ARTICLE 2
The Notes

Section 2.01. Form and Dating.

The Notes and the conversion notices shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Principal Amount of the Notes shall be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and 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. To the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

Upon their original issuance, Initial Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons and without the Restricted Note Legend. Additional Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons and, unless issued pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, bearing the Restricted Note Legend. Global Notes bearing the Restricted Note Legend, together with their Successor Notes which are Global Notes, are collectively herein called the “Restricted Global Notes”. Global Note shall be registered in the name of DTC, as Depositary, or its nominee and deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, for credit by DTC to the respective accounts of beneficial owners of the Notes represented thereby (or such other accounts as they may direct).

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication.

Two Officers shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature (which may be by facsimile) of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Notes upon a written order of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (an “Authentication Order”). Such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be issued as one or more Global Notes and such other information as the Company may include or the Trustee may reasonably request. The aggregate Principal Amount of Notes that may be outstanding under this Indenture is unlimited; provided that upon initial issuance, the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding shall not exceed $[ ], except as provided in Section 2.08. The Company, without the consent of the Holders of Notes, may issue additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) from time to time having identical terms and conditions as the Notes originally issued under this Indenture (the “Initial Notes”), except for any difference in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes; provided that such Additional Notes are fungible with the Initial Notes for United States federal income tax purposes. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes shall constitute a single series of debt securities and, in circumstances in which this Indenture provides for Holders of Notes to vote or take any action, the Holders of Initial Notes and the Holders of any Additional Notes shall vote or take such action as a single class.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03. Registrar; Conversion Agent; and Paying Agent.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer, exchange, conversion, redemption or repurchase (“Registrar” and with respect to conversion, “Conversion Agent”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer, exchange and conversion (the register maintained in such office, the “Note Register”). The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars or conversion agents and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, the term “Conversion Agent” includes any co-conversion agent and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent without notice to any Holder. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent.

The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent and custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

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 Principal Amount, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05. Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA ss. 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA ss. 312(a).

Section 2.06. Global Notes; Non-global Notes; Book-Entry Provisions.

(a) Global Notes

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

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, a Global Note shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Note registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof, provided that a Global Note may be exchanged for Notes registered in the names of any Person designated by the Depositary in the event that (A) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or such Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (B) to the extent permitted by the Depositary, the Company, in its sole discretion, determines at any time that the Notes shall no longer be represented by Global Notes and shall inform such Depositary of such determination; or (C) there is a request by or on behalf of the

Depository in accordance with its customary procedures to exchange an interest in the Global Notes for Non-global Notes. Any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (A) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (B) or (C) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Depositary. Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be a Global Note; provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note.

(iii) If any Global Note is to be exchanged for other Notes or canceled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the Trustee, as Note Registrar, for exchange or cancellation, as provided in this Article 2. If any Global Note is to be exchanged for other Notes or canceled in part, or if another Note is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Note, in each case, as provided in Section 2.07, then either (A) such Global Note shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation, as provided in this Article 2, or (B) the Principal Amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the Principal Amount of such other Note to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Note, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 2.07(c) and as otherwise provided in this Article 2, authenticate and deliver any Notes issuable in exchange for such Global Note (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its authorized representative. Upon the request of the Trustee in connection with the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Notes that are not in the form of Global Notes. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article 2 if such order, direction or request is given or made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

(iv) Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article 2 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a registered Global Note, unless such Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof, in which case such Note shall be authenticated and delivered in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(v) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Note, shall be the Holder of such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture and the Notes, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Note shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members and

such owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note shall not be considered the owners or holders thereof.

(b) Non-global Notes. Notes issued upon the events described in Section 2.06(a)(ii) shall be in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, and shall bear the Restricted Notes Legend if and as required by this Indenture.

Section 2.07. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 2.03 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

At the option of the Holder, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.07, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate Principal Amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.07, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes except as provided in Section 2.08, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, 9.05, 10.02, 11.01 or 11.02 (other than where the shares of Common Stock are to be issued or delivered in a name other than that of the Holder of the Note) not involving any transfer and other than any stamp and other duties, if any, which may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, which shall be paid by the Company.

In the event of a redemption of the Notes, neither the Company nor the Registrar will be required (a) to register the transfer of or exchange any Non-global Note for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the certificate numbers of the Notes called for such redemption or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Non-global Note, or portion thereof, called for redemption.

(b) Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, transfers and exchanges of Notes and beneficial interests in a Global Note of the kinds specified in this Section 2.07(b) shall be made only in accordance with this Section 2.07(b).

(i) Restricted Global Note to Restricted Non-global Note. In the event that Non-global Notes are to be issued pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(ii) in connection with any transfer of Notes, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Clause (b)(i) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Registrar, of (A) an Authentication Order from the Company directing the Trustee, as Registrar, to (x) authenticate and deliver one or more Notes of the same aggregate Principal Amount as the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note to be transferred, such instructions to contain the name or names of the designated transferee or transferees, the authorized denomination or denominations of the Notes to be so issued and appropriate delivery instructions and (y) decrease the beneficial interest of a specified Agent Member’s account in a Restricted Global Note by a specified Principal Amount not greater than the Principal Amount of such Restricted Global Note, and (B) such other certifications, legal opinions or other information as the Company or the Trustee may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Trustee, as Registrar, shall decrease the Principal Amount of the Restricted Global Note by the specified amount and authenticate and deliver Notes in accordance with such instructions from the Company as provided in Section 2.06(a)(iii).

(ii) Restricted Non-global Note to Restricted Global Note. If the Holder of a Restricted Non-global Note wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such Restricted Non-global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Clause (b)(ii) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Registrar, of (A) such Restricted Non-global Note as provided in Section 2.07(a) and written instructions from the Company directing that a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note in a specified Principal Amount not greater than the Principal Amount of such Restricted Non-global Note be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account and (B) a Restricted Notes Certificate, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by such Holder or its attorney duly authorized in writing, then the Trustee, as Registrar, shall cancel such Restricted Non-global Note (and issue a new Restricted Non-global Note in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 2.07(a) and increase the Principal Amount of the Restricted Global Note by the specified Principal Amount as provided in Section 2.06(a)(iii).

(iii) Exchanges Between Global Note and Non-global Note. A beneficial interest in a Global Note may be exchanged for a Non-global Note only as provided in Section 2.06(a)(iii), provided that, if such interest is a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note, then such interest shall be exchanged for a Restricted Non-global Note (subject in each case to Section 2.07(c)). A Restricted Non-global Note may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note only if such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer effected in accordance with Clause (b)(ii) above.

(c) Securities Act Legends. All Additional Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture, and all Successor Notes therefor, shall bear the Restricted Notes Legend, subject to the following:

(i) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 2.07(c), a Note or any portion thereof which is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall bear the Restricted Notes Legend borne by such Global Note for which the Note was exchanged;

(ii) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 2.07(c), a new Note which is not a Global Note and is issued in exchange for another Note (including a Global Note) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear the Restricted Notes Legend borne by the Note for which the new Note was exchanged;

(iii) the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes which are sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, together with their Successor Notes shall not bear a Restricted Notes Legend; the Company shall inform the Trustee in writing of the effective date of any such registration statement registering Additional Notes under the Securities Act and shall notify the Trustee at any time when prospectuses must be delivered with respect to Additional Notes to be sold pursuant to such registration statement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned registration statement;

(iv) at any time after the Notes may be freely transferred without registration under the Securities Act or without being subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Securities Act, a new Note which does not bear a Restricted Notes Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Note (other than a Global Note) or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if the Trustee has received an Unrestricted Notes Certificate, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the Holder of such Note bearing a Restricted Notes Legend or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such new Note in exchange for or in lieu of such other Note as provided in this Article 2;

(v) a new Note which does not bear a Restricted Notes Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Note or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if, in the Company’s judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Note is not necessary to ensure compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such a new Note as provided in this Article 2; and

(vi) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07(c), a Successor Note of a Note that does not bear a Restricted Notes Legend shall not bear such legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Note is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144, in which case the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a new Note bearing a Restricted Notes Legend in exchange for such Successor Note as provided in this Article 2.

(d) Any stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes shall bear a legend substantially in the form of the Restricted Notes Legend borne by such Notes, to the extent required by this Indenture, unless such shares of Common Stock have 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 sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing with written notice thereof to the transfer agent for the Common Stock. With respect to the transfer of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes that are restricted hereunder, any deliveries of certificates, legal opinions or other instruments that would be required to be made to the Registrar in the case of a transfer of Notes, as described above, shall instead be made to the transfer agent for the Common Stock.

(e) Neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any of their agents shall (i) have any duty to monitor compliance with or with respect to any federal or state or other securities or tax laws or (ii) have any duty to obtain documentation on any transfers or exchanges other than as specifically required hereunder.

Section 2.08. Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is an additional legally binding obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.09. Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because either of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the Principal Amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Five Year Repurchase Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

If a Note is converted into Common Stock pursuant to Article 10, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue on the day of surrender of such Note or conversion.

Section 2.10. Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required Principal Amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, or whether the Holders of the requisite Principal Amount of outstanding Notes are present at a meeting of Holders of Notes for quorum purposes, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, or any such determination as to the presence of a quorum, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.11. Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.12. Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, Conversion Agent and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, conversion or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, conversion, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Notes in its customary manner. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the

expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.14. Computation of Interest.

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

Section 2.15. CUSIP Numbers.

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

ARTICLE 3
Redemption And Prepayment

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee.

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the Redemption Date, (ii) the Principal Amount of Notes to be redeemed, (iii) whether the Company will deliver shares of Common Stock, or cash in lieu thereof, upon conversion of Notes called for redemption, (v) if the Company elects to deliver cash upon any such conversion, the percentage of the Conversion Rate with respect to which the Company will pay cash and (vi) whether the Company will deliver cash or shares of Common Stock with respect to any Redemption Make Whole Amount owed upon conversion.

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed among the Holders of the Notes on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. If any Note selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Note so selected, the converted portion of such Note shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Notes which have been converted during a selection of Notes to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the Principal Amount thereof to be redeemed. The Principal Amount of Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding Principal Amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

The notice shall identify the Notes (including applicable CUSIP numbers) to be redeemed and shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date;

(b) the Redemption Price;

(c) whether the Company will deliver shares of Common Stock or cash in lieu thereof upon conversion of any Notes called for redemption;

(g) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(h) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

(i) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

(j) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and

(k) the Conversion Rate, that there is a right to convert the Notes to be redeemed, the date on which the right to convert the Notes to be redeemed will terminate (which shall be the

Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date) and the places where Notes may be surrendered for conversion or the procedures for surrendering Notes.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

At or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts, including but not limited to any amounts in respect of Notes that are converted (subject to Section 10.02), necessary to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes to be redeemed. If the Company complies with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 3.05, on and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with this paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid Principal Amount from the Redemption Date and such Note shall remain convertible until such Principal Amount is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid Principal Amount, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in Principal Amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07. Optional Redemption.

(a) Prior to October 1, 2010, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, for cash at a price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the Principal Amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, if the Sale Price of the Common Stock has exceeded, for at least 20 Trading Days in any consecutive 30 Trading Day period ending on the date the Company gives such notice, 180% of the Conversion Price on each such Trading Day. Commencing on, and including, October 1, 2010 until, but excluding, October 1, 2012, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more

than 60 days’ notice, for cash at the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, if the Sale Price of the Common Stock has exceeded, for at least 20 Trading Days in any consecutive 30 Trading Day period ending on the date the Company gives such notice, 150% of the Conversion Price on each such Trading Day.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Note is redeemed on an Interest Payment Date or during the Record Date Period, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on the applicable Regular Record Date and the amount of any such interest to be paid shall be excluded from the Redemption Price.

(b) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06.

(c) No Notes may be redeemed by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.07 if the Principal Amount of the Notes has been accelerated (other than as a result of a failure to pay the relevant redemption price), and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or prior to the Redemption Date.

(a) the Company defaults in the payment when due of interest on the Notes and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(b) the Company defaults in payment when due, whether at Maturity, on a Redemption Date, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, a Five Year Repurchase Date or otherwise, of the Principal Amount of or premium, if any, on the Notes;

(c) the Company fails to give timely notice of (i) the anticipated effective date of a transaction described in clause (2) of the definition of Change of Control pursuant to Section 10.01 or (ii) a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 11.01;

(e) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries fails to make payment under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue Date, if that default:

(1) is caused by a failure to pay at final stated maturity the principal amount on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or

(2) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

and, in the case of each of (1) and (2) above, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $100 million or more;

(f) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

In the case of an Event of Default arising from clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable at their Principal Amount together with accrued and unpaid interest, and thereupon the Trustee may, at its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the Holders of Notes by appropriate judicial proceedings.

Section 6.03. Defaults and Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of Principal Amount, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may take any other action which it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such directive.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:

(a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment and to Convert.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the Principal Amount, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the Stated Maturity dates (including in connection with a redemption and/or an offer to purchase), or to convert such Note in accordance with Article 10, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or of such right to convert, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole Principal Amount of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue Principal Amount and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements

and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, 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, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10. Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

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 a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and

ARTICLE 10

Conversion Of Notes

Section 10.01. Conversion Privilege and Conversion Rate.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Note 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 of the Company at the Conversion Rate, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. Such conversion right shall commence on the initial issuance date of the Notes and expire at the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of Maturity of the Notes, subject, in the case of conversion of any Global Note, to any Applicable Procedures. In case a Note or portion thereof is called for redemption at the election of the Company or the Holder thereof exercises its right to require the Company to repurchase the Note, such conversion right in respect of the Note, or portion thereof so called, shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Five Year Repurchase Date, as the case may be, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption or repurchase, as the case may be (in each case subject as aforesaid to any Applicable Procedures with respect to any Global Note); provided that, if a Holder has delivered notice of the exercise of its right to have its Note repurchased pursuant to Section 11.01(c) or Section 11.02(c), such Holder may not surrender such Note for conversion until such Holder has withdrawn its election to have its Note repurchased in accordance with Section 11.01 or Section 11.02, as the case may be.

The rate at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the “Conversion Rate”) shall be initially [ ] shares of Common Stock for each U.S. $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes. The Conversion Rate shall be shall be adjusted (rounded to four decimal places) in certain instances as provided in this Article 10.

(b) If a transaction described in clause (2) of the definition of Change of Control occurs on or prior to October 1, 2012, the Company shall give notice to the Trustee and all Holders (i) at least ten scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date of such transaction and (ii) within 15 days after the actual Effective Date of such Change of Control. If a Holder elects to convert Notes at any time following the notice described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence until the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date corresponding to such Change of Control as set forth in Section 11.01, such Holder shall be entitled to receive for each $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes converted, in addition to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as described below; provided that if the Stock Price is greater than $[ ] per share (subject in each case to adjustment as described below) or if the Stock Price is less than $[ ] per share (subject to adjustment), the number of Additional Shares shall be zero. The number of Additional Shares shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the Effective Date and the Stock Price; provided that if the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year. The Additional Shares will be delivered to Holders who elect to convert their Notes in connection with an

applicable Change of Control on the later of (i) five Business Days following the Effective Date or (ii) the Conversion Settlement Date for those Notes.

The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Schedule A hereto and set forth in the proviso in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall 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 Company’s obligation to deliver Additional Shares shall be subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth Section 10.07 and Section 10.15.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall not exceed [ ] shares per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 10.07 and Section 10.15.

(d) Promptly following the Effective Date, the Company shall calculate the Stock Price and the number of Additional Shares based on the applicable Stock Price and Effective Date. No less than five Business Days following the Effective Date, the Company shall notify the Trustee of the results of such calculations and notify the Holders of the Stock Price and the number of Additional Shares per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes. The Company shall issue a press release containing the information described in this paragraph and publish such information on its website.

Section 10.02. Exercise of Conversion Privilege.

(a) In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the Holder of any Note to be converted shall surrender such Note, duly endorsed in blank, at any office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, accompanied by a duly signed conversion notice substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A stating that the Holder elects to convert such Note or, if less than the entire Principal Amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted. The date a Holder complies with these requirements for any Notes shall be the “Conversion Date” with respect to such Notes.

(b) Notes surrendered for conversion by a Holder after the close of business on any Regular Record Date but prior to the next Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment in an amount equal to the interest that the Holder is to receive on the Notes on such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that no such payment need be made (1) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date, (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date or (3) unless any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note and then only to the extent of such overdue interest.

(c) Notes shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Notes as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common

Stock at such time. The Company shall issue and deliver to the Trustee, for delivery to the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, or cash in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 10.04, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 10.05 and any Redemption Make Whole Amount as required by Section 10.08 on the “Conversion Settlement Date,” which shall be as promptly as practicable, but no later than the fifth Business Day following the Conversion Date; provided that if the Company elects cash settlement pursuant to Section 10.04, the Conversion Settlement Date shall be the third Business Day following the determination of the Conversion Average Price.

(d) Delivery to Holders of the full number of shares of Common Stock, or cash in lieu thereof, into which the Notes are convertible pursuant to this Article 10, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 10.05 and any Redemption Make Whole Amount as required by Section 10.08 shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes. Accordingly, except to the extent of any such Redemption Make Whole Amount, any accrued but unpaid interest shall be deemed to be paid in full upon conversion, rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

(e) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon such conversion of Restricted Notes shall bear restrictive legends substantially in the form of the legends required to be set forth on the Restricted Notes pursuant to Section 2.07 and shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in such legends. Neither the Trustee nor any agent maintained for the purpose of such conversion shall have any responsibility for the inclusion or content of any such restrictive legends on such Common Stock; provided, however, that the Trustee or any agent maintained for the purpose of such conversion shall have provided, to the Company or to the Company’s transfer agent for such Common Stock, prior to or concurrently with a request to the Company to deliver such Common Stock, written notice that the Notes delivered for conversion are Restricted Notes.

(f) In the case of any Note which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations in an aggregate Principal Amount equal to the unconverted portion of the Principal Amount of such Note. A Note may be converted in part, but only if the Principal Amount of such Note to be converted is any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 and the Principal Amount of such Note to remain outstanding after such conversion is equal to U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(g) If shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted Note, or Notes to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted Note in part only, are to be registered in a name other than that of the Beneficial Owner of such Restricted Note, then such Holder must deliver to the Conversion Agent a Surrender Certificate, dated the date of surrender of such Restricted Note and signed by such Beneficial Owner, as to compliance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to such Restricted Note. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent shall be required to register in a name other than that of the Beneficial Owner, shares of Common Stock or Notes issued upon conversion of any such Restricted Note not so accompanied by a properly completed Surrender Certificate.

Section 10.03. Limitation on Beneficial Ownership

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person will be entitled to acquire Beneficial Ownership of shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt would cause any Person to become, directly or indirectly, a Beneficial Owner of more than the Specified Percentage of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time. With respect to any conversion prior to October 1, 2011, the “Specified Percentage” shall be 4.9%, and with respect to any conversion thereafter until Stated Maturity, the Specified Percentage shall be 9.9%. Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in any Person becoming the Beneficial Owner of more than the Specified Percentage of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time. If any delivery of shares of Common Stock owed to any Person upon conversion is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of these limitations, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and it shall deliver such shares as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than two Trading Days after, any such Person gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in any Person being the Beneficial Owner of more than the Specified Percentage of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Beneficial Owner” as used in this Section 10.03 shall not include (i) with respect to any Global Note, the nominee of the Depositary or any Person having an account with the Depositary or its nominee or (ii) with respect to any Non-global Note, the Holder of such Non-global Note unless, in each case, such nominee, account holder or Holder shall also be a Beneficial Owner with respect to such Note.

Section 10.04. Cash Settlement Option

Upon conversion, the Company shall have the right to deliver, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock. The Company shall inform converting Holders through the Trustee no later than the Business Day prior to the first day of the Conversion Averaging Period if it elects to pay cash in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock and shall specify in such notice the percentage of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable for which it will pay cash, unless it has already informed the Holders of its election in a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.03.

If the Company elects to pay cash upon conversion, such payment will be based on the Conversion Average Price of the Common Stock. If the Company elects cash settlement, the Conversion Settlement Date on which it will deliver to converting Holders the cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, together with the cash or shares, if applicable, with respect to any Redemption Make Whole Amount, shall be the third Business Day following the determination of the Conversion Average Price. The Company shall also deliver cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any conversion of Notes based upon the Conversion Average Price.

Section 10.05. Fractions of Shares.

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Note or Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes (or specified portions

thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Note or Notes (or specified portions thereof), unless Section 10.04 shall apply, the Company shall calculate and pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Sale Price at the close of business on the Conversion Date (or round up the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Note or Notes to the nearest whole share).

Section 10.06. Exchange in Lieu of Conversion

When a Holder surrenders Notes for conversion, the Company may, unless it has called the relevant Notes for redemption, direct the Conversion Agent to surrender, on or prior to the date two Business Days following the Conversion Date, such Notes to a financial institution designated by the Company for exchange in lieu of conversion. The Company must notify such financial institution of the applicable Conversion Date. In order to accept any such Notes, the designated institution must agree to deliver, in exchange for such Notes, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect at such time, or at its option, cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in lieu thereof, calculated based on the Conversion Average Price, plus cash for any fractional shares.

If the designated institution accepts any such Notes, it will deliver the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock (and cash, if any), or cash in lieu thereof, to the Conversion Agent and the Conversion Agent will deliver those shares or cash to the Holder. Any Notes exchanged by the designated institution will remain outstanding. If the designated institution agrees to accept any Notes for exchange but does not timely deliver the related consideration, the Company will, as promptly as practical thereafter, but not later than (1) the fifth Business Day following the Conversion Date, or (2) if the designated institution elects to deliver cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, the third Business Day following the determination of the Conversion Average Price, convert the Notes and deliver shares of Common Stock, or, at the Company’s option cash in lieu thereof based on such Conversion Average Price.

If the designated institution declines to accept any Notes surrendered for exchange, the Company will convert those Notes into shares of Common Stock, or cash in lieu thereof at the option of the Company.

Section 10.07. Adjustment of Conversion Rate.

The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:

(a) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution, or the Record Date for such subdivision or combination, as the case may be, shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,


CR₀ =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock, as the case may be

CR₁ =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the ex-date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock, as the case may be

OS₀ =		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the ex-date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock, as the case may be

OS₁ =		the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after the ex-date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock, as the case may be

If, after any such Record Date, any dividend or distribution is not in fact paid or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not subdivided or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such Record Date had not been fixed.

(b) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock for a period expiring 45 days or less from the date of issuance of such rights or warrants at a price per share less than the average of the Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the Record Date shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,


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

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

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

X =		the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights

Y =		the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights divided by the average of the Sale Prices of the


		Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the ex-date for such distribution

If, after any such Record Date, any such rights, options or warrants are not in fact issued, or are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date such rights, options or warrants expire, or the date the Board of Directors determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if the unexercised rights, options or warrants had never been granted or such Record Date had not been fixed, as the case may be.

(c) In case the Company shall pay a dividend or distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all holders of its Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the Record Date for such dividend or distribution shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,


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

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

SP₀ =		the Current Market Price

C =		the amount in cash per share distributed by the Company to holders of Common Stock

In the event that C is greater than or equal to SP₀, in lieu of the adjustment contemplated, Holders will be entitled to participate ratably in the cash distribution as though their Notes had been converted to shares of Common Stock on the applicable date of calculation for the amounts to be received by holders of Common Stock. If after any such Record Date, any such dividend or distribution is not in fact made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date of the Board of Directors determines not to make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such Record Date had not been fixed.

(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock or other property (including cash or assets or securities, but excluding (i) any rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 10.07(b), (ii) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash, (iii) any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 10.07(a) or 10.07(e), and (iv) mergers or consolidations to which Section 10.15 applies), the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the Record Date for such dividend or distribution shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,


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

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

SP₀ =		the Current Market Price

FMV =		the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the ex-date for such distribution

In the event that FMV is greater than or equal to SP₀, in lieu of the adjustment contemplated, Holders will be entitled to participate ratably in the relevant distribution as though their Notes had been converted to shares of Common Stock on the applicable date of calculation for the amounts to be received by holders of Common Stock. If after any such Record Date, any such dividend or distribution is not in fact made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date of the Board of Directors determines not to make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such Record Date had not been fixed.

Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):

(i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock,

(ii) are not exercisable, and

(iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock

shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 10.07(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.07(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and Record Date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.07(d):

(1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per

share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrant (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and

(2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued.

For purposes of this Section 10.07(d) and Section 10.07(a) and 10.07(b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.07(d) applies that also includes shares of Common Stock or a subdivision or combination of Common Stock to which Section 10.07(a) applies, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 10.07(b) applies (or any combination thereof), shall be deemed instead to be:

(1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants to which Section 10.07(a) and 10.07(b) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Rate increase required by this 10.07(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by

(2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate increase required by Section 10.07(a) and 10.07(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except that any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date” within the meaning of Section 10.07(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution.

(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of Capital Stock of, or similar equity interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on the fifteenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,


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

CR₁ =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the fifteenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off

FMV₀ =		the average of the Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common


		Stock over the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the fifth Trading Day immediately following the effective date of the Spin-Off

MP₀ =		the average of the Sale Prices of the Common Stock on the 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the fifth Trading Day immediately following the effective date of the Spin-Off

If after any such Record Date, any such distribution is not in fact made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such Record Date had not been fixed.

(f) In case the Company or any Subsidiary purchases all or any portion of the Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer and the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Current Market Price per share on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate shall be will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,


CR₀ =		the Conversion Rate in effect on the Expiration Date

CR₁ =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Date

FMV =		the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for shares of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Date (the “Purchased Shares”)

OS₁ =		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date less any Purchased Shares

OS₀ =		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date, plus any Purchased Shares

SP₁ =		the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date

Such increase (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. 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 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. If the application of this Section 10.07(f) to

any tender or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender or exchange offer under this Section 10.07(f).

(g) In case of a tender or exchange offer made by a Person other than the Company or any Subsidiary for an amount that increases the offeror’s ownership of Common Stock to more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Stock outstanding and shall involve the payment by such Person of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that as of the last date (the “Offer Expiration Date”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it shall have been amended) exceeds the Sale Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date, and in which, as of the Offer Expiration Date the Board of Directors is not recommending rejection of the offer, the Conversation Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,


CR₀ =		the Conversion Rate in effect on the Offer Expiration Date

CR₁ =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Offer Expiration Date

FMV=		the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the aggregate consideration payable to holders of Common Stock based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Date (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Accepted Purchased Shares”)

OS₁ =		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Offer Expiration Date less any Accepted Purchased Shares

OS₀ =		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Offer Expiration Date, including any Accepted Purchased Shares

SP₁ =		the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Offer Expiration Date. In the event that such Person is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but such Person is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment described in this Section 10.07(g) shall not be made if, as of the Offer Expiration Date, the offering documents with respect to such offer disclose a plan or intention to cause the Company to engage in any transaction described in Section 10.15.

(h) “Current Market Price” of the Common Stock on any day means the average of the Sale Price of the Common Stock for each of the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on the earlier of the day in question and the day before the ex-date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation.

(A)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Rate are called for pursuant to this Section 10.07, such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 10.07 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(i) “Ex-date,” when used:

(A) with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the shares of the Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, 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 Date or Offer Expiration Date of such offer.

(j) “fair market value” shall mean the amount that a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction.

(k) For purposes of this Section 10.07, 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 will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(l) Adjustments to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.07 shall be rounded to the fourth decimal point and all other calculations under this Section 10.07 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

(m) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of at least 20 days. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall give notice of the increase to the Holders in the manner provided in Section 12.02 at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect. The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, to the extent permitted by law and subject to applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, in addition to the increases set forth above, as the Board of Directors deems advisable to avoid or diminish

any income tax to holders of 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.

(n) To the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes into Common Stock, each converting Holder shall receive, in addition to shares of Common Stock, the rights under the rights plan corresponding to the shares of Common Stock received upon conversion, unless prior to any conversion, the rights shall have separated from the shares of Common Stock, in which case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as of the date of such separation as if the Company had distributed to all holders of Common Stock shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other property as provided in Section 10.07(d) , subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

Section 10.08. Interest Make Whole Upon Conversion.

Redemption Make Whole Amount. Any holders who convert Notes after a notice of redemption has been sent pursuant to the terms of Article 3 and prior to October 1, 2012 shall receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes converted, in addition to a number of shares of Common Stock determined pursuant to Section 10.01, or cash in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 10.04, the Redemption Make Whole Amount. The “Redemption Make Whole Amount” shall equal the present value of the interest on the Notes converted that would have been payable for the period from and including the Redemption Date, to but excluding October 1, 2012.

The Redemption Make Whole Amount shall be calculated by discounting the amount of such interest on a semi-annual basis using a discount rate equal to 3.0% plus the arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings “This Week” and “Last Week” published in the Statistical Release under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the period from and including the Redemption Date to but excluding October 1, 2012. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the applicable rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. For the purpose of calculating the applicable rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Redemption Make Whole Amount shall be used.

The term “Statistical Release” shall mean the statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under this Section 10.08 , then such other reasonably comparable index that the Company shall designate.

The Company may pay the Redemption Make Whole Amount in cash or in shares of Common Stock, with the number of such shares determined based on the average of the Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date. If the Company elects to pay the Redemption Make Whole Amount in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares deliverable by the Company, together with the shares of

Common Stock deliverable upon conversion pursuant to Section 10.01, shall not exceed [ ] shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes, subject to the same adjustments as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.07 and Section 10.15, and the Company shall deliver cash with respect to the remainder of the Redemption Make Whole Amount, if any.

Section 10.09. Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate.

Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided:

(a) the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 10.07 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall promptly be filed with the Trustee and with each Conversion Agent; and

(b) upon each such adjustment, a notice stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate shall be required, and as soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be provided by the Company to all Holders in accordance with Section 12.02. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or the information and calculations contained therein, except to exhibit the same to any Holder of Notes desiring inspection thereof at its office during normal business hours, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment in the Conversion Rate unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such a certificate. Until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate, the Trustee and each Conversion Agent may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which the Trustee has knowledge of remains in effect.

Section 10.10. Notice of Certain Corporate Action.

In case:

(1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; or

(2) the Company shall authorize the granting to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(3) of any reclassification of the Common Stock, or of any consolidation, merger or share exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety; or

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

then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Notes pursuant to Section 4.02, and shall cause to be provided to all Holders in accordance with Section 12.02, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in

clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights, options 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, rights, options or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Neither the failure to give such notice or the notice referred to in the following paragraph nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in clauses (1) through (4) of this Section 10.10. If at the time the Trustee shall not be the conversion agent, a copy of such notice shall also forthwith be filed by the Company with the Trustee.

The Company shall cause to be filed at the Corporate Trust Office and each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Notes pursuant to Section 4.02, and shall cause to be provided to all Holders in accordance with Section 12.02, notice of any tender offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock at or about the time that such notice of tender offer is provided to the public generally.

Section 10.11. Company to Reserve Common Stock.

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Notes, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Notes.

Section 10.12. Taxes on Conversions.

Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes and duties, excluding any taxes relating to the net or gross income or gain to the Holder on conversion, that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Note or Notes to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.

Section 10.13. Covenant as to Common Stock.

The Company agrees that all shares of Common Stock which may be delivered upon conversion of Notes, upon such delivery, will have been duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable and, except as provided in Section 10.12, the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

In case of any recapitalization, reclassification or change in the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination), a consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with or into any other Person, any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or 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 the Common Stock, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Note then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Note shall be convertible as specified in Section 10.01, to convert such Note only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, transfer or statutory share exchange by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, transfer or statutory share exchange, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not (A) a Person with which the Company consolidated or merged with or into or which merged into or with the Company or to which such conveyance, sale, transfer or lease was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or (B) an Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, transfer or statutory share exchange (provided that if the holders of the Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer, or lease for each share of Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, transfer or statutory share exchange by others than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“Non-electing Share”), then for the purpose of this Section 10.15 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, transfer or statutory share exchange by the holders of each Non-electing Share shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts so receivable per share by the Non-electing Shares upon the occurrence of such transaction or event). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 10.

The above provisions of this Section 10.15 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, conveyances, sales, transfers or leases. Notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture shall be given by the Company to the Holder of each Note as provided in Section 12.02 within 20 days after execution thereof. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property or cash receivable by Holders of Notes upon the conversion of their Notes after any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease or to any such adjustment, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto, which the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee.

Section 10.16. Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions.

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same, or whether a supplemental indenture need be entered into. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Stock, or of any other Notes or property or cash, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and it or they do not make any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make or calculate any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or share certificates or other Notes or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article.

ARTICLE 11

Repurchase of Notes at the Option of the Holder upon a fundamental change

Section 11.01. Right to Require Repurchase upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs, each Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase, and upon the exercise of such right the Company shall repurchase, for cash some or all of such Holder’s Notes not theretofore called for redemption, or any portion of the Principal Amount thereof that is equal to U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof (provided that no single Note may be repurchased in part unless the portion of the Principal Amount of such Note to be outstanding after such repurchase is equal to U.S. $1,000 or integral multiples of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof). The Company shall offer a payment (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”) equal to 100% of the Principal Amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, in which case the Company will pay the full amount of

accrued and unpaid interest payable on such Interest Payment Date to the holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Regular Record Date. Whenever in this Indenture there is a reference, in any context, to the Principal Amount of any Note as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price payable in respect of such Note to the extent that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in any provision of this Indenture shall not be construed as excluding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in those provisions of this Indenture when such express mention is not made.

(b) Within 20 days following any Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Fundamental Change and stating:

(i) the repurchase date, which shall be a date specified by the Company that is not less than 20 nor more than 35 Business Days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”);

(ii) the time by which the repurchase right must be exercised, which shall be the close of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(iii) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(iv) a description of the procedure which a Holder must follow to exercise a repurchase right, and the place or places where, or procedures by which, such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(v) that on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will become due and payable upon each such Note designated by the Holder to be repurchased, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date;

(vi) the Conversion Rate then in effect, the date on which the right to convert the Notes to be repurchased will terminate (which shall be the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) and the place or places where, or procedures by which, such Notes may be surrendered for conversion;

(vii) the place or places that the Note with the “Option of Holder to Purchase” as specified on the reverse of the Note shall be delivered;

(viii) that any Note not tendered shall continue to accrue interest;

(ix) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the Principal Amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a written statement that (a) states such Holder is withdrawing its election to have the Notes purchased, (b) if certificated Notes have been issued, states the certificate number of the

withdrawn Notes, (c) if the Notes are not certificated, contains such statements as required by the Depositary and (d) states the Principal Amount, if any, that remains subject to the repurchase notice; and

(x) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in Principal Amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in Principal Amount or an integral multiple thereof.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any Holder’s right to exercise a repurchase right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Notes.

If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Section 11.01 are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.

(c) To exercise a repurchase right pursuant to this Section 11.01, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee on or before the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (i) written notice of the Holder’s exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the name of the Holder, the Principal Amount of the Notes to be repurchased (and, if any Note is to repurchased in part, the certificate number thereof, the portion of the Principal Amount thereof to be repurchased and the name of the Person in which the portion thereof to remain outstanding after such repurchase is to be registered) and a statement that an election to exercise the repurchase right is being made thereby and (ii) the Notes with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised. Holders may withdraw such election at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The right of the Holder to convert the Notes with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised shall continue until 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

(d) In the event a repurchase right shall be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered, deposit with or pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in cash for payment by the Trustee to the Holder on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; provided, however, that installments of interest that mature on or prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date shall be payable in cash to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date; and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate Principal Amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company.

(e) If any Note (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase shall not be so paid on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Principal Amount of such Note (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall, until paid, bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law from the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at the rate specified therein, and each Note shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the Principal Amount of such Note (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for.

(f) Any Note which is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (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 its attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate Principal Amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the Principal Amount of the Note so surrendered; provided that each such new Note shall be in Principal Amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

(g) All Notes delivered for repurchase shall be delivered to the Trustee to be canceled at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.12.

(h) In connection with any purchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 11.01, the Company will comply with Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act to the extent applicable at that time.

(i) No Notes may be purchased by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.01 if the Principal Amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or prior to such date.

Section 11.02. Repurchase of Notes at the Option of Holders.

(a) Each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000 Principal Amount, in cash, on October 1, 2012, October 1, 2017 and October 1, 2022 (each a “Five Year Repurchase Date”), at a repurchase price of 100% of the Principal Amount of the Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Five Year Repurchase Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Five Year Repurchase Date is during the Record Date Period, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on the applicable Regular Record Date and the amount of any such interest to be paid shall be excluded from the repurchase price.

(b) Not less than 20 Business Days prior to each Five Year Repurchase Date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to all Holders of record on such date (with a copy to the Trustee) a Five Year Repurchase Notice. No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes.

(c) To exercise a repurchase right pursuant to this Section 11.02, a Holder shall deliver to the Paying Agent, during the period beginning 20 Business Days prior to the applicable Five Year Repurchase Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the applicable Five Year Repurchase Date, (i) a written notice of repurchase (the “Five Year Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note duly completed (if the Note is certificated) or stating the following (if the Note is represented by a Global Note): (A) the certificate number of the Note which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased (if the Note is certificated) or that the relevant Five Year Repurchase Notice complies with the appropriate Depositary procedures (if the Note is represented by Global Note), (B) the portion of the Principal Amount of the Note which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of

$1,000 (provided that the remaining principal amount of Notes not subject to repurchase must be in an integral multiple of $1,000) and (C) that such Note shall be repurchased as of the Five Year Repurchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Note and in this Indenture; together with (ii) such Notes duly endorsed for transfer (if the Note if certificated) or book entry transfer of such Note (if such Note is represented by a Global Note). The delivery of such Note to the Paying Agent with, or at any time after delivery of, the Five Year Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of the Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the repurchase price therefore; provided, however, that such repurchase price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 11.02 only if the Notes so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the Five Year Repurchase Notice. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Note for repurchase shall be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error.

Holders may withdraw such election if such Holder shall deliver to the Paying Agent, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the applicable Five Year Repurchase Date, a notice of withdrawal stating the following: (A) the certificate numbers of the Notes to be withdrawn (if the Note is certificated) or that the notice of withdrawal complies with the appropriate Depositary procedures (if the Note is represented by Global Note), (B) the Principal Amount of the withdrawn Notes and (C) the Principal Amount of Notes of such Holder, if any, that remains subject to the Five Year Repurchase Notice, which must be in Principal Amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

(d) The Company, if so requested, shall repurchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 11.02, a portion of a Note, 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 repurchase of all of a Note also apply to the repurchase of such portion of such Note.

(e) No Notes may be redeemed by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.02 if the Principal Amount of the Notes has been accelerated (other than as a result of a failure to pay the repurchase price), and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or prior to the applicable Five Year Repurchase Date.

(f) The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Five Year Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(g) The Company may arrange for a third party to purchase any Notes (provided that the Trustee is so notified by the Company promptly) for which the Company receives a valid Five Year Repurchase Notice that is not withdrawn, in the manner and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein. If a third party purchases any Notes under these circumstances, interest will continue to accrue on those Notes and such Notes will continue to be outstanding after the Five Year Repurchase Date. The third party subsequently may resell such purchased Notes to other investors.

(h) Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.02 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder (i) on the Five Year Repurchase Date if the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Notes to the Paying Agent is effected prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Business Day prior to the Five Year Repurchase Date, and (ii) if delivered later, within two (2) Business Days

following the time of the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Note. Payment of the repurchase price for a Note for which a Five Year Repurchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn is conditioned upon book-entry transfer or delivery of the Notes, together with necessary endorsements, to the Paying Agent.

(i) In connection with any purchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 11.02, the Company will comply with Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act to the extent applicable at that time. If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Section 11.02 are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.

Section 11.03. Consolidation, Merger, etc.

In the case of any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with or into any other Person, any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety to which Section 10.15 applies, in which the Common Stock of the Company is changed or exchanged as a result into the right to receive shares of stock and other property or assets (including cash) that includes shares of Common Stock of the Company or common stock of another Person that are, or upon issuance will be, traded on a United States national securities exchange or approved for trading on an established automated over-the-counter trading market in the United States and such shares constitute at the time such change or exchange becomes effective in excess of 50% of the aggregate fair market value of such shares of stock and other securities, property and assets (including cash) (as determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive and binding), then the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or combination or which acquires the properties or assets (including cash) of the Company, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) modifying the provisions of this Indenture relating to the right of Holders to cause the Company to repurchase the Notes following a Fundamental Change, including the applicable provisions of this Article 11 and the definitions of the Common Stock and Change of Control, as appropriate, and such other related definitions set forth herein as determined in good faith by the Company (which determination shall be conclusive and binding), to make such provisions apply in the event of a subsequent Fundamental Change to the common stock and the issuer thereof if different from the Company and Common Stock of the Company (in lieu of the Company and the Common Stock of the Company).

For United States federal income tax purposes, the Company further agrees, and by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note each Holder and any Beneficial Owner of a Note shall be deemed to

agree (i) to treat the fair market value of the Common Stock received upon the conversion of a Note as a contingent payment for purposes of the contingent payment regulations, (ii) to accrue interest with respect to outstanding Notes as original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes (i.e., Tax Original Issue Discount) according to the “noncontingent bond method,” set forth in the contingent payment regulations, using the comparable yield of 15% compounded semi-annually, and (iii) to be bound by the projected payment schedule determined by the Company pursuant to the contingent payment regulations.
