No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Except as otherwise provided herein, on or prior to each due date of payments in respect of any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on the due date) or shares of Common Stock if permitted under this Indenture, sufficient to make such payments when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money and shares, if any, of Common Stock held by the Paying Agent for the making of payments in respect of the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. At any time during the continuance of any such default, the Paying Agent shall, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all money and shares, if any, of Common Stock so held in trust. If the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and shares, if any, of Common Stock held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money and shares, if any, of Common Stock held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds and Common Stock disbursed by it. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money or, if any, shares of Common Stock.

Section 2.6 Transfer and Exchange . (a) Subject to Section 2.12 hereof, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Securityholder or such Securityholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office or agency of the Company designated as Registrar or co-

 

10

registrar pursuant to Section 2.3, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. The Company shall not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Securities from the Securityholder requesting such transfer or exchange.

At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Securityholder or such Securityholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities, which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or any Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (except, in the case of Securities to be purchased in part, the portion thereof not to be purchased) or any Securities for a period of 15 days the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depositary, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.12 and this Section 2.6(b). Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole or in part, to the Depositary, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or such successor’s nominee.

(c) Successive registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the register for the Securities.

(d) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or exchange of Securities.

(e) No Registrar shall be required to make registrations of transfer or exchange of Securities during any periods designated in the text of the Securities or in this Indenture as periods during which such registration of transfers and exchanges need not be made.

Section 2.7 Replacement Securities . If (a) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in

 

11

the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the Company pursuant to Article III hereof, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay or purchase such Security, as the case may be.

Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section 2.7, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

Section 2.8 Outstanding Securities; Determinations of Holders’ Action Securities . Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those paid pursuant to Section 2.7, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security; provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Articles VI and IX).

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

 

12

If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date, or on the Business Day following a Purchase Date or a Fundamental Change Purchase Date, or on Stated Maturity, money or securities, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then immediately after such Redemption Date, Purchase Date, Fundamental Change Purchase Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest, if any, on such Securities shall cease to accrue; provided, that if such Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee has been made.

If a Security is converted in accordance with Article X, then from and after the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding and interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on such Security.

Section 2.9 Temporary Securities . Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3 without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

Section 2.10 Cancellation . All Securities surrendered for payment, purchase by the Company pursuant to Article III, conversion, redemption or registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article X. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedure.

Section 2.11 Persons Deemed Owners . Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name such Security is registered in the records of the Registrar as

 

13

A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other person may be registered; provided that this clause (i) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is issued in exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a Security to any person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Securities unless and until such Security has been registered in the name of such person. Nothing in this Section 2.12(a)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 2.12(a).

(ii) Restrictions on Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security for a Certificated Security . A beneficial interest in a Global Security may not be exchanged for a Certificated Security except upon the circumstances contemplated in Section 2.12(b)(1) below and additionally, upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security in accordance with Applicable Procedures for a Certificated Security in the form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with written instructions to the Trustee to make, or direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to reflect a decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such decrease, the Trustee shall cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security to be decreased by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Security to be issued, shall issue such Certificated Security and shall debit or cause to be debited to the account of the person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Security so issued.

(iii) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Securities . When Certificated Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request:

(A)     to register the transfer of such Certificated Securities; or

 

14

(B)     to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal principal amount of Certificated Securities of other authorized denominations,

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Certificated Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(iv) Restrictions on Transfer of a Certificated Security for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security . A Certificated Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below.

Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Certificated Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Security and cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of Securities represented by the Global Security to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Security to be exchanged, and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Security so cancelled. If no Global Securities are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new Global Security in the appropriate principal amount.

(b) The provisions of clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Securities:

 

(1)

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, a Global Security shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Security registered in the name of any person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees or any successor thereof, provided that a Global Security may be exchanged for Securities registered in the names 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, or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (i) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global Security exchanged pursuant

 

15

to clause (ii) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Depositary. Any Security issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global Security; provided that any such Security so issued that is registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security and shall be deemed a Certificated Security.

 

(2)

Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

 

(3)

Subject to the provisions of clause (5) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members (as defined below) and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

 

(4)

In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (1) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

 

(5)

Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such persons governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.

 

16

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers . The Company may issue the Securities with one or more “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION AND PURCHASES

Section 3.1 Company’s Right to Redeem; Notices to Trustee . The Company, at its option, may redeem the Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities. If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the Redemption Price. The Company shall give the notice to the Trustee provided for in Section 3.3 by a Company Order, at least 40 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

Section 3.2 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed . If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, unless the procedures of the Depositary provide otherwise, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate (so long as such method is not prohibited by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Securities are then listed). The Trustee shall make the selection at least 35 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal amount of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities and portions of Securities that the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of the Securities to be redeemed. If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities, which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed, may be treated by the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

Section 3.3 Notice of Redemption . At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed. The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

(1) the Redemption Date;

 

17

(2) the Redemption Price;

(3) the Conversion Rate;

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

(5) that Securities called for redemption may be converted at any time before the close of business on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date;

(6) that Holders who want to convert their Securities must satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 8 of the Securities;

(7) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date to collect the Redemption Price;

(8) if fewer than all of the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers, if any, and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

(9) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Redemption Price, interest, if any, on Securities called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; and

(10) the CUSIP number(s) of the Securities.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense, provided that the Company makes such request at least three Business Days prior to the date by which such notice of redemption must be given to Holders in accordance with this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption . Once notice of redemption is given, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price stated in the notice except for Securities which are converted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price . Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which on or prior thereto have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or have been converted. The Paying Agent shall as promptly as practicable return to the Company any money not required for that purpose because of conversion of Securities pursuant to Article X. If such money is then held by the Company in trust and is not required for such purpose it shall be discharged from such trust.

 

18

Section 3.6 Securities Redeemed in Part . Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Security in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

Section 3.7 Purchase of Securities by the Company at Option of the Holder . (a)  General . Securities shall be purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 6 of the Securities at the option of the Holder on December 15, 2011, December 15, 2016 and December 15, 2021 (each, a “Purchase Date”), at the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Purchase Date (the “Purchase Price”). Purchases of Securities hereunder shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

 

(1)

delivery to the Paying Agent by the Holder of a written notice of purchase (a “Purchase Notice”) during the period beginning at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to the relevant Purchase Date until the close of business on the last Business Day prior to such Purchase Date stating:

 

(A)

the certificate number of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased or the appropriate Depositary procedures if Certificated Securities have not been issued,

 

(B)

the portion of the principal amount of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and

 

(C)

that such Security shall be purchased by the Company as of the Purchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in Section 6 of the Securities and in this Indenture; and

 

(2)

delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent prior to, on or after the Purchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.7 only if the Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Purchase Notice, as determined by the Company.

The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.7, a portion of a Security, only if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security.

Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.7 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the time of delivery of the Security.

 

19

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.7(a) shall have the right to withdraw such Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.9.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(b) Purchase with Cash . The Purchase Price of Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 3.7(a) has been given, or a specified percentage thereof, shall be paid by the Company with U.S. legal tender (“cash”) equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of such Securities. The Company Notice, as provided in Section 3.7(c), shall be sent to Holders not less than 20 Business Days prior to such Purchase Date (the “Company Notice Date”).

(c) Company Notice . In connection with any purchase of Securities pursuant to Section 6 of the Securities, the Company shall give notice to Holders setting forth information specified in this Section 3.7(c) (the “Company Notice”).

Each Company Notice shall include a form of Purchase Notice to be completed by a Holder and shall state:

(i) the Purchase Price and the Conversion Rate;

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

(iii) that Securities as to which a Purchase Notice has been given may be converted if they are otherwise convertible only in accordance with Article X hereof and Section 8 of the Securities if the applicable Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(iv) that Securities must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment;

(v) that the Purchase Price for any security as to which a Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn will be paid promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the time of surrender of such Security as described in (iv);

(vi) the procedures the Holder must follow to exercise its put rights under this Section 3.7 and a brief description of those rights;

(vii) briefly, the conversion rights of the Securities;

(viii) the procedures for withdrawing a Purchase Notice (including, without limitation, for a conditional withdrawal pursuant to the terms of Section 3.7(a)(1)(D) or Section 3.9);

 

20

(ix) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment on Securities for which a Purchase Notice has been submitted, interest, if any, on such Securities will cease to accrue on the Purchase Date; and

(x) the CUSIP number of the Securities.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such Company Notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company and provided to the Trustee at least 3 Business Days in advance of the Company Notice Date.

(d) Procedure upon Purchase . The Company shall deposit cash at the time and in the manner as provided in Section 3.10, sufficient to pay the aggregate Purchase Price of all Securities to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.7. As soon as practicable after the later of the Purchase Date and the time of surrender of the Security, the Company shall deliver to each Holder entitled to receive shares, if any, of Common Stock through the Paying Agent, a certificate for the number of full shares, if any, of Common Stock issuable in payment of the Purchase Price and cash in lieu of any fractional interests. The person in whose name the certificate for the shares of Common Stock is registered shall be treated as a holder of record of Common Stock on the Business Day following the date of delivery of such certificate as described in the previous sentence. No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on the shares of Common Stock the record date for which occurred on or prior to the Purchase Date.

(e) Taxes . If a Holder of a purchased Security is paid in shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on such issue of Common Stock. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Paying Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Paying Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any income tax withholding required by law or regulations.

Section 3.8 Purchase of Securities at Option of the Holder upon a Fundamental Change . (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs, the Securities not previously purchased by the Company shall be purchased by the Company, at the option of the Holder thereof, at a purchase price specified in Section 6 of the Securities (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Price”), as of the date that is 45 days after the date of the notice of Fundamental Change delivered by the Company (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”), subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of the Holder of the requirements set forth in Section 3.8(c).

If there shall have occurred a Fundamental Change pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof set forth in this Section 3.8(a), that occurs on or prior to December 20, 2011 pursuant to which 10% or more of the consideration for the Common Stock (other than cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights) in such Fundamental Change transaction consists of cash or Securities (or other property) that are not traded or scheduled to be traded immediately following such transaction on a U.S. national

 

21

securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the Company will pay on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date a Make-Whole Premium to the Holders of the Securities in addition to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price. The Make-Whole Premium will also be paid on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date to the Holders of the Securities who convert their Securities on or after the date on which the Company has given a notice to all Holders of Securities in accordance with Section 3.8(b) hereof and on or before the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

The “Make-Whole Premium” will be determined by reference to the table below and is based on the date on which the Fundamental Change becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid per share of Common Stock in the transaction constituting the Fundamental Change. If the holders of Common Stock receive only cash in the transaction, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be equal to the average Closing Price per share of Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date.

The following table shows what the Make-Whole Premium would be for each hypothetical Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below, expressed as the number of additional shares to be issuable per $1,000 of the principal amount of the Securities.

Make-Whole Premium Upon a Fundamental Change (% of Face Value)

[INSERT TABLE]

The Make-Whole Premiums set forth above are based upon a Stock Price of $[•] at the time of the initial offer of the Securities on December [•], 2006 and an initial conversion price of $[•].

The actual Stock Price and Effective Date may not be set forth on the table, in which case:

(i) If the actual Stock Price on the Effective Date is between two Stock Prices on the table or the actual Effective Date is between two Effective Dates on the table, the Make-Whole Premium will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the Make-Whole Premiums set forth for the two Stock Prices and the two Effective Dates on the table based on a 365-day year, as applicable;

(ii) If the Stock Price on the Effective Date exceeds $120.00 per share (subject to adjustment described below), no Make-Whole Premium will be paid; and

(iii) If the Stock Price on the Effective Date is less than or equal to $[•] per share (subject to adjustment described below), no Make-Whole Premium will be paid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Conversion Rate exceed [•] per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities, subject to adjustments in the same manner as set forth in Article X.

 

22

The Stock Prices set forth in the first column of the table above will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate so adjusted.

The Company shall pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and/or Make-Whole Premium in cash or, in the case of the Make-Whole Premium, the same form of consideration used to pay for the shares of Common Stock in connection with the transaction constituting the Fundamental Change.

If the Company pays the Make-Whole Premium in the same form of consideration used to pay for the shares of Common Stock in connection with the transaction constituting the Fundamental Change, the value of the consideration to be delivered in respect of the Make-Whole Premium will be calculated as follows:

(i) securities that are traded on a United States national securities exchange or approved for quotation on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or any similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices will be valued based on the average Closing Price, over the ten Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;

(ii) other securities, assets or property (other than cash) will be valued based on 98% of the average of the fair market value of such securities, assets or property (other than cash) as determined by two independent nationally recognized investment banks selected by the trustee; and

(iii) 100% of any cash.

Whenever in this Indenture or Schedule A annexed hereto there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price in respect to such Security to the extent that such Fundamental Change Purchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, plus any applicable Make-Whole Premium, and express mention of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price in any provision of this Indenture shall not be construed as excluding the Fundamental Change Purchase Price in those provisions of this Indenture when such express mention is not made.

A “Fundamental Change” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time after the Securities are originally issued as any of the following events shall occur:

(i) any person acquires beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of transactions, of shares of the Company’s Capital Stock entitling the person to exercise 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of the Company’s Capital Stock that are entitled to vote generally in elections of directors, other than an acquisition by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its employee benefit plans; or

 

23

(ii) the Company merges or consolidates with or into any other person, any merger of another person into the Company, or the Company conveys, sells, transfers or leases all or substantially all of its assets to another person, other than any transaction:

 

(A)

that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, or

 

(B)

pursuant to which the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the transaction have the entitlement to exercise, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of Capital Stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the continuing or surviving corporation immediately after the transaction, or

 

(C)

which is effected solely to change the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common Stock solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity; or

(iii) any time the Company’s Continuing Directors do not constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if applicable, a successor corporation to the Company); or

(iv) a Termination of Trading.

A “Termination of Trading” will be deemed to have occurred if the Common Stock (or other common stock into which the Securities are then convertible) is neither listed for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange nor approved for trading on the NASDAQ Stock Global Select Market.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.8, a Fundamental Change shall not be deemed to have occurred if 90% or more of the consideration in a merger or consolidation otherwise constituting a Fundamental Change under clause (i) and/or clause (ii) above consists of shares of common stock traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on The NASDAQ Global Select Market (or will be so traded or quoted immediately following the merger or consolidation) and as a result of the merger or consolidation the Securities become convertible into such common stock. For purposes of this Section 3.8, (x) whether a person is a “beneficial owner” shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act and (y) “person” includes any syndicate or group that would be deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

(b) No later than 30 days after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail a written notice of the Fundamental Change by first-class mail to the Trustee and to each Holder. The notice shall include a form of written notice of purchase (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice”) to be completed by the Holder and shall state:

 

(1)

briefly, the events causing a Fundamental Change and the date of such Fundamental Change;

 

24

(2)

the date by which the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice pursuant to this Section 3.8 must be given;

 

(3)

the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;

 

(4)

the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;

 

(5)

the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

 

(6)

the Conversion Rate and any adjustments thereto;

 

(7)

that the Securities as to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given may be converted if they are otherwise convertible pursuant to Article X hereof only if the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

 

(8)

that the Securities must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment;

 

(9)

that the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for any Security as to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been duly given and not withdrawn will be paid promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date and the time of surrender of such Security as described in (8);

 

(10)

briefly, the procedures the Holder must follow to exercise rights under this Section 3.8;

 

(11)

briefly, the conversion rights, if any, of the Securities;

 

(12)

the procedures for withdrawing a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice;

 

(13)

that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Fundamental Change Purchase Price, interest, if any, on Securities surrendered for purchase by the Company will cease to accrue on and after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date; and

 

(14)

the CUSIP number(s) of the Securities.

(c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in Section 3.8(a) upon delivery of an Fundamental Change Purchase Notice to the Paying Agent at any time on or prior to the 30th day after the date the Company delivers its written Fundamental Change notice, stating:

 

(1)

the certificate number of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased;

 

(2)

the portion of the principal amount of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion, if not the entire amount of the Security, must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

 

25

(3)

that such Security shall be purchased pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in Section 6 of the Securities.

The delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent with the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.8 only if the Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof set forth in the related Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.

The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.8, a portion of a Security only if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security.

Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.8 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.

Section 3.9 Effect of Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice . Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Purchase Notice or the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice specified in Section 3.7(a) or Section 3.8(c), as applicable, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as the case may be, was given shall (unless such Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as the case may be, is withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Purchase Price or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be, with respect to such Security. Such Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipts of funds and/or securities by the Paying Agent, as soon as practicable following the later of (x) the Purchase Date or the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be, with respect to such Security (provided the conditions in Section 3.7(a) or Section 3.8(c), as applicable, have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.7(a) or Section 3.8(c), as applicable. Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article X hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice unless such Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs.

A Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent in accordance with the Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Purchase Date specifying:

 

(1)

the certificate number, if any, of the Security in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted,

 

26

(2)

the principal amount of the Security with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

 

(3)
