          The purpose of this convertible note purchase and amendment agreement
(this “Agreement”) is to set forth the terms and conditions of (i) the purchase
(the “Purchase”) by Counterparty, and sale by Dealer, of Convertible Notes and
(ii) the amendment (the “Amendment”) of the confirmation dated as of June 12,
2006, Transaction Reference Number NY-22817, (the “Confirmation”), which
supplemented, formed part of and is subject to the Master Terms and Conditions
for Convertible Bond Hedging Transactions dated as of June 9, 2006 between
Counterparty and Dealer (together with the Confirmation, the “Bond Hedge
Documentation”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Bond Hedge Documentation.
          1. Convertible Notes Purchase. Dealer agrees to sell, and Counterparty
agrees to buy, 200,000 Convertible Notes (in denominations of USD1,000 principal
amount) at a price per Convertible Note of $994.50 (the “Per Note Purchase
Price”), plus accrued and unpaid interest of $2.02 on such Convertible Note
from, and including, June 15, 2010 to, but excluding, the Payment Date, for a
total payment of $199,304,166.67 (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”). The parties
acknowledge and agree that the Per Note Purchase Price with respect to each
Convertible Note of $994.50 equals (i) $1020.00, which represents the payment
from Counterparty to Dealer for such Convertible Note, minus (ii) $25.50, which
represents the amount of consideration for the Amendment. Closing of the
Purchase shall take place on September 22, 2010 (the “Payment Date”), on which
such date Counterparty shall pay to Dealer the Aggregate Purchase Price against
Dealer’s delivery of the number of Convertible Notes specified above.
          2. Amendment. The parties hereby acknowledge that the Company has
agreed on the date hereof to purchase 300,000 Convertible Notes from a third
party on the Payment Date (the “Additional Purchase”). Effective upon the
payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price and delivery of the number of
Convertible Notes specified in paragraph 1 above on the Payment Date, for the
purpose of maintaining the notional size of the Transaction to which the
Confirmation relates unchanged following the purchase contemplated hereby and
the Additional Purchase, the following terms of the Transaction to which the
Confirmation relates shall be amended, as follows:

                 
Number of Units:
    600,000          
 
               
Applicable Percentage:
    58.333%        

If the Additional Purchase is not consummated on the Payment Date, then,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the following terms of the Transaction to which
the Confirmation relates shall be amended, as follows:

                 
Number of Units:
    900,000
