the such record date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which are the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchaseare convertible). Such adjustment adjustments shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the such record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, that if any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholders' rights plans, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events shall occur date.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or other securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1705 applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record date less the amount of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less that $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution. (e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and described in a Board Resolution. (f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer. (g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock distribute rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. (h) In any case in which this Section 1704 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the second sentence of subsection (a) or (c) above) be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Security converted after such record date and before such adjustment shall have become effective, (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 or issuing to the Holder of such Security the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment and (ii), not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to Section 1703 and issue to such Holder the additional shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other assets or securities) issuable on such conversion. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) file with the Trustee and each Conversion Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) give or cause to be given a notice of such adjustment to each Holder of Securities in the manner provided in Section 106. (k) In the event that the Company distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1704 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants to subscribe for securities (other than those the rights or warrants referred to in subsection (b) above) ("Rights") pro rata to holders of Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.06, make proper provision so that each holder of a Security who converts such Security (or any portion thereof) after the Holder record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of any Security surrendered for conversion will the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants Rights to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants Rights of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, Rights; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants Rights to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of such the Security so convertedconverted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, together with the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made in cash plus (y) all Excess Payments, in each case made within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to such distribution (the "Distribution Record Date") and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (e) of this Section or this paragraph (d) has been made, exceeds 5% of the product of the Current Market Price on the Distribution Record Date times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution Record Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph (d) by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on the Distribution Record Date less the amount of such cash and other consideration (including any Excess Payments) so distributed applicable to one share (based on the pro rata portion of the aggregate amount of such cash and other consideration (including any Excess Payments), divided by the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution Record Date of Common Stock and (ii) the denominator shall be such Current Market Price on the Distribution Record Date, such reduction to become Effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Distribution Record Date. (e) In case a tender offer or other negotiated transaction made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall be consummated, if an Excess Payment is made in respect of such tender offer or other negotiated transaction and the amount of such Excess Payment, together with the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of all Excess Payments plus (y) the aggregate amount of all distributions to all holders of the Common Stock made in cash, in each case made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such current negotiated transaction consideration or expiration of such current tender offer, as the case may be (the "Purchase Date"), and as to which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) or paragraph (d) of this Section or this paragraph (e) has been made, exceeds 5% of the product of the Current Market Price on the Purchase Date times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) on the Purchase Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph (e) by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on the Purchase Date less the amount of such Excess Payments and such cash distributions, if any, applicable to one share (based on the pro rata portion of the aggregate amount of such Excess Payments and such cash distributions, divided by the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Purchase Date) of Common Stock and (ii) the denominator shall be the Current Market Price on the Purchase Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Purchase Date. (f) In case the Company shall issue Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, Common Stock at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) that is less than the Current Market Price (but excluding, among other things, issuances: (1) pursuant to any bona fide plan for the benefit of employees, directors or consultants of the Company now or hereafter in effect; (2) to acquire all or any portion of a business in an arm's-length transaction between the Company and an unaffiliated third party including, if applicable, issuances upon exercise of options or warrants assumed in connection with such transaction; (3) in a bona fide public offering pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting or sales at the market pursuant to a continuous offering stock program; (4) pursuant to the exercise of warrants, rights (including, without limitation, earnout rights) or options, or upon the conversion of convertible securities, which are issued and outstanding on the date hereof, or which may be issued in the future for fair value and with an exercise price or conversion price at least equal to the Current Market Price at the time of such issuance), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date or issuance date, as applicable, plus a number determined by (B) multiplying the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered or issuable upon conversion or exchange times the offering, conversion or exchange price per share of additional shares and dividing the product thereof by the Current Market Price on the record date or issuance date, as applicable, and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date or issuance date, as applicable, plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered or issuable upon conversion or exchange. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such securities are issued and shall become effective on the date of such issuance. (g) The Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on any date (the "Current Market Price") shall be deemed to be the average of the Daily Market Prices for the shorter of (i) 30 consecutive Business Days ending on the last full trading day on the exchange or market referred to in determining such Daily Market Prices prior to the time of determination or (ii) the period commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of the issuance of such rights or such warrants or such other distribution or such negotiated transaction through such last full trading day on the exchange or market referred to in determining such Daily Market Prices prior to the time of determination. (h) In any case in which this Section 5.06 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date for an event, the Company may elect to defer, until such event, issuing to the holder of any Security converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence of the right to receive such shares.
