occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the
right to receive additional interest (“Additional
Interest”) on the relevant debentures in an amount equal to
0.25% of the principal amount of the Debentures. If the Company so
elects, Additional Interest shall be payable on all
10
outstanding Debentures on or before
the date on which such Event of Default first occurs. On the 181st
day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating
to the reporting obligations is not cured or waived prior to such
181st day), the Debentures will be subject to acceleration pursuant
to this Article Five. Any Additional Interest in respect of the
Debentures shall be payable in the same manner and on the same
dates as the stated interest payable on the Debentures, beginning
on the first Interest Payment Date following the date on which
Additional Interest begins to accrue on the Debentures. This
paragraph shall not affect the rights of Holders of Debentures in
the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default,
including their right to seek acceleration or specific performance.
In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest
in accordance with this paragraph, the Debentures shall be subject

pursuant to this paragraph, the Company must (i) notify all Holders
of Debentures and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election and

in such rules and regulations; provided that to the extent any such information, documents
and reports are filed by the Company electronically on the
Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System
(or any successor system), such information, documents and reports

require of the names and addresses of the registered Holders of
Debentures as of a date not more than fifteen (15) days (or such
other date as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to so
provide any such notices) prior to the time such information is
furnished, except that no such list need be furnished by the
Company to the Trustee so long as the Trustee is acting as the sole
Security Registrar.

current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to
the names and addresses of the Holders of Debentures contained in
the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 705(a)
hereof or maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Security

thereof, or reduce any amount payable upon redemption or repurchase
thereof, or impair the right of any Debentureholder to institute

other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, or
otherwise impair the right of a Holder to convert the Debentures

ARTICLE
IV
CONVERSION OF
DEBENTURES
Section
4.01. Right to
Convert .
(a) Subject to and upon compliance
with the provisions of this Indenture, the Holder of any Debenture
not previously redeemed or repurchased shall have the right, at
such Holder’s option, to convert the principal amount of the
Debenture, or any portion of such principal amount which is a
multiple of $1,000, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of
Common Stock (as such shares shall then be constituted), at the
Conversion Rate in effect at such time, at any time prior to the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Final Maturity Date by compliance with Section 4.02
hereof.
(b) A Debenture in respect of which a
Holder is electing to exercise its option to require repurchase
upon a Designated Event pursuant to Section 5.05(a) hereof or
repurchase pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof may be converted only if
such Holder withdraws its election in accordance with Section
5.05(b) or Section 5.08 hereof, respectively.
Section
4.02. Conversion
Procedures . To convert a
Debenture, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the
Conversion Notice or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice (a
“ Conversion
Notice ”) in the form
set forth on the reverse of the Debenture and deliver such notice,
which shall be irrevocable, to the Conversion Agent, (b) surrender
the Debenture to the Conversion Agent, (c) furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Security
Registrar or the Conversion Agent, (d) pay any transfer or similar
tax, if required, and (e) if required, pay funds equal to the
interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date. The date on
which the Holder satisfies all of the foregoing requirements is the
“ Conversion
Date .”
In the case of a Global Debenture,
Conversion Notices may be delivered and such Debentures may be
surrendered for conversion in accordance with the applicable
procedures of the Depositary as in effect from time to time. The
Person in whose name a Debenture that is tendered for conversion is
registered shall be deemed to be a shareholder of record at the
close of business on the applicable Conversion Date.
No payment or adjustment shall be made
for dividends on, or other distributions with respect to, any
Common Stock except as provided in this Article IV. On conversion
of a Debenture, except for conversion during the period from the
close of business on any Regular Record Date immediately preceding
any Interest Payment Date to the close of business on the Business
Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, in which case
the Holder on such Regular Record Date shall receive the interest
payable on such Interest Payment Date, that portion of accrued and
unpaid interest on the converted Debenture attributable to the
period from the most recent Interest Payment Date (or, if no
Interest Payment Date has occurred, from the date of original
issuance of the Debentures) through the Conversion Date shall not
be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed
to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of shares
of Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of
fractional shares) in exchange, and in satisfaction of the
Company’s obligation to pay, for the Debenture being
converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.
14
If a Holder converts more than one
Debenture at the same time, the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the aggregate
principal amount of Debentures converted.
Upon surrender of a Debenture that is
converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Debenture equal in
principal amount to the principal amount of the unconverted portion
of the Debenture surrendered.
Debentures or portions thereof
surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of
business on any Regular Record Date immediately preceding any
Interest Payment Date to the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date shall be
accompanied by payment to the Company or its order, in immediately
available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an
amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date
with respect to the principal amount of Debentures or portions
thereof being surrendered for conversion; provided that no such payment need be made (1) if the
Company has specified a Redemption Date that occurs during the
period from the close of business on a Regular Record Date to the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates,
(2) in connection with a conversion following the Regular Record
Date preceding the Final Maturity Date, (3) if the Company has
specified a Designated Event Repurchase Date during the period from
the close of business on a Regular Record Date to the close of
business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Interest
Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates or (4) if
any overdue interest exists on the Conversion Date with respect to
the Debentures converted, but only to the extent of such overdue
interest.
The Company shall deliver all
consideration due upon conversion of any Debenture on the third
Business Day following the Conversion Date applicable to such
Debenture; provided that if any calculation required in order to
determine the number of deliverable shares of Common Stock will not
be available to the Company on the Conversion Date, such delivery
shall be made on the third Business Day after which the relevant
data becomes available to the Company.
Section
4.03. Cash Payments in Lieu
of Fractional Shares . No
fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip certificates
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of
Debentures. If more than one Debenture shall be surrendered for
conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full
shares that shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on
the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures (or
specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so
surrendered. If any fractional share of Common Stock would be
issuable upon the conversion of any Debenture or Debentures, the
Company shall make an adjustment and payment therefor in cash at
the current market price thereof to the Holder of Debentures. For
purposes of this Section 4.03, the “ current market price ” of a share of Common Stock shall be the
Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day
immediately preceding the day on which the Debentures (or specified
portions thereof) are deemed to have been converted.
15
Section
4.04. Conversion
Rate . Each $1,000
principal amount of the Debentures shall be initially convertible
into 220.6288 shares of Common Stock (herein called the
“Conversion Rate”), subject to adjustment as provided
in this Article IV.
Section
4.05. Conversion Rate
Adjustment . The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time
to time by the Company as follows:
(a) If the Company issues Common Stock
as a dividend or distribution on Common Stock to all holders of
Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share
combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the
following formula:
CR1 = CR0 x OS1/OS0
where
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such
event;
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in
effect taking such event into account;
OS0 = the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event; and
OS1 = the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such event.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 4.05(a) shall become effective on the date that is
immediately after (x) the date fixed for the determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution or (y) the date on which such split or combination
becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution
that is the subject of this Section 4.05(a) is declared but not so
paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of
the date that is the earlier of the public announcement of
non-payment or the date the dividend was to be paid, to the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been declared.
(b) If the Company issues to all
holders of Common Stock any rights, warrants, options or other
securities entitling them for a period of not more than 45 days
after the date of issuance thereof to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock, or if the Company issues to all holders of
Common Stock securities convertible into Common Stock for a period
of not more than 45 days after the date of issuance thereof, in
either case at an exercise price per share of Common Stock or a
conversion price per share of Common Stock less than the Closing
Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day immediately
preceding the time of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion
Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0 x (OS0+X)/(OS0+Y)
16
where
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such
event;
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate taking
such event into account;
OS0 = the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event;
X = the total number of shares of
Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants, options,
other securities or convertible securities; and
Y = the number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to
exercise such rights, warrants, options, other securities or
convertible securities and (B) the average of the Closing Sale
Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days
prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the date of
announcement for the issuance of such rights, warrants, options,
other securities or convertible securities.
For purposes of this Section 4.05(b),
in determining whether any rights, warrants, options, other
securities or convertible securities entitle the holders to
subscribe for or purchase, or exercise a conversion right for,
Common Stock at less than the applicable Closing Sale Price of the
Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate exercise or
Conversion Price payable for such Common Stock, there shall be
taken into account any consideration received by the Company for
such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible
securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion
thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash,
to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. Any
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.05(b) shall become
effective on the date that is immediately after the date fixed for
the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights,
warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities. If
any right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security
that is the subject of this Section 4.05(b) is not exercised or
converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or
convertibility thereof, the new Conversion Rate shall be
readjusted, as of such expiration date, to the Conversion Rate that
would then be in effect if such right, warrant, option, other
security or convertible security had not been so issued.
(c) (i) If the Company distributes
capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or
property of the Company to all holders of Common Stock,
excluding:
(A) dividends, distributions, rights,
warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities
referred to in Section 4.05(a) or (b) above,
(B) dividends or distributions paid
exclusively in cash, and
(C) Spin-Offs,
17
then the Conversion Rate shall be
adjusted based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0 x SP0/(SP0-FMV)
where
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such
event;
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate taking
such event into account;
SP0 = the average of the Closing Sale
Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days
ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-dividend
Date for such distribution; and
FMV = the fair market value (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company)
of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property
distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock
on the Ex-dividend Date for such distribution.
An adjustment to the Conversion Rate
made pursuant to this Section 4.05(c)(i) shall be made successively
whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
on the Record Date for such distribution.
(ii) If the Company distributes to all
holders of Common Stock capital stock of any class or series, or
similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other
business unit of the Company (a “ Spin-Off ”), the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately before the close of business on the date fixed for
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
distribution shall be adjusted based on the following
formula:
CR1 = CR0 x (FMV0+MP0)/MP0
where
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such
event;
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate taking
such event into account;
FMV0 = the average of the Closing Sale
Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed
to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock
over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date
of the Spin-Off; and
MP0 = the average of the Closing Sale
Prices of the Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading
Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off.
18
An adjustment to the Conversion Rate
made pursuant to this Section 4.05(c)(ii) shall be made
successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall
become effective on the effective date of the Spin-Off.
If any dividend or distribution that
is the subject of this Section 4.05(c) is declared but not paid or
made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been declared.
(d) If the Company pays or makes any
dividend or distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all
holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted
based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0 x (SP0)/(SP0-C)
where
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such
event;
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate taking
such event into account;
SP0 = the average of the Closing Sale
Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days
ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-dividend
Date for such distribution;
C = the amount in cash per share of
Common Stock that the Company distributes to holders of Common
Stock.
An adjustment to the Conversion Rate
made pursuant to this Section 4.05(d) shall become effective on the
Ex-dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend
or distribution that is the subject of this Section 4.05(d) is
declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be
readjusted, as of the date that is the earlier of the public

paid, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such
dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(e) If the Company or any of its
subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or
exchange offer for Common Stock to the extent that the cash and
value of any other consideration included in the payment per share
of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock
on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders
or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer
(the “Expiration Time”), the Conversion Rate shall be
adjusted based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0 x (AC + (SP1 x OS1))/(SP1 x
OS0)
where

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such
event;
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate taking
such event into account;
AC = the aggregate value of all cash
and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company) paid or payable for Common Stock
purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
OS0 = the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or
exchange offer expires;
OS1 = the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such tender or exchange offer
expires (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares
pursuant to such tender or exchange offer); and
SP1 = the average of the Closing Sale
Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days
commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender
or exchange offer expires.
If the application of the foregoing
formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no
adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made.
Any adjustment to the Conversion Rate
made pursuant to this Section 4.05(e) shall become effective upon
the expiration of such tender or exchange offer. If the Company or
one of its subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock
pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but the Company or
the relevant subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law
from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are
rescinded, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the
Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange
offer had not been made.
(f) If the Company has in effect a
rights plan while any Debentures remain outstanding, Holders shall
