     (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

     (c) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, fix any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 10.01) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be.

     Section 1.05 . Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

     (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, with a copy to the Secretary or such other means reasonably acceptable to the Company.

     Section 1.06 . Notice to Holders; Waiver.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, or by such other means reasonably acceptable to the Holder, in each case not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

     In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

     Section 1.07 . Conflict With Trust Indenture Act.

     If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

     Section 1.12 . Governing Law.

     This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

     Section 1.13 . Legal Holidays.

     In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Stated Maturity, or the last date on which a Holder has the right to convert his Securities, shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of interest or

principal or conversion of the Securities need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day (or, with respect to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, promptly following the later of (i) such next succeeding Business Day and (ii) the time of book entry transfer or the delivery of the Securities as set forth in Section 5.01) with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Stated Maturity, or on such last day for conversion, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability.

     This waiver and release is part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

     Section 1.15 . Indenture May Be Executed in Counterparts.

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

     Section 1.16 . Acceptance of Trust.

     U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee named herein, hereby accepts the trusts in this Indenture declared and provided, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

     Section 1.17 . Calculations in Respect of Notes .

These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the Last Reported Sales Price, accrued interest payable on the Securities and the Conversion Rate on the Securities. The Company shall make all these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, the Company’s calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Company shall provide a schedule of the Company’s calculations to each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, and each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 15 or November 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date (or

such lesser period that is acceptable to the Trustee), or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. Payment of the principal of and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, which shall initially be the corporate trust operations office of U.S. Bank National Association in St. Paul, Minnesota, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however , that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed

     Dated:

     Section 2.03 . Form of Reverse of Security.

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 (herein called the “ Initial Securities ”), initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,265,000,000, issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 10, 2008 (herein called the “ Indenture ”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “ Trustee ”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Company

may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Securities, create and issue further Securities (the “ Additional Securities ”, and together with the Initial Securities, the “ Securities ”) having the same terms and ranking equally and ratably with the Initial Securities, as part of one series, in all respects and with the same CUSIP number as the Initial Securities, or in all respects except for payment of interest accruing prior to the Issue Date of such Initial Securities, provided that such Additional Securities are fungible with the Initial Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any Additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Initial Securities and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption, and otherwise as the Initial Securities. Any Additional Securities may be issued pursuant to authorization provided by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, a supplement to the Indenture, or under an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to the Indenture. No Additional Securities may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Initial Securities.

     In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security or the last day on which a Holder of a Security has a right to convert his Security shall be, at any Place of Payment or Place of Conversion, as the case may be, a day on which banking institutions at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close, then payment of principal, interest or delivery for conversion of such Security need not be made on or by such date at such place but may be made on or by the next succeeding day at such place which is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment or the date fixed for redemption or repurchase, or by such last day for conversion, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period after such date.

     Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Securities or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities such Holder elects to require the Company to repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company or, at the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall mail to all Holders of record of the Securities a notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof after the occurrence of any Fundamental Change, but on or before the 10 ^th calendar day following such occurrence.

     Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture (including, without limitation, the conditions of conversion set froth in Article 6 hereof), the Holder of this Security is entitled, at his or her option, to convert this Security (or any portion of the principal amount hereof which is $1,000 or an

integral multiple thereof), at the principal amount hereof, or of such portion, into cash and fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company, if any, at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, by surrender of this Security together with a Notice of Conversion, a form of which is set forth in Section 2.05, as provided in the Indenture and this note, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, to the Company at its office or agency, which shall be initially the corporate trust operations office of U.S. Bank National Association in St. Paul, Minnesota, and, unless the cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, deliverable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as this note, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or its agent duly executed by, the Holder or by his duly authorized attorney, or if less than the entire principal amount hereof is to be converted, the portion hereof to be converted, and, in case such surrender shall be made during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date, also accompanied by payment in dollars of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of this Security then being converted. Subject to the aforesaid requirement for payment and, in the case of a conversion after the Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, to the right of the Holder of this Security (or any Predecessor Security) of record at such Regular Record Date to receive an installment of interest (with certain exceptions provided in the Indenture), no payment or adjustment is to be made on conversion for interest accrued hereon or for dividends on the Common Stock issued on conversion. No fractions of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. In addition, the Indenture provides that in case of certain consolidations or mergers to which the Company is a party or the transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Indenture shall be amended, without the consent of any Holders of Securities, so that this Security, if then outstanding, will be convertible thereafter, during the period this Security shall be convertible as specified above, by reference to the kind and amount of cash, securities and other property or assets that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive.

     No sinking fund is provided for the Securities and the Securities are not subject to redemption at the option of the Company.

     In the event of conversion of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unconverted portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

     If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed or to convert this Security as provided in the Indenture.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, provided that such denomination is a minimum of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     Prior to the first anniversary of the Issue Date set forth on the face of this Security, this Security may not be transferred to or sold by any affiliate (within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this 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 this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

All Securities shall bear the applicable legends set forth on the face of the form of Security in Section 2.02. Except as provided in Section 3.06

and Section 3.10, the Trustee shall not issue any unlegended Security until it has received an Officers’ Certificate from the Company directing it to do so.

ARTICLE 3
The Securities

     Section 3.01 . Title and Terms; Principal and Interest.

     The aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to $1,265,000,000 and the aggregate amount of Additional Securities is unlimited, except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Section 3.03, Section 3.04, Section 3.05, Section 3.06, Section 3.07, Section 12.06 or Section 6.01.

     The Initial Securities and the Additional Securities, if any, shall be known and designated as the “1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013” of the Company.

     The Securities shall mature on June 1, 2013,

     The Securities shall bear interest at the rate of 1.75% per annum, from June 10, 2008 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing December 1, 2008, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment.

     Principal of and interest (including Additional Interest and Reporting Interest) on, Global Securities shall be payable to DTC in immediately available funds.

     Principal on definitive Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, initially the agency of the Trustee at St. Paul, Minnesota (such office and city in which the Paying Agent is located being herein after called the “Place of Payment”). Interest (including Additional Interest and Reporting Interest), on definitive Securities will be payable (i) to each Holder of Securities having an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or less, by check mailed to such Holder and (ii) to each Holder of Securities having an aggregate principal amount of more than $5,000,000, either by check mailed to such Holder or, upon application by such Holder to the Registrar not later than the relevant Regular Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that Holder’s account within the United States, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies, in writing, the Registrar to the contrary.

     The Securities shall be convertible as provided in Article 6 (any city in which the Conversion Agent is located being herein after called the “Place of Conversion”).

     Section 3.02 . Denominations.

     The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

     Section 3.03 . Global Securities; Non-Global Securities; Book-entry Provisions.

     The Securities may be issued in Global or Non-Global (Definitive) Form as provided in this Indenture.

     (a)  Global Securities

     (i) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of, and delivered to, Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC (the “ Depositary ”). Each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

     (ii) Except for exchanges of Global Securities for definitive, non-Global Securities at the sole discretion of the Company, no Global Securities may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Securities in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (1) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (2) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so or (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security. In such event, if a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not appointed by the Company within 90 calendar days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate directing the authentication and delivery of non-Global Securities, shall authenticate and deliver, non-Global Securities, in any authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security in exchange for such Global Security.

     (iii) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the Trustee, as Registrar, for exchange or cancellation, as provided in this Article. If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in part, or if another Security is

to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, in each case, as provided in Article 2 of this Indenture, then either (A) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation, as provided in this Article, or (B) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security, the Trustee shall, subject to this Article, authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its authorized representative. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Depositary the names, addresses and tax identification numbers of the Persons in whose name the Securities are to be registered prior to such authentication and delivery. Upon the request of the Trustee in connection with the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Securities that are not in the form of Global Securities. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article if such order, direction or request is given or made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures (to the extent such procedures are applicable to such direction or request).

     (iv) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a registered Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof, in which case such Security shall be authenticated and delivered in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 3.03.

     (v) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members and such owners of

beneficial interests in a Global Security shall not be considered the owners or holders thereof.

     (b)  Non-Global Securities . Securities issued upon the events described in Section 3.03(a)(ii) shall be in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

     Section 3.04 . Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President or one of its Vice Presidents, Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

     Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities; and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     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 executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.10, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

     The Company may, subject to Article 4 of this Indenture and applicable law, issue under this Indenture Additional Securities; provided , however , that the Company may not issue Additional Securities if an Event of Default with respect to any Outstanding Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of

such issuance. All Securities issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.

     Section 3.05 . 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 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 any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, 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 3.06 . Registrar, Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Paying Agent.

     (a)  Registrar . The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 4.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “ Security Register ”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and for the transfers or exchange of Securities. Such Security Register shall distinguish between Initial Securities and Additional Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers and exchanges of Securities as herein provided. The Company may change the Security Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Security Registrar.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02 for such purpose, 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, provided that such denomination is a minimum of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and of a like aggregate principal amount,

each such Security bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

     At the option of the Holder and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.06 and to Section 3.10, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged 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.

     All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

     Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. As a condition to the registration of transfer of any Restricted Securities, the Company or the Trustee may require evidence satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set froth in the legend of such Securities.

     Except as provided in the following sentence and in Section 3.10, all Securities originally issued hereunder and all Securities issued upon registration of transfer or exchange or replacement thereof shall be Restricted Securities and shall bear the legends required by Section 2.02 and Section 2.05, unless the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (and the Security Registrar, if other than the Trustee) a Company Order stating that the Security is not a Restricted Security and may be issued without such legend thereon. Securities that are issued upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, Securities that are not Restricted Securities shall not be Restricted Securities and shall not bear such legend.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, Section 12.06 or Section 6.01 not involving any transfer.

     (b)  Restrictions on Transfer . Beneficial ownership of every Restricted Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the legends required to be set forth on the face of each Restricted Security pursuant to Section 2.02 and Section 2.05, unless such restrictions on transfer shall be terminated in accordance with this Section 3.06(b) or Section 3.10. The Holder of each

Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by such restrictions on transfer.

     The restrictions imposed by this Section 3.06 and by Section 2.02, Section 2.05 and Section 3.10 upon the transferability of any particular Restricted Security shall cease and terminate upon such Restricted Security having been sold pursuant to an effective Resale Registration Statement under the Securities Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto). Any Restricted Security as to which the restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon surrender of such Restricted Security for exchange to the Security Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.06, be exchanged for a new Security, of like tenor and aggregate Principal Amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legends required by Section 2.02 and Section 2.05. The Company shall inform the Trustee in writing of the effective date of any Resale Registration Statement registering the Securities under the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned resale registration statement.

     Prior to the first anniversary of the Issue Date, the Securities may not be transferred to or sold by any affiliate (within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration.

     As used in the preceding three paragraphs of this Section 3.06, the term “ transfer ” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of any Restricted Security.

     (c)  Paying Agent . The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “ Paying Agent ”). The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent for the Securities. The Company may have one or more additional paying agents and the term “Paying Agent” shall include any such additional paying agent.

     The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the Trust Indenture Act, except in the case of a Paying Agent that acts as Paying Agent solely in connection with an offer to purchase the Securities pursuant to Article 4 of this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that
