SECTION 2.03.
The Trustee Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent .
The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained in such
locations as it shall determine, which may be the Corporate Trust
Office, an office or agency: (i) where securities may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“
Registrar ”); (ii) where Notes may be presented
for payment (“ Paying Agent ”); (iii) an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for conversion (the
“ Conversion Agent ”); and (iv) where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of Notes and
this Indenture may be served by the Holders. The Registrar shall
keep a Register (“ Register ”) of the Notes and

co-registrars, one or more additional paying agents and one or more
additional conversion agents. The term “Paying Agent”
includes any additional paying agent and the term “Conversion
Agent” includes any additional Conversion Agent. The Company
may change any Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent or
co-registrar without prior notice. The Company shall notify the
Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this
Indenture and shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with
any Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or co-registrar not a
party to this Indenture. Such agency agreement shall implement the
provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent (including
any applicable terms of the TIA). The Company or any of its
subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent
or co-registrar, except that for purposes of Article VIII and
Section 4.06, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
shall act as Paying Agent. If the Company fails to appoint or
maintain another entity as Registrar, or Paying Agent or Conversion
Agent, the Trustee shall act as such, and the Trustee shall
initially act as such. The Company initially
14
designates the
Borough of Manhattan office of the Trustee as one such office or
agency of the Company required by this Section 2.03 and
appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for
service of demands and notices in connection with the Notes and
this Indenture until such time as another Person is appointed as
such.
SECTION 2.04.

require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee, who hereby so
agrees), to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in
trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held
by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal or interest on the
Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in
respect of making any such payment. While any such default
continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a
Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon
payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the
Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further
liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a
separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders of all money
held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law with respect to the Company or any of its
Affiliates, if the Company or such Affiliate is then acting as
Paying Agent, the Trustee shall replace the Company or such
Affiliate as Paying Agent.
SECTION 2.05.
Holder Lists . The Trustee shall preserve in as current a
form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to
it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply
with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar,
the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business
Days before each Interest Payment Date, and as the Trustee may
request in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt by
the Company of any such request (or such lesser time as the Trustee

not register any transfer of a Restricted Note or an Affiliate Note
not made in accordance with the restrictions on transfer set forth
in Sections 2.06 and 2.07.

All Notes issued
upon any transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with this
Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing

Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange.
(b) Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security
remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depositary,
transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, or of any
beneficial interest therein, shall only be made in accordance with
this Section 2.07(b), Section 2.11 and the Applicable
Procedures; provided , however , that beneficial
interests in a Global Security that is a Restricted Note may be
transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in such Global Security in accordance with the
transfer restrictions set forth in the Restricted Securities

Section 2.11, transfers of a Global Security shall be limited
to transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to

Global Security deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee
as custodian for the Depositary wishes at any time to transfer its
interest in such Global Security to a Person who is required to
take delivery thereof in the form of a definitive registered note
(such Note, a “ Definitive Security ”), such
owner may, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein
and such Global Security and the Applicable Procedures, cause the
exchange of such interest for one or more Definitive Securities of
any authorized denomination or denominations and of the same
aggregate principal amount. Upon receipt by the Registrar of
(1) instructions from the Depositary directing the Trustee to
authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Securities of the
same aggregate principal amount as the beneficial interest in the
Global Security to be exchanged (such instructions to contain
the
16
name or names
of the designated transferee or transferees, the authorized
denomination or denominations of the Definitive Securities to be so
issued and appropriate delivery instructions), and (2) in the
case of a Restricted Note, such certifications or other information
and, in the case of transfers pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, legal opinions as the Company may reasonably
require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Registrar
will instruct the Depositary to reduce or cause to be reduced such
Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial
interest therein to be exchanged and to debit or cause to be
debited from the account of the Person making such transfer the
beneficial interest in the Global Security that is being
transferred, and concurrently with such reduction and debit the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, one or more Definitive Securities of the same aggregate
principal amount in accordance with the instructions referred to
above.
(ii) Definitive Security to
Definitive Security. If a Holder of a Definitive Security
wishes at any time to transfer such Definitive Security (or portion
thereof) to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in
the form of a Definitive Security, such Holder may, subject to the
restrictions on transfer set forth herein and in such Definitive
Security, cause the transfer of such Definitive Security (or any
portion thereof in a principal amount equal to an authorized
denomination) to such transferee. Upon receipt by the Registrar of
(1) such Definitive Security, duly endorsed as provided
herein, (2) instructions from such Holder directing the
Trustee to authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive
Securities of the same aggregate principal amount as the Definitive
Security, or portion thereof, to be transferred (such instructions
to contain the name or names of the designated transferee or
transferees, the authorized denomination or denominations of the
Definitive Securities to be so issued and appropriate delivery
instructions), and (3) in the case of a Restricted Note or an
Affiliate Note, such certifications or other information
(including, in the case of a transfer of an Affiliate Note from an
Affiliated Entity to another Affiliated Entity, a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) and, in the
case of transfers to persons pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, legal opinions as the Company may reasonably
require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the
Registrar, shall cancel or cause to be canceled such Definitive
Security and concurrently therewith, the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Definitive
Securities in the appropriate aggregate principal amount, in
accordance with the instructions referred to above and, if only a
portion of a Definitive Security is transferred as aforesaid,
concurrently therewith the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the transferor a Definitive
Security in a principal amount equal to the principal amount which
has not been transferred. A Holder of a Definitive Security may at
any time exchange such Definitive Security for one or more
Definitive Securities of other authorized denominations and in the
same aggregate principal amount and registered in the same name by
delivering such Definitive Security, duly endorsed as provided
herein, to the Trustee together with instructions directing the
Trustee to authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive
Securities in the same aggregate principal amount and registered in
the same name as the Definitive Security to
17
be exchanged,
and the Registrar thereupon shall cancel or caused to be canceled
such Definitive Security and concurrently therewith the Company
shall execute and Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or
more Definitive Securities in the same aggregate principal amount
and registered in the same name as the Definitive Security being
exchanged.
(iii) Definitive Security
to Global Security . If a Holder of a Definitive Security
wishes at any time to transfer such Definitive Security (or portion
thereof) to a Person who is not required to take delivery thereof
in the form of a Definitive Security, such Holder shall, subject to
the restrictions on transfer set forth herein and in such
Definitive Security and the rules of the Depositary cause the
exchange of such Definitive Security for a beneficial interest in
the Global Security. Upon receipt by the Registrar of (1) such
Definitive Security, duly endorsed as provided herein,
(2) instructions from such Holder directing the Trustee to
increase the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security
deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as custodian for
the Depositary by the same aggregate principal amount as the
Definitive Security to be exchanged, such instructions to contain
the name or names of a member of, or participant in, the Depositary
that is designated as the transferee, the account of such member or
participant and other appropriate delivery instructions,
(3) the assignment form on the back of the Definitive Security
completed in full, and (4) in the case of a Restricted Note or
an Affiliate Note, such certifications or other information and
legal opinions (which shall be required in the case of transfers of
any Affiliate Note by any Affiliated Entity pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act), as the Company may
reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to,
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the
Trustee shall cancel or cause to be canceled such Definitive
Security and concurrently therewith shall increase the aggregate
principal amount of the Global Security by the same aggregate
principal amount as the Definitive Security canceled;
provided , that in the case of any transfer of an Affiliate
Note to a Person taking delivery thereof as a beneficial interest
in a Global Security, any such transfer shall be made only pursuant
either (i) in a transaction complying with Rule 144 or
(ii) pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement,
such effectiveness to be certified by the Company to the Trustee or
(iii) to Persons who agree to be bound by the restrictions
applicable to such Holders for so long as such transferred
securities constitutes “restricted
securities.”
(c) So long
as and to the extent that the Non-Affiliate Notes are represented
by one or more Global Securities held by or on behalf of the
Depositary only, the Company may accomplish any delegending of such
Non-Affiliate Notes represented by such Global Securities at any
time on or after the Resale Restriction Delegending Date
by:

written notice to Holders of the Non-Affiliate Notes that the
Restricted Securities Legend has been removed or deemed

18
(iii) providing
written notice to the Trustee and the Depositary to change the
CUSIP number for the Non-Affiliate Notes to the applicable
unrestricted CUSIP number; and
(iv) complying
with any Applicable Procedures for delegending;
whereupon the
Restricted Securities Legend shall be deemed removed from any
Global Securities without further action on the part of
Holders.

Resale Restriction Delegending Date, the Company shall also
(i) instruct the transfer agent for the Common Stock to remove
the Restricted Stock Legend from any Common Stock issued upon
conversion of the Non-Affiliate Notes, (ii) notify the holders
of any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Non-Affiliate
Notes (to the extent any Common Stock has been issued upon
conversion of the Non-Affiliate Notes) that such Restricted Stock
Legend has been removed, (iii) if relevant, notify the
transfer agent for the Common Stock to change the CUSIP number for
the Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Non-Affiliate Notes
to the applicable unrestricted CUSIP number, and (iv) comply
with any Applicable Procedures for delegending any Common Stock
including the Restricted Stock Legend.

beneficial interests) for Notes (or beneficial interests in a
Global Security) not bearing a Restricted Securities
Legend.
(ii) Upon
the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes (or beneficial
interests in a Global Security) bearing a Restricted Securities
Legend at any time prior to the time the Company has provided

interests in a Global Security) bearing a Restricted Securities
Legend unless (i) such Notes (or beneficial interests) are
transferred pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement;
(ii) such Notes (or beneficial interests) are transferred
pursuant to Rule 144 upon delivery to the Registrar of a
certificate of the transferor in the form of Exhibit C
and an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar;
(iii) such Notes (or beneficial interests) are not Affiliate
Notes and are transferred, replaced or exchanged after the Resale
Restriction Delegending Date; or (iv) in connection with such
transfer, exchange or replacement the Registrar shall have received
an Opinion of Counsel, certificates and such other evidence
reasonably required by and satisfactory to it to the effect that
neither such Restricted Securities Legend nor the related
restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain
compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. The Company
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
promptly upon effectiveness, withdrawal or suspension of any shelf
registration statement that is or has previously been declared
effective with respect to the Notes.
19
(e) Any
transfer of Restricted Notes not described above (other than a
transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security that does
not involve an exchange of such interest for a Definitive Security
or a beneficial interest in another Global Security, which must be
effected in accordance with applicable law and the Applicable
Procedures, but is not subject to any procedure required by this
Indenture) shall be made only upon receipt by the Registrar of such
Opinions of Counsel, certificates and such other evidence
reasonably required by and satisfactory to it in order to ensure
compliance with the Securities Act, or as otherwise set forth in
this Indenture.
(f) Any
Non-Affiliate Note or Common Stock issued upon the conversion or
exchange of a Non-Affiliate Note that, prior to the date upon which
the Company instructs the Trustee to remove the Restricted
Securities Legend pursuant to Section 2.07(c) above, is
purchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof, may not
be resold by the Company or such Affiliate unless registered under
the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction
that results in such Non-Affiliate Note or Common Stock, as the
case may be, no longer being “restricted securities”
(as defined under Rule 144).
(g) Neither
the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any
actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. All notices and
communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be
made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only
to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the
Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Security). The
rights of beneficial owners in any Global Security shall be
exercised only through the Depositary subject to the Applicable
Procedures. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in
relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect
to its Agent Members and any beneficial owners.
(h) The
Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or
inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any
transfer of any interest in any Notes (including any transfers
between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in
any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation as is expressly required by,
and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this
Indenture and to examine the same to determine substantial
compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. The
Trustee shall have no obligations or duties to the holders of any
Common Stock issued pursuant to Article XII hereof.
SECTION 2.08.
Replacement Notes . If the Holder of a Note claims that the
Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note
if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the
Trustee or the Company as a condition of receiving a replacement
Note, such Holder shall provide a certificate of loss and an
indemnity and/or an indemnity bond sufficient, in the judgment of
both the Company and the Trustee, to fully protect the Company, the
Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss,
liability, cost or expense which any of them may suffer or incur if
the Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the
relevant Holder for their expenses in replacing any
Note.
20
The Trustee or any
authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note,
and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity
as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating
agent may require. Upon the issuance of any substituted Note, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any
Note which has matured or is about to mature, or has been submitted
for repurchase pursuant to Section 4.06 or is about to be
converted into Common Stock pursuant to Article XII, shall
become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may,
instead of issuing a substitute Note, 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 Note), 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 the
authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required
by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost
or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in
case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the
Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or
Conversion Agent of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and
of the ownership thereof.
Every replacement
Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be
entitled to all the benefits provided under this Indenture equally
and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued, authenticated
and delivered hereunder.
SECTION 2.09.
Outstanding Notes . The Notes outstanding at any time are
all the Notes properly authenticated by the Trustee except for
those canceled by the Trustee, those delivered to it for
cancellation, and those described in this Section as not
outstanding.
If a Note is
replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it shall cease to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.
If Notes are
considered paid under Section 4.01 or converted under
Article XII, they shall cease to be outstanding and interest
on them shall cease to accrue.
Subject to
Section 2.10 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding
because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the
Note.
SECTION 2.10.
When Treasury Notes Disregarded . In determining whether the
Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in
any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company shall be considered as though they are not
outstanding except that for the purposes of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver
or consent, only Notes which the Trustee knows are so owned shall
be so disregarded; provided , however , that this
Section 2.10 shall not apply to any Affiliate Notes
beneficially owned by an Affiliated Entity to the extent specified
in Article VI and Article IX of this Indenture; and
further provided that such proviso shall cease to
apply to such Affiliate Notes at any time after their transfer to a
beneficial owner that is not an Affiliated Entity (even if such
Notes are subsequently reacquired by an Affiliated Person), at
which time such Notes shall no longer be deemed to be Affiliate
Notes, but only to the extent of the Notes so
transferred.
21
SECTION 2.11.
Temporary Notes; Definitive Securities .
(a) Until
definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare
and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes
shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have
variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary
Notes and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without
unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary
Notes.
(b)
Definitive Securities .
(i) Except for
transfers made in accordance with Section 2.07(b), a Global
Security deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as
custodian for the Depositary pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be
transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of
Definitive Securities only if such transfer complies with
Section 2.07 and (x) the Depositary notifies the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such
Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a
“clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and
a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within
90 days of such notice, or (y) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or (z) the Company, in its
discretion, at any time determines not to have all of the Notes
represented by a Global Security.
(ii) In connection
with the exchange of an entire Global Security for Definitive
Securities pursuant to clause (x) of Section 2.11(b)(i),
such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon
Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to each
beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial
interest in such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal
amount of Definitive Securities of authorized denominations, and
the Registrar shall register such exchanges in the
Register.
(iii) In
connection with the exchange of an entire Global Security for
Definitive Securities pursuant to clause (y) of
Section 2.11(b)(i), if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions from
Agent Members on behalf the owner of a beneficial interest in a
Global Security directing the Registrar to exchange such beneficial
owner’s beneficial interest in such Global Security for
Definitive Securities, subject to and in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures, the Company shall promptly execute, and upon
Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery to such beneficial owner, Definitive Securities in a
principal amount equal to such beneficial interest in such Global
Security.
(iv) If
(A) an event described in Section 2.11(b)(i)(x) occurs
and Definitive Securities are not issued promptly to all beneficial
owners or (B) the Registrar receives from a beneficial owner
instructions to obtain Definitive Securities due to an event
described in Section 2.11(b)(i)(y) and Definitive Securities
are not issued promptly to any such beneficial owner, the Company
expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to
pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof, the right of
any beneficial owner of Notes to pursue such remedy with respect to
the portion of the Global Security
22
that represents
such beneficial owner’s Notes as if such Definitive
Securities had been issued.
(c) Any
Global Security or interest thereon that is transferable to the
beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Securities
shall, if held by the Depositary, be surrendered by the Depositary
to the Trustee, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global
Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of
authorized denominations in the form of certificated Notes in
definitive form. Any portion of a Global Security transferred
pursuant to this Section shall be executed, authenticated and
delivered only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof and registered in such names as the Depositary shall
direct.
(d) Prior to
any transfer pursuant to Section 2.11(b), the registered
Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise
authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may
hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a
Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the
Notes.
(e) The
Company will make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of
certificated Notes in definitive form without interest
coupons.

the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall
forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for
registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no
one else may cancel Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement, conversion, repurchase or
cancellation. Upon written instructions of the Company, the Trustee
shall destroy and dispose of canceled Notes as the Company directs
and, after such destruction, shall deliver a certificate of
destruction to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to
replace Notes that it has paid or repurchased or that have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has
(i) converted pursuant to Article XII hereof, or
(ii) submitted for repurchase pursuant to Section 4.06
hereof (unless revoked pursuant to Section 4.06).
SECTION 2.13.
Defaulted Interest . If the Company fails to make a payment
of interest on the Notes, it shall pay such defaulted interest
plus, to the extent lawful, any interest payable on the defaulted
interest. It may pay such defaulted interest, plus any such
interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of Notes on
a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix any such
special record date and payment date. At least 15 days before

CUSIP number for such Notes until such time as the Restricted
Securities Legend or Affiliate Security Legend, as the case may be,
is removed pursuant to Section 2.07(c) or 2.07(d). At such
time as the applicable restrictive legend is removed from such
Notes pursuant to Section 2.07(c) or (d), the Company will use
an unrestricted CUSIP number for such Note, but only with respect
to the Notes where so removed.
23
(b) The
Company, upon issuing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of
Restricted Notes or Affiliate Notes, will use a restricted CUSIP
number for such shares of Common Stock. With respect to such share
of Common Stock, until such time as the applicable Restricted Stock
Legend is removed pursuant to Section 2.07(c) or 2.07(d) from
such share of Common Stock, as the case may be, such restricted
CUSIP will be the CUSIP numbers for such share of Common Stock. At
such time as the applicable restrictive legend is removed from such
share of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.07(c) or (d), an
unrestricted CUSIP number for such share of Common Stock will be
deemed to be the CUSIP number therefor, but only with respect to
the shares where so removed.
SECTION 4.01.

and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided
in the Notes. Principal, interest or the Designated Event Payment

Affiliate of the Company) holds as of 10:00 a.m. New York City
time on that date immediately available funds designated for and
sufficient to pay all principal, interest and the Designated Event
Payment then due; provided , however , that money
held by the Agent for the benefit of holders of Senior Debt

Section 4.01.
To the extent
lawful, the Company shall pay interest (including post-petition

applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 4.10.
Increased Interest Rate .

Company has not cured such failure to timely file within
14 days of such failure and (iii) the Notes are not
otherwise freely tradable by Holders (other than Holders who are

following such failure to file and by 0.50% per annum after the

0.25% per annum for the first 90 days of such period and by
0.50% per annum after the first 90 days of the period until

Issue Date (or, if at that time the Company is a “well known
seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the
Securities Act, the 385th day after such date) file and maintain
effective a resale registration statement relating to the Notes and
the shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion thereof (the

provided that if the Company elects to file a Shelf
Registration Statement pursuant to clause (y) above, the
interest rate on such Notes will not increase following the 365th

Registration Statement has not become effective within the time
period specified in such clause (y).
(c) (i) In
the event the Company elects to file a Shelf Registration
Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously

obligation to pay additional interest pursuant to
Section 4.10(b), for a period not to exceed 45 calendar days
in any three-month period, or an aggregate of 90 calendar days in
any twelve-month period, if the Board of Directors of the Company
shall have determined in good faith that because of valid business
reasons (not including avoidance of the Company’s obligations
hereunder), including without limitation proposed or pending
corporate developments and similar events or because of filings
with the Commission, it is in the best interests of the Company to
suspend such use, and prior to suspending such use the Company
provides the Holders with written notice of such suspension, which
notice need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such
suspension. Each Holder shall keep confidential any communications
received by it from the Company regarding the suspension of the use
of the Shelf Registration Statement and prospectus forming a part
thereof, except as required by applicable law.
(iii) Subject to
the Company’s right to suspend the use of the Shelf
Registration Statement and the prospectus forming a part thereof as
set forth above, in the event that (A) the Shelf Registration

(B) the Holders of Non-Affiliate Notes are not authorized to
use the
29
Shelf
Registration Statement or the prospectus forming a part thereof or
(B) the Holders of Non-Affiliate Notes are otherwise prevented

Shelf Registration Statement (an “ Effective Failure

any three-month period, or for more than 90 days, whether or
not consecutive, during any twelve-month period, then the Company

been declared effective, commencing on the date of the Effective
Failure to but excluding the earlier of the date such Effective
Failure is cured, waived or otherwise ceases to exist and the last
day of the Effectiveness Period. The payment of additional interest
shall be the sole remedy of the Holders for any Effective Failure
or any other failure of the Company to comply with this
Section 4.10(c) and no such Effective Failure or other failure
shall constitute a Default or Event of Default.
(d) So long
as a condition described in either paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section 4.10 continues or the Company is
required to pay additional interest pursuant to paragraph
(c) of this Section 4.10, the Company shall pay such
additional interest in cash on April 15 and October 15 of

Company on such payment date and direct the Trustee (or, if the

of additional interest owed, or with respect to the method employed
in such calculation of additional interest.

then-outstanding Notes (a “ 50% Affiliated Holder
”), by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
declare the unpaid principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such

consequences of such acceleration, if all existing Events of
Default (other than nonpayment of principal of or interest on the
Notes which has become due solely by virtue of such acceleration)
have been cured or waived and if the rescission would not conflict
with any judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction.

0.50% per annum to but not including the 180th day following such
notice (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating

earlier, if the Event of Default relating to the reporting
obligations referred to in this Section 6.02(b) shall have
been cured or waived prior to such 180th day) and, if the Event of
Default is continuing on such 180th day, the Notes will be subject
to acceleration as provided in Section
|
