THE NOTES
Section 2.01.    Form, Dating and Denominations; Legends. 
(a) The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication for the Notes will be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A. The terms and provisions contained in the form of the Note annexed as Exhibit A constitute and are hereby expressly made a part of this Indenture. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Indenture and a Note, the terms of this Indenture will control. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rules of or agreements with national securities exchanges to which the Company is subject, or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes will be issuable only in minimum denominations of $1,000 in principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Initial Notes are being issued by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Transactions entered into on the Closing Date in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Initial Notes shall be issued as Unrestricted Notes. The Notes will be subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Debt as provided in Article 13.
(b) Global Notes in General. Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, purchases, conversions or issuances of such Notes. Any adjustment of the aggregate principal amount of a 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 in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary. The Company has entered into a letter of representations with the Depositary in the form provided by the Depositary and the Trustee and each Agent is hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and Applicable Procedures.
The Global Notes representing the Initial Notes shall initially be Unrestricted Notes.
Agent Members shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or under the Global Note, and the Depositary (including, for this purpose, its nominee) may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or (ii) impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.
(c) Book-Entry Provisions. The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.02, authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Notes that

-13-



(i) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary, (ii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions and (iii) shall bear a legend substantially to the effect set forth in Exhibit B.
(d) Transfer Restriction Legend. All Transfer Restricted Notes shall bear the Transfer Restriction Legend.
Section 2.02.    Execution and Authentication.  An Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. Typographic errors or defects in any such facsimile signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Note which has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.
A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee signs manually the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.
On the Closing Date, the Company shall issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, the Initial Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $320,000,000. After the Closing Date, the Company may issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, Additional Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.14. The Trustee shall so authenticate and make available for delivery Notes upon receipt of a written order or orders of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (a “Company Order”). The Company Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, shall specify whether such Notes will be represented by a Transfer Restricted Global Note or an Unrestricted Global Note and shall specify the date on which each original issue of Notes is to be authenticated; provided that any Initial Notes shall be issued in the form of an Unrestricted Note that is a Global Note.
The Company at any time or from time to time may, without the consent of any Holder, issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.14, which Additional Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. Such Additional Notes will be deemed Notes for all purposes hereunder, including without limitation in determining the necessary Holders who may take the actions or consent to the taking of actions as specified in this Indenture.
The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent shall have the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.
The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

-14-



Section 2.03.    Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.  The Company shall maintain one or more offices or agencies where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (each, a “Registrar”), one or more offices or agencies where Notes may be presented for payment (each, a “Paying Agent”), one or more offices or agencies where Notes may be presented for conversion (each, a “Conversion Agent”) and one or more offices or agencies where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be delivered. The Company shall at all times maintain a Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be delivered in the United States. One of the Registrars (the “Primary Registrar”) shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Register”).
The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or location for delivery of notices and demands in any place required by this Indenture, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent (except for the purposes of Article 8); provided that if the Company or any Affiliate of the Company is acting as Paying Agent, and an Event of Default occurs under either of Section 6.01(h) or 6.01(i), thereafter the Trustee shall serve as the Paying Agent.
The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar, and Conversion Agent, and each of the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and the office or agency of the Trustee in the United States (located at the Corporate Trust Office) for each of the aforesaid purposes. The Company may maintain deposit accounts and conduct other banking transactions with the Trustee in the normal course of business.
Section 2.04.    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.  Prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on each date on which the principal amount of or interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on any Notes is due and payable, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal amount or interest (including Additional Interest), if any, so becoming due. A Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Noteholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal amount of or interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall, before 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on each date on which a payment of the principal amount of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Notes is due and payable, segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (other than the Company) shall have no further liability for the money.

-15-



Section 2.05.    Noteholder Lists.  The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the Primary Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on or before 10 Business Days prior to any interest payment date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders.
Section 2.06.    Transfer and Exchange.  Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in Section 2.13, when a Note is presented to a Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such Note for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met; provided that every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form in the form included in Exhibit A, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Note for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without service charge, except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto; provided that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 3.04, Section 9.03(b) or Section 10.02(i) not involving any transfer.
All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.03 shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Notes upon transfer or exchange of Notes.
The Trustee and Registrar shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or other beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
The Company shall not be required to (a) register, transfer or exchange Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the transmission of a notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption under Section 11.02 and ending at the Close of Business on the day of such transmission, or (b) register, transfer or exchange any Notes so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

-16-



Section 2.07.    Replacement Notes.  If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Company, a Registrar or the Trustee, or the Company, a Registrar and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Company, the applicable Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as will be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, such Registrar or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute, and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the Company pursuant to Article 3, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay or purchase such Note, as the case may be.
Upon the issuance of any new Notes under this Section 2.07, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Registrar) in connection therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.07 are (to the extent lawful) exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 2.08.    Outstanding Notes.  Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee, except for those canceled by it, those paid pursuant to Section 2.07, those converted pursuant to Article 10, those delivered to it for cancellation or surrendered for transfer or exchange and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Company and the Trustee receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.
If a Paying Agent holds at 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Maturity Date cash sufficient to pay the principal amount of the Notes payable on that date, then on and after the Maturity Date, such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and the principal amount thereof shall cease to bear interest (including Additional Interest).
Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

-17-



Section 2.09.    Treasury Notes.  In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any notice, direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes or by any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded, except that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such notice, direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor on the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.
Section 2.10.    Temporary Notes.  Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company with the consent of the Trustee considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.
Section 2.11.    Cancellation.  The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee or its agent any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel, in accordance with its standard procedures, all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or cancellation and upon written request of the Company shall deliver evidence of the canceled Notes to the Company.
Section 2.12.    CUSIP Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Notes may use one or more “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use) or other similar numbers, and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other similar numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other similar numbers.
Section 2.13.    Additional Transfer and Exchange Requirements. 
(a) If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes subject to restrictions on transfer and bearing the Transfer Restriction Legend, or if a request is made to remove the Transfer Restriction Legend on a Note, the Notes so issued shall bear the Transfer Restriction Legend, or the Transfer Restriction Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Company and the Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which shall include an Opinion of Counsel if requested by the Company or such Registrar, as may be reasonably required by the Company and the Registrar, that neither the Transfer Restriction Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 or that such Notes are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144; provided that no such evidence need be supplied in connection with the sale of such Note

-18-



pursuant to a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such sale. Upon (i) provision of such satisfactory evidence to the Company or the Registrar if requested by the Company or the Registrar, or (ii) notification by the Company to the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Note pursuant to a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a Note that does not bear the Transfer Restriction Legend. If the Transfer Restriction Legend is removed from the face of a Note, the Transfer Restriction Legend shall be reinstated at any time the Company reasonably determinates that, to comply with applicable law (including, without limitation, the Securities Act), such Note must bear the Transfer Restriction Legend.
(b) No transfer of a Note to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Notes unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of such Person. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with this Section 2.13.
(c) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.
(i) Beneficial interests in any Transfer Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Transfer Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Transfer Restriction Legend.

(iv) A beneficial interest in any Transfer Restricted Global Note may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if (1) the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.13(c)(ii) and (2) if the Registrar or the Company so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar and the Company stating that such exchange or transfer is in

        (i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, a Global Note shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Note registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof; provided that a Global Note may be exchanged for Notes registered in the names of any Person designated by the Depositary in the event that (A) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or such Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (B) the Company has provided the Depositary with written notice that it has decided to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfer through the Depositary or any successor Depositary or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee or the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested such exchange. Any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (C) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Depositary.

Section 3.03.     Deposit of Repurchase Price.  On or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the aggregate Repurchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be repurchased as of the Repurchase Date.
The manner in which the deposit required by this Section 3.03 is made by the Company shall be at the option of the Company; provided, however, that such deposit shall be made in a manner such that the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall have immediately available funds on the date of deposit. If the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price with respect to the Notes to be repurchased on the Repurchase Date in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, then, immediately on and after the Repurchase Date, interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue, whether or not the Notes are delivered to the Paying Agent, and all other rights of the Holders of such Notes shall terminate, other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price upon delivery of such Notes.
Section 3.04.     Notes Repurchased in Part.  Any Note which is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered that is not repurchased.

Section 6.02.    Acceleration.  Subject to Section 6.15, if an Event of Default, other than a Bankruptcy Default, occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the written request of such Holders may, declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) will become immediately due and payable. If a Bankruptcy Default occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes then outstanding will become immediately due and payable automatically without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
Section 6.03.    Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.
Section 6.04.    Waiver of Defaults.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.07 and Section 9.02(b), Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee may waive any existing or future Default or Event of Default and its consequences and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration with respect to such Event of Default and its consequences (other than an Event of Default (a) with respect to the failure to make payment of the principal amount, accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any), the Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price, in each case with respect to any Note, (b) with respect to the failure to pay or deliver the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes or (c) with respect to any provision that under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected) if:
(i) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes that have become due

-31-



solely by the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived, and all amounts owing to the Trustee have been paid, and
(ii)    the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Upon such waiver, the Default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived, rescinded or annulled as permitted by this Section 6.04, 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.
Section 6.05.    Control by Majority.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may 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. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders), and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it for all fees, losses and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred or to be incurred by taking such action.
Section 6.06.    Limitation on Suits.  A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture or the Notes, unless:
(i)    such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(ii)    Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of the Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under this Indenture;
(iii)    Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(iv)    the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and


-32-



(v)    during such 60‑day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request.
No one or more of the Holders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by his, her, its or their action to enforce any right hereunder, except in the manner herein provided, and that every action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal benefit of all Holders.

Section 6.08.     Collection Suit by Trustee.  If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) specified in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any) remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the Notes, and such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Every recovery of judgment in any such action or other proceeding, subject to the payment to the Trustee of all amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor trustee under the immediately preceding sentence and under Section 7.07, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders which shall be the subject of such action or proceeding.
Section 6.09.     Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee is hereby appointed, and each and every Holder, by receiving and holding the same, shall be conclusively deemed to have appointed the Trustee, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Holder, with authority to make or file (whether or not the Company shall be in Default in respect of the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Notes, and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest), in its own name and as trustee of an express trust or otherwise as it shall deem advisable, in any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or to their respective creditors or property any and all claims, proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company or its creditors or property, and is

-33-



entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such claims. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10.    Priorities.  Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6, and after an Event of Default any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, shall be paid or distributed in the following order:
First: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) for all amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof;
Second: to holders of Senior Debt to the extent required by Article 13;
Third: to Holders for amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest (including Additional Interest, if any);

Section 6.11.     Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted a proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and the proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to the Holder, then, subject to any determination in the proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

-34-



Section 6.12.    Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture and each Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of such Holder’s Note, shall be deemed to have agreed that 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, a court may require any party litigant in such suit (other than the Trustee) to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to (a) a suit by a Holder to enforce payment of (i) principal of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Note on the respective due dates, (ii) the Repurchase Price on the Repurchase Date, (iii) the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date or (iv) cash and shares of Common Stock, if any (or cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock that cannot be issued pursuant to Section 10.27 or Section 10.28, if any), due upon conversion of a Note or (b) a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.
Section 6.13.    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  No right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy is, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy.
Section 6.14.    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
Section 6.15.    Failure to File and to Provide Freely Tradable Notes. 
(a)    Notwithstanding anything in this Article 6, the Company may, at its option, elect that the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to its failure to comply with its obligations described under Section 4.04 will for the first 180 days after the occurrence and during the continuation of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) on the Notes at an annual rate equal to (i) 0.25% of the principal amount of the Notes for the first 90 days after the occurrence and during the continuation of such Event of Default and (ii) 0.50% of the principal amount of the Notes from the 91st day to, and including, the 180th day after the occurrence and during the continuation of such Event of Default. If the Company so elects, the Additional Interest shall accrue on all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which such Event of Default first occurs until such violation is cured or waived and shall be payable as provided in Section 12.01. On the 181st day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the reporting obligations is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as and to the extent provided in Section 6.02. This Section 6.15 shall not affect the rights of Holders of Notes if any other Event of Default occurs under the Indenture. If the Company does not pay the Additional Interest on a timely basis in accordance with Section 12.01,

-35-



the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as and to the extent provided in Section 6.02. In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph (a), the Company shall notify all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election in writing prior to the Close of Business on the fifth day after the date on which such Event of Default occurs. If the Company fails to timely give such notice, the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.
(b)    If, at any time during the period beginning six months from the last date of original issuance of the Notes (such date, the “Last Original Issuance Date”) and ending on the one-year anniversary of the Last Original Issuance Date (the “Free Trade Date”), the Company fails to make available adequate current public information in accordance with Rule 144(c) of the Securities Act at a time when the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes, accruing from and including the first day on which the Company fails to make available adequate current public information in accordance with Rule 144(c) and continuing until the earlier of (i) the Free Trade Date and (ii) the date on which the Company corrects such failure. During the first 90 days on which such Additional Interest is payable, such Additional Interest shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum; thereafter, such Additional Interest shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will the combined rate of any Additional Interest payable under this Section 6.15 exceed 0.50% per annum.
(d) If the Company is required to pay Additional Interest to Holders, the Company shall provide a direction or order in the form of a written notice to the Trustee (and, if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, to the Paying Agent) of the Company’s obligation to pay such Additional Interest no later than three Business Days prior to the date on which any such Additional Interest is scheduled to be paid. Such notice shall set forth the amount of Additional Interest to be paid by the Company on such payment date and direct the Trustee (or, if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, direct the Paying Agent) to make payment to the extent it receives funds from the Company to do so. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether the Additional Interest is payable, or with respect to the nature, extent or calculation of the amount of the Additional Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Additional Interest.

Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to this Article.
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise those 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.
(c)     No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct.
Section 7.02.    Certain Rights of Trustee.  Subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 315(a) through (d) (to which this Indenture is hereby subject):
(a)     The Trustee may conclusively rely, and will be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but the Trustee, may, but shall not be required to, make further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled with the prior consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to examine the books, records and premises of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any document which is specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof, the Trustee shall examine the document to determine whether it conforms to the form requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

-37-



costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
(e)     The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.05 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.
(f) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel.
(g) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(h) Except with respect to Section 4.01, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to performance of the Company with respect to the covenants contained in Article 4. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or an Event of Default except (i) a Default or Event of Default occurring pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and 6.01(b) (provided that, in the case of Additional Interest, the Company has delivered the written notice to the Trustee required by Section 6.15(e)), or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notification from the Company or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the Corporate Trust Office and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture, or obtained actual knowledge.
(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee including, without limitation, its rights to be compensated, reimbursed, and indemnified, are extended to and shall be enforceable by the Trustee in its capacities hereunder, whether as Agent or otherwise, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.
(j) The permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.
(k) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 7.03.     Individual Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b) and 311, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b). There shall be excluded from the operation of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b)(i) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b)(i) are met.
Section 7.04.    Trustee’s Disclaimer.  The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of the recitals herein or in the Notes (except its certificates of authentication thereon) contained, all of which are made solely by the Company; and the Trustee shall not be responsible or accountable in any manner whatsoever for or with respect to the validity or execution or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes (except its certificates of authentication thereon), and the Trustee makes no representation with respect thereto, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1, if any, supplied to the Company are true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein.

Section 7.06.    Reports by Trustee to Holders.  Within 60 days after each December 1 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall transmit to each Holder, as provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), a brief report covering the matters described in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a), but if no event described in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) has occurred within 12 months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted, and shall file such reports with each stock exchange upon which the Notes are listed and with the Commission. The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing if and when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.
Section 7.07.    Compensation and Indemnity. 
(a)    The Company shall pay the Trustee such compensation the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for its services rendered by the Trustee hereunder (including any agent capacity in which it acts). The compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of‑pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with a Bankruptcy Default, the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of this Indenture, and any resignation or removal of the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08. “Trustee” for the purposes of this Section 7.07 shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence or willful misconduct of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

(iii)    If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10 or if the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of Section 310(b) 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. If Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act is amended any time after the date of this Indenture to change the circumstances under which a Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to the Notes or to change any of the definitions in connection therewith, this Section 7.08 shall be automatically amended to incorporate such changes.
(iv)    If at any time (A) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months (or, if it is a shorter period, the period since the initial issuance of the Notes), (B) the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.11 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months (or, if it is a shorter period, the period since the initial issuance of the Notes); or (C) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting or is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (1) the Company by written notice to the Trustee may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee, or (2) subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 315(e), any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months (or, if it is a shorter period, the period since the initial issuance of the Notes) may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

(a)    In case at any time the Trustee shall resign, or shall be removed (unless the Trustee shall be removed as provided in Section 7.08(a)(iii), in which event the vacancy shall be filled as provided in said subdivision), or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or if 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 with respect to the Note, a successor Trustee may be appointed by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by an instrument or instruments in writing signed in duplicate by such Holders and filed, one original thereof with the Company and the other with the successor Trustee; but, until a successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders as herein authorized, the Company, or, in case all or substantially all the assets of the Company shall be in the possession of one or more custodians or receivers lawfully appointed, or of trustees in bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings (including a trustee or trustees appointed under the provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted), or of assignees for the benefit of creditors, such receivers, custodians, trustees or assignees, as the case may be, by an instrument in writing, shall appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.08 and Section 7.09, upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Trustee, the Trustee shall cease to be Trustee hereunder. After any such appointment other than by the Holders, the Person making such appointment shall forthwith cause notice thereof to be mailed to the Holders at their addresses as the same shall then appear on the Register of the Company but any successor Trustee so appointed shall, immediately and without further act, be superseded by a successor Trustee appointed by the Holders in the manner above prescribed, if such appointment be made prior to the expiration of one year from the date of the mailing of such notice by the Company, or by such receivers, trustees or assignees. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
(b) If any Trustee shall resign or be removed and a successor Trustee shall not have been appointed by the Company or by the Holders or, if any successor Trustee so appointed shall not have accepted its appointment by way of notice to the Trustee, then within 30 days after providing such notice, the resigning Trustee at the expense of the Company may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.  If in any other case a successor Trustee shall not be appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.09 within three months after such appointment might have been made hereunder, the Holder of any Note or any retiring Trustee at the expense of the Company may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee.  Such court may thereupon, in any such case, after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.
 
(c) Any successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor Trustee and to the Company, or to the receivers, trustees, assignees or court appointing it, as the case may be, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations with respect to the Notes of such predecessor Trustee with like effect as if originally named as Trustee hereunder, and such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to pay over, and such successor Trustee shall be entitled to receive, all moneys and properties held by such predecessor Trustee as Trustee hereunder.  Nevertheless, on the

-42-



written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee or of the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its said charges and disbursements, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed all the rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor Trustee and shall assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Trustee all moneys and properties held by such predecessor Trustee; and, upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations.
Section 7.10.    Successor Trustee by Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.  Any Person into which the Trustee or any successor to it in the trusts created by this Indenture shall be merged or converted, or any Person with which it or any successor to it shall be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or any such successor to it shall be a party, or any Person to which the Trustee or any successor to it shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor Trustee under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7. 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 by the Trustee then in office, any successor to such Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any 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 may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor 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, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
Section 7.11.    Eligibility.  This Indenture must always have a Trustee that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, and shall have a Corporate Trust Office. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.11, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 7.
Section 7.12.    Money Held in Trust.  The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as it may agree in writing with the Company. Money or property held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Trustee shall join in the execution of a document prepared by the Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, at the cost and expense of the Company, on demand, accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 14.05.
Section 8.02.    Application of Trust Money.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.03, the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall hold in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, all money, Common Stock or other consideration paid or delivered to it, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 8.01 and shall apply such money, Common Stock or other consideration in accordance with this Indenture and the Notes to the payment of the principal amount of (including the relevant Repurchase Price or Redemption Price), and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, the Notes or delivery of the cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, or cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock that cannot be issued pursuant to Section 10.27 or Section 10.28, if applicable, payable or issuable, as the case may be, upon conversion of the Notes.

(f)     to make any change to comply with the Trust Indenture Act, or any amendment thereto;
(g) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of the Notes; and
(h) to eliminate any provisions of this Indenture in respect of any limitation on the ability of a Holder to convert its Notes to the extent that such Holder or a Related Person (i) is or was a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company at any time during the Section 382 Testing Period ending on the applicable Conversion Date or (ii) would as a result of the conversion of such Notes become a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company.
Section 9.02.    Amendments With Consent of Holders. 
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.07 or paragraph (b) of this Section, the Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of such Notes waive any existing or past Default under this Indenture and its consequences, except an uncured Default (i) in the payment of the principal amount of, or accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) with respect to, any Note, (ii) in the payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to any Note, (iii) in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to any Note, (iv) in the payment or delivery of the consideration (including any Make-Whole Shares, if applicable) due upon conversion of the Notes or (v) in respect of any provision that under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected.

(iv)    change the ranking of the Notes;

-46-



(v)    make any change that adversely affects the right of a Holder to convert any Note;
(vi)    make any change that adversely affects the right of a Holder to require the Company to repurchase a Note upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change;
(vii)    impair the right to convert or receive payment with respect to the Notes or the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment with respect to, or conversion of, the Notes; or
(viii)    change the provisions in this Indenture that relate to modifying or amending the provisions of this Indenture.
(c)    It is not necessary for Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but is sufficient if their consent approves the substance thereof.
(d)    An amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section will become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents (including consents delivered in accordance with the Applicable Procedures with respect to Global Notes) from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall send to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company shall send photocopies of or provide a hyperlink to an electronic version of the applicable supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.
Section 9.03.    Effect of Consent. 
(a)    After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder unless it is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected. If the amendment, supplement or waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder that has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder.
(b)    If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Company or the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation of the changed terms on the Note and return it to the Holder, or exchange it for a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated. However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver is not affected by any failure to annotate or exchange Notes in this fashion.

Trustee’s Rights and Obligations.  The Trustee is entitled to receive, and will be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the

-47-



Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, which Opinion of Counsel may contain customary limitations and qualifications. If the Trustee has received such an Opinion of Counsel, it shall sign the amendment, supplement or waiver so long as the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee is also entitled to receive an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 14.05 in connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver of any provision of the Indenture.
Section 9.05.    Concerning Senior Debt.  An amendment or supplement under this Article 9 may not make any change to Sections 13.03 through 13.16 hereof that adversely affects the rights of any holder of Senior Debt then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Debt (or any group or agent thereof authorized to give a consent) consent to such change.
ARTICLE 10    

CONVERSION
Section 10.01.    Conversion Privilege.  Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 10 (including the immediately succeeding paragraph), a Noteholder shall have the right, at such Noteholder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is a minimum of $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Noteholder’s Notes on or prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at a conversion rate (the “Conversion Rate”) equivalent to 25.2194 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment as set forth in this Article 10 and to the limitations on issuance of Common Stock set forth in Section 10.27 and Section 10.28. Subject to Section 10.27 and Section 10.28, upon conversion of any Notes, the Company shall pay or deliver to the converting Noteholder cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, as described in Section 10.02 and Section 10.03 (the Company’s obligation to pay or deliver such consideration being herein called the “Conversion Obligation”).
Section 10.02.    Conversion Procedures; Conversion Settlement.
(a)    To convert a Note that is represented by a Certificated Note, a Noteholder must (i) complete and manually sign a Conversion Notice, a form of which is on the back of the Note, and deliver such Conversion Notice to the Conversion Agent, (ii) surrender the Note to the Conversion Agent, (iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsement and transfer documents, (iv) pay all transfer or similar taxes required by Section 10.04 and (v) if required by Section 10.02(g), pay cash equal to the amount of interest due on the next Interest Payment Date for such Note. If a Noteholder holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note, to convert such beneficial interest, such Noteholder must comply with the requirements set forth in clauses (iv) and (v) of the immediately preceding sentence and comply with the Applicable Procedures. The first date on which all of the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10.02(a) (in the case of a Certificated Note) or the second sentence of this Section 10.02(a) (in the case of a Global Note or a beneficial interest therein) have been satisfied is referred to in this Indenture as the “Conversion Date.” The Conversion Agent

-48-



shall, within one Business Day of any Conversion Date, provide notice to the Company, as set forth in Section 12.03, of the occurrence of such Conversion Date.
(b)    Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 10.12, Section 10.27 or Section 10.28 hereof, if a Holder converts Notes, the Company will satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash (a “Cash Settlement”), shares of Common Stock, together with cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock (a “Physical Settlement”), or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock (a “Combination Settlement,” and each of Cash Settlement, Physical Settlement and Combination Settlement, a “Settlement Method”), based on the Settlement Method (which shall be selected by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion) that applies to the Notes and the Conversion Rate in effect on the applicable Conversion Date (as determined under Section 10.02(e) below), in each case, as follows:
(i)    Physical Settlement. If Physical Settlement applies to a Note, the Company shall deliver to the Holder of such Note a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (A)(x) the aggregate principal amount of such Note that is being converted, divided by (y) $1,000 and (B) the Conversion Rate in effect on the applicable Conversion Date; provided, however, that the Company shall pay an amount of cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock determined in accordance with Section 10.03 hereof. The Company shall deliver such shares of Common Stock, and pay any amount of cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock, on the third Trading Day immediately following the applicable Conversion Date.
(ii)    Cash Settlement. If Cash Settlement applies to a Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder of such Note an amount of cash equal to the product of (A)(x) the aggregate principal amount of such Note that is being converted, divided by (y) $1,000, and (B) the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days in the applicable Observation Period. The Company shall pay such amount of cash on the third Trading Day immediately following the final Trading Day of such Observation Period.
(iii)    Combination Settlement. If Combination Settlement applies to a Note, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the Holder of such Note, the product of (A)(x) the aggregate principal amount of such Note that is being converted, divided by (y) $1,000, and (B) the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days in the applicable Observation Period; provided, however, that the Company shall pay an amount of cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock determined in accordance with Section 10.03 below. The Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, such amount of cash and number of shares of Common Stock on the third Trading Day immediately following the final Trading Day of such Observation Period.
(iv)    Only for the purposes of determining amounts due upon conversion, “Trading Day” means a day on which (i) there is no Market Disruption Event and (ii) trading in the Common Stock generally occurs on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, on the primary other United States national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, on the principal other market on

-49-



which the Common Stock is then listed or admitted for trading. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted for trading, “Trading Day” means a “Business Day.”
(c)     The Company shall have the right to elect the Settlement Method as follows:
(i)    The Company shall use the same Settlement Method to settle every Note having the same Conversion Date (which Conversion Date occurs before the Final Conversion Period Start Date), except to the extent the Company is permitted to elect the Settlement Method pursuant to Section 10.27 or Section 10.28.
(ii)    The Company shall use the same Settlement Method to settle every Note having any Conversion Date that occurs on or after the Final Conversion Period Start Date, regardless of whether such Notes have the same Conversion Date, except as the Company may determine otherwise with respect to a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company for purposes of complying with Section 382.
(iii)    To elect the Settlement Method that will apply to every Note having the same Conversion Date (which Conversion Date occurs before the Final Conversion Period Start Date), on or prior to the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following such Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver to each Holder converting a Note on such date, through the Trustee, notice of the Settlement Method that will apply to every Note converted on such Conversion Date.
(iv)    To elect the Settlement Method that will apply to every Note having a Conversion Date on or after the Final Conversion Period Start Date, on or prior to the Final Conversion Period Start Date, the Company shall deliver to each Holder, through the Trustee, notice of the Settlement Method that will apply to every Note having a Conversion Date on or after the Final Conversion Period Start Date.
(v)    Whenever the Company elects to settle Notes with a Combination Settlement, the notice electing such Settlement Method must also state the maximum amount of cash that a Holder may receive (for any Combination Settlement, the “Specified Dollar Amount” for such Combination Settlement) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes that are subject to such Combination Settlement.
(vi)    If the Company fails to validly elect a Settlement Method (and Specified Dollar Amount, if applicable) in accordance with this Section 10.02(c) that will apply (i) to every Note having the same Conversion Date (which Conversion Date occurs before the Final Conversion Period Start Date) or (ii) every Note having a Conversion Date on or after the Final Conversion Period Start Date, as the case may be, then Combination Settlement will apply to every Note converted on such Conversion Date or Conversion Dates, as the case may be, and the Specified Dollar Amount for such Combination Settlement will equal $1,000.
(d)    Notices. Whenever a Conversion Date occurs with respect to a Note, the Conversion Agent shall, as promptly as possible, and in no event later than the first Scheduled Trading Day immediately following such Conversion Date, deliver to the Company and the Trustee notice that a Conversion Date has occurred, which notice will state such Conversion Date, the

-50-



principal amount of Notes converted on such Conversion Date and the names of the Holders that converted Notes on such Conversion Date.
On the first Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Observation Period applicable to any Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Conversion Agent and the Trustee stating (A) the Daily Settlement Amounts for each Trading Day in such Observation Period, and (B) the amount of cash, the number of shares of Common Stock, or the amount of cash and the number of shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, that the Company is obligated to pay or deliver, as the case may be, to satisfy its conversion obligation with respect to each Security converted on such Conversion Date.
(e)    A Holder receiving any Common Stock upon conversion shall not be entitled to any rights as a holder of Common Stock, including, among other things, the right to vote and receive dividends and notices of stockholder meetings, until (i) if Physical Settlement applies to such Note, at the Close of Business on the Conversion Date, and (ii) if Combination Settlement applies to such Note, at the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period.
(f)    No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on, or other distributions with respect to, any Common Stock except as provided in this Article 10. Upon conversion of a Note, a Noteholder will not receive, except as described below, any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any). Instead, any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) will be deemed paid by the shares of Common Stock received by the Noteholder upon conversion. Delivery to the Noteholder of such shares of Common Stock shall thus be deemed to satisfy (i) the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of a Note and (ii) the Company’s obligation to pay any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Note. As a result, upon conversion of a Note, accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Note is deemed paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.
(g)    Notwithstanding Section 10.02(f), if Notes are converted after a Regular Record Date but prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, Holders of such notes at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will receive the interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Such Notes, upon surrender for conversion, must be accompanied by cash equal to the amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment need be made (i) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date (including pursuant to 11.01(a)) that is after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, (ii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, (iii) with respect to any Notes converted after the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date or (iv) to the extent of any Defaulted Interest that exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.
(h)    Notwithstanding Section 10.02(f), if Notes are converted in connection with a redemption pursuant to Section 11.01(a), a Noteholder will receive, in addition to the amount of cash and number of shares of Common Stock, if any, due upon conversion, a cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to the Conversion Date.

-51-



(i)    If a Noteholder converts more than one Note at the same time, the amount of cash and number of shares of Common Stock, if any, due upon conversion shall be determined based on the total principal amount of the Notes converted.
(j) Upon surrender of a Note that is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of such Note, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Note surrendered.
Section 10.03. Fractional Shares.  If Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement applies to a Note and the Company’s Conversion Obligation with respect to such Note includes a fractional share of Common Stock, in lieu of delivering such fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall pay the converting holder, (A) if Physical Settlement applies to such Note, an amount of cash equal to the product of (x) such fraction of a share of Common Stock and (y) the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the issuance of such Common Stock, and, (B) if Combination Settlement applies to such Note, an amount of cash equal to the product of (x) such fraction of a share of Common Stock and (y) the Closing Price on the last Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period.
Section 10.04.     Taxes on Conversion.  If a Holder converts a Note, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates or effect the book-entry transfer representing Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because Common Stock is to be delivered or transferred in a name other than the Holder’s name.
Section 10.05.     Company to Provide Common Stock.  The Company shall, from time to time as may be necessary, reserve out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the delivery or book-entry transfer in respect of all outstanding Notes of the number of shares of Common Stock due upon conversion.
Any shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Notes shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free from any lien or adverse claim.
The Company shall comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes and shall list or cause to have quoted such shares of Common Stock on each national securities exchange or in the over‑the‑counter market or such other market on which Common Stock is then listed or quoted.
In addition, if any shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority before such shares of Common Stock may be issued upon such conversion, the Company shall cause such shares of Common Stock to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be.

-52-



Section 10.06.    Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock.  If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination of the Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0  x
OS1
OS0
where,
CR1 
=    the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or immediately after the opening of business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;
CR0 
=    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
OS0 
=    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable; and
OS1 
=    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination.
Any adjustment made under this Section 10.06 shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the opening of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 10.06 is declared but not so paid or made, or if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not split or combined, as the case may be, effective as of the date the Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such split or combination, the new Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted 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.
Section 10.07.     Adjustment for Rights, Options or Warrants Issue.  If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights, warrants or options (other than pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, provided that such rights plan provides for the issuance of such rights with respect to the Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase, for a period of 60 days following the issuance of such rights, warrants or options, shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement of the issuance of such rights, warrants or options, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula;

-53-



CR1 = CR0  x
OS0 + X
OS0 + Y
where,
CR1 
=    the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;
CR0 
=    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;
OS0 
=    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;
X
=    the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants or options; and
Y
=    the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants or options divided by the average of the Closing Prices over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement of the issuance of such rights, warrants or options.
Any increase made under this Section 10.07 shall be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution. However, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or upon the expiration or termination of such rights, warrants or options, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, warrants or options been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.
For the purposes of this Section 10.07, in determining whether any rights, warrants or options entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the Closing Prices for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day on which the announcement of the issuance of such rights, warrants or option occurs, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants or options, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, warrants or options and any amount payable upon exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, as shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. If all or a portion of any right, warrant or option described in this Section 10.07 is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if all or such portion of such right, warrant or option, as the case may be, had not been so issued by substituting the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered. Except in connection with any readjustment expressly provided for in this

-54-



paragraph of this Section 10.07, in no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.07.
If the Company elects to make a distribution described in this Section 10.07 that has a per share of Common Stock value equal to more than 15% of the Closing Price of Common Stock on the day preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, the Company shall be required to give notice to Holders at least 35 Business Days prior to the Ex‑Date for such distribution.
Section 10.08.    Adjustment for Other Distributions. 
(a)    If the Company distributes shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (excluding (i) dividends or distributions as to which adjustment is required to be effected pursuant to Section 10.06, (ii) rights, warrants or options as to which adjustment is required to be effected pursuant to Section 10.07, (iii) the initial distribution of rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, provided that such rights plan provides for the issuance of such rights with respect to Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes, (iv) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash and (v) spin-offs described below in Section 10.08(b)), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0  x
▇▇▇
▇▇▇ - FMV
where,
CR1 
=    the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;
CR0 
=    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;
SP0 
=    the average of the Closing Prices over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution; and
FMV
=    the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the earlier of the record date or the Ex-Date for such distribution.
Any adjustment made under this Section 10.08(a) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the FMV by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, then, in doing so, it must consider, to the extent applicable, the prices in such market over the same period used in computing SP0. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if FMV is equal to or greater than SP0, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall receive, on

-55-



the date on which such Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, or other assets or property are distributed to holders of Common Stock, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the amount of such Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, or other assets or property that a Person who was a holder of record, on the record date for such distribution, of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such distribution.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.08, if 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 of the Company, or other business unit, of the Company, which shares or equity interest are listed on a national or regional securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0  x
FMV0 + MP0
MP0
where,
CR1 
=    the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such Spin-Off;
CR0 
=    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such Spin-Off;
FMV0 
=    the average of the Closing Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one (1) share of Common Stock over the first five consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Ex-Date for such Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and
MP0 
=    the average of the Closing Prices per share of Common Stock over the Valuation Period.
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to the immediately preceding formula will be made immediately after the open of business on the day after the last day of the applicable Valuation Period, but will be given effect immediately on and after the Ex-Date for the applicable Spin-Off. If the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off is less than five Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Observation Period in respect of any conversion, references in this Section 10.08(b) to five trading days shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period. In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.08(b).
(c)    If the Company elects to make a distribution described in Section 10.08(a) or Section 10.08(b) that has a per share of Common Stock value equal to more than 15% of the Closing Price of Common Stock on the day preceding the declaration date for such distribution, the

-56-



Company shall be required to give notice to the Holders at least 35 Business Days prior to the Ex‑Date for such distribution.
(d)    If any such dividend or distribution described in Section 10.08(a) or (b) is declared but not paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or right had not been declared.
Section 10.09.    Adjustment for Cash Dividends.  If the Company pays any cash dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (other than (i) distributions described in Section 10.08 or Section 10.10, (ii) dividends or distributions made in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or (iii) upon a Disposition Event) during any of its quarterly fiscal periods, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0  x
▇▇▇
▇▇▇ - C
where,
CR1 
=    the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR0 
=    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;
SP0 
=    the average of the Closing Prices over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the earlier of the record date or the day prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;
C
=    the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock;
provided, however, that if C is equal to or greater than SP0, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive, on the date on which such cash dividend or distribution is distributed to holders of Common Stock and upon the same terms as such holders, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the amount of cash to be paid as a dividend or distribution by the Company in respect of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such Ex-Date. Any adjustment made under this Section 10.09 shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such cash dividend or distribution.
If any such dividend or distribution described in this Section 10.09 is declared but not paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or right had not been declared. Except in connection with any readjustment expressly provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, in no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.09.

-57-



Section 10.10.    Adjustment for Tender Offer.  If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock, where the cash and value of any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) included in the payment per share of Common Stock pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer exceeds the Closing Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date (such last date, the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0  x
AC + (SP1 x OS1)
OS0 x SP1
where,
CR1 
=    the new Conversion Rate in effect on the second day immediately following the Expiration Date;
CR0 
=    the conversion rate in effect on the day immediately following the Expiration Date;
AC
=    the aggregate of the cash and value of all other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for all shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender offer or exchange offer;
SP1 
=    the average of the Closing Prices over the five consecutive Trading Day period (the “Averaging Period”) commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;
OS1 
=    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer); and
OS0 
=    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer).
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to the immediately preceding formula will be made immediately prior to the open of business on the day after the last day of the applicable Averaging Period, but will be given effect on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date. If the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date is less than five Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Observation Period in respect of any conversion, references within this Section 10.10 to five Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, and including, the last trading day of such Observation Period. In respect of any conversion during the five Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, references within this Section 10.10 to five trading days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days

-58-



as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in an decrease of the Conversion Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, if the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made.
Section 10.11.    Provisions Governing Adjustment to 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 (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 Section 10.06, Section 10.07, Section 10.08, Section 10.09 or Section 10.10 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under Section 10.06, Section 10.07, Section 10.08, Section 10.09 or Section 10.10 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 Section 10.08, and, if applicable, Section 10.23. 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 Ex‑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), except as set forth in Section 10.23. In addition, except as set forth in Section 10.23, 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 Section 10.08 was made (including any adjustment contemplated in Section 10.23), (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 cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, 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.
Section 10.12.    Disposition Events.  If any of the following events (a “Disposition Event”) occurs:

-59-



(a)    any reclassification of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination);
(b)    a consolidation, merger, or other similar business combination involving the Company with and into another Person (other than with a Subsidiary of the Company); or
(c)    a sale or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (computed on a consolidated basis);
in each case, in which holders of outstanding Common Stock would be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property (or any combination thereof) for their shares of Common Stock, then (i) the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into shares of Common Stock will be changed to a right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of cash, securities or other property that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”), and (ii) upon conversion, the Notes shall be settled as set forth in this Section 10.12.
At and after the effective time of the Disposition Event, (i) the Company shall continue to have the right to determine the Settlement Method as set forth in Section 10.02 and (ii)(x) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes as set forth in 10.02 will continue to be payable in cash, (y) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes as set forth in Section 10.02 will instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Disposition Event and (z) the Closing Price will be calculated based on the value of a Unit of Reference Property (as determined by the Board of Directors) that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such Disposition Event would have owned or been entitled to receive in such Disposition Event based on the Weighted Average Consideration.
The Company shall deliver cash in lieu of fractional units of Reference Property as set forth pursuant to Section 10.03; provided that the amount of such cash shall be determined as if references in such Section to “Closing Price of Common Stock” were instead a reference to the Closing Price of a Unit of Reference Property composed of the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such Disposition Event would have owned or been entitled to receive in such Disposition Event based on the Weighted Average Consideration. If a Unit of Reference Property does not consist solely of one type of common stock that is listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, the adjustments to the Conversion Rate provided in this Article 10 hereof will be modified by the Board of Directors to provide the Holders with adjustments that have an economic effect on the Holders as nearly equivalent as practicable to the economic effect the adjustments provided by this Article 10 hereof would have had on the Holders but for such Disposition Event.
“Weighted Average Consideration” shall mean the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive cash, securities or other property with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock in any

-60-



Disposition Event who affirmatively make such an election. The Company shall notify the Holders of the Weighted Average Consideration as soon as practicable after the Weighted Average Consideration is determined.
Upon the occurrence of a Disposition Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person in such Disposition Event, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 9.02(b) providing for the conversion and settlement of the Notes that will provide that, at and after the effective time of the Disposition Event:
(A)    the Company or the successor or purchasing Person in such Disposition Event, as the case may be, will continue to have the right to choose the Settlement Method applicable to any converted Notes to the extent otherwise provided in Section 10.02 hereof;
(B)    any amount of cash that the Company or the successor or purchasing Person in such Disposition Event, as the case may be, would otherwise be required to pay pursuant to Sections 10.02 and 10.03 as part of the Conversion Obligation with respect to the Notes will continue to be payable in cash;
(C)    any number of shares of Common Stock that the Company would otherwise be required to deliver pursuant to Sections 10.02 and 10.03 hereof as part the Conversion Obligation with respect to a Note will instead be deliverable in Units of Reference Property (as determined by the Board of Directors);
(D)    the Closing Price will be calculated based on the value of a Unit of Reference Property; and
(E)    the Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustments that the Board of Directors determines are as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 10.
If, in the case of any Disposition Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Disposition Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person 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 3 herein.
In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 10.12, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or assets that will comprise the Reference Property after any such Disposition Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice thereof to all Noteholders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Noteholder, at its address appearing on the Register

-61-



provided for in this Indenture, within twenty days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
Section 10.13.    Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon a Non-Stock Change of Control or Conversion in Connection with Certain Redemptions; Discretionary Adjustment. 
(a)    If, after the date hereof, a Non-Stock Change of Control occurs and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Non-Stock Change of Control, or if the Company issues a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 11.01(a) and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such notice of redemption, the Company shall, under certain circumstances, increase the Applicable Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Make-Whole Shares”), as described in this Section 10.13. A conversion of Notes will be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Non-Stock Change of Control if the notice of conversion of the Notes is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Non-Stock Change of Control up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of an event that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Non-Stock Change of Control). Such conversion notice shall indicate that the Holder has elected to convert Notes in connection with a Non-Stock Change of Control; provided, however, that the failure to so indicate shall not in any way affect the obligation of the Company to convert such Notes or the right of such Holder to receive Make-Whole Shares. A conversion of Notes will be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a redemption pursuant to Section 11.01(a) if notice of conversion of the Notes is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the date the related notice of redemption is mailed pursuant to Section 11.03 until the close of business on the Business Day prior to the applicable Redemption Date. Such conversion notice shall indicate that the Holder has elected to convert Notes in connection with a redemption pursuant to Section 11.01(a); provided, however, that the failure to so indicate shall not in any way affect the obligation of the Company to convert such Notes or the right of such Holder to receive Make-Whole Shares.
On or before the 15th day after the occurrence of a Non-Stock Change of Control that does not also constitute a Fundamental Change, the Company will mail to the Trustee and to all Holders at their addresses shown in the Register of the Registrar, and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law, notice indicating that a Non-Stock Change of Control has occurred.
(b)    The number of Make-Whole Shares will be determined by reference to the table below and is based on the Effective Date and Stock Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, in the event that a conversion may be deemed to be both “in connection with” a Non-Stock Change of Control pursuant to Section 10.13(a) and “in connection with” a redemption pursuant to 11.01(a), such conversion will be deemed to be “in connection” with a Non-Stock Change of Control pursuant to Section 10.13(a) and not “in connection with” a redemption pursuant to 11.01(a).
(c)    The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the Applicable Conversion Rate is adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of

-62-



which is the Applicable Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment, and the denominator of which is the Applicable Conversion Rate as so adjusted. In addition, the number of Make-Whole Shares issuable in accordance with the table below will be subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Applicable Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 10.06 through Section 10.10.

(d) If the exact Stock Price and Effective Date is not set forth in the table, then (i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the Make-Whole Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Make-Whole Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and/or the earlier and later Effective Dates in the table, as applicable, based on a 365-day year, (ii) if the Stock Price is in excess of $80.00 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 10.13(c)), no Make-Whole Shares will be issued upon conversion of the Notes; and (iii) if the Stock Price is less than $34.48 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 10.13(c)), no Make-Whole Shares will be issued upon conversion of the Notes.
(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law and listing standards, the Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section 10.06, 10.07, 10.08, 10.09 and 10.10 as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law and listing standards, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time of at least 20 days or such longer period as may be required by applicable law, the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to holders of record of the Notes a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.
Section 10.14.    When Adjustment May Be Deferred.  No adjustment in the Conversion Rate need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate. Any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate will

be carried forward and taken into account in determining any subsequent adjustment. In addition, the Company shall make any carry forward adjustments not otherwise effected as a result of this Section 10.14 on each anniversary of the date hereof, upon conversion of any Note, on each of the Trading Days within any Observation Period, upon required repurchases of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, and on each day from and after the 19th Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Maturity Date.
Section 10.15.    When No Adjustment Required. 
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, no adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in Section 10.06, 10.07, 10.08, 10.09 or 10.10 if Noteholders participate, without conversion, in the transaction or event that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment pursuant to such Section at the same time as holders of Common Stock participate with respect to such transaction or event and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock participate with respect to such transaction or event as if Noteholders, at such time, held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Noteholder, without having to convert their Notes.
(b)    No adjustment need be made for the issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase Common Stock or any such security.
(c)    No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest.
(d)     No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of Common Stock.
(e)     To the extent the Notes become convertible pursuant to this Article 10 into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash. Interest will not accrue on the cash.
Section 10.16.    Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall (a) promptly mail to Noteholders a notice of the adjustment or make the new Conversion Rate and its effective date available on its website or through another public medium as the Company may use at that time; and (b) provide the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the new Conversion Rate and its effective date. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same to any Holder desiring inspection thereof.
Section 10.17.    Notice of Certain Transactions.  If (a) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.06, 10.07, 10.08, 10.09 or 10.10 (unless no adjustment is to occur pursuant to Section 10.14 or Section 10.15), (b) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 10.12, or (c) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, then the Company shall mail to Noteholders and file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a notice stating the proposed

-64-



Ex‑Date for a dividend or distribution or the proposed effective date of a subdivision, combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance. The Company shall file and mail the notice at least 15 days before such date; provided that if the Company elects to make a distribution described in Section 10.07, Section 10.08, or Section 10.09, and in the case of Section 10.08 or Section 10.09, that has a per share value equal to more than 15% of the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the day preceding the declaration date for such distribution, the Company shall give notice to Holders at least 35 Business Days prior to the Ex‑Date for such distribution. Failure to file or mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of the transaction.
Section 10.18.    Right of Holders to Convert.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right to convert its Note in accordance with this Article 10, and to bring an action for the enforcement of any such right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 10.19.    Company Calculations; Company Determination Final.  The Company shall be responsible for making all calculations called for hereunder and under the Notes. These calculations include, but are not limited to, the Volume Weighted Average Price, the Weighted Average Consideration, Daily Conversion Values, Daily Settlement Amounts, the Closing Price, the Conversion Price, the Applicable Conversion Rate, the Specified Dollar Amount, the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, the Designated Repurchase Price, the Daily Measurement Value, the Applicable Conversion Price, the Five-Day VWAP and the amount of cash and number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Notes. The Company shall provide a schedule of the Company’s calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. Whenever a provision of this Indenture requires the calculation of the Closing Prices, the Daily Conversion Values, the Daily Settlement Amounts, the Last Reported Sale Prices or any functions thereof over a span of multiple days (including, without limitation, during an Observation Period and during the five Trading Day period used to determine the Stock Price for a Fundamental Change), the Company shall make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Date, effective date or Expiration Date of the event occurs at any time during the period in which the Closing Price, the Daily Conversion Values, the Daily Settlement Amounts, or functions thereof are to be calculated. The Company shall make all these calculations using commercially reasonable means and, absent manifest error, the Company’s calculations will be final and binding on Noteholders.
Section 10.20.    Trustee’s Adjustment Disclaimer.  The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 10 should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee has no duty to determine whether a supplemental indenture under Section 10.12 need be entered into or whether any provisions of any supplemental indenture are correct. The Trustee shall not be accountable for and makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Notes. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this Article 10. Each Conversion Agent shall have the same protection under this Section 10.20 as the Trustee.

-65-



Section 10.21. Simultaneous Adjustments.  For purposes of Section 10.08, Section 10.06 and Section 10.07, any dividend or distribution to which Section 10.08 is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the debt securities, assets or shares of Capital Stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights, options or warrants (and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 10.08 with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 10.06 and Section 10.07 with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution” within the meaning of Section 10.06.
Section 10.22.     Successive Adjustments.  After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Article 10, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Article 10 shall cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.
Section 10.23.     Rights Issued in Respect of Common Stock Issued Upon Conversion. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes pursuant to this Article 10 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights (“Rights”), if any, and the certificates representing Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any rights plan (i.e., a poison pill) adopted by the Company, as the same may be amended from time to time, is in effect, (in each case, a “Shareholders Rights Plan”). Upon conversion of the Notes a Holder will receive, in addition to any Common Stock received in connection with such conversion, the Rights under the Shareholders Rights Plan, unless prior to any conversion, the Rights have separated from Common Stock, in which case the Applicable Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of Common Stock, shares of Company Capital Stock, assets, debt securities or certain rights to purchase securities of the Company as described in Section 10.08, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. Any distribution of Rights pursuant to the Shareholders Rights Plan that would allow a Holder to receive upon conversion, in addition to shares of Common Stock, the Rights described therein (unless such Rights have separated from Common Stock) shall not constitute a distribution of Rights that would entitle the Holder to an adjustment to the Conversion Rate.
Section 10.24.    Withholding Taxes for Adjustments in Conversion Rate.  The Company may, at its option, set-off withholding taxes due with respect to Notes against payments of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, and cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock that cannot be issued pursuant to Section 10.27 or Section 10.28, if any. In the case of any such set-off against Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Notes, such Common Stock shall be valued based on the average of the Closing Prices for the last 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the date of payment of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, and cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock that cannot be issued pursuant to Section 10.27 or Section 10.28, if any, on the Notes.
Section 10.25.    Reserved. 

-66-



Section 10.26. Restricted Shares. 
Any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Transfer Restricted Notes that are “restricted securities” under Rule 144 are “Restricted Shares”. Any Restricted Shares shall bear appropriate legends regarding restrictions of the transfer of such Restricted Shares comparable to those set forth on Exhibit D.
Section 10.27.     Limitation on Issuance of Common Stock.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, unless the Company shall have received the shareholder approval described in Section 10.27(c), the Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Indenture (such shares, “Indenture Shares”) if, after giving effect to such issuance, the sum of (i) the aggregate number of issued Indenture Shares (taking into account any adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Article 10) minus, if applicable, (ii) the product of (x) each share of Preferred Stock that through the date of calculation has been exchanged in the Exchange Transactions for cancellation as consideration for issuances of Indenture Shares multiplied by (y) the conversion rate for such share of Preferred Stock in effect on the date of the Exchange Agreement pursuant to which such share of Preferred Stock was exchanged, would exceed the “Maximum Shares” as calculated at the time of the proposed issuance by the following formula:

MS = (0.1999 x OS)
where,
MS = the Maximum Shares; and

OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on November 18, 2013, as appropriately adjusted for any subsequent event that would give rise to a change in the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Article 10.
(b)    If Indenture Shares otherwise issuable under the Indenture would, if issued, result in aggregate issuances of Indenture Shares exceeding the Maximum Shares as contemplated in Section 10.27(a), the Company shall, in lieu of issuing such shares of Common Stock, satisfy its obligation by a cash payment, to the extent permitted under the Company’s then outstanding Senior Debt, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is unable to issue pursuant to Section 10.27(a) multiplied by (ii) the Five-Day VWAP. In the event that any such cash payment is not permitted under the Company’s then outstanding Senior Debt, Holders shall not be entitled to receive any consideration in lieu of the shares of Common Stock that it cannot issue pursuant to Section 10.27(a).
(c)    The restrictions of Section 10.27(a) shall automatically terminate if and when the shareholders of the Company duly approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock under the Indenture in excess of the Maximum Shares for purposes of Section 312.03 of the New York Stock

Exchange Listed Company Manual or any comparable rule of any other principal exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded.
Section 10.28.    5% Shareholder Limitations. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 10, no Holder shall be entitled to acquire shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of any Note to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Holder or a Related Person (i) is or was a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company at any time during the Section 382 Testing Period ending on the applicable Conversion Date or (ii) would as a result of the acquisition of Common Stock in connection with the conversion become a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company. Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion by a Holder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Holder or a Related Person (i) is or was a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company at any time during the Section 382 Testing Period ending on the applicable Conversion Date or (ii) would as a result of the acquisition of Common Stock in connection with the conversion become a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company. If any delivery of shares of Common Stock owed to any Holder upon conversion is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the limitations in this Section 10.28, such Holder may either (i) receive a cash payment in lieu of such shares of Common Stock, to the extent permitted under the Company’s then outstanding Senior Debt, in an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is unable to issue pursuant to this Section 10.28 multiplied by (y) the Five-Day VWAP or (ii) request the return of the Notes surrendered by it for conversion, after which the Company shall deliver such Notes to such Holder within two Trading Days after receipt of such request.
Section 10.29.    Waiver of 5% Shareholder Provisions.
The Company may, at its option, waive (as to a particular Holder or as to all Holders) any restrictions that limit a Holder from converting its Notes in the event that such Holder or a Related Person (i) is or was a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company at any time during the Section 382 Testing Period ending on the applicable Conversion Date or (ii) would as a result of the acquisition of Common Stock in connection with the conversion of such Notes become a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company. In the event that the Company exercises its rights pursuant to this Section 10.29 to waive any such restrictions as to all Holders, the Company or, at the written request and expense of the Company, the Trustee, shall mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder 30 days prior to the effective waiver date an irrevocable notice stating that as of an effective date specified therein, the Company waives any restrictions that limit a Holder from converting its Notes in the event that such Holder or a Related Person (i) is or was a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company at any time during the Section 382 Testing Period ending on the applicable Conversion Date or (ii) would as a result of the acquisition of Common Stock in connection with the conversion of such Notes become a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company (such notice, the “5% Shareholder Provision Waiver Notice”).
After the date of the mailing of such 5% Shareholder Provision Waiver Notice, whenever in the Notes or in this Indenture there is a reference, in any context, to any limitation on the ability of a Holder to convert its Notes to the extent that such Holder or a Related Person (i) is or was a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company at any time during the Section 382 Testing Period ending

-68-



on the applicable Conversion Date or (ii) would as a result of the acquisition of Common Stock in connection with the conversion of such Notes become a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company, such limitation shall be deemed waived, and such reference shall be qualified by the optional waiver provisions of this Section 10.29. Any express mention of such limitation on the ability of a Holder to convert its Notes shall not be construed as excluding the optional waiver provisions of this Section 10.29 in those provisions of this Indenture when such express mention is not made.
After the date of the mailing of the 5% Shareholder Provision Waiver Notice, the Company may at its option prepare, and the Trustee shall execute, a supplemental indenture to this Indenture that eliminates any provisions of the Indenture in respect of any limitation on the ability of a Holder to convert its Notes to the extent that such Holder or a Related Person (i) is or was a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company at any time during the Section 382 Testing Period ending on the applicable Conversion Date or (ii) would as a result of the conversion of such Notes become a 5% Shareholder with respect to the Company.

ARTICLE 11    

REDEMPTION
Section 11.01.    Right to Redeem; Notices to Trustee.
(a)    The Company shall have the right, at the Company’s option, at any time, on a Redemption Date before December 1, 2018, to redeem all or, from time to time, any part of the Notes if the Volume Weighted Average Price is at least one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the then current Conversion Price for each of at least 20 Trading Days in the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day prior to the mailing or sending of the notice of redemption pursuant to Section 11.03.
(b)    The Company shall also have the right, on or after December 1, 2018, to redeem the Notes in whole or in part at the option of the Company.
(c)    The redemption price at which the Notes are redeemable (the “Redemption Price”) shall be payable in cash and shall be equal to 100% of the principal of Notes to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if Notes are redeemed on any Interest Payment Date, the interest payable in respect of such Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of record as of the corresponding Regular Record Date.
(d)    The Company may not redeem any Notes unless all accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Notes has been or is simultaneously paid for all semi-annual periods or portions thereof terminating prior to the Redemption Date. In addition, the Company may not redeem any Notes or deliver to any Holder of Notes a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 11.03 at any time when there exists any accrued and unpaid Defaulted Interest.

-69-



(e)    If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of this Article 11, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate stating (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (iv) the Redemption Price (or manner of calculation if not then known), (v) such election has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company, and (vi) complies with any applicable covenants or conditions precedent set forth in this Indenture. Any redemption may be cancelled by the Company upon written notice to the Trustee at any time prior to notice of redemption being sent to any Holder and thereafter shall be null and void. If the Redemption Price is not known at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as described in the terms of the Notes, will be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date.
Section 11.02.    Selection of Notes to be Redeemed.  If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate or as required by the Applicable Procedures (so long as such method is not prohibited by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Notes are then listed, as applicable). The Trustee shall make the selection within seven days from its receipt of the notice from the Company delivered pursuant to Section 11.03 from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.
Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in minimum principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption in whole also apply to Notes called for redemption in part. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.
If any Note selected for partial redemption is converted in part, the converted portion of such Note shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Notes which have been converted during a selection of Notes to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.
Section 11.03.    Notice of Redemption.  At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, and in the case of Global Notes registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, shall send such notice of redemption in accordance with the Applicable Procedures; provided, however, that the Company may not deliver any such notice to any Holder of Notes at any time when there exists any accrued and unpaid Defaulted Interest.
The notice shall specify the Notes to be redeemed (including “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or similar numbers) and shall state:
(i)    the Redemption Date;
(ii)    the Redemption Price;


-70-



(iii)    the Applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments thereto;
(iv)    the name and address of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;
(v)    that Notes called for redemption may be converted at any time before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date; and
(vi)    the procedures a Holder must follow to exercise rights under Section 3.01.
At the Company’s written request delivered at least 30 days prior to the date such notice is to be given to the Holders (unless a shorter time period shall be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense.
Section 11.04.    Effect of Notice of Redemption.  Once notice of redemption is given, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price stated in the notice except for Notes that are converted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the Redemption Price stated in the notice.
Section 11.05.    Deposit of Redemption Price.  On or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Redemption Date) sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price of all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be redeemed as of the Redemption Date.
If the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price with respect to the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed on the Redemption Date in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, then, immediately on and after the Redemption Date, interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue, whether or not the Notes are delivered to the Paying Agent, and all other rights of the Holders of such Notes shall terminate, other than the right to receive the Redemption Price upon delivery of such Notes.
Section 11.06.    Notes Redeemed in Part.  Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered that is not redeemed.

ARTICLE 12    

PAYMENT OF INTEREST
Section 12.01.    Interest Payments.  Interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for on the Notes or, if no interest has been paid, from November 18, 2013, through the day before each Interest Payment Date. Interest on any Note that is payable (including Additional Interest, if any), and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any applicable Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note is registered at the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose. Each installment of interest payable in cash on any Note shall be paid in same-day funds by transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the United States, if the Trustee shall have received proper wire transfer instructions from such payee not later than the related Regular Record Date or, if no such instructions have been received, by check drawn on a bank in the United States mailed to the payee at its address set forth on the Registrar’s books. In the case of a Global Note, interest payable on any applicable Interest Payment Date will be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds to the Depositary for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in respect of such Global Note to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof. If Additional Interest or Contingent Interest is payable on the Notes, the Company shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee on or before the Regular Record Date for each Interest Payment Date such Additional Interest is payable setting forth the accrual period and the amount of such Additional Interest or Contingent Interest in reasonable detail. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officer’s Certificate or other notice received from the Company relating to Additional Interest or Contingent Interest to any Holder upon request. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Additional Interest or Contingent Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Additional Interest or Contingent Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.
Section 12.02.    Defaulted Interest.  Any interest on any Note that is payable (including Additional Interest, if any), but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, within 30 days following any applicable payment date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”, which term shall include any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such defaulted amount in accordance with paragraph 1 of the Notes), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of his having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Section 12.02(a) or Section 12.02(b) below.
(a)    The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the Close of Business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 30 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Paying

-72-



Agent an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed 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 provided in this Section 12.02(a). Thereupon, the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment (the “Special Record Date”). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Notes at his address as it appears on the list of Noteholders maintained pursuant to Section 2.05 not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the Close of Business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to Section 12.02(b).
(b)    The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 12.02(b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Section 12.03.    Contingent Interest.  In addition to any other interest payable pursuant to this Article 12 or the Notes, beginning with the six month period beginning on, and including, December 1, 2018, if the Contingent Interest Trading Price of the Notes for each Trading Day of the five consecutive Trading Day period (the “Contingent Interest Measurement Period”) ending on, and including, the second Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of any Contingent Interest Period is equal to or greater than the Upside Trigger, then the Company shall pay contingent interest (“Contingent Interest”) to the Holders in accordance with this Section 12.03. For the avoidance of doubt, the first date upon which Contingent Interest, if any, will be paid, will be June 1, 2019.
The amount of Contingent Interest payable per $1,000 principal amount of Notes in respect of any Contingent Interest Period, if applicable, shall be equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the average Contingent Interest Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes during the five consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the second Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of such Contingent Interest Period. Contingent Interest shall accrue from the first day of the applicable Contingent Interest Period to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date immediately following the end of such Contingent Interest Period. For avoidance of doubt, regular cash interest shall continue to accrue at the per annum rate of 2.00% on the principal amount of the Notes whether or not Contingent Interest is paid, and Contingent Interest, if any, shall be in addition to such regular cash interest.
The Company shall determine the daily Contingent Interest Trading Prices of the Notes during each Contingent Interest Measurement Period during which any Notes are outstanding.

-73-



Upon determining that the Notes shall begin to accrue Contingent Interest during a Contingent Interest Period, the Company shall, on or before the beginning of such Contingent Interest Period, notify Holders and the Trustee of the fact that Contingent Interest has become payable and the amount of such Contingent Interest payable per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
Contingent Interest, if any, shall accrue and be payable in the same manner, and on the same dates, as the stated interest payable on the Notes.
Section 12.04.    Interest Rights Preserved.  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article 12 and Section 2.06, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid (including Additional Interest, if any), and to accrue, which were carried by such other Notes.
Section 12.05.    Computation of Interest.  Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period.
ARTICLE 13    

TAX TREATMENT; SUBORDINATION
Section 13.01.    Tax Treatment.  The Company agrees, and by purchasing a beneficial ownership interest in the Notes each Holder, and any Person that acquires a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Notes, will be deemed to have agreed:
(a)    for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Company that is subject to U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4 (the “Contingent Payment Regulations”);
(b)    for purposes of the Contingent Payment Regulations, to treat the fair market value of any shares of Common Stock and cash beneficially received by a beneficial holder upon any conversion of the Notes as a contingent payment;
(c)    to be bound by the Company’s determination that the Notes are contingent payment debt instruments subject to the “noncontingent bond method” within the meaning of the Contingent Payment Regulations;
(d)    to accrue original issue discount at the comparable yield as determined by the Company; and
(e)    to be bound by the Company’s projected payment schedule with respect to the Notes.
Section 13.02.    Comparable Yield and Projected Payment Schedule. Solely for purposes of applying Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-4 to the Notes:

(a)    for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company shall accrue interest with respect to outstanding Notes as original issue discount according to the “noncontingent bond method,” as set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-4(b), using a comparable yield of seven and eighty-four one hundredths percent (7.84%), compounded semi-annually, and the projected payment schedule as determined by the Company; and
(b)    the Company acknowledges and agrees, and each Holder and any beneficial owner of a Note, by its purchase of a Note, shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree, that (A) the comparable yield and the projected payment schedule are not determined for any purpose other than for the purpose of applying Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-4(b)(4) to the Notes; and (B) the comparable yield and the projected payment schedule do not constitute a projection or representation regarding the future stock price or the actual amounts payable on the Notes.
Holders that wish to obtain the amount of original issue discount, issue price, issue date, comparable yield and projected payment schedule may do so by submitting a written request to the Company (to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer) at the address set forth in Section 14.03 hereof.
Section 13.03.    Notes Subordinate to Senior Debt . The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder, by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article, the indebtedness represented by the Notes and the payment of the principal of and interest on (including Additional Interest, if any), each and all of the Notes, whether a Holder holds such Notes upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt.
Section 13.04.    Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.
(a) In the event of (i) a Bankruptcy Default, or (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (iii) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company, then and in any such event the Holders shall not be entitled to receive any payment on account of principal of, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any), on, or with respect to the conversion of, the Notes (except, to the extent required by applicable law, payments made pursuant to Article 8 from monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant thereto prior to commencement of such case, proceeding, liquidation, dissolution or other winding up event, or assignment for the benefit of creditors) unless and until the holders of Senior Debt shall have received payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Debt, or provision shall have been made for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt. The Holders, by their acceptance of such Notes, shall be deemed to have consented, agreed and acknowledged that the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including, without limitation, any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Notes, which may be

-75-



payable or deliverable in respect of the Notes in any such case, proceeding, liquidation, dissolution or other winding up event.

Any taxes that have been withheld or deducted from any payment or distribution in respect of the Notes, or any taxes that ought to have been withheld or deducted from any such payment or distribution that have been remitted to the relevant taxing authority, shall not be considered to be an amount that the Trustee or the Holder receives for purposes of this Section 13.04.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, for purposes of this Article 13 only, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of Capital Stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities, including warrants to purchase securities, of the Company or any other corporation or other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Debt which may at the time be outstanding to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Notes are so subordinated as provided in this Article 13. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, or the conveyance, transfer or lease by the Company of its properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to, another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article 5, or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following any such conveyance, transfer or lease, shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company for the purposes of this Section 13.04 if the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease of such properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions set forth in Article 5.
Section 13.05.    Prior Payment to Senior Debt Upon Acceleration of Notes.
(a) In the event that any Notes are declared due and payable before the Maturity Date, then and in such event the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Debt, or provision shall be made for such payment in cash or cash equivalents, before the Holders are entitled to receive any payment (including any payment which may be payable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Notes) by the Company on account of the

-76-



principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Notes or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Notes.
(b) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.05, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Company.
Section 13.06.    No Payment When Senior Debt in Default.
(a) Subject to Section 13.06(c), (i) (A) in the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Senior Debt beyond any applicable grace period with respect thereto (a “Payment Default”), or (B) in the event that any event of default, other than a Payment Default, with respect to any Senior Debt shall have occurred and be continuing permitting the holders of such Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of the holders thereof) to declare such Senior Debt due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives a written notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from the Company or a representative of the Senior Debt, or (ii) in the event any judicial proceeding shall be pending with respect to any such Payment Default or event of default that shall be deemed to have occurred for the purpose of this Section 13.06, then no payment (including any payment which may be payable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Notes) shall be made by the Company on account of principal of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any), on, or with respect to the conversion of, the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the delivery of a Payment Blockage Notice, no new Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered and no new period of payment blockage with respect to the Notes may begin until both (i) 365 days have elapsed since the effectiveness of the first Payment Blockage Notice and (ii) all scheduled payments of principal and Interest with respect to the Notes that are due have been paid in full in cash. No default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice with respect to the Senior Debt whose holders delivered the Payment Blockage Notice may be made the basis of a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice by the holders of such Senior Debt, whether or not within a period of 365 consecutive days.
The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Notes upon: (1) in the case of a Payment Default, the date upon which the default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, or (2) in the case of any event of default of the kind specified in Section 13.06(a)(i)(B), the earlier of the date on which such default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, in each case as and to the extent permitted under the documentation for the Senior Debt, or the 179th day after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, in each case, unless the maturity of the Senior Debt has been accelerated or this Article 13 otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time of such payment or distribution.
(b) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder prohibited by the provisions of this Section 13.06, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case may be,

-77-



such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Company.
(c) No default in payment or event of default with respect to any Senior Debt shall be deemed to be a default in payment or event of default of the kind specified in Section 13.06(a)(i)(A) or Section 13.06(a)(i)(B), and no judicial proceeding with respect to any such default in payment or event of default shall be deemed to be a judicial proceeding of the kind specified in Section 13.06(a)(ii), if (x) the Company shall be disputing the occurrence or continuation of such default in payment or event of default, or any obligation purportedly giving rise to such default in payment or event of default, and (y) no final judgment holding that such default in payment or event of default has occurred and is continuing shall have been issued. For this purpose, a “final judgment” means a judgment that is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, is binding on the Company, is in full force and effect and is not subject to judicial appeal or review (including, without limitation, because the time within which a party may seek appeal or review has expired); provided that, if any such judgment has been issued but is subject to judicial appeal or review, it shall nevertheless be deemed to be a final judgment unless the Company shall in good faith be prosecuting such appeal or a proceeding for such review.
Section 13.07.    Payment Permitted in Certain Situations. Nothing contained in this Article 13 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except during the pendency of any case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company referred to in Section 13.04 or under the conditions described in Section 13.05 or 13.06, from making payments at any time of or on account of the principal of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any), on the Notes or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of the Notes, or (b) the application by the Trustee of any money deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes or the retention of such payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge that such payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article 13.
Section 13.08.    Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, the Holders shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13 (equally and ratably with the holders of indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Notes are subordinated to the Senior Debt and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13 to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt.

-78-



Section 13.09.    Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of Section 13.03 through Section 13.16, inclusive, are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing contained in Section 13.03 through Section 13.16, inclusive, or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this Article of the holders of Senior Debt, is intended to rank equally with all other general obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders the principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any), on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Debt; or (c) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 13 of the holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.
Section 13.10.    Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each Holder of a Security by his, her or its acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his, her or its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article 13 and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
Section 13.11.    No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.
(a) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.
(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the Holders, by acceptance of such Notes, shall be deemed to have consented, agreed and acknowledged that the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 13 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.
Section 13.12.    Notice to Trustee.
(a) The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the

-79-



Notes. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 13 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Notes, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior Debt or from any trustee therefor; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article 7, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist. For the avoidance of doubt, if on a date at least five Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any moneys shall become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, or interest on any Note) the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice of prohibition provided for in this Section, then, regardless of anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Article 7, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 13, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 13, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.
Regardless of anything to the contrary herein, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Trustee to the Holders of the Notes of amounts deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01 or Section 8.03.
Section 13.13.    Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article 7, and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 13.
Section 13.14.    Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt . The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt under this Indenture and shall not be liable to any such holders or creditors if it shall in good faith pay over or distribute to the Holders or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders

-80-



of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 13 and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
Section 13.15.    Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt; Preservation of Trustee’s Rights. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Debt which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.
Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.10 or Section 7.07.
Section 13.16.    Article Applicable to Paying Agents . In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 13 shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article 13 in addition to or in place of the Trustee.

2.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Note due 2043
Principal and Interest.
The Company promises to pay the principal of this Note on December 1, 2043.
The Company promises to pay interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the principal amount of this Note on each Interest Payment Date, as set forth on the face of this Note, at the rate of 2.00% per annum.
Interest (including Additional Interest, if any) will be payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year (to the holders of record of the Notes at the Close of Business on the May 15 or November 15 immediately preceding the interest payment date), commencing June 1, 2014.
Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for on this Note or, if no interest has been paid, from November 18, 2013, through the day before each Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30‑day months and for any period shorter than a full month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period.
The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest at a rate per annum that is 1% in excess of 2.00%. Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons that are Holders on a Special Record Date, which will established as set forth in the Indenture referred to below.
In addition to the foregoing, beginning with the six (6) month period beginning on, and including, December 1, 2018, if the Contingent Interest Trading Price of the Notes for each Trading Day of the five consecutive Trading Day period (the “Contingent Interest Measurement Period”) ending on, and including, the second Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of any Contingent Interest Period, is equal to or greater than the Upside Trigger, then the Company shall pay contingent interest (“Contingent Interest”) to the Holder of this Note in accordance with Section 12.03 of the Indenture.
The amount of Contingent Interest payable per $1,000 principal amount of Notes in respect of any Contingent Interest Period, if applicable, shall be equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the average Contingent Interest Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes during the five consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the second Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of such Contingent Interest Period. Contingent Interest shall accrue from the first day of the applicable Contingent Interest Period to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date immediately following the end of such Contingent Interest Period, and Contingent Interest shall be payable to Holders in the same manner as regular cash interest. For avoidance of

A-3



doubt, regular cash interest shall continue to accrue at the per annum rate of two percent (2.00%) on the principal amount of this Note whether or not Contingent Interest is paid, and Contingent Interest, if any, shall be in addition to such regular cash interest.
As used herein, the term “interest” includes Contingent Interest, if any, but without duplication.
