on the Original Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount of
$500,000,000 upon a Company Order for the authentication and

aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be outstanding shall
not exceed $575,000,000, subject to Section 301 of the Base
Indenture as amended by Section 9.02(b)(ii) of this Fifth
Supplemental Indenture.
Section 2.03 Stated Maturity. The Stated Maturity of the Notes
shall be October 15, 2033 (the "Maturity Date"). The principal
amount of the Notes shall be payable on the Maturity Date unless
the Notes are earlier redeemed, purchased or converted in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
Section 2.04 Interest and Interest Rates.
(a) The Notes shall bear interest at a rate of 3.375% per year,
from October 10, 2003 (the "Original Issue Date") or from the
most recent Interest Payment Date to which payment has been made
or duly provided for, payable semiannually in arrears on April 15
and October 15 of each year, beginning April 15, 2004 (each an
"Interest Payment Date") to the persons in whose names the Notes
are registered at the close of business on the April 1 and
October 1 (each a "Regular Record Date") (whether or not a
Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding such
Interest Payment Date.
(b) Holders of Notes at the close of business on a Regular
Record Date will receive payment of interest payable on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the
conversion of such Notes at any time after the close of business
on such Regular Record Date. Notes surrendered for conversion by
a Holder during the period from the close of business on any
Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the immediately
following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of
an amount equal to the interest that the Holder is to receive on
the Notes; provided, however, that no such payment need be made
if (1) the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after
a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the immediately
following Interest Payment Date, (2) the Company has specified a
Purchase Date following a Fundamental Change that is during such
period or (3) any overdue interest exists at the time of
conversion with respect to such Notes to the extent of such
overdue interest. The Holders of the Notes and any Common Stock
issuable upon conversion thereof will continue to be entitled to
receive Additional Amounts in accordance with the Registration
Rights Agreement.
(c) Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided
for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such
Regular Record Date and shall either (i) be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Special Record Date
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes
not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or (ii)
be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or traded, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated
quotation system, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
(d) The amount of interest payable for any period shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-
day months. The amount of interest payable for any partial
period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of an
incomplete month, the actual number of days elapsed. In the
event that any date on which interest is payable on a Note is not
a Business Day, then a payment of the interest payable on such
date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business
Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any
such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date
the payment was originally payable.
(e) If any principal of the Notes or any portion of such
principal is not paid when due (whether upon acceleration, upon
the date set for payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to
paragraph 5 of the Notes, upon the date set for payment of a
Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price pursuant to
paragraph 7 of the Notes or upon the Stated Maturity) or if
interest due on the Notes or any portion of such interest is not
paid when due in accordance with paragraph 1 or paragraph 9 of
the Notes, then in each such case the overdue amount shall bear
interest at the rate of 3.375% per annum, compounded semiannually
(to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable), which interest shall accrue from the date such
overdue amount was due to the date payment of such amount,
including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for.
All such interest shall be payable on demand.
(f) The interest rate borne by the Registrable Securities will
be increased by .25% per annum upon the occurrence of a
Registration Default, which rate will increase by an additional
..25% per annum if such Registration Default has not been cured
within 90 days after the occurrence thereof ("Additional
Amounts"); provided that the aggregate amount of any such
increase in the interest rate on the Registrable Securities shall
in no event exceed .50% per annum. All accrued Additional
Amounts shall be paid to Holders of Registrable Securities in the
same manner and at the same time as regular payments of interest
on the Registrable Securities. Following the cure of all
Registration Defaults, the accrual of Additional Amounts shall
cease and the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will
revert to 3.375% per annum.
Section 2.05 Paying Agent and Conversion Agent; Place of
Payment. The Trustee shall initially serve as the Paying Agent
and Conversion Agent for the Notes. The Company may appoint and
change any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent or approve a change
in the office through which any Paying Agent acts without notice,

Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent

definitive, fully registered, book-entry form, without interest
coupons (collectively, the "Global Notes").
(b) Each of the Global Notes shall represent such of the Notes
as shall be specified therein and shall each provide that it
shall represent the aggregate principal amount of Notes from time
to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount
of Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or
increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions,
purchases or conversions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to
reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the aggregate
principal amount, of Notes represented thereby shall be reflected
by the Trustee on Schedule A attached to the Note and made by the
Trustee in accordance with written instructions or such other
written form of customary instructions from the Depositary or its
nominee.
(c) The Depository Trust Company shall initially serve as
Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. Such Global Notes

matters set forth in Section 1104 of the Base Indenture, a notice
of redemption sent to Holders of Notes shall state:
(a) the then current Conversion Rate;
(b) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion
Agent;
(c) that the Notes called for redemption may be converted at any
time before the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Redemption Date; and
(d) that Holders who wish to convert Notes must comply with the
procedures in paragraph 8 of the Notes.
Section 3.05 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of

Upon presentation and surrender to the Paying Agent, Notes called
for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price as defined

the aggregate Redemption Price of all the Notes to be redeemed on
that date other than the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption which on or prior thereto have been delivered by the
Company to the Security Registrar for cancellation or have been
converted. The Trustee and Paying Agent shall, as promptly as
practicable, return to the Company any money not required for
that purpose because of conversion of the Notes in accordance
with the provisions of Article VII hereof. If such money is then
held by the Company or a Subsidiary in trust and is not required
for such purpose, it shall be discharged from such trust.
ARTICLE IV
Purchase Upon a Fundamental Change
Section 4.01 Purchase at the Option of the Holder upon a
Fundamental Change. If a Fundamental Change shall occur at any
time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the
right, at such Holder's option, to require the Company to
purchase all or any portion of such Holder's Notes for cash on a
date specified by the Company that is no later than 35 days after
the date of the Company Notice of the occurrence of such
Fundamental Change (subject to extension to comply with
applicable law, as provided in Section 6.04) (the "Fundamental
Change Purchase Date"). The Notes shall be repurchased in
integral multiples of $1,000 of the principal amount. The
Company shall purchase such Notes at a price (the "Fundamental
Change Purchase Price") equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest,
including Additional Amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the
Fundamental Change Purchase Date. No Notes may be purchased at
the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if there has
occurred and is continuing an Event of Default (other than an
Event of Default that is cured by the payment of the Fundamental
Change Purchase Price of the Notes).
Section 4.02 Notice of Fundamental Change. The Company, or at
its request (which must be received by the Paying Agent at least
three Business Days (or such lesser period as agreed to by the
Paying Agent) prior to the date the Paying Agent is requested to
give such notice as described below), the Paying Agent in the
name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail to all
Holders and the Trustee a Company Notice of the occurrence of a
Fundamental Change and of the purchase right arising as a result
thereof, including the information required by Section 6.01
hereof, on or before the 30th day after the occurrence of such
Fundamental Change.
Section 4.03 Exercise of Option. For a Note to be so purchased
at the option of the Holder, the Paying Agent must receive such
Note duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written notice
of purchase (a "Fundamental Change Purchase Notice") and the form
entitled "Form of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice" on the
reverse thereof duly completed, on or before the 35th day after
the date of the Company Notice of the occurrence of such
Fundamental Change, subject to extension to comply with
applicable law. The Fundamental Change Purchase Notice shall
state:
(a) if certificated, the certificate numbers of the Notes which
the Holder shall deliver to be purchased, or, if not
certificated, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice must comply
with appropriate Depositary procedures;
(b) the portion of the principal amount of the Notes which the
Holder shall deliver to be purchased, which portion must be
$1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof; and
(c) that such Notes shall be purchased as of the Fundamental
Change Purchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions
specified in paragraph 7 of the Notes and in this Supplemental
Indenture.
Section 4.04 Procedures. The Company shall purchase from a
Holder, pursuant to Article IV hereof, Notes if the principal
amount of such Notes is $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000 if so
requested by such Holder.
Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the
provisions of Article IV hereof shall be consummated by the
delivery of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price to be
received by the Holder promptly following the later of the
Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the time of book-entry
transfer or delivery of the Notes.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any
Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change
Purchase Notice contemplated by Section 4.03 shall have the
right at any time prior to the close of business on the
Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date to
withdraw such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice (in whole or
in part) by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the
Paying Agent in accordance with Section 6.02.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of
the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice
or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
On or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or an Affiliate of
the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate
and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the aggregate
Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Notes to be
purchased pursuant to Article IV hereof. Payment by the
Paying Agent of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for
such Notes shall be made promptly following the later of the
Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the time of book-entry
transfer or delivery of such Notes. If the Paying Agent
holds, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, money
sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of
such Notes on the Business Day following the Fundamental
Change Purchase Date, then, on and after such date, such
Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest (including
Additional Amounts, if any) on such Notes shall cease to
accrue, whether or not book-entry transfer of such Notes is
made or such Notes are delivered to the Paying Agent, and all
other rights of the Holder shall terminate (other than the
right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon
delivery or transfer of the Notes). Nothing herein shall
preclude any withholding tax required by law.
The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than
the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall
hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all
money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price and shall notify the
Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such
payment. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts
as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as
Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The
Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to deliver all
money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds
disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying
Agent shall have no further liability for the cash delivered
to the Trustee.
All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including
time of receipt) and acceptance of any Notes for purchase
shall be determined by the Company, whose determination shall
be final and binding.

receipt by it of any Purchase Notice or written notice of
withdrawal thereof.
(f) On or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Purchase

pursuant to this Section 5.01. Payment by the Paying Agent of
the Purchase Price for such Notes shall be made promptly

(including Additional Amounts, if any) on such Notes shall cease

such payment. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts
as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as
Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company
at any time may require a Paying Agent to deliver all money held
by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by
the Paying Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no
further liability for the cash delivered to the Trustee.
(h) All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including
time of receipt) and acceptance of any Notes for purchase shall
be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final.

or, if not certificated, the written notice of withdrawal must

There shall be no purchase of any Notes pursuant to
Article IV or Article V hereof if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing (other than a default that is
cured by the payment of the Purchase Price or Fundamental
Change Purchase Price, as the case may be). The Paying Agent
shall promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any
Notes (x) with respect to which a Purchase Notice or
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as the case may be, has
been withdrawn in compliance with this Supplemental
Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance of an
Event of Default (other than a default that is cured by the
payment of the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase
Price, as the case may be) in which case, upon such return,
the Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice
with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
Section 6.03 Notes Purchased in Part. Any Notes that are to be
purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the
Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder

Section 6.04 Covenant to Comply with Securities Laws upon
Purchase of Notes. In connection with any offer to purchase

Paying Agent shall return to the Company any cash or property
that remains unclaimed as provided in paragraph 12 of the Notes,
together with interest that the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the
case may be, has agreed to pay, if any, held by them for the
payment of a Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price,
as the case may be; provided, however, that to the extent that
the aggregate amount of cash or property deposited by the Company
pursuant to Section 4.04 or 5.01(f), as applicable, exceeds the
aggregate Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as
the case may be, of the Notes or portions thereof which the
Company is obligated to purchase as of the Purchase Date or
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be, then
promptly on and after the Business Day following the Purchase
Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be, the
Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return any such excess to the
Company together with interest that the Trustee or Paying Agent,
as the case may be, has agreed to pay, if any.
Section 6.06 Officers' Certificate. At least five Business

(b) whether the Company desires the Trustee to give the Company
Notice to the Holders required by Section 6.01 herein.
ARTICLE VII
Conversion of Notes
Section 7.01 Right to Convert. A Holder may convert its Notes
for Common Stock, in whole or in part, at any time during which
the conditions stated in paragraph 8 of the Notes are met. The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a
Note per $1,000 principal amount (the "Conversion Rate") shall be
that set forth in paragraph 8 in the Notes, subject to adjustment
as herein set forth. The initial Conversion Rate is 32.2373
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Convertible
Note per $1,000 principal amount.
A Holder may convert a portion of the principal amount
of Notes if the portion is $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000.
Section 7.02 Conversion Procedures. To convert Notes, a Holder
must satisfy the requirements in this Section 7.02 and in
paragraph 8 of the Notes. The date on which the Holder satisfies
all those requirements is the conversion date (the "Conversion
Date"). As soon as practicable, but in no event later than the
fifth Business Day following the Conversion Date, the Company
shall deliver to the Holder, through the Conversion Agent, a
certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion and cash in lieu of any fractional
share determined pursuant to Section 7.03. The Person in whose
name the certificate is registered shall be treated as a
stockholder of record on and after the Conversion Date; provided,
however, that no surrender of Notes on any 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 such 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; such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate
in effect on the date that such Notes shall have been surrendered
for conversion, as if the stock transfer books of the Company had
not been closed. Upon conversion of Notes, such Person shall no
longer be a Holder of such Notes.
No payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends on
or other distributions with respect to any Common Stock
except as provided in Section 7.06 or as otherwise provided
in this Indenture.
On conversion of Notes, that portion of accrued interest
with respect to the converted Notes shall not be canceled,
extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be
paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of the
Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu
of fractional shares) in exchange for the Notes being
converted pursuant to the provisions hereof, and the Fair
Market Value of such shares of Common Stock (together with
any such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) shall be
treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange
for interest accrued and unpaid through the Conversion Date,
and the balance, if any, of such Fair Market Value of such
Common Stock (and any such cash payment) shall be treated as
issued in exchange for the principal amount of the Notes
being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.
Notwithstanding conversion of any Notes, the Holders of the
Notes and any Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof
will continue to be entitled to receive Additional Amounts in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.
If a Holder converts more than one Note at the same
time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion shall be based on the total principal amount of
the Notes converted.
Upon surrender of a Note that is converted in part, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new
Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount
to the unconverted portion of the Note surrendered.
If the last day on which Notes may be converted is a
legal holiday in a place where a Conversion Agent is located,
the Notes may be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the
next succeeding day that it is not a legal holiday.
Section 7.03 Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. The
Company shall not issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon
conversion of Notes. Instead the Company shall deliver cash for
the current market value of the fractional share. The current
market value of a fractional share shall be determined to the
nearest 1/10,000th of a share by multiplying the Last Reported
Sale Price of a full share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Conversion Date by the fractional
amount and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.
Section 7.04 Taxes on Conversion. If a Holder converts Notes,
the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or
transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon the
conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is
due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name
other than the Holder's name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to
deliver the certificates representing the Common Stock being
issued in a name other than the Holder's name until the
Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which
shall be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other
than the Holder's name. Nothing herein shall preclude any
withholding tax required by law.
Section 7.05 Covenants of the Company. The Company shall,
prior to issuance of any Notes 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 the Notes.
All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of
the Notes shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares,
shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and
free of any lien or adverse claim.
The Company shall endeavor promptly to comply with all
federal and state securities laws regulating the order and
delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of
Notes, if any, and shall cause to have listed or quoted all
such shares of Common Stock on each United States national
securities exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic
market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.
Section 7.06 Adjustments to Conversion Rate. The Conversion
Rate shall be adjusted from time to time, without duplication, as
follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a
distribution on its Common Stock exclusively in shares of its
Common Stock; (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a
greater number of shares; or (iii) combine its outstanding Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Rate in
effect immediately prior to the record date or effective date, as
the case may be, for the adjustment pursuant to this Section
7.06(a) as described below, shall be adjusted so that the Holder
of any Notes thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be
entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company which such Holder would have owned or have been entitled
to receive after the happening of any of the events described
above had such Notes been converted immediately prior to such
record date or effective date, as the case may be. An adjustment
made pursuant to this Section 7.06(a) shall become effective
immediately after the applicable record date in the case of a
dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the applicable effective date in the case of subdivision or
combination of the Company's Common Stock. If any dividend or
distribution of the type described in clause (i) above is 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.
(b) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all
holders of the Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring
within 60 days after the date of issuance of such rights or
warrants) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at a price
per share less than the Market Price per share of Common Stock on
the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately after such record date shall be adjusted so that the
same shall equal the Conversion Rate determined by multiplying
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such record date
by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the
number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase, and (ii) the denominator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date
plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of
the total number of shares so offered would purchase at the
Market Price per share of Common Stock on the earlier of such
record date or the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-date
for such issuance of rights or warrants. Such adjustment shall
be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are
issued, and shall become effective immediately after the opening
of business on the day following the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or
warrants. To the extent that shares of 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 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 such record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or
warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights
or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at less than such Market Price, and in
determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common
Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration
received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of
such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the
Board of Directors.
(c) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise,
distribute to all holders of Common Stock any assets, debt
securities, shares of any class of capital stock of the Company
or rights or warrants to purchase any of its securities
(excluding (i) any dividend, distribution or issuance covered by
those referred to in Section 7.06(a) or 7.06(b) hereof and
(ii) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash) (any
of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 7.06(c) called the
"Distributed Assets or Securities"), then, in each case, the
Conversion Rate shall be adjusted (unless Section 7.06(e)
applies, in which case the adjustment shall be made as provided
therein) so that the same shall equal the Conversion Rate
determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to the close of business on the record date
mentioned below by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be
the Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the earlier of
the record date or the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-
date for such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator
shall be (1) the Market Price per share of the Common Stock on
the earlier of such record date or the Trading Day immediately
preceding the ex-date for such dividend or distribution less
(2) the Fair Market Value on the earlier of such record date or
the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-date for such
dividend or distribution (as determined by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described
in a certificate filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent)
of the Distributed Assets or Securities so distributed applicable
to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become
effective immediately after the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution; provided, however, that, if (i) the Fair Market
Value of the portion of the Distributed Assets or Securities so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to
or greater than the Market Price of the Common Stock on the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such distribution or (ii) the Market Price of the Common
Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution is greater than the Fair
Market Value per share of such Distributed Assets or Securities
by less than $1.00, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment,
adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have
the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the shares
of Common Stock, the kind and amount of assets, debt securities,
shares of our capital stock or rights or warrants comprising the
Distributed Assets or Securities the Holder would have received
had such Holder converted such Notes immediately prior to the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such distribution. In the event that such distribution
is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be
adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if
such distribution had not been declared.
(d) In case the Company shall make any distributions, by
dividend or otherwise, consisting exclusively of cash to all
holders of Common Stock, other than cash dividends on Common
Stock in amounts up to $0.25 aggregate cash dividends per share
of Common Stock in any six month period (the "Dividend Threshold
Amount"), then, in such case, the Conversion Rate shall be
adjusted so that the same shall equal the Conversion Rate
determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to the close of business on the record date
fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive such distribution by a fraction of which (A) the
numerator shall be the Market Price per share of the Common Stock
on the earlier of such record date or the Trading Day immediately
preceding the ex-date for such dividend or distribution and
(B) the denominator shall be (1) the Market Price per share of
Common Stock on the earlier of such record date or the Trading
Day immediately preceding the ex-date for such dividend or
distribution less (2) the amount of cash so distributed
applicable to one share of Common Stock (in the case of cash
dividends, that amount in excess of the Dividend Threshold
Amount).
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after
the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution; provided that if
(i) the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to
one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than
the Market Price of the Common Stock on the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such distribution or (ii) the Market Price of
the Common Stock on the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution is greater than the portion of the cash so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock by
less than $1.00, then, in lieu of the foregoing
adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that
each Holder shall have the right to receive upon
conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock,
the amount of cash such Holder would have received had
such Holder converted such Notes immediately prior to
the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution. In the event
that such distribution is not so paid or made, the
Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such
distribution had not been declared. If any adjustment
is required to be made by this Section 7.06(d) as a
result of a distribution of a dividend in any six month
period that exceeds the Dividend Threshold Amount, such
adjustment shall be based upon the amount by which such
distribution exceeds the Dividend Threshold Amount. If
an adjustment is otherwise required to be made by this
Section 7.06(d), such adjustment shall be based upon the
full amount of the distribution.
(e) With respect to Section 7.06(c) above, in the event that the
Company makes any distribution to all holders of Common Stock for
which an adjustment is required by Section 7.06(c) consisting of
Equity Interests in a Subsidiary or other business unit of the
Company, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same
shall equal the Conversion Rate determined by multiplying the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of
business on the record date fixed for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution by
a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be (x) the Spin-off
Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date
plus (y) the Spin-off Market Price per Equity Interest of the
Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company on such record
date and (ii) the denominator shall be the Spin-off Market Price
per share of the Common Stock on such record date, such
adjustment to become effective immediately after the effective
date of such distribution of Equity Interests in a Subsidiary or
other business unit of the Company.
(f) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or
any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall
expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the
expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of
consideration per share of Common Stock having a Fair Market
Value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive, and described in a certificate
filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent) that as of the
last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be
made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be
amended) exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of
Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration
Time, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same
shall equal the Conversion Rate determined by multiplying the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Expiration
Time by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the sum
of (x) the Fair Market Value (determined as aforesaid) of the
aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the
acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the
tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or
exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares
deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as
the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at
the Expiration Time and the Last Reported Sale Price of a share
of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration
Time, and (ii) the denominator shall be the product of the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any Purchased
Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Last Reported Sale Price
of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the
Expiration Time.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior
to the opening of business on the day following the
Expiration Time. If the Company is obligated to
purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange
offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by
applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all
such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall
again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would
then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had
not been made.
(g) Upon conversion of the Notes, the Holders shall receive, in
addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the
rights issued under any future shareholder rights plan the
Company implements (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event
causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior
to the time of conversion) unless, prior to conversion, such
rights have expired, terminated or been redeemed or exchanged in
accordance with such future shareholders rights plan. If, and
only if, the Holders of Notes receive rights under such
shareholder rights plan as described in the preceding sentence
upon conversion of their Notes, then no other adjustment pursuant
to this Section 7.06 shall be made in connection with such
shareholder rights plan, but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate
shall be made pursuant to Section 7.06(c) hereof upon the
separation of the rights from the Common Stock.
(h) For purposes of this Section 7.06, the number of shares of
Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares
held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares
issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of
fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not pay
any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock
held in the treasury of the Company.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
Conversion Rate exceed the maximum conversion rate specified
under this Section 7.06(i) (the "Maximum Conversion Rate") as a
result of an adjustment pursuant to Section 7.06(d) and Section
7.06(f) hereof. The Maximum Conversion Rate shall initially be
47.3934. The Maximum Conversion Rate is subject to the same
proportional adjustments made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to
Section 7.06(a), (b), (c) or (e) hereof.
(j) If any adjustment or readjustment is made to the Conversion
Rate pursuant to this Section 7.06 (other than pursuant to
Section 7.06(d)), the same proportional adjustment shall be made
to the Dividend Threshold Amount; provided that the Dividend
Threshold Amount shall be decreased whenever the Conversion Rate
is increased and increased whenever the Conversion Rate is
decreased.
Section 7.07 Calculation Methodology. No adjustment in the
Conversion Rate need be made unless the adjustment would require
an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate
then in effect, provided that any adjustment that would otherwise
be required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment. Except as stated in this
Article VII, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted for the
issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase
any of the foregoing. Any adjustments that are made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under Article VII, Section 7.06 and
this Section 7.07 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the
nearest 1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be.
Section 7.08 When No Adjustment Required. No adjustment to the
Conversion Rate need be made:
(a) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to
any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of
dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and
the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common
Stock under any plan;
(b) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options
or rights to purchase or acquire those shares pursuant to any
present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan
or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries;
(c) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to
any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or
convertible security not described in paragraph (b) above and
outstanding as of the date of this Supplemental Indenture;
(d) for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common
Stock; or
(e) for accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional
Amounts, if any).
To the extent the Notes become convertible into cash,
assets, or property (other than capital stock of the Company
or securities to which Section 7.12 applies), no adjustment
shall be made thereafter as to the cash, assets or property.
Interest shall not accrue on such cash.
Section 7.09 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion
Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a
notice of the adjustment. The Company shall file with the
Trustee and the Conversion Agent such notice. The certificate
shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence that the
adjustment is correct. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion
Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to
any such certificate except to exhibit the same to any Holder
desiring inspection thereof.
Section 7.10 Voluntary Increase. The Company may make such
increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required
by Section 7.06, as the Board of Directors considers to be
advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of
Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from
any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire
stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may from
time to time increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any
period of time if the period is at least 20 days, the increase is
irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors shall
have made a determination that such increase would be in the best
interests of the Company, which determination shall be
conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is so increased, the
Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee and the
Conversion Agent a notice of such increase. Neither the Trustee
nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or
responsibility with respect to any such notice except to exhibit
the same to any Holder desiring inspection thereof. The Company
shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the
increased Conversion Rate takes affect. The notice shall state
the increased Conversion Rate and the period it shall be in
effect.
Section 7.11 Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In
case:
(a) The Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an
adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7.06;
(b) The Company shall authorize the granting to all or
substantially all the holders of its Common Stock of rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or
any other rights or warrants;
(c) Of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common
Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of
its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from
par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or
of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party
and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is
required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company; or
(d) Of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company, the Company shall cause to be filed
with the Trustee and to be mailed to each Holder at its address
appearing on the Security Register, as promptly as possible but
in any event at least 15 days prior to the applicable date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record
to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, or rights or
warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to
become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled
to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such
dividend, distribution, reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up.
Section 7.12 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger,
Binding Share Exchange or Sale. If any of the following events
occur, namely (a) any reclassification or change of outstanding
shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from
par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or
as a result of a subdivision or combination); (b) any
consolidation, merger, combination or binding share exchange of
the Company with another corporation as a result of which holders
of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or
other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in
exchange for such Common Stock; or (c) any sale or conveyance of
the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as,
an entirety to any other corporation as a result of which holders
of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or
other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in
exchange for such Common Stock, then the Company or the successor
or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with
the Trustee a Supplemental Indenture, providing that each Note
shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities or property or assets (including cash)
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, combination, binding share exchange, sale or conveyance
by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of such Note immediately prior to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination,
binding share exchange, sale or conveyance. Such Supplemental
Indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for
in this Section 7.12.
The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such
Supplemental Indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at its
address appearing on the Security Register, within 20 days
after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice
shall not affect the legality or validity of such
supplemental indenture.
The above provisions of this Section shall similarly
apply to successive reclassifications, changes,
consolidations, mergers, combinations, binding share
exchanges, sales and conveyances.
If this Section 7.12 applies to any event or occurrence,
Section 7.06 shall not apply.
Section 7.13 Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any
other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any Holder to either calculate the Conversion
Rate or determine whether any facts exist which may require any
adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature
or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or
with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any
supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the
same and shall be protected in relying upon an Officers'
Certificate with respect to the same. The Trustee and any other
Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the
validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common
Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be
issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Notes and the
Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations
with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Article Six
of the Base Indenture, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion
Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to
issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock
certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the
surrender of any Notes for the purpose of conversion or to comply
with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the
Company contained in this Section. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any
Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine
the correctness of any provisions contained in any Supplemental
Indenture entered into pursuant to Article VII hereof relating
either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or
property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the
conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such
Section 7.12 or to any adjustment to be made with respect
thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Article Six of the
Base Indenture, may accept as conclusive evidence of the
correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in
relying upon, the Officers' Certificate (which the Company shall
be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of
any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.
Section 7.14 Simultaneous Adjustments. In the event that
Section 7.06 requires adjustments to the Conversion Rate under
more than one of Sections 7.06(a), (b), (c), (d) or (f), and the
Record Dates for the distributions giving rise to such
adjustments shall occur on the same date, then such adjustments
shall be made by applying, first, the provisions of Section
7.06(c), second, the provisions of Section 7.06(a), third, the
provisions of Section 7.06(b), fourth, the provisions of section
7.06(d) and fifth, the provisions of Section 7.06(f).
Section 7.15 Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to
the Conversion Rate under Section 7.06, any subsequent event
requiring an adjustment under Section 7.06 shall cause an
adjustment to the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.
Section 7.16 General Considerations. Whenever successive
adjustments to the Conversion Rate are called for pursuant to
Article VII hereof, such adjustments shall be made to the Market
Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent
of Article VII hereof and to avoid unjust or inequitable results
as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
ARTICLE VIII
Restrictions on Transfer
Section 8.01 Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Transfer and Exchange of Notes in Definitive Form. In
addition to the requirements set forth in Section 305 of the Base
Indenture, Notes in definitive form that are Transfer Restricted
Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange pursuant to Section 305 of the Base Indenture shall
be accompanied by the following additional information and
documents, as applicable, upon which the Security Registrar may
conclusively rely:
(i) if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being delivered
to the Security Registrar by a Holder for registration in the
name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such
Holder to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B
hereto); or
(ii) if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being transferred
(1) to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule
144A under the Securities Act or (2) pursuant to an exemption
from registration in accordance with Rule 144 under the
Securities Act (and based upon an opinion of counsel if the
Company or the Trustee so requests) or (3) pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, a
certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially
the form of Exhibit B hereto); or
(iii) if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being
transferred in reliance on and in compliance with another
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act, a certification to that effect from such Holder (in
substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto) and an opinion of
counsel to that effect if the Company or the Trustee so requests.
(b) Transfer and Exchange of the Notes.
(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial
interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in
accordance with Section 305 of the Base Indenture and Article

Depositary therefor, which shall include restrictions on transfer
comparable to those set forth therein and herein to the extent
required by the Securities Act.
(ii) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial
interests therein for certificated notes (or vice versa) shall be
effected through the Trustee and the Depositary, as the case may
be, in accordance with Section 305 of the Base Indenture and

forth therein and herein) and the rules and procedures of the
Depositary therefor, which shall include restrictions on transfer
comparable to those set forth therein and herein to the extent
required by the Securities Act.
Section 8.02 Legends.
(a) Except as permitted by Section 8.02(b) hereof, each
certificate evidencing the Global Notes or certificated notes in
definitive form (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or
substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the
following form:
THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY
ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION
UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE
"SECURITIES ACT"), AND THIS SECURITY AND THE COMMON
STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF MAY NOT BE
OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE
ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE
EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS
SECURITY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS
SECURITY 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 SECURITY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT
OF THE COMPANY THAT (A) THIS SECURITY AND THE
COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF MAY BE
OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED,
ONLY (I) TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY
BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS
DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A
TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A,
(II) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144
THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE) OR (III) PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (III)
IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS
OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE
HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED
TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THE SECURITY FROM IT OF
THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE.
THIS SECURITY AND ANY RELATED DOCUMENTATION MAY BE
AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME TO MODIFY
THE RESTRICTIONS ON AND PROCEDURES FOR RESALES AND
OTHER TRANSFERS OF THIS SECURITY TO REFLECT ANY
CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION (OR THE
INTERPRETATION THEREOF) OR IN PRACTICES RELATING TO
THE RESALE OR TRANSFER OF RESTRICTED SECURITIES
GENERALLY. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY SHALL BE
DEEMED BY THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS SECURITY TO HAVE
AGREED TO ANY SUCH AMENDMENT OR SUPPLEMENT.
THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO, AND
ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF, A REGISTRATION RIGHTS
AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF OCTOBER 10, 2003 ENTERED
INTO BY THE COMPANY FOR THE BENEFIT OF CERTAIN
HOLDERS OF SECURITIES FROM TIME TO TIME.
Each certificate evidencing the Global Notes also shall bear
the legend specified for Global Notes in the form of Note
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(b) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security
(including any Transfer Restricted Security represented by a
Global Note) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, which
shall be certified to the Trustee and Security Registrar upon
which each may conclusively rely:
(i) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security represented
by a certificated note, the Security Registrar shall permit the
Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for
a certificated note that does not bear the legend set forth in
Section 8.02(a) hereof and rescind any restriction on the
transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security; and
(ii) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security represented
by a Global Note, such Transfer Restricted Security shall not be
required to bear the legend set forth in Section 8.02(a) hereof
if all other interests in such Global Note have been or are
concurrently being sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act.
Section 8.03 Registration Rights Agreement.
The Company shall perform its obligations under the
Registration Rights Agreement and shall comply in all
material respects with the terms and conditions contained
therein including, without limitation, the payment of
Additional Amounts.
Section 8.04 Restriction on Common Stock Issuable Upon
Conversion.
(a) Shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of Notes
prior to the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement
shall be physically delivered in certificated form to the Holders
converting such Notes and the certificate representing such
shares of Common Stock shall bear the Restricted Common Stock
Legend unless removed in accordance with Section 8.04(c).
(b) If (i) shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion
of Notes prior to the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration
Statement are to be registered in a name other than that of the
Holder of such Notes or (ii) shares of Common Stock represented
by a certificate bearing the Restricted Common Stock Legend are
transferred subsequently by such Holder, then, unless the Shelf
Registration Statement has become effective and such shares are
being transferred pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement,
the Holder must deliver to the transfer agent for the Common
Stock and to the Company a certificate in substantially the form
of Exhibit H as to compliance with the restrictions on transfer
applicable to such shares of Common Stock and neither the
transfer agent nor the registrar for the Common Stock shall be
required to register any transfer of such Common Stock not so
accompanied by a properly completed certificate.
(c) Except in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement, if
certificates representing shares of Common Stock are issued upon
the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of any
other certificate representing shares of Common Stock bearing the
Restricted Common Stock Legend, or if a request is made to remove
such Restricted Common Stock Legend from certificates
representing shares of Common Stock, the certificates so issued
shall bear the Restricted Common Stock Legend, or the Restricted
Common Stock Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be,
unless there is delivered to the Company such reasonably
satisfactory evidence, which, in the case of a transfer made
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, may
include an opinion of counsel, as may be reasonably required by
the Company, that neither the legend nor the restrictions on
transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers
thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under
the Securities Act of 1933 and that such shares of Common Stock
are securities that are not "restricted" within the meaning of
Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. Upon provision to the
Company of such reasonably satisfactory evidence, the Company
shall cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock to
countersign and deliver certificates representing shares of
Common Stock that do not bear the legend.
Section 8.05 Delivery of Certain Information. At any time when
the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, upon the request of a Holder or any beneficial holder of
Notes or shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof,
the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule
144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder or any
beneficial holder of Notes or holder of shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of Notes, or to a prospective purchaser of
any such security designated by any such holder, as the case may
be, to the extent required to permit compliance by such Holder or
holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with
the resale of any such security. "Rule 144A Information" shall
be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Securities Act.

hereby, no amendment or Supplemental Indenture shall without the
consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby:
(i) Reduce the Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Fundamental
Change Purchase Price of the Notes; or
(ii) Alter the manner of calculation or rate of Additional
Amounts payable on any Note or extend the time for payment of any
such amount.
The references to "interest" in Sections 513(1) and 1001 of

apply to the Notes issued hereby and all other Securities issued
under the Base Indenture from and after the date of this Fifth
Supplemental Indenture, including the Company's 7.25% Senior
Notes due 2013.
(i) The first paragraph of Section 502 of the Base Indenture is
hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following
paragraph:
"If an Event of Default with respect to Securities
of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is
continuing, other than under clause (6) or (7) of
Section 501, then in every such case the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series
may declare the principal amount (or, if the
Securities of that series are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal
amount as may be specified in the terms of that
series) of all of the Securities of that series to
be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders), and upon any such declaration such
principal amount (or specified amount) shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of
Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section
501 occurs with respect to Securities of any series
at the time Outstanding, all unpaid principal of
and accrued interest on the Outstanding Securities
of that series shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration
or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder of any Security of that series."
(ii) The following paragraph is added to the end of Section 301
of the Base Indenture:
"All Securities of any series need not be issued at
the same time and, unless otherwise so provided, a
series may be reopened for issuance of additional
Securities of such series."

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ KODAK COMPANY
3.375% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES DUE 2033
1. INTEREST
This Note shall bear interest at a rate of 3.375% per
year on the principal hereof, from October 10, 2003 or from
the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to
which payment has been made or duly provided for, payable
semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each
year, beginning April 15, 2004 (each an "Interest Payment
Date") to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered
at the close of business on the April 1 and October 1 (each a
"Regular Record Date") (whether or not a Business Day), as
the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment
Date. The amount of interest payable for any period shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. The amount of interest payable for any partial period
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-
day months and the days elapsed in any partial month.
Holders of Notes at the close of business on a Regular
Record Date will receive payment of interest payable on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the
conversion of such Notes at any time after the close of
business on such Regular Record Date. Notes surrendered for
conversion by a Holder during the period from the close of
business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of
business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date
must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the
interest that the Holder is to receive on the Notes;
provided, however, that no such payment need be made if (1)
the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a
Regular Record Date and on or prior to the immediately
following Interest Payment Date, (2) the Company has
specified a Purchase Date following a Fundamental Change that
is during such period or (3) any overdue interest exists at
the time of conversion with respect to such Notes to the
extent of such overdue interest. The Holders of the Notes
and any Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof will
continue to be entitled to receive Additional Amounts in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.
If the principal hereof or any portion of such principal
is not paid when due (whether upon acceleration, upon the
date set for payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to
paragraph 5 hereof, upon the date set for payment of a
Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price pursuant
to paragraph 7 hereof or upon the Stated Maturity of this
Note) or if interest due hereon or any portion of such
interest is not paid when due in accordance with this
paragraph or paragraph 9 hereof, then in each such case the
overdue amount shall bear interest at the rate of 3.375% per
annum, compounded semiannually (to the extent that the
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which
interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was
due to the date payment of such amount, including interest
thereon, has been made or duly provided for. All such
interest shall be payable on demand.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT
Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
any such interest on this Note will be made at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, in such coin or currency of the
United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided,
however, that at the option of the Company payment of
interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of
the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in
the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately
available funds at such place and to such account as may be
designated in writing by the Person entitled thereto as
specified in the Security Register.
3. PAYING AGENT, CONVERSION AGENT AND SECURITY REGISTRAR
Initially, the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent,
Conversion Agent and Security Registrar. The Company may
appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent,
Security Registrar or co-registrar or approve a change in the
office through which any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent
acts without notice, other than notice to the Trustee. The
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates
may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Security Registrar
or co-registrar.
4. INDENTURE
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or
more series under an Indenture, dated as of January 1, 1988,
as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto,
dated as of September 6, 1991, the Second Supplemental
Indenture thereto, dated as of September 20, 1991, the Third
Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of January 26, 1993
and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of
March 1, 1993 (the "Base Indenture"), as supplemented by the
Fifth Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of October 10,
2003 (the "Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the
Base Indenture, the "Indenture"), between the Company and the
Trustee. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined
herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.
Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of
the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders and the terms upon which the Notes are to be
authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and
provisions of the Notes are those stated in the Indenture,
those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in the
Notes.
The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the
Company limited to $575,000,000 aggregate principal amount.
5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY
No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Notes
are redeemable for cash at any time in whole, or from time to
time in part, on or after October 15, 2010 at the option of
the Company at a redemption price ("Redemption Price") equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed
plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional
Amounts, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
6. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY
Notice of redemption at the option of the Company shall
be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a
Redemption Date to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each
Holder of Notes to be redeemed at the Holder's registered
address. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of
all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the
Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent prior to
or on the Redemption Date, on and after the Redemption Date
interest (including Additional Amounts, if any), if any,
shall cease to accrue on such Notes or portions thereof.
Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 principal amount
may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of
$1,000 principal amount.
7. PURCHASE BY THE COMPANY AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER;
PURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Indenture, a Holder shall have the option to require the
Company to purchase all or any portion of the Notes held by
such Holder on October 15, 2010, October 15, 2013,
October 15, 2018, October 15, 2023 and October 15, 2028
(each, a "Purchase Date") at a purchase price (the "Purchase
Price") equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to
be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including
Additional Amounts, if any) to, but excluding, such Purchase
Date, upon delivery of a Purchase Notice containing the
information set forth in the Indenture, from the opening of
business on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to such
Purchase Date until the close of business on the Business Day
prior to such Purchase Date and upon delivery of the Notes to
the Paying Agent by the Holder as set forth in the Indenture.
The Company will pay the Purchase Price in cash.
Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 principal
amount may be purchased in part, but only in integral
multiples of $1,000 principal amount.
(b) If a Fundamental Change shall occur at any time
prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the right,
at such Holder's option and subject to the terms and
conditions of the Indenture, to require the Company to
purchase all of such Holder's Notes or any portion of the
principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 on the day that is 35 days after
the date of the Company Notice of the occurrence of the
Fundamental Change (subject to extension to comply with
applicable law) for a Fundamental Change Purchase Price equal
to 100% of the principal amount of Notes purchased plus
accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts, if
any) to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date,
which Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid by the
Company in cash, as set forth in the Indenture.
(c) Holders have the right to withdraw any Purchase
Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as the case may
be, by delivery to the Paying Agent of a written notice of
withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture.
(d) If cash sufficient to pay a Fundamental Change
Purchase Price or Purchase Price, as the case may be, of all
Notes or portions thereof to be purchased as of the Purchase
Date or the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may
be, is deposited with the Paying Agent on the Business Day
following the Purchase Date or the Fundamental Change
Purchase Date, as the case may be, interest (including
Additional Amounts, if any) shall cease to accrue on such
Notes (or portions thereof) on and after such date, and the
Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such (other than
the right to receive the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change
Purchase Price, as the case may be, upon surrender of such
Note).
8. CONVERSION
Subject to the procedures set forth in the Indenture, a
Holder may convert Notes into Common Stock, in whole or in
part (but only those called for redemption in the case of
paragraph 8(e) below), on or before the close of business on
October 15, 2033 during the periods and upon satisfaction of
at least one of the conditions set forth below:
(a) in any calendar quarter (and only during such
calendar quarter), beginning with the calendar quarter
ending March 31, 2004, if the Last Reported Sale Price
for Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days during the
period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last
Trading Day of the previous calendar quarter is greater
than or equal to 120% of the Conversion Price per share
of Common Stock on such last Trading Day;
(b) during any period in which either (A) the
credit rating assigned to the Notes by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Investors
Service, Inc. is lower than Ba2 or (B) the credit rating
assigned to the Notes by Standard & Poors Rating
Services is lower than BB;
(c) during any period in which the Notes no longer
are assigned credit ratings by at least one of ▇▇▇▇▇'▇
Investors Services, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services or their successors;
(d) during any five consecutive Trading Day period
following any 10 consecutive Trading Day period in which
(1) the Trading Price of a Note for each day of such
period was less than 105% of the Conversion Value, and
(2) the Conversion Value for each day of such period was
less than 95% of the principal amount of a Note;
(e) in the event that the Company issues a notice
pursuant to Section 1102 of the Base Indenture that it
intends to call the Notes for redemption, at any time
prior to the close of business on the second Business
Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (but only
those Notes called for redemption may be converted); or
(f) the Company becomes a party to a
consolidation, merger or binding share exchange pursuant
to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash,
property or securities, in which case a Holder may
surrender Notes for conversion at any time from and
after the date which is 15 days prior to the anticipated
effective date for the transaction until 15 days after
the actual effective date of such transaction (or the
close of business of the Business Day immediately
preceding the date on which the Company announces that
the transaction will not take place) and, at the
effective time of the transaction, the right to convert
a Note into shares of Common Stock shall be changed into
a right to convert such Note into the kind and amount of
cash, property or securities of the Company or another
person that the Holder would have received if the Holder
had converted the Note immediately prior to the
transaction as set forth in Section 7.12 of the Fifth
Supplemental Indenture; or
(g) the Company elects to (i) distribute to all
holders of Common Stock assets, debt securities or
rights to purchase securities of the Company, which
distribution has a per share value as determined by the
Board of Directors exceeding 5% of the Last Reported
Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the declaration date for such
distribution, or (ii) distribute to all holders of
Common Stock rights entitling them to purchase, for a
period expiring within 60 days after the date of such
distribution, shares of Common Stock at less than the
Last Reported Sale Price of Common Stock on the Trading
Day immediately preceding the declaration date of the
distribution. In the case of the foregoing clauses (i)
and (ii), the Company must notify the Holders at least
20 Business Days immediately prior to the ex date for
such distribution. Once the Company has given such
notice, Holders may surrender their Notes for
conversion, in whole or in part, at any time thereafter
until the earlier of the close of business on the
Business Day immediately prior to the ex date and the
date of the Company's announcement that such
distribution will not take place; provided, however,
that a Holder may not exercise this right to convert if
the Holder may participate in the distribution without
conversion. As used herein, the term "ex date," when
used with respect to any issuance or distribution, shall
mean the first date on which the Common Stock trades
regular way on such exchange or in such market without
the right to receive such issuance or distribution.
Notes in respect of which a Holder has delivered a
notice of exercise of the option to require the Company to
purchase such Notes pursuant to Articles IV or V of the
Supplemental Indenture may be converted only if the notice of
exercise is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the
Supplemental Indenture.
The initial Conversion Rate is 32.2373 shares of Common
Stock per $1,000 principal amount, subject to adjustment in
certain events described in the Indenture. The Company shall
deliver cash or a check in lieu of any fractional share of
Common Stock.
Holders of Notes at the close of business on a Regular
Record Date will receive payment of interest payable on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the
conversion of such Notes at any time after the close of
business on such Regular Record Date. Notes surrendered for
conversion by a Holder during the period from the close of
business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of
business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date
must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the
interest that the Holder is to receive on the Notes;
provided, however, that no such payment need be made if (1)
the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a
Regular Record Date and on or prior to the immediately
following Interest Payment Date, (2) the Company has
specified a Purchase Date following a Fundamental Change that
is during such period or (3) any overdue interest exists at
the time of conversion with respect to such Notes to the
extent of such overdue interest. The Holders of the Notes
and any Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof will
continue to be entitled to receive Additional Amounts in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.
To convert the Notes a Holder must (1) complete and
manually sign the irrevocable conversion notice on the back
of the Notes (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of
such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent
at the office maintained by the Conversion Agent for such
purpose, (2) surrender the Notes to the Conversion Agent, (3)
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if
required by the Conversion Agent, the Company or the Trustee
and (4) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required.
A Holder may convert a portion of the Notes only if the
principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or a multiple of
$1,000. No payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends
on the Common Stock except as provided in the Indenture. On
conversion of the Notes, that portion of accrued and unpaid
interest attributable to the period from the Original Issue
Date to the Conversion Date with respect to the converted
portion of the Notes shall not be canceled, extinguished or
forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to
the Holder thereof through the delivery of the Common Stock
(together with any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares)
in exchange for the portion of the Notes being converted
pursuant to the terms hereof; and the Fair Market Value of
such shares of Common Stock (together with any such cash
payment in lieu of fractional shares) shall be treated as
issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for interest
accrued and unpaid through the Conversion Date, and the
balance, if any, of such Fair Market Value of such Common
Stock (and any such cash payment) shall be treated as issued
in exchange for the principal amount of the Notes being
converted pursuant to the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding
the conversion of any Notes, the Holders of the Notes and any
Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof will continue
to be entitled to receive Additional Amounts in accordance
with the Registration Rights Agreement.
9. DEFAULTED INTEREST
Except as otherwise specified with respect to the Notes,
any Defaulted Interest on any Note shall forthwith cease to
be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the relevant
Regular Record Date or accrual date, as the case may be, by
virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted
Interest may be paid by the Company as provided for in
Section 2.04 of the Supplemental Indenture.
10. DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE
The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 principal amount and multiples of
$1,000. A Holder may transfer or convert Notes in accordance
with the Indenture. The Security Registrar may require a
Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and
fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. In the
event of any redemption or purchase in part, the Security
Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any
Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note
to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be
redeemed) or any Notes in respect of which a Purchase Notice
or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given and not
withdrawn (except, in the case of a Note to be purchased in
part, the portion of the Note not to be purchased) for a
period of 15 days before the mailing of a Redemption Notice,
Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.
11. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS
The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the
owner of this Note for all purposes.
12. UNCLAIMED MONEY OR PROPERTY
The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the
Company upon written request any money or property held by
them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Notes
that remains unclaimed for two years, provided, however, that
the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to
make any such return, shall at the expense of the Company
cause to be published once in a newspaper of general
circulation in The City of New York or mail to each such
Holder notice that such money or property remains unclaimed
and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be
less than 30 days from the date of such publication or
mailing, any unclaimed money or property then remaining shall
be returned to the Company. After return to the Company,
Holders entitled to the money or property must look to the
Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable
abandoned property law designates another Person.
13. AMENDMENT; WAIVER
Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the
Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with
the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
Outstanding and (ii) certain defaults or noncompliance with
certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture or the
Notes may be amended without the consent of any Holders under
circumstances set forth in Section 901 of the Base Indenture.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Note.
14. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, may
declare the principal amount of all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency are Events of Default which shall result in the
principal amount of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on
(including Additional Amounts, if any), the Notes becoming
due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such
Events of Default.
Events of Default in respect of the Notes are set forth

calculations and each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent
is entitled to rely upon the accuracy of such calculations
without independent verification. The Trustee will forward
