Section 1.2Compliance Certificates and Opinions.Upon any application or request by the Company to the
Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this
Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be required in connection with the initial issuance) stating that in the opinion of such
counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any

6

---

such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional
certificate or opinion need be furnished.

Every
certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:



Section 1.3Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.In any case where several matters are required to be
certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so
certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person
may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any
certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless
such officer actually knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion
of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care (but without having made an investigation specifically for the
purpose of rendering such opinion) should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where
any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they
may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Section 1.4Acts of Holders.(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in
person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee
and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the
Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject
to Section 5.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

7

---



(b)  The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a
notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where
such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient and in accordance with such
reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine.

(c)  The
ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

(d)  Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and
the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or
the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

(e)  The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote
or consent authorized or permitted under this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, those persons who were Holders of Securities at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those
persons, shall be entitled to take such action by vote or consent or to revoke any vote or consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No
action approved by such vote or consent shall be taken more than six months after such record date.

Section 1.5Conflict with Trust Indenture Act of 1939.This Indenture is subject to, and will be governed
by, the provisions of the TIA that are required to be a part of and govern indentures qualified under the TIA (regardless of whether or not this Indenture has been qualified thereunder). If any
provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the TIA that is required under the TIA to be part of and govern this Indenture, the TIA shall control. If any provision of this
Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA that may be so modified or excluded, such provision shall be deemed either to apply to this Indenture so modified or to be excluded, as the case
may be.

Section 1.6Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.The Article and Section headings herein and the
Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 1.7Separability Clause.In case any provision in this Indenture or in any Security shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 1.8Benefits of Indenture.Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied,
shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 1.9Legal Holidays.Subject to the next two succeeding sentences, if any specified date
(including a date for giving notice) on which action is to be taken under this Indenture is a Legal Holiday, the action shall be taken on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday. In any
case where an Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date coinciding with the Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date) of a Security
falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after
the Interest Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day, provided that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date will be the Business Day
immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. If the Stated Maturity, Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date of a Security would fall on a day that is not a Business
Day,

the required payment of interest, if any, and principal will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the Stated Maturity,
Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date to such next succeeding Business Day.

ARTICLE II        THE SECURITIES

Section 2.1Form and Dating.The Securities designated "Floating Rate Convertible Senior Debentures due
2033" of the Company shall be substantially in the form set forth in Annex A hereto, which is incorporated into and shall be deemed a part of this Indenture, with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed
thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers of the Company executing the Securities, as evidenced by
their execution of the Securities. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

All
of the Securities are initially being offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A (collectively,
"QIBs" or individually a "QIB") in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and shall be
issued initially in the form of one or more restricted Global Securities, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Securities represented thereby with the Trustee, at its Corporate
Trust Office, as custodian for the depositary, The Depository Trust Company (such depositary, or any successor thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the
"Depositary"), and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co., duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as
hereinafter provided.

Each
Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate Original Principal
Amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate Original Principal Amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or
increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions, purchases or conversions of such Securities. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the
Principal Amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Trustee.

Certificated
Securities shall be issued only under the limited circumstances provided in Sections 2.11(b) hereof.

Section 2.2Execution and Authentication.The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
any Officer. The signature of any of these Officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

Securities
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals
or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication of such Securities.

No
Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the
only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

9

---

The
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities for original issue in an aggregate Original Principal Amount of $350,000,000 (up to $400,000,000 if the Initial Purchasers exercise
their overallotment option pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated March 17, 2003 between the Company and the Initial Purchasers (the"Purchase
Agreement") upon a Company Order without any further action by the Company. The Securities shall be issued only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of
$1,000 of Original Principal Amount and any integral multiple thereof. The aggregate Original Principal Amount of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed the amount set forth in the first
sentence of this paragraph, except as provided in Section 2.6.

Section 2.3Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.The Company shall maintain an office or agency
where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar"), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
purchase or payment ("Paying Agent") and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion ("Conversion
Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars, one or more
additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent and the term Conversion Agent includes any additional conversion
agent.

The
Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or co-registrar (other than the Trustee). The agreement shall
implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to the duties of such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a
Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 5.6. The Company or any Subsidiary or
an Affiliate of either of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent or co-registrar.

The
Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Conversion Agent and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities.

Section 2.4Paying Agent to Hold Money and Securities in Trust.Except as otherwise provided herein, on
or prior to each due date of payments in respect of any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on the due date) or, if
applicable, Common Stock sufficient to make such payments when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall
hold in trust for the benefit of Holders and/or the Trustee all money and Common Stock held by the Paying Agent for the making of payments in respect of the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of
any default by the Company in making any such payment. At any time during the continuance of any such default, the Paying Agent shall, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the
Trustee all money and Common Stock so held in trust. If the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and Common Stock held by it as
Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money and Common Stock held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds and
Common Stock disbursed by it. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money or Common Stock.

Section 2.5Transfer and Exchange.(a) Subject to Section 2.11 hereof, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Security, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing,
at the office or agency of the Company designated as Registrar or co-registrar pursuant to Section 2.3, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate Original Principal Amount. The Company shall not
charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum

10

---

sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Securities from the Holder requesting such transfer or
exchange.

The
Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of Securities to be
redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or any Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn by the Holder
thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (except, in the case of Securities to be purchased in part, the portion thereof not to be purchased) or any Securities for a period of
15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed.

(b)  Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depositary, transfers of a
Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.11 and this Section 2.5(b). Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such
Global Security in whole, or in part, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or such successor's nominee.

(c)  Successive
registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on
the register for the Securities.

(d)  Any
Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the
delivery by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or exchange of Securities.

(e)  No
Registrar shall be required to make registrations of transfer or exchange of Securities during any periods designated in the text of the Securities or in this
Indenture as periods during which such registration of transfers and exchanges need not be made.

(f)    If
Securities are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities subject to restrictions on transfer and bearing the legends on the form of Security
attached hereto as Annex A setting forth such restrictions (collectively, the "Legend"), or if a request is made to remove the Legend on a Security, the
Securities so issued shall bear the Legend, or the Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Company and the Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which shall
include an Opinion of Counsel, as may be reasonably required by the Company and the Registrar, that neither the Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that
transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that such Securities are not "restricted" within the meaning of Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. Upon (i) provision of such satisfactory evidence or (ii) notification by the Company to the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Security pursuant to a
registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a Security that does not bear the Legend. If the
Legend is removed from the face of a Security and the Security is subsequently held by an Affiliate of the Company, the Legend shall be reinstated.

(g)  Nothing
in this Indenture or in the Securities shall prohibit the sale or other transfer of any Securities (including beneficial interests in Global Securities) to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which Securities shall thereupon be canceled in accordance with Section 2.9 of this Indenture.

Section 2.6Replacement Securities.If (a) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee,
or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security
or indemnity as may be required by them to save each 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 its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for

11

---

any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and Original Principal Amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In
case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the Company pursuant to Articles XII or
XIII hereof, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay or purchase such Security, as the case may be.

Upon
the issuance of any new Securities 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 mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall
be entitled to all 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 2.7Outstanding Securities; Determinations of Holders' Action.Securities outstanding at any time
are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.6 and those described in
this Section 2.7 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security;provided,
however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite Original Principal Amount of Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and
deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only
Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination
shall be considered in any such determination (including, without limitation, determinations made pursuant to Articles IV and VIII).

If
a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.6, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona
fide purchaser.

If
the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date, or on the Business Day following the Purchase Date or a Change in Control Purchase Date, or on Stated
Maturity, money or securities, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then immediately after such Redemption Date, Purchase Date, Change in Control Purchase Date or
Stated Maturity, as the case may be, such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) and principal on such Securities shall cease to accrue or
accrete, as the case may be; provided, that if such Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the
Trustee has been made.

If
a Security is converted in accordance with Article XI, then from and after the time of conversion on the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding and
interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) and principal shall cease to accrue or accrete, as the case may be, on such Security.

Section 2.8Temporary Securities.Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may
execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

If
temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary
Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3,
without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
like Original Principal Amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities.

Section 2.9Cancellation.All Securities surrendered for payment, purchase by the Company pursuant to
Articles XII and XIII, conversion, redemption or registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee who shall promptly cancel
them. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or
that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article XI. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

Section 2.10Persons Deemed Owners.Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment
of principal of the Security or the payment of any Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price in respect thereof, and interest thereon, for the purpose of conversion and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.11Global Securities.

(a)  Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with
Section 2.5 and this Section 2.11. A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no
such transfer to any such other such Person may be registered; provided that this clause (a) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is issued in
exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a Security to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture unless and until such Security has been registered
in the name of such Person.

(b)  Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, a Global Security shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Security registered in the
name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof, provided that a Global Security may be exchanged for Securities registered in the names of any person designated by the
Depositary in the event that (i) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as

Depositary for such Global Security or such Depositary has ceased to be a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within
90 days, (ii) the Company decides to discontinue the use of the system of book-entry transfer through the Depositary (or any successor Depositary) or (iii) an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (i) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global
Security exchanged pursuant to clause (iii) 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 such 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.

(c)  Securities
issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof (i) shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons,
(ii) shall have an aggregate Original Principal Amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof for which such Securities are to be so exchanged, (iii) shall be
registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and (iv) shall bear the applicable Legends provided for herein. Any Global Security to be
exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be 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 Original 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. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(d)  Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.11(f) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members (as
defined below) and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

(e)  In
the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.11(b) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable
supply of certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(f)    Neither
any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (collectively, the"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 registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such
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 or the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the 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.

Section 2.12Legends.

(a)  Subject
to the succeeding paragraph, every Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend including the delivery of a certification or
an Opinion of Counsel, if so requested by the Company or the Registrar.

14

---



(b)  The restrictions imposed by the Legend upon the transferability of any Security shall cease and terminate when such Security has been sold pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) or, if earlier, upon the expiration of
the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision). Any Security as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired
in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon a surrender of such Security for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12 (accompanied,
in the event that such restrictions on transfer have terminated by reason of a transfer in compliance with Rule 144 or any successor provision, by an opinion of counsel having substantial
experience in practice under the Securities Act and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Company, addressed to the Company and the Registrar and in form acceptable to the Company, to the effect that
the transfer of such Security has been made in compliance with Rule 144 or such successor provision), be exchanged for a new Security of like tenor and aggregate Original Principal Amount,
which Security shall not bear the restrictive Legend. The Company shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering the Securities under the Securities Act. The
Trustee and the Registrar shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned opinion of counsel or registration statement.

(c)  As
used in the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 2.12, the term "transfer" encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer, hypothecation or other disposition of
any Security.

Section 2.13Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.Interest on any Security which is payable,
and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 9.2;provided,
however,that each installment of interest on any Security may at the Company's option be paid by mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the
Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 15.3, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register.

Any
interest on any Security of which is payable but is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted
Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid
by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:



15

---



On
conversion of a Holder's Securities, such Holder shall not receive any cash payment of interest (unless Securities or portions thereof have been called for redemption on a Redemption
Date that occurs between a Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which it relates). The Company's delivery to a Holder of the full number of shares of Common Stock into which a Security
is convertible, together with any cash payment for such Holder's fractional shares, or cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock in lieu thereof, shall be deemed to satisfy the Company's
obligation to pay the Accreted Principal Amount of the Security and to satisfy the Company's obligation to pay accrued but unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) attributable to the
period from the most recent Interest Payment Date through the Conversion Date.

Notwithstanding
the above, if any Securities are converted after a Regular Record Date but prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, Holders of such Securities at the close of
business on such Regular Record Date shall receive the interest payable on such Securities on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Such Securities, upon surrender
for conversion, must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Accreted Principal Amount of the Securities so converted, unless such Securities have been called for
redemption on a Redemption
Date that occurs between a Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which it relates, in which case no such payment shall be required.

Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security
shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

Section 2.14CUSIP Numbers.The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to
the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on
the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Section 2.15Calculation of Tax Original Issue Discount.The Company agrees, and each Holder and any
beneficial owner of a Security by its purchase thereof shall be deemed to agree, to treat, for United States federal income tax purposes, the Securities as debt instruments that are subject to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-4(b). For United States federal income tax purposes, the Company agrees, and each Holder and any beneficial owner of a Security by its purchase
thereof shall be deemed to agree, to treat the fair market value of the Common Stock received upon the conversion of a Security, or upon the Holder's or beneficial owner's exercise of a put right
where the Company elects to pay in Common Stock, as a contingent payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-4(b) and to accrue interest with respect to outstanding
Securities as original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes (i.e., Tax Original Issue Discount) according to

16

---

the "noncontingent bond method," set forth in Section 1.1275-4(b) of the Treasury Regulations, using the comparable yield set forth in Annex B to this Indenture compounded
semiannually and the projected payment schedule attached as Annex B to this Indenture.

The
Company acknowledges and agrees, and each Holder and any beneficial owner of a Security by its purchase thereof shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree, that (i) the
comparable yield means the annual yield the Company would pay, as of the Issue Date, on a noncontingent, nonconvertible, fixed-rate debt instrument with terms and conditions otherwise
similar to those of the Securities, (ii) the schedule of projected payments is determined on the basis of an assumption of linear growth of the stock price and is not determined for any purpose
other than for the determination of interest accruals and adjustments thereof in respect of the Securities for United States federal income tax purposes and (iii) the comparable yield and the
schedule of projected payments do not constitute a projection or representation regarding the amounts payable on the Securities.

Section 2.16Mandatory Disposition of Securities Pursuant to Gaming Laws.Each Holder and beneficial
owner of Securities, by accepting or otherwise acquiring an interest in the Securities, shall be deemed
to have agreed that if the Gaming Authority of any jurisdiction in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any Joint Venture in which the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is a
participant) now or hereafter conducts or proposes to conduct gaming requires that a Person who is a Holder or beneficial owner of Securities must be registered, licensed, qualified or found suitable,
or comply with any other requirement under applicable Gaming Laws, such Holder or beneficial owner shall apply or register for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability or comply with such
other requirement, as the case may be, within the prescribed time period. The Trustee shall have no duty to conduct or perform any due diligence or investigation to determine whether any Holder must
comply with any applicable Gaming laws. If such Holder or beneficial owner fails to register or apply to be, or fails to become, licensed or qualified, is found unsuitable under applicable gaming laws
or fails to comply with any other requirement, as the case may be (a "failure of compliance"), then the Company shall have the right, at its option,
(i) to require such Person to dispose of its Securities or beneficial interest therein within 30 days of receipt of notice of the Company's election or such earlier date as may be
requested or prescribed by the Gaming Authority or (ii) to redeem such Securities (which redemption may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption if so requested or
prescribed by the Gaming Authority) at a redemption price equal to the lesser of (A) such Person's cost, (B) 100% of the Accreted Principal Amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the earlier of the Redemption Date and the date of any failure of compliance, or (C) such other amount as may be required by applicable law or by order of any Gaming
Authority. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any such redemption as soon as practicable. The Company and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses any such Holder
or beneficial owner may incur in connection with its registration or application for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability or its compliance with any other requirement of a Gaming
Authority. Immediately upon the imposition by a Gaming Authority of a requirement that a Holder or beneficial owner of Securities dispose of Securities, such Holder or beneficial owner shall, to the
extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, have no further right (i) to exercise, directly or indirectly, through any trustee, nominee or any other Person or entity, any right conferred by the
Securities or (ii) to receive any interest, dividends or any other distributions or payments with respect to the Securities or any remuneration in any form with respect to the Securities from
the Company or the Trustee, except the Redemption Price referred to in this Section 2.16.

ARTICLE III        SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 3.1Discharge of Liability on Securities.When (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee or
any Paying Agent all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.6 of

17

---

the Indenture) for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, any Redemption Date, any Purchase Date, a Change in Control Purchase
Date, or upon conversion or otherwise, and the Company deposits with the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, if applicable, cash or, if expressly permitted by the terms of the
Securities, Common Stock sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all outstanding Securities (other than Securities
replaced pursuant to Section 2.6), and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 5.6, cease to be
of further effect, except for the indemnification of the Trustee, which shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. The Trustee shall join in the execution of a document prepared by the Company
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel and at the reasonable cost and expense of the
Company.

Section 3.2Repayment of Moneys Held by Trustee or Paying Agent.Any moneys deposited with the Trustee or
any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the Holders for two years after the date upon which the principal of or
interest on such Security shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee or such Paying Agent on demand, and the Holder of any of the Securities entitled to receive
such payment shall thereafter look only to the Company for the payment thereof and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease.

ARTICLE IV        REMEDIES

Section 4.1Events of Default."Event of Default,"
wherever used herein with respect to the Securities, shall mean any one of the following events:



18

---



A
Default under clauses (c), (d) or (e) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or Holder notifies the Company and the Trustee, of the
Default and the Company does not cure such Default (and such Default is not waived) within the time specified in clauses (c), (d) or (e) above after actual receipt of such notice. Any
such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a "Notice of Default".

The
Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after it becomes aware of the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse
of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under clause (c) or clause (e) above, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.2Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.If an Event of Default (other than an
Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(g) or (h)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the
Securities
at the time outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the Accreted Principal Amount of the Securities as of the date of such declaration, and any accrued and unpaid interest
(including Contingent Interest, if any) through the date of such declaration, on all the Securities to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such Accreted Principal Amount and such
accrued and unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(g) or (h) occurs and is
continuing,

19

---

the Accreted Principal Amount and any accrued and unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) on all the Securities through the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default shall
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

At
any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the
Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if



No
such waiver or rescission and annulment shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 4.3Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.The Company covenants that
(1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) on any Security, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and
such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days or (2) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal (including accreted principal, if any) of any Security when
the same becomes due in accordance with the terms thereof and such default shall have continued for a period of 5 business days then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee,
for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Securities for principal (including accreted principal, if any) or interest
(including Contingent Interest, if any), or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (including accreted principal, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest
is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Securities during the period of such default; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall
be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a
result of its own negligence or willful misconduct.

If
an Event of Default with respect to Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of
the Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any

20

---

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 4.4Trustee 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 any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the
Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the Accreted Principal Amount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price, Change in Control Purchase Price or interest
(including Contingent Interest, if any) in respect 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 any such amount) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,



and
any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder 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, to pay to the Trustee any amount due 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 5.6.

Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder 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 in any such proceeding.

Section 4.5Trustee 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
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 such judgment has been
recovered.

Section 4.6Application of Money Collected.Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article
shall be applied in the following order:



21

---



Section 4.7Limitation on Suits.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



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 to 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 and common benefit of all of such Holders.

Section 4.8Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.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 Accreted Principal Amount, Redemption Price, Purchase
Price, Change in Control Purchase Price or interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) on such Security after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, and to convert the Securities in
accordance with Article XI, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.

Section 4.9Restoration of Right and Remedies.If the Trustee or any Holder 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 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 4.10Rights 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 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 or 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 4.11Delay or Omission Not Waiver.No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any
Securities 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 an acquiescence

22

---

therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the
Holders, as the case may be.

Section 4.12Control by Holders.The Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the
outstanding Securities 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, with respect to the Securities;provided,however, that



Section 4.13Waiver of Past Defaults.The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Original Principal
Amount of the outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities by notice to the Trustee waive any past default hereunder with respect to such Securities and its consequences,
except a Default:



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, and the
Company, the Trustee and Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

Section 4.14Undertaking for Costs.All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security
by his 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 and expenses, 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, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in Original Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder pursuant to Section 4.8.
This Section 4.14 shall be in lieu of Section 315(e) of the TIA and such Section 315(e) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

Section 4.15Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in force, which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the

23

---

Accreted Principal Amount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price or interest (including Contingent Interest) in respect of Securities, as contemplated herein, or which
may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants
that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE V        THE TRUSTEE

Section 5.1Duties of Trustee.(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

(b)  Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default:



This
Section 5.1(b) shall be in lieu of Section 315(a) of the TIA and such Section 315(a) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

(c)  The
Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:



Subparagraphs
(c)(1), (2) and (3) shall be in lieu of Sections 315(d)(1), 315(d)(2) and 315(d)(3) of the TIA and such Sections 315(d)(1), 315(d)(2) and 315(d)(3) are hereby
expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

(d)  Every
provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 5.1.

(e)  The
Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power or extend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability unless it receives
indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability and expense.

(f)    Money
held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder)
shall be under no liability

24

---

for interest on any money received by it hereunder unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

Section 5.2Rights of Trustee.The following are rights of the Trustee, subject to the Trustee's duties
and responsibilities under the TIA:



25

---



Section 5.3Individual Rights of Trustee.The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent or
co-registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 5.9 and 5.10.

Section 5.4Trustee's Disclaimer.The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of
this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company's use or application of the proceeds from the Securities, it shall not be responsible for any statement in the
registration statement for the Securities under the Securities Act or in the Indenture or the Securities (other than its certificate of authentication), or the determination as to which beneficial
owners are entitled to receive any notices hereunder.

Section 5.5Notice of Defaults.If a Default occurs and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
give to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs unless such Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice. Except in the case of a Default
described in Section 4.1(a) or (b), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the
interests of Holders. The second sentence of this Section 5.5 shall be in lieu of the proviso to Section 315(b) of the TIA and such proviso is hereby expressly excluded from this
Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

Section 5.6Compensation and Indemnity.The Company agrees:



To
secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 5.6, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee,
except that held in trust to pay the Accreted Principal Amount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price, Change in Control Purchase Price or interest (including Contingent Interest, if any), as the case may
be, on particular Securities.

The
Company's payment obligations pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs
expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 4.1(g) or (h), the expenses, including the reasonable fees

26

---

and expenses of its counsel, are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 5.7Replacement of Trustee.The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company; provided, however, no such resignation shall
be effective until a successor Trustee has accepted its appointment pursuant to this Section 5.7.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company shall remove
the Trustee if:

(a)  the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 5.9;

(b)  the
Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(c)  a
receiver or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(d)  the
Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If
the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint, by resolution of its Board of Directors, a
successor Trustee.

A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company satisfactory in form and substance to the retiring Trustee and the
Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall upon payment of its charges hereunder promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee
to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 5.6.

reports containing substantially the same information as would have been required to be filed with the Commission had the Company continued to have been subject to such reporting requirements. In such

The
Company shall give the notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 10.1 by a Company Order, at least 30 days before the Redemption Date.

Section 10.2Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed.If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed,
the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate (so long as such method is not prohibited by the rules of

34

---

Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the Original Principal Amount of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities
and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in Original Principal Amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption
also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.

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 (so far as may be) 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.

Section 10.3Notice of Redemption.At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a
Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed.

The
notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall at a minimum state:



At
the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's expense, provided that the Company makes such request at least three
Business Days prior to such notice of redemption.

Section 10.4Effect of Notice of Redemption.Once notice of redemption is given, Securities called for
redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price stated in the notice except for Securities which are converted in accordance with the terms of this

35

---

Indenture. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption Price stated in the notice.

Section 10.5Deposit of Redemption Price.Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time on the
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price, together with interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date, of all Securities to be redeemed on that date other
than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which on or prior thereto have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or have been converted. The Paying Agent
shall as promptly as practicable return to the Company any money not required for that purpose because of conversion of Securities pursuant to Article XI. If such money is then held by the
Company in trust and is not required for such purpose it shall be discharged from such trust.

Section 10.6Securities Redeemed in Part.Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Security in an authorized denomination equal in Original Principal Amount to the unredeemed portion of the
Security surrendered.

Section 10.7Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption.In connection with any redemption of
Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Securities called for redemption by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such
Securities by paying to a Paying Agent (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) in trust for the Holders, on or before 11:00 A.M. New York City time on the Redemption Date, an amount
that, together with any amounts deposited with such Paying Agent by the Company for the redemption of such Securities, is not less than the Redemption Price of such Securities. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Article, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of such Securities shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such
amount is so paid by such purchasers;provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.7 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to pay the
Redemption Price of the Securities called for redemption. If such an agreement is entered into, any Securities called for redemption and not surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof prior to
the relevant Redemption Date may, at the option of the Company upon written notice to the Trustee, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such Holders and
(notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article XI) surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day
immediately prior to the Redemption Date, subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. The Paying Agent shall hold and pay to the Holders whose Securities are selected for redemption any such
amount paid to it for purchase in the same manner as it would money deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of the Securities. Without the Paying Agent's prior written consent, no
arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Securities shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of
the Paying Agent as set forth in this Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Paying Agent from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection
with any such arrangement for the purchase and conversion of any Securities between the Company and such purchasers, including the costs and expenses incurred by the Paying Agent in the defense of any
claim
or liability reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers, duties, responsibilities or
obligations under this Indenture, in accordance with the indemnity provisions applicable to the Trustee set forth herein.

ARTICLE XI        CONVERSION

Section 11.1Conversion Rights.The Securities shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and in
accordance with and subject to this Article into a number of shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Securities equal to the Conversion Rate.

A
Holder of a Security otherwise entitled to a fractional share shall receive cash in an amount equal to the value of such fractional share based on the Applicable Stock Price. Upon a
conversion, the Company may deliver cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock in lieu of Common Stock, as described in Section 11.6.

Upon
determination that Holders are or will be entitled to convert their Securities pursuant to this Article XI, the Company shall issue a press release and publish such
determination on the Company's Web site on the World Wide Web.

A
Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Purchase Notice or Change in Control 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 the terms of the Indenture.

Section 11.2Conversion Rights Based on Common Stock Price.Commencing after June 30, 2003,
Securities may be surrendered for conversion into shares of Common Stock in integral multiples of $1,000 Original Principal Amount in any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if,
as of the last day of the preceding calendar quarter, the closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days in a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day
of such preceding calendar quarter is more than 120% of the Base Conversion Price per share of Common Stock as of the last day of such preceding calendar quarter.

Section 11.3Conversion Rights Upon Credit Ration Downgrade.Securities may be surrendered for conversion
in integral multiples of $1,000 Original Principal Amount any time the credit rating assigned to the Securities by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill
Companies Inc., and its successors ("Standard & Poor's") and by Moody's Investors Service, and its successors
("Moody's") is three or more sub-categories below the Applicable Rating. "Applicable Rating"
means the initial credit rating, if any, assigned to the Securities.

Section 11.4Conversion Rights Upon Notice of Redemption.Holders of Securities may surrender for
conversion Securities in integral multiples of $1,000 Original Principal Amount called for redemption under Article X hereof at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business
Day preceding the Redemption Date.

Section 11.5Conversion Rights Upon Occurrence of Certain Corporate Transactions.

If
the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange pursuant to which shares of Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property as set
forth in Section 11.15, any Security may be surrendered for conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction
until 15 days after the actual date of such transaction and, at the effective time of the transaction, the right to convert a Security into shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a right
to convert such Security into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property of the Company or another person which the Holder would have received if the Holder had converted such Security
immediately prior to the transaction.

If
the Company declares a dividend or distribution described in Section 11.10(b), or a dividend or a distribution described in Section 11.10(c) where the fair market value
of such dividend or distribution per share of Common Stock exceeds 15% of the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day

37

---

immediately preceding the date of declaration for such dividend or distribution, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion beginning on the date the Company gives notice to the Holders of such
right, which shall not be less than 20 days prior to the Ex-Dividend Time for such dividend or distribution, and Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time thereafter
until the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Ex-Dividend Time or until the Company announces that such dividend or distribution will not take place.

Section 11.6Conversion Procedures.To convert a Security, a Holder must (a) complete and manually
sign the Conversion Notice or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice on the back of the Security and deliver such notice to a Conversion Agent, (b) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent,
(c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or a Conversion Agent and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. The date on which the
Holder satisfies all of those requirements is the "Conversion Date." Within two Business Days following the Conversion Date, the
Company shall deliver to the Holder, through the Conversion Agent, written notice of whether such Securities shall be converted into Common Stock or paid in cash or a combination of cash and Common
Stock (unless the Company shall have already done so pursuant to a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 10.3 in respect of a Conversion Date occurring before the Redemption Date set forth
in such notice). If the Company shall have notified the Holder that all of such Securities shall be converted into Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock, the Company shall deliver to
the Holder through the Conversion Agent, no later than the third Business Day following the date on which the Applicable Stock Price is determined, a certificate for the number of whole shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion and, if applicable, cash in lieu of such Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 11.7. Except as otherwise provided
in this Article XI, if the Company shall have notified the Holder that all or a portion of such Security shall be paid solely in cash, the Company shall deliver to the Holder surrendering such
Security the amount of cash per Security (or a portion of a Security) equal to the Applicable Stock Price multiplied by the Conversion Rate in effect with respect to such Conversion Date no later than
the tenth Business Day following such Conversion Date. Except as otherwise provided in this Article XI, the Company may not change its election with respect to the consideration to be delivered
upon conversion of a Security once the Company has notified the Holder in accordance with this paragraph. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, Conversion
Notices may be delivered and such Securities may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary as in effect from time to time. The Person in whose name
the Common Stock certificate is registered shall be deemed to be a shareholder of record on the Conversion Date;provided, however, that no surrender of a
Security on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed shall be effective to constitute the Person
or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to
constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the date on which the Applicable
Stock Price is determined with respect to the applicable Conversion Date.

No
payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends on, or other distributions with respect to, any Common Stock except as provided in this Article. On conversion of a Security prior to
March 21, 2008, except as provided below in the case of certain Securities or portions thereof called for redemption, that portion of accrued and unpaid interest on the converted Security
attributable to the period from the most recent Interest Payment Date (or, if no Interest Payment Date has occurred, from the Issue Date) through the Conversion Date shall not be cancelled,
extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of the Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional
shares), or cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock in lieu thereof, in exchange for the Security being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof, and the fair market value of such shares of
Common Stock (together with any such

38

---

cash payment in lieu of fractional shares), or cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock in lieu thereof, shall be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for accrued and
unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) accrued through the Conversion Date and the balance, if any, of such fair market value of such Common Stock (and any such cash payment), or cash
in lieu thereof, shall be treated as issued in exchange for the Original Principal Amount of the Security being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.

On
conversion of a Security on or after March 21, 2008, that portion of increases in the Accreted Principal Amount attributable to the period from and including March 21,
2008 through the Conversion Date, including (except as provided below) accrued Contingent Interest, if any, with respect to the converted Security shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited,
but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of the Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional shares) in exchange for the
Security being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof; and the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock (together with any such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) shall be treated
as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for accrued Tax Original Issue Discount and the increase in Accreted Principal Amount from the Issue Date through the Conversion Date and accrued
contingent interest, and the balance, if any, of such fair market value of such Common Stock (and any such cash payment) shall be treated as issued in exchange for the Issue Price of the Security
being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.

The
Company agrees, and each Holder and any beneficial owner of a Security by its purchase thereof shall be deemed to agree, to treat, for United States federal income tax purposes, the
fair market value of the Common Stock received upon the conversion of a security (together with any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) or cash, or a combination of cash and Common Stock as a
contingent payment on the Security for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-4(b).

If
a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the aggregate Original Principal Amount
of Securities converted.

Upon
surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Security equal in Original
Principal Amount to the Original Principal Amount of the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.

Securities
or portions thereof surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date immediately preceding any Interest Payment Date to the
opening of business on such Interest Payment Date shall (except for Securities called for redemption pursuant to Article X hereof on a Redemption Date that occurs during the period between a
Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates) be accompanied by payment to the Company or its order, in New York Clearing House funds or other funds
acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date (both Regular Interest and Contingent Interest, if any) on the Accreted Principal Amount of
Securities or portions thereof being surrendered for conversion.

The
Holders' rights to convert Securities into Common Stock are subject to the Company's right to elect instead to pay each such Holder the amount of cash determined pursuant to this
Article (or an equivalent amount in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock), in lieu of delivering such Common Stock;provided, however, that
if an Event of Default (other than a default in a cash payment upon conversion of the Securities) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall deliver Common Stock in accordance with this
Article, whether or not the Company has delivered a notice
pursuant to this Section 11.6 to the effect that the Securities would be paid in cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock.

Section 11.7Fractional Shares.The Company shall not issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon
conversion of a Security. Instead, the Company will deliver cash for the current market value of the fractional share. The current market value of a fractional share of Common Stock shall be
determined, to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, by multiplying the Applicable Stock Price in effect with respect to the applicable Conversion Rate of a full share of Common Stock by the fractional
amount and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.

Section 11.8Taxes on Conversion.If a Holder converts a Security, the Company shall pay any documentary,
stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon such conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares
to be issued in a name other than the Holder's name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificate representing the Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder's name until
the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holder's name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax
withholding required by law or regulation.

Section 11.9Company to Provide Common Stock.The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Securities
under this Article, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all
Securities outstanding into shares of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Securities shall be newly issued shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

The
Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the registration of the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock to a converting
Holder upon conversion of Securities, if any.

Section 11.10Adjustment of Base Conversion Rate.The Base Conversion Rate (and, when applicable, the
Incremental Share Factor) shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.10:

(a)  If,
after the Issue Date of the Securities, the Company:



then
the Base Conversion Rate (and, when applicable, Incremental Share Factor) in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of a Security thereafter converted may
receive the number of shares of Capital Stock of the Company which such Holder would have owned immediately following such action if such Holder had converted the Security immediately prior to such
action.

The
adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or reclassification.

If
after an adjustment a Holder of a Security upon conversion of such Security may receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock of the Company, the Base Conversion Rate (and,
when applicable, the Incremental Share Factor) shall thereafter be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of an action taken with respect to any such class of Capital Stock as is contemplated by
this

Section 11.10 with respect to the Common Stock, on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 11.10.

(b)  If
after the Issue Date of the Securities, the Company distributes any rights, warrants or options to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period
expiring within 60 days after the record date for such distribution, to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Sale Price as of the Time of Determination, the Base
Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

|-------- |  | -----------
|R' = R x |  |

prices) on such Trading Date for such securities on a "when issued" basis without due bills (or similar concept) as reported in the composite transactions for the principal United States securities
exchange on which such Capital Stock or equity interest is traded or, if the Capital Stock or equity interest, as the case may be, is not listed on a United States national or regional securities

not been traded on a "when issued" basis, the Post-Distribution Price shall be the per share closing sale price (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask
prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on such Trading Date for such securities on a "regular way" basis whithout due bills (or similar
concept) as reported in the composite transaction for the principal United States securities exchange on which such Capital Stock or equity interest is traded or, if the Capital Stock or equity
interest, as the case may be, is not listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System or by
the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated. In the absence of such quotation, the Company shall be entitled to determine the Post-Distribution Price on the basis of such quotations which
reflect the post-distribution value of the Capital Stock or equity interests as it considers appropriate.

(3)  In
the event that, with respect to any distribution to which Section 11.10(c)(1) or (2) would otherwise apply, the difference between "M-F" is
less than $1.00 or "F" is equal to or greater than

44

---

"M", then the adjustment provided by Section 11.10(c)(1) or (2) shall not be made and in lieu thereof the provisions of Section 11.15 shall apply to such distribution.

Section 11.11When Adjustments May Be Deferred or Are Not Required.(a) No adjustment in the
Conversion Rate shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate as last adjusted; provided,however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 11.11 are not required to
be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/1000th of
a share, as the case may be.

No
adjustment need be made for issuances of Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest or for a change in the par value or a change to no par value
of the Common Stock.

(b)  No
adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in Section 11.10(a), 11.10(b), 11.10(c) or 11.15 if Holders are to participate in the transaction on a
basis and with notice that the Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and notice on which holders of Common Stock participate in the transaction. Such
participation by Holders may include participation upon conversion provided that an adjustment shall be made at such time as the Holders are no longer entitled to participate.

(c)  To
the extent the Securities become convertible pursuant to this Article XI into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash. Interest will not
accrue on the cash.

Section 11.12Adjustment for Tax Purposes.The Company shall be entitled to make such adjustments in the
Base Conversion Rate (and, when applicable, the Incremental Share Factor), in addition to those required by Section 11.10, as in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any
stock dividends, subdivisions of shares, distributions of rights to purchase stock or securities or distributions of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company
to its stockholders shall not be taxable.

Section 11.13Notice of Adjustment.Whenever the Base Conversion Rate (and, when applicable, the
Incremental Share Factor) is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the adjusted Conversion Rate,
Base Conversion Rate, the Incremental Share Factor and the Applicable Stock Price, and briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it.

Section 11.14Notice of Certain Transactions.In the event that:

(1)  the
Company takes any action which would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate;

(2)  the
Company takes any action that requires a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 11.15; or

(3)  there
is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company;

the
Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee a notice stating the proposed record or effective date, as the case may be. The Company shall mail the notice at least fifteen days before
such date. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 11.14.

Section 11.15Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale on Conversion Privilege.If the
Company is a party to a transaction subject to Section 8.1 (other than a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in a transaction in which the holders of Common Stock
immediately prior to such transaction do not receive securities, cash or other assets of the Company or any other person) or a merger or binding share exchange which reclassifies or changes its
outstanding Common Stock, the person obligated to deliver securities, cash or other assets upon conversion of Securities shall

45

---

enter into a supplemental indenture. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon conversion of Securities is an Affiliate of the successor Company, that issuer shall join in the supplemental
indenture.

The
supplemental indenture shall provide that the Holder of a Security may convert it into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which such Holder would have received
immediately after the consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or transfer if such Holder had converted the Security immediately before the effective date of the transaction, assuming (to the
extent applicable) that such Holder (i) was not a constituent person or an Affiliate of a constituent person to such transaction; (ii) made no election with respect thereto; and
(iii) was treated alike with the plurality of non-electing Holders. The supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical
to the adjustments provided for in this Article XI. The successor Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture.

If
this Section applies, neither Section 11.10(a) nor 11.10(b) applies.

If
the Company makes a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock of any of its assets, or debt securities or any rights, warrants or options to purchase securities of the Company
that, but for the provisions of Section 11.10(c)(3), would otherwise result in an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.10(c), then, from and after
the record date for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the distribution, a Holder of a Security that converts such Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture
shall upon such conversion be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock into which the Security is convertible, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets comprising
the distribution that such Holder would have received if such Holder had converted the Security immediately prior to the record date for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the
distribution.

Section 11.16Trustee's Disclaimer.The Trustee shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment under
this Article should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be
protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate including the Officers' Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.13.
The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company's failure to
comply with any provisions of this Article.

The
Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 11.15, but
may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the Officers' Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with
the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.13.

Section 11.17Voluntary Increase.The Company from time to time may increase the Base Conversion Rate
(and, when applicable, the Incremental Share Factor) by any amount for any period of time. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased, the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee and
the Conversion Agent a notice of the increase. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect. The notice shall state the
increased Conversion Rate and the period it will be in effect.

A
voluntary increase of the Conversion Rate does not change or adjust the Conversion Rate otherwise in effect for purposes of Section 11.10.

Section 11.18Rights Issued in Respect of Common Stock Issued Upon Conversion.Each share of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of Securities pursuant to this Article 11 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of common stock or preferred stock purchase rights, as the case may be (the
"Rights"), if any, that shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive and the certificates

46

---

representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any shareholder rights agreement adopted by the Company, as
the same may be amended from time to time (in each case, a "Rights Agreement"). Provided that such Rights Agreement requires that each share of Common
Stock issued upon conversion of Securities at any time prior to the distribution of separate certificates representing the Rights be entitled to receive such Rights, then, notwithstanding anything
else to the contrary in this Article 11, there shall not be any adjustment to the conversion privilege or Conversion Rate as a result of the issuance of Rights, the distribution of separate
certificates representing the Rights, the exercise or redemption of such Rights in accordance with any such Rights Agreement, or the termination or invalidation of such Rights.

Section 11.19Company Determination Final.Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors
must make pursuant to Section 11.6, 11.7, 11.10, 11.11, 11.12 or 11.15 shall be conclusive.

ARTICLE XII        REPAYMENT AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

Section 12.1Applicability of Article.Repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity at the option
of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and in accordance with this Article. The Company shall be required to purchase Securities in accordance with this
Article XII.

Securities
shall be purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions under the caption "Purchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder" in the Securities on any
March 21 occurring in the years 2008, 2013, 2018, 2023 and 2028 (each, a "Purchase Date"), at the purchase price specified therein (each, a
"Purchase Price"), at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:



47

---



If
a Holder, in such Holder's Purchase Notice and in any written notice of withdrawal delivered by such Holder pursuant to the terms of Section 12.9 hereof, fails to indicate such
Holder's choice with respect to the election set forth in clause (D) of Section 12.1(1), such Holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive cash in respect of the Purchase Price for
all Securities subject to the Purchase Notice in the circumstances set forth in such clause (D).

The
Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Article, a portion of the Original Principal Amount in an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture
that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security.

Any
purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder (if any)
promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the time of delivery of the Security.

Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 12.1 shall have the right to withdraw
such Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance
with Section 12.9.

The
Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal therefrom.

The
Company may, at its option, specify additional dates on which Holders will have the right to require it to purchase Securities upon written notice to the Trustee and the Holders.
Such notice shall specify the additional dates upon which the Company shall be required to purchase the Securities at the option of the Holders and shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Holders no
less than 25 Business Days prior to the earliest purchase date specified in such notice.

Section 12.2The Company's Right to Elect Manner of Payment of Purchase Price.

(a)  The
Purchase Price of Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 12.1 has been given, or a specified percentage thereof, will be paid by
the Company, at the election of the Company, with cash or Common Stock or in any combination of cash and Common Stock, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 12.2 and 12.3 hereof. The
Company shall designate, in the Company
Notice delivered pursuant to Section 12.5 hereof, whether the Company will purchase the Securities for cash or Common Stock, or, if a combination thereof, the percentages of the Purchase Price
of Securities in respect of which it will pay in cash and Common Stock;provided, however, that the Company will pay cash for fractional interests in
Common Stock. For purposes of determining the existence of potential fractional interests, all Securities subject to purchase by the Company held by a Holder shall be considered together (no matter
how many separate certificates are to be presented). Each Holder whose Securities are purchased pursuant to this Article shall receive the same percentage of cash or Common Stock in payment of the
Purchase Price for such Securities, except (i) as provided in Section 12.4 with regard to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional Common Stock and (ii) in the event that the
Company is unable to purchase the Securities of a Holder or Holders for Common Stock because any necessary qualifications or registrations of the Common Stock under applicable state securities laws
cannot be obtained, the Company may purchase the Securities of such Holder or Holders for cash. The Company may not change its election with respect to the consideration (or components or percentages
of components thereof) to be paid once the Company has given its

48

---

Company Notice to Holders except pursuant to this Section 12.2 or pursuant to Section 12.4 in the event of a failure to satisfy, prior to the close of business on the Purchase Date, any
condition to the payment of the Purchase Price, in whole or in part, in Common Stock.

At
least three Business Days before the Company Notice Date, the Company shall deliver an Officers' Certificate to the Trustee specifying:



Section 12.3Purchase with Cash.On each Purchase Date, at the option of the Company, the Purchase Price
of Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 12.1 has been given, or a specified percentage thereof, may be paid by the Company with cash equal to the aggregate
Purchase Price of such Securities. If the Company elects to purchase Securities with cash, the Company Notice, as provided in Section 12.5, shall be sent to Holders (and to beneficial owners as
required by applicable law) not less than 21 Business Days prior to such Purchase Date (the "Company Notice Date").

Section 12.4Payment by Issuance of Common Stock.On each Purchase Date, at the option of the Company,
the Purchase Price of Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 12.1 has been given, or a specified percentage thereof, may be paid by the Company by the issuance of
a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount of cash to which the Holders would have been entitled had the Company elected to pay all or such
specified percentage, as the case may be, of the Purchase Price of such Securities in cash by (ii) the Market Price of a share of Common Stock, subject to the next succeeding paragraph.

The
Company will not issue a fractional share of Common Stock in payment of the Purchase Price. Instead the Company will pay cash for the current market value of the fractional share.
The current market value of a fraction of a share of Common Stock shall be determined by multiplying the Market Price by such fraction and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent with one half
cent being rounded upwards. It is understood that if a Holder elects to have more than one Security purchased, the number of shares of Common Stock shall be based on the aggregate amount of Securities
to be purchased.

If
the Company elects to purchase the Securities by the issuance of Common Stock, the Company Notice, as provided in Section 12.5, shall be sent to the Holders (and to beneficial
owners as required by applicable law) not later than the Company Notice Date.

The
Company's right to exercise its election to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Article through the issuance of Common Stock shall be conditioned upon:



49

---







Such
Officers' Certificate shall also set forth the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued for each $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Securities and the Sale Price of a share of
Common Stock on each Trading Day during the period commencing on the first Trading Day of the period during which the Market Price is calculated and ending three Business Days prior to the applicable
Purchase Date. The Company shall pay the Purchase Price (or any portion thereof) in Common Stock only if the information necessary to calculate the Market Price is published in an Authorized Newspaper
or is otherwise readily publicly available. If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied with respect to a Holder or Holders prior to the close of business on the Purchase Date and the Company has
elected to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Article through the issuance of Common Stock, the Company shall pay, without further notice, the entire Purchase Price of the Securities of such
Holder or Holders in cash.

The
"Market Price" means the average of the Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the five Trading Day period ending on the third Business
Day (if the third Business Day prior to the applicable Purchase Date is a Trading Day, or if not, then on the last Trading Day prior to the third Business Day), prior to the applicable Purchase Date
appropriately adjusted to take into account the occurrence, during the period commencing on the first of such Trading Days during such five Trading Day period
and ending on such Purchase Date, of any event described in Section 11.10; subject, however, to the conditions set forth in Section 11.11.

The
"Sale Price" of the Common Stock on any date means the closing per share sale price (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the
average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and average ask prices) on such date as reported in the composite transactions for the principal
United States securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or, if the Common Stock is not listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System.

Section 12.5Notice of Election.The Company's notice of election to purchase with cash or Common Stock
or any combination thereof shall be sent to the Holders in the manner provided in Section 15.3 of the Indenture at the time specified in Section 12.3 or 12.4, as applicable (the
"Company

50

---

Notice"). Such Company Notice shall state the manner of payment elected and shall contain the following information:

In
the event the Company has elected to pay the Purchase Price (or a specified percentage thereof) with Common Stock, the Company Notice shall:



In
any case, each Company Notice shall include a form of Purchase Notice to be completed by a Holder and shall state:



If
any of the Securities is in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify the Company Notice to the extent necessary to accord with the procedures of the Depositary
applicable to the purchase of Global Securities.

At
the Company's request, the Trustee shall give such Company Notice in the Company's name and at the Company's expense;provided,
however, that, in all cases, the text of such Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

Upon
determination of the actual number of shares of Common Stock to be issued for each $1,000 Principal Amount of Securities, the Company will publish such determination at the
Company's Web site on the World Wide Web or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

51

Section 12.6Covenants of the Company.All Common Stock delivered upon purchase of the Securities shall
be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

Section 12.7Procedure upon Purchase.As soon as practicable after the Purchase Date and upon receipt of
the Securities, the Company shall deliver to each Holder entitled to receive Common Stock through the Paying Agent, a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of
the Purchase Price and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock. The Person in whose name the certificate for Common Stock is registered shall be treated as a holder of record of Common
Stock on the Business Day following the Purchase Date. Subject to Section 12.4, no payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on the Common Stock the record date for which occurred on or
prior to the Purchase Date.

Section 12.8Taxes.If a Holder of a Security is paid in Common Stock, the Company shall pay any
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on such issue of Common Stock. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the Common Stock to be issued
in a name other than the Holder's name. The Paying Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder's name until the
Paying Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the Holder's name.

Section 12.9Effect of Purchase Notice.Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Purchase Notice specified
in Section 12.5, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs)
thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Purchase Price with respect to such Security. Such Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds and/or Common Stock by the
Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the Purchase Date with respect to such Security (provided the conditions in Section 12.1 have been satisfied) and (y) the time of
delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 12.1. Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof
may not be converted pursuant to Article XI hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Purchase Notice unless such Purchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn as specified in the
following two paragraphs.

A
Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent in accordance with the Purchase Notice at any time prior to the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Purchase Date specifying:



A
written notice of withdrawal of a Purchase Notice may be in the form set forth in the preceding paragraph or may be in the form of (i) a conditional withdrawal contained in a
Purchase Notice pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1(1)(D) or (ii) a conditional withdrawal containing the information set forth in Section 12.1(l)(D) and the preceding paragraph
and contained in a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent as set forth in the preceding paragraph.

There
shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to this Article (other than through the issuance of Common Stock in payment of the Purchase Price, including cash in lieu of
fractional

52

---

shares) if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving, by the Holders of such Securities, of the required Purchase Notice) and is continuing an Event of Default (other
than a default in the payment of the Purchase Price with respect to such Securities). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities (x) with respect to
which a Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the
Purchase Price with respect to such Securities) in which case, upon such return, the Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 12.10Deposit of Purchase Price.Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Purchase
Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) and/or Common Stock, if permitted
hereunder, sufficient to pay the aggregate Purchase Price of all of the Securities or portions thereof which are to be purchased as of the Purchase Date. The manner in which the deposit required by
this Section 12.10 is made by the Company shall be at the option of the Company,provided, however, that such deposit shall be made in a manner
such that the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall have immediately available funds on the Purchase Date.

If
a Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, money and/or Common Stock sufficient to pay the Purchase Price of any Security for which a Purchase Notice has been tendered
and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture on the Business Day following the Purchase Date then,
immediately after Purchase Date, such Security will cease to be outstanding, interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) will cease to accrue and the rights of the Holder in respect thereof shall
terminate (other than the right to receive the Purchase Price as aforesaid).

Section 12.11Securities Purchased in Part.Any Security which is to be purchased only in part shall be
surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such
Security, without service charge except for any taxes to be paid by the Holder in the event a Security is registered under a new name, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder in aggregate Original Principal Amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the Original Principal Amount of the Security so surrendered which is not purchased.

Section 12.12Compliance with Securities Laws Upon Purchase of Securities.In connection with any offer
to purchase or purchase of Securities under this Article (provided that such offer or purchase constitutes an "issuer tender offer" for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used
herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer or purchase), the Company shall (i) comply with Rule 13e-4 under the
Exchange Act, (ii) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report), if required, under the Exchange Act, and (iii) otherwise comply with all applicable Federal
and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article.

Section 12.13Repayment to the Company.The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any
cash or Common Stock that remain unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law, together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon held by them for the payment of the
Purchase Price;provided,however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash or Common Stock
deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 12.10 exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Purchase Date,
then promptly after the Business Day following the Purchase Date, the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon. Thereafter,

53

---

any Holder entitled to payment must look to the Company for payment as general creditors, unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

Section 12.14Conversion Arrangement on Purchase.Any Securities required to be purchased under this
Article, unless surrendered for conversion before the close of business on the Purchase Date, may be deemed to be purchased from the Holders of such Securities for an amount in cash not less than the
Purchase Price, by one or more investment bankers or other purchasers who may agree with the Company to purchase such Securities from the Holders, to convert them into Common Stock of the Company and
to make payment for such Securities to the Trustee in trust for such Holders.

Section 12.15Repayment of Securities.Securities subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option
of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the Accreted Principal Amount thereof, together with interest thereon accrued to
the Repayment Date specified in the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or before the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is
acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money sufficient to pay the principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the Securities, a percentage of the principal) of,
and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.

55

---



The
Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 13.1, a portion of a Security if the Original Principal Amount of such portion is $1,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security pursuant to Sections 13.1 through 13.6 also apply to the purchase of such portion of such
Security.

Any
purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.1 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder
promptly following the later of the Change in Control Purchase Date and the time of delivery of the Security to the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 13.1.

Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to a Paying Agent the Change in Control Purchase Notice contemplated by this subsection (c) shall have the
right to withdraw such Change in Control Purchase Notice in whole or as to a portion thereof that is an Original Principal Amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at any time prior to the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change in Control Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with
Section 13.2.

A
Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Change in Control Purchase Notice or written withdrawal thereof.

Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, any Change in Control Purchase Notice may be delivered or withdrawn and such Securities may be
surrendered or delivered for purchase in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary as in effect from time to time.

Section 13.2Effect of Change in Control Purchase Notice.Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of the Change
in Control Purchase Notice specified in Section 13.1(c), the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Change in Control Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Change in Control
Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified below) thereafter be entitled to receive the Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to such Security. Such Change in Control Purchase Price shall be
paid to such Holder promptly following the later of (a) the Change in Control Purchase Date with respect to such Security (provided the conditions in Section 13.1(c) have been satisfied)
and (b) the time
of delivery of such Security to a Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 13.1(c). Securities in respect of which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given
by the Holder thereof may not be converted into Common Stock on or after the date of the delivery of such Change in Control Purchase Notice unless such Change in Control Purchase Notice has first been
validly withdrawn as specified in the following paragraph.

56

---

A
Change in Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent in accordance with the Change in Control
Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the applicable Change in Control Purchase Date specifying:



There
shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to this Article if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving, by the Holders of such Securities, of
the required Change in Control Purchase Notice) and is continuing an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to such Securities). The
Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities (x) with respect to which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this
Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to such Securities) in which
case, upon such return, the Change in Control Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 13.3Deposit of Change in Control Purchase Price.On or before 11:00 a.m. New York City
time on the Change in Control Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) an amount of money (in
immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the aggregate Change in Control Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of
such Change in Control Purchase Date. The manner in which the deposit required by this Section 13.3 is made by the Company shall be at the option of the Company, provided,however, that such deposit shall be made in

If
a Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, money sufficient to pay the Change in Control Purchase Price of any Security for which a Change in Control Purchase Notice
has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture on the Business Day following the Change in Control Purchase Date then, immediately following the Change in Control Purchase Date,
such Security will cease to be outstanding, interest will cease to accrue and the rights of the Holder in respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the interest thereon). The
Company shall publicly announce the Original Principal Amount of Securities purchased as a result of such Change in Control on or as soon as practicable after the Change in Control Purchase Date.

Section 13.4Securities Purchased In Part.Any Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be
surrendered at the office of a Paying Agent and promptly after the Change in Control Purchase Date the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such
Security, without service charge (other than amounts to be paid in respect of applicable transfer taxes), a new Security or Securities, of such authorized denomination or denominations in integral
multiples of $1,000 as may be requested by such Holder, in aggregate Original Principal Amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the Original Principal Amount of the Security so
surrendered that is not purchased.

cash that remains unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law, together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon held by them for the payment of the Change in Control
Purchase Price;provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 13.3 exceeds
the aggregate Change in Control Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Change in Control Purchase Date, then on the Business Day
following the Purchase Date, the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon. Thereafter, any Holder entitled to payment must look to the
Company for payment as general creditors, unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

ARTICLE XIV        IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES

no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, shareholders, officers, directors or employees, as such, of the Company or of any successor
corporation, or any of them, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of
the Securities or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against,
every such incorporator, shareholders, officer, director or employee, as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or
agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this
Indenture and the issue of such Securities.

any provision of this Indenture authorized or required to be done or performed by any

58

---

board, committee or officer of the Company shall and may be done and performed with like force and effect by the like board, committee or officer of any corporation that shall at that time be the

Any notice, direction, request or demand by the Company or by any Holder to or upon the Trustee may be given or made, for all purposes, by being deposited postage prepaid in a post office letter box

Indenture shall be deemed to be properly mailed by being deposited postage prepaid in a post office letter box in the United States addressed to such Holder at the address of such Holder as shown on
the Security Register. In any case, where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

Where
this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY]

Floating Rate Convertible Senior Debentures due 2033

This
Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities") limited in aggregate
Original Principal Amount to $350,000,000 (or up to $400,000,000 if the Initial Purchasers exercise in full their overallotment option pursuant to the Purchase Agreement), issued under an Indenture,
dated as of March 21, 2003 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is
hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which
the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Security are used as defined in the Indenture.

1.    Regular Interest; Calculation of 3-month LIBOR

This Security will bear regular interest at the rate per annum equal to 3-month LIBOR, reset quarterly on each LIBOR Reset Date, as defined below,
plus 0.75% on the Original Principal Amount (the "Regular Interest") from March 21, 2003, or from the most recent date to which Regular Interest
has been paid as provided for, until March 21, 2008. During each period, Regular Interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 21, June 21, September 21 ad
December 21 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date") beginning June 21, 2003. Regular Interest on this Security shall be calculated
on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed during the related Interest Period (as defined below). Regular Interest payable on this Security on any Interest
Payment Date will include interest accrued from, and including, the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly made available for payment on this Security (or
March 21, 2003, if no interest has been paid or been duly made available for payment) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date or Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date, as the
case may be (an "Interest Period"). The Regular Interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as
provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest, which shall be the March 6, June 6, September 6 or December 6, as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date. Any interest which is
payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder hereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue
of having been such Holder,
and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to the Holders of Securities not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in the Indenture.

"3-month LIBOR," as determined by the Trustee, means:



A-5

---



"LIBOR Determination Date" means the second London banking day preceding the related Interest Reset Date.

"LIBOR Reset Date" means March 21, June 21, September 21 and December 21 of each year; provided that, if any
LIBOR Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such LIBOR
Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such LIBOR Reset Date will be the immediately preceding
Business Day.

"London banking day" means a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in United States dollars, in London.

"Moneyline Telerate Page 3750" means the display on Moneyline Telerate (or any successor service) on such page (or any other page as may
replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for United States dollars.

2.    Principal Accretion

Beginning on March 21, 2008, this Security shall not bear interest, except Contingent Interest as described in Section 3 below. Instead, on
March 21, 2033 (the "Stated Maturity"), the Holder will receive the Accreted Principal Amount of this Security on such date, which will be equal
to the Original Principal Amount of this Security increased daily by the Variable Yield. The Variable Yield will be reset quarterly on each LIBOR Reset Date to a rate of 3-month LIBOR,
plus 0.75% per annum. Regardless of the level of 3-month LIBOR, the Variable Yield will never exceed 6.75% per annum. The Variable Yield will be calculated using the actual number of days
elapsed between the LIBOR Reset Dates divided by 360. Accreted principal payable on this Security will include principal accreted from, and including, March 21, 2008 to, but excluding, the
Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date or Purchase Date, as the case may.

3.    Contingent Interest

Subject to the accrual and Record Date provisions described below, this Security will bear additional quarterly interest ("Contingent
Interest") to the Holder hereof during any six-month period from March 22 to September 21 or September 22 to March 21, commencing after
March 21, 2008, if the average market price of the Securities for the five Trading Days ending on the third Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable
six-month period equals 120% or more of the Principal Amount of the Securities.

During
any period when Contingent Interest shall be payable, the Contingent Interest payable per Security in respect of any six-month period in which Contingent Interest is
payable will equal the

A-6

---

annual rate of 0.25% of the average market price of a Security for the five Trading Day measuring period. Contingent Interest on this Security shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Contingent
Interest, if any, will accrue and be payable on June 21 and September 21 or December 21 and March 21, as the case may be, next succeeding the first
day of the relevant six-month period to the Holders of this Security as of the Regular Record Date relating to the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

For
purposes of this paragraph 3, the market price of a Security on any date of determination means the average of the secondary market bid quotations per Security obtained by the
Bid Calculation Agent for $5 million aggregate Original Principal Amount of Securities at approximately 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on such determination date from three independent
nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company, provided that if (a) at least three such bids are not obtained by the Bid Calculation Agent, or (b) in the reasonable
judgment of the Company, the bid quotations are not indicative of the secondary market value of the Securities, then the market price of the debentures will equal (i) the then applicable
Conversion Rate of the Securities multiplied by (ii) the average Sale Price of the Company's Common Stock on the five Trading Days ending on such determination date, appropriately adjusted.

The
Bid Calculation Agent will initially be The Bank of New York, subject to the Company's right to replace the Bid Calculation Agent. The Bid Calculation Agent shall solicit bids from
securities dealers that the Company believes to be willing to bid for the Securities.

Upon
determination that Holders will be entitled to receive Contingent Interest during a relevant six-month period, we will issue a press release and publish such information
on our website on the World Wide Web as soon as practicable.

4.    Interest on Overdue Amounts

If the Accreted Principal Amount hereof or any portion of such Accreted Principal Amount is not paid when due (whether upon acceleration pursuant to
Section 4.2 of the Indenture, upon the dates set for payment of the Redemption Price, Purchase Price or upon the Stated Maturity of this Security) or if interest due hereon (including
Contingent Interest, if any) (or any portion of such interest), is not paid when due, then in each such case the overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear interest at the rate of
interest payable as set forth in paragraph 1 of this Security other than Contingent Interest which shall bear interest at the rate of interest payable as set forth in paragraph 3,
compounded quarterly, which interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was originally due to the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided
for. All such interest shall be payable as set forth in the Indenture.

5.    Method of Payment

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make payments in respect of Redemption Price, Purchase Price, Change in Control Purchase
Price and at Stated Maturity to Holders who surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Securities. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United
States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may make such cash payments by check payable in such money; provided that payment by
wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) on all Global Securities and all other Securities the
Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. If any Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date coinciding with the Stated
Maturity or earlier Redemption Date or Purchase Date) falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be

A-7

---

postponed to the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day, provided that,
if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date will be the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. If the Stated Maturity,
Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change of Control Purchase Date of this Security would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of interest, if any, and principal will be made
on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the Stated Maturity, Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change of Control Purchase Date to
such next succeeding Business Day.

6.    Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar

Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar
or co-registrar without notice, other than notice to the Trustee except that the Company will maintain at least one Paying Agent in the State of New York, City of New York, Borough of
Manhattan, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or
co-registrar.

7.    Indenture

The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in
effect from time to time (the "TIA") (regardless of whether or not this Indenture has been qualified thereunder). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the
Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms.

The
Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company limited to $350,000,000 aggregate Original Principal Amount (or up to $400,000,000 if the Initial Purchasers exercise
their overallotment option pursuant to the Purchase Agreement). The Indenture does not limit other indebtedness of the Company, secured or unsecured.

8.    Redemption at the Option of the Company

No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. Except as required by a Gaming Authority, prior to March 21, 2008 and thereafter, the Securities will not
be redeemable at the option of the Company. Beginning on March 21, 2008, the Securities are redeemable for cash as a whole, or from time to time in part, at the option of the Company at a
Redemption Price equal to 100% of the Accreted Principal Amount of the Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

If
the Company redeems less than all of the outstanding Securities, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed (i) by lot; (ii) pro rata; or (iii) by
another method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. If the Trustee selects a portion of a Holder's Securities for partial redemption and the Holder converts a portion of the same Securities,
the converted portion shall be deemed to be from the portion selected for redemption.

9.    Notice of Redemption

Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities to be
redeemed at the Holder's registered address. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying
Agent prior to or on the Redemption Date, immediately after such Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on such Securities or portions

A-8

---

thereof. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 Original Principal Amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000 Original Principal Amount.

10.  Purchase By the Company at the Option of the Holder

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall purchase, at the option of the Holder, the Securities held by such Holder on
March 21, 2008, 2013, 2018, 2023, and 2028 at a Purchase Prices equal to 100% of the Accreted Principal Amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest, if any)
to, but excluding, the Purchase Date, upon delivery of a
Purchase Notice containing the information set forth in the Indenture, at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 21 Business Days prior to such Purchase Date until the close of
business on Business Day immediately preceding such Purchase Date and upon delivery of the Securities to the Paying Agent by the Holder as set forth in the Indenture.

The
Purchase Price may be paid, at the option of the Company, in cash or by the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company, or in any combination thereof.

At
the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall purchase all or a portion of the Securities held by such Holder as of the date
that is 35 Business Days after the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company occurring on or prior to March 21, 2008 for a Change in Control Purchase Price equal to 100% of the Accreted
Principal Amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Change in Control Purchase Date.

Holders
have the right to withdraw any Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice, as the case may be, by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

If
cash (and/or securities if permitted under the Indenture) sufficient to pay the Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price, as the case may be, of all Securities or portions
thereof to be purchased as of the Purchase Date or the Change in Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, is deposited with the Paying Agent on the Business Day following the Purchase Date or the
Change in Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, all interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or portions thereof) immediately after such Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date, as
the case may be, and the Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such (other than the right to receive the Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price, as the case may be, upon surrender
of such Security).

11.  Conversion

Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Holder of a Security may convert the Security into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate under the
circumstances set forth in Sections 11.2, 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5 of the Indenture. A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Purchase Notice or a Change in Control 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 the terms of the Indenture. The
Conversion Rate for the Securities on any Conversion Date shall be determined as set forth in the Indenture.

The
Company shall deliver cash or a check in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock.

A
Holder's right to convert the Securities into Common Stock of the Company is also subject to the Company's right to elect to pay such Holder the amount of cash set forth in the next
succeeding sentence in lieu of delivering all or part of such Common Stock; provided, however, that if such payment of cash is not permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, the Company
shall deliver Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock) in accordance with the

A-9

---

Indenture, whether or not the Company has delivered a notice pursuant to the Indenture to the effect that the Securities will be paid in cash. If the Company shall elect to make such payment in
shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock, the Company shall deliver to the Holder through the Conversion Agent, no later than the third Business Day following the date on which
the Applicable Stock Price is determined, a certificate for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion and, if applicable, cash in lieu of such Common Stock and cash in
lieu of any fractional shares. If, however, the Company shall elect to make all or a portion of such payment solely in cash, the Company shall deliver to the Holder surrendering a Security the amount
of cash per Security (or a portion of a Security) equal to the Applicable Stock Price multiplied by the Conversion Rate in effect with respect to such Conversion Date no later than the tenth Business
Day following such Conversion Date.

The
Company may not pay cash in lieu of delivering all or part of such shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of any Security pursuant to the terms of the Indenture (other than cash
in lieu of fractional shares) if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the Conversion Date or the date on which the Company delivers its notice specifying whether each
Conversion shall be converted into shares of Common Stock or cash) and is continuing an Event of Default (other than a default in such payment on such Securities).

A
Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the Original Principal Amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. No payment or adjustment shall be made for
dividends on the Common Stock except as provided in the Indenture.

Securities
or portions thereof surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date immediately preceding any Interest Payment Date to the
opening of business on such Interest Payment Date shall (except for Securities called for redemption on a Redemption Date that occurs during the period between a Regular Record Date and the Interest
Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates) be accompanied by payment to the Company or its order, in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount
equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the Principal Amount of Securities or portions thereof being surrendered for conversion.

No
fractional shares will be issued upon conversion; in lieu thereof, an amount will be paid in cash based upon the Applicable Stock Price.

The
Company agrees, and each Holder and any beneficial owner of a Security by its purchase thereof shall be deemed to agree, to treat, for United States federal income tax purposes, the
fair market value of the Common Stock received upon the conversion of a Security (together with any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) or cash, or a combination of cash and Common Stock as a
contingent payment on the Security for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-4(b).

To
convert a Security, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the conversion notice set forth below and deliver such notice to a Conversion Agent, (b) surrender the
Security to the Conversion Agent, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents (including any certification that may be required under applicable law) if required by the
Conversion Agent, and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required.

The
Conversion Rate will be adjusted under the Indenture for dividends or distributions on Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other Capital Stock; subdivisions, combinations or
certain reclassifications of Common Stock; distributions to all holders of Common Stock of certain rights to purchase Common Stock for a period expiring within 60 days at less than the Sale
Price at the Time of Determination; and distributions to such holders of assets or debt securities of the Company or certain rights to purchase securities of the Company (excluding certain cash
dividends or distributions), all as more fully provided in the Indenture. However, no adjustment need be made if Holders may

A-10

---

participate in the transaction or in certain other cases. The Company from time to time may voluntarily increase the Conversion Rate.

12.  Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption

Any Securities called for redemption, unless surrendered for conversion before the close of business on the Redemption Date, may be deemed to be purchased from
the Holders of such Securities at an amount not less than the Redemption Price, by one or more investment bankers or other purchasers who may agree with the Company to purchase such Securities from
the Holders, to convert them into Common Stock of the Company and to make payment for such Securities to the Trustee in trust for such Holders.

13.  Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

The Securities are in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 Original Principal Amount and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may
transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any
taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Securities selected for
redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or any Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice or Change in Control
Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn (except, in the case of a Security to be purchased in part, the portion of the Security not to be purchased) or any Securities for a period of
15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed.

14.  Persons Deemed Owners

The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of this Security for all purposes.

15.  Unclaimed Money or Securities

The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written request any money or securities held by them for the payment of any amount with respect
to the Securities that remains unclaimed for two years subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company
for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

16.  Amendment; Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Securities at the time outstanding and (ii) certain Defaults may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority
in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Securities at the time outstanding. The Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture under certain circumstances without the consent of the Holder, as
described in the Indenture.

17.  Defaults and Remedies

Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) a default in the payment of the Accreted Principal Amount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change in
Control Purchase Price with respect to any Security when such payment becomes due and payable; (ii) a default in the payment of any interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) on the
Securities, when the same becomes due and payable, for a period of 30 days; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with other agreements in the

A-11

---

Indenture or the Securities, subject to notice and lapse of time; (iv) failure by the Company to make any payment by the end of any applicable grace period after maturity on Indebtedness in an
amount (taken together with amounts under clause (v) below) in excess of $10,000,000 and continuance of such failure; (v) the acceleration of Indebtedness of the Company in an amount
(taken together with amounts under clause (iv) above) in excess of $10,000,000, without, in the case of clause (vi) above or this clause (v), such Indebtedness having been
discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, for a period of 30 days after receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default; provided, however, that if any
such failure or acceleration shall be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default by reason thereof shall be deemed not to have occurred; (vi) final unsatisfied judgments
not covered by insurance aggregating in excess of $10,000,000 rendered against the Company or any of their Affiliates and not stayed, bonded or discharged within 60 days; and
(vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding, may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the
Securities becoming due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

Holders
may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives
reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of amounts specified in clause (i) or (ii) above) if
it determines that withholding notice is in their interests.

18.  Trustee Dealings with the Company

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have
if it were not Trustee.

19.  No Recourse Against Others

A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

20.  Authentication

This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication on the other side of this
Security.

21.  Abbreviations

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN
