The Trustee does not have the duty to review such information, documents or reports, is not considered to have notice of the content of such information, documents or reports or any defaults or Events of Default discernable therefrom and does not have a duty to verify the accuracy of such information, documents or reports.
     (b) Delivery of such information, documents and reports to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

Fundamental Changes and Purchases Thereupon
     SECTION 3.01. Purchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to May 1, 2012, then each Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to purchase for cash any or all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, that is equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, on a date specified by the Company that is no earlier than the 20th calendar day following the date of, and no later than the 35th calendar day following the date of, delivery of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (as defined below) (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, including Additional Interest, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Price”); provided, however, that if a Fundamental Change Purchase Date is after a Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Record Date relates, the interest payable in respect of such Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of record as of the corresponding Record Date and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased pursuant to this Article 3. The requirement for the Company to purchase any Notes on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date will be subject to extension to comply with applicable law.
     Purchases of Notes under this Section 3.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
     (i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder, prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note as Exhibit C thereto; and
     (ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) (together with all necessary endorsements) at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date at the applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.01 only if the Notes so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.
     The Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be purchased shall state:
     (iii) if such Notes are Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of such Notes;

11


 

     (iv) the portion of the principal amount of such Notes, which must be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and
     (v) that such Notes are to be purchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture;
provided, however, that if such Notes are not in global form, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.01 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in accordance with Section 3.03 below.
     The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
     (b) Fundamental Change Company Notice. On or before the 20th calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of record of the Notes, the Trustee and Paying Agent (in the case of any Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the purchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. Such mailing shall be by first class mail or, in the case of any Global Notes, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary for providing notices. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the Company shall publish a notice containing the information included therein in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at such time.
     Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
     (i) the events causing a Fundamental Change;
     (ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;
     (iii) the last date on which a Holder of Notes may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Article 3;
     (iv) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;
     (v) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;

12


 

     (vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;
     (vii) if applicable, the applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate;
     (viii) if applicable, that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted into cash only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in accordance with the Indenture; and
     (ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to purchase their Notes.
     No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders of Notes purchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.01.
     (c) No Payment During Events of Default. There shall be no purchase of any Notes pursuant to this Section 3.01 if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date. The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Notes held by it during the continuance of an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes, in which case, upon such return, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
     SECTION 3.02. Effect of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. Upon receipt by the Trustee or Paying Agent of the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice specified in Section 3.01 hereof, the Holder of the Note in respect of which such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Purchase Price in cash with respect to such Note. Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, on the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the conditions in Section 3.01 hereof have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery of such Note to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.01 hereof.
     SECTION 3.03. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Company Notice at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, specifying:
     (i) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;

13


 

     (ii) if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Notes; and
     (iii) the principal amount of such Notes that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;
provided, however, that if Physical Notes have not been issued, the notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
     The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.03.
     SECTION 3.04. Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (local time in The City of New York) on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, of all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. If the Paying Agent holds cash sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Note for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Supplemental Indenture on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then as of such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, (a) such Note will cease to be outstanding and interest, including any Additional Interest, if any, will cease to accrue thereon (whether or not book-entry transfer of such Note is made or such Note is delivered to the Paying Agent) and (b) all other rights of the Holder in respect thereof will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.
     SECTION 3.05. Notes Purchased in Whole or in Part. Any Note that is to be purchased, whether in whole or in part, shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered that is not purchased. Any Notes that are purchased or owned by the Company whether or not in connection with a Fundamental Change shall be submitted to the Trustee for cancellation and shall be duly retired by the Company.
     SECTION 3.06. Covenant to Comply With Notes Laws Upon Purchase of Notes. In connection with any offer to purchase Notes under Section 3.01 hereof, the Company shall, in each case if required (i) comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules

14


 

under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable, (ii) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act and (iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 3.01 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 3.01.
     SECTION 3.07. Repayment to the Company. To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.04 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then, following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly return any such excess to the Company.
ARTICLE 4
Conversion
     SECTION 4.01. Right to Convert. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, each Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert the principal amount of any such Notes, or any portion of such principal amount that is $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, into cash at the applicable Conversion Rate then in effect, (x) prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 1, 2012, only upon satisfaction of one or more of the conditions described in clauses (i) through (iv) below and (y) on or after February 1, 2012, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding May 1, 2012 irrespective of the conditions described in clauses (i) through (iv) below:
     (i) Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 1, 2012, a Holder of Notes may surrender all or a portion of its Notes for conversion into cash during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) commencing after June 30, 2009 if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable Conversion Price in effect on each applicable Trading Day.
     (ii) Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 1, 2012, a Holder of Notes may surrender its Notes for conversion into cash during the five Business Day period after any 10 consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.01(a)(ii), for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate (the “Trading Price Condition”). The Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes in accordance with this Section 4.01(a)(ii) unless requested by the Company, and the Company shall

15


 

have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder of Notes provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate. Promptly (but in any event within two Business Days) after receiving such evidence, the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day after the Company has delivered such instructions and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate. If the Company does not so instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids when required, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes will be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate on each day the Company fails to do so. If the Trading Price Condition has been met, the Company shall so notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent. If, at any time after the Trading Price Condition has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate for such date, the Company shall so notify the holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent.
     (iii) If the Company elects to:
     (A) issue to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock certain rights or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or
     (B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock assets, debt securities or certain rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of announcement for such distribution,
then, in each case, the Company shall notify the Holders of the Notes, in the manner provided in Section 16.04 of the Base Indenture, at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender Notes for conversion into cash at any time until the earlier of the Close of Business, on the Business Day immediately prior to such Ex-Dividend Date and the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time.

16


 

     (iv) If a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs, regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase the Notes pursuant to Article 3 hereof, or if the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets, Holders may surrender Notes for conversion into cash at any time from and after the date that is the later of (i) 40 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction and (ii) the date the Company publicly announces such date until the date that is 45 Trading Days after the actual effective date of such transaction (or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date). The Company will publicly announce and shall notify Holders and the Trustee as promptly as practicable following the date the Company determines the anticipated effective date of such transaction. If a Holder converts its Notes prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the actual effective date of any transaction described in this Section 4.01(a)(iv) and the relevant Conversion Date occurs prior to February 1, 2012, irrespective of whether one or more other conditions to conversion described in Section 4.01 have been satisfied, such conversion will be deemed to have occurred pursuant to this Section 4.01(a)(iv).
     (b) Notes may not be converted into cash after the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding May 1, 2012.
     SECTION 4.02. Conversion Procedures. (a) Each Note shall be convertible into cash at the office of the Conversion Agent.
     (b) In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any interest in a Global Note, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary’s book-entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company, the Trustee or Conversion Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by Section 4.03(b) and, if required, pay all taxes or duties, if any. The Trustee or Conversion Agent must be informed of the conversion in accordance with customary practice of the Depositary. In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Physical Notes, the Holder of any such Notes to be converted, in whole or in part, shall:
     (i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided on the back of the Note (the “Conversion Notice”) or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice;
     (ii) deliver the Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Note to the Conversion Agent;
     (iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents,
     (iv) make any payment required under Section 4.03(b); and

17


 

     (v) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes.
The date on which the Holder satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above is the “Conversion Date.” The Trustee will, as promptly as possible, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, provide the Company with notice of any conversion by Holders of the Notes.
     (c) Each Conversion Notice shall state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. All such Notes surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Notes, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or his duly authorized attorney.
     (d) In case any Notes of a denomination greater than $2,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Notes so surrendered, without charge, new Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Notes.
     (e) Upon the conversion of an interest in Global Notes, the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company) shall make a notation on such Global Notes as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
     (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice exercising such Holder’s option to require the Company to purchase such Note may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with Article 3 hereof prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day prior to the relevant Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
     SECTION 4.03. Payments Upon Conversion. Except as set forth in Section 4.07(a), upon any conversion of any Note, on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, the Company shall pay cash to converting Holders, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, in an amount (the “Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 30 consecutive Trading Days during the applicable Observation Period for such Note.
     (a) Subject to Section 4.03(b) below, upon conversion, Holders shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest unless such conversion occurs between a Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which it relates.
     (b) Upon the conversion of any Notes, the Holder will not be entitled to receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, except to the extent specified below. The Company’s payment to the Holder of the full amount of cash into which a Note is convertible, will be deemed to satisfy in full the Company’s obligation to

18


 

pay the principal amount of the Notes so converted and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the Close of Business on a Record Date for the payment of interest, Holders of such Notes at the Close of Business on such Record Date will receive the full amount of interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from Close of Business on any Record Date to the Opening of Business, on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the full amount of interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment need be made (i) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the third Trading Day after the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (ii) for conversions following the Record Date immediately preceding May 1, 2012 or (iii) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.
     (c) Solely for purposes of determining the consideration due upon conversion under this Section 4.03, and notwithstanding the definition of “Trading Day” contained in Section 1.01, “Trading Day” means a day on which (i) there is no Market Disruption Event and (ii) trading in the Common Stock generally occurs on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, on the principal other United States national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, on the principal other market on which the Common Stock is then traded. If the Common Stock (or other security for which a Daily VWAP must be determined) is not so listed or traded, “Trading Day” means a Business Day.
     SECTION 4.04. Exchange in Lieu of Conversion.
     (a) When a Holder surrenders its Notes for conversion, the Company may, at its election (an “Exchange Election”), direct the Conversion Agent to surrender, on or prior to the second Business Day following the Conversion Date, such Notes to a financial institution designated by the Company (the “Designated Financial Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion, the Designated Financial Institution must agree to timely pay, in exchange for such Notes (together with such Holder’s Conversion Notice and, if required, appropriate endorsements and transfer documents), the cash that would otherwise be due upon conversion pursuant to Section 4.01 (the “Conversion Consideration”) and in respect of which the Company has notified converting Holders. If the Company makes an Exchange Election, the Company will, by the Close of Business on the Business Day following the relevant Conversion Date, notify the Holder surrendering its Notes for conversion that it has made such an Exchange Election and will notify the Designated Financial Institution of the relevant deadline for delivery of the Conversion Consideration.

19


 

     (b) Subject to the immediately following sentence, any Notes exchanged by the Designated Financial Institution will remain outstanding. If the Designated Financial Institution agrees to accept any Notes for exchange but does not timely deliver the cash due upon conversion, or if such Designated Financial Institution does not accept the Notes for exchange, the Company will deliver the cash due upon conversion as if the Company had not made an Exchange Election.
     (c) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the Company’s designation of a Designated Financial Institution pursuant to this Section 4.04 require the Designated Financial Institution to accept any Notes for exchange.
     SECTION 4.05. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company will not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of Notes participate, at the same time as holders of Common Stock and as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 4.04, at the same time as holders of the Common Stock participate, without having to convert their Notes as if such Holders held the full number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of the Conversion Rate and the applicable principal amount of such Holders’ Notes.
     (a) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, exclusively issues shares of its Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
     
CR1 = CR0 x  
OS1
 
OS0  
     where
  CR0    =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Opening of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Opening of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
 
  CR1    =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Opening of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date;
 
  OS0    =     the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date; and
 
  OS1    =     the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

20


 

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Opening of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date for such share split or share combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 4.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
     (b) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
     
CR1 = CR0 x  
OS0 + X
 
OS0 + Y  
     where
  CR0    =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Opening of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;
 
  CR1    =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Opening of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
 
  OS0    =     the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Opening of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
 
  X        =     the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and
 
  Y        =     the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights or warrants.
To the extent such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or termination, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. For the purposes of this Section 4.05(b), in determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to

21


 

subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, as shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
     (c) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while the Notes are outstanding, distributes shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, excluding:
     (i) dividends or distributions and rights or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 4.05(a) or Section 4.05(b);
     (ii) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 4.05(c) shall apply; and
     (iii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash;
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 Opening of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
 
  CR1  =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Opening of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
 
  SP0  =     the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
 
  FMV  =     the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Opening of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined

22


 

above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 4.05(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.05(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
     
CR1 = CR0 x  
FMV0 + MP0
 
MP0
 
     where
  CR0  =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period (as defined below);
 
  CR1  =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;
 
  FMV0  =     the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined for purposes of the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as if such Capital Stock or similar equity interest were the Common Stock) over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and
 
  MP0  =     the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the Valuation Period.
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph will occur immediately after the end of the Valuation Period; provided that in respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period, references above to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.
     For the purposes of this Section 4.04(c) (and subject in all respects to Section 4.11), rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”): (1) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (2) are not exercisable; and (3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.04(c), (and no

23


 

adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 4.04(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date of such deemed distribution (in which case the original rights or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders). In addition, in the event of any distribution or deemed distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, upon such final redemption or repurchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall readjusted as if such rights or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming each such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
     For the purposes of this Section 4.04(c) and subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 4.04, any dividend or distribution to which this Section 4.04(c) applies which also includes one or both of:
  (A)   a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 4.04(a) applies (the “Clause A Distribution”);
 
  (B)   a dividend or distribution of rights or warrants to which Section 4.04(b) applies (the “Clause B Distribution”),
then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 4.04(c) applies (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 4.04(c) with respect thereto shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 4.04(a) and Section 4.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except, if determined by the Company, (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior

24


 

to the Opening of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date” within the meaning of Section 4.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Opening of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 4.04(b).
     (d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend that does not exceed $0.04 (the “Initial Dividend Threshold”), 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 Opening of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
 
  CR1  =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Opening of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
 
  SP0  =     the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and
 
  C  =     the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock in excess of the Initial Dividend Threshold;
If the dividend or distribution is not a regular, quarterly cash dividend, the Initial Dividend Threshold will be deemed to be zero. The Initial Dividend Threshold shall be adjusted in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Conversion Rate; provided that no adjustment shall be made to the Initial Dividend Threshold for any adjustment made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 4.05(d).
In the case of an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.05(d), such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Opening of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the relevant dividend or distribution; provided that if such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of the Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, in lieu of the adjustment set forth above, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Notes shall have the right to receive on the date on which such cash dividend or distribution is distributed to holders of Common Stock, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such

25


 

Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
     (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 Last Reported Sale Price per share of 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 Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
     
CR1 = CR0 x  
AC + (SP1 x OS1)
 
OS0 x SP1
 
     where
  CR0  =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
 
  CR1  =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
 
  AC  =     the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares 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 the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
 
  SP1  =     the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.05(e) shall occur as of the Close of Business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion within 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the expiration date of

26


 

any tender or exchange offer, references with respect to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.
     (f) For purposes of this Section 4.05, “record date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).
     (g) The Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 Business Days, the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to this Section 4.05(g), the Company shall mail to Holders of record of the Notes a notice of the increase at least one day prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.
     (h) The Company may (but shall not be required to) make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 4.05(a), 4.05(b), 4.05(c), 4.05(d), 4.05(e) or 4.05(g), as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event treated as such for income tax purposes.
     (i) All calculations under this Article 4 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent (including, in the case of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the resulting adjustment to the Conversion Price) or to the nearest one ten-thousandth of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment shall be required to be made for the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 4.05 and in Section 4.11 hereof.
     (j) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the

27


 

adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder of the Notes. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
     (k) For purposes of this Section 4.05, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
     (l) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the application of the foregoing formulas set forth in this Section 4.05 would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made (other than as a result of a reverse share split or share combination) and other than in connection with adjustments and re-adjustments as a result of dividends or distributions having been declared but not paid or made, adjustments to reflect rights or warrants that are not exercised prior to their expiration or termination and adjustments with respect to the distribution or deemed distribution of rights or warrants, or any other Trigger Event or other event with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under Section 4.05(c) was made but which shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any Holders thereof).
     (m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 4, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made for:
     (i) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
     (ii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
     (iii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) above and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;
     (iv) a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
     (v) accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes.
     SECTION 4.06. Adjustments of Average Prices. Whenever a provision of this Supplemental Indenture requires the calculation of Last Reported Sale Prices or Daily VWAP over a span of multiple days, the Company will make appropriate adjustments to account for any

28


 

adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period from which such prices are to be calculated.
     SECTION 4.07. Adjustments Upon Certain Fundamental Changes. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under certain circumstances, pay a cash make-whole premium (a “Cash Make-Whole Premium”) by increasing the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the notice of conversion of the Notes is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (2) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change).
     (a) The amount by which the Conversion Rate is increased to reflect the Cash Make-Whole Premium in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change will be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid (or deemed paid) per share of the Company’s Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period, and including, ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. However, if the consideration for Common Stock in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change is comprised entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company’s obligation to convert the Notes into cash will be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and will be deemed to be an amount equal to the applicable Conversion Rate (including any increase to reflect the Cash Make-Whole Premium as described in this Section 4.07), multiplied by such Stock Price. In such event, the Company’s obligation to convert the Notes into cash will be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the third Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company will notify Holders of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date no later than 5 Business Days after such Effective date.
     (b) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Schedule A hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The

29


 

Conversion Rate adjustment amounts set forth in such table shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 4.05.
     (c) The table in Schedule A hereto sets forth the amount, if any, by which the applicable Conversion Rate will be increased for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth in the table.
     The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table in Schedule A, in which case:
     (i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the amount of the Conversion Rate adjustment shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the amount of the Conversion Rate adjustment set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;
     (ii) if the Stock Price is greater than $45.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the table in Schedule A pursuant to Section 4.06(b) above), no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made; and
     (iii) if the Stock Price is less than $10.61 per share (subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the table in Schedule A pursuant to Section 4.06(b) above), no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate exceed 94.2507 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 4.05.
     SECTION 4.08. Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. (a) If any of the following events occur:
     (i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Company’s Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination);
     (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company;
     (iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries; or
     (iv) any statutory share exchange;
in each case of clauses (i) — (iv) as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, exchanged for, or would be reclassified or changed into, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (a “Merger Event”), then at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with

30


 

the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing that at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, (i) upon conversion, the Settlement Amount will continue to be paid solely in cash; provided, however, (a) that the Daily VWAP will be calculated based on the value of a unit of the amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a Holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Merger Event (the “Reference Property”), and (b) for purposes of the foregoing, if the Merger Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election) (a “Mixed Consideration Transaction”), the “Reference Property” will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election, and (ii) the Initial Dividend Threshold will subject to adjustment as described in clause (x), clause (y) or clause (z) below, as the case may be.
(x) In the case of a Merger Event in which the Reference Property (determined, as appropriate, pursuant to the definition of Reference Property in a Mixed Consideration Transaction and excluding any dissenters’ appraisal rights) is composed entirely of shares of common stock (the “Merger Common Stock”), the Initial Dividend Threshold at and after the effective time of such Merger Event will be equal to (x) the Initial Dividend Threshold immediately prior to the effective time of such Merger Event, divided by (y) the number of shares of Merger Common Stock that a holder of one share of Common Stock would receive in such Merger Event (such quotient rounded down to the nearest cent).
(y) In the case of a Merger Event in which the Reference Property (determined, as appropriate, pursuant to the definition of Reference Property in a Mixed Consideration Transaction and excluding any dissenters’ appraisal rights) is composed in part of shares of Merger Common Stock, the Initial Dividend Threshold at and after the effective time of such Merger Event will be equal to (x) the Initial Dividend Threshold immediately prior to the effective time of such Merger Event, multiplied by (y) the Merger Valuation Percentage for such Merger Event (such quotient rounded down to nearest cent).
(z) For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Merger Event in which the Reference Property (determined, as appropriate, pursuant to the definition of Reference Property in a Mixed Consideration Transaction and excluding any dissenters’ appraisal rights) is composed entirely of consideration other than shares of common stock, the Initial Dividend Threshold at and after the effective time of such Merger Event will be equal to zero.
The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 4.08. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4 in the judgment of the Board of Directors or the board of directors of the successor Person. If, in the case of any such Merger Event, the Reference Property receivable thereupon by a holder of

31


 

Common Stock includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person.
     The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. If this Section 4.08 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 4.05 shall not apply.
     SECTION 4.09. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine or calculate the Conversion Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Notes; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to deliver cash upon the surrender of any Notes for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 4. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 4.08 relating to the amount of cash receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 4.08 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 11.06 of the Base Indenture, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine if a Supplemental Indenture must be entered into pursuant to Section 4.08.
     SECTION 4.10. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:
     (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.05; or
     (b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any

32


 

other rights or warrants that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.05 or Section 4.11 hereof; or
     (c) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries; or
     (d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Supplemental Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent and to be mailed to each Holder of Notes at such Holder’s address appearing on a list of Holders of Notes, which the Company shall provide to the Trustee, as promptly as practicable but in any event at least 10 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend (or any other distribution) or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend (or any other distribution), reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
     SECTION 4.11. Stockholder Rights Plan. To the extent that the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect prior to the time a Holder converts its Notes such rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of the Common Stock, shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights or warrants as described in Section 4.05(c) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

     (b) The “Event of Default” set forth in Section 7.01(a) of the Base Indenture shall be replaced with the following: “the failure of the Company to pay any installment of interest, including any Additional Interest and any Additional Amounts, on any Note when and as the same shall be come payable, which failure shall have continued unremedied for a period of 30 days.”
     (c) The “Event of Default” set forth in Section 7.01(b) of the Base Indenture shall be replaced with the following: “the failure of the Company to pay the principal of any Note, including any Additional Amount, when and as the same shall be come payable, at Stated Maturity, upon required repurchase in connection with a Fundamental Change, or upon acceleration as authorized by the Indenture.”
     (d) The “Event of Default” set forth in Section 7.01(g) of the Base Indenture shall be replaced with the following: “Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of at least $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount is accelerated which acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled after 30 days notice thereof.”
     SECTION 5.02. Additional Interest. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture to the contrary, if the Company so elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to any obligation to file reports with the Trustee as required by Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act or by Section 2.07 hereof or Section 10.02 of the Base Indenture shall, after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (“Additional Interest”) on the Notes at a rate equal to:
     (a) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the 60-day period beginning on, and including, the occurrence of such an Event of Default during which such Event of Default is continuing; and
     (b) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the 120-day period beginning on, and including, the 61st day following, and including, the occurrence of such an Event of Default during which such Event of Default is continuing;
     provided, however, that in no event shall such Additional Interest accrue at an annual rate in excess of 0.50% during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date which is six months after the last date of original issuance of the Notes for any failure to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or

35


 

15(d) of the Exchange Act (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than reports on Form 8-K).
     If the Company elects, Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes. 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 Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.02 of the Base Indenture. This Section 5.02 shall not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default unrelated to this Section 5.02. In the event that the Company does not elect to pay the Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 5.02, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.02 of the Base Indenture.
     In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with the reporting obligations, the Company must notify, in writing, all Holders of Notes and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 180-day period. Upon the Company’s failure to timely give such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.02 of the Base Indenture.
     Whenever in the Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of interest on, or in respect of, any Note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Interest provided for in this Section 5.02 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Interest is, was or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.02, and express mention of the payment of Additional Interest (if applicable) in any provision shall not be construed as excluding Additional Interest in those provisions where such express mention is not made.
ARTICLE 6
Satisfaction and Discharge
     SECTION 6.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of the Supplemental Indenture. The satisfaction and discharge provisions set forth in this Article 6 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede the entirety of Article XII of the Base Indenture, and all references in the Base Indenture to Article 8 thereof and satisfaction and discharge provisions therein, as the case may be, shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to be references to this Article 6 and the satisfaction and discharge provisions set forth in this Article 6, respectively. When the Company shall deliver to the Registrar for cancellation all Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore canceled, or all the Notes not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable (whether at Stated Maturity for the payment of the principal amount thereof, on any Fundamental Change Purchase Date or following the last day of the applicable Observation Period upon conversion or otherwise) and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, in trust,

36


 

or deliver to the Holders, as applicable, cash funds sufficient to pay all amounts due on all of such Notes (other than any Notes that shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and interest due, accompanied, except in the event the Notes are due and payable solely in cash at the Stated Maturity of the Notes or upon an earlier Fundamental Change Purchase Date, by a verification report as to the sufficiency of the deposited amount from an independent certified accountant or other financial professional reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which may include any of the Underwriters), and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Supplemental Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to rights hereunder of Holders of the Notes to receive all amounts owing upon the Notes and the other rights, duties and obligations of Holders of the Notes, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any, so deposited with the Trustee and the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder), and the Trustee, on written demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as required by Section 10.3 of the Base Indenture and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Supplemental Indenture; the Company, however, hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes.
     SECTION 6.02. Deposited Monies to Be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 6.04, all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.01 shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Holders of the Notes, and such monies shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company if acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the particular Notes for the payment or redemption of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest, if any.
     SECTION 6.03. Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all monies then held by any Paying Agent of the Notes (other than the Trustee) shall, upon written request of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies.
     SECTION 6.04. Return of Unclaimed Monies. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee for payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the Holders of the Notes for two years after the date upon which the principal of or interest, if any, on such Notes, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee on demand and all liability of the Trustee shall thereupon cease with respect to such monies; and the Holder of any of the Notes shall thereafter look only to the Company for any payment that such Holder of the Notes may be entitled to collect unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

37


 

     SECTION 6.05. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 6.02 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 6.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 6.02; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of interest on or principal of any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE 7

  (a)   make any change that adversely affects the conversion rights of any Notes; or

     SECTION 10.01. Additional Amounts. (a) All payments made by the Company, including any successor thereto, on the Notes shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (“Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law.
     (b) If, pursuant to Section 4.08, as a result of or following a merger or consolidation of the Company with, or a sale by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets to, an entity that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States (a “Change in Domicile”), any deduction or withholding is at any time required for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of:
     (i) any jurisdiction (other than the United States) from or through which the Company makes (or, as a result of the Company’s connection with such jurisdiction, is deemed to make) a payment or delivery on the Notes, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax; or
     (ii) any other jurisdiction (other than the United States) in which Company is organized or otherwise considered to be a resident or doing business for tax purposes, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (each of clauses (i) and (ii), a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”);
to be made in respect of any payment or delivery under the Notes, the Company shall pay (together with such payment or delivery) such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payment or delivery by each beneficial owner of the Notes after such withholding or deduction (including any such deduction or withholding from such Additional Amounts), shall equal the amount that would have been received in respect of such payment or delivery in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that Additional Amounts shall be payable only to the extent necessary so that the net amount received by the holder, after taking into account such withholding or deduction, equals the amount that would have been received by the holder in the absence of a Change in Domicile; provided, further, that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to:
     (i) any Taxes that would have been imposed absent a Change in Domicile;
     (ii) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over the relevant beneficial owner, if the relevant beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including the beneficial owner being a

40


 

citizen or resident or national of, or carrying on a business or maintaining a permanent establishment in, or being physically present in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) other than by the mere ownership or holding of such Note or enforcement of rights thereunder or the receipt of payments in respect thereof;
     (iii) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed if the beneficial owner had made a declaration of non-residence or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled (provided that (x) such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required by the applicable law of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from the requirement to deduct or withhold such Taxes and (y) at least 30 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required under the applicable law of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, the relevant beneficial owner at that time has been notified by mail to the addresses of such Holders as they appear in the Register by the Company or any other person through whom payment may be made that a declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required to be made);
     (iv) any Note presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the beneficial owner (except to the extent that the beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented during such 30 day period);
     (v) any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by withholding from a payment or delivery on the Notes;
     (vi) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
     (vii) any withholding or deduction imposed on a payment to an individual that is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/ EC on the taxation of savings or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November, 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such directive;
     (viii) any Taxes that could have been avoided by the presentation (where presentation is required) of the relevant Note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union; and
     (ix) where, had the beneficial owner of the Note been the holder of the Note, it would not have been entitled to payment of Additional Amounts by reason of any of clauses (i) to (viii) inclusive of this Section 10.01(b).
     (c) The Company shall (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with

41


 

applicable law. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and shall provide such certified copies to each holder. The Company shall attach to each certified copy a certificate stating (x) that the amount of withholding Taxes evidenced by the certified copy was paid in connection with payments in respect of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding and (y) the amount of such withholding Taxes paid per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Copies of such documentation shall be available for inspection during ordinary business hours at the office of the Trustee by the Holders of Notes upon request and shall be made available at the offices of the Paying Agent.
     (d) At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises shortly before or after the 30th day prior to such date, in which case it shall be promptly thereafter), if the Company shall be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts shall be payable, the amounts so payable and shall set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders of Notes on the payment date. Each such Officer’s Certificate may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee until receipt of a further Officer’s Certificate addressing such matters.
     (e) References in this Indenture or the Notes to the payment of principal, purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Notes, interest, or any other amount payable on or with respect to the Notes shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 10.01 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
     (f) The obligations provided for in this Section 10.01 shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor to the Company is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
          Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Note” or collectively, the “Notes”), issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of November 20, 2008, as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture dated May 19, 2009 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $230,000,000.
     This Note is not subject to the provisions of Article IV of the Base Indenture. The provisions in Article 6 of the Supplemental Indenture supersede the entirety of Article XII of the Base Indenture.
          Fundamental Change and Conversion. Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, a Holder of the Notes has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.
          As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, a Holder of a Note hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding May 1, 2012, to convert this Note or a portion thereof that is $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, into cash at the applicable Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.
          As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and the principal amount on the Stated Maturity thereof, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
          Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
          Amendment, Modification and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate

principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
          As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, in case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of and interest on all Notes may be declared due and payable, by either the Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture; provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture, the principal amount of, and interest on, all the Notes shall automatically become due and payable.
          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin and currency, herein prescribed.
          Denominations, Transfer and Exchange. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any different authorized denomination or denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
          As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Registrar accompanied by a written request for transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of any different authorized denomination or denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
          No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, and (subject to Section 3.08 of the Base Indenture) interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note be overdue, and
