Article II

THE NOTES AND GENERAL PROVISIONS

2.01. Title and General Terms. Subject to and in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Base Indenture, the Company hereby establishes the Notes as a series of Securities to be issued under the Indenture with the title “3.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2042.” The principal amount of the Notes shall mature on the Maturity Date, unless such Note is no longer outstanding at such time or the principal amount has theretofore been accelerated in accordance with the Indenture. The Notes shall not be secured by any collateral. All payments on the Notes shall be made in the lawful currency of the United States of America.

2.02. Aggregate Initial Principal Amount. Subject to being increased by the Company from time to time as shall be stated in an Officers’ Certificate, the aggregate initial principal amount of the Notes which may be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Eighth Supplemental Indenture (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.12, 3.06 or 9.05 of the Base Indenture and except for Notes which, pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Base Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered) is three hundred and ninety million dollars ($390,000,000). The Company may issue additional Notes from time to time hereunder, subject to the provisions of Section 2.04 of the Base Indenture. All Notes issued on the Issue Date together with any such additional Notes issued under this Eighth Supplemental Indenture will be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture.

2.03. Form. The Notes will be Registered Securities issued in registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be obligated to issue any Note that whose principal amount is not $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes shall be initially issued in the form of one or more Global Securities substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The initial Depositary with respect to the Notes shall be DTC. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling to the extent of such conflict.

2.04. Payment on Global Securities. Except as provided in the immediately following paragraph, principal and interest on the Notes will be paid (i) on Notes held in the form of Global

Securities, to the Depositary or its nominee in immediately available funds; (ii) on any definitive Note that is not held in the form of Global Securities and that has an aggregate principal amount of five million dollars ($5,000,000) or less, by check mailed to the Holder of such Note; and (iii) on any definitive Note that is not held in the form of Global Securities and that has an aggregate principal amount of more than five million dollars ($5,000,000), by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the election of the Holder of such Note, which election is duly delivered to the Trustee at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the relevant Interest Payment Date or other payment date, as applicable.

At the Maturity Date, the Company will pay the principal and interest (i) on Notes held in the form of Global Securities, to the Depositary or its nominee in immediately available funds; and (ii) on definitive Notes that are not held in the form of Global Securities, at the Company’s office or agency in New York City, which initially will be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in New York City.

2.05. Certain Amendments to the Base Indenture.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the text of the fourth (4th) paragraph of Section 2.08 of the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be replaced in its entirety with the following text: “Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, a Note held in the form of a Global Security 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, however, that a Note held in the form of a Global Security may be exchanged for a Note registered in the name of any Person designated by the Depositary in the event that (i) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security 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; (ii) the Company receives a request by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures following a request of the beneficial owner of such Note seeking to enforce its rights under such Note or the Indenture; or (iii) the Company elects, at any time in its sole discretion, to discontinue use of the system of book entry transfer through any Depositary. Any Note that is held in the form of a Global Security and that is exchanged pursuant to clause (i) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Note that is held in the form of a Global Security and that is exchanged pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Depositary (in the case of clause (ii)) or by the Company (in the case of clause (iii)).”

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the text of Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be replaced in its entirety with the following text: “At any time when the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the Trustee, within fifteen (15) days after it actually files the same with the SEC (regardless of when the same is required to be filed with the SEC), each annual, quarterly or current report, information or proxy statement other report which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file or deliver to the Trustee any material for which the Company has sought and received, or is seeking, confidential treatment by the SEC. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a). Delivery of such reports or statements to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of the same shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants in the Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officers’ Certificates).”

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, (i) the word “Restricted” shall, for purposes of the Notes, be stricken from the text of Section 4.05 of the Base Indenture; and (ii) the phrase “of successor” in Section 1.04(f) of the Base Indenture shall be replaced with the phrase “or successor”.

Attention: Account Manager – Omnicare

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the first sentence of the second (2nd) paragraph of Section 7.07 of the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be replaced with the following sentence: “The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by any of them arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Trustee’s duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to their gross negligence or bad faith.”

2.06. Interest.

(a) Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes at the rate per annum equal to three and three quarters percent (3.75%). The Company will pay interest on the Notes, semi-annually in arrears, on April 1and October 1 of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), with the first payment to be made on October 1, 2012, to holders of record at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15, respectively (each such date, the “Regular Record Date,” and the Interest Payment Date immediately following each Regular Record Date shall be deemed to be the Interest Payment Date that “corresponds” to such Regular Record Date), in each case except as provided in Section 3.01 and Section 4.01(a) and in the immediately following paragraph of this Section 2.06(a). Interest on the Notes will accrue on the principal amount from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from, and including, April 3, 2012, in each case to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

On the Maturity Date, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest on each Note to the Person to whom the Company pays the principal amount of such Note, instead of to the Holder on the preceding Regular Record Date.

(b) Without duplication, interest shall accrue on Defaulted Interest, if any, pursuant to the second (2nd) paragraph of Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture.

(c) In addition to the foregoing, (i) beginning with the six (6) month period beginning on, and including, April 1, 2020, if the Contingent Interest Trading Price of the Notes for each Trading Day of the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Contingent Interest Measurement Period”) ending on, and including, the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of any six (6) month period (each such period, a “Contingent Interest Period”) from, and including, an Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date 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 2.06(c) and (ii) beginning with the six (6) month period beginning on and including April 1, 2019, if the Contingent Interest Trading Price of the Notes for each Trading Day of the Contingent Interest Measurement Period ending on, and including, the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of any Contingent Interest Period is less than or equal to the Downside Trigger, then the Company shall pay Contingent Interest to the Holders in accordance with this Section 2.06(c).

The amount of Contingent Interest payable per $1,000 principal amount of Notes in respect of any Contingent Interest Period, if applicable, shall (i) in the event that Contingent Interest is payable as a result of the Upside Trigger, 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 (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of such Contingent Interest Period and (ii) in the event that Contingent Interest is payable as a result of the Downside Trigger, be equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the principal amount of such Notes. Contingent Interest shall accrue from the first day of the applicable Contingent Interest Period through, 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 doubt, regular cash interest shall continue to accrue at the per annum rate of three and three quarters percent (3.75%) 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. 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 Trading Price” has the same meaning ascribed to “Trading Price,” except that if the Company cannot reasonably obtain at least one (1) bid for five million dollars ($5,000,000) in principal amount of the Notes from a nationally recognized securities dealer or, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, the bid quotations are not indicative of the secondary market value of the Notes, then the Contingent Interest Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes will be determined by a nationally recognized securities dealer retained by the Company for such purpose.

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.

2.07. Legal Holidays. If a date on which a payment is to be made with respect to any Note is not a Business Day, then payment may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on that payment for the intervening period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the second sentence of the definition of “Business Day” in Section 1.01 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

Article III

REDEMPTION

3.01. Right to Redeem.

(a) The Company shall have the right, at the Company’s option, at any time, on a Redemption Date on or before April 1, 2016, to redeem (a “Redemption”) all or, from time to time, any part of the Notes at a Redemption Price payable in cash equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus the Coupon Make-Whole Payment as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, such Redemption Date if the Daily VWAP is at least one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the then current Conversion Price for each of at least twenty (20) Trading Days in the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day prior to the mailing of the notice of Redemption pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture and Section 3.02 hereof.

(b) The Company shall have the right, at the Company’s option, at any time, on a Redemption Date after April 1, 2016, to redeem (also, a “Redemption”) all or, from time to time, any part of the Notes at a Redemption Price payable in cash equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), and anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, (i) if the Redemption Date with respect to a Note is after a Regular Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, then accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, such Redemption Date shall be paid, on such Redemption Date, to the Holder of such Note at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and the Holder surrendering such Note for Redemption shall not be entitled to any such interest unless such Holder was also the Holder of record of such Note at the close of business on such Regular Record Date and (ii) in no event shall the Company redeem any Notes at a time when the Company has failed to pay interest on the Notes and such failure to pay is continuing

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the second sentence of the final paragraph of Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

3.02. Notice of Redemption.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, (A) the final paragraph of Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes; and (B) the number 35 in the second sentence of Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be replaced with the number 30.

3.03. Selection and Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, (i) the first sentence of Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes; (ii) if less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, then the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed by lot, pro rata or another method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate; (iii) Notes selected to be redeemed will be redeemed in principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, and no Notes of $2,000 or less in principal amount will be redeemed in part; and (iv) if a portion of any Note is selected for Redemption and a portion of such Note is converted, then the converted portion will be deemed to be taken from the portion selected for Redemption.

3.04. Transfers and Exchanges; Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, (i) the final paragraph of Section 2.08 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes; and (ii) the Company shall not be required to (A) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Notes during the period of fifteen (15) days before the mailing of the notice of Redemption; or (B) register the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for Redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Notes being redeemed in part. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the phrase “interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities or the portions of Securities called for redemption” in the first (1st) sentence of the second (2nd) paragraph of Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be replaced with the phrase “Securities or the portions of Securities called for redemption shall cease to be outstanding, interest shall cease to accrue thereon and all rights of the Holders thereof with respect thereto will terminate, other than the right to receive the Redemption Price in accordance with the Indenture”.

Article IV

REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS UPON FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE

4.01. Option of Holder to Tender Notes for Repurchase Upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, then each Holder of Notes not previously repurchased or redeemed by the Company shall have the right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”), at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes (or any portion thereof that is a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof), on a date selected by the Company (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”), which Fundamental Change Repurchase Date shall be no later than thirty five (35) calendar days, nor earlier than twenty (20) calendar days, after the date the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice is mailed in accordance with Section 4.02, at a price (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), payable in cash, equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Notes to be so repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; provided, however, that if the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to a Note is after a Regular Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, then accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date shall be paid, on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, to the Holder of such Note at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and the Holder surrendering such Note for repurchase shall not be entitled to any such interest unless such Holder was also the Holder of record of such Note at the close of business on such Regular Record Date; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company redeem any Notes at a time when the Company has failed to pay interest on the Notes and such failure to pay is continuing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the second sentence of the final paragraph of Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

(b) Subject to Section 4.01(c), to exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right with respect to a Note, the Holder thereof must:

(ii) undertake a book-entry transfer or delivery of such Note, together with necessary endorsements, to the offices of the Paying Agent, which Note so transferred or delivered shall conform in all respects to the description thereof set forth in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice;

provided, however, that if such Note is held in the form of a Global Security, then such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

The satisfaction of the requirements set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above with respect to a Note shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of such Note of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such Note.

provided, however, that if such Note is held in the form of a Global Security, then such notice of withdrawal must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary. The Paying Agent will promptly return to the Holder thereof any Note with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with this Section 4.01(c).

(d) Any repurchase of a Note of a Holder by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by such Holder.

(e) The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written withdrawal thereof.

4.03. Effect of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note, the Holder thereof shall (unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.01(c)) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Note. If the requirements set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 4.01(b) have been satisfied, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to the receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note and (y) the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of such Notes in accordance with clause (ii) of Section 4.01(b). Notes in respect of which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article XII on or after the date of the delivery of such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.01(c).

If the Paying Agent holds on the Business Day immediately following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date cash sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Notes that Holders have elected to require the Company to purchase, then, as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (x) such Notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue, whether or not book-entry transfer of such Notes has been made or such Notes have been delivered to the Paying Agent, as the case may be, and (y) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate, other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon delivery or transfer of such Notes.

4.04. Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or its Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be repurchased pursuant to this Article IV.

4.05. Notes Repurchased in Part. Any certificated Note which is to be repurchased pursuant to this Article IV 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 which is not so repurchased. Provisions of the Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Note also apply to the purchase of a portion of such Note.

4.06. Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any cash that remains unclaimed as provided in Section 8.06 of the Base Indenture (subject to the provisions of Section 7.01(f) of the Base Indenture) and that is held by them for the payment of the

Fundamental Change Repurchase Price; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to this Article IV exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to repurchase pursuant to this Article IV, then, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Company, promptly after the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company (subject to the provisions of Section 7.01(f) of the Base Indenture).

4.07. Covenant to Comply With Securities Laws Upon Purchase of Notes. In connection with any repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Article IV, the Company will, to the extent applicable, (i) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may be applicable at the time of the offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes pursuant to this Article IV; (ii) file a Schedule TO or any other schedule required in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes; and (iii) comply with all other federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes pursuant to this Article IV.

Article V

SUCCESSORS

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, Article 5 of the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be deemed to be replaced with this Article V.

5.01. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.

Article IX

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, Article 12 of the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be deemed to be replaced with this Article IX and the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be read mutatis mutandis.

9.01. Subsidiary Guarantees.

(a) The Notes shall be guaranteed by each of the Guarantors (each such guarantee, a “Subsidiary Guarantee”) in accordance with the provisions of this Article IX.

(b) Subject to this Article IX, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of the Notes or the obligations of the Company under the Indenture or the Notes: (i) that the principal of, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at the Maturity Date, the Redemption Date, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or other due date, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and that all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Maturity Date, the Redemption Date, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or other due date. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(c) Subject to this Article IX, the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of

the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions of the Indenture or of the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Indenture and the Notes.

(d) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors any amount paid by any of the foregoing to such Holder or the Trustee, then each Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(e) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of the Subsidiary Guarantees, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby; and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the Subsidiary Guarantees. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantees.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, references in the Indenture or the Notes to Section 12.02 of the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be read as references to this Section 9.01.

9.02. Subordination of Subsidiary Guarantees. The obligations of each Guarantor under the Indenture and the Notes shall be junior and subordinated to the Senior Debt of such Guarantor on the same basis as the Notes are junior and subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and Holders shall have the right to receive or retain payments by any of the Guarantors only at such times as they may receive or retain payments in respect of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture, including, without limitation, Article 11 of the Base Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, references in the Indenture or the Notes to Section 12.03 of the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be read as references to this Section 9.02.

9.03. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

(a) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(b) subject to Section 9.04 hereof, the Person acquiring the assets in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee.

Subject to Section 9.04, if there shall occur any such sale, disposition, consolidation or merger with respect to a Guarantor, then, upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by such Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for such Guarantor with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named in the Indenture as a Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantee so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture and the Notes as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as provided in Article V, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor to the Company or another Guarantor or prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor.

9.04. Releases. The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released, and any Person acquiring assets (including by way of merger or consolidation) or Capital Stock of a Guarantor shall not be required to assume the obligations of such Guarantor:

(a) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company;

(b) in connection with any sale of a majority of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company;

(c) if the Company designates such Guarantor to be an Excluded Subsidiary in accordance with the requirements hereof (including, without limitation, the definition of Excluded Subsidiary);

(d) if such Guarantor is otherwise no longer obligated to provide a Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant hereto;

(e) if such Guarantor’s guarantee of any obligations under the Credit Agreement, or, if the Credit Agreement is no longer outstanding, any other Indebtedness of the Company, is fully and unconditionally released, except that such Guarantor shall subsequently be required to become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and providing the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel at such time as it guarantees any obligations under the Credit Agreement, or, if the Credit Agreement is no longer outstanding, any other Indebtedness of the Company; or

(f) if the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes are discharged in accordance with the terms thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, references in the Indenture or the Notes to Section 12.05 of the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be read as references to this Section 9.04.

9.05. Fraudulent Conveyances. Each Guarantor, and, by its acceptance of any Note, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, references in the Indenture or the Notes to Section 12.04 of the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be read as references to this Section 9.05.

9.06. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. If, after the date hereof, a Person who was not theretofore a Guarantor becomes a Guarantor, then such Person shall, as promptly as possible after the end of the fiscal quarter in which such Person becomes a Guarantor, execute a supplemental indenture, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B, and deliver an opinion of counsel, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

by the Company; and (c) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with; provided, however, that Sections 2.02, 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 3.04, 4.01, 4.02 and 4.06, and Article 7, of the Base Indenture, and Section 12.02(j), Section 3.04, Article IV, Article X and Article XII hereof, shall, with respect to the Notes, survive any such discharge until such time as the Notes have been paid in full.

10.03. Application of Trust Money.

After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors, subject to applicable law, and all liability of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent with respect to such money and payment shall, subject to applicable law, cease.

10.05. Reinstatement. If the Trustee, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent is unable to apply any money or other consideration in accordance with Section 10.02 and Section 10.03 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under the Indenture with respect to the Notes, and the obligations of the Company under the Notes, shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.02 and Section 10.03; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of amounts due with respect to any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, then the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent.

(v) if the Company distributes, to all holders of Common Stock, cash or other assets, debt securities or rights to purchase the Company’s securities (other than pursuant to a rights plan), which distribution has a value per share of Common Stock exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the announcement date for such distribution, then the Notes may be converted at any time from and including the date the Company provides notice of such distribution pursuant to Section 12.01(c) until the earlier of (A) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution and (B) any announcement by the Company that such distribution will not take place;

(vi) if:

(A) the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets;

(B) such consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale or conveyance does not constitute a Fundamental Change; and

(C) pursuant to such consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale or conveyance, the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property,

then the Notes may be converted at any time during the period that begins fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the date announced by the Company as the anticipated effective date of such consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale or conveyance and that ends on, and includes, the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days after the date that is the actual effective date of such consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale or conveyance;

(vii) if a transaction described under clauses (1), (3) or (4) of the definition of Fundamental Change in Section 1.01 occurs, then the Notes may be converted at any time during the period that begins on the Business Day following the effective date of such Fundamental Change and that ends at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date relating to such Fundamental Change; and

(viii) the Notes may be converted during the five (5) consecutive Business Day period following any five (5) consecutive Trading Day period (such five (5) consecutive Trading Day period, the “Note Measurement Period”), if, on each Trading Day during such Note Measurement Period, the Trading Price of the Notes (expressed as an amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes) on such Trading Day, as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with Section 12.01(d), was less than ninety eight percent (98%) of the product of (A) the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock on such Trading Day and (B) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day (the condition set forth in this clause (viii) is herein referred to as the “Trading Price Condition”);

provided, however, that (x) in no event shall the Notes be convertible at or after the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (y) in no event shall the Notes that have been previously redeemed, repurchased or converted be thereafter converted; and (z) a Note in respect of which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted on or after the date of the delivery of such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.01(c), and, unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been so validly withdrawn or the Company defaults in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, the conversion right with respect to such Note will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

(c) At least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the Ex-Date of a distribution by the Company referred to in Section 12.01(b)(iv) or Section 12.01(b)(v), the Company will provide notice to Holders of such distribution. If a transaction described under clauses (1), (3) or (4) of the definition of Fundamental Change in Section 1.01 occurs, then the Company will notify Holders of the anticipated effective date of such Fundamental Change at least ten (10) calendar days prior to such date.

(d) The Company shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless a Holder requests in writing that the Company do so, but if a Holder provides such a written request to the Company, then the Company will determine the Trading Price of the Notes on the Trading Day immediately following the date the Company receives such written request and on each subsequent Trading Day until the Trading Price Condition is no longer satisfied.

12.02. Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion; Fractional Shares.

(a) To convert a Note, the Holder thereof must (i) complete, manually sign and deliver to the Conversion Agent the conversion notice on the back of such Note (or a facsimile of such conversion notice); (ii) surrender such Note (together with appropriate endorsements and transfer documents) to the Conversion Agent; and (iii) if applicable, deliver to the Conversion Agent any funds, taxes or duties required to be delivered pursuant to Section 12.02(f) or Section 12.02(h); provided, however, that if such Note is held in the form of a Global Security, then (x) in lieu of manually signing and delivering such conversion notice (or facsimile thereof), such Holder must deliver to Depositary the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary’s conversion program; and (y) such surrender of such Note pursuant to clause (ii) shall be made by book-entry transfer through the Depositary. Subject to Section 12.02(e), such Note will be deemed to have been converted as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date (such date, the “Conversion Date”) that all the conditions of the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied.

(b) If any Note is surrendered for partial conversion, then the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of such Note, without charge to such Holder (subject to Section 12.02(h)), a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of such surrendered Note.

(c) Subject to Section 12.04, upon conversion of a Note in accordance with this Article XII, the Company will deliver, on (subject to Section 12.03(c) and Section 12.03(e)) the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the last day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period applicable to such conversion, to the Holder of such Note, consideration, per $1,000 principal amount of such Note that is subject to such conversion, consisting of (i) cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Cash Settlement Amounts for each Trading Day in such Cash Settlement Averaging Period (the amount of cash deliverable upon such conversion pursuant to this clause (i), subject to the provisos to this sentence, the

“Aggregate Cash Settlement Amount”); and (ii) a number of shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to the sum of the Daily Net Shares for each Trading Day in such Cash Settlement Averaging Period (the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such conversion pursuant to this clause (ii), subject to the provisos to this sentence, the “Aggregate Net Shares”); provided, however, that the Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock and will instead deliver cash (in addition to any other consideration payable upon such conversion) in an amount equal to the value of such fraction computed on the basis of the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the last Trading Day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period; provided, further, that if, and only if, delivery of the Aggregate Net Shares upon settlement of such conversion would not be permissible under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange without the Company first having obtained stockholder approval in accordance with such listing standards, and the Company has not theretofore obtained such stockholder approval, then, with respect to such conversion, the Company may, on any one or more Trading Days during such Cash Settlement Averaging Period, reduce the number of Daily Net Shares applicable to such Trading Day(s) to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary so that the number of Aggregate Net Shares required to be delivered upon settlement of such conversion pursuant to this Section 12.02(c) does not exceed the maximum amount permitted to be delivered pursuant to such listing standards, provided that, for each one (1) share (or fraction thereof) of Common Stock the Company deducts from the Daily Net Shares of a Trading Day pursuant to this proviso, the Company shall increase the Daily Cash Settlement Amount for such Trading Day by an amount equal to the Daily VWAP on such Trading Day (or, in the case a fraction of a share was so deducted, an amount equal to the product of such fraction and the Daily VWAP on such Trading Day). In addition, in the event that a Note is converted in connection with a Redemption pursuant to Section 3.01(a) hereof, the Company will deliver to the Holder of such Note, together with any consideration delivered in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, cash in an amount equal to the Coupon Make-Whole Payment. A conversion shall be deemed to be “in connection with” a Redemption pursuant to Section 3.01(a) hereof if the Notes are converted at any time on or after the date the related notice of Redemption is mailed pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture and Section 3.02 hereof until the close of business on the Business Day prior to the applicable Redemption Date.

(d) If a Holder converts more than one Note at the same time, then the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, if any, shall be based on the total principal amount of all such Notes converted at the same time by such Holder.

(e) At and after the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period applicable to a Note to be converted, the Person in whose name any certificate (or electronic entry or other notation) representing Aggregate Net Shares, if any, is to be registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record of such Aggregate Net Shares. On and after the Conversion Date of a Note to be converted, all rights of the Holder of such Note will terminate, other than the right to receive the consideration deliverable upon such conversion in accordance with the Indenture.

(f) If the Conversion Date of a Note to be converted occurs after a Regular Record Date but prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, then, notwithstanding such conversion and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the interest payable with respect to such Note on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of such Note at the close of business on such Regular Record Date; provided, however, that such Note, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by cash payment to the Conversion Agent on behalf of the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on such Note, except that no such payment shall be required if either (i) such Note was called for Redemption and the related Redemption Date is after such Regular Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date; (ii) the Company has designated a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 4.02(c) that is after such Regular Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date; or (iii) such Conversion

Date occurs after the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; provided, further, that in no event shall such Holder be required to pay any overdue interest pursuant to this Section 12.02(f). Except as provided in this Section 12.02(f), upon conversion of a Note, the Holder of such Note will not be entitled to receive any separate cash payment of accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, and unpaid interest that has accrued to the Conversion Date of such Note shall be deemed to be paid in full with the Conversion Consideration delivered upon such conversion rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

(g) From and after the Conversion Date of a Note, (i) such Note shall cease to be outstanding and, except as provided in Section 12.02(f), interest will cease to accrue on such Note; and (ii) all rights of the Holders of such Notes with respect thereto will terminate, other than the right to receive the Conversion Consideration therefor in accordance with the Indenture, in each case unless the Company defaults in delivering such Conversion Consideration in accordance with the Indenture.

(h) The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue, if any, of shares of Common Stock upon any conversion of any Note; provided, however, that the Holder of such Note shall pay any such tax or duty which is due because such shares are issued in a name other than such Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver a certificate representing the shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duty which will be due because such shares are to be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.

(i) If the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to this Article XII, then the Company will (i) issue a press release through Business Wire setting forth the new Conversion Rate and its effective date and make such information available on its website or through another public medium as the Company may use at that time; and (ii) provide the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the new Conversion Rate and its effective date.

(j) The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”). The Company may appoint or change one or more co-Conversion Agents without notice and may act in any such capacity on its own behalf. The term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional co-Conversion Agent. The Company hereby elects the Trustee as the initial Conversion Agent.

12.03. Adjustments to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(a) 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:




where,

CR₁ =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Date or effective date, as applicable;

OS₀ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Date or effective date, as applicable; and

OS₁ =

the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

(b) Subject to Section 12.03(i), if the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period of sixty (60) calendar days following the record date for such distribution, shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the average Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula;

where,

CR₁ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Date;

OS₀ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Date;

X =

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

Y =

the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Date.

For the purposes of this Section 12.03(b), in determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable upon exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, as shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(c) Subject to Section 12.03(i), if the Company distribute 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 12.03(a) or Section 12.03(b);

(ii) 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;

(iii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and

(iv) spin-offs described below in the third paragraph of this Section 12.03(c),

then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

CR₁ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Date;

SP₀ =

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Date; and

FMV =

the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the open of business on such Ex-Date.

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 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 the date on which such Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, 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, 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 on such Ex-Date would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.03(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock in shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary, or other business unit, of the Company, which shares

or equity interest is listed on a national or regional securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR₁ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such Spin-Off;

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Date;

FMV₀ =

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one (1) share of Common Stock over the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the third (3rd) Trading Day after such Ex-Date (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and

MP₀ =

the average of the Last Reported Sale 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 prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for the applicable Spin-Off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, if the final Trading Day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period applicable to the conversion of any Note occurs on or after the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off and on or before the last Trading Day of the applicable Valuation Period, then the Company shall deliver the Conversion Consideration for such conversion on the third (3rd) Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of such Valuation Period.

(d) If the Company pays any cash dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (other than dividends or distributions made in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or upon a Conversion Right Adjustment Event), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR₁ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Date;

SP₀ =

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Date;

DTA =

the Dividend Threshold Amount; and

C =

the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock pursuant to such dividend or distribution;

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 a person who was a holder of record, on the record date for such dividend or distribution, of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such Ex-Date would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such dividend or distribution.

(e) 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 (as determined by the Board of Directors) of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer exceeds the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock 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:

where,

CR₁ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date;

CR₀ =

the conversion rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on 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 Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) 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 immediately after the close of business on the Expiration Date (excluding shares validly tendered and accepted for payment 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 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 immediately prior to the open of business on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, (i) if the final Trading Day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period applicable to the conversion of any Note occurs on or after the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date and on or before the last Trading Day of the applicable Averaging Period, then the Company shall deliver the Conversion Consideration for such conversion on the third (3rd) Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of such Averaging Period; (ii) 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; and (iii) in no event shall an adjustment be made pursuant to this Section 12.03(e) if such adjustment would result in a reduction to the Conversion Rate.

(f) If a Non-Stock Change of Control occurs and the Conversion Agent receives a conversion notice to convert a Note (whether physically or, if such Note is held in the form of a Global Security, through the Depositary’s conversion program) during the period (the “Non-Stock Change of Control Period”) after the effective date of such Non-Stock Change of Control and before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Non-Stock Change of Control (in such case, such Note will be deemed to have been converted “in connection with” such Non-Stock Change of Control), then the Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion shall be increased to an amount equal to the Conversion Rate that would, but for this Section 12.03(f), otherwise apply to such Note pursuant to this Article XII, plus an amount equal to the Non-Stock Change of Control Applicable Increase.

As used herein, “Non-Stock Change of Control Applicable Increase” means, with respect to a Non-Stock Change of Control, the amount, set forth in the following table, which corresponds to the effective date of such Non-Stock Change of Control (the “Effective Date”) and the Stock Price of such Non-Stock Change of Control:


Effective Date	Stock Price
Effective Date	$35.50		$39.50		$43.50		$47.50		$51.50		$55.50		$59.50		$63.50		$67.50		$71.50		$75.50		$79.50		$83.50
4/3/2012		4.0726		2.9264		2.4829		2.1162		1.8298		1.5919		1.4213		1.2280		1.0977		1.0029		0.8745		0.8080		0.7419

4/1/2016		4.0726		1.2201		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000

provided, however, that:

(i) if the Stock Price of such Non-Stock Change of Control is between two (2) dollar amounts set forth in the table above in the row immediately below the title “Stock Price” or the Effective Date of such Non-Stock Change of Control is between two (2) dates set forth in the table above in the column titled “Effective Date,” then the Non-Stock Change of Control Applicable Increase will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the Non-Stock Change of Control Applicable Increases set forth for the higher and lower dollar amounts and such two dates, as applicable, based on a 360-day year;

(ii) if the Stock Price of such Non-Stock Change of Control is greater than eighty three dollars and fifty cents ($83.50) (as such dollar amount may be adjusted pursuant to clause

(iii) below), or if the Stock Price of such Non-Stock Change of Control is less than thirty five dollars and fifty cents ($35.50) (as such dollar amount may be adjusted pursuant to clause (iii) below), then the Non-Stock Change of Control Applicable Increase is equal to zero (0);

(iii) if an event occurs that requires, pursuant to this Article XII (other than solely pursuant to this Section 12.03(f)), an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, then, on the date and at the time such adjustment is so required to be made, (A) each dollar amount set forth in the table above in the row immediately below the title “Stock Price” shall be deemed to be adjusted so that such dollar amount, at and after such time, shall be equal to the product of (1) such dollar amount as in effect immediately before such adjustment to such dollar amount and (2) a fraction whose numerator is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and whose denominator is the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance with this Article XII, immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate; and (B) each Non-Stock Change of Control Applicable Increase amount set forth in the table above shall be deemed to be adjusted so that such Non-Stock Change of Control Applicable Increase, at and after such time, shall be equal to the product of (1) such Non-Stock Change of Control Applicable Increase as in effect immediately before such adjustment to such Non-Stock Change of Control Applicable Increase and (2) a fraction whose numerator is the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance with this Article XII, immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and whose denominator is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Conversion Rate; and

(iv) in no event shall the Conversion Rate applicable to any Note be increased pursuant to this Section 12.03(f) to the extent, but only to the extent, such increase shall cause the number of shares of Common Stock to be issuable upon conversion of such Note to exceed 29.46376 shares per $1,000 principal amount of such Note (such amount to be adjusted in the same manner in which, and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is to be adjusted pursuant to this Article XII, other than solely pursuant to this Section 12.03(f)).

As used herein, “Stock Price” has the following meaning with respect to a Non-Stock Change of Control: (i) if holders of Common Stock receive only cash in such Non-Stock Change of Control, then the Stock Price will be the cash amount paid per share in such Non-Stock Change of Control; and (ii) in all other cases, the Stock Price will be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock during the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the Effective Date of such Non-Stock Change Of Control.

The Company shall notify Holders and the Trustee of the anticipated effective date of any Fundamental Change at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to such date.

(g) The Company may, in its sole discretion, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law and any applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least twenty (20) calendar days or such longer period as may be required by law, in which case (i) such Conversion Rate increase will be irrevocable during such period; and (ii) the Company will give notice to the Trustee and cause notice of such increase to be mailed to each Holder of Notes at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which such increase commences. In addition, the Company may, in its sole discretion, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law and any applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, increase the Conversion Rate as the Board of Directors deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes:

(i) if any dividend or distribution is declared but not paid, then no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made on account of such dividend, distribution or declaration;

(ii) if:

(A) any rights, options or warrants are issued by the Company;

(B) the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to this Article XII in connection with such issuance (or the declaration of the dividend or distribution of such issuance); and

then the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had such adjustment made in connection with such issuance (or the declaration of the dividend or distribution of such issuance) been made on the basis of the delivery of only the consideration actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants that were actually exercised prior to their expiration or termination;

(iii) no adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made pursuant to this Section 12.03 for any transaction if Holders participate, as a result of holding Notes, in such transaction without having to convert such Notes, as if each Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of the principal amount of Notes held by such Holder (expressed in thousands) and the Conversion Rate then in effect;

(iv) if any rights, options or warrants issued by the Company and requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate in accordance with this Section 12.03 are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted as provided in this Section 12.03 until the earliest of such triggering events occurs;

(v) the Company will not be required to give effect to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require a change of at least one percent (1%) in the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that each such adjustment that is not given effect shall (A) be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Adjustment; and (B) unless such adjustment has therefore already been given effect, be given effect (I) five (5) Business Days prior to the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Notes (whether at the Maturity Date or otherwise); and (2) prior to each Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

(vi) the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted for the following:

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

(B) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(C) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (B) and outstanding as of the Issue Date;

(D) any change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(E) accrued and unpaid interest.

(i) Upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall make provision for the Holder of such Note, to the extent such Holder is to receive any shares of Common Stock upon such conversion, to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable hereunder upon such conversion, the rights described in each shareholders’ rights plan of the Company, if any, in effect at the time such Conversion Consideration is delivered in accordance herewith, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at such time, in which case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted upon such separation in accordance with Section 12.03(c) (subject to the other provisions of this Article XII, including, without limitation, Section 12.03(h)(ii)). So long as the Company complies with this Section 12.03(i), no adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.03(b) or Section 12.03(c) shall be made upon the issuance of any rights pursuant to any such shareholders’ rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock.

(j) Except as specifically provided in this Article XII, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted for the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing. Except as specifically provided in the Indenture or the Notes, the Company is not required to make any payment or other adjustment for dividends on any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes.

(k) All calculations under this Article XII shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten-thousandth (1/10,000) of a share, as the case may be.

12.04. Effect of Certain Reclassifications, Business Combinations, Asset Sales and Corporate Events. If the Company (whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions):

(a) reclassifies or changes the outstanding Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value); or

(b) is party to a consolidation, merger or similar transaction or sells, leases, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and those of the Company’s Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person,

and, in each case, as a result of such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, transaction, sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or disposition, the holders of Common Stock receive stock, other securities or other property or assets (including, without limitation cash), or any combination thereof, with respect to or in exchange for their Common Stock (such a reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, transaction, sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or disposition, a “Conversion Right Adjustment Event”), then the Company or the successor or purchasing Person in such Conversion Right Adjustment Event, as

the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such Conversion Right Adjustment Event (and, in the event such successor or purchasing Person is not the Company, the Company shall cause such successor or purchasing Person to) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee providing that, at and after the effective time of such Conversion Right Adjustment Event, the Holder of each Note then outstanding shall have the right to convert such Note (if otherwise convertible pursuant to this Article XII, including, without limitation, Section 12.01(b)) into the kind and amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including, without limitation cash), or any combination thereof (collectively, “Reference Property”), receivable upon such Conversion Right Adjustment Event by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction whose denominator is one thousand dollars ($1,000) and whose numerator is the product of the principal amount of such Note and the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such Conversion Right Adjustment Event (assuming, if holders of Common Stock shall have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to receive pursuant to such Conversion Right Adjustment Event, that such Holder shall have made the Collective Election with respect to such election); provided, however, that at and after the effective time of such Conversion Right Adjustment Event, the Aggregate Cash Settlement Amount payable hereunder upon conversion of such Note shall continue to be payable in cash and the Daily Conversion Value and Daily Net Shares shall be calculated based on the volume-weighted average price (or, if such price is not available, the fair value) of the Reference Property instead of the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock; provided further, that if the Reference Property consists solely of cash and such effective time shall occur on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after the last Trading Day in the Cash Settlement Averaging Period applicable to the conversion of a Note, then the Conversion Consideration shall be paid by the Company no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the later of the Conversion Date for such conversion and such effective date. The supplemental indenture referred to in the first sentence of this Section 12.04 shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Rate which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Rate provided for in this Article XII. For avoidance of doubt, if a Conversion Right Adjustment Event also constitutes a Non-Stock Change of Control, then each conversion of a Note for which the Conversion Agent receives the related conversion notice (whether physically or, if such Note is held in the form of a Global Security, through the Depositary’s conversion program) during the applicable Non-Stock Change of Control Period shall be entitled to an increased Conversion Rate pursuant to, and subject to the conditions of, Section 12.03(f). If such successor or purchasing Person is not the Company, then such supplemental indenture shall provide for the assumption, by such successor or purchasing Person, of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes. If, in the case of any such Conversion Right Adjustment Event, the stock, other securities or other property or assets (including, without limitation cash), or any combination thereof, receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and property of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Conversion Right Adjustment 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 in good faith shall reasonably determine necessary by reason of the foregoing. The provisions of this Section 12.04 shall similarly apply to successive Conversion Right Adjustment Events. The Company shall not enter into any Conversion Right Adjustment Event unless the terms of such Conversion Right Adjustment Event are consistent with this Section 12.04.

If the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 12.04, then the Company will promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind and amount of Reference Property receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any such Conversion Right Adjustment Event and any adjustment to be made with respect thereto.

12.05. Proportional Adjustments to Account for Certain Events. Whenever any provision of the Indenture requires the Company to calculate Last Reported Sale Prices, Closing Sale Prices or Daily VWAPs over a span of multiple days, the Company shall make appropriate adjustments to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period from which such prices are to be calculated.

12.06. Company to Reserve Stock; Status of Common Stock Issued upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in its treasury enough shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion, in accordance herewith, of all of the Notes. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Notes shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free of preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim created by the Company.

12.07. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Article XII should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.02(i). The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Notes, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the failure by the Company to comply with any provisions of this Article XII.

The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 12.04, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.04.

Article XIII

TAX TREATMENT

13.01. Tax Treatment. The Company agrees, and by purchasing a beneficial ownership interest in the Notes each Holder, and any individual or entity 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.

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 eleven hundredeths of one percent (7.11%), 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 Vice President, Tax) at the address set forth in Section 14.02 of the Base Indenture.

Article XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

14.01. Calculations in Respect of the Notes. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, the Company will be responsible for making all calculations, including, but not limited to, any Coupon Make-Whole Payments, with respect to the Notes called for under the Indenture and the Notes. The Company or its agents will make all such calculations in good faith, and, absent manifest error, such calculations will be final and binding on Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of such calculations to each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, as appropriate, and each of the Trustee and Conversion Agent is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of such calculations without independent verification. The Trustee will forward such calculations to any Holder upon the request of such Holder.

14.02. Scope of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture.

14.03. Ratification of the Base Indenture. The Base Indenture, as supplemented by this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and this Eighth Supplemental Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes, be deemed part of the Base Indenture in the manner and to the extent herein and therein provided.

14.04. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals. The recitals therein contained are made by the Company and not by the Trustee, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of the Base Indenture or this Eighth Supplemental Indenture.

14.05. Separability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in the Indenture or the Notes shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of the Indenture or the Notes, but the Indenture and the Notes shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained in the Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be.

14.06. Counterparts. This Eighth Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

14.07. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of the Indenture or the Notes.

14.08. Governing Law. THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS EIGHTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND THE NOTES, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

3.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2042

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture (as defined below) unless otherwise indicated.

Interest.

Omnicare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay interest on this Note, semi-annually in arrears at a rate per annum equal to three and three quarters percent (3.75%), on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), with the first payment to be made on October 1, 2012, to holders of record at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15, respectively (each such date, the “Regular Record Date,” and the Interest Payment Date immediately following each Regular Record Date shall be deemed to be the Interest Payment Date that “corresponds” to such Regular Record Date), in each case except as provided in Sections 3.01, 2.06(a), and 4.01(a) of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture (as defined below). Interest on the Notes will accrue on the principal amount from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from, and including, April 3, 2012, in each case to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. On the Maturity Date, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest on each Note to the Person to whom the Company pays the principal amount of such Note, instead of to the Holder on the preceding Regular Record Date.

In addition to the foregoing, beginning with the six (6) month period beginning on, and including, April 1, 2020, (i) if the Contingent Interest Trading Price of the Notes for each Trading Day of the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Contingent Interest Measurement Period”) ending on, and including, the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of any six (6) month period (each such period, a “Contingent Interest Period”) from, and including, an Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date, 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 2.06(c) of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture and (ii) if the Contingent Interest Trading Price of the Notes for each Trading Day of the Contingent Interest Measurement Period ending on, and including, the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of any Contingent Interest Period is less than or equal to the Downside Trigger, then the Company shall pay Contingent Interest to the Holders of this Note in accordance with Section 2.06(c) of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture.

The amount of Contingent Interest payable per $1,000 principal amount of Notes in respect of any Contingent Interest Period, if applicable, shall (i) in the event that Contingent Interest is payable as a result of the Upside Trigger, 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 (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of such Contingent Interest Period and (ii) in the event that Contingent Interest is payable as a result of the Downside Trigger, be equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the principal amount of such Notes. Contingent Interest shall accrue from the first day of the applicable Contingent Interest Period through, 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 doubt, regular cash interest shall continue to accrue at the per annum rate of three and three quarters percent (3.75%) 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.

A-4

As used herein, the term “interest” includes Contingent Interest, if any, but without duplication.

Method of Payment.

Except as provided in the immediately following paragraph, principal and interest on this Note will be paid (i) if this Note is held in the form of Global Security, to the Depositary or its nominee in immediately available funds; (ii) if this Note is a definitive Note that is not held in the form of a Global Security and that has an aggregate principal amount of five million dollars ($5,000,000) or less, by check mailed to the Holder of this Note; and (iii) if this Note is a definitive Note that is not held in the form of a Global Security and that has an aggregate principal amount of more than five million dollars ($5,000,000), by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the election of the Holder of this Note, which election is duly delivered to the Trustee at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the relevant Interest Payment Date or other payment date, as applicable.

At the Maturity Date, the Company will pay the principal and interest (i) if this Notes is held in the form of a Global Security, to the Depositary or its nominee in immediately available funds; and (ii) if this Note is a definitive Note that is not held in the form of a Global Security, at the Company’s office or agency in New York City, which initially will be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in New York City.

Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent.

Initially, the Trustee under the Indenture will act as Paying agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

Indenture.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company issued and issuable in one or more series under an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of June 13, 2003, between Omnicare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor trustee to SunTrust Bank), as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee), as supplemented by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture (the “Eighth Supplemental Indenture,” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), dated as of April 3, 2012, among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, duties and limitations of rights and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustees and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. All Notes issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those sections of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb), expressly incorporated in the Eighth Supplemental Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling to the extent of such conflict.

Optional Redemption.

Subject to, and except as provided in, Article III of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture and Article 3 of the Base Indenture, the Company shall have the right, at the Company’s option, at any time, on a Redemption Date on or before April 1, 2016, to redeem (a “Redemption”) all or, from time to time, any part of this Note at a Redemption Price payable in cash equal to the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed, plus the Coupon Make-Whole Payment as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, such Redemption Date if the Daily VWAP is at least one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the then current Conversion Price for each of at least twenty (20) Trading Days in the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day prior to the mailing of the notice of Redemption pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture and Section 3.02 of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and anything to the contrary in the Indenture or this Note, (i) if the Redemption Date with respect to this Note is after a Regular Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, then accrued and unpaid interest on this Note to, but excluding, such Redemption Date shall be paid, on such Redemption Date, to the Holder of this Note at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and the Holder surrendering this Note for Redemption shall not be entitled to any such interest unless such Holder was also the Holder of record of this Note at the close of business on such Regular Record Date and (ii) in no event shall the Company redeem any Notes at a time when the Company has failed to pay interest on the Notes and such failure to pay is continuing.

Repurchase of Notes at the Option of Holders Upon Fundamental Change.

Subject to, and except as provided in, Article IV of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, if a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, then the Holder of this Note, if not previously repurchased or redeemed by the Company, shall have the right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”), at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of this Note (or any portion thereof that is a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof), on a date selected by the Company (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”), which Fundamental Change Repurchase Date shall be no later than thirty five (35) calendar days, nor earlier than twenty (20) calendar days, after the date the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice is mailed in accordance with Section 4.02 of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, at a price (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), payable in cash, equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of this Note to be so repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; provided, however, that if the Fundamental Change Repurchase

A-6

Date with respect to this Note is after a Regular Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, then accrued and unpaid interest on this Note to, but excluding, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date shall be paid, on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, to the Holder of this Note at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and the Holder surrendering this Note for repurchase shall not be entitled to any such interest unless such Holder was also the Holder of record of this Note at the close of business on such Regular Record Date; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company redeem any Notes at a time when the Company has failed to pay interest on the Notes and such failure to pay is continuing.
