designates the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar, Securities
Custodian and Conversion Agent, and the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee to be such office or agency of the Company for each of
the aforesaid purposes.
Section 2.04. Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust .
Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on each due date of the principal of or interest on
any Securities, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent a sum
sufficient to pay such principal and interest so becoming
due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than
the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold
in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held
by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on
the Securities and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) in
making any such payment. If the Company or an
-15-
Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying
Agent, it shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on
each due date of the principal of or interest on any Securities,
segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund. The
Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee, and the Trustee may at any time during
the continuance of any default, upon written request to a Paying
Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith to the Trustee
all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. Upon doing so,
the Paying Agent (other than the Company) shall have no further
liability for the money.
Section 2.05.
Securityholder Lists .
The Trustee shall preserve in
as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list
available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the
Trustee is not the Primary Registrar, the Company shall furnish to
the Trustee at least five Business Days before each semiannual
interest payment date, and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the
Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of
Holders.
Section 2.06.
Transfer and Exchange .
(a) Subject to compliance
with any applicable additional requirements contained in
Section 2.12, when a Security is presented to a Registrar with
a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such
Security for an equal principal amount of Securities of other
authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer
or make the exchange as requested; provided , however
, that every Security presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by, if
applicable, any legal opinions, certifications or other evidence
required by the Company pursuant to Section 2.12 and, if it is
a Certificated Security, an assignment form in the form included in
Exhibit A , all in form satisfactory to the Registrar
duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized
in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon
surrender of any Security for transfer or exchange at an office or
agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities of a like
aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s
request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge,
except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto; provided that this
sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to
Section 2.10, 3.04, 5.02(f) or 12.05.
None of the Company, any
Registrar or the Trustee shall be required to exchange or register
a transfer of any Securities or portions thereof in respect of
which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered and
not withdrawn by the Holder thereof (except, in the case of the
purchase of a Security in part, the portion thereof not to be
purchased).
All Securities issued upon
any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations
of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon
such transfer or exchange.
-16-
(b) Any Registrar appointed
pursuant to Section 2.03 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.
(c) Each Holder of a Security
agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any
liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment
of such Holder’s Security in violation of any provision of
this Indenture and/or applicable U.S. federal or state securities
law. Prior to the due presentment of a registration of a transfer
of any Security, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem
and treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as
the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of all payments
with respect to such Securities, and neither the Trustee, any Agent
nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for
any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.
The Trustee shall have no
obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of
any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or
among Agent Members or other beneficial owners of interests in any
Global Security) other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly
required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the
terms of, this Indenture and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements
hereof.
Section 2.07.
Replacement Securities .
If any mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Company, a Registrar or the Trustee, or the
Company, a Registrar and the Trustee receive evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and
there is delivered to the Company, the applicable Registrar and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as will be required by them to
save each of them from any loss they may suffer if a Security is
replaced, then, in the absence of written notice to the Company,
such Registrar or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired
by a bona fide 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 number not contemporaneously
outstanding. The Trustee and the Company each may charge such
Holder for their expenses in replacing such Security.
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 redeemed or purchased by the
Company pursuant to Article 3, or converted pursuant to
Article 5, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a
new Security, pay, redeem, purchase or convert such Security, as
the case may be.
Upon the issuance of any new
Securities under this Section 2.07, 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 reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and
expenses of the Trustee or the Registrar) in connection
therewith.
-17-
Every new Security issued
pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not
the mutilated, 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 2.07 are (to the extent lawful) exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Securities.
Section 2.08.
Outstanding Securities .
Securities outstanding at any
time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee, except for
those canceled by it, those purchased pursuant to Article 3, those
converted pursuant to Article 5, those delivered to it for
cancellation or surrendered for transfer or exchange and those
described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.
If a Security is replaced
pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Company receives, subsequent to the new Security’s
authentication, proof satisfactory to the Company that the replaced
Security is held by a bona fide purchaser unaware that such
Security has been replaced.
If a Paying Agent (other than
the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds in respect of
Securities on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the Final
Maturity Date money sufficient to pay the principal of (including
premium, if any), and any accrued interest on Securities (or
portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after such
Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the Final Maturity Date, as the
case may be, such Securities (or portions thereof, as the case may
be) shall cease to be outstanding and any interest on them shall
cease to accrue.
Subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 2.09, a Security does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company
holds the Security.
Section 2.09.
Treasury Securities .
In determining whether the
Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have
concurred in any notice, direction, waiver or consent, Securities
owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or by
any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be
disregarded, except that, for purposes of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such notice,
direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a Trust Officer
of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in
good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to
the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act
with respect to the Securities and that the pledgee is not the
Company or any other obligor on the Securities or any Affiliate of
the Company or of such other obligor.
-18-
Section 2.10.
Temporary Securities .
Until definitive Securities
are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and,
upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be
substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have
variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary
Securities and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Every temporary Security shall be executed and registered by the
Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same
conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like
effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay,
the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver definitive Securities in exchange for temporary
Securities.
Section 2.11.
Cancellation .
The Company at any time may
deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The
Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall forward
to the Trustee or its agent any Securities surrendered to them for
transfer, exchange, redemption, payment or conversion. The
Trustee and no one else shall cancel, in accordance with its
standard procedures, all Securities surrendered for transfer,
exchange, redemption, payment, conversion or cancellation and shall
deliver the canceled Securities to the Company. All Securities
which are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Final Maturity Date shall
be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company may
not hold or resell such Securities or issue any new Securities to
replace any such Securities or any Securities that any Holder has
converted pursuant to Article 5.
Section 2.12.
Legends; Additional Transfer Requirements .
(a) Every Security that bears
or is required under this Section 2.12(a) to bear the
Restricted Security Legend set forth in this Section 2.12(a)
(the “ Transfer Restricted Securities ”) shall
be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in
Section 2.06 and this Section 2.12(a) (including those
set forth in the Restricted Security Legend set forth below), and
the Holder of each such Transfer Restricted Security, by such
Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such
restrictions on transfer. As used in Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b),
the term “transfer” includes any sale, pledge, transfer
or other disposition whatsoever of any Transfer Restricted
Security. The Registrar shall not register any transfer of a
Transfer Restricted Security not made in accordance with the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this
Section 2.12.
Subject to the last two
paragraphs of this Section 2.12(a), prior to the date upon
which the Trustee removes the Restricted Security Legend from any
Security (the “ Resale Restriction Termination Date
”, which shall have a correlative meaning in respect of any
Restricted Common Stock) any certificate evidencing such Security
(and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution
thereof, including Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion
thereof, which shall bear the legend set forth in
Section 2.12(b), if applicable) shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form:

So long as the Securities are
represented by Global Securities that are held by or on behalf of
the Depositary only, the Company may accomplish any delegending of
such Securities by:

representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Transfer
Restricted Security that bears or is required under this
Section 2.12(b) to bear the Restricted Stock Legend set forth

Common Stock ”) shall be subject to the restrictions on
transfer set forth in Section 2.06 and this
Section 2.12(b) (including those set forth in the Restricted
Stock Legend set forth below), and the Holder of such Common Stock
issued upon conversion of a Transfer Restricted Security, by such
Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such

Common Stock issued upon conversion of such a Transfer Restricted
Security not made in accordance with the restrictions on transfer
set forth in this Section 2.12.
Subject to the last paragraph
of this Section 2.12(b) and Section 2.15 with respect to
Common Stock, prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any
stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion
of a Transfer Restricted Security shall bear a legend in

sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared
effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be
effective at the time of such issuance) or such Common Stock has
been issued upon conversion of Securities that have been

contrary, in the event Rule 144(d) as promulgated under the
Securities Act (or any successor rule) is amended to change the
one-year period under Rule 144(d) (or the corresponding period
under any successor rule), from and after receipt by the Trustee of
the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel provided for
in this Section 2.12(d), (i) each reference in

YEAR” shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be
references to such changed period and (iii) all corresponding
references in the Security (including the definition of Resale
Restriction Termination Date) and the Restricted Security Legend
thereon shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to
such changed period, provided that such changes shall not
become effective if they are otherwise prohibited by, or would
otherwise cause a violation of, the then-applicable federal
securities laws. The provisions of this Section 2.12(d) shall
not be effective until such time as the Opinion of Counsel and
Officers’ Certificate have been received by the Trustee
hereunder. This Section 2.12(d) shall apply to successive
amendments to Rule 144(d) (or any successor rule) changing the
holding period thereunder.
(e) A Global Security may not
be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the
Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such
transfer to any such other Person may be registered;
provided that the foregoing 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. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Indenture or the Securities, transfers of a Global
Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance
with this Section 2.12.

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 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
(A) 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
(B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with
respect to the Securities. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant
to clause (A) shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part,
and any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (B) 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.
-23-
(ii) 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.
(iii) The registered Holder
may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including
Agent Members 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.
(iv) In the event of the
occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (i) above,
the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a
reasonable supply of Certificated Securities in definitive, fully
registered form, without interest coupons.
Section 2.13. Cusip
or ISIN Numbers .
The Company in issuing the
Securities may use one or more “CUSIP” and/or ISIN
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall
use “CUSIP” and/or ISIN numbers in notices of purchase
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 purchase and that reliance may be placed only on
the
-24-
other identification numbers printed on
the Securities, and any such purchase shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall
promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the
“CUSIP” and/or ISIN numbers.

Section 2.15.
Issuance, Transfer and Exchange of Common Stock Issuable Upon
Conversion of the Securities .

Stock to be issued upon conversion of Securities bearing the
Restricted Security Legend are to be registered in a name other
than that of the Holder of such Securities or (ii) shares of
Common Stock represented by a certificate bearing the Restricted
Stock Legend are transferred subsequently by such Holder, then the
Holder must deliver to the transfer agent for the Common Stock and
to the Company a certificate in substantially the form of
Exhibit B as to compliance with the restrictions on transfer
applicable to such shares of Common Stock and neither the transfer
agent nor the registrar for the Common Stock shall be required to
register any transfer of such Common Stock not so accompanied by a
properly completed certificate.
Section 2.16.
Additional Securities .
(a) The Company may, from
time to time without the consent of the Holders of outstanding
Securities, increase the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities by issuing additional Securities in the future pursuant
to this Indenture (“ Additional Securities ”)
having terms and conditions identical to those of the other
outstanding Securities, except that Additional Securities may have
a different initial date from which interest begins to accrue
thereon so that the Additional Securities are fungible with
outstanding Securities; provided that no differences
pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) shall cause such Additional
Securities to constitute a different class of securities than the
Securities issued on the Initial Issue Date for U.S. federal income
tax purposes; and provided , further , that the
Additional Securities shall have the same CUSIP number as the
Securities issued on the Initial Issue Date. The Securities issued
on the Initial Issue Date and any Additional Securities shall be
treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture,
including waivers, amendments, offers to purchase and U.S. federal
income tax purposes. No Additional Securities may be issued if on
the issue date therefor any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.
(b) With respect to any
Additional Securities, the Company shall set forth in an
Officers’ Certificate pursuant to a resolution of the Board
of Directors of the Company, copies of which shall be delivered to
the Trustee, the following information:
(i) the aggregate principal
amount of such Additional Securities to be authenticated and
delivered pursuant to this Indenture;
(ii) the issue date and the
issue price of such Additional Securities; and
(iii) whether such Additional
Securities will be subject to transfer restrictions under the
Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws).
-25-
In addition, the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in accordance with
Section 13.04 hereof certifying as to the satisfaction of all
conditions precedent to the authentication by the Trustee of such
Additional Securities.
Section 2.17.
Additional Interest .
Under certain circumstances,
the Company may be obligated to pay Additional Interest to Holders,
as and to the extent set forth in accordance with Section 7.10
and Section 9.02(b) hereof. Any Additional Interest is deemed
to be interest for purposes of this Indenture. The Trustee has no
duty to determine when Additional Interest under Section 7.10
or Section 9.02(b) hereof should be paid.
ARTICLE 3
PURCHASES OF SECURITIES
UPON FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE
Section 3.01.
Purchase of Securities at Option of the Holder Upon Fundamental
Change .
(a) If at any time that
Securities remain outstanding there shall occur a Fundamental
Change, Securities shall be purchased by the Company at the option
of the Holders, as of the date of the Company’s choosing that
is not less than 20 or more than 35 Business Days after the date on
which the Company notifies the Holders of the Securities of the
occurrence of the effective time of the Fundamental Change (the
“ Fundamental Change Purchase Date ”) at a
purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
Securities, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to, but
excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (the “
Fundamental Change Purchase Price ”), payable in Cash,
subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of any Holder of the
requirements set forth in subsection (c) of this
Section 3.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
may not purchase the Securities upon the occurrence of a
Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Securities has
been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or
prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
A “ Fundamental
Change ” shall mean the occurrence of a Change in Control
or a Termination of Trading.
A “ Change in
Control ” shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the

members of the Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors;
or
(iv) the holders of the

meanings given such terms under Section 13(d) and
14(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision to either

Stock of the Company and Unissued Shares deemed to be held by the

fractional shares and Cash payments made pursuant to
dissenters’ appraisal rights, consists of shares of common
stock traded on a U.S. national securities exchange, or that will
be so traded immediately following the merger, binding share
exchange or consolidation, and, as a result of the merger, binding
share exchange or consolidation, the Securities become convertible
into such shares of such common stock.

into which the Securities are convertible are not approved for
listing on a U.S. national securities exchange.

The delivery of such Security
to any Paying Agent (together with all necessary endorsements) at

therefor.
The Company shall purchase
from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.01, a
portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of the
Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security pursuant

Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to a Paying Agent the
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this
subsection (c) shall have the right to withdraw such
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in whole or in a portion thereof
that is a principal amount of $1,000 or in an integral multiple
thereof at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
the second scheduled Trading Day next preceding the Fundamental

of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such
Fundamental Change Purchase Date) sufficient to pay the aggregate
Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions
thereof that are to be purchased as of such Fundamental Change
Purchase Date. The manner in which the deposit required by
this Section 3.03 is made by the Company shall be at the
option of the Company; provided that such deposit shall be
made in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the
Paying Agent such that the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall have
immediately available funds on the Fundamental Change Purchase

If a Paying Agent holds, in
accordance with the terms hereof, money sufficient to pay the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Security for which a
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been tendered and not
withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture, then, on the
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, such Security shall cease to be
outstanding and the rights of the Holder in respect thereof shall
terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change
Purchase Price as aforesaid). The Company shall publicly
announce the principal amount of Securities purchased as a result
of such Fundamental Change on or as soon as practicable after the
Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
To the extent that the
aggregate amount of Cash deposited by the Company pursuant to this
Section 3.03 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase
Price of the Securities or portions thereof that the Company is
obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Fundamental Change
Purchase Date the Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be,
shall return any such excess Cash to the Company.

purchased.

amount of the Securities has been accelerated under
Section 9.02, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on
or prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
Section 3.07.
Trustee’s Fundamental Change Purchase Disclaimer
.
The Trustee has no duty to
determine when a Fundamental Change has occurred, or when purchases
of Securities upon a Fundamental Change under Article 3 should be
made. The Trustee shall not be accountable for and makes no

in respect of any Fundamental Change. The Trustee shall not be

ARTICLE 4
PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND
ADDITIONAL SHARES
Section 4.01.
Interest Payments .
(a) The Company shall pay
interest on the Securities at a rate of 1.75% per annum,
payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and
October 15 of each year (each, an “ Interest Payment
Date ”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, the
immediately following Business Day, commencing October 15,
2008. Interest on a Security shall be paid to the Holder of such
Security at the close of business on April 1 or October 1
(each, a “ Record Date ”), as the case may be,
next preceding the related Interest Payment Date, and shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months. In the event of the maturity, conversion, or purchase
of a Security by the Company at the option of the Holder, interest
shall cease to accrue on such Security. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, however, the Company shall pay
interest on the Final Maturity Date to Holders on the Record Date
immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date in respect of the
period ending with the Final Maturity Date regardless of whether
such Holders convert their Securities.
(b) Upon conversion of a
Security, (i) a Holder shall not receive any Cash payment of
interest (unless such Holder is the Holder on a Record Date and
such conversion occurs between such Record Date and the Interest
Payment Date to which it relates, in which case a Holder on the
Record Date shall receive on the Interest Payment Date accrued and
unpaid interest) and the
-31-
Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted to
account for accrued and unpaid interest and (ii) except as set
forth in clause (c) below, the Company’s delivery to a
Holder of Cash and shares, if any, of Common Stock into which the
Security is convertible shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation
with respect to such Security, and any accrued but unpaid interest
shall be deemed to be paid in full upon conversion, rather than
cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.
(c) Securities surrendered
for conversion by a Holder after the close of business on any
Record Date but prior to the next Interest Payment Date must be
accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest that
shall be payable on the Securities; provided ,
however , that no such payment need be made (1) if the
Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is
after a Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment
Date, (2) with respect to any Securities surrendered for
conversion following the Record Date for the payment of interest
immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date or (3) only to
the extent of overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at
the time of conversion with respect to such Securities.
Section 4.02.
Additional Shares .
(a) If a Holder elects to
convert its Securities pursuant to Section 5.01(d) hereof in
connection with a Qualifying Fundamental Change that occurs prior
to the Final Maturity Date, the Conversion Rate of the Securities
being converted by such Holder at that time shall be increased by
an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “
Additional Shares ”) determined by reference to the
table attached as Schedule 4.02 hereto. For avoidance of doubt, the
adjustment provided for in this Section 4.02 shall be made
only with respect to the Securities converted in connection with
such Qualifying Fundamental Change and shall not be effective as to
any Securities not so converted.
(b) For purposes of
determining the applicable number of Additional Shares pursuant to
Schedule 4.02:
(i) “ Effective
Date” shall mean the date the Qualifying Fundamental
Change occurs or becomes effective; and
(ii) “ Stock
Price” shall mean:
(x) in the case of a
Qualifying Fundamental Change described in clause (ii) of the
definition of Change in Control in which the holders of Common
Stock receive only Cash in such Qualifying Fundamental Change, the
Cash amount paid per share; or
(y) in the case of any other
Qualifying Fundamental Change, the average of the last reported
Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the five consecutive
Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day preceding the
Effective Date of such Qualifying Fundamental Change.
(c) If the Stock Price is
between two Stock Price amounts in the table attached as Schedule
4.02 hereto, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by
a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional
Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts,
based on a 365-day year.
-32-
(d) If the Effective Date
falls between two Effective Dates in the table attached as Schedule
4.02 hereto, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by
a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional
Shares set forth for the two dates, based on a 365-day
year.
(e) No increase in the
Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.02 if
the Stock Price (i) exceeds $100.00 per share (subject to
adjustment) or (ii) is less than $24.85 per share (subject to
adjustment).
(f) The Stock Price figures
set forth in the first row of the table (i.e., column headers) in
Schedule 4.02 hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which the
Conversion Price of the Securities is adjusted pursuant to
Section 5.06. The Stock Price figures set forth in the table
shall be adjusted by the same adjustment factor applied to the
Conversion Price pursuant to Section 5.06. The number of
Additional Shares indicated in the table shall be adjusted by the
inverse of the adjustment factor applied to the Conversion Price
pursuant to Section 5.06.
(g) In no event shall the
Conversion Rate be increased to more than 40.2366 shares per $1,000
principal amount of Securities (the “ Maximum Conversion
Rate ”) pursuant to the events described in this
Section 4.02. The Maximum Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as
of any date on which the Conversion Price of the Securities is
adjusted pursuant to Section 5.06, by the inverse of the
adjustment factor applied to the Conversion Price pursuant to such
section.
(h) The Company shall notify
Holders of the anticipated Effective Date of a Qualifying
Fundamental Change and issue a press release as soon as practicable
after the Company first determines the anticipated Effective Date
of such Qualifying Fundamental Change.

Securities, a Holder may surrender a Security for conversion at any
time prior to the close of business on October 15, 2014, at
the Conversion Price then in effect, if, during any calendar
quarter (the “ Quarter ”) (and only during such
Quarter) commencing after June 30, 2008, the Closing Sale
Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days in the
period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading
Day of the Quarter preceding the Quarter in which the conversion
occurs is more than 130% of the Conversion Price of the Securities
in effect on that last Trading Day.
(b) Subject to the further
provisions of this Article 5 and paragraph 6 of the
Securities, if the Trading Price for the Securities on each Trading
Day during any five
-33-
consecutive Trading Day period was less
than 98% of the Closing Sale Price of Common Stock on such date
multiplied by the then current Conversion Rate, a Holder may
surrender a Security for conversion, prior to the close of business
on October 15, 2014, at the Conversion Price then in effect,
at any time during the following five Trading Days;
(c) Subject to the further
provisions of this Article 5 and paragraph 6 of the
Securities, in the event that the Company declares
(i) a dividend or
distribution of any rights, options or warrants to all or

period of not more than 60 days, to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Closing
Sale Price per share on the record date for such dividend or
distribution, or
(ii) a dividend or
distribution of Cash, debt securities (or other evidences of
Indebtedness) or other assets (excluding dividends or distributions
for which a Conversion Price adjustment is required to be made
under Section 5.06(a)(i) or (ii) or 5.06(b) hereof)
where the Fair Market Value of such dividend or distribution per
share of Common Stock, as determined in this Indenture, together
with all other such dividends and distributions within the
preceding twelve months, exceeds 10% of the Closing Sale Price of
the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the
date of declaration for such dividend or distribution,
a Holder may surrender a Security for
conversion, prior to the close of business on October 15,
2014, at the Conversion Price then in effect beginning on the date
the Company gives notice to the Holders of such right, which, to
the extent practicable, shall not be less than 40 days prior to the
ex-dividend time for such dividend or distribution, until the
earlier of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the
ex-dividend time or until the Company announces that such
distribution shall not take place, provided that Holders may
not exercise such right, and the Company shall not be required to
deliver such notice, if such Holders may participate (as a result
of holding the Securities, and at the same time as holders of
Common Stock participate) in any of the transactions described in
either of clauses (i) or (ii) above as if such Holders
held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the then
applicable Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount of
Securities held by such Holders, divided by 1,000, without
conversion of their Securities;
(d) Subject to the further
provisions of this Article 5 and paragraph 6 of the
Securities, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change with
respect to the Company, a Holder may surrender a Security for
