Date, which is otherwise paid pursuant to clause (ii) of the
definition of Redemption Price), computed using a discount rate

The Company shall,
on or before each due date of the principal of or interest

to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Documents filed by

contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its
covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying
all or any portion of the principal of or interest (including
Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes as contemplated herein,
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which
may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture, and
the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that
it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no
such law had been enacted.

such defaults and the nature and the status thereof of which the
signer may have knowledge.

ARTICLE 5
Conversion of
Notes
Section 5.01
. Right to Convert . Subject to and upon compliance with the
procedures for conversion set forth in this Article 5, a
Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to
convert the principal amount of any such Notes, or any portion of
such principal amount which is $1,000 or a multiple thereof, into
Common Stock at an initial conversion rate (the “
Conversion Rate ”) equivalent to 25.2207 shares of
Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to
adjustment as set forth in Section 5.05, (x) on or after
May 15, 2016, without regard to the conditions described in
clauses (a) through (e) below , until the Close of
Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity
Date and (y) prior to May 15, 2016, only upon the
satisfaction of any of the conditions described in clauses
(a) through (e) below; provided that, in the case
of any conversion pursuant to this Article 5, the Holder must
deliver a Conversion Notice (as defined below) no later than the
Close of Business on the third Business Day immediately preceding
the Maturity Date. The cash payable, and the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable, if any, upon conversion of a Note shall be
determined as set forth in Section 5.03.
(a)
Conversion Based on Common Stock Price. A Holder may
surrender all or a portion of its Notes for conversion during any
calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2009, and only
during such calendar quarter, if the Last Reported Sale Price for
the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days during the period of
30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the
immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than 130% of the
Conversion Price in effect on such last Trading Day. Whenever the
Notes shall become convertible pursuant to this Section 5.01(a),
the Company shall notify all Holders, the Trustee and the
Conversion Agent promptly in writing.
(b)
Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Trading Price Condition . A
Holder may surrender all or a portion of its Notes for conversion
during the five Business Day period after any ten consecutive
Trading Day period (the “ Measurement Period ”)
in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as
determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the
procedures set
21
forth in this
Section 5.01(b), for each day in the Measurement Period was
less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the
Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate. In connection with
any conversion upon satisfaction of this Section 5.01(b), the
Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the
Trading Price of the Notes unless requested by the Company; and the
Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a
Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the
Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less
than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the
Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate. Promptly after
receiving such evidence, the Company shall instruct the Bid
Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price of the Notes
beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading
Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is
greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported
Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate.
Whenever the Notes shall become convertible pursuant to this
Section 5.01(b), the Company shall notify all Holders, the
Trustee and the Conversion Agent promptly in writing.
(c)
Conversion Upon Specified Distributions to Holders of Common
Stock or Specified Corporate Transactions. If the Company
elects to:
(i) distribute to
all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights
entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within sixty
(60) calendar days after the date of the distribution, shares
of the Common Stock at a price per share less than the average Last
Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten
(10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution;
or
(ii) distribute to
all or substantially all holders of Common Stock the
Company’s assets, its debt securities or certain rights to
purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per
share value as determined by the Board of Directors exceeding 15%
of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading
Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such
distribution,
then, in either
case, the Company shall notify all Holders, the Trustee and the
Conversion Agent in writing at least thirty (30) Scheduled
Trading Days prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution. Once the
Company has given such notice, a Holder may surrender its Notes for
conversion at any time until the earlier of the Close of Business
on the Business Day immediately prior to such Ex- Date for such
distribution or the Company’s announcement that such
distribution will not take place. A Holder may not convert any of
its Notes pursuant to this Section 5.01(c) if such Holder will
otherwise participate in the distribution without conversion as a
result of holding the Notes on a basis equivalent to a holder of a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of
such Notes, divided by the applicable Conversion
Price.
22
(d)
Conversion Upon a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental
Change .
(i) In the event
of a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, a
Holder may surrender its Notes for conversion at any time beginning
on the Business Day following the effective date of such
Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change until (a) the
Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date corresponding to such
Fundamental Change or (b) the Close of Business on the
thirty-fifth (35th) Business Day after the effective date of the
Make-Whole Fundamental Change in the case of a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change that is not a Fundamental Change. The Company
shall notify all Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent in
writing of the anticipated occurrence of such a Fundamental Change
or Make-Whole Fundamental Change no later than five
(5) Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of
such Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental
Change.
(ii) If the
Company is a party to a combination, merger, recapitalization,
reclassification, binding share exchange or other similar
transaction or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of
the Company’s property and assets, in each case pursuant to
which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities
and/or other property, that does not also constitute a Fundamental
Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, Holders will have the
right to convert their Notes at any time beginning on the earlier
of (i) the date upon which the Company notifies Holders, the
Trustee and the Conversion Agent in writing of such transaction and
(ii) the effective date of such transaction, and ending on the
35th Business Day immediately following the effective date of such
transaction.
(e)
Conversion Upon Redemption. If the Company calls any or all
of the Notes for redemption, Holders of the Notes will have the
right to convert their Notes called for redemption until the Close
of Business on the Business Day preceding the Redemption Date,
after which time Holders’ right to convert will expire unless
the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption
Price.
Section 5.02
. Conversion Procedures . The following procedures shall
apply to the conversion of Notes:
(a) In
respect of Certificated Notes, a Holder must (i) complete and

Conversion Notice; (ii) deliver such Conversion Notice, which
is irrevocable, and the Note to the Conversion Agent at the office
maintained by the Conversion Agent; (iii) furnish endorsements
and transfer documents as may be required by the Conversion Agent
and, if required pursuant to Section 5.08 below, pay all
transfer or similar taxes; and (iv) if required
23
pursuant to
Section 5.03(c), pay funds equal to interest payable on the
next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not
entitled.

respect of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, a Beneficial
owner must comply with Applicable Procedures for converting a
beneficial interest in a Global Note and, if required pursuant to
Section 5.03(c), pay funds equal to interest payable on the
next Interest Payment Date and all taxes or duties, if
any.
The date a Holder
satisfies the foregoing requirements is the “ Conversion
Date ” hereunder.
If a Holder
converts Notes, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or
similar issue or transfer tax due on the issuance of any shares of
Common Stock upon the conversion, unless the tax is due because the
Holder requests any shares to be issued in a name other than the
Holder’s name, in which case the Holder will pay that
tax.
No Conversion
Notice with respect to any Notes may be tendered by a Holder
thereof if such Holder has also tendered a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice in accordance with the applicable provisions of
Section 4.01.
Upon surrender of
a Note that is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and

deliver to the Holder, a new Note in an authorized denomination
equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Note
surrendered.
