The 2004 Senior Convertible Notes will bear cash interest on the Original Principal Amount at the annual rate of Six Month LIBOR plus 0.50% reset semi-annually on each Interest Payment Date (such day being an "Interest Reset Date"); provided that such rate will never be less than 0%, from the August 1, 2004, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, until August 1, 2010. During such period, the Company will pay cash interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date to Holders of record at the close of business on each Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. The interest rate in effect for the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes on any day will be (a) if that day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest determined as of the Determination Date immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date, or (b) if that day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date. Each payment of cash interest on the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes will include interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) accrued through the day immediately preceding the most recent Interest Payment Date (or the Repurchase Date, Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Purchase Date or, in certain circumstances, the Conversion Date, as the case may be). Any payment required to be made on any day that is not a Business Day will be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

	
     LIBOR will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable determination date in accordance with the following provisions ("Six-Month LIBOR"):

	 	
     (i) the rate for six-month deposits in US dollars commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, that appears on the Moneyline Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on the interest Determination Date; or

	 	
     (ii) if no rate appears on the particular interest Determination Date on the Moneyline Telerate Page 3750, the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of at least two offered quotations obtained by the Calculation Agent after requesting the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in US dollars for the period of six months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on that interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in US dollars in that market at that time; or

	 	
     (iii) if fewer than two offered quotations referred to in clause (ii) are provided as requested, the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York time, on the particular interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in US dollars to leading European banks for a period of six months and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in US dollars in that market at that time; or

	 	
     (iv) if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in clause (iii), six-month LIBOR determined on the preceding interest Determination Date.

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

	
     (b) If the Stated Maturity date of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes falls on a day that is not a LIBOR Business Day, the related payment of principal and interest will be made on the next LIBOR Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such Stated Maturity date to the next LIBOR Business Day. If any Interest Reset Date or Interest Payment Date (other than at the date of Stated Maturity) would otherwise be a day that is not a LIBOR Business Day, that Interest Reset Date and Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next date that is a LIBOR Business Day, except that if such LIBOR Business Day is in the next calendar month, such Interest Reset Date and Interest Payment Date (other than at the date of Stated Maturity) shall be the immediately preceding LIBOR Business Day.

	
     (c) Until August 1, 2010, the accreted principal amount (the "Accreted Principal Amount") of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note will be equal to the Original Principal Amount of $1,000. Beginning August 1, 2010, the 2004 Senior Convertible Note shall not bear interest, except as specified in this paragraph. From such date, the Original Principal Amount shall commence increasing daily by the annual rate of Six Month LIBOR plus 0.50% reset on each Interest Reset Date; provided that such rate will never be less than 0%, to produce the Accreted Principal Amount. The Accreted Principal Amount will compound semi-annually, not daily. On Stated Maturity, the Holder of this 2004 Senior Convertible Note will receive the fully Accreted Principal Amount of this 2004 Senior Convertible Note on such date, unless the 2004 Senior Convertible Note has been earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. Unless cash interest is payable as provided in Section 1.03(a) or (h) hereof, the accrued yield shall be added to the Accreted Principal Amount per Senior Convertible Note as of the day preceding the most recent Yield Reset Date. The yield will be calculated using the actual number of days elapsed between the Yield Reset Dates divided by 360.

	
     (d) If the Accreted Principal Amount hereof or any portion of such Accreted Principal Amount is not paid when due (whether upon acceleration pursuant to Section 502 of the Original Indenture, upon the date set for payment of the Redemption Price, upon the date set for payment of the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price or upon the Stated Maturity of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes) or if installments of cash interest due hereon as provided in Section 1.03(a) or (h) are not paid when due in accordance with this Section, then in each such case, the overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear interest at Six Month LIBOR plus 0.50% reset on each Interest Reset Date (provided that such rate will never be less than 0%) as such rate is in effect following the date such overdue amount was originally due to the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for. All such interest shall be payable on demand. The accrual of such interest on overdue amounts shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any subsequent increase in the Accreted Principal Amount.

	
     (e) The Company will pay contingent interest ("Contingent Interest") to the Holders of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in respect of any six-month interest period from February 1 to July 31 and from August 1 to January 31, commencing on or after August 1, 2010 for which the average Trading Price of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note for the applicable five Trading Day reference period equals or exceeds 120% of the sum of the Accreted Principal Amount and accrued interest, if any, for a 2004 Senior Convertible Note as of the day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable six-month interest period. The "five Trading Day reference period" means the five Trading Days ending on the third Trading Day immediately preceding the relevant Interest Reset Date. For any six-month interest period in respect of which the Contingent Interest is payable, the Contingent Interest payable on each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be equal to 0.30% of the average Trading Price of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note for the applicable five Trading Day reference period. No Contingent Interest shall be payable on Senior Convertible Notes redeemed on August 1, 2010 (or, if August 1, 2010 is not a Business Day, on the next following Business Day).

	
     Upon determination that Holders will be entitled to receive Contingent Interest in respect of a six-month interest period, the Company shall notify the Holders. In connection with providing such notice, the Company will issue a press release containing information regarding the Contingent Interest determination or publish such information on the Company's then existing website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

	
     (f) Interest, including Contingent Interest, if any, on any 2004 Senior Convertible Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Senior Convertible Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest or Contingent Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose. Each installment of interest or Contingent Interest, if any, on any 2004 Senior Convertible Note shall be paid in same-day funds by transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the United States.

	
     (g) The amount of interest, including Contingent Interest, if any, payable for any period shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. The amount of interest, including Contingent Interest, if any, payable for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in any partial month. In the event that any Interest Payment Date on a 2004 Senior Convertible Note is not a Business Day, then a payment of the interest, including Contingent Interest, if any, payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date of the payment was originally payable.

	
     (h) From and after the date (the "Tax Event Date") of the occurrence of a Tax Event after August 1, 2010, the Company shall have the option to elect by notice to the Trustee, in lieu of having Accreted Principal Amount increase, to have interest accrue and be paid in cash at the annual rate equal to Six Month LIBOR plus 0.50%, reset on each Interest Reset Date; provided that such rate shall never be less than 0%, on a Restated Principal Amount per $1,000 Original Principal Amount (the "Restated Principal Amount") equal to the accrued Accreted Principal Amount through the Tax Event Date or the date the Company exercises the option provided for in this section, whichever is later (the "Option Exercise Date"). Such interest shall be payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year to Holders of record at the close of business on January 15 and July 15 immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest will accrue from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Option Exercise Date. The Trustee shall notify Holders of Senior Convertible Notes within 15 days after the Option Exercise Date that the Company has exercised the option provided for in this Section.

	
     SECTION 1.04 Denominations. The 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

	
     SECTION 1.05 Global Securities. (a) The 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary (which initially shall be The Depository Trust Company) or its nominee. Except under the limited circumstances described below, Senior Convertible Notes represented by such Global Security or Global Securities shall not be exchangeable for, and shall not otherwise be issuable as, Senior Convertible Notes in definitive form ("Definitive Securities"). The Global Securities described in this Article 1 may not be transferred except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or its nominee.

	
     (b) A Global Security shall be exchangeable for Senior Convertible Notes registered in the names of Persons other than the Depositary or its nominee only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Security and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within 90 days of receipt by the Company of such notification, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within 90 days after it becomes aware of such cessation, or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Senior Convertible Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

	
     (c) Transfers, exchanges and forms of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are further subject to the provisions of Section 1.16.

	
      SECTION 1.06 Redemption at the Option of the Company.  The 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are redeemable for cash as a whole, or from time to time in part, on any date (a "Redemption Date") at the option of the Company at 100% of the Accreted Principal Amount of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date (the "Redemption Price"), provided that the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are not redeemable prior to August 1, 2010. If the 2004 Senior Convertible Note has been converted to a semi-annual cash interest paying note following the occurrence of a Tax Event and an Option Exercise Date, the Redemption Price will be equal to the Restated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) from the date of such conversion to but not including the Redemption Date; but in no event will the 2004 Senior Convertible Note be redeemable before August 1, 2010.

	
     (b) The Company shall notify each Holder and the Trustee of the redemption pursuant to Section 1104 of the Original Indenture.

	
     (c) If any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes selected for partial redemption are thereafter surrendered for conversion in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes so selected, the converted portion of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall be deemed (so far as may be), solely for purposes of determining the aggregate principal amount of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to be redeemed by the Company, to be the portion selected for redemption. 2004 Senior Convertible Notes which have been converted during a selection of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection. Nothing in this Section 1.06(c) shall affect the right of any Holder to convert any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes before the termination of the conversion right with respect thereto. If the Company decides to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding 2004 Senior Convertible Notes then the Trustee will select the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to be redeemed (in principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) by lot, or on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate.

	
     (d) In addition to those matters set forth in Section 1104 of the Indenture, a notice of redemption sent to the Holders of Senior Convertible Notes shall state:

	 	
     (i) the name of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;

No 2004 Senior Convertible Notes may be purchased at the option of the Holders due to a Fundamental Change if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default that is cured by the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes).

     (3) that such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes and in the Indenture;

	 	
     (ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes prior to, on or after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent, such delivery or transfer being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 1.07 only if the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes so delivered or transferred to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.

	
     SECTION 1.08 Purchase of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes at the Option of the Holder.

     (ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to the Paying Agent prior to, on or after the Repurchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent, such delivery or transfer being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 1.08 only if the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes so delivered or transferred to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Repurchase Notice.

	
     SECTION 1.09 Further Conditions and Procedures for Purchase Upon a Fundamental Change and Purchase at the Option of the Holder.

     (viii) that the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price for any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes as to which a Repurchase Notice or a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as applicable, has been given and not withdrawn shall be paid by the Paying Agent promptly following the later of the Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as applicable, or the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes;

	 	
     (ix) the procedures the Holder must follow under Sections 1.07 or 1.08, as applicable, and this Section 1.09;

	 	
     (x) briefly, the conversion rights of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes and whether, at the time of such notice, the Convertible Securities are eligible for conversion;

	 	
     (xi) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price on 2004 Senior Convertible Notes covered by any Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as applicable, interest will cease to accrue on and after the Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as applicable;

	 	
     (xii) the CUSIP and, if applicable, the ISIN number of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes; and

	 	
     (xiii) the procedures for withdrawing a Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.

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

	
     At the Company's request, made at least five Business Days prior to the date upon which such notice is to be mailed, and at the Company's expense, the Paying Agent shall give the Company Purchase Notice in the Company's name; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of the Company Purchase Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

	 	
     (b) Effect of Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Company from the Holder of the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or the Repurchase Notice specified in Section 1.07(b)(i) or Section 1.08(b)(i), as applicable, the Holder of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in respect of which such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or the Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or the Repurchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Purchase Price with respect to such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price or Purchase Price shall be paid by the Paying Agent to such Holder promptly following the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, with respect to such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes (provided the conditions in Section 1.07(b) or Section 1.08(b), as applicable, have been satisfied), and (y) the time of delivery or book-entry transfer of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 1.07(b)(ii) or Section 1.08(b)(ii), as applicable. The 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, 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 or Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, has first been validly withdrawn or deemed to have been validly withdrawn as specified in Section 1.09(c); provided that the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are otherwise convertible in accordance with paragraph 7 of the reverse of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes.

	
     On or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, 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) the Purchase Price consideration sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the aggregate Purchase Price, as the case may be, of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to be purchased pursuant to Section 1.07 or Section 1.08, as applicable. Payment by the Paying Agent of such Fundamental Change Purchase Price or Purchase Price for such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall be made promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, or the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. If the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or Purchase Price, as the case may be, of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, then, on and after such date, such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest on such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall cease to accrue, whether or not book-entry transfer of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes is made or such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are delivered to the Paying Agent, and all other rights of the Holder shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Purchase Price, as the case may be, upon delivery or transfer of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes). Nothing herein shall preclude the Company withholding any tax required by law.

	
     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 money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Purchase Price, as the case may be, 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 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 to deliver all money held by it pursuant to this Section 1.09 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 money delivered to the Trustee.

	
     All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes for purchase shall be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and binding, absent manifest error.

	 	
     (c) Withdrawal of a Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. A Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as the case may be, may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Repurchase Date or the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be, to which it relates specifying:

	 	 	
     (i) if certificated, the certificate number of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;

	 	 	
     (ii) the principal amount of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; and

	 	 	
     (iii) the principal amount, if any, of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes which remains subject to the Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as the case may be, and which has been or shall be transferred or delivered for purchase by the Company.

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

	 	
     (d) Notwithstanding the requirements of Sections 1.07 or 1.08 and this Section 1.09, if the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are represented by Global Securities in book-entry form the appropriate procedures of the Depositary must be complied with for any purchase upon a Fundamental Change or Repurchase Option.

	 	
     (e) Effect of Event of Default. There shall be no purchase of any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 1.07 or Section 1.08 if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than a default that is cured by the payment of the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be). The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes: (x) with respect to which a Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as the case may be, has been withdrawn in compliance with this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default that is cured by the payment of the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be) in which case, upon such return, the Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

	 	
     (f) 2004 Senior Convertible Notes Purchased in Part. Any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes 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, if any, shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, without service charge, a new 2004 Senior Convertible Note or 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, of any authorized denomination, as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes so surrendered which is not purchased.

	 	
     (g) Covenant to Comply with Securities Laws Upon Purchase of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. In connection with any offer to purchase 2004 Senior Convertible Notes under Sections 1.07 or 1.08 hereof, the Company shall, to the extent applicable, (i) comply with Rules 13e-4 and 14e-1 (and any successor provisions thereto) under the Exchange Act, if applicable, (ii) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act, if applicable and (iii) otherwise comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Sections 1.07, 1.08 or this Section 1.09 to be exercised in the manner specified in Sections 1.07, 1.08 or this Section 1.09; provided, however, that the Company shall not take any action in violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws.

	 	
     (h) 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 Section 1003 of the Original Indenture, together with any unclaimed interest, held by them for the payment of a Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 1.09(b), as applicable, exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be, of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be, then promptly on and after the Business Day following the Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess to the Company together with any excess interest held by them for payment to Holders.

	 	
     (i) In any case where a Repurchase Date or a Fundamental Change Purchase Date shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes) payment of interest and the Purchase Price or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be, need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date (provided that all other conditions therefor have been complied with), but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment (provided that such conditions have been complied with) with the same force and effect as if made on the Repurchase Date or the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay).

	
     SECTION 1.10 Conversion of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes.

	
     (a) Right to Convert. During the periods specified in paragraph 7 of the reverse of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, a Holder may convert its 2004 Senior Convertible Notes for cash and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock.  Each $1,000 of Original Principal Amount of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall be convertible for cash equal the Principal Return and, if the Conversion Value exceeds the Accreted Principal Amount, the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the Daily Share Amounts for each Trading Day in the applicable Conversion Settlement Reference Period, as determined by the Company and confirmed in writing to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, payable as set forth in Section 1.10(b). A Holder may convert a portion of the principal amount of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes if the portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

	
     (b) The Conversion Rate; Payment for Converted New Securities. The initial Conversion Rate is 16.2760 shares of Common Stock for each $1,000 Original Principal Amount of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note, subject to adjustment as herein set forth (the "Conversion Rate"). The Company shall pay to holders of converting 2004 Senior Convertible Notes as follows:

	 	
     (i) an amount in cash (the "Principal Return") equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate Conversion Value of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to be converted, and (B) the aggregate Accreted Principal Amount of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to be converted;

	 	
     (ii) if the aggregate Conversion Value of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to be converted is greater than aggregate Accreted Principal Amount, the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the Daily Share Amounts for each Trading Day during the applicable Conversion Settlement Reference Period (the "Net Share Amount"); and

	 	
     (iii) an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be payable as a result of the calculation in subsection (ii) above, calculated as provided in Section 1.10(d).

	
The Company shall determine the Conversion Value, the Principal Return and Net Share Amount promptly after the end of the applicable Conversion Settlement Reference Period.

	
     (c) Conversion Procedures. To convert 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, the requirements set forth in this Section 1.10(d) and in paragraph 7 of the reverse of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes must be satisfied.

	 	
     (i) To convert the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, a Holder must: (1) complete and manually sign the irrevocable conversion notice on the back of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent at the office maintained by the Conversion Agent for such purpose, (2) with respect to 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in certificated form, surrender the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to the Conversion Agent or with respect to 2004 Senior Convertible Notes represented by Global Securities, cause the book-entry transfer thereof to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent, the Company or the Trustee and (4) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. The date on which the Holder satisfies all such requirements is the conversion date (the "Conversion Date"). As soon as practicable, but in no event later than the third Business Day following the determination of average Closing Sale Price during the Conversion Settlement Reference Period, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, through the Conversion Agent: (A) cash equal to the Principal Return, (B) if the Conversion Value exceeds the Accreted Principal Amount, a certificate (or credit the book-entry transfer of such shares of Common Stock) for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, and (C) cash in lieu of any fractional share determined pursuant to Section 1.10(d).

	 	
     (ii) Holders of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes at the close of business on a Regular Record Date will receive payment of interest payable on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes at any time after the close of business on such Regular Record Date. The 2004 Senior Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion by a Holder during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest that the Holder is to receive on the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes; provided, however, that no such payment need be made with respect to 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in respect of which a Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date has been set that falls within this period or on such Interest Payment Date or to the extent any overdue interest exists at the time of such conversion. Except as described above, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on converted 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. Upon conversion of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, a Holder will not receive any cash payment of interest (unless such conversion occurs between a Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which it relates) and the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for accrued and unpaid interest.

	 	
     (iii) The Person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record on and after the Conversion Date; provided, however, that no surrender of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record Holder or Holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record Holder or Holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date that such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall have been surrendered for conversion, as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed.  Upon conversion of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes.

	 	
     (iv) No payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends on or other distributions with respect to any Common Stock except as provided in Section 1.10(g). If a Holder converts more than one 2004 Senior Convertible Note at the same time, the amount of cash and the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion shall be based on the total principal amount of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes converted. Upon surrender of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note 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 2004 Senior Convertible Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the 2004 Senior Convertible Note surrendered. If the last day on which 2004 Senior Convertible Notes may be converted is not a Business Day in a place where a Conversion Agent is located, the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes may be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day. A Holder of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes is not entitled to any rights of a Holder of Common Stock until such Holder has converted its Senior Convertible Notes to Common Stock, and only to the extent such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are deemed to have been converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.10.

	 	
     (v) In the event the Company exercises its option pursuant to Section 1.03(h) to have, in lieu of having the Accreted Principal Amount increase, interest accrue on the 2004 Senior Convertible Note following a Tax Event, the Holder will be entitled on conversion to receive the same amount upon conversion of such 2004 Senior Convertible Note as such Holder would have received if the Company had not exercised such option. Increases in the Accreted Principal Amount and cash interest (including Contingent Interest, if any, and interest payable upon the occurrence of a Tax Event, if any) will not be paid on 2004 Senior Convertible Notes that are converted, except accrued cash interest will be payable upon conversion of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes made concurrently with or after acceleration of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes following the Event of Default.

	 	
     (vi) If a Holder of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes has already delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or Repurchase Notice with respect to a 2004 Senior Convertible Note, then the Holder may not surrender such 2004 Senior Convertible Note for conversion until the Holder has withdrawn the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or Repurchase Notice in accordance with the provisions hereof.

	 	
     (vii) On conversion of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note, increases in the Accreted Principal Amount or cash interest (or interest if the Company has exercised its option provided for in Section 1.03(h) hereof) attributable to the period from the Original Issue Date (or, if the Company has exercised the option provided for in Section 1.03(h) hereof, the later of (x) the date of such exercise and (y) the date on which interest was last paid) through the Conversion Date shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through the delivery of the cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, in exchange for the 2004 Senior Convertible Note being converted pursuant to the terms of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, and the cash and shares of Common Stock shall be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for increases in the Accreted Principal Amount or cash interest (or interest, if the Company has exercised its option provided for in Section 1.03(h) hereof) accrued through the Conversion Date, and the balance, if any, of  shall be treated as issued in exchange for the Original Principal Amount of the 2004 Senior Convertible Note being converted pursuant to the provisions of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes.

	
     (d) Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. 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 average of the Closing Sale Prices during the applicable Conversion Settlement Reference Period by the fractional amount and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.

	
     (e) Taxes on Conversion. If a Holder converts 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares of Common Stock 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. Nothing herein shall preclude the Company's withholding any tax required by law.

	
     (f) Covenants of the Company. The Company shall, prior to issuance of any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the payment of any Common Stock portion of the amount payable upon conversion of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, as provided in Section 1.10(b)(ii), upon conversion of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes 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. The Company shall endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the order and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, if any, and shall cause to have listed or quoted all such shares of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if not listed thereon, on each United States national securities exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

	
     (g) Adjustments to Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

	 	
     (i) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in Common Stock, the Conversion Rate, as in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution, shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this Section 1.10(g)(i), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in treasury by the Company but shall include any shares issuable in respect of any 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 treasury by the Company.

	 	
     (ii) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to any dividend reinvestment or share purchase plans) to all Holders of its Common Stock (not being available on an equivalent basis to Holders of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes upon conversion of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes) entitling them, for a period expiring within 60 days after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan or share purchase plan), the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase at such below Current Market Price, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this Section 1.10(g)(ii), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in treasury by the Company but shall include any shares issuable in respect of any scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not issue any such rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in treasury by the Company.

	 	
     (iii) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or split into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or split becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision, split or combination becomes effective.

	 	
     (iv) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all Holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, cash or other property (but excluding any rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 1.10(g)(ii) of this Section, any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 1.10(g)(i)), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, cash or other property so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution; provided, however, that in the event that the Company makes a distribution to all Holders of its Common Stock consisting of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, a subsidiary of the Company, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Spin-off Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the Spin-off Market Price per share or similar equity interest of the subsidiary of the Company on such date and the denominator shall be the Spin-off Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective 10 trading days after the effective date of such distribution of capital stock of, or similar equity interest in, a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company. In any case in which this Section 1.10(g)(iv) is applicable, Sections 1.10(g)(i) and (ii) shall not be applicable.

	 	
     (v) In case the Company shall, (I) by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all Holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (i) any cash that is distributed in an event to which Section 1.10(h)(iv) applies or (ii) cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in Section 1.10(g)(iv)) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (II) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all Holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the quarterly fiscal period containing the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.10(g)(v) or Section 1.10(g)(vi) has been made and (III) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value of any securities or other property, as of the expiration of the applicable tender or exchange offer referred to below (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), of consideration payable in respect of any tender or exchange offer (other than consideration payable in respect of any odd-lot tender offer) by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the quarterly fiscal period containing the date of payment of the distribution described in clause (I) above and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.10(g)(v) or Section 1.10(g)(vi) has been made, exceeds the product of $0.13 (appropriately adjusted from time to time for any stock dividends on or subdivisions or combinations of Common Stock) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination plus $0.13 (appropriately adjusted from time to time for any stock dividends on or subdivisions or combination of Common Stock) less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the combined amount distributed or payable in the transactions described in clauses (I), (II) and (III) above and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date for determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such date for determination.

	 	
     (vi) In case (I) a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock (other than consideration payable in respect of any odd-lot tender offer) shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of Purchased Shares) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (II) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender or exchange offer (other than consideration payable in respect of any odd-lot tender offer) by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the quarterly fiscal period containing the expiration of such tender or exchange offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 1.10(g)(v) or this Section 1.10(g)(vi) has been made and (III) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all Holders of the Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the quarterly fiscal period containing the expiration of such tender or exchange offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 1.10(g)(v) or this Section 1.10(g)(vi) has been made, exceeds the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the close of business as of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (1) the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock as of the Expiration Time and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less (B) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the transactions described in clauses (I), (II) and (III) above (assuming in the case of clause (I) the acceptance, up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer, of Purchased Shares), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock as of the Expiration Time and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares").

	 	
     (vii) If a Cash Take-Over Transaction occurs prior to July 31, 2010, and except as provided in Section 1.10(g)(viii) below, for any conversion of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in connection with the Cash Take-Over Transaction, the Company will increase the number of shares of Common Stock payable upon conversion of the New Securities in connection with the Cash Take-Over Transaction by a number of Additional Shares determined by the Effective Date of the Cash Take-Over Transaction and the applicable Stock Price (adjusted as set forth below) as set forth on the table contained as Exhibit D to this Indenture.

	 	
The Stock Prices set forth on the table set forth on Exhibit D hereto will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted. On such date, the Stock Prices shall be adjusted by multiplying: the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, by a fraction, of which (x) the numerator is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate so adjusted.

	 	
     (viii) In the event of a Cash Take-Over Transaction which is also a Public Acquirer Change of Control, the Company may, in lieu of increasing the Conversion Rate by the Additional Shares pursuant to Section 1.10(g)(vii) above, elect to adjust the Conversion Rate such that from and after the Effective Date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control, Holders of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes will be entitled to convert their Notes for an amount equal to the product of multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Public Acquirer Change of Control by a fraction:

	 	
     (1) the numerator of which will be (a) in the case of a share exchange, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into cash, securities or other property, the fair market value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable with respect to each share of Common Stock, or (b) in the case of any other Public Acquirer Change of Control, the average of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding but excluding the Effective Date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control, and

	 	
     (2) the denominator of which will be the average of the Closing Sale Price of the Public Acquirer Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days prior to but not including the Effective Date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control.

	 	
The Company will notify Holders of its election by providing a public company acquisition notice at least five Trading Days prior to, but not including, the expected Effective Date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control, as set forth in Paragraph 7 of the reverse of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. The amount payable upon conversion of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes upon an election by the Company under this Section 1.10(g)(viii) shall be settled as provided in Section 1.10(b) provided that in lieu of the Common Stock payable under Section 1.10(b)(ii) there shall be paid that number of whole shares of Public Acquirer Common Stock, calculated in the same manner.

	 	
     (ix) All adjustments to the Conversion Rate, shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent therein; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph are not required to be made because they would have required an increase or decrease of less than one percent shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

	 	
     (x) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 1.10(g)(ii) or (iv), no adjustment shall be made thereunder, nor shall an adjustment be made to the ability of a Holder of a Note to convert, for any distribution described therein if the Holder will otherwise participate in the distribution without conversion of such Holder's Senior Convertible Notes.

	 	
     (xi) No adjustment pursuant to the Conversion Rate or a Holder's ability to convert pursuant to this Section 1.10(g) shall be made in connection with the issuance of rights, the distribution of separate certificates representing rights or the exercise, redemption, termination or invalidation of rights pursuant to any stockholder rights plan implemented by the Company which provides that, upon conversion of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, the Holders shall receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such stockholder rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion).

	 	
(h) Miscellaneous Provisions Relating to Conversion.

	 	
     (i) When No Adjustment Required.  No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made:

	 	 	
     (1) 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 securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

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

	 	 	
     (3) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in (2) above and outstanding as of the date the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes were first issued;

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

	 	 	
     (5) for accrued and unpaid interest.

	 	
To the extent the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes become convertible into cash, assets or property (other than capital stock of the Company or securities to which Section 1.10(h)(iv) applies), no adjustment shall be made thereafter as to the cash, assets or property.  Interest shall not accrue on such cash, assets or property.

	 	
     (ii) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a notice of the adjustment. The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent such notice. The certificate shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same to any Holder desiring inspection thereof.

	 	
     (iii) Voluntary Increase. The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section 1.10(g), as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to Holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may from time to time increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days, the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is so increased, the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a notice of such increase. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such notice except to exhibit the same to any Holder desiring inspection thereof. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the increased Conversion Rate takes affect. The notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period it shall be in effect.

	 	
     (iv) Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, Binding Share Exchange or Sale. If any of the following events occur, namely (a) any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (b) any consolidation, merger or binding share exchange of the Company with another corporation as a result of which Holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock or (c) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other corporation as a result of which Holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted. If any of the events described in the preceding sentence occur, the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture or otherwise amend the terms of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, to provide that each Senior Convertible Note shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or property or assets (including cash) that the Holder of the 2004 Senior Convertible Note would have received upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale or conveyance if such Holder had converted such 2004 Senior Convertible immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, binding share exchange, sale or conveyance. Such supplemental indenture or other amendment to the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 1.10(h)(iv). The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture or amendment of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to be mailed to each Holder, at its address appearing on the 2004 Senior Convertible Note register, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, binding share exchanges, sales and conveyances. If this Section 1.10(h)(iv) applies to any event or occurrence, Section 1.10(g) shall not apply.

	 	
     (v) Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and shall be protected in relying upon an Officers' Certificate with respect to 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 2004 Senior Convertible Notes and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Section 1.10. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 1.10(h)(iv) relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Senior Convertible Notes after any event referred to in such Section 1.10(h)(iv) or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Article Six of the Indenture, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers' Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by the paragraph 7 of the reverse of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes has occurred which makes the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent an Officers' Certificate stating that such event has occurred, on which Certificate the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such Officers' Certificate to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event.

	
     In no event shall the Trustee or the Conversion Agent be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if the Trustee or the Conversion Agent have been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

	
     In no event shall the Trustee or the Conversion Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Indenture.

	 	
     (vi) Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under Section 1.10(g), any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under Section 1.10(g) shall cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

	 	
     (vii) General Considerations. Whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Rate are called for pursuant to Sections 1.10(g) or 1.10(h), such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of 1.10(g) or 1.10(h) and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

	
     (i) On conversion of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note, a Holder shall receive no payment for that portion of accrued and unpaid interest on the converted 2004 Senior Convertible Note attributable to the period from the most recent Interest Payment Date (or, if no Interest Payment Date has occurred, from the Original Issue Date) through the Conversion Date with respect to the converted 2004 Senior Convertible Note.

	
     SECTION 1.11 Additional Events of Default; Withholding Notice; Rescission. (a) In addition to those matters set forth in Section 501 of the Original Indenture, an "Event of Default" with respect to the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall also mean any of the following events:

	 	
     (i) default in the Company's obligation to repurchase 2004 Senior Convertible Notes upon the Company's exercise of its repurchase option pursuant to Section 1.06, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 1.07 or upon the exercise by a Holder of its option to require the Company to repurchase such Holder's Senior Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 1.08; or

	 	
     (ii) default in the Company's obligation to convert the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes upon exercise of a Holder's conversion rights pursuant to Section 1.10 hereof; or

	 	
     (iii) default by the Company in its obligation to provide notice of a Fundamental Change.

	
     (b) The Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing default or Event of Default (except a default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest on the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes) if it determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the Holders' interest.

	
     (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may rescind any acceleration of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes and its consequences if all existing Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of principal of, interest, Contingent Interest, if any, on the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes that has become due solely by virtue of such acceleration) have been cured or waived and if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction. No such rescission will affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

	
     SECTION 1.12 Amendment; Supplement; and Waiver. In addition to those matters set forth in Section 902 of the Original Indenture, with respect to the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, no amendment or supplemental indenture shall without the consent of the Holder of each Senior Convertible Note affected thereby:

	
     (a) reduce the percentage of the Original Principal Amount of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

	
     (b) reduce the principal of, or premium on, or change the fixed Stated Maturity of any 2004 Senior Convertible Note or, except as permitted pursuant to clause (s), (v), (y) or (z) of the immediately following paragraph, alter the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes;

	
     (c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including Contingent Interest, or defaulted interest on any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes;

	
     (d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) on the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Accreted Principal Amount of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

	
     (e) make the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) on, any 2004 Senior Convertible Note payable in money other than as provided for in the Indenture and in the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes;

	
     (f) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to receive payments of principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) on the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes;

	
     (g) waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any 2004 Senior Convertible Note;

	
     (h) except as permitted by the Indenture, increase the Conversion Price or modify the provisions of the Indenture relating to conversion of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in a manner adverse to the Holders;

	
     (i) make any change to the abilities of Holders of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to enforce their rights under the Indenture or the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.12 or this provision;

	
     (j) reduce the Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Fundamental Change  Purchase Price of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes; or

	
     (k) make any change that adversely affects the right to convert the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes.

	
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to:

	
     (s) cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any other changes in the provisions of the Indenture which they may deem necessary or desirable, provided such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes;

	
     (t) provide for uncertificated 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Senior Convertible Notes;

	
     (u) provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to Holders of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in the circumstances required under the Indenture;

	
     (v) provide for exchange rights of Holders of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in certain events;

	
     (w) reduce the Conversion Price;

	
     (x) evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee;

	
     (y) make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Senior Convertible Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder; or

	
     (z) comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

	
     In addition, with respect to the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, to the extent set forth in Section 513 of the Original Indenture, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding 2004 Senior Convertible Notes may waive an existing default other than: (a) any default by the Company in any payment of the Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, or (b) any default which constitutes a failure to convert any 2004 Senior Convertible Note in accordance with its terms and the Indenture.

	
     SECTION 1.13 Register of Securities; Paying Agent; Conversion Agent. Initially, the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Security Registrar with respect to the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes with the Place of Payment for the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes initially being the Corporate Trust Office. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Security Registrar or co-registrar or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts without notice, other than notice to the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Security Registrar or co-registrar.

	
     SECTION 1.14 Calculations in Respect of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. The Trustee will act as Calculation Agent and will, in consultation with the Company, make all calculations called for under the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes other than calculations of interest. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determination of the Trading Price, Current Market Price, Closing Sale Price, interest rate on the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, Conversion Rate, and Principal Return of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. The Trustee, in consultation with the Company, will make these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, these calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Trustee will forward its calculations to any Holder upon the request of such Holder.

	
     SECTION 1.15 Tax Treatment. The Company hereby agrees, and by purchasing a beneficial ownership interest in the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes each Holder, and any person (including an entity) that acquires a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, will be deemed to have agreed (i) for United States Federal income tax purposes to treat the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes as indebtedness of the Company that is subject to Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.1275-4 (the "Contingent Payment Regulations"), (ii) for all tax purposes to treat the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes as indebtedness of the Company, (iii) for purposes of the Contingent Payment Regulations to treat the cash and fair market value of any Common Stock beneficially received by a beneficial Holder upon any conversion of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes (or cash in lieu of Common Stock) as a contingent payment, and (iv) to be bound by the Company's projected payment schedule with respect to the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be interpreted to further this intention and agreement of the parties. The comparable yield and the schedule of projected payments are not determined for any purpose other than for the determination of interest accruals and adjustment thereof in respect of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes for United States Federal income tax purposes. The comparable yield and the schedule of projected payments do not constitute a projection or representation regarding the future stock price or the amounts payable on the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. For purposes of the foregoing, the Company's determination of the "comparable yield" is 8.28% per annum, compounded semiannually. A Holder of Senior Convertible Notes may obtain the Yield to Maturity, Issue Date, Comparable Yield and Projected Payment Schedule (which Schedule is attached hereto as Exhibit C) by submitting a written request to Bausch & Lomb Incorporated, One Bausch & Lomb Place Rochester, New York 14604, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

	
     SECTION 1.16 Transfer and Exchange.

	
     (a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Securities. When Definitive Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request:

	 	
     (i) to register the transfer of such Definitive Securities; or

	 	
     (ii) to exchange such Definitive Securities for an equal principal amount of Definitive Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange:

	 	 	
     (A) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and

	 	 	
     (B) are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable, if such Definitive Securities are Transfer Restricted Securities:

	 	 	 	
     (x) if such Definitive Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Transfer Restricted Security); or

	 	 	 	
     (y) if such Definitive Securities are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Transfer Restricted Security); or

     (iii) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Security for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security. A Definitive Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, together with written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the securities custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the securities represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Security and cause, or direct the securities custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the securities custodian, the aggregate principal amount of securities represented by the Global Security to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Security to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Security so canceled. If no Global Securities are then outstanding and the Global Security has not been previously exchanged for certificated securities pursuant to Section 1.05(b), the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate, a new Global Security in the appropriate principal amount.

A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall deliver a written order given in accordance with the Depositary's procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Security or another Global Security and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Security and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred.

	 	
     (ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of Global Security from which such interest is being transferred.

	 	
     (iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in Section 1.05), a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

2004 SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTE DUE 2023

	
1.
	
     Interest and Contingent Interest.

	 	
     (a) The 2004 Senior Convertible Notes will bear cash interest on the Original Principal Amount at the annual rate of Six Month LIBOR plus 0.50%, reset semi-annually on each Interest Payment Date (such day being an "Interest Reset Date"); provided that such rate will never be less than 0%, from August 1, 2004, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, until August 1, 2010. During such period, the Company will pay cash interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date to Holders of record at the close of business on each Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. The interest rate in effect for the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes on any day will be: (a) if that day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest determined as of the Determination Date immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date, or (b) if that day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date. Each payment of cash interest on the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes will include interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) accrued through the day immediately preceding the most recent Interest Payment Date (or the Repurchase Date, Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Date or, in certain circumstances, the Conversion Date, as the case may be). Any payment required to be made on any day that is not a Business Day will be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

	 	
     LIBOR will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable determination date in accordance with the following provisions ("Six-Month LIBOR"):

	 	
     (i) the rate for six-month deposits in US dollars commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, that appears on the Moneyline Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on the interest Determination Date; or

	 	
     (ii) if no rate appears on the particular interest Determination Date on the Moneyline Telerate Page 3750, the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of at least two offered quotations obtained by the Calculation Agent after requesting the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in US dollars for the period of six months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on that interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in US dollars in that market at that time; or

	 	
     (iii) if fewer than two offered quotations referred to in clause (ii) are provided as requested, the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York time, on the particular interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in US dollars to leading European banks for a period of six months and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in US dollars in that market at that time; or

	 	
     (iv) if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in clause (iii), six-month LIBOR determined on the preceding interest Determination Date.

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

	 	
     If the Stated Maturity date of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes falls on a day that is not a LIBOR Business Day, the related payment of principal and interest will be made on the next LIBOR Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such Stated Maturity date to the next LIBOR Business Day. If any Interest Reset Date or Interest Payment Date (other than at the date of Stated Maturity) would otherwise be a day that is not a LIBOR Business Day, that Interest Reset Date and Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next date that is a LIBOR Business Day, except that if such LIBOR Business Day is in the next calendar month, such Interest Reset Date and Interest Payment Date (other than at the date of Stated Maturity) shall be the immediately preceding LIBOR Business Day.

	 	
     (b) Until August 1, 2010, the Accreted Principal Amount of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note will be equal to the Original Principal Amount of $1,000. Beginning August 1, 2010, the 2004 Senior Convertible Note shall not bear interest, except as specified in this paragraph of the Indenture. From such date, the Original Principal Amount shall commence increasing daily by the annual rate of Six Month LIBOR plus 0.50% reset on each Interest Reset Date; provided that such rate will never be less than 0%, to produce the Accreted Principal Amount. The Accreted Principal Amount will compound semi-annually, not daily. On the Stated Maturity, the Holder of this 2004 Senior Convertible Note will receive the fully Accreted Principal Amount of this 2004 Senior Convertible Note on such date, unless the 2004 Senior Convertible Note has been earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. Unless cash interest is payable as provided in paragraph 1(a) or 9 hereof, the accrued yield shall be added to the Accreted Principal Amount per Senior Convertible Note as of the day preceding the most recent Yield Reset Date. The yield will be calculated using the actual number of days elapsed between the Yield Reset Dates divided by 360.

	 	
     (c) If the Accreted Principal Amount hereof or any portion of such Accreted Principal Amount is not paid when due (whether upon acceleration pursuant to Section 502 of the Indenture, upon the date set for payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof, upon the date set for payment of the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price pursuant to paragraph 6 hereof or upon the Stated Maturity of this 2004 Senior Convertible Note) or if installments of cash interest due hereon are not paid when due in accordance with this paragraph, then in each such case the overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear interest at Six Month LIBOR plus 0.50% reset on each Interest Reset Date (provided that such rate will never be less than 0%) as such rate is in effect following the date such overdue amount was due, compounded quarterly, which interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was originally due to the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for. All such interest shall be payable on demand. The accrual of such interest on overdue amounts shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any subsequent increase in the Accreted Principal Amount.

	 	
     (d) The Company will pay Contingent Interest to the Holders of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in respect of any six-month interest period from February 1 to July 31 and August 1 to January 31, commencing on or after August 1, 2010 for which the average Trading Price of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note for the applicable five Trading Day reference period equals or exceeds 120% of the sum of the Accreted Principal Amount and accrued interest, if any, for a 2004 Senior Convertible Note as of the day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable six-month interest period. The "five Trading Day reference period" means the five Trading Days ending on the third Trading Day immediately preceding the relevant six-month interest period. For any six-month interest period in respect of which Contingent Interest is payable, the Contingent Interest payable on each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be equal to 0.30% of the average Trading Price of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note for the applicable five Trading Day reference period. No Contingent Interest shall be payable on Senior Convertible Notes redeemed pursuant to this paragraph 6 on August 1, 2010 (or, if August 1, 2010 is not a Business Day, on the next following Business Day).

	 	
     Upon determination that Holders will be entitled to receive Contingent Interest in respect of a six-month interest period, the Company shall notify the Holders. In connection with providing such notice, the Company will issue a press release containing information regarding the Contingent Interest determination or publish such information on the Company's then existing website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

	 	
     (e) Interest, including Contingent Interest, if any, on any 2004 Senior Convertible Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Senior Convertible Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest or Contingent Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose. Each installment of interest or Contingent Interest, if any, on any 2004 Senior Convertible Note shall be paid in same-day funds by transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the United States.

	 	
     (f) The amount of interest, including Contingent Interest, if any, payable for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in any partial month.  In the event that any Interest Payment Date on a 2004 Senior Convertible Note is not a Business Day, then a payment of the interest, including Contingent Interest, if any, payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.

	
2.
	
     Method of Payment.

	 	
     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make payments in respect of Accreted Principal Amount, Principal Return, Redemption Prices, Purchase Prices, Fundamental Change Purchase Prices and on Stated Maturity to Holders who surrender Senior Convertible Notes to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. In addition, the Company will pay cash interest beginning November 1, 2003 until August 1, 2010, as more fully described in paragraph 1 hereof. The Company will pay any cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may make such cash payments by check payable in such money.

	
3.
	
     Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar.

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

	
4.
	
     Indenture.

	 	
     The Company issued the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 1, 1991, as subsequently supplemented including by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture thereto dated December __, 2004 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes themselves and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect from time to time (the "TIA"). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are subject to all such terms, and 2004 Senior Convertible Note Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall prevail.

	 	
     The 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company limited to $160,000,000 aggregate Original Principal Amount but not more than the original principal amount of all of the Company's Floating Rate Senior Convertible Notes due 2023 surrendered in exchange for the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. The Indenture does not limit other indebtedness of the Company, secured or unsecured.

	
5.
	
     Redemption at the Option of the Company.

	 	
     No sinking fund is provided for the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. The 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are redeemable in cash as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time at the option of the Company in accordance with the Indenture at 100% of the Accreted Principal Amount of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, provided that the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are not redeemable prior to August 1, 2010.

	 	
     If less than all of the outstanding 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to be redeemed in Original Principal Amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 Original Principal Amount.  In this case, the Trustee may select the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes by lot, pro rata or by any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. If a portion of a Holder's Senior Convertible Notes is selected for partial redemption and the Holder converts a portion of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, the converted portion will be deemed to be the portion selected for redemption.

	 	
     If this 2004 Senior Convertible Note has been converted to a semi-annual cash interest paying note following the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Redemption Price will be equal to the Restated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) from the date of such conversion to but not including the Redemption Date; but in no event will this 2004 Senior Convertible Note be redeemable before August 1, 2010.

	 	
     No Contingent Interest shall be payable on 2004 Senior Convertible Notes redeemed pursuant to this paragraph 5 on August 1, 2010 (or if August 1, 2010 is not a Business Day, on the following Business Day).

	
6.
	
     Purchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder.

	 	
     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase, at the option of the Holder, the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes held by such Holder on August 1 of 2010, 2013 and 2018 at a Purchase Price in cash equal to 100% of the Accreted Principal Amount of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes on the applicable Repurchase Date plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Contingent Interest, if any, to but not including the Repurchase Date, upon delivery of a Repurchase Notice containing the information set forth in the Indenture, at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to such Repurchase Date until the close of business on the third Business Day prior to such Repurchase Date and upon delivery of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to the Paying Agent by the Holder as set forth in the Indenture.

	 	
     If prior to a Repurchase Date this 2004 Senior Convertible Note has been converted to a semi-annual cash interest paying note following the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Purchase Price will be equal to the Restated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid cash interest, including Contingent Interest, if any, from the date of conversion to the Repurchase Date but not including the Repurchase Date as provided in the Indenture.

	 	
     At the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase in cash all or a portion of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes in integral multiples of $1,000 Original Principal Amount held by such Holder no later than 60 Business Days after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change of the Company for a Fundamental Change Purchase Price equal to 100% of the Accreted Principal Amount of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Contingent Interest, if any, to but not including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price Date, which Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid in cash.

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

	 	
     Payment of the Purchase Price for a 2004 Senior Convertible Note for which a Repurchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn is conditioned upon book-entry transfer or delivery of such 2004 Senior Convertible Note, together with any necessary endorsements, to the Paying Agent at its office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or any other office or the Paying Agent, at any time after delivery of the Repurchase Notice.

	 	
     If cash sufficient to pay the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be, of all 2004 Senior Convertible Notes or portions thereof to be purchased as of the Repurchase Date or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price Date, as the case may be, is deposited with the Paying Agent on the Business Day immediately following to the Repurchase Date or on the Fundamental Change Purchase Price Date, as the case may be, such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes (or portions thereof) will cease to be outstanding, the Accreted Principal Amount shall cease to increase, and cash interest, including Contingent Interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes (or portions thereof) on such Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Price Date, as the case may be, and the Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such (other than the right to receive the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be, if any, upon surrender of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes). This will be the case whether or not book-entry transfer of the 2004 Senior Convertible Note has been made or the 2004 Senior Convertible Note has been delivered to the Paying Agent.

	
7.
	
     Conversion.

	 	
     Conversion Based on Common Stock Price. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 7 including the settlement provisions described below and notwithstanding the fact that any other condition to conversion described below has not been satisfied, Holders may convert the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes on a Conversion Date at any time starting with the first day of any calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2004 if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days in a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of such preceding calendar quarter is greater than the conversion trigger price per share. The "conversion trigger price" for any calendar quarter shall be 120% of the accreted Conversion Price per share (as defined below) of Common Stock on the last Trading Day of such preceding calendar quarter. If the foregoing condition is satisfied, then the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes will be convertible at any time of the option of the Holder, through their maturity.

	 	
     The "accreted Conversion Price" per share of Common Stock as of any day equals the quotient of:

	 	
     - the Accreted Principal Amount on that day, divided by

	 	
     - the Conversion Rate on that day, subject to any adjustments to the Conversion Rate through that day.

	 	
     Beginning August 1, 2010, the accreted principal amount of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note will be equal to the Original Principal Amount of $ 1,000 increased daily by the annual rate of Six Month LIBOR plus 0.50%, reset on each Interest Reset Date.

	 	
     Conversion Based on Trading Price of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 7 including the settlement provisions described below and notwithstanding the fact that any other condition to conversion described below has not been satisfied, Holders may convert the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, prior to August 1, 2020, during each of the five Business Day periods after any ten consecutive Trading Day period in which the Trading Price per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes was less than 97% of the product of (i) the average of Closing Sale Prices over the same ten day Trading Day period, and (ii) the applicable Conversion Rate of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes. Upon conversion, the Company shall pay the holder of the converted 2004 Senior Convertible Note cash and Common Stock as provided in the Indenture.

	 	
     The "Trading Price" means, on any date, the average of the secondary market bid quotations for the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes obtained by the Trustee for $5,000,000 Original Principal Amount of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such date from three independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company; provided that if at least three such bids cannot reasonably be obtained by the Trustee, but two 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, one bid shall be used; and provided further that if the Trustee cannot reasonably obtain at least one bid for $5,000,000 Original Principal Amount of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes from a nationally recognized securities dealer or in the Company's reasonable judgment, the bid quotations are not indicative of the secondary market value of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, then the Trading Price per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall be deemed to be less than 97% of the product of: (a) the applicable Conversion Rate of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, and (b) the Closing Sale Price on such date.

	 	
     The Trustee (or other conversion agent appointed by the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price unless the Company has requested such a determination; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder provides it with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes would be less than 97% of the product of the average Closing Sale Prices over the same ten Trading Day period and applicable Conversion Rate.  If such evidence is provided, the Company shall instruct the Trustee (or other conversion agent) to determine the Trading Price of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes is greater than 97% of the product of the average Closing Sale Price and the applicable Conversion Rate of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes.

	 	
     Conversion upon Redemption.  Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 7 including the settlement provisions described below and notwithstanding the fact that any other condition described herein to conversion has not been satisfied, a Holder may convert a 2004 Senior Convertible Note or portion of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note which has been called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof, provided such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes are surrendered for conversion prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date.

	 	
     Conversion Upon Occurrence of Certain Corporate Transactions. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 7 including the settlement provisions described below and notwithstanding the fact that any other condition described herein to conversion has not been satisfied, in the event the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange or a transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property as set forth in the Indenture, the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the date announced by the Company as the anticipated effective time of such transaction until 15 days after the actual effective date of such transaction, and, unless the transactions is a Cash Take-Over Transaction, as defined in the Indenture, at the effective time of such transaction the right to convert a 2004 Senior Convertible Note will be deemed to have changed into a right to convert it into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other assets of the Company or another person which the Holder would have received if the Holder had converted its 2004 Senior Convertible Note immediately prior to the transaction. If such transaction is a Cash Take-Over Transaction, the Additional Shares as provided in Section 1.10(g)(vii) shall be added to the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon conversion as provided in Section 1.10(b)(ii) of the Indenture, unless the transaction is with an acquirer which has a class of publicly traded securities and the Company elects to treat the transaction as a Public Acquirer Change of Control under Section 1.10(g)(viii) of the Indenture. If the Company elects to treat the transaction as a Public Acquirer Change of Control, the Company shall cause notice of such election to be mailed to each Holder, at its address appearing on the 2004 Senior Note register, as soon as practicable and at least 5 trading days prior to the anticipated Effective Date of such transaction and, as of the Effective Date of the Public Acquirer Change of Control, the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes shall be convertible as described in Section 1.10(g)(viii) of the Indenture. If any transaction described in this paragraph also constitutes a Fundamental Change, a Holder will be able to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder's 2004 Senior Convertible Notes pursuant to Paragraph 6 and of the Indenture.

	 	
     Conversion Upon Other Events. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 7 including the settlement provisions described below and notwithstanding the fact that any other condition to conversion has not been satisfied, in the event that the Company declares a dividend or distribution described in Section 1.10(g)(ii) of the Indenture, or a dividend or a distribution described in Section 1.10(g)(iv) of the Indenture where, the fair market value, per share, of such dividend or distribution per share of Common Stock, as determined in the Indenture, exceeds 10% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of declaration for such dividend or distribution or a Fundamental Change occurs other than pursuant to a transaction described in clause entitled "Conversion Upon Occurrence of Certain Corporate Transactions" above, the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes may be surrendered for conversion beginning on the date the Company gives notice to the Holders of such right, which shall not be less than 20 days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution or which shall be within 20 days after the occurrence of such Fundamental Change, as the case may be, and Senior Convertible Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time thereafter until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Ex-Dividend Date or until the Company announces that such dividend or distribution will not take place, with respect to a dividend or distribution, or within 30 days of such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, in the case of such a Fundamental Change. No adjustment to the Conversion Rate or the ability of the Holders to convert this 2004 Senior Convertible Note will be made if the Company provides, as permitted in the Indenture, for Holders to participate in the transaction without conversion or in other cases specified in the Indenture.

	 	
     A 2004 Senior Convertible Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such 2004 Senior Convertible Note may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

	 	
     Conversion Generally. The initial Conversion Rate is 16.2760 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of each 2004 Senior Convertible Note, subject to adjustment for certain events described in the Indenture. The Company will pay to the holder of any converted 2004 Senior Convertible Note cash and, if the aggregate Conversion Value of the 2004 Senior Convertible Note to be converted exceeds the aggregate Accreted Principal Amount, shares of Common Stock as follows: (i) an amount in cash (the "Principal Return") equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate Conversion Value of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to be converted, and (B) the aggregate Accreted Principal Amount of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to be converted; (ii) if the aggregate Conversion Value of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to be converted is greater than the Accreted Principal Amount, the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the Daily Share Amounts (as defined in  the Indenture) for each Trading Day during the applicable Conversion Settlement Reference Period; and (iii) an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be payable as a result of the calculation in subsection (ii) above, calculated as provided in the Indenture. The ability to surrender Senior Convertible Notes for conversion will expire at the close of business on July 31, 2023.

	 	
     In the event the Company exercises its option pursuant to Section 1.03(h) of the Indenture to have, in lieu of having the Accreted Principal Amount increase, interest accrue on the 2004 Senior Convertible Note following a Tax Event, the Holder will be entitled on conversion to receive the same number of shares of Common Stock such Holder would have received if the Company had not exercised such option.

	 	
     Increases in the Accreted Principal Amount and cash interest (including Contingent Interest, if any, and interest payable upon the occurrence of a Tax Event, if any) will not be paid on 2004 Senior Convertible Notes that are converted, except accrued cash interest will be payable upon conversion of Senior Convertible Notes made concurrently with or after acceleration of 2004 Senior Convertible Notes following an Event of Default.  Any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive such interest payable on such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date and, except Senior Convertible Notes to be redeemed within this period, 2004 Senior Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion during such periods must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest, including Contingent Interest, with respect thereto that the registered Holder is to receive.

	 	
     To exercise its conversion right, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the 2004 Senior Convertible Note to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent, the Company or the Trustee and (4) pay any transfer or similar taxes, if required.

	 	
     A Holder may convert a portion of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note if the Original Principal Amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on the Common Stock except as provided in the Indenture. On conversion of a 2004 Senior Convertible Note, increases in the Accreted Principal Amount or cash interest (or interest if the Company has exercised its option provided for in paragraph 9 hereof) attributable to the period from the Issue Date (or, if the Company has exercised the option referred to in paragraph 9 hereof, the later of (x) the date of such exercise and (y) the date on which interest was last paid) through the Conversion Date shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through the delivery of the cash and Common Stock, if any, as provided above in exchange for the 2004 Senior Convertible Note being converted pursuant to the terms hereof, and the Principal Return and the fair market value of any shares of Common Stock issued, together with any such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, shall be treated as paid and issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for increases in the Accreted Principal Amount or cash interest (or interest, if the Company has exercised its option provided for in paragraph 9 hereof) accrued through the Conversion Date, and the balance, if any, shall be treated as issued in exchange for the Issue Price of the 2004 Senior Convertible Note being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.

	 	
     The Conversion Rate will be adjusted for dividends or distributions on Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company; subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of Common Stock; distributions to all Holders of Common Stock of certain rights to purchase Common Stock for a period expiring within 60 days of the record date for such distribution at less than the current market price of the Common Stock at the time of the announcement of the distribution, distributions to such Holders of assets or debt securities of the Company or certain rights to purchase securities of the Company (including cash dividends or distributions) and payments in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock by the Company or by a person other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceed the current market price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, as provided in the Indenture. However, no adjustment need be made if 2004 Senior Convertible Note Holders may participate in the transaction or in certain other cases. The Company from time to time may voluntarily increase the Conversion Rate.

	 	
     If the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange or a transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or upon certain distributions described in the Indenture, the right to convert a 2004 Senior Convertible Note into Common Stock may be changed into a right to convert it into securities, cash or other assets of the Company or another person.

	 	
     The Conversion Rate will not be adjusted for increases in the Accreted Principal Amount or accrued cash interest, and Contingent Interest, if any.

	
8.
	
     Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption.

	 	
     Any 2004 Senior Convertible Notes called for redemption, unless surrendered for conversion before the close of business on the Redemption Date, may be deemed to be purchased from the Holders of such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes at an amount not less than the Redemption Price, by one or more investment bankers or other purchasers who may agree with the Company to purchase such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes from the Holders, to convert them into Common Stock of the Company and to make payment for such 2004 Senior Convertible Notes to the Trustee in trust for such Holders.

     From and after the date (the "Tax Event Date") of the occurrence of a Tax Event after August 1, 2010, the Company shall have the option to elect, by notice to the Trustee, in lieu of having Accreted Principal Amount increase, to have interest accrue and be paid in cash at the annual rate equal to Six Month LIBOR plus 0.50% reset on each Interest Reset Date; provided that such rate shall never be less than 0%, on a Restated Principal Amount per $1,000 Original Principal Amount (the "Restated Principal Amount") equal to the accrued Accreted Principal Amount through the Tax Event Date or the date the Company exercises the option provided for in this paragraph 9, whichever is later (the "Option Exercise Date"). Such interest shall be payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year to Holders of record at the close of business on January 15 and July 15 immediately preceding such interest payment date. Interest will accrue from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Option Exercise Date.

	 	
     The Trustee shall notify Holders of Senior Convertible Notes within 15 days after the Option Exercise Date that the Company has exercised the option provided for in this paragraph.

	
10.
	
     Defaulted Interest.

	 	
     Except as otherwise specified with respect to the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes, any defaulted interest on any 2004 Senior Convertible Note shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date or accrual date, as the case may be, by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest may be paid by the Company as provided for in the Indenture.

	
11.

Determination of Additional Shares if the Stock Price and Effective Date are not set forth on the table above and the Stock Price is:

	between two Stock Prices on the table or the Effective Date is between two dates on the table, the number of Additional Shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price and the two Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

	in excess of $200.00 per share (subject to adjustment), no Additional Shares will be issued upon conversion; or

	less than $40.96 per share (subject to adjustment), no Additional Shares will be issued upon conversion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 2004 Senior Convertible Notes exceed 24.4141 for each $1,000 Original Principal Amount.
