calculation to:

of such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (and the
application of the proceeds thereof) giving rise to the need to
make such calculation and any incurrence or repayment of other
Indebtedness (and the application of the proceeds thereof), other
than the incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness in the ordinary
course of business for working capital purposes pursuant to working
capital facilities, occurring during the Four Quarter Period or at

subject of the Asset Acquisition or asset sale or other disposition

Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four
Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such
asset sale or other disposition or Asset Acquisition (including the
incurrence, assumption or liability for any such Acquired
Indebtedness) occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period.
If such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries directly or
indirectly guarantees Indebtedness of a third Person, the preceding
sentence shall give effect to the incurrence of such guaranteed
Indebtedness as if such Person or any Restricted Subsidiary of such
Person had directly incurred or otherwise assumed such guaranteed
Indebtedness.
For purposes of this definition, Transaction
Date means the date of the incurrence, repayment, asset sale,
disposition or Asset Acquisition, as applicable, giving rise to the
need to calculate the Distributable Amount to Consolidated Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio.
Furthermore, in calculating “Consolidated
Fixed Charges” for purposes of determining the denominator of
this “Distributable Amount to Consolidated Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio”:
(1) interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined
on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will
continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have
accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on
such Indebtedness in effect on the Transaction Date; and
(2) notwithstanding clause (1) above, interest on
Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such
interest is covered by agreements relating to Interest Rate Hedging
Agreements, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum
resulting after giving effect to the operation of such
agreements.

governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
therewith.
Section 2.02 Terms of the Debentures .
The following terms relating to the Debentures
are hereby established:
(a) Stated Maturity . The entire outstanding principal of the
Debentures shall be due and payable, unless accelerated, redeemed
or required to be repurchased pursuant to the Indenture, on
September 30, 2022.
(i) The rate at which the Debentures shall bear
interest shall be 6.50% per annum; the date from which interest
shall accrue on the Debentures shall be the Issue Date, or the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
provided for. Interest shall be paid in cash. No contingent
interest will be paid with respect to the Debentures.
(ii) If the Company elects to redeem, or the Holders
elect to require the Company to repurchase, the Debentures on a
date that is after the Regular Record Date and prior to the
corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on the Debentures to, but not
including, the applicable Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change
of Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, to the holder of
record on the Regular Record Date.
Except as provided below, if any Debentures are
surrendered for conversion on any date other than an Interest
Payment Date, the Holder of such Debentures will not be entitled to
receive any interest, if any, that has accrued on such Debentures
since the prior Interest Payment Date. By delivery to the Holder of
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other consideration
issuable upon conversion in accordance with Article 16 of the
Indenture (as amended by Section 2.11 of this First Supplemental
Indenture), any accrued and unpaid interest on such Debentures will
be deemed to have been paid in full.
All Holders agree, by their acceptance of a
Debenture, that if a Holder of Debentures converts on a date after
a Regular Record Date for an interest payment but prior to the
corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Holder of such Debentures
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the immediately
preceding Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an
Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date)
will receive on that Interest Payment Date accrued and unpaid
interest on such Debentures, but, at the time the Holder surrenders
such Debentures for conversion, the Holder must pay the Company the
interest that has accrued and will be paid on such Interest Payment
Date. No such payment need be made with respect to Debentures that
will be redeemed by the Company after a Regular Record Date but
prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
(iii) If the principal amount of or any portion of
such principal amount of, or any interest, if any, on, any
Debentures is not paid when due (whether upon acceleration pursuant
to Section 5.2 of the Indenture or on the Stated Maturity or on
Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change of Control Purchase Date),
then in each such case the overdue amount shall, to the extent
permitted by law, bear interest at the applicable interest rate,
compounded semi-annually, which interest shall accrue from the date
of such overdue amount was originally due to the date of payment of
such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly
provided for. All such interest shall be payable on
demand.
(c) Paying Agent and Conversion Agent
. The Company shall maintain an
office or agency where Debentures may be presented for purchase or
payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where
Debentures may be presented for conversion (“Conversion
Agent”). The Company may have one or more additional Paying
Agents and one or more additional Conversion Agents.
The Company shall enter into an appropriate
agency agreement with any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (other
than the Trustee). The agreement shall implement the provisions of
this Indenture that relate to such agent. If the Company fails to
maintain a Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act
as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor
pursuant to Section 6.7 of the Indenture. The Company or any
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent
or Conversion Agent.
The Company initially appoints the Trustee as
Conversion Agent and Paying Agent in connection with the
Debentures. The Trustee shall be entitled to appropriate
compensation for acting in such capacities.
(i) The Place of Payment for the Debentures and the
place or places where the Debentures may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, repurchase, redemption or
conversion and where notices may be given to the Company in respect
of the Debentures is at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee
or such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated
for such purpose. Payment of principal and interest, if any, on the
Debentures will be 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 (or shares as provided above or a
combination of cash and those shares).
(ii) The Company will pay principal on (1) global
Debentures to the Depositary in immediately available funds and (2)
any definitive Debentures in immediately available funds at the
Company’s office or agency in New York City, which initially
will be the Place of Payment as provided in Section 10.2 of the
Indenture.
(iii) The Company will pay interest, if any, on (1)
global Debentures to the Depositary in immediately available funds,
(2) any definitive Debentures having an aggregate principal amount
of $5,000,000 or less by check mailed to the Holders of such
Debentures, and (3) any definitive Debentures having an aggregate
principal amount of more than $5,000,000 by wire transfer in
immediately available funds if requested by the Holders of such
Debentures. At Stated Maturity the Company will pay interest on (1)
any definitive Debentures at the Company’s office or agency
in New York City, which initially will be the Place of Payment as
provided in Section 10.2 of the Indenture and (2) or global
Debenture to the Depositary in immediately available
funds.
(i) At the Option of the Company
. At any time from October 1, 2008,
the Company, at its option, may redeem in principal amounts of
$1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 the Debentures for cash as a
whole, or from time to time in part, at a Redemption Price of 114%
of the principal amount of the Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption
Date:
(ii) Mandatory Redemption with Extraordinary
Dividends . From
January 1, 2006 to and including December 31, 2006, in the
event the Company receives any Extraordinary Dividends from any of
its subsidiaries, the Company shall redeem the Debentures and any
other series of Securities issued under the Indenture having
substantially identical terms to the Debentures pro rata in
principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 with
50% of the amount of such dividends for cash at a Redemption Price
of 110% of the principal amount of the Debentures plus accrued
unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date. The aggregate
principal amount of the Debentures plus any other series of
Securities issued under the Indenture having substantially
identical terms to the Debentures to be redeemed pursuant to this
Section 2.02(e)(ii) shall not exceed $35,000,000.
(iii) Additional Terms of Redemption.
For redemptions pursuant to clause
(i) above, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders of
any redemption at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to any
redemption by mail. For redemptions pursuant to clause (ii) above,
the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders by mail no
later than five (5) days after the receipt by it of an
Extraordinary Dividend from any Subsidiary (and at least 20
Business Days, but no more than 45 Business Days prior to the
Redemption Date), which notice shall specify the amount of the
Extraordinary Dividend and the Redemption Date. All notices of
redemptions will contain information concerning the premium, if
any, payable with respect to the applicable redemption. No less
than one (1) Business Day prior to the Redemption Date specified in
the Company’s notice, the Holders shall provide the Company
with notice of their election to receive any premium payable with
respect to the applicable redemption in the Applicable Stock. Such
notice will contain the information set forth in Section
13.1(1)(A), (B) and (C) of the Original Indenture (as amended by
Section 2.09 of this First Supplemental Indenture). Any Holder who
fails to provide a notice of election to receive the applicable
premium in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock shall
be deemed to have elected to receive cash in respect of any
applicable premium for all Debentures subject to the redemption in
which a premium is payable. The Company shall provide the Trustee
with copies of the Holders’ notices of election immediately
upon receipt.
Debentures or portions thereof to be redeemed as
of a Redemption Date will be convertible by the Holders of such
Debentures until the close of business on the second Business Day
prior to the Redemption Date.
If the Company does not redeem all of the
Debentures, the Trustee shall select the Debentures to be redeemed
in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof, by
lot or on a pro rata basis. If any Debentures are to be redeemed in
part only, the Company shall issue a Security or Debenture with a
principal amount equal to the unredeemed principal portion thereof.
If a portion of a Holder’s Securities or Debentures is
selected for partial redemption and the Holder converts a portion
of its Securities or Debentures the converted portion shall be
deemed to be taken from the portion selected for
redemption.
(i) Upon a Change of Control, the Debentures shall
be purchased by the Company, at the option of the Holder thereof,
at a price equal to the price (which, in this context shall be the
“Change of Control Purchase Price”) set forth below and
in Section 7 of the Debentures and in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture, including, without limitation,

(iii) On June 30, 2009 the Debentures shall be
repurchased by the Company, at the option of the Holders, at the
Repurchase Price of 114% of the principal amount of the Debentures
to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
Purchase Date and in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture including, without limitation, Article 13 (as amended by
Section 2.09 of this First Supplemental Indenture) .
(g) Premium Payable in Stock at Option of the
Holder .
(i) In connection with any premium (the portion of
the consideration payable in excess of principal amount) payable to
a Holder of the Debentures in connection with redemptions pursuant
to Section 2.02(e)(i) and (ii) of this First Supplemental Indenture
and repurchases pursuant to Section 2.02(f) of this First
Supplemental Indenture which, in each case, results from an event
or action occurring on or prior to June 30, 2009, each Holder will
have the option to elect to receive such premium in cash or in
shares of Applicable Stock (defined below). For the purposes of
calculating the number of shares issuable to any Holder of the
Debentures who elects to exercise such option, the shares of
Applicable Stock will be valued at $8.00 per share as adjusted
pursuant to Section 16.3 of the Indenture
(as amended by
Section 2.11 of this First Supplemental Indenture) as if such $8.00
were the Conversion Price. In lieu of issuing any fractional shares
of the Applicable Stock, the Company shall pay the remainder of the
premium in cash as if the cash value of a full share were $8.00. In
the event any premium is payable to a Holder in Applicable Stock,
the Company shall, to the extent applicable, comply with the tender
offer rules and all other applicable laws in accordance with
Section 13.7 of the Indenture (as amended by 2.09 of this First
Supplemental Indenture).
(ii) The Company shall designate, in the notice
delivered pursuant to Sections 2.02(e)(iii) and 2.02(f) of this
First Supplemental Indenture and Sections 13.1 and 13.2 of the
Indenture (as amended by Section 2.09 of this First Supplemental
Indenture), the number of shares of Applicable Stock (defined
below) payable for any applicable premium; provided that the
Company will pay cash for fractional interests as set forth
below.
“Applicable Stock” means (i) the
Class A Common Stock and (ii) in the event of a merger,
consolidation or other similar transaction involving the Company
that is otherwise permitted hereunder in which the Company is not
the surviving corporation, the common stock, ordinary shares or
American Depositary Shares of such surviving corporation or its
direct or indirect parent corporation.
(iii) On each Redemption Date, Change of Control
Purchase Date, Asset Sale Purchase Date or Purchase Date, in each
case, resulting from an event or action occurring on or prior to
June 30, 2009, any applicable premium shall be paid, at the option
of the Holder, in shares of Applicable Stock equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount of the premium that a
Holder has elected to be paid in shares of Applicable Stock by (ii)
$8.00 as adjusted pursuant to Section 16.3 of the Indenture (as
amended by Section 2.11 of this First Supplemental Indenture) as if
such $8.00 value were the Conversion Price.
The Company will not issue fractional shares of
Applicable Stock in payment of any premium. Instead, the Company
will pay cash equal to $8.00 times such fraction for all fractional
shares.
The Company’s issuance of shares of
Applicable Stock shall be conditioned upon:
(i) the registration of such shares of Applicable
Stock under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, in each case,
if required;
(ii) such shares of Applicable Stock being first
listed on a national securities exchange or such shares of
Applicable Stock being first quoted in an inter-dealer quotation
system of any registered United States national securities
association;
(iii) any necessary qualification or registration
under applicable state securities laws or the availability of an
exemption from such qualification and registration; and
(iv) the receipt by the Trustee of an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating
that (A) the terms of the issuance of the shares of Applicable
Stock are in conformity with this Indenture and (B) the shares of
Applicable Stock to be issued by the Company in payment of the
applicable premium in respect of Debentures have been duly
authorized and, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of
this Indenture in payment of the applicable premiums, in respect of
the Debentures, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge,
free from preemptive rights, and, in the case of such
Officer’s Certificate, setting forth the number of Applicable
Stock to be issued and stating that all applicable conditions have
been satisfied and, in the case of such Opinion of Counsel, stating
that the conditions in clauses (i) through (iii) above have been
satisfied.
The Company hereby covenants to satisfy the
foregoing conditions.
Upon determination of the actual number of
shares of Applicable Stock to be issued, the Company shall
disseminate a press release through Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
or Bloomberg Business News containing this information or publish
the information through such other public medium as the Company may
use at that time.
(i) All shares of Class A Common Stock delivered in
respect of any applicable premium shall be newly issued shares or
treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable, and shall be free from preemptive rights
and free of any Lien or adverse claim.
(ii) If a Holder is paid in shares of Applicable
Stock, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar
issue or transfer tax due on such issue of Applicable Stock.
However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the
Holder requests the Applicable 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 Applicable
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 Applicable 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.
(h) Conversion . The Debentures shall be convertible at any
time prior to the Stated Maturity from and after the date of
issuance in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture,
including, without limitation, Article 16 (as amended by Section
2.11 of this First Supplemental Indenture).
“Conversion Price” means initially
$16.368, subject to adjustment as set forth in Article 16 of the
Indenture (as amended by Section 2.11 of this First Supplemental
Indenture).

Supplemental Indenture, for the sole benefit of the Holders of the
Debentures, Section 3.7 of the Original Indenture shall be amended

In the event Securities of any series or a
portion thereof is surrendered for conversion or exchange during a
period after the Regular Record Date immediately preceding any
Interest Payment Date and on or prior to such Interest Payment Date
(unless such Securities or portion thereof which is being
surrendered for conversion or exchange has been called for
redemption on a Redemption Date within such period), the Company
will pay on such Interest Payment Date or payment date, as the case
may be, interest due and payable on such Interest Payment Date or
payment date, as the case may be, notwithstanding such conversion
or exchange, and the Company will pay such interest (whether or not
punctually paid or duly provided for) to the Person in whose name
such Securities (or one or more Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date;
provided, however, that such payment of interest shall be subject
to the payment to the Company by the Holder of such Securities or
portion thereof surrendered for conversion or exchange (such
payment to accompany such surrender) of an amount equal to the
amount of such interest, in accordance with Section 16.9 hereof.
Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence,
in the case of any Security which is converted, interest due and
payable after the date of conversion of such Security shall not be
payable.

and the Trustee by the holder of such Security; or
(10) a breach of a covenant set forth in Sections
3.04, 3.06 or 3.08 of this First Supplemental Indenture.

the provisions of Section 3.04 of the First Supplemental Indenture.
Purchases of Debentures hereunder shall be made, at the option of

Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 13.1 only if the
Debenture so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all
material respects to the description thereof in the related
Purchase Notice.
In the event a Holder is making an election to
receive any applicable premium in Applicable Stock, notice of such
election may be delivered to the Paying Agent on a date that is no
less than one (1) Business Day prior to the Purchase Date pursuant
to 2.02(g).
If a Holder, in such Holder’s Purchase
Notice and in any written notice of withdrawal delivered by such
Holder pursuant to the terms of Section 13.4, fails to indicate
such Holder’s choice with respect to the election set forth
in clause (C) of this Section 13.1(a)(1), and does not provide a
subsequent notice of its election to receive the premium in
Applicable Stock to the Company and the Paying Agent no later than
one (1) Business Day before the Purchase Date, such Holder shall be
deemed to have elected to receive cash in respect of any applicable
premium for all Debentures subject to such Purchase
Notice.
(b) No later than 30 Business Days prior to the
Purchase Date, the Company shall mail a written notice by first
class mail to the Trustee and to each Holder (and to beneficial

for a Holder to exercise the repurchase rights;
(5) the name and address of the Paying Agent and
the Conversion Agent;
(6) the Conversion Rate and any adjustments
thereto;
(7) that the Debentures as to which a Purchase
Notice has been given may be converted if they are otherwise
convertible pursuant to Article 16 hereof only if the Purchase
Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture;
(8) that the Debentures must be surrendered to the
Paying Agent to collect payment;
(9) that the Purchase Price for any Debenture as to
which a Notice has been duly given and not withdrawn will be paid
promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the time of
surrender of such Debenture as described in (9);

exercise rights under this Section 13.1;
(11) the conversion rights of the
Debentures;
(12) the procedures for withdrawing a Purchase
Notice;
(13) the number of shares of Applicable Stock
payable for any applicable premium;
(14) that, unless the Company defaults in making
payment of such Purchase Price, interest, if any, on Debentures
surrendered for purchase to the Company will cease to accrue on and
after the Purchase Date and the Debentures will cease to be
convertible; and
(15) the CUSIP number(s) of the
Debentures.
If a Debenture is only to be purchased in part,
the Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to
this Section 13.1, such portion of a Debenture, 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
Debenture also apply to the purchase of such portion of such
Debenture.
Any purchase by the Company contemplated
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.1 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 Debenture.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Purchase Notice
contemplated by this Section 13.1 shall have the right to withdraw
such Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on
the third Business Day prior to the Purchase Date by delivery of a
written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with
Section 13.4.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the
Company in writing of the receipt by it of any Purchase Notice or
written notice of withdrawal thereof.
SECTION 13.2. Purchase of Debentures at Option
of the Holder upon Change of Control or Upon the Sale of Certain
Assets.
(a) If a Change of Control occurs, the Debentures
not previously purchased by the Company shall be purchased by the
Company, at the option of the Holder thereof, during the periods
and at a purchase price equal to the price payable at such time as
set forth in Section 2.02(f)(i) of this First Supplemental
Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (which, in this
context shall be the “Change of Control Purchase
Price”), as of the date that is 30 days after the date of a
notice of Change of Control delivered by the Company (the
“Change of Control Purchase Date”), subject to
satisfaction by or on behalf of the Holder of the requirements set
forth in Section 13.2(d).
A “Change of Control” will be deemed
to have occurred at such time after the Debentures are originally
issued when any of the following events shall occur:
(i) the acquisition by any person, including any
syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, of beneficial ownership,
directly or indirectly through a purchase, merger or other
acquisition transaction or series of purchase, merger or other
acquisition transactions, of shares of the Capital Stock of the
Company entitling that person to exercise 50% or more of the total
voting power of all shares of the Capital Stock of the Company
entitled to vote generally in elections of directors, other than
any acquisition by any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any
of its employee benefit plans; or
(ii) during any period of two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the
Board of Directors (together with any new directors whose election
by such Board of Directors or whose nomination for election by the
shareholders of the Company was approved pursuant to a vote of a
majority of the directors then still in office who were either
directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or
nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any
reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors then in
office; or
(iii) the Company consolidates or merges with or into
any other person, any merger of another person into the Company, or
any conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition of all
or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets
to another person, other than:
(A) any transaction: (1) that does not result in
any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of
outstanding shares of the Company’s Capital Stock; and (2)
pursuant to which holders of the Company’s
