day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day.

Designated Event (and not withdrawn) or has been surrendered for
repurchase on a Repurchase Date (and not withdrawn) or is to be
converted into Common Stock shall become mutilated or be destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute
Debenture, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize
the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the
case of a mutilated Debenture), as the case may be, if the
applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the
Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating
agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold
each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense
caused by or in connection with such substitution, and, in every
case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also
furnish to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any paying
agent or conversion
8
agent evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such
Debenture and of the ownership thereof.”

hereof until such time as the Trustee or the paying agent is
permitted to apply all such money in accordance with
Section 402 hereof; provided that if the Company makes
any payment of interest on or principal of any Debenture following

Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment .
Section 502 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended, subject
to Section 3.01 hereof, and with respect to the Debentures
only, by inserting the following paragraphs after the first
paragraph thereof:
“Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent elected by the Company as provided in
this Section 502 hereof, the sole remedy for an Event of
Default relating to the failure of the Company to file any
documents or reports that the Company is required to file with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
and for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section
314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act or of Section 703 hereof,
shall for the first 180 days after the 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 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
to acceleration as otherwise provided for in this
Article Five. All references to interest herein include
Additional Interest if any is payable on the Debentures. To elect
to pay Additional Interest pursuant to this paragraph, the Company
must (i) notify all
10
Holders of
Debentures and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election and
(ii) pay Additional Interest on each Interest Payment Date as
of which any Additional Interest is accrued and unpaid, to the
Persons in whose names the Debentures are registered at the close
of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding such Interest
Payment Date.”
Section 3.07.
Reports by Company . Section 703 of the Base Indenture
is hereby amended, subject to Section 3.01 hereof, and with
respect to the Debentures only, by restating clause

such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by
rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company files with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or, if the Company is not required
to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of
such Sections, then it will file information, documents or reports,
if any, as required by the provisions of Section 314(a) of the
Trust Indenture Act with the Trustee, and it will also file with
the Commission information, documents or reports in accordance with
rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the

of a security listed and registered on a national securities
exchange as may be prescribed from time to time 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 shall be deemed delivered to the Trustee at
the time of the filing;”
Section 3.08.
Debentureholder Lists . Article Seven of the Base
Indenture is hereby amended, subject to Section 3.01 hereof
and, with respect to the Debentures only, by adding the following
Section 705:
“Section 705.
Debentureholder Lists .
(a) The Company
covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished

may reasonably request in order to enable it to timely provide any
notice to be provided by it hereunder), a list in such form as the
Trustee may reasonably 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
11
Company to the
Trustee so long as the Trustee is acting as the sole Security
Registrar.
(b) The Trustee
shall preserve, in as 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 Registrar or co-registrar in respect of
the Debentures, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list
furnished to it as provided in Section 705(a) hereof upon receipt
of a new list so furnished.
(c) The rights of
Debentureholders to communicate with other Holders of Debentures

Section 3.09.
Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders .
Section 902 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended, subject
to Section 3.01 hereof and, with respect to the Debentures
only, by deleting the first paragraph (including clauses (1),
(2) and (3) thereof) and replacing it with the
following:
“With the
consent (evidenced as provided in Section 104 hereof) of the
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Debentures at the time Outstanding, the Company, when
authorized by the resolutions of the Board of Directors, and the
Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental
indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders
of the Debentures; provided that no such supplemental
indenture shall change the fixed maturity of any Debenture, or
reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon,
or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce any amount
payable upon redemption or repurchase thereof, or impair the right
of any Debentureholder to institute suit for the payment thereof,
or make the principal thereof or interest thereon payable in any
coin or currency other than that provided in this Indenture or the
Debentures, or change the obligation of the Company to repurchase
any Debenture at the option of a Holder upon the happening of a
Designated Event in a manner adverse to the Holders of Debentures,
or change the obligation of the Company to repurchase any Debenture
on a Repurchase Date in a manner adverse to the Holders of
Debentures, or reduce the number of shares or the amount of any
other property receivable upon conversion of the Debentures,
including any Additional Shares, other than in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture, or otherwise impair the right of a Holder
to convert the Debentures into Common Stock, subject to the terms
set forth hereof, including Section 4.06 of the Fourth
Supplemental Indenture, or reduce the quorum or the voting
requirements under the Indenture, or modify any of the provisions
of this Section 902 or Section 513 hereof, each as
amended by this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, except to
12
increase any
such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this
Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the
Holder of each Debenture so affected, or change any obligation of
the Company to maintain an office or agency in the places and for
the purposes set forth in Section 1002 hereof, in each case,
without the consent of the Holder of each Debenture so
affected.
Upon the written
request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the resolutions of
the Board of Directors certified by its Secretary or Assistant
Secretary authorizing the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the
consent of Debentureholders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join
with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture
unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own
rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in
which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into such supplemental
indenture.”
Section 3.10.
Payment of Principal and Interest . Section 1001 of the
Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety,
subject to Section 3.01 hereof and, with respect to the
Debentures only, to read as follows:
“The Company
covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay or cause
to be paid the principal of (including the redemption price upon
redemption or the purchase price upon repurchase, in each case
pursuant to Article V of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture),
and interest, on each of the Debentures at the places, at the
respective times and in the manner provided in this Indenture and
in the 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.
13
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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Holder be
entitled to the benefit of a Conversion Rate Adjustment in respect
of Debentures surrendered for conversion if, by virtue of being
deemed the shareholder of record of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion pursuant to the foregoing sentence,
such Holder participates, as a result of being such shareholder of
record, in the transaction or event that would otherwise give rise
to such Conversion Rate Adjustment to the same extent and in the
same manner as holders of shares of Common Stock
generally.
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.
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
14
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.
Section 4.04.
Conversion Rate . Each $1,000 principal amount of the
Debentures shall be initially convertible into 204.6036 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:
15
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
at the opening of business 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)
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
16
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 at the opening of business 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 referred to in Section
4.05(d) below, and
then the
Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following
formula:
CR1 = CR0 x
SP0/(SP0-FMV)
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;
17
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
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.
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 as of the
opening of business on the day after the date fixed for
determination of holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive
such distribution in the Spin-Off. The Company shall not be
required to calculate the Conversion Rate Adjustment relating to
any Spin-Off until the third Business Day following the 10
consecutive Trading Day period referred to above.
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.
18
(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)
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 at the opening of business 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
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.
(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)
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;
19
OS0 = the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time
(the “ Expiration Time ”) such tender or
exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase or
exchange of shares pursuant to such tender or exchange
offer);
OS1 = the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the
Expiration Time (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)
