	 	 	PAGE	 
	transfer a Security only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture. No such transfer shall be
effected until, and such
transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Securities Register. Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Security shall, by
acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent)
and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry
	 	 	15	 
	Section 2.09. Book-Entry Provisions for the Global

	 	 	16	 
	Section 2.10. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, such that the Securityholder (a) notifies the Company or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Securityholder has notice of such loss,
destruction or wrongful taking
and the Registrar has not registered a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Company or Trustee prior to the Security being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC and
(c) satisfies any other
reasonable requirements of the Trustee or the Company. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss which
any of them may
suffer if a Security is replaced, and, in the absence of notice to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and make
available for delivery, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding

Security; provided, however, that (i) for
	 	 	 	 






-iii-









 






	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	PAGE	 
	purposes of determining which Securities are outstanding for consent or voting purposes hereunder, the provisions of Section 12.06 shall apply and (ii) in determining whether the

determination whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities are present at a meeting of Holders of Securities for quorum purposes or have consented to or voted in favor of any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, amendment or modification hereunder, or relying upon any such quorum, consent or vote, only Securities which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be
held by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall not be considered outstanding
	 	 	18	 
	Section 2.12. Temporary Securities. In the event that Definitive Securities are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery,
the Company may prepare and upon receipt of a Company Order
the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable
delay, the Company shall prepare and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities. After the preparation of Definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for Definitive Securities
upon surrender of the temporary Securities at any office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose and such exchange shall be 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 make available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more Definitive Securities representing an equal principal amount of Securities. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary
Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of Definitive Securities
	 	 	19	 
	Section 2.13. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities
surrendered to them for
registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of such Securities in
accordance with its internal policies and customary procedures including delivery of a certificate describing such Securities disposed (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) or deliver
canceled Securities to the Company pursuant to written direction by an Officer. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid for or

neither the Company nor the Trustee makes any
representation as to the correctness of CUSIP or ISIN numbers as printed on any Security or any notice to Holders, and any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. No notice or exchange shall be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP

Securityholders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture

presentations, surrenders, notices and demands

principal of or interest (including any Additional Interest) on a Security or (ii) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 8.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each
Securityholder affected and (b) rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences if (i) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and
(ii) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have
been cured or waived. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right
	 	 	27	 
	Section 5.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy
available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or,
subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided,
however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction

impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder
	 	 	29	 
	Section 5.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in

whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in
Section 6.07

discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to the Holder, then, subject to any determination in the proceeding, the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted

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; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against loss,
liability or expense that might be incurred in compliance with such request or direction

Securities will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights under the
rights plan, unless prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all Holders of Common
Stock shares
of the Company’s capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets as described in Section 11.02(c) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. In lieu of any such adjustment,

rights had not
become separated from the Common Stock under such applicable stockholder rights agreement

conversion during the period after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Regular Record Date to
9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the corresponding interest payment date must be accompanied by
payment of an amount equal to the interest (including any Additional Interest) that the Holder is
to receive on the Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such payment of interest
(including any Additional Interest) need be made by any converting Holder (i) for conversions with
a Conversion Date on or after February 1, 2012, (ii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental
Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding
interest payment date,



10









 







or (iii) to the extent of any overdue interest (including any overdue Additional Interest)
existing at the time of conversion of such Security. Except where Securities surrendered for
conversion must be accompanied by payment as described above, no interest or Additional Interest on
converted Securities will be payable by the Company on any interest payment date subsequent to the
Conversion Date and delivery of the cash and shares of Common Stock (or, at the Company’s election
as set forth in Section 11.01(c), in lieu of such shares of Common Stock, cash or any combination
of cash and Common Stock), if applicable, pursuant to Article 11 hereunder, together with any cash
payment for any fractional share, upon conversion will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s
obligation to pay the principal amount of the Securities and accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the related Conversion Date.



     (e) Principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, Global Securities
shall be payable to DTC in immediately available funds.



     (f) Principal on Definitive Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for such purpose, initially the agency of the Trustee at The Bank of New York Mellon,
111 Sanders Creek Parkway, East Syracuse, New York 13057. Interest (including Additional Interest,
if any), on Definitive Securities will be payable (i) to each Holder of Securities having an
aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or less, by check mailed to such Holder and (ii) to each
Holder of Securities having an aggregate principal amount of more than $5,000,000, either by check
mailed to such Holder or, upon application by such Holder to the Registrar not later than the
relevant Regular Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that Holder’s
account within the United States, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder
notifies, in writing, the Registrar to the contrary.



     Section 2.02. Form of Securities.



     (a) Except as otherwise provided pursuant to this Section 2.02, the Securities are issuable in
fully registered form without coupons in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, with such
applicable legends as are provided for in Section 2.03. The Securities are not issuable in bearer
form. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Security shall constitute, and are hereby
expressly made, a part of this Indenture and to the extent applicable, the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantor and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to
such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. Any of the Securities may have such letters,
numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends and endorsements as the
Officer executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such
approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required
to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or
regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Securities may be
listed or designated for issuance, or to conform to usage.



11









 





     (b) The Securities shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global
Securities, with such applicable legends as are provided for in Section 2.03. Each Global Security
shall be duly executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and shall be
registered in the name of DTC or its nominee and retained by the Trustee, as Securities Custodian,
at its Corporate Trust Office, for credit to the accounts of the Agent Members holding the
Securities evidenced thereby. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Securities may from
time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as
Securities Custodian, and of DTC or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.



     Section 2.03. Legends.



     (a) Global Security Legend.



     Each Global Security shall bear the following legend (the “Global Security Legend”) on
the face thereof:



     “UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST
COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), NEW YORK, NEW YORK, TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR
REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME
OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY
PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO
ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.
TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO
NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF
THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET
FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO IN THE TERMS OF SECURITIES ATTACHED HERETO.”



     (b) Legend for Definitive Securities.



     Definitive Securities will bear a legend substantially in the following form:


“THIS SECURITY WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IN EXCHANGE FOR A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN A GLOBAL SECURITY
UNLESS THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY, SUBSEQUENT TO SUCH EXCHANGE, WILL HOLD NO SECURITIES.”





12









 








     Section 2.04. Execution and Authentication. One Officer shall sign the Securities for
the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no
longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be
valid nevertheless.



     A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually
authenticates the Security. The signature of the Trustee on a Security shall be conclusive
evidence that such Security has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this
Indenture. A Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.



     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company in an unlimited aggregate principal amount
to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company signed by two
Officers or by an Officer and either an Assistant Treasurer or an Assistant Secretary of the
Company (the “Company Order”) for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the
Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in
this Indenture provided and not otherwise. All Securities issued on the Issue Date shall be
identical in all respects with any such Securities authenticated and delivered thereafter, other
than issue dates, the date from which interest accrues or other identifying notations and any
changes relating thereto, provided that such additional Securities
must be part of the same issue as the Securities issued on the Issue
Date for Federal income tax purposes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture,
subject to Section 2.11, all Securities issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together
on all matters as one class and no series of Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a
separate class on any matter.



     The Trustee may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the
Company to authenticate the Securities. Initially, the Trustee will act as the Authenticating
Agent. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer of the
Trustee, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Company. Unless limited by the terms of such
appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do
so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by
the Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying
Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.



     In case the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to Article 4 or Section 9.02, shall
be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or
otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the
successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received
a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture
supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article 4, any of the Securities authenticated or
delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition
may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities
executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in



13









 







phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the
Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon
Company Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Securities as specified in
such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and
delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 2.04 in exchange or
substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such successor Person, at the
option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities
at the time outstanding for Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name.



     Section 2.05. Registrar, Paying Agent and Withholding Agent. The Company shall
maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for
exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment
(the “Paying Agent”). If withholding or backup withholding applies to any payments made or deemed
made by the Company to a Holder in respect of the Securities or the Common Stock, the Paying
Agent shall also act as withholding agent (“Withholding Agent”) to withhold, pursuant to Sections
12.16 and 12.17, the appropriate amount from any such payments to a Holder in its capacity. The
Company shall cause each of the Registrar and the Paying Agent to maintain an office or agency in
New York, New York. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer
and exchange (the “Securities Register”). The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one
or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and
the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar.



     The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent
or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA, except
in the case of a Paying Agent that acts as Paying Agent solely in connection with an offer to
purchase the Securities pursuant to Article 10 of this Indenture. The agreement shall implement
the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of
the name and address of each such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying
Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor
pursuant to Section 6.07. The Company or any of its domestically organized, wholly owned
Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent.



     The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Securities.
The Company may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or
Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall
become effective until (i) acceptance of any appointment by a successor as evidenced by an
appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Registrar or successor Paying
Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that
the Trustee or the Company shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a
successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any
time upon written notice to the Company and the Trustee.



14









 





     Section 2.06. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. By no later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the date on which any principal of or interest and Additional Interest, if any,
on any Security is due and payable, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum
sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such principal or interest (including any
Additional Interest), when due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the
Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of
or interest (including any Additional Interest), on the Securities and shall notify the Trustee in
writing of any Default by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor in making any such payment. If
the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying
Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent
(other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds
disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.06, the Paying Agent (if other
than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the
Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Company,
the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities.



     Section 2.07. Securityholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form
as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Securityholders and shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar,
or to the extent otherwise required under the TIA, the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of
the Subsidiary Guarantor, shall furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee, in
writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as
the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may
reasonably require of the names and addresses of Securityholders and the Company shall otherwise
comply with TIA §312(a).



     Section 2.08. General Provisions Relating to Transfer and Exchange. The Securities
are issuable only in registered form. A Holder may transfer a Security only by written application
to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms
of this Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to
the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the
Registrar in the Securities Register. Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Security shall, by
acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global
Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global
Security (or its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Security shall be
required to be reflected in a book-entry.



     When Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to
exchange them for an equal aggregate principal amount of Securities of other authorized
denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its
requirements for such transactions are met (including that



15









 







such Securities are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly
executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of
the Holder). Subject to Section 2.04, to permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Securities, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.



     Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of
any Securities surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any Security is surrendered for
conversion, the portion thereof surrendered for conversion.



     The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect
to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between Beneficial Owners
of any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation
or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms
of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the
express requirements hereof.



     Section 2.09. Book-Entry Provisions for the Global Securities. (a) The Global
Securities initially shall:




     (i) be registered in the name of DTC (or a nominee thereof);




     (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as Securities Custodian for DTC; and




     (iii) bear the Global Security Legend set forth in Section 2.03(a).



     Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this
Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by DTC, or the Trustee as its
custodian, or under such Global Security, and DTC may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all
purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent the
Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and the
Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a
Holder of any Security.



     (b) The Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person,
including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any
action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.



16









 





     (c) A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than
DTC (or a nominee thereof), and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered.
Beneficial interests in a Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and
procedures of DTC.



     (d) If at any time:




     (i) DTC notifies the Company in writing that it is unwilling or unable to continue to
act as depositary for the Global Securities and a successor depositary for the Global
Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice;




     (ii) DTC ceases to be registered as a “clearing agency” under the Exchange Act and a
successor depositary for the Global Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90
days of such cessation;




     (iii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to
cause the issuance of the Definitive Securities under this Indenture in exchange for all or
any part of the Securities represented by a Global Security or Global Securities, subject
to the procedures of DTC; or




     (iv) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received
a request from DTC for the issuance of Definitive Securities in exchange for such Global
Security or Global Securities;


DTC shall surrender such Global Security or Global Securities to the Trustee for cancellation and
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of Securities, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
for such Global Security or Global Securities, Definitive Securities in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Security or Global Securities. Such
Definitive Securities shall be registered in such names as DTC shall identify in writing as the
Beneficial Owners of the Securities represented by such Global Security or Global Securities (or
any nominee thereof).




     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any transfer of beneficial interests in
a Global Security to the Beneficial Owners thereof pursuant to Section 2.09(d), the Registrar shall
reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global
Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interests in such Global
Security to be transferred.



     Section 2.10. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. If a mutilated
Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security
has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, such
that the Securityholder (a) notifies the Company or the Trustee



17









 







within a reasonable time after such Securityholder has notice of such loss, destruction or
wrongful taking and the Registrar has not registered a transfer prior to receiving such
notification, (b) makes such request to the Company or Trustee prior to the Security being acquired
by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC and (c) satisfies any other
reasonable requirements of the Trustee or the Company. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond
sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is
replaced, and, in the absence of notice to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee
that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon
Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for any
such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Security, a new
Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.



     In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Security has become due and
payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.



     Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 2.10, the Company may require the
payment by the Holder 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)
in connection therewith.



     Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.10 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed,
lost or wrongfully taken Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor (if applicable) and any other obligor upon the Securities,
whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Security shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably
with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.



     The provisions of this Section 2.10 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 wrongfully taken Securities.



     Section 2.11. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all
Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation and those described in this Section 2.11 as not outstanding. A Security does not
cease to be outstanding in the event the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security;
provided, however, that (i) for purposes of determining which Securities are outstanding for
consent or voting purposes hereunder, the provisions of Section 12.06 shall apply and (ii) in
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in making a determination whether the Holders of
the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities are present at a meeting of Holders of
Securities for quorum purposes or have consented to or voted in favor of any request, demand,
authorization,



18









 







direction, notice, consent, waiver, amendment or modification hereunder, or relying upon any
such quorum, consent or vote, only Securities which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows
to be held by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall not be considered outstanding.



     If a Security is replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.10, it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held
by a bona fide purchaser.



     If the Paying Agent segregates (to the extent required by this Indenture) and holds in trust,
in accordance with this Indenture, at Stated Maturity, money sufficient to pay all principal and
interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be maturing,
as the case may be, and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the
Securityholders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date
such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to
accrue.



     Section 2.12. Temporary Securities. In the event that Definitive Securities are to be
issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery,
the Company may prepare and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate
temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive
Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.
Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and upon receipt of a Company Order the
Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities. After the preparation of Definitive Securities,
the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for Definitive Securities upon surrender of the
temporary Securities at any office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose and such
exchange shall be 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 make
available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more Definitive Securities representing an
equal principal amount of Securities. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Securities shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of Definitive
Securities.



     Section 2.13. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the
Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and
no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment
or cancellation and dispose of such Securities in accordance with its internal policies and
customary procedures including delivery of a certificate describing such Securities disposed
(subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) or deliver canceled Securities
to the Company pursuant to written direction by an Officer. The Company may not issue new
Securities to replace Securities it has paid for or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for
any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange.



19









 





     At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Security have either been exchanged for
Definitive Securities, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Security shall
be returned by DTC to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any
time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for
Definitive Securities, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Security,
redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global
Security shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee
(if it is then the Securities Custodian for such Global Security) or other Securities Custodian
with respect to such Global Security, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, to reflect such
reduction.



     Section 2.14. Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Interest (including any
Additional 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 such Security (or one or
more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for
such payment as provided in Section 2.01.



     Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and
payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30 days, shall forthwith cease to be payable
to the Holder on the Regular Record Date, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful)
interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Securities (such defaulted interest
and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the Company,
at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:



     (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose
names the Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of
the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date (not less than
30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), and at
the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate
amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money
when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted
Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a record date (the “Special
Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and
not less than 10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after
the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Company,
shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 12.02,
not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the



20









 







proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest
Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special
Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer
be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).



     (b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest 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, if, after notice given by the
Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment
shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.



     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14, 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 (including any Additional Interest) accrued and unpaid, and to
accrue, which were carried by such other Security.



     Section 2.15. Computation of Interest. Interest (including any Additional Interest)
on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.



     Section 2.16. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use
“CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use); provided, however, that
neither the Company nor the Trustee makes any representation as to the correctness of CUSIP or ISIN
numbers as printed on any Security or any notice to Holders, and any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities
and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities.
No notice or exchange shall be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP or ISIN numbers.
The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN
numbers.



ARTICLE 3

COVENANTS




     Section 3.01. Payment of Securities. The Company shall promptly pay the principal of
and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities on the dates and in the manner
provided in the Securities and in this Indenture. Principal and interest (including any Additional
Interest) shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent
holds in accordance with this Indenture immediately available funds sufficient to pay all principal
and interest (including any Additional Interest) then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as
the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Securityholders on that date
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.



21









 





     The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the
Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the
extent lawful.



     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Company may, to the
extent it is required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by
the United States of America from principal or interest (including any Additional Interest)
payments hereunder.



     Section 3.02. Financial Statements. The Company shall file with the Trustee within
30 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual
reports and information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of the foregoing
as the Commission may prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. If the Company is not required to file information,
documents or reports pursuant to either of those sections, then the Company shall provide to the
Trustee such reports as may be prescribed to be filed by the Company by the Commission at such
time. To the extent the Company has filed such information with the Commission through the
Commission’s EDGAR system, or any successor system employed by the Commission, the Company shall be
deemed to have complied with this Section 3.02.



     Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).



     Section 3.03. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in New York,
New York, an office or agency where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment,
where, if applicable, the Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be served. The agency of the Trustee (the “Agent”) currently located in New York,
New York shall be such office or agency of the Company, unless the Company shall designate and
maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes. The Company will give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency.
If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail
to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Agent of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the
Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.



     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or
outside of New York, New York) where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all
such purposes and may from time to time rescind any such



22









 







designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall
in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in New York,
New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency.



     Section 3.04. Corporate Existence. Except as otherwise provided in Article 4 and
Section 9.02(b), the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep
in full force and effect its corporate existence.



     Section 3.05. Reserved.



     Section 3.06. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within
120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officers’ Certificate, one of the
signers of which shall be the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal
accounting officer of the Company, stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of
their duties as Officers of the Company they would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event
of Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred
during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default,
its status and the action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The
Company also shall comply with TIA § 314(a)(4).



     Section 3.07. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company
will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably
necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.



     Section 3.08. Statement by Officers as to Default. The Company shall deliver to the
Trustee, within 30 days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default
or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default,
an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or Default, its status
and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.



     Section 3.09. Additional Interest. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in
any context, the payment of the principal of or interest on, or in respect of, any Security, such
mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Interest provided for in
Section 5.02 hereof to the extent that, in such context, Additional Interest is, was or would be
payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of the Securities and express mention of the
payment of Additional Interest (if applicable) in any provisions hereof or thereof shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Interest in those provisions hereof or thereof where such
express mention is not made.



     If Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof, the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to that effect stating



23









 







 (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such
Additional Interest is payable. Unless and until a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives such a
certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Additional Interest is payable. If the
Company has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.



ARTICLE 4

SUCCESSOR COMPANY




     Section 4.01. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets. The Company shall not
consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its
properties and assets to, another Person, unless:



     (a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”), if not the
Company shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America,
any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company (if not the Company) shall
expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form
satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this
Indenture;



     (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing; and



     (c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture,
if any, comply with this Indenture.



     For purposes of this Section 4.01, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer, or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of
the Company, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries,
would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a
consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the
properties and assets of the Company.



     The predecessor Company will be released from its obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities, and the Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Securities, but, in the case of
a lease of all or substantially all its assets, the predecessor Company will not be released from
the obligation to pay the principal of and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the
Securities.



     In the case of a Subsidiary of the Company that merges with and into the Company, the Company
will not be required to comply with Sections 4.01(b) or 4.01(c).

ARTICLE 5

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES




     Section 5.01. Events of Default. Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:



     (a) default in any payment of interest or Additional Interest on any Security when the same
becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;



     (b) default in the payment of the principal of any Security when the same becomes due and
payable at its Stated Maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise;



     (c) failure by the Company to comply with its obligation to convert the Securities into cash
or a combination of cash and Common Stock, as applicable, upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion
right and such failure continues for a period of three Business Days after there has been given,
and received by the Company, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or by
such Holder, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and
stating that such notice is a “notice of default” under this Indenture;



     (d) failure by the Company to give a Company Notice to Holders in the event of a Fundamental
Change as required pursuant to Section 10.02(a) or notice to Holders required pursuant to Section
11.01(a)(iii), in each case when due;



     (e) default in the performance of or a breach by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor of
any other covenant or agreement in this Indenture or under the Securities (other than those
referred to in Section 5.01(a) through Section 5.01(d) above or Section 5.01(f) through Section
5.01(i) below) and such default continues for 90 days after the Company’s receipt of the notice
specified below;



     (f) default by the Company or Newmont USA Limited with respect to any Material Indebtedness,
whether such Material Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, (i) resulting in such
indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would
otherwise become due and payable or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal of any such
indebtedness when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon
declaration or otherwise; provided, that any event of default under either of the foregoing clauses
(i) and (ii) shall be deemed cured and not to be continuing upon the payment of such indebtedness
or the rescission or annulment of any acceleration of such indebtedness;



     (g) the Company or Newmont USA Limited commences a voluntary case under any applicable
Bankruptcy Law, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any
Bankruptcy Law, or consents to the appointment or taking possession by a Custodian of the Company
or Newmont USA Limited, respectively, or



25









 







for all or substantially all its property, or makes any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors;



     (h) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a decree or order for relief in respect of the
Company or Newmont USA Limited in an involuntary case under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or
appointing a Custodian of the Company or Newmont USA Limited, respectively, or for all or
substantially all of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and
such decree or order remains unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or



     (i) except as permitted by this Indenture, (i) the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be held in any
judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full
force and effect, or (ii) the Subsidiary Guarantor shall deny or disaffirm its obligation under the
Subsidiary Guarantee.



     The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of
Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant
to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Default under clause (e) of this Section 5.01 will not
constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee delivers to the Company, or the Holders of 25% or
more in principal amount of the outstanding Securities deliver to the Company and the Trustee, a
written notice specifying such Default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice
is a “notice of default” under the Indenture and the Company does not cure such Default within the
time specified in clause (e) of this Section 5.01 after receipt of such notice.



     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after it becomes aware of the
occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Default or Event
of Default under clauses (d), (f), (g), or (h) of this Section 5.01, which notice shall contain the
status thereof and a description of the action being taken or proposed to be taken by the Company
in respect thereof.



     Section 5.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in Section 5.01(g) or 5.01(h) above) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to
the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in outstanding principal amount of the outstanding
Securities by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such
Holders shall, declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional
Interest, if any, on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such
principal and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall be due and payable
immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(g) or 5.01(h) above occurs and is
continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if
any, on all the Securities outstanding shall be immediately due and payable with no further action
by the Trustee or the Holders.




26











 





     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent elected by the Company, the
sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with the
obligation set forth in Section 3.02 and for any failure to comply with §314(a)(1) of the TIA, will
for the first 120 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the
right for Holders to receive Additional Interest on the Securities equal to 0.25% per annum of the
principal amount of the Securities. If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest will be
payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Securities.
The Additional Interest will accrue on all outstanding Securities from and including the date on
which such Event of Default first occurs to but not including the 120th day thereafter (or such
earlier date on which such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived). On such 120th day
after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to such obligation is not cured or
waived prior to such 120th day), such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and the Securities
will be subject to acceleration as provided above. The provisions of this paragraph will not
affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the
event the Company does not elect to pay the Additional Interest upon such Event of Default in
accordance with this paragraph, the Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided above.



     In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 120 days
after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with
the obligation set forth in Section 3.02 or any failure to comply with §314(a)(1) of the TIA in
accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company must notify all Holders, the
Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election by delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
pursuant to Section 3.09 on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of
Default first occurs. Upon the Company’s failure to deliver such Officers’ Certificate or pay the
Additional Interest specified in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Securities will be
subject immediately to acceleration as provided above.



     Section 5.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest
(including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Securities or this Indenture.



     The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or
does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any
Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair
the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. Except as
otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
wrongfully taken Securities in the last paragraph of Section 2.10, no remedy is exclusive of any
other remedy, and all available remedies are cumulative.



     Section 5.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities by notice to the Trustee may (a) waive, by their



27









 







consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or
tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities), an existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences except (i) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or
interest (including any Additional Interest) on a Security or (ii) a Default or Event of Default in
respect of a provision that under Section 8.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each
Securityholder affected and (b) rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and
its consequences if (i) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
principal of and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities that have become
due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. When a Default or Event
of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.



     Section 5.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.
However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture
or, subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the
rights of other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability;
provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.



     Section 5.06. Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 5.07, a Securityholder may not
pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:



     (a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee notice stating that an Event of Default is
continuing;



     (b) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have requested
that the Trustee pursue the remedy;



     (c) such Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance with such request;



     (d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request
and the offer of security or indemnity; and



     (e) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have not given
the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request
within such 60-day period.



     A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder
or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder.



28









 





     Section 5.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 5.06), the right of any Holder
to receive payment of principal of or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the
Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities,
or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall
not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.



     Section 5.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in
clauses (a) or (b) of Section 5.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in
its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due
and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) to the
extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 6.07.



     Section 5.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of
claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Company, its Subsidiaries or its or their respective creditors or
properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may be entitled and empowered
to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter, and may
vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing
similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make 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 for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its
counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.07.



     Section 5.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to
this Article 5, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:




     FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.07;




     SECOND: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal
and interest (including any Additional Interest), ratably, without preference or priority
of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and
interest, respectively; and




     THIRD: to the Company.



     The Trustee may fix a Record Date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant
to this Section 5.10. At least 15 days before such Record Date, the Company shall mail to each
Securityholder and the Trustee a notice that states the Record Date, the payment date and amount to
be paid.



29









 





     Section 5.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has
instituted a proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and the proceeding has
been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or
to the Holder, then, subject to any determination in the proceeding, the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted.



     Section 5.12. Undertaking of Costs. 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 or omitted by
it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in
the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the
party litigant. This Section 5.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Company,
a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in outstanding
principal amount of the Securities.



ARTICLE 6

TRUSTEE




     Section 6.01.
Duties 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; provided that if an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders
have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against loss,
liability or expense that might be incurred in compliance with such request or direction.



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




     (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and




     (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates, opinions or orders furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates, opinions or
orders which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or
not they conform to the



30









 






requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).



     (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:




     (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01;




     (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Trust Officer of the Trustee unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.05.

Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.



     (f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.



     (g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.



     (h) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01 and to
the provisions of the TIA.



     (i) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction
or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.



     Section 6.02. Rights of Trustee. Subject to Section 6.01:



     (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document (whether in its original or facsimile
form) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee
shall receive and retain financial reports and statements of the Company as provided herein, but
shall have no duty to review or



31









 







analyze such reports or statements to determine compliance under covenants or other
obligations of the Company.



     (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate
and/or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to

constitutes willful misconduct or negligence.



     (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of
counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Securities shall be full
and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or
suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such
counsel.



     (f) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential
loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) resulting
from actions taken in good faith and which the Trustee believes to be authorized or within its
rights or powers, unless the Trustee’s conduct constitutes willful misconduct or negligence.



     (g) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, Securities
Custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.



     (h) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of
individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to
this Indenture.



     (i) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document,
but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
or matters as it may see fit.



     (j) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any
event which is in fact such a default is received by the



32









 







Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and
this Indenture.



     (k) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of
individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to
this Indenture.



     Section 6.03. Individual 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, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Trustee must comply with Sections 6.10 and 6.11. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to
engage in transactions with the Company; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any
conflicting interest the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such
conflicting interest, (ii) apply to the SEC for permission to continue acting as Trustee or
(iii) resign.



     Section 6.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and
makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, shall
not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, shall not be
responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the
Trustee and shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any
document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication.



     Section 6.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is
continuing and if a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall
mail by first class mail to each Securityholder at the address set forth in the Securities Register
notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a
Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest (including any Additional
Interest) on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its Board of
Directors, a committee of its Board of Directors or a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders.



     Section 6.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as practicable after each
June 15 beginning with the June 15 following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to
August 1 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of
such June 15 that complies with TIA §313(a), if required by such TIA §313(a). The Trustee also
shall comply with TIA §§313(b) and 313(d). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports
required by TIA §313(c).



     Section 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from
time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the
Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall
not be limited by any law on compensation of



33









 







a trustee of an express trust. In addition to the compensation, the Company shall reimburse
the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it. Such
expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company shall indemnify
the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their agents for, and hold them harmless against any and
all loss, liability, damages, claims or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses
and taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee))
incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its part in connection with the administration of
this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of
enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 6.07) and of defending itself against any claims
(whether asserted by any Securityholder, the Company or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the
Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify
the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend
the claim and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the
defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of
such counsel, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it
assumes the Trustee’s defense, and, in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee, (i) there is no
conflict of interest between the Company and the Trustee in connection with such defense or (ii)
there are legal defenses available to the Trustee that are different from or are in addition to
those available to the Company or if all parties commonly represented do not agree as to the action
(or inaction) of counsel. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss,
liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith.



     To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than
money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest (including any Additional
Interest) on particular Securities. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 6.07 shall
not be subordinate to any other unsecured liability or debt of the Company.



     The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of
this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in
clauses (g) and (h) and Section 5.01 with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.



     Section 6.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so
notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove
the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:



     (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10;



34









 





     (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;



     (c) a receiver or other 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 by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any
reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.



     A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to 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
Securityholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee
to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 6.07.



     If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns
or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the
Securities may petition, at the Company’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.



     If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is
stayed as provided in TIA §310(b), any Securityholder may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.



     Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08, the Company’s
obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.



     Section 6.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges
or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to,
another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation
without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.



     In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the
Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Securities shall have
been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate
of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in
case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the
Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the
name of the successor to the



35









 







Trustee; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee or authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall only
apply to its successor or successors by merger, consolidation or conversion.



     Section 6.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy
the requirements of TIA §310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee
shall comply with TIA §310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from
the operation of TIA §310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or
certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the
requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA §310(b)(1) are met.



     Section 6.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall
comply with TIA §311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §311(b). A Trustee who
has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA §311(a) to the extent indicated.



     Section 6.12. Trustee’s Application for Instruction from the Company. Any application
by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set
forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and
the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with
a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which
date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any Officer of the Company actually
receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier
date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission),
the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the
action to be taken or omitted.



ARTICLE 7

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE




     Section 7.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities. When (1) the Company shall
deliver to the Registrar for cancellation all Securities theretofore authenticated (other than any
Securities which have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken and in lieu of or in
substitution for which other Securities shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not
theretofore canceled, or (2) all the Securities not theretofore canceled or delivered to the
Registrar for cancellation shall have (a) been deposited for conversion (after all related
Observation Periods have elapsed) and the Company shall deliver to the Trustee or the Holders cash
and shares of Common Stock, as applicable, sufficient to pay all amounts owing in respect of all
Securities (other than any Securities which shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or
wrongfully taken and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Securities shall have been
authenticated and delivered) not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Registrar for

36









 







the Stated Maturity, or Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as applicable, and the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee cash sufficient to pay all amounts owing in respect of all Securities
(other than any Securities which shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken and
in lieu of or in substitution for which other Securities shall have been authenticated and
delivered) not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Registrar for cancellation, including the
principal amount and interest (including any Additional Interest) accrued and unpaid to such Stated
Maturity or Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be, and if in either case (1) or (2)
the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company,
then this Indenture with respect to the Securities shall cease to be of further effect (except as
to (i) remaining rights of registration of transfer, substitution and exchange and conversion of
Securities; (ii) rights hereunder of Holders to receive payments of the amounts then due, including
interest (including any Additional Interest) with respect to the Securities and the other rights,
duties and obligations of Holders, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any, so
deposited with the Trustee; and (iii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee,
Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar under this Indenture with
respect to the Securities), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as required by Section 7.03 and at the cost and expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this
Indenture with respect to the Securities; the Company, however, hereby agrees to reimburse the
Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar for any costs or
expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying
Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar and to compensate the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying
Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered
by the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar in connection
with this Indenture with respect to the Securities.



     Section 7.02. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply
any money to the Holders entitled thereto by reason of any order or judgment of any court of
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Securities and the Securities shall
be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 7.01 until such
time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with
this Indenture and the Securities to the Holders entitled thereto; provided,
however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal amount of or interest
(including any Additional Interest) on any Securities following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to
receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.



     Section 7.03. Officers’ Certificate; Opinion of Counsel. Upon any application or
demand by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under Section 7.01, 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



37









 







complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all
such conditions precedent have been complied with.



     Each certificate or Opinion of Counsel provided for in this Indenture and delivered to the
Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant pursuant to the previous paragraph
shall include: (1) a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has read such
covenant or condition; (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation upon which the statement or opinion contained in such certificate or opinion is
based; (3) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, such Person has made such examination
or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not
such covenant or condition has been complied with; and (4) a statement as to whether or not, in the
opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.



ARTICLE 8

AMENDMENTS




     Section 8.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor, if
any, and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities without notice to or consent of any
Securityholder:



     (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;



     (b) to comply with Article 4 and Section 9.02 in respect of the assumption by a Successor
Company of an obligation of the Company or a successor Person of an obligation of the Subsidiary
Guarantor under this Indenture;



     (c) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated
Securities; provided, however, that the uncertificated Securities are issued in
registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that the
uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code;



     (d) to add guarantees with respect to the Securities;



     (e) to secure the Securities;



     (f) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any
right or power herein conferred upon the Company;



     (g) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant
to this Indenture



     (h) comply with the provisions of any clearing agency, clearing corporation or clearing
system, the Trustee or the Registrar with respect to the provisions of this Indenture or the
Securities relating to transfers and exchanges of Securities;



38









 





     (i) provide for the conversion of the Securities in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture;



     (j) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this
Indenture under the TIA;



     (k) to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any
Securityholder; or



     (l) to conform the provisions of this Indenture to the “Description of Notes” Section of the
Prospectus Supplement.



     After an amendment under this Section 8.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to
Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all
Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment
under this Section 8.01.



     Section 8.02. With Consent of Holders. The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor, if any,
and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any Securityholder but
with the written or electronic consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the Securities then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection
with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities) and compliance with the
provisions of this Indenture may be waived with the written or electronic consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for,
Securities). However, without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver
may not:



     (a) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment;



     (b) reduce the rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest, including Additional
Interest, on any Security;



     (c) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Security;



     (d) make any change that adversely affects the conversion rights of any Securities;



     (e) reduce the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Security or amend or modify in any
manner adverse to the holders of the Securities the Company’s obligation to make such payment,
whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise;



     (f) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Security (it being
understood that all references to cash in this Indenture and the Securities are to



39









 







U.S. legal tender) or, other than in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture in
effect on the Issue Date, eliminate any existing Subsidiary Guarantee of the Securities;



     (g) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest (including
any Additional Interest) on such Holder’s Securities on or after the due dates therefor or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Securities;
or



     (h) make any change to this Section 8.02 or Section 5.04.



     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture by any
Holder of the Securities given in connection with a tender or exchange of such Holder’s Securities
will not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange.



     After an amendment under this Section 8.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to
Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all
Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment
under this Section 8.02.



     Section 8.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture
or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.



     Section 8.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an
amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder
of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s
Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or
portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the
amendment or waiver becomes effective or otherwise in accordance with any related solicitation
documents. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder. An
amendment or waiver under Section 8.02 shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the
requisite number of written or electronic consents under Section 8.02. An amendment pursuant to
Section 8.01 shall become effective upon execution thereof by the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantor, if any, and the Trustee.



     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a Record Date for the purpose of
determining the Securityholders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described
above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a Record Date is fixed,
then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Securityholders at
such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to
give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or
not such Persons continue to be



40









 







Holders after such record date. No such consent shall become valid or effective more than 120
days after such record date.



     Section 8.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment changes the
terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the
Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms
and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the
Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security
that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new
Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment.



     Section 8.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment
authorized pursuant to this Article 8 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights,
duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign
it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02) shall be fully protected
in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor, if applicable, enforceable against them in
accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof
(including Section 8.03).



ARTICLE 9

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE




     Section 9.01. Subsidiary Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby fully and
unconditionally guarantees, on an unsubordinated basis, as primary obligor and not merely as
surety, to each Holder of the Securities and the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of the principal of and interest, including any
Additional Interest, on the Securities and all other obligations and liabilities of the Company
under this Indenture (including without limitation interest (including any Additional Interest)
accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency,
reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor whether or
not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) (all the
foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Obligations”). The Subsidiary Guarantor
further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in
whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under
this Article 9 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.



     The Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the
Company of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Subsidiary
Guarantor waives notice of any Default under the Securities or the Obligations. The obligations of
the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder



41









 







shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the
Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof;
(c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this
Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any
Holder or the Trustee for the Obligations or any of them; or (e) any change in the ownership of the
Company.



     The Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein constitutes a
Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require
that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Obligations.



     The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full
or pursuant to Sections 9.02 and 9.03 hereof), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender,
alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment or termination whatsoever (other than payment of the Obligations in full or pursuant to
Sections 9.02 and 9.03 hereof) or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of
the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of
the Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be (to the extent permitted by law) discharged or
impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or
modification of any thereof, by any Default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the
performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other
act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Subsidiary
Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law
or equity.



     The Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall remain in full
force and effect until payment in full of all the Obligations or until such Subsidiary Guarantor is
released from its Subsidiary Guarantee upon the merger or the sale of all the Common Stock or
assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor in compliance with Section 9.02, or upon its release from the
Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to Section 9.03. The Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that unless
its Subsidiary Guarantee has been released pursuant to Section 9.02 or Section 9.03, its Subsidiary
Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest (including any Additional Interest),
on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.



     In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has
at law or in equity against the Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the
Company to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise, the Subsidiary Guarantor hereby



42









 







promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause
to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such
Obligations then due and owing and (ii) without duplication of any amounts included in the
preceding clause (i), accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) on such
Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).



     The Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one
hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may
be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Subsidiary Guarantee herein,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect
of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration
of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due
and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee.



     The Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee in enforcing any rights
under this Section 9.01.



     Section 9.02. Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge Upon Merger or
Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor; Termination
on Conversion. (a) The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder will be limited to
the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of
such Subsidiary Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees of other indebtedness of
the Company), result in the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee
not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not
otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally.



     (b) Subject to the penultimate paragraph of Section 4.01, the Subsidiary Guarantor may
consolidate with or merge into or sell all or substantially all of its assets to any Person
(including, without limitation, the Company) without limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Subsidiary Guarantor shall not merge or consolidate with any Affiliate of the Company, or sell
or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets, in one
transaction or a series of related transactions, to any Affiliate of the Company, unless:




     (A) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if not
the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor) or to whom such sale is made (if not the
Company) (i) is a corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State
thereof or the District of Columbia and (ii) assumes all the obligations of the
Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental
indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and



43









 






     (B) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee stating that such consolidation, merger
or transfer and such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture.


The preceding clauses (A) and (B) shall not apply to any merger or consolidation of the Subsidiary
Guarantor with the Company or with any Person other than an Affiliate of the Company, or to any
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor, in
one transaction or a series of related transactions, to the Company or to any Person other than an
Affiliate of the Company



The Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed released from all of its obligations under this Indenture
and its Subsidiary Guarantee, and its Subsidiary Guarantee will terminate, without any action
required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Securities, upon the sale or other
disposition of a majority of the total voting power of the capital stock of or other ownership
interests in the Subsidiary Guarantor entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (by
merger, consolidation, the sale or other disposition of the capital stock of or other ownership
interests in the Subsidiary Guarantor, or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related
transactions, to any Person other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.



The Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed released from all of its obligations under this Indenture
and its Subsidiary Guarantee, and its Subsidiary Guarantee will terminate, without any action
required on the part of the trustee or any Holder of the Securities, upon the sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person other than the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company. Each Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to a Security will automatically
terminate when the Security is converted.




     (c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed released from all its obligations under this
Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee and such Subsidiary Guarantee will terminate upon the
discharge of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 hereof. At the request of the
Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents, instructions or instruments
evidencing the consent of the Holders to any release in accordance with this Article 9.



     Section 9.03. Release of the Subsidiary Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantor will be
deemed released from all of its obligations under this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee, and
its Subsidiary Guarantee will terminate, without any action required on the part of the Trustee or
any Holder of the Securities, upon such time as the Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to guarantee the
indebtedness of the Company other than indebtedness not exceeding $75,000,000 in the aggregate (it
being understood that indebtedness of the Company that is guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantor
and that also provides that the guarantee of the Subsidiary Guarantor under such indebtedness shall
be released and relieved upon such time as the Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to guaranty any of the
Company’s indebtedness other than indebtedness not exceeding $75,000,000 or more in the aggregate
shall not be considered in calculating the amount of indebtedness

hereunder). Accordingly, if the lenders under the Company’s indebtedness in excess of
$75,000,000 in the aggregate that is guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantor agree to release the
Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee of such indebtedness in excess of $75,000,000 in the
aggregate, or the Company’s indebtedness in excess of $75,000,000 in the aggregate that is
guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantor is repaid in full, the Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed
released from all of its obligations under this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee, and its
Subsidiary Guarantee will terminate, without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder of the Securities.



     Section 9.04. Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by
the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, the Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated
to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Company or any collateral security or
guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Obligations,
nor shall any Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement
from the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Company on
account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary
Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not
have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the
Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall,
forthwith upon receipt by such Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact
form received by such Subsidiary Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Subsidiary Guarantor to the
Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations. Upon the payment in full of the
Obligations, the Subsidiary Guarantor will be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Securities
against the Company in respect of any amount paid by the Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the
Subsidiary Guarantee.



ARTICLE 10

PURCHASE AT OPTION OF

HOLDER UPON A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE




     Section 10.01. Purchase at the Option of the Holder Upon a Fundamental Change. If a
Fundamental Change occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option,
to require the Company to purchase any or all of the Holder’s Securities, or any portion of the
principal amount thereof, that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 at a purchase
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be purchased plus accrued and
unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, to but excluding the Fundament Change
Purchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Price”); provided that, if the Fundamental
Change Purchase Date occurs after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding
interest payment date, the Company shall pay accrued and unpaid interest plus Additional Interest,
if any, to but excluding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date to the record Holder on the Regular
Record Date corresponding to such interest payment date and the Fundamental Change repurchase price
payable to the Holder who presents the Security for repurchase will be 100% of the principal amount
of such Security. The Fundamental



45









 







Change Purchase Date shall be a date specified by the Company no later than the 35th calendar
day following the date of the Company Notice delivered in connection with such Fundamental Change
(subject to extension to comply with applicable law, as provided in Section 10.02(d)) (the
“Fundamental Change Purchase Date”). Any Securities purchased by the Company shall be paid for in
cash.



     (a) Notice of Fundamental Change. The Company, or at its request (which must be received by
the Trustee at least three Business Days (or such lesser period as agreed to by the Trustee) prior
to the date the Trustee is requested to mail such notice as described below) the Trustee, in the
name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail to all Holders and the Trustee a Company
Notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and of the purchase right arising as a result
thereof, including the information required by Section 10.02(a) hereof, on or before the 20th
calendar day after the occurrence of such Fundamental Change. The Company shall promptly furnish
to the Paying Agent a copy of such Company Notice.



     (b) Exercise of Option. For a Security to be so purchased at the option of the Holder, the
Holder must deliver, on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change
Purchase Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law, the Securities to be purchased,
duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written purchase notice (a “Fundamental Change Purchase
Notice”) in the form entitled “Form of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice” on the reverse side of
the Securities duly completed, to the Paying Agent. The Fundamental Change Purchase Notice shall
state:




     (i) if certificated, the certificate numbers of the Holder’s Securities to be
delivered for purchase;




     (ii) the portion of the principal amount of the Securities to be purchased, which
portion must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and




     (iii) that such Securities shall be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase
Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in paragraph 3 of the Securities and in
this Indenture.



     (c) Procedures. The Company shall purchase from a Holder on the Fundamental Change Purchase
Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law, pursuant to this Section 10.01,
Securities if the principal amount of such Securities is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000
if so requested by such Holder.



     Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.01
shall be consummated by the delivery of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price to be received by the
Holder promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the time of
book-entry transfer or delivery of the Securities.



46









 





     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 or the Trustee all cash held by the
Paying Agent for the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and shall notify the Trustee
of any Default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the cash 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 deliver all cash held
by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon doing so,
the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the cash delivered to the Trustee.



     Section 10.02. Further Conditions and Procedures for Purchase at the Option of the Holder
Upon a Fundamental Change.



     (a) Notice of Fundamental Change. The Company shall send notices (each, a “Company
Notice”) to the Holders (and to Beneficial Owners as required by applicable law) at their addresses
shown in the Securities Register maintained by the Registrar, and delivered to the Trustee and
Paying Agent, on or before the 20th calendar day after the occurrence of the Fundamental Change
(each such date of delivery, a “Company Notice Date”). Each Company Notice shall include a form of
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice to be completed by a Holder and shall state:




     (i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;




     (ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;




     (iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise its repurchase rights under
Section 10.01;




     (iv) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;




     (v) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;




     (vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;




     (vii) the applicable Conversion Rate and, if applicable, any adjustments to the
applicable Conversion Rate;




     (viii) that the Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice
has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and




     (ix) the procedures the Holder must follow to require the Company to purchase its
Securities under Section 10.01.



47









 





     Simultaneously with providing such Company Notice, the Company will publish a notice
containing the information in such Company Notice in a newspaper of general circulation in The City
of New York or publish such information on its then existing website or through such other public
medium as it may use at the time.



     At the Company’s request, made at least three Business Days (or such lesser period as agreed
to by the Trustee) prior to the date upon which such notice is to be mailed, and at the Company’s
expense, the Trustee shall give the Company Notice in the Company’s name; provided,
however, that, in all cases, the text of the Company Notice shall be prepared by the
Company.



     (b) Effect of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice; Withdrawal; Effect of Event of
Default. Upon receipt by the Company of the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice specified in
Section 10.01(b) and the Securities to be purchased as provided in Section 10.01(b), the Holder of
the Securities in respect of which such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice was given shall (unless
such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in this Section 10.02(b))
thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such
Securities. Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid by the Paying Agent to such Holder
promptly following the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date with respect to such
Securities (provided the conditions in this Article 10 have been satisfied) and (y) the time of
delivery or book-entry transfer of such Securities to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the
manner required by Section 10.01. Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase
Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted on or after the date of the
delivery of such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice
has first been validly withdrawn as specified in this Section 10.02(b). Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Purchase
Notice contemplated by Section 10.02(b), shall have the right at any time prior to the close of
business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date to withdraw such
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice (in whole or in part) by delivery of a written notice of
withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 10.02(b).



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



     On or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the
Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is
acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) cash sufficient to pay the aggregate
Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities to be purchased pursuant to Section 10.01. If
the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, cash sufficient to pay the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price of such Securities on the second Business Day after the
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then (i) the Securities tendered for purchase and not withdrawn
shall cease to be outstanding and interest, including Additional Interest, if



48









 







any, shall cease to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of such Securities is made or
whether or not the Security is delivered to the Paying Agent) on the Fundamental Change Purchase
Date; and (ii) all other rights of the Holders with respect to Securities tendered for purchase
will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon delivery
or transfer of the Securities). Nothing herein shall preclude any withholding tax required by law.



     A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the
Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. The notice of withdrawal shall state:




     (i) the principal amount of the withdrawn Securities;




     (ii) if Definitive Securities have been issued, the certificate numbers of the
withdrawn Securities, or if not certificated, the written notice of withdrawal must comply
with appropriate DTC procedures; and




     (iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Securities which remains subject to the
original Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.



     The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities with
respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this
Indenture.



     (c) Securities Purchased in Part. Any Securities that are 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 and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Securities, without service charge, a new
Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate
principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the
Securities so surrendered which is not purchased.



     (d) Covenant to Comply with Securities Laws Upon Purchase of Securities. In
connection with any offer to purchase Securities under Section 10.01, the Company shall, to the
extent applicable, (a) comply with Rules 13e-4 and 14e-1 (and any successor provisions thereto)
under the Exchange Act, if applicable; (b) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule,
form or report) under the Exchange Act, if applicable; and (c) otherwise comply with all applicable
federal and state securities laws To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture described in this Article 10, compliance
by the Company with such laws and regulations shall not in and of itself cause a breach of the
Company’s obligations described in this Article 10.



49









 





     (e) Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the
Company any cash or property that remains unclaimed, as provided in paragraph 7 of the Securities,
together with interest that the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, has expressly agreed
in writing to pay, if any, that is held by them for the payment of a Fundamental Change Purchase
Price; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash or
property deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 10.02(b), as applicable, exceeds the
aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof which the Company
is obligated to purchase as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then promptly on and after the
second Business Day following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Trustee and the Paying
Agent shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest that the Trustee or Paying
Agent, as the case may be, has expressly agreed in writing to pay, if any.



     (f) Officers’ Certificate. At least three Business Days (or such lesser period as
agreed to by the Trustee) before the Company Notice Date, the Company shall deliver an Officers’
Certificate to the Trustee specifying whether the Company desires the Trustee to give the Company
Notice required by Section 10.02(a) herein.



ARTICLE 11

CONVERSION




     Section 11.01. Conversion of Securities.



     (a) Right to Convert. Subject to the procedures for conversion set forth in this
Article 11, a Holder may convert its Securities prior to the close of business on the third
Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding Stated Maturity at the Conversion Rate only when any of
the conditions specified below are met and during the related specified period. Whenever the
Securities shall become convertible upon one or more of the conditions stated below, the Company
or, at the Company’s request, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall
notify the Holders of the event triggering such convertibility in the manner provided in
Section 12.02, and the Company shall also publicly announce such information by publication on the
Company’s website or through such other public medium as it may use at such time. Any notice so
given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives
such notice. Upon conversion, the Holder will not receive any separate cash payment for accrued
and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, unless such conversion occurs between a
regular Record Date and the interest payment date to which it relates.




     (i) Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Sale Price Condition. Prior to January 1,
2012, a Holder may surrender all or a portion of its Securities for conversion during any
fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) commencing after March 31, 2009 if the
Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days during the period
of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding
fiscal quarter



50









 






is greater than or equal to 130% of the Conversion Price in effect on such last
Trading Day.




     (ii) Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Trading Price Condition. Prior to January
1, 2012, a Holder may surrender its Securities for conversion during the five Business Day
period after any 10 consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the
Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, as determined following a request
by a Holder in accordance with the procedures described herein, for each day of that
Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the
Company’s Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. In connection with any conversion upon
satisfaction of the above trading price condition, the Trustee shall have no obligation to
determine the Trading Price of the Securities unless the Company has requested such
determination; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a
Holder of a Security provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price
per $1,000 principal amount of Securities would be less than 98% of the product of the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Company’s Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. At such time,
the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Securities
beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading
Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities is greater than or equal to 98% of the
product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Company’s Common Stock and Conversion Rate.
If at any time after the above trading price condition has been met with respect to the
Securities, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities is greater than 98%
of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Company’s Common Stock and the
Conversion Rate for such date, we will so notify holders of the Securities.




     “Trading Price” of the Securities on any date of determination means the
average of the secondary market bid quotations obtained by the Trustee for $5 million
principal amount of the Securities at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such
determination date from three independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected
by the Company; provided that, if three such bids cannot reasonably be obtained by the
Trustee but two such bids are obtained, then the average of the two bids shall be used, and
if only one such bid can reasonably be obtained by the Trustee, that one bid shall be used.
If the Trustee cannot reasonably obtain at least one bid for $5 million principal amount
of the Securities from any of such nationally recognized securities dealers on any day
during the Measurement Period, then the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of
Securities on such day will be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. If the Company does not
so instruct the Trustee to obtain bids when required, the Trading Price per $1,000
principal amount of the Securities will be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the
Last Reported Sale Price of the Company’s Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on each day
the Company has failed to do so.



51









 






     (iii) Conversion Upon Specified Corporate Transactions.




     (A) If the Company (1) distributes to holders of all or substantially all of
the Common Stock rights entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 60
days after the date of the distribution, shares of Common Stock at less than the
average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the 10
consecutive Trading-Day period ending on the Trading Day preceding the announcement
of such distribution, or (2) distributes to holders of all or substantially all the
Common Stock, the Company’s assets, debt securities or rights to purchase
securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably
determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported
Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the declaration date
for such distribution, then, in each case, the Company must notify the Holders, in
the manner provided in Section 12.02, at least 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to
the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. Once the Company has given such notice,
Holders may surrender Securities for conversion at any time until the earlier of
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to such
Ex-Dividend Date or the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take
place. Holders of the Securities may not exercise this right if they may
participate (as a result of holding the Securities, and at the same time as holders
of the Common Stock participate) in any of the transactions described above as if
such Holders of the Securities held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
applicable conversion rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in
thousands) of Securities held by such Holders, without having to convert their
Securities.




     (B) If the Company is party to a transaction that would be a Fundamental
Change described in clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change (without
giving effect to the paragraph following that definition) if it were to occur, the
Company must notify Holders, in the manner provided in Section 12.02, at least 35
Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date for such
transaction. Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender
Securities for conversion at any time until the earlier of (i) 35 calendar days
after the actual Effective Date of such transaction (or if such transaction also
constitutes a Fundamental Change, the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date, if
later) and (ii) the date the Company notifies Holders that such transaction has
been terminated and will not occur.




     (C) If a Fundamental Change of the type described in clause (1) in the
definition thereof occurs, Holders may surrender all or a portion of their
Securities for conversion at any time beginning on the actual Effective Date of
such Fundamental Change until and including the date



52









 






which is 35 calendar days after the actual Effective Date of such transaction
or, if later, until the Fundamental Change Purchase Date corresponding to such
Fundamental Change.




     (iv) Conversion Upon Delisting of the Common Stock. A Holder may surrender any
of its Securities for conversion at any time beginning on the first Business Day after our
Common Stock (or other capital stock or American Depositary Receipts into which the
Securities are then convertible pursuant to this Indenture) has ceased to be listed on a
United States national or regional securities exchange for a 30 consecutive Trading-Day
period.


On or after January 1, 2012, Holders may convert each of their Securities at any time prior to the
close of business on the third Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the maturity date
regardless of the foregoing conditions.




     (b) Conversion Procedures. The following procedures shall apply to convert Securities:




     (i) In respect of a Definitive Security, a Holder must (A) complete and manually sign
the conversion notice on the back of the Security, or a facsimile of such conversion
notice; (B) deliver such conversion notice, which is irrevocable, and the Security to the
Conversion Agent; (C) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents
as may be required by the Conversion Agent and, if required pursuant to Section 11.01(e)
below, pay all transfer or similar taxes; and (D) if required pursuant to Section 2.01(d)
above, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next interest payment date to which such
Holder is not entitled.




     (ii) In respect of a beneficial interest in a Global Security, a Beneficial Owner must
comply with DTC’s procedures for converting a beneficial interest in a Global Security and,
if required pursuant to Section 2.01(d) above, pay funds equal to interest payable on the
next interest payment date to which such Beneficial Owner is not entitled, and if required,
pay all taxes or duties required pursuant to Section 11.01(e) below, if any.


The date a Holder complies with the foregoing requirements is the “Conversion Date” hereunder.



A Holder may convert a portion of the Securities only if the principal amount of such portion is
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000




     If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the cash and Maximum Deliverable
Shares issuable upon the conversion (or, at the Company’s election as set forth in Section
11.01(c), in lieu of such Maximum Deliverable Shares, cash payable or any combination of cash
payable and Common Stock issuable upon the



53









 







conversion), if any, shall be based on the total principal amount of the Securities converted.



     If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in connection with a
Fundamental Change, with respect to a Security, the Holder may not surrender that Security for
conversion until the Holder has validly withdrawn the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in
accordance with this Indenture. Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver
to the Holder, a new Security in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the
unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.



     (c) Payment Upon Conversion. Upon any conversion of any Security, the Company will
deliver to Holders in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted a
“Settlement Amount” equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 25 Trading
Days during the Observation Period.



     “Daily Settlement Amount”, for each of the 25 Trading Days during the Observation
Period, shall consist of:




     (i) cash equal to the lesser of $40 and the Daily Conversion Value; and




     (ii) to the extent the Daily Conversion Value exceeds $40, at the election of the
Company, either (1) a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Deliverable Shares”)
equal to (A) the difference between the Daily Conversion Value and $40, divided by (B) the
Daily VWAP for the Common Stock (or the consideration into which the Common Stock has been
converted in connection with transactions to which Section 11.04 is applicable) for such
day, (2) cash equal to the difference between the Daily Conversion Value and $40, or (3)
any combination elected by the Company of shares of Common Stock and cash in an amount
equal to the excess of the Daily Conversion Value over $40.



     “Daily Conversion Value” means, for each of the 25 consecutive Trading Days during the
Observation Period, 1/25th of the product of (1) the applicable Conversion Rate and
(2) the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock (or the consideration into which the Common Stock has been
converted in connection with transactions to which Section 11.04 is applicable) on such day.



     “Daily VWAP” for the Common Stock (or other security for which a Daily VWAP must be
determined) means, for each of the 25 consecutive Trading Days during the Observation Period, the
per share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on
Bloomberg page “NEM.N <equity> AQR” (or its equivalent successor if such page is not
available or the equivalent page for such other security as determined by the Company) in respect
of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the
primary trading session on such



54









 







Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one
share of Common Stock (or other security for which a Daily VWAP must be determined) on such Trading
Day as determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by a nationally recognized independent
banking firm retained for such purpose by the Company. Daily VWAP will be determined without
regard to after hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours.



     “Scheduled Trading Day” means a day that is scheduled to be a Trading Day on the
primary United States national or regional securities exchange or market on which the Common Stock
is listed or admitted to trading. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to trading,
“Scheduled Trading Day” means a “Business Day”.



     If the Company elects to pay cash in lieu of delivering all or a portion of the Maximum
Deliverable Shares with respect to a Security surrendered for conversion, the Company will notify
the Holder of such Security through the Trustee of the percentage of each share issuable upon
conversion of such Securities that will be paid in cash in lieu of the Common Stock (the “Cash
Percentage”) at any time on or before the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately
after the related Conversion Date. If the Company elects to settle all or any portion of the
Maximum Deliverable Shares in cash in connection with all conversions of the Securities on or after
January 1, 2012, the Company will send, on or prior to the second Scheduled Trading Day prior to
January 1, 2012, a single notice for all such conversions of the Securities to the Trustee with
respect to the Cash Percentage that will be paid in cash in lieu of the Common Stock



     The Settlement Amount in respect of any Security converted will be delivered to converting
Holders on the third Business Day immediately following the last day of the Observation Period for
such Security.



     (d) Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue
fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities. Instead the Company shall deliver
cash for the current market value of the fractional share. The current market value of a
fractional share shall be determined to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share by multiplying the Daily
VWAP of a full share of Common Stock on the final Trading Day of the related Observation Period by
the fractional amount and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent. The Company’s delivery
to the Holder of the full Settlement Amount as determined in accordance with Section 11.01(c) in
cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, if applicable, together with any cash
payment for any fractional share, into which a Security is convertible, will be deemed to satisfy
in full the Company’s obligation to pay (i) the principal amount of the Security; and (ii) accrued
and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date.
As a result, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including,
the Conversion Date will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or
forfeited.



     Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if Securities are converted after 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on a Regular Record Date for the payment of interest, Holders



55









 







of such Securities at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Regular Record Date will receive
the interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on such Securities on the corresponding
interest payment date notwithstanding the conversion. Securities, upon surrender for conversion
during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Regular Record Date to 9:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the immediately following interest payment date, must be accompanied by funds
equal to the amount of interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on such interest payment
date on the Securities so converted; provided that no such payment need be made (i) for
conversions on or following January 1, 2012; (ii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change
Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest
payment date; or (iii) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the
time of conversion with respect to such Security.



     (e) Taxes on Conversion. If a Holder converts Securities, the Company shall pay any
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon
the 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 certificates 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 shall
be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, but the
Conversion Agent shall have no duty to determine if any such tax is due. Nothing herein shall
preclude any withholding of tax required by law.



     (f) Certain Covenants of the Company.




     (i) The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Securities hereunder, and from time to
time as may be necessary, reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or shares
of Common Stock held in treasury, sufficient number of shares of Common Stock, free of
preemptive rights, to permit the conversion of the Securities.




     (ii) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Securities shall be
newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse
claim.




     (iii) The Company shall endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state
securities laws regulating the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the
conversion of Securities, if any. The Company does not intend to list the Securities on a
national securities exchange or interdealer quotation system.




     (iv) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment increasing the
Conversion Rate to an amount that would cause the Conversion Price to be reduced below the
then par value per share of the Common Stock, if



56









 






any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities, the
Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be
necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common
Stock at such adjusted Conversion Rate.



     Section 11.02. Adjustments to Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted
from time to time by the Company as described below, except that the Company will not make any
adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Securities participate (as a result of holding
the Securities, and at the same time as holders of the Common Stock participate) in any of the
transactions described in this Section 11.02 as if such Holders of the Securities held a number of
shares of the Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal
amount (expressed in thousands) of Securities held by such Holders, without having to convert their
Securities:



     (a) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of
the Common Stock, or effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be
adjusted based on the following formula:








     where,




	 	CR0	 = 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend
Date of such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split
or share combination, as applicable
	 
	 	CR'	 =  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such Ex-Dividend
Date or effective date, as applicable
	 
	 	OS0 	 =  	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable
	 
	 	OS' 	 =  	 the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, after giving pro forma
effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination




Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day following the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or the date fixed for
determination for such share split or share combination. The Company will not pay any dividend or
make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in treasury by the Company. If any dividend
or distribution of the type described in this Section 11.02(a) is declared but not so paid or made,
the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if
such dividend or distribution had not been declared.




57









 








     (b) If the Company distributes to holders of all or substantially all the Common Stock any
rights or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 60 calendar days to subscribe for
or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported
Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Rate will be
adjusted based on the following formula:








     where,




	 	CR0 	 =   	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior the Ex-Dividend Date
for such distribution
	 	CR' 	 =   	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such Ex-Dividend
Date
	 	OS0 	 =   	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
such Ex-Dividend Date
	 	X 	 =   	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
such rights or warrants
	 	Y 	 =   	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price
payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the average of the Last
Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day
period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of
the distribution of such rights or warrants




Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued and
shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day
following the date fixed for such determination. The Company shall not issue any such rights,
options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in treasury by the Company. To the
extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or
warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in
effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis
of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights or
warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate
that would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed.




58









 








     In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at less than such Last Reported Sale Price, and in determining the aggregate
offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration
received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or
conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the
Company’s Board of Directors.



     (c) If the Company distributes shares of capital stock of the Company, evidences of its
indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company to holders of all or substantially all the
Common Stock, excluding:




     (i) dividends or distributions and rights or warrants referred to in clause (a) or (b)
above;




     (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and




     (iii) as described below in this subsection (c) with respect to Spin-Offs

then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:








     where,




	 	CR0 	 = 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend
Date for such distribution
	 
	 	CR' 	 = 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such Ex-Dividend
Date
	 
	 	SP0 	 = 	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over
the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution
	 
	 	FMV 	 = 	the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Company’s Board of
Directors) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or
property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the
Record Date for such distribution.




Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such distribution. With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (c) where there has been
a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in shares of capital stock of any
class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit
(a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate


59









 






in effect immediately prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the effective date of such
Spin-Off will be increased based on the following formula:









     where,




	 	CR0 	 =   	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the effective date of the Spin-Off
	 
	 	CR' 	 =   	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the effective date
of the Spin-Off
	 
	 	FMV0 	  =   	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the capital stock or
similar equity interest distributed to Holders of Common Stock applicable to one
share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading-Day period from, and
including, the effective date of the Spin-Off
	 
	 	MP0 	 =   	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the
first 10 consecutive Trading-Day period from, and including, the effective date of
the Spin-Off.




Such adjustment shall occur on the tenth Trading Day from, and including, the effective date of the
Spin-Off and shall be applied on a retroactive basis from, and including, the effective date of the
Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion occurring prior to the effective date of the
Spin-Off with respect to which the related Observation Period would conclude during the 10 Trading
Days from, and including, the effective date of any Spin-Off, references with respect to the
Spin-Off to the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number
of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the last day of the
related Observation Period in determining the applicable Conversion Rate; provided further that in
respect of any conversion occurring prior to the effective date of the Spin-Off with respect to
which the related Observation Period would conclude during the three Trading Days from, and
including, the effective date of such Spin-Off, references to the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period
shall be deemed replaced with a three consecutive Trading-Day period with such adjustment to the
Conversion Rate being applied on a retroactive basis from, and including, the effective date of the
Spin-Off.




     (d) (i) If any regular, quarterly cash dividend or distribution made to the holders of all or
substantially all of the Common Stock is in excess of $0.10 per share (the “Initial Dividend
Threshold”), the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formulas:



60









 










     where,




	 	CR0 	 =  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend
Date for such dividend or distribution
	 
	 	CR' 	 =  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend
Date for such dividend or distribution
	 
	 	SP0 	 =  	the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution
	 
	 	C 	 =  	the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of
Common Stock in excess of the Initial Dividend Threshold.





The Initial Dividend Threshold is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to
adjustments to the Conversion Rate; provided that no adjustment will be made to the Initial
Dividend Threshold for any adjustment made to the Conversion Rate under this clause (d)(i).




              (ii) If the Company pays any cash dividend or distribution that is not a regular,
quarterly cash dividend or distribution to holders of all or substantially all of the
Common Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:








     where,




	 	CR0 	 =  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend
Date for such dividend or distribution
	 
	 	CR' 	 =  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend
Date for such dividend or distribution
	 
	 	SP0 	 =  	the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Company’s Common Stock on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution
	 
	 	C 	 =  	the amount in cash per share distributed to holders of the Common
Stock.





61









 





     (e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or
exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration
included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the
Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be
made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (such last date, the “Expiration Time”), the
Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:








     where,




	 	CR0 	 =   	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the effective date
of the adjustment
	 	CR' 	 =   	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the effective date
of the adjustment
	 	AC 	 =   	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as
determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares
accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer
	 
	 	OS0 	 =   	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the date such tender or exchange offer expires
	 	OS' 	 =   	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the
reduction of shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange
offer)
	 
	 	SP' 	 =   	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock
over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on the Trading Day next
succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.




Such adjustment will occur on the tenth Trading Day from, and including, the Trading Day next
succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires and shall be applied on a retroactive
basis from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer
expires; provided that in respect of any conversion occurring prior to the date such tender or
exchange offer expires with respect to which the related Observation Period would conclude during
the 10 Trading Days from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or
exchange offer expires, references with respect to the tender or exchange offer to the 10
consecutive Trading-Day period shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as
have elapsed


62









 






between the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires and the last
day of the related Observation Period in determining the applicable Conversion Rate;
provided further that in respect of any conversion occurring prior to the date such tender or
exchange offer expires with respect to which the related Observation Period would conclude during
the three Trading Days from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or
exchange offer expires, references to the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period shall be deemed
replaced with a three consecutive Trading-Day period with such adjustment to the Conversion Rate
being applied on a retroactive basis from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date
such tender or exchange offer expires.



If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but
the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all
such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate
that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.




     (f) The Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish
income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a
dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or any similar event treated as
such for income tax purposes.



     (g) To the extent permitted by applicable law and the rules of any stock exchange or market
upon which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading, the Company may increase the
Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 days if the Company’s Board of Directors
determines that such increase would be in the best interest of the Company, which determination
shall be conclusive.



     (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.02, the applicable Conversion
Rate need not be adjusted:




     (i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future
plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the securities of
the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock
under any plan;




     (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase
shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant
benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;




     (iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant,
right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii)
above and outstanding as of the Issue Date;




     (iv) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or



63









 






     (v) for accrued and unpaid Interest (including any Additional Interest).



     (i) All calculations under this Section 11.02 shall be made by the Company and shall be made
to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share, as the case may be.
The Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless the adjustment would result
in a change in the Conversion Rate of at least 1%. However, the Company is required to carry
forward any adjustments to the Conversion Rate that are less than 1% that it elects not to make and
to make such adjustments upon the earlier of (i) the first day of the Observation Period in
connection with any conversion of the Securities or (ii) such time as all adjustments that have not
been made prior thereto would have the effect of adjusting the Conversion Rate by at least 1%.



     (j) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly
file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have
received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume that the last Conversion Rate of which it has
knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall
prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion
Rate and the date on which such adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such
adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the Holder of each Security at such Holder’s last address
appearing on the Securities Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture. Failure to
deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.



     (k) Any case in which this Section 11.02 provides that an adjustment shall become effective
immediately after (i) a Record Date for an event, (ii) the date fixed for the determination of a
share split or combination pursuant to Section 11.02(a), or (iii) the Expiration Time for any
tender or exchange offer pursuant to Section 11.02(e), (each a “Determination Date”), the Company
may elect to defer until the occurrence of the applicable Adjustment Event (x) issuing to the
Holder of any Security converted after such Determination Date and before the occurrence of such
Adjustment Event, the additional shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such
conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and above the Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such
Holder any amount in cash in lieu of such additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or
in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 11.01. For purposes of this Section 11.02(k), the term
“Adjustment Event” shall mean:




	 	(1)	 	in any case referred to in clause (i) hereof, the occurrence of such event,
	 
	 	(2)	 	in any case referred to in clause (ii) hereof, the date any such dividend or
distribution is paid or made, and




64









 






	 	(3)	 	in any case referred to in clause (iii) hereof, the date a sale or exchange
of Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes
irrevocable.





     (l) For purposes of this Section 11.02, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares
issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in
the treasury of the Company.



     (m) Whenever any provision of this Article 11 requires a calculation of an average of Last
Reported Sale Prices or Daily VWAP over a span of multiple days, the Company will make appropriate
adjustments (determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) to account for any
adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective at any time during the period from which
the average is to be calculated. Such adjustments shall be effective as of the effective date of
the adjustment to the Conversion Rate.



          Section 11.03. Adjustment Upon Certain Fundamental Changes. 



     (a) If a Holder elects to convert Securities pursuant to Section 11.01(a)(iii)(B) or Section
11.01(a)(iii)(C) above in connection with a transaction described therein and the transaction has
an Effective Date occurring on or prior to February 15, 2012 and also constitutes a Fundamental
Change, subject to Section 11.04, the Conversion Rate for such Securities so converted shall be
increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as described
below. Any conversion shall be deemed to have occurred in connection with such Fundamental Change
only if such Securities are surrendered for conversion at a time when the Securities would be
convertible in light of the expected or actual occurrence of such Fundamental Change and
notwithstanding the fact that a Security may then be convertible because another condition to
conversion has been satisfied.



     (b) The number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased will be
determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the
Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the Stock Price paid per
share of Common Stock in the Fundamental Change. If a Holder elects to convert its Securities
prior to the Effective Date of any Fundamental Change, and the Fundamental Change does not occur,
such Holder will not be entitled to an increased Conversion Rate in connection with such
conversion.



     (c) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A hereto will
be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Securities is adjusted pursuant to
Section 11.02. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior
to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate
immediately prior to such adjustment and



65









 







the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional
Shares set forth in such table will be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set
forth in Section 11.02.



     The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table in Schedule A, in
which case:




     (i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in the table or the
Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares
by which the Conversion Rate will be increased will be determined by a straight-line
interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower
Stock Price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.




     (ii)
if the Stock Price is greater than $___ per share (subject to adjustment), no
Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.




     (iii)
if the Stock Price is less than $___  per share (subject to adjustment), no
Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion exceed ___ per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to
adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate under Section 11.02.



     (d) Settlement of Securities tendered for conversion as to which the Conversion Rate will be
increased by Additional Shares pursuant to this Section 11.03 shall occur as follows:




     (i) if the last day of the Observation Period for such Securities is prior to the
third Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change, the
Company shall deliver the Settlement Amount (together with cash in lieu of fractional
            shares), determined in accordance with Section 11.01(c) and Section 11.01(d) above, on the
third Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Observation Period;
provided that such Settlement Amount and related Daily Conversion Values shall be
based on the Conversion Rate without giving effect to the Additional Shares to be added
thereto as set forth in this subsection. As soon as practicable following the Effective
Date of the Fundamental Change, the Company shall calculate an increased Settlement Amount
for such Securities (based upon the same Observation Period and the same Daily VWAP for
each Trading Day in such Observation Period) as if the Conversion Rate had been increased
by the number of Additional Shares pursuant to this subsection. Promptly following the
Effective Date of the Fundamental Change, the Company shall deliver the excess of the
increased Settlement Amount over the Settlement Amount calculated without such Additional
Shares. If such increased Settlement Amount results in an



66









 






increase in the amount of cash to be paid to Holders, the Company shall pay such
increase in cash, and if such increased Settlement Amount results in an increase in the
Maximum Deliverable Shares, the Company shall deliver such increase in Reference Property
(or, at the Company’s election as set forth in Section 11.01(c), in lieu of such Reference
Property, cash payable or any combination of cash payable and Reference Property issuable
upon the conversion). In no event shall the Company pay any such increase to the
Settlement Amount if the transaction causing the increase to the Conversion Rate pursuant
to this Section 11.03 does not become effective.




     (ii) If the last day of the Observation Period for such Securities is on or after the
third Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change, the
Company shall deliver the Settlement Amount (together with cash in lieu of fractional
            shares) in accordance with Section 11.01(c) and Section 11.01(d) above (such determination,
for the avoidance of doubt, to include the number of Additional Shares to be added to the
Conversion Rate as set forth in this subsection) on the later to occur of (a) the Effective
Date of the Fundamental Change and (b) the third Trading Day immediately following the
Conversion Date relating to such Securities. Any shares of Common Stock to be delivered on
or following the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change shall be subject to Section 11.04
and shall be delivered in Reference Property (or, at the Company’s election as set forth in
Section 11.01(c), in lieu of such Reference Property, cash payable or any combination of
cash payable and Common Stock issuable upon the conversion).



          Section 11.04. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.



     (a) If any of the following events occur: (i) any recapitalization, reclassification or
change of Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination) as a result of which the Common
Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, or other property or
assets (or any combination thereof), or (ii) any statutory share exchange, consolidation or merger
involving the Company pursuant to which the Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or
other property (or any combination thereof), or (iii) any sale, lease or other transfer in one
transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person as a result of which the Common
Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property (or any combination thereof) (any
such event or transaction, a “Reorganization Event”), then the Company or the successor or
purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture
(which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such
supplemental indenture) providing that at the effective time of the Reorganization Event each
Security shall be convertible into, with respect to each $1,000 in principal amount of such
Security, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets
(including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Reorganization Event would have owned or
been entitled to



67









 







receive upon such Reorganization Event (the “Reference Property”). For purposes of the
foregoing, the type and amount of consideration that a holder of Common Stock would have been
entitled to receive in the case of any such Reorganization Event that causes the Common Stock to be
converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in
part upon any form of stockholder election) will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types
and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such
an election. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for provisions and adjustments which shall
be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the provisions and adjustments provided for in
this Article 11, Article 10 and Article 8 and the definition of Fundamental Change, as appropriate,
as determined in good faith by the Company (which determination shall be conclusive and binding),
to make such provisions apply to such other Person if different from the original issuer of the
Securities. If, in the case of any Reorganization Event, the cash, securities or other property
receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes cash, securities or other property of a
Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Reorganization
Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such successor or purchasing
Person, as the case may be, and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests
of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider
necessary by reason of the foregoing.



     (b) Following the effective time of any such Reorganization Event, settlement of Securities
converted shall be in cash and units of Reference Property determined in accordance with
Section 11.01(c) above based on the Daily Conversion Value and Daily VWAP of such Reference
Property. For the purposes of determining such Daily Conversion Value and Daily VWAP, if the
Reference Property includes securities for which the price can be determined in a manner
contemplated by the definition of Daily VWAP, then the value of such securities shall be determined
in accordance with the principles set forth in such definition; (ii) if the Reference Property
includes other property (other than securities as to which clause (i) applies or cash), then the
value of such property shall be the Fair Market Value of such property as determined by the
Company’s Board of Directors in good faith; and (iii) if the Reference Property includes cash, then
the value of such cash shall be the amount thereof.



     (c) The Company shall cause notice of the execution of any supplemental indenture required by
this Section 11.04 to be mailed to each Holder of Securities, at its address appearing on the
Securities Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, within 20 calendar days after
execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of
such supplemental indenture.



     (d) The above provisions of this Section 11.04 shall similarly apply to successive
Reorganization Events.



     (e) If this Section 11.04 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 11.02 shall not apply in
respect of such event or occurrence.



68









 





     (f) None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Securities to
convert the Securities into cash and shares of Common Stock, if applicable, as set forth in
Section 11.01 prior to the effective time of such Reorganization Event.



     Section 11.05. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent
shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to the Company or any Holder of
Securities to determine the Conversion Rate, or whether any facts exist which may require any
adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any
such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. The Trustee
and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or
the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at
any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Security; and the Trustee and any other
Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any
Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver
any cash or shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property upon the
surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties,
responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 11. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any
responsibility to determine whether a supplemental indenture needs to be entered into pursuant to
Section 11.04 or the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered
into pursuant to Section 11.04 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or
securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their
Securities after any Reorganization Event or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto,
but, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the
correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’
Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution
of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.



     Section 11.06. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:



     (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock that
would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 11.02; or



     (b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of the
Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Common Stock; or



     (c) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a
subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par
value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to
which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required,
or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or



69









 





     (d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;



     (e) the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each Holder of
Securities at his address appearing on the Securities Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this
Indenture, as promptly as possible but in any event at least three (3) calendar days prior to the
applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or granting of rights or warrants, or, if a
record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which
such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock
for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give
such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend,
distribution, reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up.



     Section 11.07. Stockholder Rights Plan. To the extent that the Company has a rights
plan in effect upon conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, Holders that convert their
Securities will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights under the rights plan, unless
prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case, and only
in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company
distributed to all Holders of Common Stock shares of the Company’s capital stock, evidences of
indebtedness or assets as described in Section 11.02(c) above, subject to readjustment in the event
of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. In lieu of any such adjustment, the
Company may amend such applicable stockholder rights agreement to provide that upon conversion of
the Securities the Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion, the rights which would have attached to such Common Stock if the rights had not become
separated from the Common Stock under such applicable stockholder rights agreement.

providing electronic instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such
electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without
limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or
interception and misuse by third parties.



71









 








     Section 12.03. Communication by Holders with other Holders. Securityholders may
communicate pursuant to TIA §312(b) with other Securityholders with respect to their rights under
this Indenture or the Securities. The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall
have the protection of TIA §312(c).



     Section 12.04. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request
or application by the Company to the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee:



     (a) an Officers’ Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this
Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and



     (b) an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee stating
that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

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



     (a) a statement that the individual making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant

which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

such covenant or condition has been complied with; and



     (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such individual, such covenant or
condition has been complied with.



     In giving such Opinion of Counsel, counsel may rely as to factual matters on an Officers’
Certificate or on certificates of public officials.



     Section 12.06. When Securities Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the
required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Securities owned by the Company or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled
by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not
to be outstanding, except that, for the



72









 







purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows
are so owned shall be so disregarded. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding
at the time shall be considered in any such determination.



     Section 12.07. Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Trustee may make
reasonable rules for action by, or a meeting of, Securityholders. The Registrar and the Paying
Agent may make reasonable rules for their functions.



     Section 12.08. Legal Holidays. A “Legal Holiday” is a Saturday, a Sunday or other day
on which commercial banking institutions are authorized or required to be closed in New York City.
If a payment date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not
a Legal Holiday, and no interest or Additional Interest, if any, shall accrue for the intervening
period. If a Regular Record Date is a Legal Holiday, the Record Date shall not be affected.



     Section 12.09. Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.



     Section 12.10. No Recourse Against Others. An incorporator, director, officer,
employee, Affiliate or stockholder of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, solely by reason of
this status, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Subsidiary
Guarantor under the Securities, this Indenture or the Subsidiary Guarantees or for any claim based
on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each
Securityholder shall waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of
the consideration for the issue of the Securities.



     Section 12.11. Successors. All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the
Securities shall bind their respective successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture
shall bind its successors.



     Section 12.12. Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this
Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same
agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture.



     Section 12.13. Qualification of Indenture. The Company shall qualify this Indenture
under the TIA and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and
expenses for the Company and the Trustee) incurred in connection therewith, including, but not
limited to, costs and expenses of qualification of this Indenture and the Securities and printing
this Indenture and the Securities. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Company any
such Officers’ Certificates, Opinions of Counsel or other documentation as it may reasonably
request in connection with any such qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.



73









 





     Section 12.14. Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference
sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for
convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify
or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.



     Section 12.15. Severability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture 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 and such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability.



     Section 12.16. Withholding; Offset. The Company (through the Withholding Agent or
otherwise) shall be entitled to reduce or otherwise set-off against any payments made or deemed
made by the Company to Holders in respect of the Securities or the Common Stock for any amounts the
Company believes it is required to withhold by law. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company
pays any withholding taxes on behalf of Holders as a result of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate
of the Securities, the Company may, at its option, set-off such payments against payments of cash
and Common Stock in respect of the Securities. Any amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 12.16
shall be paid over by the Company (through the Withholding Agent or otherwise) to the appropriate
taxing authority.



     Section 12.17. Holder Documentation. Prior to or upon the occurrence of any event
that results in an actual or deemed payment by the Company to Holders in respect of the Securities
or Common Stock, the Company (through the Trustee, Paying Agent, Withholding Agent, or otherwise)
may request a Holder to furnish any appropriate documentation that may be required in order to
determine the Company’s withholding obligations under applicable law (including, without
limitation, a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, or any
certifications prepared by the Company or on its behalf in order to enable the Company to attempt
to comply with its potential withholding obligations under the “Foreign Investment in Real Property
Tax Act,” as appropriate). Upon the receipt of any such documentation, or in the event no such
documentation is provided, the Company (through the Trustee, Paying Agent, Withholding Agent, or
otherwise) will withhold pursuant to Section 12.16 to the extent required by applicable law.



     Section 12.18. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable
for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused
by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work
stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use
reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume
performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

TERMS OF SECURITIES




l% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012




     The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of February l, 2009 (as it may
be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the
“Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee, to which reference is
hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Holders.
Additional Securities may be issued under the Indenture in an unlimited aggregate principal amount
subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. In the event of any conflict or
inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Security and the terms and provisions of the
Indenture, the terms and provisions of the Indenture shall control.



1) Interest




     The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate of
l% per annum until February 15, 2012.



     Interest on the Securities shall accrue from and including the date of Security specified on
the face of this Security until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment.
Interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 in each year,
commencing August 15, 2009. If any interest payment date falls on a day that is not a Business
Day, such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day and no
interest on such payment will accrue for the period from the interest payment date to such next
succeeding Business Day. If the Stated Maturity date would fall on a day that is not a Business
Day, the required payment of interest, if any, and principal (and Additional Interest, if any),
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 date to such next succeeding Business Day. If a
Fundamental Change Purchase Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the Company will
purchase the Securities tendered for purchase on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest
or Additional Interest on such Securities will accrue for the period from and after the earlier
Fundamental Change Purchase Date to such next succeeding Business Day. The Company will pay the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price promptly following the later of (i) such next succeeding Business
Day or (ii) the time of book entry transfer or the delivery of the notes as set forth in Section
10.01(c) of the Indenture.



     A Holder of any Security after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Regular Record Date shall
be entitled to receive interest (including any Additional Interest), on such Security on the
corresponding interest payment date. Holders of Securities at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a
Regular Record Date will receive payment of interest (including any Additional Interest) payable on
the corresponding interest payment date



 









 







notwithstanding the conversion of such Securities at any time after 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on such Regular Record Date. Securities surrendered for conversion during the period after 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on any Regular Record Date to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
corresponding interest payment date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the
interest (including any Additional Interest) that the Holder is to receive on the Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such payment of interest (including any Additional Interest) need
be made by any converting Holder (i) for conversions with a Conversion Date on or after February 1,
2012, (ii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular
Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, or (iii) to the extent of
any overdue interest (including any overdue Additional Interest) existing at the time of conversion
of such Security. Except where Securities surrendered for conversion must be accompanied by payment
as described above, no interest or Additional Interest on converted Securities will be payable by
the Company on any interest payment date subsequent to the Conversion Date and delivery of the cash
and shares of Common Stock (or, at the Company’s election as set forth in Section 11.01(c) of the
Indenture, in lieu of such shares of Common Stock, cash or any combination of cash and Common
Stock), if applicable, pursuant to Article 11 of the Indenture, together with any cash payment for
any fractional share, upon conversion will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the
principal amount of the Securities and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any,
to, but not including, the related Conversion Date.



     Whenever in this Security there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or in respect of, any Security, such mention shall
be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Interest as provided for in the Indenture
to the extent that, in such context, the Additional Interest is, was or would be payable in respect
of such Security and express mention of the payment of Additional Interest (if applicable) in any
provisions of this Security shall not be construed as excluding Additional Interest in those
provisions of this Security where such express mention is not made.



2) Method of Payment




     By no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which any principal of or
interest and Additional Interest, if any, on any Security is due and payable, the Company shall
deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such principal
or interest (including any Additional Interest), when due. Principal on Definitive Securities
shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, initially the
agency of the Trustee at The Bank of New York Mellon, 111 Sanders Creek Parkway, East Syracuse, New
York 13057. Interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on Definitive Securities will be
payable (i) to each Holder of Securities having an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or
less, by check mailed to such Holder and (ii) to each Holder of Securities having an aggregate
principal amount of more than $5,000,000, either by check mailed to such Holder or, upon
application by such Holder to the Registrar not later than the relevant Regular Record Date, by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to that Holder’s
account within the United States, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder
notifies, in writing, the Registrar to the contrary.



 









 





3) Purchase at the Option of the Holder Upon a Fundamental Change




     If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s
option and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, to require the Company to purchase
any or all of the Holder’s Securities, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, that is
equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 at the Fundamental Change Purchase Price
specified in the Indenture.



4) Conversion




     Subject to the conditions and procedures set forth in the Indenture, and during the periods
specified in the Indenture, a Holder may convert its Securities prior to the close of business on
the third Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding Stated Maturity, into cash and shares of
Common Stock (or, at the election of the Company pursuant to Section 11.01(c) of the Indenture, in
lieu of such Common Stock, cash or any combination of cash and Common Stock), if any, at the
Conversion Rate.



     The initial Conversion Rate is, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities, l
shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the
Company will pay cash and shares of Common Stock (or, at the election of the Company pursuant to
Section 11.01(c) of the Indenture, in lieu of such Common Stock, cash or any combination of cash
and Common Stock), if any, based on a Daily Conversion Value calculated on a proportionate basis
for each of 25 consecutive Trading Days during the Observation Period, as set forth in the
Indenture.



     A Holder may convert a portion of the Securities only if the 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.



5) Denominations; Transfer; Exchange




     The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of principal amount of
$1,000 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 or transfer documents. No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of the Securities, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection with
any such transfer or exchange. Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required to exchange
or register a transfer of any Securities surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any
Security is surrendered for conversion, the portion thereof surrendered for conversion.



 









 





6) Persons Deemed Owners




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



7) Amendment, Waiver




     The Indenture contains provisions permitting an amendment of the Indenture or the Securities
with the written or electronic consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the Securities then outstanding and the waiver of any Event of Default (other than with respect to
nonpayment or in respect of a provision that cannot be amended without the written consent of each
Securityholder affected) or noncompliance with any provision with the written consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including, without
limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer
for, Securities).



     In addition, the Indenture permits an amendment of the Indenture or the Security without the
consent of any Securityholder under circumstances specified in the Indenture.



8) Defaults and Remedies




     (a) The Indenture sets forth events that constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.
If certain Events of Default occur and are continuing, there may be declared due and payable the
principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, on,
the Securities in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If certain bankruptcy
or insolvency events occur and are continuing with respect to the Company or the Guarantor, the
principal amount of, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest on, the
Securities shall automatically become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture.



     (b) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (a) of this section, to the extent elected by the
Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply
with the obligation to provide certain reports and information as set forth in Section 3.02 of the
Indenture and for any failure to comply with §314(a)(1) of the TIA, will for the first 120 days
after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right for Holders to
receive Additional Interest on the Securities equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of
the Securities. If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest will be payable in the same
manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Securities. The Additional
Interest will accrue on all outstanding Securities from and including the date on which such Event
of Default first occurs to but not including the 120th day thereafter (or such earlier date on
which such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived). On such 120th day after such Event of
Default (if the Event of Default relating to such obligation is not cured or waived prior to such
120th day), such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and the Securities will be subject to
acceleration as provided above. In the event the Company does not elect to
pay the Additional Interest upon such Event of Default in accordance with this paragraph, the
Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided in paragraph (a) of this section.



 









 





     (c) In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest in accordance with paragraph (b) of this
section, the Company must notify all Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election.
Upon the failure of the Company to give timely such notice or pay the Additional Interest specified
in paragraph (b) of this section, the Securities will be subject immediately to acceleration as
provided in paragraph (a) of this section.



     Securityholders 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
indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise
of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing
Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or
interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security) if it determines in good faith that
withholding notice is in the interests of the Securityholders.



9) Trustee Dealings with the Company




     Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, 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.



10) No Recourse Against Others




     An incorporator, director, officer, employee, Affiliate or stockholder, of each of the
Company, or the Subsidiary Guarantor, solely by reason of this status, shall not have any liability
for any obligations of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Securities, the Indenture
or any Subsidiary Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases
all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities.



11) Authentication




     This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually
authenticates this Security.



12) Abbreviations




     Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such as
TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entirety),
JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST
(=custodian) and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to
Securityholders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the
Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.



14) Governing Law




     This Security shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
New York.
