The Debentures shall be designated as “6.25% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2026,” not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of $32,272,000 (except pursuant to this Section 2.01, Section 2.05, Section 2.06, Section 3.03, Section 3.05, Section 3.06 and Section 15.02 hereof or as otherwise expressly permitted herein) upon the execution of this Indenture by the Company and delivery to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Debentures to or upon the written order of the Company, signed by (a) its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President (whether or not designated by a number or numbers or word or words added before or after the title “Vice President”) and (b) its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, its Controller or any Assistant Controller or its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, without any further action by the Company hereunder. From time to time thereafter, Add On Debentures may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount without the consent of any Holders upon execution by the Company and delivery to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Add On Debentures to or upon the written order of the Company executed in the

same manner as described in the immediately preceding sentence. If any Add On Debentures are issued, the Debentures issued on the Issue Date and such Add On Debentures shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture and shall vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the Debentures.

Section 2.02 Form of Debentures. The Debentures and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Debentures shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, which is incorporated in and made a part of this Indenture.

Any of the Debentures may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends and endorsements as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Debentures may be listed, or to conform to usage.

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

The terms and provisions contained in the form of Debenture attached as Exhibit A hereto shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

Section 2.03 Date and Denomination of Debentures; Payments of Interest. The Debentures shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Every Debenture shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the applicable date in each case as specified on the face of the form of Debenture attached as Exhibit A hereto. Interest on the Debentures shall be calculated using a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

The Person in whose name any Debenture (or its Predecessor Debenture) is registered on the Debenture register at the close of business on any Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, except (i) that the interest payable upon redemption (unless the Redemption Date is an Interest Payment Date) will be payable to the Person to whom principal is payable and (ii) as set forth in the next succeeding sentence. In the case of any Debenture (or portion thereof) that is converted during the period from (but excluding) a Record Date to (but excluding) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, and such Debenture (or portion thereof) has not been called for

redemption on a Redemption Date that occurs during such period and is not to be redeemed in connection with a Fundamental Change on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that occurs during such period, such Debenture (or portion thereof) that is submitted for conversion during such period shall be accompanied by funds equal to the interest payable on such succeeding Interest Payment Date on the principal amount so converted, as provided in the penultimate sentence of Section 15.02(c) hereof. The preceding sentence shall not apply to: (i) Debentures that are surrendered for conversion after being called by the Company for redemption with a Redemption Date that is after a Record Date for an Interest Payment Date but prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (ii) Debentures that are surrendered for conversion after being called by the Company for redemption in connection with a Fundamental Change with a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date for an Interest Payment Date but prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date or (iii) Debentures surrendered for conversion between the record date for the final Interest Payment Date and the opening of business on the final Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be payable at the office of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee and may, as the Company shall specify to the paying agent in writing by each record date, be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Debenture register (provided that the holder of Debentures with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $5,000,000 shall, at the written election of such Debentureholder, be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds); provided, however, that payments to the Depositary will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The term “Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the February 15 or August 15 preceding the relevant March 1 or September 1, respectively.

Any interest on any Debenture which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any March 1 or September 1 (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Debentureholder on the relevant Record Date by virtue of his having been such Debentureholder, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Debentures (or their respective Predecessor Debentures) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest to be paid on each Debenture and the date of the payment (which shall be not less than twenty-five (25) days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the

proposed payment, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Debentureholder at his address as it appears in the Debenture register, not less than ten (10) days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Debentures (or their respective Predecessor Debentures) were registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2) of this Section 2.03.

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

Section 2.04 Execution of Debentures. The Debentures shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President (whether or not designated by a number or numbers or word or words added before or after the title “Vice President”) and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Secretary or any of its Assistant Secretaries or its Treasurer or any of its Assistant Treasurers (which may be printed, engraved or otherwise reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise). Only such Debentures as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Debenture attached as Exhibit A hereto, manually executed by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.11), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Debenture executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Debenture so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Debentureholder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Debentures shall cease to be such officer before the Debentures so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Debentures nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Debentures had not ceased to be such officer of the Company, and any Debenture may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debenture, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer.

Section 2.05 Exchange and Registration of Transfer Debentures; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary.

(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 5.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Debenture register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the

Company shall provide for the registration of Debentures and transfers of Debentures. The Debenture register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonably prompt period of time. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Debenture registrar” for the purpose of registering Debentures and transfers of Debentures as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars in accordance with Section 5.02.

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

Debentures may be exchanged for other Debentures of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Debentures to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02. Whenever any Debentures are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Debentures which the Debentureholder making the exchange is entitled to receive bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

All Debentures presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption or conversion shall (if so required by the Company or the Debenture registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, and the Debentures shall be duly executed by the Debentureholder thereof or the Debentureholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Debenture registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Debentures for a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any selection of Debentures to be redeemed, (b) any Debentures or portions thereof called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.02, (c) any Debentures or portions thereof surrendered for conversion pursuant to Article 15 or (d) any Debentures or portions thereof tendered for redemption (and not withdrawn) pursuant to Section 3.05 or Section 3.06.

Each holder of a Debenture agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such holder’s Debenture by such holder in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities laws.

Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Person who has an account with the Depositary (a “Participant”) or any Person who holds a beneficial interest in a Global Debenture through a Participant (an “Indirect Participant”) or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the books or records, or the acts or omissions, of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Debentures or with respect to the delivery to any Participant or Indirect Participant or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Debentures. All notices and communications to be given to the holders and all payments to be made to holders under the Debentures shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Debenture). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Debenture shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its Participants or Indirect Participants.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Debenture (including any transfers between or among Participants or Indirect Participants in any Global Debenture) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(b) So long as the Debentures are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, all Debentures that, upon initial issuance are beneficially owned by QIBs or as a result of a sale or transfer after initial issuance are beneficially owned by QIBs, will be represented by one or more Debentures in global form registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary (the “Global Debenture”), except as otherwise specified below. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Debenture shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. The Trustee shall make appropriate endorsements to reflect increases or decreases in the principal amounts of any such Global Debenture as set forth on the face of the Debenture (“Principal Amount”) to reflect any such transfers. Except as provided below, beneficial owners of a Global Debenture shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered holders of such Global Debenture.

(c) So long as the Debentures are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, upon any transfer of a definitive Debenture to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, and upon receipt of the definitive Debenture or Debentures being so transferred, together with a certification, substantially in the form on the reverse of the Debenture, from the transferor that the transfer is being made in compliance with Rule 144A (or

other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee), the Trustee shall make an endorsement on the Global Debenture to reflect an increase in the aggregate Principal Amount of the Debentures represented by such Global Debenture, and the Trustee shall cancel such definitive Debenture or Debentures in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures of the Depositary, the aggregate Principal Amount of the Debentures represented by such Global Debenture to be increased accordingly; provided, however, that no definitive Debenture, or portion thereof, in respect of which the Company or an Affiliate of the Company held any beneficial interest shall be included in such Global Debenture until such definitive Debenture is freely tradable in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided further that, at the written request of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate Debentures issued by the Company in definitive form upon any transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Debenture to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.

Upon any sale or transfer of a Debenture to an Institutional Accredited Investor (other than pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act), such Institutional Accredited Investor shall, prior to such sale or transfer, furnish to the Company and/or the Trustee a signed letter containing representations and agreements relating to restrictions on transfer substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Indenture. Upon any transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Debenture to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Trustee shall make an endorsement on the Global Debenture to reflect a decrease in the aggregate Principal Amount of the Debentures represented by such Global Debenture, and the Company shall execute a definitive Debenture or Debentures in exchange therefore, and the Trustee, upon receipt of such definitive Debenture or Debentures and the written order of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such definitive Debenture or Debentures.

Any Debenture in global form may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture as may be required by the Custodian, the Depositary or by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. in order for the Debentures to be eligible for The PORTAL Market or as may be required for the Debentures to be tradable on any other market developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Debentures may be listed or traded or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Debentures are subject.

(d) Every Debenture that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(d) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(d) (together with any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Debentures and required to bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(e), collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(d) (including those set forth in the legend set forth below) unless such restrictions on transfer shall be waived by written consent of the Company, and the holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Debentureholder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in Sections 2.05(d) and 2.05(e), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security.

Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), any certificate evidencing such Debenture (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion thereof, which shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(e), if applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless such Debenture has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer), or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee:

NEITHER THIS DEBENTURE, THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS DEBENTURE NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN OR THEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS DEBENTURE IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS DEBENTURE MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER.

THE HOLDER OF THIS DEBENTURE, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH DEBENTURE, PRIOR TO THE DATE (THE “RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE”) WHICH IS ONE YEAR AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATION OR ANY AFFILIATE OF MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATION WAS THE OWNER OF THIS DEBENTURE (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF SUCH DEBENTURE) ONLY (A) TO MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATION OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) FOR SO LONG AS THE DEBENTURES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHICH NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (C) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (D) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATION’S AND THE TRUSTEE’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT

TO CLAUSE (D) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM, AND IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, A CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER IN THE FORM APPEARING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS DEBENTURE IS COMPLETED AND DELIVERED BY THE TRANSFEROR TO THE TRUSTEE. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE.

Any Debenture (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to conditions for removal of the foregoing legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of such Debenture for exchange to the Debenture registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new Debenture or Debentures, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(d).

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in the second paragraph of Section 2.05(c) and in this Section 2.05(d)), a Debenture in global form may not be transferred as a whole or in part except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Debentures in global form. Initially, the Global Debenture shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Custodian for Cede & Co.

If at any time the Depositary for a Debenture in global form notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Debenture, the Company may appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Debenture. If a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after the Company receives such notice, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate for the authentication and delivery of Debentures, will authenticate and deliver, Debentures in certificated form, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Debenture in global form, in exchange for such Debenture in global form.

If a Debenture in certificated form is issued in exchange for any portion of a Debenture in global form after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on any record date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the next, succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of such certificated Debenture, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Debenture in global form is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Debentures in certificated form issued in exchange for all or a part of a Debenture in global form pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Debentures in certificated form to the Persons in whose names such Debentures in certificated form are so registered.

At such time as all interests in a Debenture in global form have been redeemed, converted, canceled, exchanged for Debentures in certificated form, or transferred to a transferee who receives Debentures in certificated form thereof, such Debenture in global form shall, upon receipt thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Debenture in global form is exchanged for Debentures in certificated form, redeemed, converted, repurchased or canceled, or transferred to a transferee who receives Debentures in certificated form therefor or any Debenture in certificated form is exchanged or transferred for part of a Debenture in global form, the principal amount of such Debenture in global form shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Debenture in global form, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

(e) Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Debenture shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless such Common Stock has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or such Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of Debentures that have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing with written notice thereof to the transfer agent:

THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION THEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION. EACH PURCHASER OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THESE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER.

THE HOLDER OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, PRIOR TO THE DATE (THE “RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE”) WHICH IS ONE YEAR AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATION OR ANY AFFILIATE OF MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATION WAS THE OWNER OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF SUCH SHARES OF COMMON STOCK) ONLY (A) TO MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATION OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) FOR SO LONG AS THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHICH NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (C) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (D) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATION’S AND THE TRUSTEE’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (D) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM, AND IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, A CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER IN THE FORM APPEARING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE COMPLETED AND DELIVERED BY THE TRANSFEROR TO THE TRUSTEE. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE.

Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for removal of the foregoing legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(e).

(f) Any Debenture or Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Debenture that, prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), is purchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the Company or such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction which results in such Debentures or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being “restricted securities” (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act).

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

Following receipt by the Trustee or such authenticating agent, as the case may be, of satisfactory security or indemnity and evidence, as described in the preceding paragraph, the Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Debenture and make available for delivery such Debenture. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debenture, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Debenture which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption or has been tendered for redemption (and not withdrawn) or is to be converted into Common Stock shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Debenture, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debenture), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any paying agent or conversion agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Debenture issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Debenture is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debentures duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Debentures shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debentures and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.07 Temporary Debentures. Pending the preparation of Debentures in certificated form, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver

temporary Debentures (printed or lithographed). Temporary Debentures shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Debentures in certificated form, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debentures, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Debenture shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Debentures in certificated form. Without unreasonable delay the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Debentures in certificated form (other than in the case of Debentures in global form) and thereupon any or all temporary Debentures (other than any such Debenture in global form) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Debentures an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures in certificated form. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debentures shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Debentures in certificated form authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08 Cancellation of Debentures Paid, Etc. All Debentures surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, conversion, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent or any Debenture registrar or any conversion agent, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it, and no Debentures shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of such canceled Debentures in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Company shall acquire any of the Debentures, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Debentures unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

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

ARTICLE 3.

REDEMPTION OF DEBENTURES

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption by the Company. The Company may not redeem the Debentures at its option at any time prior to March 6, 2011.

(a) At any time and from time to time on or after March 6, 2011, and prior to maturity, the Debentures may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon notice as set forth in Section 3.02, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption:


Period	Redemption Price
Beginning on March 6, 2011 and ending on February 29, 2012	101.79	%
Beginning on March 1, 2012, and ending on February 28, 2013	100.89	%

and 100% on March 1, 2013 and at all times thereafter; provided, however, that if the date fixed for redemption is on a March 1 or September 1, then the interest payable on such date shall be paid to the Debentureholder of record on the preceding February 15 or August 15, respectively.

Section 3.02 Notice of Redemptions; Selection of Debentures. In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Debentures pursuant to Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (which shall be a Business Day) (each such date, a “Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than twenty (20) days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the Redemption Date, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such redemption not fewer than twenty (20) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date to the holders of the Debentures so to be redeemed as a whole or in part at their last addresses as the same appear on the Debenture register; provided, however, that if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice, and written notice of the Debentures to be redeemed, to the Trustee. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Debentureholder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Debenture designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debenture. Concurrently with the mailing of any such notice of redemption, the Company shall issue a press release announcing such redemption, the form and content of which press release shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The failure to issue any such press release or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the redemption notice or any of the proceedings for the redemption of any Debenture called for redemption.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed, the CUSIP number or numbers of the Debentures being redeemed, the Redemption Date, the redemption price at which Debentures are to be redeemed, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debentures, that interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said Redemption Date interest thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. Such notice shall also state the current Conversion Rate and approximate Conversion Price and the date on which the right to convert such Debentures or portions thereof will expire. If fewer than all the Debentures are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall identify the Debentures to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any). In case any Debenture is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender or such Debenture, a new Debenture or Debentures in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 3.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.04(b)) an amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Debentures (or portions thereof) so called for redemption (other than those theretofore surrendered for conversion) at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date it must be received by the Trustee or paying agent, as the case may be, by 10:00 a.m. New York City time on such date. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the redemption price together with accrued interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date. If any Debenture called for redemption is converted pursuant to Article 15 of this Indenture prior to such redemption, any money deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Debenture shall be paid to the Company upon its written request, or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. Whenever any Debentures are to be redeemed, the Company will give the Trustee written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate not fewer than twenty (20) Business Days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date as to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed.

If less than all of the outstanding Debentures are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Debentures or portions thereof of the Global Debenture or the Debentures in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) by lot, on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or by another method in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. If any Debenture selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of such Debenture submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion to be selected for redemption. The Debentures (or portions thereof) so selected shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof, notwithstanding that any such Debenture is submitted for conversion in part before the mailing of the notice of redemption.

Upon any redemption of less than all of the outstanding Debentures, the Company and the Trustee may (but need not), solely for purposes of determining the pro rata allocation among such Debentures as are unconverted and outstanding at the time of redemption, treat as outstanding any Debentures surrendered for conversion during the period of fifteen (15) days next preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption and may (but need not) treat as outstanding any Debenture authenticated and delivered during such period in exchange for the unconverted portion of any Debenture converted in part during such period.

Section 3.03 Payment of Debentures Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Debentures or portion of Debentures with respect to which such notice has been given shall, unless converted into Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such

notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to (but not including) the Redemption Date, and on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Debentures at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the Debentures or portion thereof so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and, after the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Redemption Date, such Debentures shall cease to be convertible and, except as provided in Sections 8.05 and 13.04, to be entitled to any benefit or Debenture under this Indenture, and the holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Debentures except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to (but not including) the Redemption Date. On presentation and surrender of such Debentures at a place of payment in said notice specified, such Debentures or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to (but not including) the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the applicable redemption date is an Interest Payment Date, the payment of interest becoming due on such date shall be payable to the holders of such Debentures registered as such on the relevant Record Date instead of the holders surrendering such Debentures for redemption on such date.

Upon presentation of any Debenture redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture or Debentures, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debentures so presented.

If any Debenture called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and premium, if any, shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Debenture and such Debenture shall remain convertible until the principal and premium, if any, and interest shall have been paid or duly provided for.

Section 3.04 Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption. In connection with any redemption of Debentures, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Debentures by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Debentures by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Debentureholders, on or before the Redemption Date, an amount not less than the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to (but not including) the Redemption Date, of such Debentures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 3, the obligation of the Company to pay the redemption price of such Debentures, together with interest accrued to (but not including) the Redemption Date, shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, a copy of which will be filed with the Trustee prior to the Redemption Date, any Debentures not duly surrendered for conversion by the holders thereof may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such Debentureholders and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 15) surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date (and the right to convert any such Debentures shall be extended through such time), subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. At the direction of the Company, the Trustee shall hold and dispose of any such amount paid to it in the same manner as it would monies deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Debentures. Without the Trustee’s prior written

consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Debentures shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee as set forth in this Indenture.

Section 3.05 Redemption at Option of Debentureholders on Specific Dates.

(a) General. At the option of the Debentureholder, the Debentures shall be purchased by the Company on March 1, 2013, March 1, 2016, or March 1, 2021 (each, a “Purchase Date”), at 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures in cash, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Purchase Date (the “Put Right Purchase Price”), upon:

(i) delivery to the paying agent by the Debentureholder of a written notice of purchase (a “Purchase Notice”), at any time from the opening of business on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days prior to a Purchase Date until the close of business on the Purchase Date stating:

(A) if certificated Debentures have been issued, the certificate number of the Debenture which the Debentureholder will deliver to be purchased, or if no certificated Debentures have been issued, such information as may be required under the applicable procedures of the Depositary and the Indenture;

(B) the portion of the Principal Amount of the Debenture which the Debentureholder will deliver to be purchased, which portion must be in a Principal Amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; and

(C) that such Debenture shall be purchased as of the Purchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Debentures and in this Indenture; and

(ii) delivery of such Debenture to the paying agent for cancellation prior to, on or after the Purchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the paying agent, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Debentureholder of the Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.05 only if the Debenture so delivered to the paying agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Purchase Notice.

(iii) the Company shall purchase from the Debentureholder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.05, a portion of a Debenture if the Principal Amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 if so requested by the Debentureholder. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Debenture also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Debenture.

(iv) any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.05 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Debentureholder promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the time of delivery of the Debenture.

(v) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Debentureholder delivering to the paying agent the Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.05(a)(i) shall have the right to withdraw such Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the paying agent that states:

(A) the Principal Amount of the withdrawn Debentures;

(B) if certificated Debentures have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Debentures (or, if the Debentures are not certificated, the withdrawal notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary and the Indenture); and

The paying agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(b) Company Notice. The Company shall deliver a notice (the “Company Notice”) to Debentureholders (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to such Purchase Date (the “Company Notice Date”). The Company Notice shall be delivered to all Debentureholders at their respective addresses shown in the Register, shall include a form of Purchase Notice to be completed by a Debentureholder and shall include the following information:

(i) the Purchase Price, the Conversion Rate and the approximate Conversion Price applicable on the Company Notice Date;

(ii) that the Purchase Notice must be delivered by each Debentureholder electing to have the Company purchase such Debentureholder’s Debentures (or a portion thereof) as of the Purchase Date to the paying agent;

(iii) the name and address of the paying agent and the conversion agent;

(iv) that Debentures as to which a Purchase Notice has been given by the Debentureholder may be converted pursuant to Article 15 hereof only if the applicable Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(v) that Debenture must be surrendered (by physical delivery at the office of the paying agent in the case of certificated Debentures, or otherwise by book-entry transfer) to the paying agent for cancellation to collect payment;

(vi) that the Purchase Price for any Debenture as to which a Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn will be paid promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the time of surrender of such Debenture as described in (iv);

(vii) the procedures the Debentureholder must follow to exercise rights under this Section 3.05 and a brief description of those rights;

(viii) the conversion rights of the Debentures;

(ix) the procedures for withdrawing a Purchase Notice;

(x) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Purchase Price and interest on Debentures covered by any Purchase Notice will cease to accrue on and after the Purchase Date; and

(xi) the CUSIP number of the Debentures.

(c) Procedure upon Purchase. On or prior to the Purchase Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.04(b)) an amount of money sufficient to pay on the Purchase Date all the Debentures to be purchased on such date at the appropriate repurchase price, together with accrued interest to (but not including) the Purchase Date; provided, however, that if such payment is made on the Purchase Date it must be received by the Trustee or paying agent, as the case may be, by 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on such date. Payment for Debentures surrendered for purchase (and not withdrawn) prior to the Purchase Date will be made promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days) following the Purchase Date by mailing checks for the amount payable to the holders of such Debentures entitled thereto as they shall appear on the registry books of the Company. If the paying agent holds money or securities sufficient to pay the repurchase price of all Debentures to be purchased on such Purchase Date (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, such money or securities have been set aside, segregated and held in trust as provided in Section 5.04(b)) within two (2) Business Days following the Purchase Date, then, on and after such Business Day, the Debentures shall cease to be outstanding, interest shall cease to accrue, whether or not the Debentures are delivered to the paying agent, and all other rights of the Debentureholder under this Indenture and the Debentures shall terminate, except the right to receive the repurchase price thereof upon delivery of the Debentures.

Section 3.06 Repurchase at Option of Debentureholders upon a Fundamental Change.

(13) the CUSIP number of the Debentures.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such Company Fundamental Change Notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, that, in all cases, the text of such Company Fundamental Change Notice shall be prepared by the Company and submitted to the Trustee along with an Officers’ Certificate and written request within 20 days after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change. If any of the Debentures is in the form of a Global Debenture, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the Applicable Procedures relating to the purchase of Global Debentures.

(c) A Debentureholder may exercise its rights specified in Section 3.06(a) upon delivery of a written notice (which shall be in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A under the heading “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice” and which may be delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Debentures, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures) of the exercise of such rights (a “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) to the Company or any paying agent at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law.

(1) The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state: (A) the certificate number (if such Debenture is held other than in global form) of the Debenture which the Debentureholder will deliver to be purchased (or, if the Debenture is held in global form, any other items required to comply with the Applicable Procedures), (B) the portion of the principal amount of the Debenture which the Debentureholder will deliver to be purchased and (C) that such Debenture shall be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Debentures and in this Indenture.

(2) The delivery of a Debenture for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been timely delivered to any paying agent and not validly withdrawn prior to, on or after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of such paying agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Debentureholder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.

(3) The Company shall only be obliged to purchase, pursuant to this Section 3.06, a portion of a Debenture if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 (provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Debenture also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Debenture).

(4) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Debentureholder delivering to a paying agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.06(c) shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in whole or in a portion thereof that is a principal amount of $1,000 or in an integral multiple thereof at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the paying agent in accordance with the same procedures as those set forth in Section 3.05(a)(v).

(5) A paying agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written withdrawal thereof.

(d) The Company will comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act to the extent then applicable in connection with the repurchase rights of the Debentureholders in the event of a Fundamental Change.

Section 3.07 Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

(a) On or before 12:00 p.m.(noon) New York City time on the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a paying agent (or if the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is acting as the paying agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on or after such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date), sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all the Debentures or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

(b) If a paying agent or the Trustee holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any Debenture for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture then, on the Business Day following the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, such Debenture will cease to be outstanding, whether or not the Debenture is delivered to the paying agent or the Trustee, and interest shall cease to accrue, and the rights of the Debentureholder in respect of the Debenture shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price as aforesaid). The Company shall publicly announce the principal amount of Debentures repurchased on or as soon as practicable after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

(c) The paying agent will promptly return to the respective Debentureholders any Debentures with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture.

(d) If a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Record Date and before the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, then interest on the Debentures payable on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date will be payable to the Debentureholders in whose names the Debentures are registered at the close of business on such Record Date.

Section 3.08 Repayment to the Company. To the extent that the aggregate amount of money deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.07 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Debentures or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to repurchase, then promptly after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee or a paying agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess monies to the Company.

ARTICLE 4.

SUBORDINATION OF DEBENTURES

Section 4.01 Agreement of Subordination. The Company covenants and agrees, and each Debentureholder issued hereunder by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all Debentures shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 4, and each Person holding any Debenture, whether upon original issue or upon registration of transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

The payment of the principal of, conversion payments on, interest on or any other amounts due on all Debentures (including, but not limited to, the redemption price with respect to the Debentures called for redemption in accordance with Section 3.02, submitted for purchase in accordance with Section 3.05 or submitted for repurchase in accordance with Section 3.06 or upon conversion of the Debentures in accordance with Article 15, as the case may be, as provided in this Indenture) issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

No provision of this Article 4 shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder.

Section 4.02 Payments to Debentureholders. No payment shall be made with respect to the principal of, interest on or any other amounts due on the Debentures (including, but not limited to, the redemption price with respect to the Debentures to be called for repurchase in accordance with Section 3.02, submitted for purchase in accordance with Section 3.05 or submitted for repurchase in accordance with Section 3.06 or upon conversion of the Debentures in accordance with Article 15, as the case may be, as provided in this Indenture), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section 4.05, if:

(i) a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, rent or other obligations in respect of Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Designated Senior Debt for which there is a period of grace, in the event of such a default that continues beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Designated Senior Debt) (a “Payment Default”); or

(ii) a default, other than a Payment Default, on any Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing that permits holders of, or the trustee or agent on behalf of the holders of, such Designated Senior Debt or a Representative thereof to accelerate its maturity, and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a holder of Designated Senior Debt, a Representative of Designated Senior Debt or the Company (a “Non-Payment Default”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, only one Payment Blockage Notice with respect to the same event of default or any other events of default existing or continuing (whether such events are known or unknown to the Person giving the Payment Blockage Notice) at the time of notice on the same issue of Designated Senior Debt may be given during any period of 360 consecutive days unless the event of default or other events of default have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days. No new payment blockage period may be commenced by the holders of Designated Senior Debt during any period of 360 consecutive days unless all events of default which triggered the preceding Payment Blockage Notice, and any other event of default existing or continuing at the time of such notice, have been waived or cured.

The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Debentures:

(1) in the case of a Payment Default, upon the date on which any such Payment Default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, or

(2) in the case of a Non-Payment Default, the earlier of (a) the date upon which such Non-Payment Default is cured or waived or ceases to exist or (b) 180 days after the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received by the Trustee if the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt has not been accelerated,

in each case unless this Article 4 otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time of such payment or distribution.

Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, or upon any acceleration of the Principal Amount due on the Debentures because of an Event of Default, all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Debt shall first be paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt (and satisfactory to the holders of Designated Senior Debt in the case such Senior Debt includes Designated Senior Debt), or payment thereof in accordance with its terms provided for in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt (and satisfactory to the holders of Designated Senior Debt in the case such Senior Debt includes Designated Senior Debt) before any payment is made on account of the principal of, interest on or any other amounts due on the Debentures (except payments made pursuant to Article 13 from monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant thereto prior to commencement of proceedings for such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization), and upon any such dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company or bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, or upon any acceleration of the Principal Amount due on the Debentures because of an Event of Default, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Debentureholders or the Trustee would be entitled, except for the provisions of this Article 4, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Debentureholders or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt held by such holders, or as otherwise required by law or a court order) or their Representative or Representatives, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt (and satisfactory to the holders of Designated Senior Debt in the case such Senior Debt includes Designated Senior Debt), after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt, before any payment or distribution is made to the Debentureholders or to the Trustee.

For purposes of this Article 4, the words, “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article 4 with respect to the Debentures to the payment of all Senior Debt which may at the time be outstanding provided that (i) the Senior Debt is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of Senior Debt (other than leases which are not assumed by the Company or the new corporation, as the case may be) are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another Person upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article 12 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 4.02 if such other Person shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article 12.

In the event of the acceleration of the Debentures because of an Event of Default, no payment or distribution shall be made to the Trustee or any Debentureholder in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures (including, but not limited to, the redemption price with respect to the Debentures called for redemption in accordance with Section 3.02, submitted for purchase in accordance with Section 3.05 or submitted for repurchase in accordance with Section 3.06 or upon conversion of the Debentures in accordance with Article 15, as the case may be, as provided in this Indenture), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section 4.05, until all Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt (and satisfactory to the holders of Designated Senior Debt in the case such Senior Debt includes Designated Senior Debt) or such acceleration is rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. If payment of the Debentures is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company or the Trustee shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including, without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise), prohibited by the foregoing provisions in this Section 4.02, shall be received by the Trustee or the Debentureholders before all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt (and satisfactory to the holders of Designated Senior Debt in the case such Senior Debt includes Designated Senior Debt), or provision is made for such payment thereof in accordance with its terms in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt (and satisfactory to the holders of Designated Senior Debt in the case such Senior Debt includes Designated Senior Debt), such payment or distribution shall be held by the recipient in trust for the benefit of and shall be immediately paid over or delivered to the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative or Representatives, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt (and satisfactory to the holders of Designated Senior Debt in the case such Senior Debt includes Designated Senior Debt), after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution, or provision therefor, to or for the holders of such Senior Debt.

Nothing in this Section 4.02 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 8.06. This Section 4.02 shall be subject to the further provisions of Section 4.05.

Section 4.03 Subrogation of Debentures. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt, the rights of the Debentureholders shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4 (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to other indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Debentures are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Debentures shall be paid in full, and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to which the Debentureholders or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 4, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4, to or for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt by Debentureholders or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt, and the Debentureholders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt, and no payments or distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Debentureholders pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this Article 4, which would otherwise have been paid to the holders of Senior Debt, shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for the account of the Debentures. It is understood that the provisions of this Article 4 are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Debentureholders, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Debt, on the other hand.

Nothing contained in this Article 4 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Debentures is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, and the Debentureholders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Debentureholders the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Debentureholders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Debenture from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 4 of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 4, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, and the Debentureholders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such bankruptcy, dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 4.

Section 4.04 Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each Debentureholder by the Debentureholder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Debentureholder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 4 and appoints the Trustee to act as the Debentureholder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in the third paragraph of Section 7.02 hereof at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the holders of any Senior Debt or their Representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Debentureholders.

Section 4.05 Notice to Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and to any paying agent of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee or any paying agent in respect of the Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 4 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office from the Company (in the form of an Officers’ Certificate) or a Representative or a holder or holders of Senior Debt, and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if on a date not less than one Business Day prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Debenture) the Trustee shall not have received, with respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 4.05, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to apply monies received to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it on or after such prior date.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 4 to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Trustee to the Debentureholders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Section 13.01, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall not have received written notice at the Corporate Trust Office on or before one Business Day prior to the date such payment is due that such payment is not permitted under Section 4.01 or 4.02.

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Representative or a person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders. The Trustee shall not be required to make any payment or distribution to or on behalf of a holder of Senior Debt pursuant to this Article 4 unless it has received satisfactory evidence as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 4.

Section 4.06 Trustee’s Relation to Senior Debt. The Trustee, in its capacity, shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 4 in respect of any Senior Debt at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in Section 8.13 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 4, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Debt (i) for any failure to make any payments or distributions to such holder or (ii) if it shall pay over or deliver to Debentureholders, the Company or any other Person money in compliance with this Article 4.

Section 4.07 No Impairment of Subordination. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with. Senior Debt may be created, renewed or extended and holders of Senior Debt may exercise any rights under any instrument creating or evidencing such Senior Debt, including, without limitation, any waiver of default thereunder, without any notice to or consent from the Debentureholders or the Trustee. No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal or other change of, or waiver, consent or other action in respect of, any liability or obligation under or in respect of the Senior Debt or any terms or conditions of any instrument creating or evidencing such Senior Debt shall in any way alter or affect any of the provisions of this Article 4 or the subordination of the Debentures provided thereby.

Section 4.08 Certain Conversions Not Deemed Payment. For the purposes of this Article 4 only, (1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of Debentures in accordance with Article 15 shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Debentures or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Debentures, and (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except in satisfaction of fractional shares pursuant to Section 15.03), property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of a Debenture shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Debenture. For the purposes of this Section 4.08, the term “junior securities” means (a) shares of any stock of any class of the Company or (b) securities of the Company that are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Debt that may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Debentures are so subordinated as provided in this Article 4. Nothing contained in this Article 4 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Debentures is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors (other than holders of Senior Debt) and the Debentureholders, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the holder of any Debenture to convert such Debenture in accordance with Article 15.

Section 4.09 Article Applicable to Paying Agents. If at any time any paying agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 4 shall (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such paying agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such paying agent were named in this Article 4 in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that the first paragraph of Section 4.05 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as paying agent.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for the actions or inactions of any other paying agents (including the Company if acting as its own paying agent) and shall have no control of any funds held by such other paying agents.

Section 4.10 Senior Debt Entitled to Rely. The holders of Senior Debt (including, without limitation, Designated Senior Debt) shall have the right to rely upon this Article 4, and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights or such holders unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto.

Section 4.11 Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 4, the Trustee and the Debentureholders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 4.

ARTICLE 5.

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

Section 5.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and premium, if any (including the redemption price upon redemption pursuant to Article 3), and interest on each of the Debentures at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Debentures.

The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency not designated or appointed by the Trustee. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office.

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

The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as paying agent, Debenture registrar, Custodian and conversion agent and the Corporate Trust Office shall be considered as one such office or agency of the Company for each of the aforesaid purposes.

So long as the Trustee is the Debenture registrar, the Trustee agrees to mail, or cause to be mailed, the notices set forth in Section 8.10(a) and the third paragraph of Section 8.11.

(a) If the Company shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee, or if the Trustee shall appoint such a paying agent, the Company will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.04:

(1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Debentures) in trust for the benefit of the Debentureholders;

(3) that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust.

The Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures, deposit with the paying agent a sum (in funds which are immediately available on the due date for such payment) sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action; provided, however, that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit shall be received by the paying agent by 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on such date.

(b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Debentureholders a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor under the Debentures) to make any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures when the same shall become due and payable.

(d) Anything in this Section 5.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 5.04 is subject to Sections 13.03 and 13.04.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for the actions of any other paying agents (including the Company if acting as its own paying agent) and shall have no control of any funds held by such other paying agents.

Section 5.05 Existence. Subject to Article 12, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and rights (charter and statutory); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Debentureholders.

Section 5.06 Maintenance of Properties. The Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Designated Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.06 shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Debentureholders.

Section 5.07 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same may become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Designated Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Designated Subsidiary, (ii) all claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien or charge upon the property of the Company or any Designated Subsidiary and (iii) all stamps and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by the United States or any

political subdivision thereof or therein in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange or conversion of any Debentures or with respect to this Indenture; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim (A) if the failure to do so will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse impact on the Company, or (B) if the amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

Section 5.08 Rule 144A Information Requirement. Within the period prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), the Company covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period in which it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act, make available to any holder or beneficial holder of Debentures or any Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof which continue to be Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of Debentures or such Common Stock designated by such holder or beneficial holder, the information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act upon the request of any Debentureholder or beneficial holder of the Debentures or such Common Stock, and it will take such further action as any holder or beneficial holder of such Debentures or such Common Stock may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder or beneficial holder to sell its Debentures or Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemption provided by Rule 144A, as such Rule may be amended from time to time. Upon the request of any holder or any beneficial holder of the Debentures or such Common Stock, the Company will deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Section 5.09 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.10 Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (which is the end of the calendar year), a certificate signed by either the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signer thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and the status thereof of which the signer may have knowledge.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon becoming aware of (i) any default in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, or (ii) any Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying with particularity such default or Event of Default and further stating what action the Company has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 6.02 Preservation and Disclosure of Lists.

(a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the Debentureholders contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 6.01 or maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Debenture registrar or co-registrar in respect of the Debentures, if so acting.

ARTICLE 7.

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND DEBENTUREHOLDERS

ON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

Section 7.01 Events of Default. In case one or more of the following Events of Default (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) the Company shall fail to pay when due (whether or not such payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions set forth in Article 4 of this Indenture) the principal or any redemption price, Put Right Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any Debenture, when the same becomes due and payable whether or not at the Final Maturity Date, upon redemption, repurchase, acceleration or otherwise; or

(b) the Company shall fail to pay (whether or not such payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions set forth in Article 4 of this Indenture) an installment of cash interest on any of the Debentures, which failure continues for 30 days after the date when due; or

(c) the Company shall fail to deliver when due all cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, deliverable upon conversion of the Debentures (whether or not such payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions set forth in Article 4 of this Indenture), which failure continues for 15 days; or

(d) failure on the part of the Company to timely provide notice of a Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 3.06(b); or

(e) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any other term, convenant or agreement on the part of the Company in the Debentures or in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 7.01 specifically dealt with) for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, or the Company and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee by the holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04; or

(f) a failure to pay when due at maturity or a default that results in the acceleration of maturity of any Indebtedness of the Company and/or of Designated Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount of $30 million or more, unless the acceleration is rescinded, stayed or annulled within thirty (30) days after written notice of default is given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04; or

(g) the commencement of a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or a Designated Subsidiary or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Company or of a Designated Subsidiary or any substantial part of the property of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due;

then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(g)), unless the principal of all of the Debentures shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding hereunder determined in accordance with Section 9.04, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Debentureholders), may declare the principal of and premium, if any, on all the Debentures and the interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Debentures contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(g) occurs, the principal of all the Debentures and the interest accrued thereon shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without necessity of further action. This provision, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Debentures shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all Debentures and the principal of and premium, if any, on any and

all Debentures which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) and on such principal and premium, if any, at the rate borne by the Debentures, to the date of such payment or deposit) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.06, and if any and all defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest on Debentures which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 7.07, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults or Events of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. The Company shall notify a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware thereof, of any Event of Default.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Debentureholders, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Debentureholders, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

Section 7.02 Payments of Debentures on Default; Suit Therefor. The Company covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Debentures as and when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at maturity of the Debentures or in connection with any redemption, by or under this Indenture declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Debentureholders, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Debentures for principal and premium, if any, or interest, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Debentures, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.06. Until such demand by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Debentures to the registered Debentureholders, whether or not the Debentures are overdue.

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

In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Debentures, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Debentures shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Debentures, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Debentureholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.06, and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Debentureholders to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Debentureholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including reasonable counsel fees incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property which the Debentureholders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Debentures, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Debentures, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Debentureholders.

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

SECOND: Subject to the provisions of Article 4, in case the principal of the outstanding Debentures shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on the Debentures in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Debentures, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;

THIRD: Subject to the provisions of Article 4, in case the principal of the outstanding Debentures shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Debentures for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Debentures, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Debentures, then to the payment of such principal and premium, if any, and interest without preference or priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Debenture over any other Debenture, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest; and

FOURTH: Subject to the provisions of Article 4, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.

disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Debentureholder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Debentureholder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Debentureholders (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 7.04, each and every Debentureholders and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Anything in this Indenture or the Debentures to the contrary notwithstanding, the holder of any Debenture, without the consent of either the Trustee or the holder of any other Debenture, in its own behalf and for its own benefit, may enforce, and may institute and maintain any proceeding suitable to enforce, its rights of conversion as provided herein.

Section 7.05 Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 7.06 Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 7 to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Debentureholders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Debentures to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default or Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein, and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, every power and remedy given by this Article 7 or by law to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Debentureholders.

The holders of a majority (more than fifty percent) in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04 shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee;

provided, however, that (a) such direction shall be in writing, (b) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (c) the Trustee may take any other action which is not inconsistent with such direction and (d) the Trustee may decline to take any action that would benefit some Debentureholders to the detriment of other Debentureholders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04 may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Debentures, waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Debentures, (ii) a failure by the Company to convert any Debentures into cash or Common Stock, in accordance with Article 15, (iii) a default in the payment of the redemption price pursuant to Article 3 or (iv) a default in respect of a covenant or provisions hereof which under Article 11 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each or all Debentures then outstanding or affected thereby. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Debentureholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 7.07, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Debentures and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.08 Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of a default, mail to all Debentureholders, as the names and addresses of such Debentureholders appear upon the Debenture register, notice of all defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided, however, that except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Debentures, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Debentureholders.

Section 7.09 Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Debenture by such Debentureholder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 7.09 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Debentureholders, or group of Debentureholders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04, or to any suit instituted by any Debentureholders for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Debenture on or after the due date expressed in such Debenture or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Debenture in accordance with the provisions of Article 15.

ARTICLE 8.

THE TRUSTEE

Section 8.01 Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

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

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

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

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

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

(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the written direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined as provided in Section 9.04 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;

(d) whether or not therein provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.01;

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment (as to the correctness of amount, entitlement to receive or any other matters relating to payment) or notice effected by the Company or any paying agent or any records maintained by any co-registrar with respect to the Debentures; and

(f) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred.

None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Section 8.02 Reliance on Documents, Opinions, Etc. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

(a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

(c) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

(d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Debentureholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Debentureholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

(e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall reasonably determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the relevant books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

(f) in no event shall the Trustee be required to take notice of any default or breach or any Event of Default hereunder, except for Events of Default specified in Section 7.01(a) and 7.01(b) hereof, unless and until the Trustee shall have received from a holder or from the Company express written notice of the circumstances constituting the breach, default or Event of Default and stating that said circumstances constituted a breach, default or Event of Default;

(g) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;

(h) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture;

(i) the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Company with respect to the covenants contained in Article 5;

(j) any permissive right or authority granted to the Trustee shall not be considered as a mandatory duty; and

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

Section 8.03 No Responsibility for Recitals, Etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Debentures (except in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debentures. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Debentures or the proceeds of any Debentures authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 8.04 Trustee, Paying Agents, Conversion Agents or Registrar May Own Debentures. The Trustee, any paying agent, any conversion agent or Debenture registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debentures with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent, conversion agent or Debenture registrar.

Section 8.05 Monies to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.04 and Section 4.02, all monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed in writing from time to time by the Company and the Trustee.

Section 8.06 Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to from time to time in writing between the Company and the Trustee, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (or any officer, director or employee of the Trustee), in any capacity under this Indenture and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, liability, claim or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness or bad faith on the part of the Trustee or such officers, directors, employees and agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or in any other capacity hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section 8.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Debentures upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Debentures. The obligation of the Company under this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

When the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(g) with respect to the Company occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

Section 8.07 Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or both delivered to the Trustee.

Section 8.08 Conflicting Interests of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

Section 8.09 Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or if such Person is a member of a bank holding company system, its bank holding company shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000). If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to

law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 8.10 Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and to the Debentureholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Debentureholders, the resigning Trustee may, upon ten (10) business days’ notice to the Company and the Debentureholders, appoint a successor identified in such notice or may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment or a successor trustee, or, if any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six (6) months may, subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 8.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Debentureholders who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six (6) months; or

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Debentureholders; or

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, any Debentureholders who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee; provided, however, that if no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) days after either the Company or the Debentureholders has removed the Trustee, the Trustee so removed may petition

any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee which shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless, within ten (10) days after notice to the Company of such nomination, the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Debentureholders, or if such Trustee so removed or any Debentureholders fails to act, the Company, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 8.10(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.11.

Section 8.11 Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amount then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property and funds held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of holders of particular Debentures, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.11 unless, at the time of such acceptance, such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 8.08 and be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.09.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.11, the Company (or the former trustee, at the written direction of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Debentureholders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Debenture register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

Section 8.12 Succession by Merger, Etc. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation

succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including any trust created by this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that in the case of any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 8.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 8.09.

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

Section 8.13 Preferential Collection of Claims. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Debentures), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of the claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

Section 8.14 Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the Debentureholders or holders of Senior Debt under this Indenture, including, without limitation, under Article 4 hereof) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

ARTICLE 9.

THE DEBENTUREHOLDERS

Section 9.01 Action by Debentureholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any

instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Debentureholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Debentureholders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Debentureholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 10, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Debentureholders. Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Debentureholders, the Company or the Trustee may fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Debentureholders entitled to take such action. The record date shall be not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.

Section 9.02 Proof of Execution by Debentureholders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02 and 10.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Debentureholders or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Debentures shall be proved by the registry of such Debentures or by a certificate of the Debenture registrar.

The record of any Debentureholders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 10.06.

Section 9.03 Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any paying agent, any conversion agent and any Debenture registrar may deem the Person in whose name such Debenture shall be registered upon the Debenture register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Debenture (whether or not such Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Debenture registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Debenture, for conversion of such Debenture and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any other authenticating agent nor any paying agent nor any conversion agent nor any Debenture registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any Debentureholder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Debenture.

Section 9.04 Company-Owned Debentures Disregarded. In determining whether the Debentureholders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Debentures have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Debentures which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures or any Affiliate of the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided, however, that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action, only Debentures which a Responsible Officer knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Debentures so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 9.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Debentures and that the pledgee is not the Company, any other obligor on the Debentures or any Affiliate of the Company or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the

advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Debentures, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons, and, subject to Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Debentures not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 9.05 Revocation of Consents; Future Debentureholders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 9.01, of the taking of any action by the Debentureholders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Debenture which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debentures the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 9.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debenture. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Debenture shall be conclusive and binding upon such Debentureholder and upon all future holders and owners of such Debenture and of any Debentures issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debenture or any Debenture issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

ARTICLE 10.

(i) to add or modify any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture that the Company deems necessary and advisable and that shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the Debentureholders; or

Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the resolutions of the Board of Directors certified by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary authorizing the execution of any supplemental indenture, the Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer and assignment of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 11.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Debentures at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 11.02.

Section 11.02 Supplemental Indenture with Consent of Debentureholders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 9) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding, the Company, when authorized by the resolutions of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Debentureholders.

(vi) modify the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the redemption of the Debentures in a manner adverse to the Debentureholders;

(vii) except as otherwise permitted or contemplated by Article 12 hereof, change the obligation of the Company to repurchase any Debenture upon the happening of a Fundamental Change in a manner adverse to the Debentureholder;

(viii) impair or adversely affect the right to convert the Debentures subject to the terms set forth herein; or

(ix) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures, the holders of which are required to consent to any modification, amendment or supplemental indenture or to waive any past default, or the percentage of Debentures, the holders of which are required for any other waiver under this Indenture.

Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the resolutions of the Board of Directors certified by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Debentureholders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but snail not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Debentureholders under this Section 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Section 11.03 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11 shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect, provided that this Section 11.03 shall not require such supplemental indenture or the Trustee to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act prior to the time such qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, nor shall it constitute any admission or acknowledgment by any party to such supplemental indenture that any such qualification is required prior to the time such qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Debentureholders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder, subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

Section 11.04 Notation on Debentures. Debentures authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11 may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Debentures so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may, at the Company’s expense, be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent duly appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 16.11) and delivered in exchange for the Debentures then outstanding, upon surrender of such Debentures then outstanding.

Section 11.05 Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to Be Furnished to Trustee. Prior to entering into any supplemental indenture, the Trustee may request an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto complies with the requirements of this Article 11.

Section 13.02 Deposited Monies to Be Held in Trust by Trustee.

Section 13.03 Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all monies then held by any paying agent of the Debentures (other than the Trustee) shall, upon written request of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies.

ARTICLE 15.

CONVERSION OF DEBENTURES

Section 15.01 Conversion Privilege and Conversion Rate.

(a) Subject to the obligation and the right of the Company to pay some or all of the conversion consideration in cash in accordance with Section 15.13, and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 15, at the option of the holder thereof, any Debenture or portion thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount may be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date or such earlier date set forth in this Article 15, unless previously redeemed by the Company or purchased by the Company at the Debentureholder’s option, at the Conversion Rate in effect at such time, determined as hereinafter provided and subject to the adjustments described below, only under the following circumstances:

(1) during any calendar quarter beginning after September 30, 2010, and only during such calendar quarter, if, as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days in the period of the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of such preceding calendar quarter was more than 120% of the Conversion Price on the last day of such preceding calendar quarter (the “Conversion Trigger Price”);

(2) until the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date if the Company elects to redeem the relevant Debenture pursuant to Article 3;

(3) if the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock certain rights (including rights or rights certificates under a shareholders’ rights agreement) or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 45 days of the date of issuance (or, in the case of rights certificates issued under a shareholder rights agreement, within 45 days of the later of the date of issuance and any scheduled redemption date or similar date under such shareholders’ rights agreement), Common Stock at less than the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the day of issuance;

(4) if the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock, assets, debt securities or certain rights to purchase the Company’s securities, which distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the Business Day preceding the declaration date for such distribution;

(5) if a Fundamental Change occurs;

(6) at any time during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date; or

(7) during any five Business Day period after any five consecutive Trading Day period in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, as determined following a request by a Debentureholder in accordance with the procedures described below in Section 15.01(d)(ii), for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock and the then applicable Conversion Rate.

(b) In the case of a distribution contemplated by clauses (3) and (4) of Section 15.01(a), the Company shall notify Debentureholders at least twenty (20) days prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution (the “Distribution Notice”); provided that if the Company distributes rights pursuant to a shareholder rights agreement, it will notify the Debentureholders on the Business Day after the Company is required to give notice generally to its shareholders pursuant to such shareholder rights agreement if such date is less than twenty (20) days prior to the date of such distribution. Once the Company has given the Distribution Notice, Debentureholders may surrender their Debentures for conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the last Business Day preceding the ex-dividend date or the Company’s

announcement that such distribution will not take place. In the event of a distribution contemplated by clauses (3) and (4) of Section 15.01(a), Debentureholders may not convert the Debentures if the Debentureholders will otherwise participate in such distribution without converting their Debentures. The Company will provide written notice to the conversion agent as soon as reasonably practicable of any anticipated or actual event or transaction that will cause or causes the Debentures to become convertible pursuant to clauses (3) or (4) of Section 15.01(a).

(c) In the case of a transaction contemplated by clause (5) of Section 15.01(a), the Company shall notify the Debentureholders and Trustee at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date of any Fundamental Change (“Fundamental Change Effective Date”) or the anticipated effective date of an event that would have been a Change of Control but for the 105% Trading Price Exception that the Company knows or reasonably should know will occur. If the Company does not know, and should not reasonably know, that a Fundamental Change or such other event will occur until a date that is within ten (10) Trading Days before the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date or effective date of such other event, the Company shall notify the Debentureholders and the Trustee promptly after the Company has knowledge of such Fundamental Change or such other event. Debentureholders may surrender Debentures for conversion at any time beginning ten (10) Trading Days before the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date of a Fundamental Change or the anticipated effective date of an event that would have been a Change of Control but for the 105% Trading Price Exception and until the close of business on the last Trading Day preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

(d) (i) For each calendar quarter of the Company, beginning with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2010, the conversion agent, on behalf of the Company, shall determine, on the first Business Day following the last Trading Day of such calendar quarter, whether the Debentures are convertible pursuant to clause (1) of Section 15.01(a), and, if so, will notify the Trustee and the Company in writing.

(ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Debentures and whether the Debentures are convertible pursuant to clause (7) of Section 15.01(a) unless the Company has requested such determination; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Debentureholder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures would be less than 98% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures. At such time, the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Debentures beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures is greater than 98% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate.

(e) The conversion rights pursuant to this Article 15 shall commence on the initial issuance date of the Debentures and expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date, but shall be exercisable only during the time periods specified with respect to each circumstance pursuant to which the Debentures become convertible, subject, in the case of conversion of any Global Debenture, to any Applicable

Procedures. If a Debenture is called for redemption or submitted or presented for purchase pursuant to Article 3, such conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date and on the Business Day immediately preceding the Put Right Purchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Debenture (unless the Company shall fail to make the Redemption Price, Put Right Purchase Price, or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price payment when due in accordance with Article 3, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such failure is cured and such Debenture is redeemed or purchased, as the case may be). If a Debenture is convertible as a result of a Fundamental Change, such conversion right shall commence and terminate as set forth in Section 15.01(c). Debentures in respect of which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or a Put Right Purchase Notice, as the case may be, has been delivered may not be surrendered for conversion pursuant to this Article 15 prior to a valid withdrawal of such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or Put Right Purchase Notice, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of Article 3.

(f) Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Debenture also apply to conversion of a portion of a Debenture.

(g) A Debentureholder is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such Debentureholder has converted its Debentures into Common Stock, and only to the extent such Debentures are deemed to have been converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Article 15.

(h) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 15.01(i) and Section 15.06.

(i) If prior to March 6, 2011, there shall have occurred a Fundamental Change (or an event that would have been a Change of Control but for the existence of the 105% Trading Price Exception), the Company shall pay a “Make Whole Premium” to the Debentureholders who convert their Debentures during the period beginning ten (10) Trading Days before the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date and ending at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by increasing the Conversion Rate for such Debentures. The number of additional shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures constituting the Make Whole Premium shall be determined by the Company by reference to the table below, based on the Fundamental Change Effective Date and the Stock Price (as defined below) of such Fundamental Change; provided that if the Stock Price or Fundamental Change Effective Date are not set forth on the table: (i) if the actual Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Stock Prices on the table or the actual Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Fundamental Change Effective Dates on the table, the Make Whole Premium will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the Make Whole Premiums set forth for the two Stock Prices and the two Fundamental Change Effective Dates on the table based on a 365-day year, as applicable, (ii) if the Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date exceeds $50.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no Make Whole Premium will be paid, and (iii) if the Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date is less than $11.23 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no Make Whole Premium will be paid. If holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in the Fundamental Change, the “Stock Price” shall be the cash amount paid per share

of the Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Change. Otherwise, the “Stock Price” shall be equal to the average Closing Prices of the Common Stock for each of the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding, but not including, the applicable Fundamental Change Effective Date.

Make Whole Premium Upon a Fundamental Change Increase in Applicable Conversion Rate


	Fundamental Change Effective Date
Stock Price on Fundamental Change Effective Date	March 1, 2010	March 6, 2011
$11.23	33.39	0.00
16.00	9.95	0.00
20.00	4.55	0.00
24.00	2.79	0.00
30.00	1.97	0.00
35.00	1.67	0.00
40.00	1.46	0.00
45.00	1.30	0.00
50.00	1.17	0.00

The Stock Prices set forth in the first column of the table above will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Debentures is adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of additional shares set forth in the table above will be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 15.06 hereof, other than as a result of an adjustment of the Conversion Rate by adding the Make Whole Premium as described above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Debenture exceed 89.0471 per $1,000 principal amount, subject to proportional adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in clauses (1) through (4) of Section 15.06(a) hereof.

The additional shares of Common Stock, if any, or cash delivered to satisfy the Company’s obligations to Debentureholders that convert their Debentures in connection with a Fundamental Change or an event that would have been a Change of Control but for the existence of the 105% Trading Price Exception will be delivered upon the later of the settlement date for the conversion and promptly following the Fundamental Change Effective Date or the effective date of such other event.

(j) By delivering the amount of cash and/or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion to the Trustee, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Debentures so converted and its obligation to pay accrued and unpaid interest attributable to the period from the most recent Interest Payment Date through the Conversion Date (which amount will be deemed paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited).

(k) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Debentures shall not become subject to conversion by reason of a merger, consolidation, or other transaction effected with one of the Company’s direct or indirect Subsidiaries for the purpose of changing the Company’s state of incorporation to any other state within the United States or the District of Columbia.

Section 15.02 Conversion Procedures.

(a) To convert a Debenture, a Debentureholder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice on the back of the Debenture and deliver such notice to a Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Debenture to a Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by a Registrar or a Conversion Agent, and (4) pay all transfer or similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 15.04. The date on which the Debentureholder has complied with all of those requirements is the “Conversion Date.” Upon the conversion of a Debenture, the Company will pay the cash and deliver the shares of Common Stock, as applicable, as promptly as practicable after the later of the Conversion Date and the date that all calculations necessary to make such payment and delivery have been made, but in no event later than five Business Days after the later of those dates. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Debentures, conversion notices may be delivered and such Debentures may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.

In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any interest in a Global Debenture, the beneficial holder must complete, or cause to be completed, the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depository’s book-entry conversion program, deliver or cause to be delivered, by book-entry delivery an interest in such Global Debenture, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Trustee or Conversion Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by this Section 15.02 and any transfer or similar taxes, if any, required by Section 15.04. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Debentures, conversion notices may be delivered and such Debentures may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.

(b) The person in whose name the shares of Common Stock are issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to be a holder of record of such Common Stock on the later of (i) the Conversion Date, (ii) the expiration of the period in which the Company may elect to deliver cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) if the Company elects to deliver cash in lieu of some, but not all, of such shares of Common Stock, the date on which the amount of cash issuable per Debenture has been determined; provided, however, that no surrender of a Debenture on any Conversion Date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all

purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; provided further that such conversion shall be at the applicable Conversion Rate as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion of a Debenture, such person shall no longer be a Debentureholder. Except as set forth in this Indenture, no payment or adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions declared or made on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Debenture prior to the issuance of such shares.

(c) Holders of Debentures surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of business on any Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (excluding Debentures or portions thereof called for redemption) will receive the semiannual interest payable on such Debentures on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Upon surrender of any such Debentures for conversion, unless such Debentures are being converted solely pursuant to Section 15.01(a)(2) or Section 15.01(a)(5) (in each case in accordance with the second paragraph of Section 2.03), such Debentures shall also be accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such corresponding Interest Payment Date. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 15.02(c), no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on a converted Debenture.

(d) Subject to Section 15.02(c), nothing in this Section shall affect the right of a Debentureholder in whose name any Debenture is registered at the close of business on a Record Date to receive the interest payable on such Debenture on the related Interest Payment Date in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Debentures. If a Debentureholder converts more than one Debenture at the same time, the amount of cash to be paid and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, if any, (and the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 15.03) shall be based on the aggregate principal amount of all Debentures so converted.

(e) In the case of any Debenture which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Debentureholder thereof, without service charge, a new Debenture or Debentures of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Debenture. A Debenture may be converted in part, but only if the principal amount of such part is an integral multiple of $1,000 and the principal amount of such Debenture to remain outstanding after such conversion is equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(f) Upon the Company’s determination that a Debentureholder is or will be entitled to convert their Debentures into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Article 15, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to post such information on the Company’s website or otherwise publicly disclose such information.

Section 15.03 Fractional Shares. The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Debentures. If more than one Debenture shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Debentureholder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. In lieu of any fractional shares, the Company will pay an amount in cash for the current market value of the fractional shares. The current market value of a fractional share shall be determined (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) by multiplying the average of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock for each of the consecutive Trading Days of the Conversion Reference Period by such fractional share and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.

Section 15.04 Taxes on Conversion. If a Debentureholder converts a Debenture, the Debentureholder shall pay any transfer, stamp or similar taxes or duties related to the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon such conversion. The Debentureholder shall also pay any such tax with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares. In addition, the Debentureholder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Debentureholder requests the shares to be issued in a name other than the Debentureholder’s name. The conversion agent may refuse to deliver the certificate representing the Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Debentureholder’s name until the conversion agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Debentureholder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.

Section 15.05 Company to Provide Stock.

(a) The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Debentures hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Debentures into shares of Common Stock.

(b) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Debentures shall be newly issued shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim as the result of any action by the Company.

(c) The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Debentures.

Section 15.06 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.

(a) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(1) If the Company shall pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to

receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator of shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date plus the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such dividend or distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after such record date. For the purpose of this clause (1), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(2) If the Company shall subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective shall be, in the case of a subdivision of Common Stock, proportionately increased and, in the case of a combination of Common Stock, proportionately reduced. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such subdivision or combination of the Common Stock occurs and shall become effective immediately after the date upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(3) If the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after such issuance) 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 in accordance with clause (9) of this Section 15.06(a)) on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate 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 at the close of business on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock that such rights or warrants entitle holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase (or into which such convertible securities are convertible) and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares 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, 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 record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants (or convertible securities) are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) are not delivered after the

expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that 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 (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. If such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the record date 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 shareholders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock and in determining the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(4) If the Company shall make a dividend or other distribution to all holders of its Common Stock of Capital Stock, other than Common Stock, or evidences of indebtedness or other assets of the Company (excluding (x) any issuance of rights or warrants for which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section 15.06(a)(3), (y) dividends or distributions in connection with a reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, liquidation, dissolution, winding up, sale or conveyance resulting in a change in the conversion consideration, or pursuant to any shareholder rights plan or (z) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section 15.06(a)(6)) (the “Distributed Securities”), then in each such case (unless the Company distributes such Distributed Securities for distribution to the Debentureholderson such dividend or distribution date as if each Debentureholder had converted such Debenture into Common Stock immediately prior to the record date with respect to such distribution) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date and of which the denominator shall be Current Market Price per share on such record date less the fair market value (as 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) on such record date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business 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 that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

If the fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed 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 Debentureholder shall have the right

to receive upon conversion the amount of Distributed Securities so distributed that such Debentureholder would have received had such Debentureholder converted each Debenture on such record date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.06(a)(4) 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the securities distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock consist of Capital Stock of, or similar equity interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (the “Spinoff Securities”), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, unless the Company makes an equivalent distribution to the Debentureholders, so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the applicable Conversion Rate in effect on and after the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the average Closing Price of one share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spinoff Valuation Period”) commencing on and including the fifth (5^th) Trading Day after the date on which ex-dividend trading commences for such distribution on the Nasdaq Stock Market or such other U.S. national or regional exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted and (B) the average of the Closing Prices over the Spinoff Valuation Period of the Spinoff Securities multiplied by the number of Spinoff Securities distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the average Closing Price of one share of Common Stock over the Spinoff Valuation Period, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the fifteenth (15^th) Trading Day after the date on which ex-dividend trading commences; provided, however, that the Company may in lieu of the foregoing adjustment elect to make adequate provision so that each Debentureholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion thereof the amount of such Spinoff Securities that such Debentureholder would have received if such Debentures had been converted on the record date with respect to such distribution.

(5) With respect to any rights, rights certificates or warrants (the “Rights”) that may be issued or distributed pursuant to any rights plan (including any rights plan that the Company implements after the date of this Indenture, a “Rights Plan”), in lieu of any adjustment required by any other provision of this Section 15.06, upon conversion of the Debentures into Common Stock, to the extent that such Rights Plan is in effect upon such conversion, the Debentureholder will receive, with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion, 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 and in accordance with any such Rights Plan; provided that if, at the time of conversion, however, the Rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Rights Plan so that Debentureholders would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures as a result of the timing of the Conversion Date, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted as if the Company distributed to all holders of Common Stock Distributed Securities as provided in the first paragraph of clause (4) of this Section 15.06(a), subject to appropriate readjustment in the event of the invalidation, termination, repurchase or redemption of the Rights. Any distribution of rights,

rights certificates 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, rights certificates or warrants pursuant to this Section 15.06(a). Other than as specified in this clause (5) of this Section 15.06(a), there will not be any adjustment to the Conversion Rate as the result of the issuance of any Rights, the distribution of separate certificates representing such Rights, the exercise or redemption of such Rights in accordance with any Rights Plan or the termination or invalidation of any Rights.

(6) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a “Triggering Distribution”) to all holders of its Common Stock a payment consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary) the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying such Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such Triggering Distribution (a “Determination Date”) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date less the amount of such cash dividend or distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Determination Date), such increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date on which the Triggering Distribution is paid. If the amount of cash dividend or distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Debentureholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash so distributed that such Debentureholder would have received had such Debentureholder converted each Debenture on such Determination Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such divided or distribution had not been declared.

(7) If any tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of Common Stock shall expire, then, if the tender offer shall require the payment to shareholders of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (determined as provided below) that exceeds the average of the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding 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”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of (A) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (the fair market value as 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) payable to shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of all shares validly tendered 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 (B) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the

Company) at the Expiration Time and the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date and the denominator of which shall be the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including Purchased Shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Date. 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 Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would have been in effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased, if any. If the application of this clause (7) of Section 15.06(a) to any tender offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this clause (7).

(8) For purposes of this Section 15.06, the 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.

(9) For purposes of any computation under this Section 15.06, “Current Market Price” shall mean the average of the daily Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for each of the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in question; provided, however, that if

(A) the “ex” date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 15.06(a) (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) or (7) occurs during such ten (10) consecutive Trading Days, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by dividing such Closing Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event;

(B) the “ex” date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 15.06(a) (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) or (7) occurs on or after the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by dividing such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event; and

(C) the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation is prior to the day in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (A) or (B) of this Section 15.06(a)(9), the Closing Price for each Trading Day on or after such “ex” date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of

Section 15.06(a)(4) or (7), whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock or assets being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the day before such “ex” date.

For purposes of any computation under Section 15.06(a)(7), if the “ex” date for any event (other than the tender offer that is the subject of the adjustment pursuant to Section 15.06(a)(7)) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 15.06(a)(1), (2), (3), (4), (5) or (6) occurs on the date of the Expiration Time for the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation or on the Trading Day next following the Expiration Time, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by dividing such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this Section 15.06(a)(9) the term “ex” date, when used:

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

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Rate are called for pursuant to this Section 15.06, such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 15.06 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(b) In any case in which this Section 15.06 shall require that an adjustment be made following a record date, a Determination Date or Expiration Date, as the case may be, established for the purposes specified in this Section 15.06, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five (5) Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 15.08) issuing to any Debentureholder converted after such record date, Determination Date or Expiration 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 (or other cash, property or securities, as applicable) issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Rate prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of any cash, property or securities the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence prepared by the Company of the right to receive such cash, property or securities. If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required to be made as of the record date, Determination Date or Expiration Date therefore is not thereafter made or

paid by the Company for any reason, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or such record date, Determination Date or Expiration Date had not occurred.

(c) For purposes of this Section 15.06, “record date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash, security or other property (whether or not such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

(d) If one or more event occurs requiring an adjustment be made to the Conversion Rate for a particular period, adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors to reflect the combined impact of such Conversion Rate adjustment events, as set out in this Section 15.06, during such period.

Section 15.07 No Adjustment.

(a) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required if Debentureholders may participate in the transactions set forth in Section 15.06 above (to the same extent as if the Debentures had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such transactions) without converting the Debentures held by such Debentureholders.

(b) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required for issuances of Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest or for a change in the par value or a change to no par value of the Common Stock.

(c) To the extent that the Debentures become convertible into the right to receive cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash.

Section 15.08 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Rate or conversion privilege is required to be adjusted pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall promptly mail to Debentureholders a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment. Unless and until the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate setting forth an adjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that the Conversion Rate has not been adjusted and that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge remains in effect.

Section 15.09 Notice of Certain Transactions. In the event that there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Company shall mail to Debentureholders and file with the Trustee a notice stating the proposed effective date. The Company shall mail such notice at least ten (10) days before such proposed effective date. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in this Section 15.09.

Section 15.10 Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of following events occur (each, a “Business Combination”):

(1) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock, other than changes resulting from a subdivision or a combination;

(2) a consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company;

(3) a sale, conveyance or lease to another corporation of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, other than one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries; or

(4) any statutory share exchange,

in each case as a result of which holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that the Debentureholders then outstanding will be entitled thereafter to convert such Debentures into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) which they would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Business Combination had such Debentures been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such Business Combination, except that such Debentureholders will not receive the Make Whole Premium if such Debentureholder does not convert its Debentures “in connection with” the relevant Fundamental Change. A conversion of the Debentures by a Debentureholder will be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Fundamental Change if the notice of such conversion is provided in compliance with Section 15.02(a) to the conversion agent on or subsequent to the date ten (10) Trading Days prior to the date announced by the Company as the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date but before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. In the event holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such Business Combination, the Company shall make adequate provision whereby the Debentureholders shall have a reasonable opportunity to determine the form of consideration into which all of the Debentures, treated as a single class, shall be convertible from and after the effective date of such Business Combination. Such determination shall be (i) based on the weighted average of elections made by Debentureholders who participate in such determination, (ii) subject to any limitations to which all of the holders of the Common Stock are subject, such as pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in such Business Combination and (iii) conducted in such a manner as to be completed by the date which is the earliest of (a) the deadline for elections to be made by shareholders of the Company, and (b) two (2) Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the Business Combination. The Company shall provide notice of the opportunity to determine the form of such consideration, as well as notice of the determination made by Debentureholders (and the weighted average of elections), by posting such notice with DTC and providing a copy of such notice to the Trustee. In the event the effective date of the Business Combination is delayed beyond the initially anticipated effective date, Debentureholders shall be given the opportunity to make subsequent similar determinations in regard to such delayed effective date. The Company may not become a

party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with this Section 15.10. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 15. If, in the case of any such Business Combination, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Business Combination, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Debentureholders as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth in Section 3.06 hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section, and for the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall not affect the right of a Debentureholder to convert its Debentures into shares of Common Stock prior to the effective date of the Business Combination.

Section 15.11 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

(a) The Trustee shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 15 should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, including the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 15.08. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Debentures, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with any provisions of this Article 15.

(b) The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 15.10, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 16.05.

(c) The Company is responsible for all calculations under this Indenture and the Debentures, including the determination of the Conversion Price, the current market price of the Common Stock and adjustments to the Conversion Rate. The Company shall make all such calculations in good faith and, in the absence of manifest error, such calculations shall be final and binding on all holders. The Company shall provide a copy of such calculations to the Trustee and the conversion agent, as required hereunder, and the Trustee and the conversion agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy of any such calculation without independent verification.

Section 15.12 Voluntary Increase . The Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate, to the extent permitted by law, by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least twenty (20) days, and the Company provides fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to any increase in the Conversion Rate to the Trustee and Debentureholders. The Company may also make such an increase to the Conversion Rate as the Board of Directors determines would avoid or diminish income tax to holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Debenture exceed 89.0471 per $1,000 principal amount, other than on account of proportional adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in clauses (1) through (4) of Section 15.06(a) hereof.

Section 15.13 Payment of Cash in Lieu of Common Stock.

(a) In lieu of delivery of some or all of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon notice of conversion of any Debentures, Debentureholders surrendering Debentures for conversion shall receive for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures surrendered for conversion: (A) cash in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) $1,000 and (2) the Conversion Value; and (B) if the Conversion Value is greater than $1,000, a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the sum of the Daily Share Amounts for each of the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days in the Conversion Reference Period (appropriately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events occurring during the Conversion Reference Period) , subject to the Company’s right to deliver cash in lieu of all or a portion of such shares as set forth in Section 15.13(b). The Company will deliver such cash and any shares of Common Stock, together with any cash payable for fractional shares, to such Debentureholder in accordance with Section 15.03.

(b) The Company may elect to pay cash to the Debentureholders surrendered for conversion in lieu of all or a portion of the Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to Section 15.13(a). In such event, on any day prior to the first Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Reference Period, the Company shall specify a percentage of the Daily Share Amount that shall be settled in cash (the “Cash Percentage”) and the amount of cash that the Company shall pay in respect of each Trading Day in the applicable Conversion Reference Period will equal the product of: (1) the Cash Percentage, (2) the Daily Share Amount for such Trading Day and (3) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock for such Trading Day (provided that after the consummation of a Fundamental Change in which the consideration is comprised entirely of cash, the amount used in this clause (3) shall be the cash price per share received by holders of the Common Stock in such Fundamental Change). The number of shares that the Company shall deliver in respect of each Trading Day in the applicable Conversion Reference Period will be a percentage of the Daily Share Amount equal to 100% minus the Cash Percentage. Upon making a determination that a percentage of the Daily Share Amount will be settled in cash, the Company shall promptly disclose such information on its website prior to the first Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Reference Period. If the Company does not specify a Cash Percentage by the start of the applicable Conversion Reference Period, the Company shall settle 100% of the Daily Share Amount for each Trading Day in the

applicable Conversion Reference Period with shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable upon conversion of Debentures.

For the purposes of Sections 15.13(a) and (b), in the event that any of Conversion Value, Daily Share Amounts or Volume Weighted Average Price is not calculable for all portions of the Conversion Reference Period, the Company’s Board of Directors shall in good faith determine the values necessary to calculate the Conversion Value, Daily Share Amounts and Volume Weighted Average Price, as applicable.

FORM OF REVERSE OF DEBENTURE

MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATION

6.25% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE DUE 2026

This Debenture is one of a duly authorized issue of Debentures of the Company, designated as its 6.25% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2026 (herein called the “Debentures”) all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of July 27, 2010 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Debentureholders.

In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Debentures may be declared due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Debentureholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the written consent of each Debentureholder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 7.07 of the Indenture, may not: (i) change the fixed maturity of any Debenture; (ii) reduce the rate or change the time of payment of interest on any Debenture; (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Debenture or premium, if any, payable thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repurchase thereof in accordance with Article 3 of the Indenture; (iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to, or the conversion of any Debenture; (v) make the principal of any Debenture or interest or premium, if any, on any Debenture payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the Debentures; (vi) modify the provisions of the Indenture with respect to the redemption of the Debentures in a manner adverse to the Debentureholders; (vii) except as otherwise permitted or contemplated by Article 12 of the Indenture, change the obligation of the Company to repurchase any Debenture upon the happening of a Fundamental Change in a manner adverse to the Debentureholders; (viii) impair or adversely affect the right to convert the Debentures subject to the terms set forth in the Indenture; or (ix) reduce the percentage of Debentures, the Debentureholders of which are required to consent to any modification, amendment or supplemental indenture or to waive any past default, or the percentage of Debentures, the Debentureholders of which are required for any other waiver under the Indenture. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Debentures, waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences except a default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Debentures, or a failure by the Company to convert any Debentures into Common Stock, or a default in the payment of the redemption price pursuant to Article 3 of the Indenture, or a default in respect of a covenant or provisions of the Indenture which under Article 11 of the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of

A-7

each or all Debentures then outstanding or affected thereby. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Debenture (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Debenture and any Debentures which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Debenture or such other Debentures.

The payment of the principal of, conversion payment on, interest on or any other amounts due on this Debenture is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, whether outstanding at the date of the Indenture or thereafter incurred, and this Debenture is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect to such subordination. Each holder of this Debenture, by accepting the same, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions and authorizes the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

Nothing contained in the Debentures or in the Indenture is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, and the Debentureholders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Debentureholders the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Debentureholders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Debenture from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under the Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under Article 4 of the Indenture of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

Interest on the Debentures shall be calculated using a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.

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

The Debentures will not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to March 6, 2011. At any time and from time to time on or after March 6, 2011, and prior to maturity, the Debentures may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 20 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to the Debentureholders at their last registered addresses, all as provided in the Indenture, at the following optional redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date:


Period	Redemption Price
Beginning on March 6, 2011 and ending on February 29, 2012	101.79	%
Beginning on March 1, 2012 and ending on February 28, 2013	100.89	%

A-8

and 100% on March 1, 2013, and at any time thereafter; provided, however, that, with the sole of exception of March 6, 2011, if the Redemption Date is on a March 1 or September 1, then the interest payable on such date shall be paid to the holder of record on the preceding February 15 or August 15, respectively. Debentures or portions of Debentures called for redemption will be convertible until the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date.

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

On March 1, 2013, March 1, 2016, or March 1, 2021, the Debentureholders shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase at such holder’s option all of such holders’ Debentures, or any portion thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount, on the Purchase Date (as defined in the Indenture) in cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to, but not including, the Purchase Date. The Company shall mail to all holders of record of the Debentures a notice of an upcoming Purchase Date not less than 20 Business Days prior to the Purchase Date. For a Debenture to be so repurchased at the option of the Debentureholder, the Debentureholder must deliver to the Paying agent the Purchase Notice (as defined in the Indenture) at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to the Purchase Date until the close of business on the Purchase Date. Debentureholders may withdraw a Purchase Notice by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the paying agent in accordance with the terms of the Indenture at any time prior to the close of business on the Purchase Date. The repurchase of Debentures pursuant to this paragraph is subject to the further conditions set forth in the Indenture.

At the option of the Debentureholder and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase for cash, subject to certain exceptions described in the Indenture, all or any part specified by the Debentureholder (so long as the principal amount of such part is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of the Debentures held by such Debentureholder on a date specified by the Company that is not less than 30 nor more than 45 days after the date of the Company Fundamental Change Notice, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Debentureholder shall have the right to withdraw any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (in whole or in a portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the paying agent in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture and upon the occurrence of the events specified in the Indenture, a Debentureholder may surrender for conversion any Debenture that is $1,000 principal amount or integral multiples thereof. In lieu of receiving shares of the Common Stock, a Debentureholder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures surrendered for conversion:

•

cash in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) $1,000 and (2) the Conversion Value; and

A-9

•

if the Conversion Value is greater than $1,000, a number of shares of the Common Stock, equal to the sum of the Daily Share Amounts for each of the ten consecutive Trading Days in the Conversion Reference Period (appropriately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events occurring during the Conversion Reference Period), subject to the Company’s right to deliver cash in lieu of all or a portion of such shares as described in the Indenture.

Any Debentures called for redemption, unless surrendered for conversion by the holders thereof on or before the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Redemption Date, may be deemed to be redeemed from the holders of such Debentures for an amount equal to the applicable redemption price, together with accrued but unpaid interest to (but not including) the Redemption Date, by one or more investment banks or other purchasers who may agree with the Company (i) to purchase such Debentures from the holders thereof and convert them into shares of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) to make payment for such Debentures as aforesaid to the Trustee in trust for the holders.

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Debenture at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, a new Debenture or Debentures of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange thereof; subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any paying agent, any conversion agent and any Debenture registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Debenture (whether or not this Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company or any Debenture registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, for the conversion hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any other authenticating agent nor any paying agent nor any conversion agent nor any Debenture registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon this Debenture.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our proposed purchase of 6.25% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2026 (the “Debentures”) of Mentor Graphics Corporation, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”) we confirm that:

(i) we are an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2) or (3) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2) or (3) under the Securities Act (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”);

(ii) (A) any purchase of Debentures by us will be for our own account or for the account of one or more other Institutional Accredited Investors or as fiduciary for the account of one or more trusts, each of which is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 (a)(7) under the Securities Act and for each of which we exercise sole investment discretion or (B) we are a “bank,” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act, or a “savings and loan association” or other institution described in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the Securities Act that is acquiring Debentures as fiduciary for the account of one or more institutions for which we exercise sole investment discretion;

(iii) the event that we purchase any Debentures, we will acquire Debentures having a minimum purchase price of not less than $100,000 for our own account or for any separate account for which we are acting;

(iv) we have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that we are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing Debentures; and

(v) we are not acquiring Debentures with a view to distribution thereof or with any present intention of offering or selling Debentures or the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion thereof, except as permitted below; provided that the disposition of our property and property of any accounts for which we are acting as fiduciary shall remain at all times within our control.

We understand that the Debentures are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Debentures and the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act, and we agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of each account for which we acquire any Debentures, that if in the future we decide to resell or otherwise transfer such Debentures or the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion thereof, such Debentures or Common Stock of the Company may be resold or otherwise transferred only (i) to the Company or any subsidiary thereof, (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (iii) pursuant to exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act; (iv) to an institutional investor that is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act (if available), or (v) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, and in each case, in accordance with any applicable securities law of any state of the United States and in accordance with the legends set forth on the Debentures or the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion thereof. We further agree to provide any person purchasing any of the Debentures or the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion thereof (other than pursuant to clause (iii) or (v) above) from us a notice advising such purchaser that resales of such securities are restricted as stated herein. We understand that the Trustee and transfer agent for the Debentures and the Common Stock of the Company will not be required to accept for registration of transfer any Debentures or any Common Stock of the Company issued upon conversion of the Debentures, except upon presentation of evidence satisfactory to the Company that the foregoing restrictions on transfer have been complied with. We further understand that any Debentures and any Common Stock of the Company issued upon conversion of the Debentures will be in the form of definitive physical certificates and that such certificates will bear a legend reflecting the substance of this paragraph other than certificates transferred pursuant to (iii) or (v) above.

The Company and the Trustee and their respective counsel are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
