provided , however , that if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is after a Regular Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, then the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Securities at the close of business on such Regular Record Date (without any surrender of such Securities by such Holder), and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to the principal amount of Securities subject to such Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change.

     If such Securities are held in book-entry form through the Depository for the Securities, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice shall comply with applicable procedures of such Depository.

     Upon such delivery of Securities to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent) or such Paying Agent, such Holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, a nontransferable receipt of deposit evidencing such delivery.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder that has delivered the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.02(A) to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent) or to a Paying Agent designated by the Company for such

purpose in the Fundamental Change Notice shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice by delivery, at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, of a written notice of withdrawal to the Company (if acting as its own Paying Agent) or the Paying Agent, which notice shall contain the information specified in Section 3.02(B)(xi) .

     (x) that, except as otherwise provided herein, on and after such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of the consideration payable as herein provided upon Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change), interest on Securities subject to Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change will cease to accrue, and all rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate, other than the right to receive, in accordance herewith, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

     (xi) that a Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election in the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice if the Company (if acting as its own Paying Agent), or the Paying Agent receives, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, a letter or telegram, telex or facsimile transmission (receipt of which is confirmed and promptly followed by a letter) setting forth (I) the name of such Holder, (II) a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have Securities purchased by the Company on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, (III) the certificate number(s) of such Securities to be so withdrawn, if such Securities are in the form of Physical Securities, (IV) the principal amount of the Securities of such Holder to be so withdrawn, which amount must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof and (V) the principal amount, if any, of the Securities of such Holder that remain subject to the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice delivered by such Holder in accordance with this Section 3.02 , which amount must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof;

     (xiv) the CUSIP number or numbers, as the case may be, of the Securities.

     No failure of the Company to give a Fundamental Change Notice shall limit any Holder’s right to exercise a Fundamental Change Repurchase Right.

     (C) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.02 , the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to each Security as to which the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right shall have been exercised to the Holder thereof as

promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time such Security is surrendered to the Paying Agent.

The Paying Agent shall return to the Company, as soon as practicable, any money not required for that purpose.

     (E) Once the Fundamental Change Notice and the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice have been duly given in accordance with this Section 3.02 , the Securities to be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change shall, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, become due and payable in accordance herewith, and, on and after such date (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of such Securities), except as otherwise herein provided, such Securities shall cease to bear interest, and all rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate, other than the right to receive, in accordance herewith, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of such Securities.

     (F) Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been duly delivered in accordance with this Section 3.02 may be converted pursuant to Article XI , if otherwise convertible in accordance with Article XI , only if such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with this Section 3.02 or if there shall be a Default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of such Securities.

     (G) If any Security shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Security shall, until paid, bear interest, payable in cash, at the rate borne by such Security on the principal amount of such Security, and such Security shall continue to be convertible pursuant to Article XI .

     (H) Any Security which is to be submitted for Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change only in part shall be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.02 (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 its attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate (upon receipt of a Company Order) and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, of the same tenor and in aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such Security not duly submitted for Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change.

     (I) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to this Section 3.02 if the principal amount of the Securities has been accelerated pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture (except in the case of an Event of

Default resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Securities) and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded on or before the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities tendered to it for Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change during the continuance of such an acceleration.

     (J) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Repurchase Upon a Fundamental Change is determined to constitute a tender offer, the Company shall comply with all applicable tender offer rules under the Exchange Act, including Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E thereunder, and with all other applicable laws, and will file a Schedule TO or any other schedules required under the Exchange Act or any other applicable laws.

     (ii) A “ Termination of Trading ” shall occur if the Common Stock of the Company (or other securities into which the Securities are then convertible) is no longer listed for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange.
