(iii) any Securities surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any Security is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion. 
  

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar and duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, together with any
documentation required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(b).

connection therewith. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Indenture or the Securities (but subject to Section 2.2), transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, and exchanges of interests in Global Securities, and transfers or exchanges of other Securities as described in clause (2) below,

exchanged for a Security other than Global Securities, such Security may in turn be exchanged (on transfer or otherwise) for Securities that are not Global Securities or for beneficial interests in a Global Security (if any is then outstanding) only
in accordance with such procedures, which shall be substantially consistent with the provisions of clause (1) above and any rules and procedures of the Depositary (the “Applicable Procedures”), as may be from time to time adopted by the
Company and the Trustee.

such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 
  
 (2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or the Securities, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for
Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (A) the Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security or
(C) a request for certificates has been made upon the Trustee in accordance with the Depositary’s customary procedures and a copy of such notice has been received by the Company from the Trustee. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause
(A) above shall be so exchanged in whole or in part and any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (B) or (C) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Depositary. Any Security issued in exchange for a
Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global Security, provided that any Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security. 
  
 (3) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or
any portion thereof pursuant to clause (2) above shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged,
shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the
Trustee, as Security Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be 
  

 18 








 exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is
acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on
the records of the Trustee and the Security Registrar if the Trustee is not the Security Registrar. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery the Security issuable on such exchange to or
upon the written order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof. 
  
 (4) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (2) above, the Company will promptly make available to the
Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons. 
  
 (5) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent
Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security, or under any Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or Trustee from giving
effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act,
the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security. 
  
 (d) The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as
Depositary with respect to the Global Securities. Initially, the Global Securities shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as Custodian for Cede
& Co. 
  
 If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Security, the Company may appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security. If a successor Depositary for a Global Security is not
appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after the Company receives such notice, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate for the authentication and delivery of Securities, will authenticate
and deliver, Securities in certificated form, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for such Global Security and upon delivery of such Global Security to the Trustee such Global Security
shall be canceled. 
  

 19 








 Securities in certificated form issued in exchange for all or a part of a Global Security pursuant to
this Section 2.5 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication,
the Trustee shall deliver such Securities in certificated form to the Persons in whose names such Securities in certificated form are so registered. 
  
 At such time as all interests in a Global Security have been redeemed, converted, canceled, repurchased or transferred, such Security in global form shall
be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Security is exchanged
for Securities in certificated form, redeemed, converted, canceled, repurchased or transferred to a transferee who receives Securities in certificated form therefor or any Security in certificated form is exchanged or transferred for part of a
Global Security, the principal amount of such Global Security shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and a
notation shall be made on the records of Trustee, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase. 
  
 (e) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express
requirements hereof. 
  
 SECTION 2.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost
or Stolen Securities. 
  
 If any mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  
 If there be delivered to the Company and the Trustee 
  
 (1) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss
or theft of any Security, and 
  
 (2) such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, 
  
 then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and
upon request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  

 20 








 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and
payable, the Company in its discretion, but subject to any conversion rights, may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security, upon satisfaction of the condition set forth in the preceding paragraph. 
  
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed,
lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and such new Security shall be entitled to all
the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
  
 SECTION 2.7 [Reserved]. 
  
 SECTION 2.8 Persons
Deemed Owners. 
  
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of
the Company or the Trustee may treat the registered Holder of the Global Security as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Security be overdue, and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon, or any notice of previous loss or theft or other interest therein. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and
notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon, or any notice of previous loss or theft or other interest therein. 
  
 SECTION 2.9 Cancellation. 
  
 All securities surrendered for payment, redemption, repurchase, conversion, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Securities so delivered shall be canceled promptly by the Trustee, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as 
  

 21 








 expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Securities in
accordance with its then customary procedures and, after such disposal, if so requested by written instructions of the Company, shall deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such
acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  
 SECTION 2.10 [Reserved]. 
  
 SECTION 2.11 Temporary Securities. 
  
 Pending the preparation of Securities in certificated form, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent shall, upon written request
of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Securities (printed or lithographed). Temporary Securities shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Securities in certified form but with such
omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent
upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Securities in certificated form. Without unreasonable delay the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent Securities in
certified form (other than in the case of Securities in global form) and thereupon any or all temporary Securities (other than any such Securities in global form) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the
Company pursuant to Section 9.2 and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of Securities in certified form. Such exchange shall be made by
the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Securities in
certificated form authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  
 ARTICLE 3 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
  
 SECTION 3.1 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 
  
 This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of conversion, registration of
transfer or exchange or replacement of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

  
 (a) either 
  

 22 








 (1) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities
which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.6 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and
thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.3), have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
  
 (2) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (other than Securities referred to in clauses (i) and
(ii) of clause (a)(1) above) 
  

	 	(i)	have become due and payable, or 

  

	 	(ii)	will have become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 

  


	 	(iii)	are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense,
of the Company; 

  
 and the Company, in the case of clause (i), (ii)
or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds (immediately available to the Holders in the case of clause (i)) in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on
such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and premium, if any, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as
the case may be; 
  
 (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid
all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 
  
 (c) the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

  
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 5.7 shall survive and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a)(2) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 3.2 and the
last paragraph of Section 9.3 shall survive. 
  
 SECTION 3.2
Application of Trust Money. 
  
 Subject to the provisions
of the last paragraph of Section 9.3, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and premium, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

  

 23 








 All moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 (and held by it or any Paying Agent) for
the payment of Securities subsequently converted shall be returned to the Company upon Company Request. 
  
 ARTICLE 4 
 REMEDIES 
  
 SECTION 4.1 Events of Default. 
  
 “Event of Default”, where used herein, means any one of the
following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body): 
  
 (1)
there shall be a failure by the Company to pay when due the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Securities at the Stated Maturity, upon redemption or upon repurchase; or 
  
 (2) the Company shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the
Securities or this Indenture (other than those pursuant to clause (1) above) for a period of 60 consecutive days after written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee or
to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities; or 
  
 (3) if any default shall have occurred under any agreements, indentures or instruments under which the Company has outstanding
Indebtedness in excess of U.S. $25,000,000 in the aggregate (but excluding for purposes of this clause (3) any amounts owing under reimbursement or similar obligations to banks, sureties or other entities which have issued letters of credit, surety
bonds, performance bonds or other guarantees relating to the performance by the Company or its subsidiaries of contractual obligations to customers, to the extent any demands made under any such reimbursement or similar obligation relates to a draw
under the related letter of credit or other instrument which draw is being contested in good faith through appropriate proceedings) and, if not already matured in accordance with its terms, such Indebtedness (as set forth in this clause (3)) shall
have been accelerated, and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled within 30 days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities, provided, that if, prior to the entry of judgment in favor of the Trustee, such default under such indenture or instrument shall be remedied or cured by the Company, or waived by the holders of
such Indebtedness, then the Event of Default under this Indenture shall be deemed likewise to have been remedied, cured or waived; or 
  

 24 








 (4) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for
relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or
insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable United States federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or
any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or 
  
 (5) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case
or proceeding under any applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Company, or the filing by the Company
of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable United States federal or state law, or the consent by the Company to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or the taking possession by a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by the Company of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the
Company in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company expressly in furtherance of any such action. 
  
 SECTION 4.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
  
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(4) or 4.1(5) occurs and is
continuing, then automatically the principal of all the Securities thereon shall become immediately due and payable. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the Securities to be due and payable immediately at their principal amount by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such
declaration such principal amount shall become immediately due and payable. 
  
 At any time after an acceleration and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, 
  

 25 








 the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or such lesser amount as shall have acted at
a meeting pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if: 
  
 (a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
  
 (1) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Securities
which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and 
  
 (2) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and 
  
 (b) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of
Securities which have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 4.13; 
  
 provided, however, that in the event such declaration of acceleration has been made based on the existence of an Event of Default under Section 4.1(3) and
such Event of Default has, pursuant to the proviso to such Section 4.1(3), been remedied, cured or waived, then without any further action by the Holders such declaration of acceleration shall be rescinded automatically and the consequences of such
declaration shall be annulled. 
  
 No such rescission or annulment
shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 SECTION 4.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by the Trustee. 
  
 The Company covenants that if default is made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security at the Maturity thereof, the Company
will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable (as expressed therein or as a result of any acceleration effected pursuant to Section 4.2) on such Securities for
principal and premium, if any, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel. 
  
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts
forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may
enforce the same against the Company and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, wherever situated. 
  

 26 








 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
  
 SECTION 4.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company or the property of the Company or its creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
  
 (1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of
principal and premium, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders of Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
  
 (2) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and to distribute the same; 

 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator
or other similar official in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders
of Securities, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.7. 
  
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept, or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such proceeding. 
  
 SECTION 4.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 
  
 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the
payment of the reasonable 
  

 27 








 compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of
the Holders of the Securities in respect of which judgment has been recovered. 
  
 SECTION 4.6 Application of Money Collected. 
  
 Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article and, after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable by the Trustee in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture
shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or premium, if any, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment
if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
  
 FIRST: To the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustees) for all amounts due under Section 5.7; 
  
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and premium, if any, on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit
of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, respectively; and 
  
 THIRD: Any remaining amounts shall be repaid to the Company. 
  
 SECTION 4.7 Limitation on Suit. 
  
 No Holder of any Security shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
  
 (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 
  
 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
  
 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
  
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
  
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day
period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or such amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture); 
  

 28 








 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by
virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under
this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. 
  
 SECTION 4.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal or Premium, if any, and To Convert. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or exercise of a
Repurchase Right, on the Redemption Date) and to convert such Security in accordance with Article 12, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of
such Holder. 
  
 SECTION 4.9 Restoration of Rights and
Remedies. 
  
 If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security has
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the
Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
  
 SECTION 4.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 2.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 SECTION 4.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
  
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. 

  

 29 








 
Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may
be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities, as the case may be. 
  
 SECTION 4.12 Control by Holders of Securities. 
  
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or such lesser amount as shall have acted as a meeting pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture) shall have the right to
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that 
  
 (1) such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law
or with this Indenture or expose the Trustee to personal liability, or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders not joining therein, and 
  
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
  
 SECTION 4.13 Waiver of Past Default. 
  
 The Holders, either (a) through the written consent of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or (b) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities represented at such meeting, may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default (1) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security
or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 7 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security affected. 
  
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 SECTION 4.14 Undertaking for Costs. 
  
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any
court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders,

 THE TRUSTEE 
  
 SECTION 5.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
  
 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, 
  
 (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee;
and 
  
 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its
part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the
case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements to
this Indenture. 
  
 (b) In case an Event of Default actually known
to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
  
 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that 
  

 31 








 (1) this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph (a) of
this Section; 
  
 (2) the Trustee shall not be
liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
  
 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, determined as provided in Sections 1.1 and 1.3, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; and 
  
 (4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in
the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it. 
  
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so
provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
  
 SECTION 5.2 Notice of Defaults. 
  
 Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice pursuant to Section 5.3(8) hereof, the Trustee shall give notice to Holders pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided,
however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or in the payment of any redemption or repurchase obligation on any Security, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if
and so long as Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders; and provided further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 4.1(2), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would
become, an Event of Default. 
  
 SECTION 5.3 Certain Rights of
Trustee. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1:

  
 (1) the Trustee may rely and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, Company Request, Company Order, other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture,
note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
  

 32 








 (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
  
 (3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 
  
 (4) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of
such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance hereon; 
  
 (5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Securities pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against
the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
  
 (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation
into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

  
 (7) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts
or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it
hereunder; 
  
 (8) the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default (as defined in Section 5.2) or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 4.1(1) so long as the Trustee is the Paying Agent) unless written notice thereof is received by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, including, from Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture; 
  

 33 








 (9) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; and 
  
 (10) the rights, protections and immunities afforded to the Trustee hereunder (including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified)
shall apply with equal force and effect to any Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent, Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent or Security Registrar acting hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 5.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 
  
 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except the Trustee’s and Authenticating Agent’s certificates
of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
  
 SECTION 5.5 May Hold Securities, Act as Trustee Under Other Indentures. 
  
 The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Transfer Agent, any Conversion Agent, the Security Registrar or any other agent of the
Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent,
Conversion Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 
  
 The
Trustee may become and act as trustee under other indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding in the same manner as if it were not Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 5.6 Money Held in Trust. 
  
 Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise expressly agreed with the Company. 
  
 SECTION 5.7 Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior
Claims. 
  
 The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the
Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Company covenants and agrees to pay
or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other Persons not regularly in its employ), except to the extent that any such expense, 

  

 34 








 
disbursement or advance is due to its negligence or willful misconduct. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of
Default specified in Section 4.1, the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law. The Company also
covenants to indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold such Persons harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by them, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder or the performance of the duties of the Trustee hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim of liability in the premises, except to
the extent that any such loss, liability or expense was due to the negligence or willful misconduct of such Persons. The obligations of the Company under this Section 5.7 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees
and agents and to pay or reimburse such Persons for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the earlier resignation or removal of the
Trustee or the termination of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a claim senior to that of the Securities and a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held
in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim and lien. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section 5.7 shall include any predecessor Trustee, but the
negligence or willful misconduct of any Trustee shall not affect the indemnification of any other Trustee hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 5.8 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; Conflicting Interests. 
  
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having (together with any Person directly or indirectly controlling the Trustee) a combined capital and surplus
of at least U.S. $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such Person publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
  
 If the Trustee shall have or acquire any conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, it shall either
eliminate such conflicting interest or resign to the extent, in the manner and with the effect, and subject to the conditions, provided in the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. For purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and
to the extent permitted thereby, the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities, shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest arising from its capacity as trustee in respect of the 1.50% Convertible Senior Debentures due
2005 issued under the Indenture dated as of November 22, 2000 or the Zero Yield Puttable 

  

 35 








 
Securities (ZYPSSM) due
May 15, 2023 issued under the indenture dated as of May 7, 2003 between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee. Nothing herein shall prevent the trustee from filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission the application referred
to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 SECTION 5.9 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
  
 (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.10. 
  
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by
Section 5.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

 
 (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or such lesser amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), delivered to the Trustee and the Company. 
  
 (d) If at any time: 
  
 (1) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 5.8
and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 
  
 (2) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver
of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
  
 then, in any such case (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (ii)
subject to Section 4.14, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 (e) If the
Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 5.10. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities (or such lesser amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the 

  

 36 








 
provisions of this Indenture) delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of
such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.10, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the
Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 5.10, the retiring Trustee and any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to the Holders of
Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.5. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
  
 SECTION 5.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
  
 Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the
retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nonetheless to the claim and lien provided for in Section 5.7. Upon request of any such
successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. 
  
 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be
eligible under this Article. 
  
 The fees, charges and expenses of
the retiring Trustee shall be paid upon the appointment of a successor Trustee hereunder. The retiring Trustee shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of a successor hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 5.11 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
  
 Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the Person trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall
have been authenticated, but not delivered, by 

  

 37 








 
the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the
Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
  
 SECTION 5.12 Authenticating Agent. 
  
 The Company may appoint an authenticating agent or agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee with respect to the Securities which shall be authorized to
act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption thereof or substitution pursuant to this Indenture. Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder and every reference herein to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication
shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent. Each authenticating agent shall at all times
be a bank or trust company authorized by law to act as an authenticating agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than U.S. $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by a duly constituted banking authority. If such
authenticating agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 5.12, the combined capital and surplus of such
authenticating agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 5.12, such authenticating agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 5.12. 
  
 The Company hereby appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Authenticating Agent. 
  
 Any Person into which an authenticating agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such authenticating agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an authenticating agent, shall continue to be an
authenticating agent, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 5.12, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the authenticating agent. 
  
 An authenticating agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Company may at any time terminate the agency of an authenticating agent by giving written notice thereof to such authenticating agent and to the Trustee. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or
upon such a termination, or in case at any time such authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.12, the Company may appoint a successor authenticating agent which shall be acceptable to the
Trustee. Any successor authenticating agent upon 

  

 38 








 
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as an authenticating agent. No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 5.12. 
  
 The Company agrees to pay to each authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 5.12. 
  
 If an authenticating agent is appointed with respect to the Securities
pursuant to this Section 5.12, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s certification of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form: 
  
 This is one of the Securities referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture:

transfer, or which leases, the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety shall be a Person organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and, if

however, that neither the Company nor any Significant Subsidiary shall be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge, levy, or claim if the amount, applicability or validity thereof shall
currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company or such Significant Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have set aside on its books reserves deemed by it adequate with respect thereto. 
  
 SECTION 9.7 Statement by Officers as to Default. 
  
 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, on or before October 1 in each year

year, commencing July 1, 2005 and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee information as to the names and addresses 
  

 49 








 of the Holders, and the Trustee shall preserve such information and similar information received by it in any other
capacity and afford to the Holders access to information so preserved by it, all to such extent, if any, and in such manner as shall be required by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that no such list need be furnished so long

Indenture Act must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and furnished to the Trustee) and transmit to the Holders, such other information, reports and other documents, if any, at such times and in such manner, as shall be required by
the Trust Indenture Act. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the listing of any of Securities on any securities exchange. Delivery of such reports, information and documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to the Trustee is for information purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute notice or 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 Officers’ Certificates).

constituting an exchange for purposes of Section 1001 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
  
 For purposes of this Section 9.12, “Exchanged ZYPS” means the Company’s Zero Yield Puttable Securities due May 15, 2023 issued pursuant to
the indenture dated as of May 7, 2003 between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee, that were exchanged by the holders thereof for the Initial Securities pursuant to the Company’s exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”)

 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
  
 SECTION 10.1 Right of Redemption. 
  
 At any time
on or after May 15, 2009, except for Securities that it is required to purchase pursuant to Section 11.1 or required to convert pursuant to Section 12.1, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities in whole at any time or in part from time
to time, on any date prior to the Stated Maturity of such Securities, upon notice as set forth in Section 10.4, at the Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities. 
  
 If the Company exercises its option to redeem the Securities pursuant to this
Section 10.1, a Holder may nevertheless exercise its right to have its Securities purchased pursuant to Section 11.1, if applicable, or to convert such Securities pursuant to Article 12 even if such Securities are not otherwise convertible at such
time, in each case, until the close of business on the day that is two Business Days immediately preceding the Redemption Date. 
  
 SECTION 10.2 Applicability of Article. 
  
 Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company or otherwise as permitted or required by any provision of the Securities or this Indenture, shall

 SECTION 10.4 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 
  
 If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the
Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by a method that complies with the requirements of any exchange on which the Securities are listed, or if the Securities are not listed on any exchange, on a pro rata
basis or by lot or in accordance with any other method as the Trustee may deem fair and appropriate. Such method of selection may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the
principal amount of Securities of a denomination larger than U.S. $1,000. 
  
 If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be
deemed to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection. 
  
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar in
writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities in registered form selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
  

 51 








 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the
redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

convert the principal of the Securities to be redeemed will terminate and the places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion, 
  
 (6) the place or places that the certificate required by Section 10.7 and Section 2.2 shall be delivered, and the form of such
certificate, 
  
 (7) the place or places where
such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and 
  
 (8) the CUSIP number assigned to the Securities, provided, however, that such notice may state that no representation is
made as to the correctness of such number, in which case none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any liability in respect of the use of any such number on such notice, and the redemption of such
Securities shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
  
 In case of a partial redemption, the notice given shall specify the last date on which exchanges or transfers of Securities may be made pursuant to Section 2.5, and shall specify the serial numbers of Securities and
the portions thereof called for redemption.

Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 9.3) an amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date other than any Securities called for
redemption on that date which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit. 
  
 If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall be paid to the Company on
Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. 
  
 SECTION 10.7 Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 
  
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified. Upon surrender of any such
Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price. 
  
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, and each Security shall remain convertible into cash and
shares of Common Stock, if any, pursuant to Article 12 until such Security shall have been so redeemed. 
  
 Upon presentation and surrender of any Security which is to be purchased in part only, upon its purchase, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities in authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of the Security not purchased.

office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose pursuant to Section 9.2 (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 the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of

is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of the Repurchase Price in any provision of this Indenture shall not be construed as excluding the Repurchase Price in those provisions of this Indenture when such express mention is
not made.

Securities shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such number. 
  
 No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any Holder’s right to exercise a Repurchase Right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Securities. 
  
 If any of the foregoing provisions are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall
govern. 
  

 55 








 (b) To exercise a Repurchase Right, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee on or before the close of
business on the Repurchase Date (i) written notice (a “Repurchase Event Purchase Notice”) to the Company (or agent designated by the Company for such purpose) of the Holder’s exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the
name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased, a statement that an election to exercise the Repurchase Right is being made thereby and (ii) the Securities with respect to which the Repurchase Right is being exercised,
duly endorsed for transfer to the Company. A Repurchase Event Purchase Notice may be withdrawn at any time prior to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date, by delivering written notice to that effect to the Trustee prior to the close of business on the
Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date. 
  
 (c) In the event a
Repurchase Right shall be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, promptly after the Repurchase Date, the Company shall pay or cause to be deposited with the Trustee or a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 9.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price in cash. 
  
 (d) If the Company fails to repurchase on the Repurchase Date any Securities (or portions thereof) as to which the Repurchase Right has been properly
exercised, then each such Security shall be convertible into cash and Common Stock, if any, in accordance with this Indenture until the principal of such Security shall have been paid or duly provided for. 
  
 (e) Any Security which is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered
to the Trustee (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 its attorney duly authorized in
writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge a new Security or Securities, containing identical terms and conditions, of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 
  

(f) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of
repurchase; and the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article. 
  
 ARTICLE 12 
 CONVERSION OF SECURITIES 
  
 SECTION 12.1
Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price. 
  
 (a) Subject
to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at the option of the Holder thereof, at any time prior to the close of business on the Stated Maturity Date of a Security, any Security or any portion of the principal amount thereof


  

 56 








 
which is U.S. $1,000 or an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into an amount of
cash and, if applicable, duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with Section 12.13: 
  
 (1) during any fiscal quarter, if the Closing Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days in the 30 consecutive Trading Day
period ending on the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter was more than 120% of the Conversion Price in effect on such thirtieth (30th) Trading Day (in the event that the Conversion Price on such thirtieth (30th) Trading Day is not the same as
the Conversion Price in effect for each of such thirty Trading Days, the Company shall make such adjustments as it, in its discretion, deems appropriate in determining whether the foregoing condition has been met); 
  
 (2) on or before May 15, 2018, during the five Business Day
period following any 10 consecutive Trading Day period in which the average Trading Price of the Securities for such 10 Trading Day period was less than 105% of the average Conversion Value of the Securities during the same period; 
  
 (3) at any time prior to the close of business on the day
that is two Business Days immediately preceding the Redemption Date, if such Security has been called for redemption pursuant to Article 10 hereof; 
  
 (4) during any period, following the date when the credit rating assigned to the Securities by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services
(or any successor thereto) (“Standard & Poor’s”) is lower than “B-” (or its successive equivalent) or upon the withdrawal or suspension of the rating assigned to the Securities by Standard & Poor’s at the
request of the Company; or 
  
 (5) as provided in
Section 12.1(b). 
  
 The Company shall determine on a daily basis
whether the Securities shall be convertible as a result of the occurrence of an event specified in clause (1) or clause (2) above and, if the Securities shall be so convertible, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Conversion Agent and the
Trustee written notice thereof. Whenever the Securities shall become convertible pursuant to Section 12.1, the Company or, at the Company’s request, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall notify the Holders of the
event triggering such convertibility in the manner provided in Section 1.5. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. 
  
 (b) In addition, in the event that: 
  
 (1) (A) the Company distributes to all holders of shares of
Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days of the record date for such distribution) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Closing Price of the Common Stock
on the date preceding the date of the announcement of such distribution, (B) the 

  

 57 








 
Company distributes to all holders of shares of Common Stock cash or other assets, debt securities or rights or warrants to purchase the Company’s
securities, where the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of such distribution per share of Common Stock exceeds 10% of the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of
declaration of such distribution or (C) a Change in Control occurs but the Holders do not have the right to require the Company to purchase their Securities as a result of such Change in Control, because of the provisions set forth in Section 11,
then, in each case, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time on and after the date that the Company gives notice to the Holders of such right, which shall be not less than 20 days prior to the Ex-Dividend Time for such
distribution, in the case of clause (A) or (B), or within 20 Business Days after the occurrence of the Change in Control, in the case of clause (C), until (1) the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Ex-Dividend Time or the date the Company announces that such distribution will not take place, in the case of clause (A) or (B), or (2) the earlier of 20 Business Days after the Company’s delivery of the Repurchase Event Notice or the date the
Company announces that the Change in Control will not take place, in the case of clause (C). 
  
 (2) the Company consolidates with or merges into another Person, or is a party to a binding share exchange pursuant to which the shares of
Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property and (A) such consolidation, merger or binding share exchange constitutes a transaction described in Section 12.1(b)(1), then a Holder may convert the Securities in accordance
with the provisions of Section 12.1(b)(1) or (B) in all other cases, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the date announced by the Company as the anticipated effective time
of such transaction until 15 days after the actual date of such transaction, provided, however, that at the effective time of a transaction described in the immediately preceding clause, the right to convert a Security into cash and
Common Stock, if any, will be changed into a right to convert a Security into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property which a Holder would have received if such Holder had converted such Security immediately prior to such
transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such transaction also constitutes a Change in Control, the Holders may exercise the right, if any, to require the Company to repurchase their Securities that may be triggered by a Change in Control
pursuant to Section 11. 
  
 (c) The “Conversion Price”
shall be initially equal to $17.9744 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment, in certain instances, as provided in Section 12.4. 
  
 (d) No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on, or other distributions with respect to, any Common Stock except as provided in this Article
12. 
  
 (e) A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered
a Repurchase Event Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with Section 11.3(b). 
  

 58 








 SECTION 12.2 Exercise of Conversion Privilege. 
  
 In order to exercise the conversion privilege, (i) the Holder of any Global
Security must transfer such Security by book-entry transfer to the Conversion Agent through the facilities of the Depositary and (ii) the Holder of any definitive Security to be converted shall surrender such Security duly endorsed or assigned to
the Company or in blank, at the office of any Conversion Agent (as specified and subject to the terms and limitations set forth in Section 9.2), accompanied by a duly signed conversion notice substantially in the form attached to the Security to the
Company at such Conversion Agent stating that the Holder elects to convert such Security or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted. 
  
 Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the
close of business on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to
receive the Common Stock, if any, issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time. “Conversion Date” means the date on which all of the foregoing requirements for
conversion have been satisfied. As promptly as practicable following the Cash Settlement Average Period, the Company shall cause to be issued, if applicable, and delivered to such Conversion Agent the cash deliverable and a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon conversion in an amount or amounts determined pursuant to Section 12.13, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 12.3.

  
 In the case of any Security which is converted in part only,
upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the
unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Securities. 
  
 SECTION 12.3 Fractions of Shares. 
  
 No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon any conversion of any Security or Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares, if any, which shall be
issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable
upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay cash in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest one 100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price of
the Common Stock as of the Trading Day before the Conversion Date. 
  

 59 








 SECTION 12.4 Adjustment of Conversion Price. 
  
 The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments, calculated by the
Company, from time to time as follows: 
  
 (a) In case the
Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close
of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction
to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 12.4(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again
be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 
  
 (b) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring
within forty-five (45) days after the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Closing Price on the date
preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date after such Record
Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered
would purchase at such Current Market Price (as defined in Section 12.4(g)), and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date plus the total number of additional
shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which
would then 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 Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining
whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of 

  

 60 








 
Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration if other than cash,
to be determined by the Board of Directors. 
  
 (c) In case the
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be
proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which
such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective. 
  
 (d) In case the Company shall,
by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.4(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other
assets (including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.4(b), (2) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash and (3) any capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a
merger or consolidation to which Section 12.11 applies) (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 12.4(d) called the “securities”) (unless the Company elects to reserve, whether in trust, escrow or otherwise, such securities for
distribution to the Holders upon conversion of the Securities so that any such Holder converting Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, to which such Holder is entitled, the amount
and kind of such securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had converted its Securities into cash and Common Stock, if any, immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) for such distribution of the
securities; provided, however, that any such securities in reserve at maturity or redemption may be disposed of at the discretion of the Company), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be
equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 12.4(g)) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the
portion of the securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record
Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on
the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of securities such Holder would have
received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) 

  

 61 








 
immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted
to be the Conversion Price would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.4(d) by reference to the actual
or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the “Reference Period”) used in computing the Current Market Price
pursuant to Section 12.4(g) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Holder.

  
 Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders
of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof 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
(“Trigger Event”), (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable, and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for
purposes of this Section 12.4(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the
occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the
foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and record date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant
without exercise by the holder thereof). 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
resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4(d), (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be
readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common
Stock with respect to such rights or warrant (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of
which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued. 
  
 For purposes of this Section 12.4(d) and Sections 12.4(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.4(d) is applicable that also
includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 12.4(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness,
assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which 

  

 62 








 
Section 12.4(b) applies (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 12.4(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be
made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 12.4(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution
shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution”, “Record Date
fixed for such determinations” and “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 12.4(a) and as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants”, “the Record Date fixed
for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and such “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 12.4(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not
be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 12.4(a). 
  
 (e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a
merger or consolidation to which Section 12.11 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 12.4(d)), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of
Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.4(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the
fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any
portion of the Common Stock concluded within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 12.4(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price
(determined as provided in Section 12.4(g)) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date,
the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be
equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of
which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date, provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of
the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash such Holder
would have received from such cash dividend or distribution had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion
Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Any cash 

  

 63 








 
distribution to all holders of Common Stock as to which the Company makes the election permitted by Section 12.4(l) and as to which the Company has complied
with the requirements of such Section shall be treated as not having been made for all purposes of this Section 12.4(e). 
  
 (f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer
(as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a
fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board
of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all
or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.4(f) has been made and (2) the aggregate amount of any
distributions to all holders of the Company’s Common Stock made exclusively in cash within twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 12.4(e) has been made, exceeds
10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 12.4(g)) as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be
adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time and the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the fair
market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the
Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) on the Expiration Time
and the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, such reduction (if any) to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the event
that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be
adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such tender offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 12.4(f) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made
for such tender offer under this 

  

 64 








 
Section 12.4(f). Any cash distribution to all holders of Common Stock as to which the Company has made the election permitted by Section 12.4(m) and as to
which the Company has complied with the requirements of such Section shall be treated as not having been made for all purposes of this Section 12.4(f). 
  
 (g) For purposes of this Section 12.4, the following terms shall have the meaning indicated: 
  
 (1) “Current Market Price” shall mean the average
of the daily Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in question; provided, however, that (A) if the “ex” date (as hereinafter defined) for any event
(other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 12.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs during such ten (10) consecutive Trading Days, the Closing Price
for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, (B) if
the “ex” date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 12.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs on or after the
“ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such
Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, and (C) if the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation is prior to
the day in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (A) or (B) of this proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on or after such “ex” date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any
cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of Section 12.4(d) or (f), whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution)
of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock or assets being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the day before such “ex” date. For purposes of any computation under Section
12.4(f), the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for such day and the next two succeeding Trading Days; provided, however, that if
the “ex” date for any event (other than the tender offer requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 12.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs on or after the Expiration Time for the
tender or exchange offer requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the
reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex” date, (A) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means
the first date on which the 

  

 65 








 
Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Price was obtained without the right to receive
such issuance or distribution, (B) when used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such
subdivision or combination becomes effective, and (C) when used with respect to any tender or exchange offer means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such
offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Price are called for pursuant to this Section 12.4, such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate
the intent of this Section 12.4 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 
  
 (2) “fair market value” shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm’s length
transaction. 
  
 (3) “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 stockholders 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). 
  
 (4)
“Trading Day” shall mean (x) if the applicable security is listed or admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange or another national security exchange, a day on which the New York Stock Exchange or another national security
exchange is open for business or (y) if the applicable security is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, a day on which trades may be made thereon or (z) if the applicable security is not so listed, admitted for trading or quoted, any day other than
a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 
  
 (h) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by Sections 12.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f), 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 stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event
treated as such for income tax purposes. 
  
 To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least twenty (20) days and the reduction is irrevocable during the period. Whenever the Conversion
Price is reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail 

  

 66 








 
to each Holder at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register a notice of the reduction at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date
the reduced Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the reduced Conversion Price and the period during which it will be in effect. 
  
 (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price;
provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 12.4(i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article 12 shall be
made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock. 
  
 (j) In any case in which this Section 12.4 provides that an adjustment shall
become effective immediately after a Record Date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) paying or issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the
additional cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the cash and Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such
adjustment and (ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 12.3. 
  
 (k) For purposes of this Section 12.4, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares 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. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the
Company. 
  
 (l) In lieu of making any adjustment to the
Conversion Price pursuant to Section 12.4(d) or (e), the Company may elect to reserve an amount of cash, evidence of indebtedness or other assets, including securities, for distribution to the Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of the
Securities so that any such Holder converting Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, and other items to which such Holder is entitled, the full amount of cash, evidence of
indebtedness or other assets which such holder would have received if such Holder had, immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution of cash, evidence of indebtedness or other assets, converted its Securities into cash and Common Stock,
if any, together with any interest accrued with respect to such amount, in accordance with this Section 12.4(l). The Company may make such election by providing an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee to such effect on or prior to the payment
date for any such distribution and depositing with the Trustee on or prior to such date an amount of cash, evidence of indebtedness or other assets equal to the aggregate amount the Holders of the Securities would have received if such Holders had,
immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution, converted all of the Securities into cash and Common Stock, if any. Any such funds so deposited by the Company with the Trustee shall be invested by the Trustee, at the written request of
the Company, in marketable 

  

 67 








 
obligations issued or fully guaranteed by the United States government with a maturity not more than three (3) months from the date of issuance. Upon
conversion of Securities by a Holder, the Holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to the cash and Common Stock, if any, issuable upon conversion, an amount of cash, evidence of indebtedness or other assets equal to the amount such Holder
would have received if such Holder had, immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution, converted its Security into cash and Common Stock, if any, along with such Holder’s pro rata share of any accrued interest earned as a
consequence of the investment of such funds. Promptly after making an election pursuant to this Section 12.4(l), the Company shall give or shall cause to be given notice to all Holders of such election, which notice shall state the amount of cash,
evidence of indebtedness or other assets per $1,000 principal amount of Securities such Holders shall be entitled to receive (excluding interest) upon conversion of the Securities as a consequence of the Company having made such election.

  
 SECTION 12.5 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Price.

  
 Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided:

  
 (1) the Company shall compute the adjusted
Conversion Price in accordance with Section 12.4 and shall prepare an Officers’ Certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which
such adjustment is based, and such Officers’ Certificate shall forthwith promptly be filed with the Trustee and with each Conversion Agent; and 
  
 (2) a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which
each adjustment becomes effective shall forthwith be required, and such notice shall be provided by the Company to all Holders in accordance with Section 1.5. 
  

Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to the validity, accuracy or sufficiency of any
such Officers’ Certificate, except to exhibit the same to any Holder of Securities desiring inspection thereof at its office during normal business hours. 
  

SECTION 12.6 Notice of Certain Corporate Action. 
  
 In case at any time after the date hereof: 
  
 (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its capital
surplus or the consolidated retained earnings of the Company and its Subsidiaries; or 
  
 (2) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or 
  

 68 








 (3) there shall occur any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than
a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or the conveyance, transfer or lease of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or 
  
 (4) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company. 
  
 then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of securities pursuant to Section 9.2, and shall cause to be
provided to all Holders in accordance with Section 1.5, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, 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, rights or
warrants are to be determined, or (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that
holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up. 
  
 SECTION 12.7 Company to Reserve Common
Stock. 
  
 The Company shall at all times use its best
efforts to reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Securities, the full number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock,
if any, then issuable upon the conversion of all Outstanding Securities. 
  
 SECTION 12.8 Taxes on Conversions. 
  
 Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes (other than taxes on income) and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock, if any, on
conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. A Holder delivering a Security for conversion shall be liable for and will be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of
Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or
duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid. 
  

 69 








 SECTION 12.9 Covenant as to Common Stock. 
  
 The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock, if any, which may be
issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable and, except as provided in Section 12.8, the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. 
  
 SECTION 12.10 Cancellation of Converted Securities. 
  
 All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee to
be canceled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.9. 
  
 SECTION 12.11 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. 
  
 If any of following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another Person as a result of which
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock or (iii) any sale or conveyance of the properties and assets of the Company as,
or substantially as, an entirety to any other Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then
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 the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if
such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that such Security shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) which such Holder would have been
entitled to receive upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance had such Securities been converted into cash and Common Stock, if any, immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, statutory
exchange, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of
which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“Non-Electing Share”), then for the purposes of this Section 12.11 the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, statutory
exchange, sale or conveyance for each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares). 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. If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable
thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a 

  

 70 








 
Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or
conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider
necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the Repurchase Rights set forth in Article 11 herein. 
  
 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 Security Register, within twenty (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
12.11 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 12.4 shall not apply. 
  
 SECTION 12.12 Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions. 
  
 The Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to either calculate the Conversion Price or determine whether any facts exist which may
require any adjustment of the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed herein, or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in
making the same and shall be protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate with respect to the same. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (of the kind or amount) of any
shares of Common Stock, or of any other securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Security; and neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent makes any representation with respect thereto. Neither
the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock or share certificates or other securities or property upon the
surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article. 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 12.11
relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable for Holders upon the conversion of their Securities after an any event referred to in such Section 12.11 or to any
adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1, 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 

  

 71 








 
any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event
contemplated by Section 12.1 has occurred which makes the Securities eligible for conversion until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and any Conversion Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating that such event has occurred, on which
Certificate the Trustee and any such Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee and any such Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event.

  
 SECTION 12.13 Payment Upon Conversion. 
  
 (a) The Company shall satisfy in cash its conversion obligation with respect
to the principal amount of any Securities converted pursuant to this Article 12, and satisfy the remaining amount, if any, in shares of Common Stock, as set forth in this Section 12.13. 
  
 (b) The amount of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, payable upon conversion will be computed as follows: 

 
 (1) a cash amount equal to the lesser of (A) the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be converted and (B) the Applicable Stock Price multiplied by the Conversion Rate then in effect multiplied by the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be converted divided by 1,000; and

  
 (2) if the amount determined pursuant to
Section 12.13(b)(1)(B) exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be converted, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (C) the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be converted divided by 1,000 and multiplied by (D) (i) the
Conversion Rate then in effect minus (ii) $1,000 divided by the Applicable Stock Price. 
  
 (c) The Company shall settle its obligation to deliver cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, arising from any conversion on the second Trading Day following the final Trading Day of the relevant Cash Settlement
Average Period. 
  
 (d) “Applicable Stock Price” means,
in respect of a Conversion Date, the average Closing Price of the Common Stock over the twenty Trading Day period (the “Cash Settlement Average Period”) beginning on the Trading Day following the Conversion Date; provided, however, that:

  
 (1) if the Conversion Date occurs during the
period beginning on the date the Company calls the Securities for redemption pursuant to Article 10 hereof and ending on the day that is two Business Days immediately preceding the Redemption Date, the Cash Settlement Average Period will end on the
second Trading Day preceding the Redemption Date; and 
  
 (2) if the Conversion Date occurs during the period beginning twenty-five Trading Days preceding the Stated Maturity Date and ending on the Stated Maturity Date, the Cash Settlement Average Period will end on the second Trading Day
preceding the Stated Maturity Date. 
  

 72 








 (e) For purposes of this Section 12.13 only, “Trading Day” shall mean a day on which the Common
Stock (A) is not suspended from trading on any national or regional securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market at the close of business and (B) has traded at least once on the national or regional securities exchange or
association or over-the-counter market that is the primary market for the trading of the Common Stock. 
  
 (f) The delivery by the Company to the Holder of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay
the principal amount of the Securities.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] 
  
 COMVERSE TECHNOLOGY, INC. 
  
 NEW ZERO YIELD PUTTABLE SECURITIES (ZYPSSM) DUE MAY 15, 2023 
  
 This Security is
one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its “New Zero Yield Puttable Securities (ZYPSSM) due May 15, 2023” (herein called the “Securities”), limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $420,000,000, issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of January 26, 2005 (herein called the
“Indenture”), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 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 there under of the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. The Securities are issuable in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,

at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate. 
  
 The Securities shall bear no interest. 
  
 Reference is made to Section 2.1 of the Indenture regarding the issuance of Additional Securities.

 4 








 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 Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding (or such lesser amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of
the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, 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 Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon 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 Security or such other Security.

authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will 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 may require payment of a sum sufficient to recover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
  
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof
for all purposes, whether or not this Security may be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 The Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without reference to such State’s conflict of laws principles.
