Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends or endorsements as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or to conform to usage or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

Each Global Note shall represent such principal amount of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect repurchases, conversions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of any Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the holder of such Notes in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on each Global Note shall be made to the Depositary or its nominee of such Note on the date of payment, unless a record date or other means of determining holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.

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

The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof.

The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than twenty-five (25) days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such special record date and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be transmitted to each holder at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than ten (10) days prior to such special record date.

If required by Sections 3.06(d), 3.06(e) or 5.02 of this Indenture, each Note shall pay Additional Interest in the manner and to the Persons set forth by such Sections. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or in respect of, any Note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of “Additional Interest” provided for in Sections 3.06(d), 3.06(e) and 5.02 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Interest is, was or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of such Sections, and express mention of the payment of Additional Interest (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Interest in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

(a) A copy of the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors in or pursuant to which the terms and form of the Notes were established, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect as of the date of such certificate, and if the terms and form of such Notes are established by an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to general authorization of the Board of Directors, such Officers’ Certificate;

(iii) that such Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding of law or equity; and

(iv) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of such Notes have been complied with.

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

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

(b) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note, which does not involve the issuance of a definitive Note, shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

be waived by written consent of the Company, and the holder of each such Restricted Security, by such holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.06(c) and Section 2.06(d), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security.

Until the date (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) that is one year after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, or such other period of time as permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereto, any certificate evidencing such Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion thereof which shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.06(d), if applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless such Notes have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with notice thereof to the Trustee):

THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE.

OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT; AND (4) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS NOTE IS TRANSFERRED (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 2(D) ABOVE ) PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES OF THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY UNDER RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION) A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 2(D) ABOVE OR UPON ANY TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE UNDER RULE 144 SUCH THAT THE NOTE IS NO LONGER CONSIDERED “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS DEFINED UNDER RULE 144 (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION). THE INDENTURE CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE TRUSTEE TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING RESTRICTION.

No transfer of any Note prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be registered by the Note Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer has been checked.

Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Note Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.06, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.06(c). The Company shall notify the Trustee upon the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date and promptly after a Registration Statement with respect to the Notes or the Common Stock has been declared effective under the Securities Act.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part except (i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary and (ii) for transfers of portions of a Global Note in definitive form made upon request of a member of, or a participant in, the Depositary (for itself or on behalf of a Beneficial Owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section.

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

If at any time the Depositary for a Global Note (i) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Note or (ii) ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act, the Company may appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Note. If (A) a successor Depositary for such Global Note is not appointed by the

Company within ninety (90) days after the Company receives such notice or the Depositary ceases to be a registered clearing agency, (B) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee that it elects to cause the issuance of Notes in definitive form in exchange for all or any part of the Notes represented by a Global Note, subject to the procedures of the Depositary, or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Note Registrar has received a request from the Depositary for the issuance of Notes in definitive form in exchange for a Global Note, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate for the authentication and delivery of Notes, will authenticate and deliver Notes in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, and upon delivery of the Global Note to the Trustee such Global Note shall be canceled.

Definitive Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such definitive Notes are so registered.

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

None of the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of Beneficial Ownership interests of a Global Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such Beneficial Ownership interests.

(d) Until the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless such Common Stock is issued upon conversion of a Note that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act, or such Common Stock has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company with written notice thereof to the Trustee and any transfer agent for the Common Stock):

THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. THE HOLDER HEREOF AGREES THAT (1) IT WILL NOT WITHIN THE LATER OF (X) SIX MONTHS (OR, IF THE COMPANY HAS NOT SATISFIED THE CURRENT PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144, ONE YEAR) AFTER THE LAST DATE OF ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THE NOTES (INCLUDING THROUGH THE EXERCISE OF THE OPTION TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL NOTES) UPON THE CONVERSION OF WHICH THIS SECURITY WAS ISSUED AND (Y) 90 DAYS AFTER IT CEASES TO BE AN AFFILIATE (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) OF FOREST CITY ENTERPRISES, INC. (THE “COMPANY”), OFFER, RESELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY, EXCEPT (A) TO THE COMPANY OR TO ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) UNDER ANY AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING RULE 144 (IF AVAILABLE), OR (C) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (AND THAT CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER); (2) PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSES 1(A) OR 1(C) ABOVE), IT WILL FURNISH TO ▇▇▇▇▇ FARGO SHAREOWNER SERVICES, AS TRANSFER AGENT (OR A SUCCESSOR TRANSFER AGENT), SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS THE TRANSFER AGENT 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; AND (3) IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY IS TRANSFERRED (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 1(C) ABOVE) PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES OF THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY UNDER RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION) A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE TRANSFER OF THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 1(C) ABOVE OR UPON ANY TRANSFER OF THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY UNDER RULE 144 SUCH THAT THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY IS NO LONGER CONSIDERED “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS DEFINED UNDER RULE 144 (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION).

Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.06(d).

(e) Any Note or Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes that, prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), is purchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the Company or such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Notes or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being “Restricted Securities” (as defined under Rule 144).

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 2.06 to the contrary, in the event Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) is amended to change the one-year period under Rule 144 (or the corresponding period under any successor rule), from and after receipt by the Trustee of the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel provided for in this Section 2.06(f), (i) each reference in Section 2.06(c) to “one year” and in the restrictive legend set forth in such paragraph to “ONE YEAR” shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period, (ii) each reference in Section 2.06(d) to “one year” and in the restrictive legend set forth in such paragraph to “ONE YEAR” shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period and (iii) all corresponding references in the Notes (including the definition of Resale Restriction Termination Date) and the restrictive legends thereon shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period, provided that such changes shall not become effective if they are otherwise prohibited by, or would otherwise cause a violation of, the then-applicable federal securities laws. The provisions of this Section 2.06(f) will not be effective until such time as the Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate have been received by the Trustee hereunder. This Section 2.06(f) shall apply to successive amendments to Rule 144 (or any successor rule) changing the holding period thereunder.

Section 2.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require. Upon the issuance of any substituted Note, the Company or the Trustee may require the payment by the holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Note which has matured or is about to mature or has been tendered for repurchase upon a Fundamental Change or is about to be converted or redeemed shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the

payment or the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 by virtue of the fact that any Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion or redemption or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.08. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Notes in definitive form, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Notes in definitive form but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Notes in definitive form. Without unreasonable delay the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Notes in definitive form (other than in the case of Notes in global form) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 3.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes in definitive form. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Notes in definitive form authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.09. Cancellation of Notes Paid, Etc. All Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, repurchase, conversion, exchange or registration of transfer, shall, if surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent or any Note Registrar or any Conversion Agent, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it, and no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of

canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, after such disposal, shall deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company, at the Company’s written request. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as satisfaction of the debt represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.10. 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 all notices to Noteholders as a convenience to holders of the Notes; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. Until such time as the Company notifies the Trustee to remove the restrictive legend as set forth in Section 2.06(c) from the Notes or a transfer of Notes from a Restricted Global Note to an Unrestricted Global Note is otherwise made pursuant to the terms hereof, the restricted CUSIP will be the CUSIP number for the Notes. At such time as the Company notifies the Trustee to remove the restrictive legend as set forth in Section 2.06(c) from the Notes, such legend shall be deemed removed from any Global Notes and an unrestricted CUSIP number for the Notes shall be deemed to be the CUSIP number for the Notes.

Section 2.11. Additional Notes, Repurchases. The Company may, without the consent of the Noteholders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than with respect to the accrual of interest from the date of original issuance) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, which will form the same series with the Notes initially issued hereunder; provided that, if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional notes will have a separate CUSIP number. The Company may also from time to time repurchase the Notes in tender offers, open market purchases or negotiated transactions without prior notice to Noteholders.

Section 2.12. Automatic Exchange from Restricted Global Note to Unrestricted Global Note. Beneficial interests in a Global Note or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes that is subject to restrictions set out in Section 2.06(c) or Section 2.06(d), as applicable (including the legend set forth in Section 2.06(c) or Section 2.06(d), as applicable) (the “Restricted Global Note” or “Restricted Common Stock,” as applicable), shall be automatically exchanged into beneficial interests in an unrestricted Global Note or stock certificate representing unrestricted Common Stock, as applicable, that is no longer subject to the restrictions set out in Section 2.06(c) or Section 2.06(d), as applicable (including removal of the legend set forth in Section 2.06(c) or Section 2.06(d), as applicable) (the “Unrestricted Global Note” or “Unrestricted Common Stock,” as applicable), without any action required by or on behalf of the holder (the “Automatic Exchange”). In order to effect such exchange, the Company shall at least fifteen (15) days but not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, deliver a notice of Automatic Exchange (an “Automatic Exchange Notice”) to each holder at such holder’s address appearing in the Note Register or register maintained at the registrar for Common Stock, as applicable, with a copy to the Trustee

or transfer agent for Common Stock, as applicable. The Automatic Exchange Notice shall identify the Notes or Common Stock , as applicable, subject to the Automatic Exchange and shall state: (1) the date of the Automatic Exchange; (2) the section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Automatic Exchange shall occur; (3) the “CUSIP” number of the Restricted Global Note or Restricted Common Stock, as applicable, from which such holders’ beneficial interests shall be transferred and (4) the “CUSIP” number of the Unrestricted Global Note or Unrestricted Common Stock, as applicable, into which such holders’ beneficial interests shall be transferred. At the Company’s request on no less than five (5) days’ prior notice, the Trustee shall deliver, or, with respect to Common Stock, the Company shall cause the transfer agent to deliver, in the Company’s name and at its expense, the Automatic Exchange Notice to each holder at such holder’s address appearing in the Note Register or register maintained at the registrar for Common Stock, as applicable; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee or transfer agent, as applicable, a Company Order and an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee or transfer agent, as applicable, give the Automatic Exchange Notice (in the name and at the expense of the Company) and setting forth the information to be stated in the Automatic Exchange Notice as provided in the preceding sentence. As a condition to any such exchange pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Trustee or transfer agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive from the Company, and rely conclusively without any liability, upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Company, in form and in substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or transfer agent, as applicable, to the effect that such transfer of beneficial interests to the Unrestricted Global Note or Unrestricted Common Stock, as applicable, shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act. Upon such exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.12, (i) with respect to the Notes, the Note Registrar shall endorse the schedule of increases and decreases in the Global Note to the relevant Notes and reflect on its books and records the date of such transfer and a decrease and increase, respectively, in the principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Note and the Unrestricted Global Note, respectively, equal to the principal amount of beneficial interests transferred or (ii) with respect to Common Stock, the registrar for Common Stock shall reflect on its books and records the date of such transfer and a decrease and increase, respectively, in the number of shares of the applicable Restricted Common Stock and the Unrestricted Common Stock, respectively, equal to the beneficial interests transferred. If an Unrestricted Global Note is not then outstanding at the time of the Automatic Exchange, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver an Unrestricted Global Note to the Depositary. Following any such transfer pursuant to this Section 2.12, the relevant Restricted Global Note or Restricted Common Stock, as applicable, shall be cancelled.

The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 3.05. Existence. Subject to Article 10, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.

Section 3.06. Rule 144A Information Requirement and Annual Reports.

(a) At any time the Company is not subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any of the Notes shall, at such time, constitute “Restricted Securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly provide to the Trustee and shall, upon written request, provide to any holder, Beneficial Owner or prospective purchaser of such Notes, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Notes pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company shall take such further action as any holder or Beneficial Owner of such Notes may reasonably request to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder or Beneficial Owner to sell such Notes in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time.

(b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within fifteen (15) days after the filing of the same with the Commission, copies of the quarterly and annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports, if any, which the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 314(a).

(c) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate).

(d) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date which is six (6) months after the date of original issuance of the Notes, the Company fails to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (other than current reports on Form 8-K), and the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by holders other than the Company’s affiliates (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes), the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes. Such Additional Interest will accrue on the Notes at an annual rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Notes outstanding for each day during such period for which the Company’s failure to file continues; provided that the Company shall have fourteen (14) days, in the aggregate, to cure any such late filings before any Additional Interest shall accrue.

(e) If, at any time after the 365th day after the last date of original issuance of the Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (i) the restrictive legend on the Notes has not been removed in accordance with Section 2.06(c) or 2.12, and (ii) the Notes are not freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 without volume restrictions by holders other than the Company’s affiliates (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes), the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes.

(f) Additional Interest payable in accordance with Section 3.06(d) or 3.06(e) will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes but in no event shall Additional Interest under Sections 3.06(d), 3.06(e), 5.02 and 5.07 in respect of a reporting Default exceed in the aggregate 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Notes outstanding.

Section 3.07. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of, or interest and Additional Interest on, the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within thirty (30) days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or Default, its status and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 3.09. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee or as necessary, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.

Section 3.10. Additional Interest Notification.

such Additional Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled to them, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

Nonrecourse Debt or SPE Recourse Debt) of the Company or any such subsidiary with a principal amount then outstanding in excess of $50 million, whether such Debt now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default or defaults shall constitute a failure to pay any portion of the principal of such Debt when due and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect thereto and shall have resulted in such Debt becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable or constitutes the failure to pay any portion of the principal of such Debt when due and payable at maturity or by acceleration;

(h) a default or defaults under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of Nonrecourse Debt or SPE Recourse Debt by the Company or any majority owned subsidiary of the Company or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Nonrecourse Debt or SPE Recourse Debt of the Company or any such subsidiary with a principal amount then outstanding in excess of 20% of the aggregate principal or similar amount of all the outstanding Nonrecourse Debt and SPE Recourse Debt of the Company and its subsidiaries, whether such Nonrecourse Debt or SPE Recourse Debt now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default or defaults shall constitute a failure to pay any portion of the principal of such Nonrecourse Debt or SPE Recourse Debt when due and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect thereto or shall have resulted in such Nonrecourse Debt or SPE Recourse Debt becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable;

In case one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or

any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i) or Section 5.01(j) with respect to the Company), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section 7.04, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Noteholders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such holders shall, declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Notes contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i) or Section 5.01(j) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Company, the principal of all the Notes and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) shall be immediately due and payable. This provision, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) upon all Notes and the principal of any and all Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any, and to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) and on such principal at the rate borne by the Notes during the period of such Default) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all Events of Defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.08, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes (except with respect to nonpayment of principal or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, or failure to deliver amounts due upon conversion) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and 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 or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

Payments of any principal, and interest and Additional Interest, that are not made when due shall accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate.

The Company shall notify the Responsible Officer of the Trustee in writing, promptly upon becoming aware thereof (within timeframes prescribed in Section 3.08), of any Event of Default by delivering to the Trustee a statement specifying such Event of Default and any action the Company has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the

Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Noteholders, and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Noteholders, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.02. Additional Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary (except as provided in Section 3.06(d) or 3.06(e)), if the Company so elects, the sole remedy of Noteholders for an Event of Default relating to any obligation to file reports as required under Section 3.06 shall, for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default (which will be the sixtieth (60th) day after written notice is provided to the Company in accordance with an Event of Default under Section 5.01(f)), consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at an annual rate equal to (x) 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes for the first 180 days an Event of Default is continuing in such 365-day period and (y) 0.50% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes for the remaining 185 days an Event of Default is continuing in such 365-day period. Additional Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following the occurrence of such Event of Default in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes. The Company may elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy under this Section 5.02 by giving notice to the holders, the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the close of business on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date on which such Event of Default otherwise would occur. If the Company fails to timely give such notice or pay Additional Interest, the Notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 5.01. On the 366th day after such Event of Default (if such violation is not cured or waived prior to such 366th day), the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 5.01. This Section 5.02 shall not affect the rights of the Noteholders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest upon an Event of Default in accordance with this Section, the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 5.01. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.02 to the contrary, for so long as the Company is required to pay Additional Interest pursuant to Section 3.06(d) or 3.06(e), the figure “0.25%” in clause (x) above shall be deemed to be replaced with the figure “0.00%” and the figure “0.50%” in clause (y) above shall be deemed to be replaced with the figure “0.00%.”

Section 5.03. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. In the event that the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding hereunder have declared the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, the Notes, to be due and payable immediately in accordance with Section 5.01, and the Company shall have failed forthwith to pay such amounts, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, after being furnished indemnity satisfactory to it pursuant to Section 6.01, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid (including such further amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or willful misconduct), and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final degree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company and collect in

the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company, the property of the Company, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company, upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) and other amounts payable in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company on the Notes, its creditors, or its property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.06 hereof, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property which the holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, 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 Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Noteholder or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

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

compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes.

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

Section 5.04. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 5 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06;

Second, in case the principal of and other amounts under the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on the Notes (including Additional Interest, if any) in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;

Third, in case the principal of and other amounts under the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable, the delivery of shares of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon conversion) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal, such other amounts and interest (including Additional Interest, if any), with interest on the overdue principal, such other amounts (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee), and upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal, such other amounts and interest without preference or priority of principal or such other amounts over interest, or of interest over principal, such other amounts or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal, such other amounts and accrued and unpaid interest; and

Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or as any court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Section 5.05. Proceedings by Noteholders. No holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and

unless also the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding pursuant to Section 5.08; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Note with every other taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Noteholders (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 5.05, each and every Noteholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any Noteholder to receive payment of the principal of, other amounts under and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided in such Note or in this Indenture, or to convert such Note, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Noteholder.

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

Section 5.06. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 5.07. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.07, Section 3.06(f) and Section 5.02, all powers and remedies given by this Article 5 to the Trustee or to the Noteholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Notes to

exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.05, every power and remedy given by this Article 5 or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Trustee or by the Noteholders.

Section 5.08. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Noteholders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 7.04 shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to Notes; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 7.04 may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a Default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, or the principal of or other amounts under, the Notes when due which has not been cured pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.01, (ii) failure by the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon conversion of the Notes; or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected thereby. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 5.08, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 5.09. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence and continuance of a Default of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, transmit to all Noteholders as the names and addresses of such holders appear upon the Note Register, notice of all Defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; and provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on or other amounts due under any of the Notes, then in any such event the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a committee of trust officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Noteholders.

Section 5.10. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the

filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 5.10 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 7.04, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, other amounts under and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Note on or after the due date expressed in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the conversion rights or repurchase rights in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 or Article 15.

ARTICLE 6

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 6.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, except during an Event of Default, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders pursuant to this Indenture unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against loss, liability or expense.

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

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

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

(ii) in the absence of bad faith and willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements

and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);

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

(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined as provided in Section 7.04 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;

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

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment (as to the correctness of amount, entitlement to receive or any other matters relating to payment) or notice effected by the Company or any Paying Agent (unless the Trustee is acting as Paying Agent) or any records maintained by any co-registrar with respect to the Notes;

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

(g) in the absence of written investment direction from the Company, all cash received by the Trustee shall be placed in a non-interest bearing trust account. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon or for losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any such investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the party directing such investments prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the party directing such investment to provide timely written investment direction, and the Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of such written investment direction from the Company; and

(h) in the event that the Trustee is also acting as Custodian, Note Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or transfer agent hereunder, the rights and protections

afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 shall also be afforded to such Custodian, Note Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or transfer agent.

None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

Section 6.08. Conflicting Interests of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

Section 6.09. Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 6.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and by transmitting, at the expense of the Company, notice thereof to the Noteholders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) days after the transmitting of such notice of resignation to the Noteholders, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.10, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

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

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.08 within a reasonable time after written request therefor by the Company or by any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months, or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Noteholder, or

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

then, in any such case, the Company may by a Board Resolution remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 5.10, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, as determined in accordance with Section 7.04, may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee which shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within ten (10) days after notice to the Company of such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Noteholder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 6.10(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 6.11.

Section 6.11. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property and funds held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6.08 and be eligible under the provisions of Section 6.09.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 6.11, each of the Company and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Company, shall deliver or cause to be delivered notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Noteholders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. If the Company fails to deliver such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.

Section 6.12. Succession by Merger, Etc. Any corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that in the case of any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such corporation or other entity shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6

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

Section 6.13. Limitation on Rights of Trustee as Creditor. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of the claims against the Company.

Section 6.14. Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the holders of the Notes under this Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance

with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date), unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such proposal specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

ARTICLE 7

CONCERNING THE NOTEHOLDERS

Section 7.01. Action By Noteholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Noteholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Noteholders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Noteholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 8, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Noteholders and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the holders of the Notes, the Company or the Trustee may fix, but shall not be required to, in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Noteholders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice consent, waiver or other action by a holder of any Note shall bind every future holder of the same Note, and the holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted, or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

Section 7.02. Proof of Execution by Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, Section 6.02 and Section 8.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Noteholder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar. The record of any Noteholders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 8.06.

Section 7.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name such Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and

notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, other amounts under and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Note, for conversion of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes following an Event of Default, any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in definitive form in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 7.04. Company-owned Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes that are 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 disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action only Notes that a Responsible Officer knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 7.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, or a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 6.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 7.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 7.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer, irrespective of whether any

notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

(g) impair the right of any holder to receive payment of principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on or other amount payable under such holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s Note;

(h) adversely affect the ranking of the Notes as the senior unsubordinated debt of the Company; or

(i) make any change in the provisions of this Article 9 that require each holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions in Section 5.01 and Section 5.08,

in each case without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected.

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

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Noteholders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. After an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective, the Company shall transmit to the holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all the holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

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

Section 9.04. Notation on Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9 may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may, at the Company’s expense, be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent duly appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 16.10) and delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding, upon surrender of such Notes then outstanding.

Section 9.05. Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to be Furnished to the Trustee. In addition to the documents required by Section 16.05, the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any

supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto complies with the requirements of this Article 9.

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, CONVEYANCE AND LEASE

Section 10.01. Company May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02, the Company shall not consolidate with, merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets and properties to another Person, unless:

(a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”), if not the Company, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture; and

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Upon any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease the resulting, surviving or transferee (by conveyance, lease or otherwise) Person (if not the Company) shall succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture.

For purposes of this Section 10.01, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.

Section 10.02. Successor Corporation to be Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the Successor Company, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on all of the Notes, the due and punctual settlement of the conversion of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company, such Successor Company shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company and the Company shall be released from those obligations, with the same effect as if such Successor Company had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Company instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any

Notes which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes which such Successor Company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Indenture or any successor which shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 10 may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture.

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

Section 10.03. Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to be Given Trustee. No merger, consolidation, sale transfer or lease shall be effective unless the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and any such assumption complies with the provisions of this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 11.01. Discharge of Indenture. When (a) the Company shall deliver to the Note Registrar for cancellation all Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any Notes that have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore canceled, or (b) all the Notes not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Notes Registrar for cancellation shall have become due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date or on any earlier Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Redemption Date or otherwise, and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, in trust, cash or cash and shares of Common Stock, if applicable, sufficient to pay at maturity all of the Notes (other than any Notes that shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) due thereon and to provide for any remaining right of conversion, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect except as to (i) the right of holders to receive payments of principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) and, if applicable, any shares of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) on the Notes and the other rights, duties and obligations of Noteholders, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any, so deposited with the Trustee, (ii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iii) the obligations of the Company under Section 6.06, and the Trustee, on written demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as required by Section 16.05 and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute

proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture; the Company, however, hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Notes.

Section 11.02. Deposited Monies to be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 11.04, all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company if acting as its own Paying Agent), to the holders of the particular Notes for the payment of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due thereon for principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any).

Section 11.03. Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all monies then held by any Paying Agent of the Notes (other than the Trustee) shall, upon written request of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies.

Section 11.04. Return of Unclaimed Monies. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee for payment of the principal of, other amounts payable under or accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, Notes and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the Noteholders for two years after the date upon which the principal of, other amounts payable under, or accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Notes, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee on written request and all liability of the Trustee shall thereupon cease with respect to such monies; and the holder of any of the Notes shall thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such holder may be entitled to collect unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment of the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any), on Notes, as described in this Section 11.04 and upon written request of the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the amount required for such payment.

Section 11.05. Reinstatement. If (i) the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 11.02 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application and (ii) the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes so request by written notice to the Trustee, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 11.02; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of interest on or principal of any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Noteholders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 12

IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Section 12.01. Indenture and Notes Solely Corporate Obligations. To the extent permitted by law, no recourse for the payment of the principal of, or accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, any Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any debt represented thereby, shall be had against any past, present or future incorporator, shareholder, employee, agent, officer or director or Subsidiary of the Company as such or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that, to the extent permitted by law, all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Notes.

ARTICLE 13

CONVERSION

Section 13.01. Right of Convert.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 13, each Noteholder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note at any time prior to the close of business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at a rate (the “Conversion Rate”) of 41.3129 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment by the Company as provided in this Article 13) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The Notes may not be converted after the close of business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

(b) (i) If the Company is a party to any transaction or event that constitutes a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurring prior to the Maturity Date, and a Noteholder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Rate applicable to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes that are surrendered for conversion shall be increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as described below. A conversion of Notes by a holder shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent on or subsequent to the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change, but before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall give notice in writing to all record Noteholders and the Trustee of the anticipated Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change as promptly as practicable following the date of the Company’s public announcement of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, but in no event less than twenty (20) days prior to such Effective Date (the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Notice”).

(ii) The number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased in the event of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change pursuant to this

Section 13.01(b) shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), and the Stock Price; provided that if the actual 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 next higher and next lower Stock Price amounts and the two nearest Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; provided further that if (1) the Stock Price is greater than $60.00 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section 13.03), or (2) the Stock Price is less than $17.93 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in this Article 13), then, in each case, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate in respect of Additional Shares will be made pursuant to this Section 13.01(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion exceed 55.7724 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in this Article 13).

Upon conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the holders will receive a separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to, but not including, the date upon which the related Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent, unless such conversion occurs 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 (including Additional Interest, if any) payable on such Interest Payment Date to the holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding regular record date.

(iii) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Schedule A hereto shall be adjusted by the Company as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted (except for any adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.01(b)). 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 in effect immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares within the table shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 13.03 (except for any adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.01(b)).

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, if a holder surrenders its Notes to the Company prior to the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the holder will not be entitled to an increased Conversion Rate in connection with such conversion.

Section 13.02. Conversion Procedure.

(a) Upon any conversion of any Notes, on the third (3rd) Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes to be converted divided by $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect as of such Conversion Date; provided

that the Company will deliver cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock as set forth pursuant to clause (j) below; provided, further for any conversion that occurs on or after the record date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Company shall deliver such shares on the Maturity Date.

(b) Before any holder of a Note shall be entitled to a conversion as set forth above, such holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 13.02(h) and, if required, pay all taxes or duties, if any, and (ii) in the case of a Note issued in definitive form, (A) complete and manually sign and deliver an irrevocable written notice to the Conversion Agent in the form on the reverse of such definitive Note (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Conversion Notice”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and shall state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes surrendered for conversion and the name or names (with addresses) in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon conversion of the Notes to be registered, (B) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (C) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 13.02(h), and (D) if required, pay all taxes or duties, if any. A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the holder has complied with the requirements set forth in this Section 13.02(b).

No Conversion Notice with respect to any Notes may be delivered by a holder thereof if such holder has also tendered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 15.01.

If more than one Note shall be converted at one time by the same holder, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so converted to the Company.

(c) Delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion shall be made by the Company in no event later than the date specified in Section 13.02(a). The Company shall make such delivery by issuing, or causing to be issued, and delivering to its transfer agent for the Common Stock or to such holder, or such holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as part of such conversion (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares).

(d) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to such holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of the Notes not surrendered for conversion.

(e) The Company shall pay all stamp and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, the holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the holder requests any shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name. The transfer agent for the Common Stock may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the holder’s name until a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name is received. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations.

(f) Except as provided in Section 13.03, no adjustment shall be made for dividends declared on any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion by the Company with respect to any Note as provided in this Article with a record date prior to the Conversion Date.

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

(h) Except as set forth below or provided in Section 13.01(b)(ii), upon conversion, a Noteholder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any). The Company’s settlement of the conversion as described above shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to the Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a record date, holders of such Notes as of the close of business on the record date will receive the interest (including Additional Interest, if any) payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any regular record date to the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest (including Additional Interest, if any) payable on such Notes; provided, that no such payment need be made (i) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (ii) in respect of any conversion in connection with the Make-Whole Fundamental Change; (iii) in respect of any conversion that occurs after the record date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; or (iv) to the extent of any overdue interest existing at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.

(i) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) surrendered for conversion on the relevant Conversion Date. The person in whose name the certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon such conversion shall become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on such Conversion Date; provided, however, that no

surrender of Notes on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date that such Notes shall have been surrendered for conversion, as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon the conversion with respect to the Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Noteholder.

(j) 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 that shall be issued by the Company 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 that would otherwise be issued with respect to any Note or Notes (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date.

Section 13.03. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(a) In case the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock exclusively as a dividend or distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock on shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:



	CR′ = CR_o ×	OS′
	CR′ = CR_o ×	OS_o

where,


CR_o	= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;


CR′	= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on such record date or the effective date, as the case may be;


OS_o	= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the opening of business on such record date or the effective date, as the case may be; and


OS′	= the number of shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution or immediately after the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 13.03(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not split 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 split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution, or share split or share combination, had not been declared.

(b) In case the Company shall issue to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after the record date for such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share less than less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:



	CR′ = CR_o ×	OS_o + X
	CR′ = CR_o ×	OS_o + Y

where,


CRo	= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the record date for such issuance;


CR′	= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on such record date;


OSo	= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the opening of business on such record date;


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


Y	= the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance.

Any increase made under this Section 13.03(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the record date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis

of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such record date for such issuance had not occurred.

In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of the Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(c) In case the Company shall distribute shares of its capital stock, evidences of its indebtedness or its other assets or property of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock other than (i) dividends, distributions or issuances referred to in Section 13.03(a) and Section 13.03(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash and referred to in Section 13.03(d), (iii) rights issued pursuant to the Rights Plan adopted by the Company and referred to in Section 13.10, (iv) any dividends and distributions in connection with a reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition resulting in a change in the conversion consideration referred to in Section 13.06, and (v) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 13.03(c) shall apply (any of such shares of capital stock, evidences of its indebtedness, or other asset or property may hereinafter in this Section 13.03(c) be referred to as the “Distributed Property”), to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:



	CR′ = CR_o ×	SP_o
	CR′ = CR_o ×	SP_o – FMV

where,


CR_o	= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to opening of business on the record date for such distribution;


CR′	= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after opening of business on such record date;


SP_o	= the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution; and


FMV	= the fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property to be distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of such Ex-Date.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 13.03(c) above shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the record date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the

Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as set forth above) is equal to or greater than “SP_o” (as set forth above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Noteholder shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of the Company’s capital stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s capital stock or other securities that such holder would have received if such holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for the distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.03(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock in shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:



	CR′ = CR_o ×	FMV_o + MP_o
	CR′ = CR_o ×	MP_o

where,


CR_o	= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the effective date of the Spin-Off;


CR′	= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the effective date of the Spin-Off;

FMV_o

= the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as if references therein to Common Stock were to such capital stock or similar equity interest) over the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the date of the Spin-Off (the “valuation period”); and


MP_o	= the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the valuation period.

Such adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall be determined after the close of business on the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the ten (10) Trading Days immediately following, and including, the effective date of any Spin-Off, references with respect to the Spin-Off to ten (10) Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the conversion date in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.

Rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock, entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such 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 13.03 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.03 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 13.03(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights, options or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.03 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion 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 per share cash distribution, equal to the redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of this Section 13.03(c), Section 13.03(a) and Section 13.03(b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.03(c) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock to which Section 13.03(a) applies and/or also includes rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 13.03(b) applies shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the Distributed Property other than such shares of Common Stock to which Section 13.03(a) applies and/or other than such rights, options or warrants to which Section 13.03(b) applies and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 13.03(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 13.03(a) and/or Section 13.03(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the record date of such dividend or distribution shall under this Section 13.03(c) be substituted as “the record date” within the meaning of Section 13.03(a) and Section 13.03(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding immediately prior to the opening of business on such record date or the effective

date, as the case may be” within the meaning of Section 13.03(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the opening of business on such record date” within the meaning of Section 13.03(b).

(d) In case the Company shall pay a dividend or make a distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:



	CR′ = CR_o ×	SP_o
	CR′ = CR_o ×	SP_o – C

where,


CR_o	= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the record date for such dividend or distribution;


CR′	= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on such record date;


SP_o	= the Last Reported Sale Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and


C	= the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock.

Any increase made under this Section 13.03(d) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the record date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as set forth above) is equal to or greater than “SP_o” (as set forth above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Noteholder shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such holder would have received if such holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date for such cash dividend or distribution.

For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 13.03(d), in the event of any reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Notes become convertible into more than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to this Section 13.03(d), references in this Section to one share of Common Stock or Last Reported Sale Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price of a unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Stock into which the Notes are then exercisable equal to the numbers of shares of such class issued in respect of one share of Common Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications.

(e) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock (other than an odd-lot tender offer), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, as it may be amended (the “expiration date”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:



	CR′ = CR_o ×	AC + (SP′ x OS′)
	CR′ = CR_o ×	OS_o × SP′

where,


CR_o	= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date;


CR′	= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date;


AC	= the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration as determined by the Board of Directors paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;


OS_o	= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration date (before giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer);


OS′	= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the expiration date (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and


SP′	= the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date.

Any increase in the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.03(e) shall be determined as of the close of business on the tenth (10th) Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date but will be given effect as of the opening of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date. For purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date, references within this Section 13.03(e) to ten (10) consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date to, but excluding, the relevant conversion date.

(f) For purposes of this Section 13.03, the term “record date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of

Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the shares of Common Stock (or other applicable security) are exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

(g) In addition to those required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) of this Section 13.03, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least twenty (20) calendar days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. If the Board of Directors makes such determination, it shall be binding and conclusive. In addition, subject to the listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the Company may, but is not required to, increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to this Section 13.03(g), the Company shall transmit to the holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Note Register provided for in Section 2.06 a notice of the increase at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, in accordance with applicable law, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(h) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 13 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share, as the case may be, except as set forth in Section 13.02(j). No adjustment shall be made for the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities or rights to purchase Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 13.03 or Section 13.01(b) or Section 13.11. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate then in effect at such time. The Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate, take such carry-forward adjustments into account in any subsequent adjustment and make such carried forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1% (i) annually, on the anniversary of the first date of issue of the Notes and (ii) upon conversion of any Note.

(i) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Trustee and Conversion Agent may conclusively rely on the accuracy of the Conversion Rate adjustment provided by the Company. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall transmit such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the holder of each Note at his last address appearing

on the Note Register provided for in Section 2.06 of this Indenture, within twenty (20) days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(j) The applicable Conversion Rate will not be adjusted:

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

(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock or restricted stock units or options or rights (including shareholder appreciation rights) to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;

(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible securities not described in clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

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

(v) for accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any; or

(vi) for any transactions described in this Section 13.03 if Noteholders participate (as a result of holding the Notes, and at the same time as holders of Common Stock participate) in such transactions as if such Noteholders held a number shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate at the time such adjustment would be required, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Noteholders, without having to surrender their Notes for conversion.

(k) For purposes of this Section 13.03, 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.

(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any adjustment to the Conversion Rate described in any of clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 13.03 becomes effective and, but for this provision, a holder that has converted its Notes (i) would receive shares of Common Stock based on an adjusted Conversion Rate and (ii) would be a record holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date, effective date or expiration date for the dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to the adjustment or otherwise participates in such dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to the adjustment as a result of being treated as a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock, then, in lieu of receiving shares of Common Stock at such an adjusted Conversion Rate, the Company shall adjust the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company delivers to such holder as the Company determines is appropriate to reflect such holder’s participation in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(m) If any dividend, distribution or issuance described in this Section 13.03 is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been declared. If the application of any of the foregoing formulas (other than in connection with a share combination) would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made.

Section 13.04. Shares to Be Fully Paid. Upon conversion of Notes, the Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to settle the conversion of Notes.

Section 13.05. Certain Other Adjustments. To the extent not otherwise covered by Section 13.03, whenever a provision of this Indenture requires the calculation of Last Reported Sale Prices over a span of multiple days, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to such Last Reported Sale Prices, the Conversion Rate or the amount due upon conversion to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the applicable record date of the event occurs, at any time during the period from which such Last Reported Sale Prices are to be calculated. Any such adjustment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.05 shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors in order to give effect to the intent of Section 13.05 and the other provisions of this Article 13 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results.

Section 13.06. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

If any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another Person, or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to any other Person, in each case as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or assets with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock (any such event in this paragraph a “Merger Event”), then:

(a) the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with 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 if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) permitted under Section 9.01(a) providing for the conversion and settlement of the Notes as set forth in this Indenture. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article and the Trustee may conclusively rely on the determination by the Company of the equivalency of such adjustments. If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors

shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent required by the Board of Directors and practicable the provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth in Article 15 herein.

In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 13.06, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefore, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will constitute the Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly transmit notice thereof to all Noteholders.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.02(a), and subject to the provisions of Section 13.01, at the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert a Note will be changed into a right to convert such Note as set forth in this Indenture into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”) upon such Merger Event. For purposes of determining the constitution of Reference Property, the type and amount of consideration that a holder of Common Stock would have been entitled to in the case of reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyance of assets or other transactions that cause the Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election) shall be deemed to be (i) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election or (ii) if no holders of Common Stock affirmatively make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by such holders. The Company shall not become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with this Section 13.06. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to surrender its Notes for conversion to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 hereof prior to the effective date of the Merger Event.

(c) The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be transmitted to each Noteholder, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in this Indenture, within twenty (20) days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

(d) The above provisions of this Section shall apply to successive Merger Events.

Section 13.07. Certain Covenants.

(a) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Rate below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Rate.

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

(b) The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of the Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon such conversion, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission (or any successor thereto), endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(c) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will, if permitted and required by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes.

Section 13.08. Responsibility of Trustee. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary, none of the Trustee, Conversion Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian or Paying Agent (in each case, if different from the Company) shall at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Noteholder to determine the Last Reported Sale Price, the Conversion Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. None of the Trustee, Conversion Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian or Paying Agent (in each case, if different from the Company) shall be under any duty or responsibility to monitor, or be charged with any knowledge of monitoring, any measurement period or be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and none of the Trustee, Conversion Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian or Paying Agent (in each case, if different from the Company) makes any representations with respect thereto. In addition, none of the Trustee, Conversion Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian or Paying Agent (in each case, if different from the Company) shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Trustee, Conversion Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian or Paying Agent (in each case, if different from the Company) shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 13.06 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Noteholders upon the conversion of the Notes after any event referred to in such Section 13.06 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in

relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

Section 13.09. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.

In case:

(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 13.03; or

(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to all of the holders of its Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights, options or warrants, or

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

the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be transmitted to each Noteholder at its address appearing on the Note Register, provided for in Section 2.06 of this Indenture, as promptly as possible but in any event at least twenty (20) days prior to the applicable date specified in clause (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or 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 or rights, options or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

Section 13.10. Shareholder Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company has a shareholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) in effect upon conversion of any Note into Common Stock, the holders shall receive, in addition to any shares of Common Stock, the associated rights issued under the Rights Plan or under any future shareholder rights plan the Company adopts. If the rights have separated from the Common Stock, expired, terminated or been redeemed or exchanged in accordance with the Rights Plan prior to any delivery of shares by the Company in respect of any conversion of the Notes into Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of the Common Stock, shares of its capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets as set forth in Section 13.03(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration or termination of such rights.

Section 13.11. Additional Shares Upon Conversion Upon a Notice of Redemption. If the Company elects, pursuant to Article 14, to redeem the Notes prior to August 15, 2018, each holder that elects to convert its Notes after the Redemption Notice Date and before the Redemption Date, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in Section 13.01(b), will receive upon conversion, with respect to the Notes converted, an increase in the Conversion Rate equal to the increase that would be received if the Redemption Notice Date were treated as an Effective Date under the adjustment methodology set forth in Section 13.01(b) (the “Make-Whole Adjustment”) and is subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in Section 13.01(b)(ii) with respect to the provision of Additional Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, however, no cash payment of accrued but unpaid interest will be payable by the Company in connection with any holder’s election to convert Notes on or after a Redemption Notice Date and before the associated Redemption Date, except if Notes are converted after the close of business on a record date, holders of such Notes as of the close of business on the record date will receive the interest (including Additional Interest, if any) payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion, and Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any regular record date to the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest (including Additional Interest, if any) payable on such Notes. The Make-Whole Adjustment shall be calculated in accordance with the foregoing as determined in good faith by the Company. Prior to or concurrently with such payment, the Company will provide the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the calculation of the Make-Whole Adjustment required by this Section 13.11, and the Trustee shall have no obligation or liability with respect to such calculation.

ARTICLE 14

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

Section 14.01. Right of Redemption.

(a) Prior to August 15, 2018, the Company may elect to redeem any or all of the Notes on any Business Day, except for the Notes that the Company is required to repurchase as provided under Section 15.01, in cash at the Redemption Price, provided that at any time the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock for twenty (20) or more Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) in any period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending within five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to the Redemption Notice Date has equaled or exceeded 130% of the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on each applicable trading day.

(b) At any time on or after August 15, 2018 and before the Maturity Date, the Company may elect to redeem any or all of the Notes on any Business Day, except for the Notes that the Company is required to repurchase as provided under Section 15.01, in cash at the Redemption Price.

(c) No Notes may be redeemed by the Company on a Redemption Date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Redemption Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes).

Section 14.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Notes pursuant to Section 14.01 or otherwise shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner acceptable to the Trustee. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of all or less than all the Notes, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed.

Section 14.03. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

(a) If the Company does not redeem all of the Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in principal amounts of $1,000, or integral multiples of $1,000, from the Notes then outstanding and not already to be redeemed as a result of having previously been called for redemption, by lot, pro rata to the extent practicable or by another method the Trustee routinely uses, and in each case for so long as the Notes are represented by a Global Note to the extent permitted by the Depository. If a portion of a holder’s Notes is selected for partial redemption and such holder converts a portion of such holder’s Note, the converted portion shall be deemed to be from the portion selected for redemption to the extent that the converted portion does not exceed the portion selected for redemption.

(b) If any Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall issue new Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed principal portion thereof; provided, that the Company shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the open of business 15 days before the transmitting of a Redemption Notice and ending at the close of business on the earliest date on which the relevant Redemption Notice is deemed to have been given to all holders of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Notes so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Notes being redeemed in part.

(c) For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of the Notes shall relate, in the case of the Notes redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of the Notes which has been or is to be redeemed.

Section 14.04. Notice of Redemption.

ARTICLE 15

REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

Section 15.01. Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, then each Noteholder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such holder’s Notes or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, for cash on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than twenty (20) Business Days and not more than thirty-five (35) Business Days after the date of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice (as hereinafter defined) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is between a regular record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date to which it relates, in which case, the Company will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Noteholders of record at the close of business on the corresponding regular record date) (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”). Any Notes purchased by the Company shall be paid in cash.

A transaction or transactions described in clauses (1), (2), (3) or (4) of the definition of “Fundamental Change” shall not constitute a Fundamental Change, however, if at least 90% of the consideration paid for Common Stock (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights) in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of Common Stock that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) or will be so listed or quoted immediately following issuance or exchange in connection with such transaction or transactions and as a result of such transaction or transactions the Notes become convertible into the Reference Property for the Notes subject to Article 13. In addition, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company at the option of the holders on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes).

Repurchases of Notes under this Section 15.01 shall be made, at the option of the holder thereof, upon:

(i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company and, in the case of the Notes held in global form, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary) by a holder of a duly completed repurchase notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note on or prior to the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law (the “Fundamental Change Expiration Time”); and

(ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), such delivery being a condition to receipt by the holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 15.01 only if the Note so delivered to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state:

(A) if the Notes are in definitive form, the certificate numbers of Notes to be delivered for repurchase, or if in global form, such notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary;

(B) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

(C) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture.

Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 15.01 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the holder promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Note.

The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.01(c).

Any Note that 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 his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery 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 of the Note so surrendered.

(b) After the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, but on or before the tenth (10th) day following such occurrence, the Company shall provide to all holders of record of the Notes and the Trustee and Paying Agent a notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the holders arising as a result thereof.

Each Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall specify:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change and whether such Fundamental Change also constitutes a Make-Whole Fundamental Change;

(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii) the last date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase right, if applicable;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

(vii) the applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate;

(viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been previously delivered to the Company may be converted only if the holder

withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 15.01 (c);

(ix) that the holder must exercise the repurchase right on or prior to the close of business prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time;

(x) that the holder shall have the right to withdraw any Notes surrendered prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time; and

(xi) the procedures that holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Noteholders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 15.01.

(c) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (in whole or in part) may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) at any time prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time, specifying:

(i) if the Notes are in definitive form, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Notes, or if in global form, such notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary;

(ii) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000;

(d) On or prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time in the City of New York) on the Business Day preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.04(b)) an amount of money sufficient to repurchase on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all of the Notes to be repurchased on such date at the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time will be made promptly after the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the holder has satisfied the conditions to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in this Section 15.01), and (y) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the holder thereof in the manner required by this Section 15.01, in each case subject to extension to comply with applicable law, by mailing checks for the amount payable to the holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register, provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by

wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

(e) Subject to a holder’s right to receive interest on the related Interest Payment Date where the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is between a regular record date and the related Interest Payment Date, if the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to repurchase on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then on and after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding and interest, including any Additional Interest, will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent); and (ii) all other rights of the holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon delivery of the Notes and previously accrued and unpaid interest upon delivery or transfer of the Notes).

(f) In connection with any repurchase under this Section 15.01, the Company shall (a) comply with Rules 13e‑4 and 14e‑1 (and any successor provisions thereto) under the Exchange Act, if applicable, (b) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act, if applicable, and (c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes, in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article 15 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Indenture. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture described in this Section 15.01, compliance by the Company with such laws and regulations shall not in and of itself cause a breach of the Company’s obligations described in this Section 15.01.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
FOREST CITY ENTERPRISES, INC.

3.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 3.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (herein called the “Notes”), issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of July 19, 2013 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture.

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, all Notes, may be declared, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, and in other circumstances, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall make any of the changes set forth in Section 9.02 of the Indenture, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected thereby. It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Notes, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences except as provided in the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof or upon registration of transfer, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional

A-7

Interest, if any) on, this Note, at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company, a new Note or Notes of other authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange thereof, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax, assessments or other governmental charges imposed in connection therewith.

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

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the holder has the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes such holder elects to require the Company to repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is between a regular record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date to which it relates, in which case, the Company will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Noteholders of record at the close of business on the corresponding record date). The Company or, at the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall transmit to all holders of record of the Notes a notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof on or before the tenth (10th) day after the occurrence of any Fundamental Change.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the holder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note at any time prior to the close of business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at a Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this Note, together with a Conversion Notice, a form of which is attached to the Note, as provided in the Indenture and this Note, to the Company at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, or at the option of such holder, the Corporate Trust Office. The initial Conversion Rate shall be 41.3129 shares for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion of the Note, but an adjustment in cash will be paid to the holder, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Note or Notes after conversion. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or any shares issued upon conversion except as provided in the Indenture. If the Company elects to redeem the Notes at any time prior to August 15, 2018, each holder that elects to convert its Notes after the Redemption Notice Date and before the Redemption Date will receive upon conversion, with respect to the Notes converted, the Make-Whole Adjustment (in Additional Shares).

A-8

Prior to August 15, 2018, the Company may elect to redeem any or all of the Notes on any Redemption Date, except for the Notes that the Company is required to repurchase as provided under Section 15.01, in cash at the Redemption Price, provided that at any time the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock for twenty (20) or more Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) in any period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending within five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to the Redemption Notice Date has equaled or exceeded 130% of the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on each applicable trading day. At any time on or after August 15, 2018 and before the Maturity Date, the Company may elect to redeem any or all of the Notes on any Redemption Date, except for the Notes that the Company is required to repurchase as provided under Section 15.01, in cash at the Redemption Price.

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

To the extent permitted by law, no recourse for the payment of the principal of, or accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any debt represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, employee, agent, officer, director or Subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture are used herein as therein defined.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TENANT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).
