Dear Sirs:

KEMET Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to Credit
Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (collectively,
the “Initial Purchasers”), upon the terms
set forth in a purchase agreement dated as of October 26, 2006 (the “Purchase Agreement”), $160,000,000 aggregate principal
amount (plus up to an additional $15,000,000
principal amount) of its 2.25% Convertible
Notes Due November 2026 (the “Initial Securities”)  The Initial Securities will be convertible
into shares of common stock, par value $0.01
per share, of the Company (the “Common  Stock”) at the conversion price
set forth in the Offering Circular dated October
26, 2006.  The Initial Securities
will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2006 (the “Indenture”), among the Company and Wachovia Bank, National
Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).  As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers to
enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees with the Initial
Purchasers, for the benefit of (i) the Initial Purchasers and (ii) the holders
of the Initial Securities and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Initial Securities (collectively, the “Securities”)
from time to time until such time as such Securities have been sold pursuant to
a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined below) (each of the foregoing a “Holder” and collectively the “Holders”), as follows:

1.  Shelf Registration.  (a) 
The Company shall, at its cost, prepare and, within 120 days after the
First Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
and thereafter use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared
effective (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) no later than
180 days after the date of original issuance of the Initial Securities, a
registration statement (the “Shelf Registration
Statement”) on Form S-3, which if the
Company is then eligible shall be an automatic shelf registration statement,
relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities (as
defined in Section 5 hereof) by the Holders thereof from time to time in
accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration
Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (hereinafter, the “Shelf Registration”); provided, however, that
no Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the
Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such
Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement
applicable to such Holder.

(b)  The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously
effective in order to permit the prospectus included therein (the “Prospectus”) to be 

lawfully delivered
by the Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period commencing on the date
of its effectiveness and terminating on the earlier of (i) the date that is two
years (or for such longer period if extended pursuant to Section 2(h)
below) after such date and (ii) the date on which all the Securities covered by
the Shelf Registration Statement (A) have been sold pursuant thereto, (B) may
be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or any successor rule
thereof, or otherwise transferred in a manner that results in (1) the
Securities not being subject to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act
and (2) the absence of a need for a restrictive legend regarding registration
under the Securities Act, assuming for the purposes of this Section 1(b)(ii)(B)
that the Holders thereof are not affiliates of the Company, or (C) cease to be
outstanding (in any such case, such period being called the “Shelf Registration Period”) .  The Company shall be deemed not to have used
its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that
would result in Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer
and sell such Securities during that period, unless such action is (i) required
by applicable law or (ii) taken by the Company in good faith and as
contemplated by Section 2(b)(v) and 2(b)(vi) below, and the Company thereafter
complies with the requirements of Section 2(h). 
All references in this Agreement to “Prospectus”
shall, except when the context requires, include any prospectus (or amendment
or supplement thereto) filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 2 of
this Agreement, including any “free writing prospectus” issued pursuant to
Section 2(d).

(c)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration
Statement and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of
each effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or
supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable
requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.

(d)
Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined below) agrees that if
such Holder wishes to sell Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement and the Prospectus, it will do so only in accordance
with this Section 1(d) and Section 2(h). 
Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities wishing to sell Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or the
Prospectus and to be listed as a selling securityholder in the Shelf
Registration Statement and the Prospectus at the time the Shelf Registration
Statement is declared effective (the “Effective Time”)
agrees to deliver a written notice, substantially in the form of Annex A to the
offering circular disseminated in connection with the issuance of the Firm
Securities (a “Notice and Questionnaire”) to the
Company at least one (1) Business Day (a “Business Day”
meaning each day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday) prior to the
filing of the Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereto.  From and after the date the Shelf
Registration Statement is declared effective, each Holder wishing to sell
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or the
Prospectus agrees to deliver a Notice and Questionnaire to the Company at least
ten (10) Business Days prior to any intended distribution of Transfer
Restricted Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement.  The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably
practicable after the later of the date of receipt of a Notice and
Questionnaire or the expiration of any Suspension Period (as defined in Section
2(b) hereof) in effect when the Notice and Questionnaire is delivered (i) if
required by applicable law, file with the Commission a post-effective amendment
to the Shelf Registration Statement or prepare and, if required by applicable
law, file a supplement to the Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any
document incorporated therein by reference or file any other document required
under the Securities Act so that the Holder delivering such Notice and
Questionnaire is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration
Statement and the Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to
deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Transfer Restricted Securities in
accordance with applicable law and, if the Company shall file a post-effective
amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under
the Securities Act as promptly as is practicable; (ii) provide such Holder
copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 1(d)(i); and (iii) notify
such Holder 

 2
 

as promptly as
practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any
post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 1(d)(i).

2.  Registration Procedures.  In connection with the Shelf Registration
contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)  The Company shall (i) give notice to the
Holders in the manner as set forth in the Indenture (A) of its intention to
file a Shelf Registration Statement (the “Filing Notice”)
and (B) when the Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been
filed with the Commission and when the Shelf Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;  (ii) furnish to each Initial Purchaser,
prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Shelf
Registration Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement, if any,
to the Prospectus included therein and, in the event that an Initial Purchaser
(with respect to any portion of an unsold allotment from the original offering)
is participating in the Shelf Registration Statement, shall use its reasonable
best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the
Commission, such comments as such Initial Purchaser reasonably may propose; and
(iii) include in the Prospectus included in the Shelf Registration
Statement (or, if permitted by Commission Rule 430B(b), in a prospectus
supplement that becomes a part thereof pursuant to Commission
Rule 430B(f)) that is delivered to any Holder pursuant to
Section 2(d) and (e) the names of the Holders who propose to sell
Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement as selling
securityholders.  The Filing Notice will
seek, among other things, a determination from each such Holder as to whether
such Holder elects to have its Notes and the Common Stock issuable on
conversion thereof registered for sale pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement.

(b)  The Company shall give written notice to the
Initial Purchasers and the Holders of the Securities (which notice pursuant to
clauses (ii)-(vi) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to
suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made):

(i) when the Shelf
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the
Commission and when the Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto has become effective;

(ii) of any request by
the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Shelf Registration
Statement or the Prospectus included therein or for additional information, or
it shall become necessary to amend such Shelf Registration Statement or
supplement the related prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the  Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or the respective rules thereunder;

(iii) of the issuance by
the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose,
or the issuance by the Commission of a notification of objection to the use of
the form on which the Shelf Registration Statement has been filed, and of the
happening of any event that causes the Company to become an “ineligible issuer,”
as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act;

(iv) of the receipt by
the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction
or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(v) of the happening of
any event that requires the Company to make changes in the Shelf Registration
Statement or the Prospectus in order that the Shelf Registration Statement or
the Prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and

 3
 

(vi) the occurrence or
existence of any pending corporate development or other similar event with
respect to the Company or a public filing with the Commission that, in the
reasonable discretion of the Company, makes it appropriate to suspend the
availability of a Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

The Company shall be entitled
to exercise its right under this Section 2(b) to suspend the availability of
the Shelf Registration Statement and any Prospectus upon the occurrence of any
event contemplated by clauses (ii) through (vi) above, without incurring or
accruing any obligation to pay Additional Interest pursuant to Section 5,
except to the extent provided in Section 5(a)(iii), for one or more periods not
to exceed an aggregate of 45 days in any 12-month period (such period, during
which the availability of the Registration Statement and any Prospectus is
suspended being a “Suspension Period”).

(c)  The Company shall make every reasonable
effort to obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order
suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement.

(d)  The Company shall furnish to each Holder of
Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without
charge, an electronic copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective
amendment or supplement thereto, including financial statements and schedules,
and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including
those, if any, incorporated by reference). 
The Company shall not, without the prior consent of the Initial
Purchasers, make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free
writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

(e)  The Company shall, during the Shelf
Registration Period, deliver to each Holder of Securities included within the
coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, an electronic copy of the
Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the Shelf
Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person
may reasonably request.  The Company
consents during the Shelf Registration Period, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto by each of the selling Holders of the Securities in connection with the
offering and sale of the Securities covered by the Prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement.

(f)  Prior to any public offering of the
Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall
register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included
therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or
qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue
sky” laws of such states of the United States as any Holder of the Securities
reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things
necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of
the Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do
business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or
(ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process
or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

(g)  The Company shall cooperate with the Holders
of the Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any
Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such
denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a
reasonable period of time prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement.

(h)  Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated
by paragraphs (ii) through (vi) of Section 2(b) above during the
period for which the Company is required to maintain an effective Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare
and file, if necessary pursuant to applicable law, a post-effective
amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to
the Prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered
to Holders or 

 4
 

purchasers of the
Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.  If
the Company notifies the Initial Purchasers and the Holders in accordance with
paragraphs (ii) through (vi) of Section 2(b) above to suspend the use
of the Prospectus until the requisite changes to the Prospectus have been made,
then the Initial Purchasers and the Holders shall suspend use of such
Prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement
provided for in Section 1(b)(i) above shall be extended by the number
of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and
including the date when the Initial Purchasers and the Holders shall have been
advised by the Company that the Prospectus may be used or have received such
amended or supplemented Prospectus pursuant to this Section 2(h).  During the period during which the Company is
required to maintain an effective Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company will prior to the three-year expiration of such
Shelf Registration Statement file, and use its best efforts to cause to be
declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing)
within a period that avoids any interruption in the ability of Holders of
Securities covered by the expiring Shelf Registration Statement to make
registered dispositions, a new registration statement relating to the
Securities, which shall be deemed the “Shelf Registration Statement” for
purposes of this Agreement.

(i)  Not later than the effective date of the
Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will provide CUSIP numbers for the
Initial Securities and the Common Stock registered under the Shelf Registration
Statement, and provide the Trustee with printed certificates for the Initial
Securities, in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company.

(j)  The Company will comply with all rules and regulations
of the Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the Shelf
Registration and will make generally available to its security holders (or
otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act)
an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act, no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month
period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the
first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the
effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, which statement shall cover
such 12-month period.

(k)  The Company shall cause the Indenture to be
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (the “Trust Indenture Act”) in a timely manner
and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such
qualification.  In the event that such
qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee under the
Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the Indenture.

(l)  The Company may require each Holder of
Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish
to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of
the Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for
inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from
such registration the Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to
furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such
request.  Each Holder agrees, by
acquisition of the Securities, to be bound by and to comply in all respects
with its obligations as a Holder under this Agreement and that no Holder of
Securities shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by the
Shelf Registration Statement or to sell any of such Securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto,
unless such Holder has furnished the Company with a Notice and Questionnaire as
required in accordance with Section 1(d) (including all information required to
be included in such Notice and Questionnaire) and the information set forth in
the next sentence.  Each Holder agrees
promptly to furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed in
order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such
Holder not misleading and any other information regarding such Holder and the
distribution of such Securities as may be required to be disclosed in the Shelf
Registration Statement under applicable law or pursuant to comments of the
Commission or as the Company may reasonably request.

 5
 

(m)  The Company shall enter into such customary
agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary
form) and take all such other actions, if any, as any Holder shall reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities pursuant to
the Shelf Registration; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
facilitate an underwritten offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement
by any Holders (x) on more than two occasions and (y) unless, on each such
occasion, the offering relates to at least $50,000,000 of the Initial
Securities or an equivalent amount of Common Stock.

(n)  The Company shall (i) make reasonably
available for inspection by the Holders, any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such underwriter, all
relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company and (ii) cause the Company’s officers,
directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information
reasonably requested by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney,
accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in
each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct
a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the
Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection
and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial
Purchasers by you and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel designated
by and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 3 hereof.

(o)  The Company, if requested in connection with
an underwritten offering by any Holder of Securities covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement, shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion
and updates thereof relating to the Securities in customary form addressed to
such Holders and the Managing Underwriters (defined below), if any, thereof,
and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date of such Shelf
Registration Statement substantially in the form of the opinion delivered by
such counsel on the First Closing Date pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Purchase
Agreement with such changes as are customary in connection with the preparation
of a Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that such opinion shall state that (A) as of the
date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration
Statement or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto or most
recent prospectus supplement thereto that is deemed to establish a new
effective date with respect thereto, as the case may be, such Shelf
Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any prospectus supplement
included therein, as then amended or supplemented, and any documents incorporated
by reference therein, do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading; and (B) as of an applicable time on
the date of pricing identified by such Holders or Managing Underwriters, if
any, that the Prospectus (as supplemented by the most recent prospectus
amendment or supplement thereto), taken together with (1) the most recent
Prospectus or prospectus amendment or supplement, (2) any “free writing
prospectuses” issued in compliance with Section 2(d) and (3) the pricing
information with respect to the applicable Securities,  do not contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in
which they are made, not misleading; (ii) its officers to execute and
deliver all customary documents and certificates and updates thereof requested
by any underwriters of the Securities and (iii) its independent public
accountants and the independent public accountants with respect to any other
entity for which financial information is provided in the Shelf Registration
Statement to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable Securities and
any underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary form and covering
matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with
primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation
as contemplated, and only if permitted, by AU Section 634.

(p)  The Company will use its best efforts to
(a) if the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of
such Initial Securities, confirm such ratings will apply to the Securities
covered by a Shelf Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial
Securities were not previously rated, cause the Securities covered by a Shelf
Registration Statement to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, if so
requested by 

 6
 

Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered by the Shelf Registration
Statement, or by the Managing Underwriters (defined below), if any.

(q)  In the event that any broker-dealer
registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or
participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist
in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the “Rules”) of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (“NASD”)) thereof, whether as a Holder of
such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or
dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will assist such broker-dealer
in complying with the requirements of such Rules, including, without
limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 2720, shall so
require, engaging a “qualified independent underwriter” (as defined in
Rule 2720) to participate in the preparation of the Shelf Registration
Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due
diligence with respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated
by such Shelf Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made
through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities,
(ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent
of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and
(iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be
required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements
of the Rules.

(r)  The Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the
Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement contemplated hereby.

3.  Registration Expenses.  (a) All expenses incident to the Company’s
performance of and compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company,
regardless of whether a Shelf Registration Statement is ever filed or becomes
effective, including without limitation;

(i)  all registration and filing fees and
expenses;

(ii) all fees and
expenses of compliance with federal securities and state “blue sky” or
securities laws;

(iii) all expenses

(iv) all fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company;

(v) all application

Purchasers and the Holders of Securities covered by the Shelf Registration
Statement, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one
counsel, designated by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (provided that Holders
of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Initial Securities shall be
deemed to be Holders of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities
from which such Common Stock was converted) to act as counsel for the Holders
in connection therewith.

 7
 

4.  Indemnification.  (a) 
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each
person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act (each Holder, and such controlling persons are referred
to collectively as the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including,
but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions
relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified
Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus
including any document incorporated by reference therein, or in any amendment
or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or “issuer free writing
prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (“Issuer FWP”), relating to the Shelf Registration, or arise
out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified
Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement made in, or omission or alleged omission from, the
Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to the Shelf
Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such
Holder specifically for inclusion therein; provided further, however,
that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the
Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party.  The Company shall also indemnify
underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such
underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to
the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the
Holders of the Securities if requested by such Holders.

(b)  Each Holder, severally and not jointly, will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such
controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or
Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to the Shelf Registration, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case
only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on
behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the
limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as
incurred, the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
the Company or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or
defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition
to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of
its controlling persons.

(c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
party under this Section 4 of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under this Section 4, notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof; but the failure to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any 

 8
 

liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to
the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of
substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the
failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability that it may have to an indemnified
party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above.  In case any such action is brought
against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not,
except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the
indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this
Section 4 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of
investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof.  No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in
respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless
such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party
from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action,
and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)  If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 4 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one
hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.  The relative fault of
the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as
the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.  The amount paid by an
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed
to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which
is the subject of this subsection (d). 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4(d), the
Holders shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount
by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the
Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement exceeds the amount of
damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For
purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such
indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Company.

(e)  The agreements contained in this
Section 4 shall survive the sale of the Securities pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of
any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by
or on behalf of any indemnified party.

5.  Additional Interest Under
Certain Circumstances. 
(a)  Additional interest (the “Additional
Interest”) with respect to the Initial
Securities and the underlying shares of Common Stock that are registrable
securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur
(each such event in clauses (i) through (iii) below being herein called a “Registration Default”):

 9
 

 

 (i)  the
Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission by the 120th after the first date of original issuance of
the Initial Securities;

(ii)  the Shelf Registration Statement has not
become effective by the 180th day after the
first date of original issue of the Initial Securities; or

(iii)  the Shelf Registration Statement becomes
effective but (A) the Shelf Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be
effective without being succeeded immediately by a replacement registration
statement or (B) the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus ceases
to be usable in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities (as
defined below) during the periods specified herein for a period of time
(including any Suspension Period) which exceeds 90 days in the aggregate in any
consecutive 12-month period during the Shelf Registration Period because either
(1) any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus forming part of
such Shelf Registration Statement would include any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not
misleading, (2) it shall be necessary to amend such Shelf Registration
Statement or supplement the related Prospectus, to comply with the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, or (3) such
Registration Statement is a Shelf Registration Statement that has expired
before a replacement Shelf Registration Statement has become effective.

Each of the
foregoing will constitute a Registration Default whatever the reason for any
such event and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is beyond the control
of the Company or pursuant to operation of law or as a result of any action or
inaction by the Commission .

Additional
Interest shall accrue on the Initial Securities and the shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of the Initial Securities over and above the interest
set forth in the title of the Initial Securities from and including the date on
which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on
which all such Registration Defaults have been cured, at a rate of
(a) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Initial Securities (or
an equivalent amount for any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of
the Initial Securities) per year (the “Additional Interest Rate”)
to and including the 90th day immediately following the occurrence of such
Registration Default and (b) 0.50% of the principal amount of the Initial
Securities (or an equivalent amount for any shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of the Initial Securities) per year from and after the 91st day
following such Registration Default.

(b)  A Registration Default referred to in
Section 5(a)(iii) hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be
continuing in relation to the Shelf Registration Statement or the related
Prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a
result of (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Shelf
Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with
respect to the Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet
effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the
related Prospectus or (y) other material events, with respect to the Company
that would need to be described in such Shelf Registration Statement or the
related Prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company is
proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement the Shelf
Registration Statement and related Prospectus to describe such events as
required by paragraph 2(h) hereof; provided, however, that in any
case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of
45 days in any consecutive twelve month period, Additional Interest shall
be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such
Registration Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured.

(c)  Any amounts of Additional Interest due
pursuant to Section 5(a) will be payable in cash on the regular interest
payment dates with respect to the Initial Securities.  The amount of Additional Interest will be
determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest Rate by the
principal amount of the Initial Securities (plus, with respect to any shares of
Common Stock issued upon conversion of Initial Securities, 

 10
 

the principal
amount of the Initial Securities from which such shares were converted),
further multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days such Additional Interest Rate was applicable during such period
(determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months), and the denominator of which is 360.

(d)  “Transfer Restricted
Securities” means each Initial Security until (i) the date on
which such Initial Security has been effectively registered under the Securities
Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or
(ii) the date on which such Security is distributed to the public pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or is saleable pursuant to
Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.

6.  Rules 144 and 144A.  The Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not
required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder, make
publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of
their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A during the Shelf
Registration Period.  The Company
covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to
sell Transfer Restricted Securities without registration under the Securities
Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A
(including the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)).  The Company will provide a copy of this
Agreement to prospective purchasers of Securities identified to the Company by
the Initial Purchasers upon request. 
Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder
a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in
this Section 6 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of
its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

7.  Underwritten Registrations.  If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by the Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering,
the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer
the offering (the “Managing Underwriters”)
shall be designated by the Company subject to the consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted Securities
to be included in such offering (provided that Holders of Common Stock issued
upon conversion of the Initial Securities shall not be deemed Holders of Common
Stock, but shall be deemed to be holders of the aggregate principal amount of
Initial Securities from which such Common Stock was converted).

No
person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such
person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the
basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.

8.  Miscellaneous.

(a)  Remedies.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that any
failure by the Company to comply with its obligations hereunder may result in
material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which
there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure
damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure,
the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required
to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations hereunder.  The Company further agrees to waive the
defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.

(b)  No Inconsistent Agreements.  The Company will not on or after the date of
this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is
inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. 
The rights granted to the 

 11
 

Holders hereunder
do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights
granted to the holders of the Company’s securities under any agreement in
effect on the date hereof.

(c)  Amendments and Waivers. 
The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given, except by the Company with the written consent of the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Securities affected by such amendment,
modification, supplement, waiver or consent (provided that Holders of Common
Stock issued upon conversion of Initial Securities shall not be deemed Holders
of Common Stock, but shall be deemed to be Holders of the aggregate principal
amount of Initial Securities from which such Common Stock was converted).  Without the consent of the Holder of each
Initial Security, however, no modification may change the provisions relating
to the payment of Additional Interest.

(d)  Notices.  All notices and other communications provided
for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, first-class
mail, facsimile transmission, or air courier which guarantees overnight
delivery:

Holder of the Securities, at the most current address given by such Holder to
the Company.

nonexclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the State of New
York.

(j)  Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions

invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions

Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or
approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, the
Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them from giving effect to
any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a
Depository, or any of its members and any other Person on whose behalf such
member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing
the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Securities.

(e)  Certificated
Securities.  Certificated Securities
shall be issued only under the circumstances provided in Section 2.12(a)(i).

SECTION 2.2. 
Execution and Authentication. 
(a)  A duly authorized Officer of
the Company shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile
signature.

(b)  If
an Officer of the Company whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall
be valid nevertheless.

(c)  A
Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee
manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security.  The signature shall be conclusive evidence
that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

(d) 
The Trustee shall initially authenticate and make available for delivery
Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of up to
$160,000,000 ($175,000,000, if the Initial Purchasers exercise their
over-allotment option in full in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) upon
receipt of a written order or orders of the Company signed by an Officer of the
Company (a “Company Order”).  The
Trustee shall authenticate additional Securities (the “Additional Securities”)
thereafter in unlimited aggregate principal amount (so long as permitted by the
terms of this Indenture) for original issue upon a Company Order of the Company
in 

 10
 

aggregate principal amount as specified in such order (except as
provided in Section 2.7). 
Each such Company Order shall specify the amount of Securities to be
authenticated and the date on which the Securities are to be
authenticated.  Such Additional
Securities shall have identical terms to the Initial Securities except for
issuance dates and prices and with respect to interest accruing prior to their
date of issuance, and will constitute the same series as the Initial Securities
for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments,
redemptions and offers to purchase.  At
the option of the Company, the Additional Securities may have the same CUSIP
number as the Initial Securities; provided that
if any Additional Securities are issued at a price that causes such Additional
Securities to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273
of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, such Additional
Securities shall not have the same CUSIP number as the Initial Securities.

(e) 
The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent.  Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities.  An authenticating agent may authenticate
Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. 
Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee
includes authentication by such agent. 
An authenticating agent shall have the same rights as an Agent to deal
with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

The Securities shall be
issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of
$1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 2.3. 
Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.  The Company shall maintain an office or
agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for
exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency in the United States where
Securities may be presented for redemption, purchase or payment (“Paying
Agent”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
conversion (“Conversion Agent”) and an office or agency where notices
and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be served.  The Registrar
shall keep a register of the Securities (“Register”) and of their
transfer and exchange.

The Company may have one
or more co-registrars, one or more additional paying agents, and one or more
additional conversion agents.  The term “Registrar”
includes any co-registrar, including any named pursuant to Section 9.6.  The term “Paying Agent” includes any
additional paying agent, including any named pursuant to Section 9.6.  The term “Conversion Agent” includes any
additional conversion agent, including any named pursuant to Section 9.6.

The Company shall enter into
an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this
Indenture.  The agreement shall implement
the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent.  The Company shall notify the Trustee of the
name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.  If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar,
Paying Agent or Conversion Agent or agent for service of notices and demands in
any place required by this Indenture, or fails to give the foregoing notice,
the Trustee shall act as such.  The
Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent.

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

SECTION 2.4. 
Paying Agent to Hold Money and Securities in Trust.  Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time,
on each due date of payments in respect of, or delivery of Cash in an amount
equal to the Principal Return of any Security, as well as Cash or a combination
of Cash and shares of Common Stock, as applicable and as provided herein, in
respect of any remaining amount by 

 11
 

which the Conversion Value exceeds the principal amount of such
Security, upon conversion of, such Security, the Company shall deposit with the
Paying Agent Cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the due date)
or with the Conversion Agent such number of shares of Common Stock or other
consideration sufficient to make such payments or deliveries when so becoming
due.  The Company shall require each
Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable (other than the Trustee), to
agree in writing that such Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
Securityholders or the Trustee all Cash, Common Stock or other consideration,
as applicable, held by such Agent for the making of payments or deliveries in
respect of the Securities and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
default by the Company in making any such payment or delivery.  If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company
acts as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, it shall segregate the
Cash, Common Stock and other consideration, as applicable, held by it as Paying
Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, and hold it as a separate trust fund.

The Company at any time
may require a Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, to pay all Cash,
Common Stock or other consideration, as applicable, held by it to the Trustee,
and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Default, upon
written request to the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, as applicable,
require such Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, to pay forthwith
to the Trustee all Cash, Common Stock or other consideration, as applicable, so
held in trust by such Paying Agent or Conversion Agent.  Upon doing so, the Paying Agent or the
Conversion Agent, as applicable, shall have no further liability for such Cash,
Common Stock or other consideration, as applicable.

SECTION 2.5. 
Securityholder Lists.  The
Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the
most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the
Securityholders.  If the Trustee is not
the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each
Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing, a list of the names and addresses of the Securityholders in such form
and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably request.

SECTION 2.6. 
Transfer and Exchange. 
(a)  Subject to compliance with
any applicable additional requirements contained in Section 2.12,
when a Security is presented to a Registrar with a request to register a
transfer thereof or to exchange such Security for an equal principal amount of
Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the
transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided,
however, that every Security
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall, if
such Security is a Certificated Security, be duly endorsed or accompanied by an
assignment form, in the form included in Exhibit A attached hereto and, if
applicable, a transfer certificate, in the form included in Exhibit B attached
hereto, and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by
the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  To permit registration of transfers and
exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer or
exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.3,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company
Order, authenticate Securities of a like aggregate principal amount at the
Registrar’s request.  Any exchange or
transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company or the Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 13.5,
Article III, Article V or Article VII, in each case, not involving any
transfer.

Neither the Company, any
Registrar nor the Trustee shall be required to exchange or register a transfer
of (i) any Securities for a period of 15 days preceding any mailing of a notice
of 

 12
 

Securities to be
redeemed, (ii) any Securities or portions thereof selected or called for
redemption (except, in the case of redemption of a Security in part, the
portion thereof not to be redeemed) or (iii) any Securities or portions thereof
in respect of which a Put Notice has been delivered and not validly withdrawn
by the Holder thereof (except, in the case of the purchase of a Security in
part, the portion thereof not to be purchased).

All Securities issued
upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the
Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(b) 
Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 9.6
hereof shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may
reasonably request in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of
Securities upon transfer or exchange of Securities.

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

Any Holder of a Global
Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of
beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a
book-entry system maintained by the Depository (or its agent), and that
ownership of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be required to be
reflected in a book-entry system.

SECTION 2.7. 
Replacement Securities.  If
(a) any mutilated security is surrendered to the Company, a Registrar or the
Trustee, or (b) the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee receive evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and, in
either case, there is delivered to the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as shall be reasonably required by them to save each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, such Registrar
or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide or protected
purchaser, the Company shall issue, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a
Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal
amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become
due and payable, or is about to be redeemed pursuant to Article III or
purchased by the Company pursuant to Article V, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay, redeem or purchase such Security,
as the case may be, in accordance herewith.

Upon the issuance of any
new Securities under this Section 2.7, the Company may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable
expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee or the
Registrar) in connection therewith.

Every new Security issued
pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of 

 13
 

the Company,
whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at
any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly
issued and outstanding hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.7
are (to the extent lawful) exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful)
all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

SECTION 2.8. 
Outstanding Securities. 
Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by
the Trustee, except for those canceled by it, those paid, redeemed or
repurchased pursuant to Section 2.7, those delivered to it for
cancellation and those described in this Section 2.8 as not
outstanding.

If a Security is replaced
pursuant to Section 2.7 (other than a mutilated Security
surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee
receives, subsequent to the new Security’s authentication, proof satisfactory
to the Company that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide or protected
purchaser.  A mutilated Security ceases
to be outstanding upon surrender and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.7.

If the Paying Agent
holds, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, prior to
10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Final Maturity Date or a Redemption
Date or on a Put Purchase Date, as the case may be, Cash sufficient to pay all
Initial Securities and all Additional Securities then payable, then on and
after such Final Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Put Purchase Date, as the
case may be, such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest on such
Securities shall cease to accrue.

If a Security is
converted in accordance with Article VII, then on the Conversion Date, such
Security shall cease to be outstanding and interest on such Security shall
cease to accrue, unless there shall be a default in the delivery of the
consideration payable hereunder upon such conversion.

Subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 2.9, a Security does not cease to
be outstanding solely because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds
the Security.

SECTION 2.9. 
Treasury Securities.  In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities
have given or concurred in any notice, request, demand, authorization,
direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or any other
obligor on the Securities or by any Affiliate of the Company or of such other
obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for such
purposes, except that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be
protected in relying on any such notice, request, demand, authorization,
direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a Trust Officer actually
knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be
disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the
pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Securities and that the pledgee
is not, and is not acting on the behalf of, the Company or any other obligor on
the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.  The Company agrees to notify the Trustee in
writing of the existence of any such Treasury Securities or Securities owned by
the Company, any other obligor on the Securities, or any Affiliate of the
Company.

SECTION 2.10. 
Temporary Securities. 
Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may
prepare and execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities. 
Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the 

 14
 

form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company
reasonably considers appropriate for temporary Securities.  After the preparation of definitive
Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive
Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency
of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3,
without charge to the Holder.  Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the
Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized
denominations.  Until so exchanged the
temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

SECTION 2.11. 
Cancellation.  The Company
at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the
Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee or its agent any Securities
surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, redemption, payment or conversion.  The Trustee and no one else shall cancel, in
accordance with its standard procedures, all Securities surrendered for
transfer, exchange, redemption, payment, conversion or cancellation and shall
deliver the canceled Securities to the Company. 
The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it
has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has
converted pursuant to Article VII.

All Securities that are
redeemed or purchased pursuant to Articles III or V or otherwise acquired by
the Company shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.  If the Company shall acquire any of the
Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a repurchase or satisfaction
of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same
are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.12. 
Legend; Additional Transfer and Exchange Requirements.  (a)  Transfer
and Exchange of Global Securities. 
(i)  Certificated Securities shall
be issued in exchange for interests in the Global Securities only (x) if the
Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for the Global Securities or if it at any time ceases to be a “clearing
agency” registered under the Exchange Act, if so required by applicable law or
regulation, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within
90 days of such notice or (y) if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, each of clauses (x) and (y) in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures.  In any such case, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order
(which the Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver
Certificated Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such Global Securities in exchange therefor.  Only Restricted Certificated Securities shall
be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Restricted Global Securities,
and only Unrestricted Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for
beneficial interests in Unrestricted Global Securities.  Certificated Securities issued in exchange
for beneficial interests in Global Securities shall be registered in such names
and shall be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to
instructions from its Agent Members or otherwise in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Trustee.  The Trustee shall deliver or cause to be
delivered such Certificated Securities to the Persons in whose name such
Securities are so registered.  Such
exchange shall be effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.  In the event that the Certificated Securities
are not issued to each such beneficial owner promptly after the Registrar has
received a request from the Depositary to issue such Certificated Securities,
the Company expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to
pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 11.6 or 11.7 hereof, the
right of any beneficial holder of Securities to pursue such remedy with respect
to the portion of the Global Security that represents such Beneficial Owner’s
Securities as if such Certificated Securities had been issued.

 15
 

 

(ii) 
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture other than the
provisions set forth in Section 2.12(a)(i), a Global Security may
not be transferred except as a whole 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.

(b)  Transfer
and Exchange of Certificated Securities. 
In the event that Certificated Securities are issued in exchange for
beneficial interests in Global Securities in accordance with Section 2.12(a)(i),
and, on or after such event, Certificated Securities are presented by a Holder
to the Registrar with a request:

(x)  to register the transfer of the Certificated
Securities to a person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of
Certificated Securities only; or

(y)  to exchange such Certificated Securities for
an equal principal amount of Certificated Securities of other authorized
denominations,

such Registrar shall
register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however,
that the Certificated Securities presented or surrendered for register of
transfer or exchange:

(i)  shall be duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in accordance with the proviso
to the first sentence of Section 2.6(a); and

(ii)  in the case of a Restricted
Certificated Security, such request shall be accompanied by the following
additional information and documents, as applicable:

(1)  if such Restricted Certificated Security is
being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of
such Holder, without transfer, or such Restricted Certificated Security is
being transferred to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, a
certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form set
forth in Exhibit B);

(2)  if such Restricted Certificated Security is
being transferred to a person the Holder reasonably believes is a QIB in
accordance with Rule 144A, or pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under
the Securities Act, a certification to that effect from such Holder (in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B);

(3)  if such Restricted Certificated Security is
being transferred pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144 or pursuant to and in
compliance with another exemption from the registration requirements under the
Securities Act, a certification to that effect from the Holder (in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B) and, if the Company or the
Registrar so requests, an Opinion of Counsel, certificates and other
information reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act.

(c)  Transfer
of a Beneficial Interest in a Restricted Global Security for a Beneficial
Interest in an Unrestricted Global Security.  Any person having a beneficial interest in a
Restricted Global Security may upon request, subject to the Applicable
Procedures, transfer such 

 16
 

beneficial interest to a Person who is required or permitted to take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
Security.  Upon receipt by the Trustee of
written instructions, or such other form of instructions as is customary for the
Depositary, from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a
beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security and the following
additional information and documents in such form as is customary for the
Depositary from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of the Person having
such beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security (all of which may be
submitted by facsimile or electronically):

and other information reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that
such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act;

the Registrar shall
reduce or cause to be reduced the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted
Global Security by the appropriate principal amount and shall increase or cause
to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the Unrestricted Global
Security by a like principal amount. 
Such transfer shall otherwise be effected in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures.  If no
Unrestricted Global Security is then outstanding, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to
deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver an Unrestricted Global Security.

(d)  Transfer
of a Beneficial Interest in an Unrestricted Global Security for a Beneficial
Interest in a Restricted Global Security. 
Any person having a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
Security may upon request, subject to the Applicable Procedures, transfer such
beneficial interest to a person who is required or permitted to take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global
Security.  Upon receipt by the Trustee of
written instructions, or such other form of instructions as is customary for
the Depositary, from the Depository or its nominee on behalf of any person
having a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security and the
following additional information and documents in such form as is customary for

such beneficial interest is being transferred to a person that the transferor
reasonably believes is a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A;

forth in Exhibit B) and if the Company or the Trustee so requests, an Opinion of

 17
 

Counsel,
certificates and other information reasonably acceptable to the Company to the
effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities
Act; or

(iv)  a certification (in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B) to the effect that such
beneficial interest is being transferred to the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company, the Registrar shall reduce or cause to be reduced the aggregate
principal amount of the Unrestricted Global Security by the appropriate
principal amount and shall increase or cause to be increased the aggregate
principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by a like principal
amount.  Such transfer shall otherwise be
effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.  If no Restricted Global Security is then
outstanding, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a
Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and
deliver a Restricted Global Security.

(e)  Transfers
of Certificated Securities for Beneficial Interest in Global Securities.  In the event that Certificated Securities are
issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Securities and,
thereafter, the events or conditions specified in Section 2.12(a)(i)
which required such exchange shall cease to exist, the Company shall mail
notice to the Trustee and to the Holders (i) stating that Holders may exchange
Certificated Securities for interests in Global Securities by complying with
the procedures set forth in this Indenture and (ii) briefly describing such
procedures and the events or circumstances requiring that such notice be
given.  Thereafter, if Certificated
Securities are presented by a Holder to a Registrar with a request:

(x)  to register the transfer of such Certificated
Securities to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in a Global Security, which request shall specify whether
such Global Security will be a Restricted Global Security or an Unrestricted
Global Security; or

(y)  to exchange such Certificated Securities for
an equal principal amount of beneficial interests in a Global Security, which
beneficial interests will be owned by the Holder transferring such Certificated
Securities (provided that in the case of such an exchange, Restricted
Certificated Securities may be exchanged only for Restricted Global Securities
and Unrestricted Certificated Securities may be exchanged only for Unrestricted
Global Securities),

the Registrar shall
register the transfer or make the exchange as requested by canceling such
Certificated Security and causing the aggregate principal amount of the
applicable Global Security to be increased accordingly and, if no such Global
Security is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall,
upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly)
authenticate and deliver a new Global Security; provided,
however, that the Certificated
Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange:

(i)  shall be duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in accordance with the proviso
to Section 2.6(a);

Unrestricted Certificated Security to be transferred or exchanged for a
beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security, or in the case of a
Restricted Certificated Security to be exchanged (and not transferred) for a
beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security, such request need not be
accompanied by any additional information or documents; and

(v)  in the case of an
Unrestricted Certificated Security to be transferred or exchanged for a
beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security, such request shall be accompanied
by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

(f)  Legends.  (i) 
Except as permitted by the following paragraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv),
each Global Security and Certificated Security (and all Securities issued in
exchange therefor or upon registration of transfer or replacement thereof)
shall bear a legend in substantially the form called for by footnote 2 to
Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Restricted Legend”), for so long as it
is required by this Indenture to bear such legend.

(ii) 
Upon any sale or transfer of a Restricted Security (x) after the
expiration of the holding period applicable to sales of the Securities under
Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, (y) pursuant to Rule 144 or (z) pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act:

(1)  in the case of any Restricted Certificated
Security, each Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to transfer such
Restricted Certificated Security to a transferee who, unless such transferee is
an Affiliate of the Company, shall take such Security in the form of an
Unrestricted Certificated Security or (under the circumstances described in Section 2.12(e))
an Unrestricted Global Security, and in each case shall rescind any restriction
on the transfer of such Security; provided, however, that the Holder of such Restricted Certificated Security
shall, in connection with such exchange or transfer, comply with the other
applicable provisions of this Section 2.12; and

(2)  in the case of a Restricted Global Security,
each Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to transfer such beneficial interest
in a Restricted Global Security to a transferee who, unless such transferee is
an Affiliate of the Company, shall take such Security in the form of a
beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security and shall rescind any
restriction on transfer of such Security; provided, however, that such Unrestricted Global Security shall
continue to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(a)(ii);
and provided further, however,
that the owner of such beneficial interest shall, in connection with such transfer,
comply with the other applicable provisions of this Section 2.12.

If the Applicable
Procedures so require, prior to the removal of any restrictive legend at the
end of the holding period applicable to sales of the Securities under
Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, such requesting Holder shall deliver an
Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect
that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and the restrictive legend
are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

(iii) 
Upon the exchange, registration of transfer or replacement of Securities
not bearing the Restricted Legend, the Company shall issue, and the Trustee
shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver
promptly), authenticate and deliver, Securities that do not bear such
Restricted Legend.

(iv) 
After the expiration of the holding period pursuant to Rule 144(k) of
the Securities Act, the Company may with the consent of any Holder of a Restricted
Global Security or a Restricted Certificated Security that is not an Affiliate
of the Company, remove any restriction of transfer on such Security, and the
Company shall issue, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order
(which the Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver
Securities that do not bear the Restricted Legend.

 

 20

(v)  Until the expiration of the
holding period applicable to sales of the Securities under Rule 144(k) of the
Securities Act or a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, the shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of the Securities shall bear a legend substantially to
the same effect as the Restricted Legend; provided
that all Securities held by Affiliates of the Company shall bear the Restricted
Legend at all times.

(g)  Transfers to the Company.  Nothing contained in this Indenture or in the
Securities shall prohibit the sale or other transfer of any Securities
(including beneficial interests in Global Securities) to the Company, or any of
its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates.

SECTION 2.13.  CUSIP Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Securities may use
one or more “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers (if then generally in
use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar
numbers in notices of redemption or purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided, however,
that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained
in any notice of a redemption or purchase and that reliance may be placed only
on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such
redemption or purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of
such numbers.  The Company shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar
numbers.

SECTION 2.14.  Ranking.  The obligations of the Company arising under
or in connection with this Indenture and every outstanding Security issued
under this Indenture from time to time constitutes and shall constitute a
senior unsecured general obligation of the Company, ranking equally with
existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company and ranking
senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of the Company that is
expressly made subordinate to the Securities by the terms of such indebtedness.

SECTION 2.15.  Persons Deemed
Owners.  Prior to due presentment of
a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent
of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name such Security
is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of, Redemption Price or Put Price, and interest on the
Security, for the purpose of receiving Common Stock or Cash and for all other
purposes, including without limitation, for purposes of giving notices
hereunder, whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the
Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.  The
registered Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise
authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold
interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled
to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

SECTION 2.16.  Defaulted
Interest.  If the Company defaults on
a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest,
plus (to the extent permitted by law) any interest payable on the defaulted
interest, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Persons who are Holders
on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business
Days prior to the payment date.  The
Company shall fix such special record date and payment date in a reasonable
manner.  At least 10 days before such
special record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder a notice that states
the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest,
and interest payable on defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.  The Company may make payment of any defaulted
interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if
applicable) of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed
and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange.

ARTICLE III

Redemption

SECTION 3.1.  Redemption of
Securities; Notice to Trustee. 
(a)  Upon any redemption pursuant
to this Section 3.1, the Company shall provide the notice required
by Section 3.3 hereof (which notice may be revoked at any time
prior to the time at which the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, has
given such notice to Securityholders) and shall pay a redemption price in Cash
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus
any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to, but
excluding, the date fixed for redemption, payable in Cash (the “Redemption
Price”).

(b)  At any time on and after
November 20, 2011, the Securities may be redeemed at any time or from time
to time at the option of the Company in whole or in part at the Redemption
Price.

(c)  In the event that the
Company elects to redeem the Securities on a Redemption Date that is after any
Interest Payment Record Date but on or before the corresponding Interest
Payment Date or that results in the conversion of the Securities prior to that
Interest Payment Date, the Company shall be required to pay any accrued and
unpaid interest to the same Holder to whom the Company pays the principal of
such Security regardless of whether such Holder was the registered Holder on
the Interest Payment Record Date immediately preceding such Redemption Date
and, if the Holder to whom the Company pays the principal and interest was not
the registered Holder on the Interest Payment Record Date, such payment of
interest shall be in lieu of payment to the registered Holder on such Interest
Payment Record Date.

(d)  If the Company elects to
redeem Securities pursuant to this Section 3.1 and paragraph 5
of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Date and the
principal amount of Securities to be redeemed at least 15 days prior to the
date notice of the Redemption Date is given to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.3
(unless a shorter notice period shall be consented to in writing by the
Trustee).

SECTION 3.2.  Selection of
Securities to be Redeemed.  If less
than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, unless the Applicable Procedures
provide otherwise, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed.  The Trustee shall make the selection by lot,
on a pro rata basis or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures to the
extent the Securities are issued as Global Securities.  Securities in denominations of $1,000
principal amount may only be redeemed in whole. 
The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000
principal amount or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of
Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000 principal amount.  Provisions of this Indenture that apply to
Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called
for redemption.  The Trustee shall notify
the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of the Securities to be
redeemed.

Securities and portions
of Securities that are to be redeemed are convertible by the Holder until 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Redemption Date.  If any Security
selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the
conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the
converted portion of such Security shall be deemed to be taken from the portion
selected for redemption.  Securities that
have been converted subsequent to the Trustee commencing selection of Securities
to be redeemed but prior to redemption of such Securities shall be treated by
the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

 22
 

SECTION 3.3.  Notice of Redemption.  At least 15 days but not more than
60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail or cause to be
mailed or delivered a notice of redemption to each Holder of Securities to be
redeemed in accordance with Section 16.2.

The notice shall identify
the Securities (including the CUSIP number(s) of the Securities) to be redeemed
and shall state:

(1)  the
Redemption Date;

(2)  the
Redemption Price;

(3)  the then
current Conversion Rate;

(4)  the names
and addresses of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;

(5)  that
Securities called for redemption must be presented and surrendered to the
Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

(6)  that
Holders who wish to convert Securities must surrender such Securities for
conversion prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Redemption Date and must satisfy the other
requirements set forth in paragraph 8 of the Securities and Article VII hereof;

(7)  that,
unless the Company defaults in making the payment of the Redemption Price,
interest on Securities called for redemption shall cease accruing on and after
the Redemption Date;

(8)  if any
Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such
Security to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, upon presentation
and surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in aggregate
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued; and

(9)  whether,
with respect to Securities converted during the period between the date of
mailing of the Notice of Redemption and the Redemption Date, the Company shall
satisfy its Remaining Conversion Obligation, in respect of any amount by which
the Conversion Value exceeds the principal amount of such Securities, in Cash
or a combination of both Cash and Common Stock.

If any of the Securities
to be redeemed is in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall
modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the Applicable
Procedures applicable to redemptions.

At the Company’s written
request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption to each Holder in the
Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided,
however, that the Company makes such
request at least three Business Days (unless a shorter period shall be
consented to in writing by the Trustee) prior to the date by which such notice
of redemption must be given to Holders in accordance with this Section 3.3;
provided further, however,
that the text of the notice of redemption shall be prepared by the Company.

SECTION 3.4.  Effect of Notice
of Redemption.  Once notice of redemption
is mailed or delivered, Securities called for redemption become due and payable
on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price stated in the notice, except
for Securities that are converted in accordance 

 23
 

with the
provisions of this Indenture.  Upon
surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption
Price.

SECTION 3.5.  Deposit of
Redemption Price.  Prior to 10:00
a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Redemption Date, the Company shall
deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or an Affiliate acts as
Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.4)
an amount of Cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on such
Redemption Date) sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price of all
Securities or portions thereof that are to be redeemed on that Redemption Date,
other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date
that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or have
been delivered by the Holder thereof for conversion.

If the Paying Agent
holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the applicable Redemption Date, Cash sufficient to pay the Redemption Price
of all Securities to be redeemed on such date, then, on and after such
Redemption Date, such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest on
such Securities shall cease to accrue, whether or not such Securities are
delivered by their Holders to the Paying Agent, and the rights of the Holders
in respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the
Redemption Price upon delivery of such Securities by their Holders to the
Paying Agent).

SECTION 3.6.  Securities
Redeemed in Part.  Any Certificated
Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office
of the Paying Agent and, promptly after the Redemption Date, the Company shall
issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company
agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such
Security without service charge a new Security or Securities, of such
authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested in writing by such
Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the
portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered that is not
redeemed.

SECTION 3.7.  Repayment to the
Company.  To the extent that the
aggregate amount of Cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.5
exceeds the aggregate Redemption Price of the Securities or portions thereof
that the Company is obligated to redeem on the Redemption Date (because of the
conversion of Securities pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) then, promptly
after the Redemption Date, the Paying Agent shall return any such excess Cash
to the Company.

ARTICLE IV

[Reserved]

ARTICLE V

Put Option

SECTION 5.1.  Purchase of
Securities at Option of the Holder upon a Fundamental Change.  (a)  In
the event a Fundamental Change shall occur at any time when any Securities
remain outstanding, the Securities shall be purchased by the Company, at the
option of any Holder thereof, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6
of the Securities on a date specified by the Company (the “Fundamental
Change Purchase Date”) that is not less than 15 nor more than
45 Business Days after the date the Company mails the Fundamental Change
Company Notice pursuant to Section 5.1(b), at a purchase price in
Cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of 

 24
 

the Securities
tendered for purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional
Interest, if any) to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date
(the “Fundamental Change Purchase Price”), subject to satisfaction by or
on behalf of any Holder of the requirements set forth in Section 5.1(c).

A “Fundamental Change”
shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(1)  any “person”
or “group” becomes the “beneficial owner,” directly or indirectly, of shares of
the Company’s voting stock representing 50% or more of the total voting power
of all outstanding classes of the Company’s voting stock or has the power,
directly or indirectly, to elect a majority of the members of the “board of
directors” of the Company and (i) such “person” or “group” files a
Schedule 13D or Schedule TO, or any successor schedule, form or report
under the Exchange Act, disclosing the same or (ii) we otherwise become
aware of any such person or group;

(2)  the Company
consolidates with, or merges with or into, another Person or the Company sells,
assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets, or any Person consolidates with, or
merges with or into, the Company, in any such event other than pursuant to a
transaction in which the Persons (the “Existing Shareholders”) that “beneficially
owned,” directly or indirectly, shares of the Company’s voting stock
immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly,
shares of voting stock representing a majority of the total voting power of all
outstanding classes of voting stock of the surviving or transferee person in
substantially the same proportion amongst such Existing Shareholders as such
ownership immediately prior to such transaction; or

(3)  the Company’s
Common Stock ceases to be listed on the NYSE, the Nasdaq or another national
securities exchange and is not then quoted on an established automated
over-the-counter trading market in the United States.

Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.1, a merger or
consolidation shall be deemed not to constitute a Fundamental Change if at
least 90% of the consideration (excluding Cash payments for fractional shares
and Cash payments pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights) in the merger or
consolidation constituting the Fundamental Change consists of common stock
traded on the NYSE, the Nasdaq or another national securities exchange (or
which shall be so traded when issued or exchanged in connection with such merger
or consolidation) and as a result of such transaction or transactions the
Securities become convertible solely into such common stock.

For purposes of this Section 5.1:

and “group” shall have the meanings given to them for purposes of Sections
13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provisions, and the term “group”
includes any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of
securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act, or
any successor provision;

owner” shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act, as in effect on the date of this Indenture;

 25
 

·                  “beneficially
own” and “beneficially owned” have meanings correlative to that of
beneficial owner;

·                  “board of
directors” means the board of directors or other governing body charged
with the ultimate management of any person;

·                  “voting stock”
means any class or classes of capital stock or other interests then outstanding
and normally entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to
vote in the election of the board of directors; and

·                  “capital
stock” means:  (i) in the case of a
corporation, corporate stock; (ii) in the case of an association or business
entity, any and all shares, interests, participations, rights or other
equivalents (however designated) of corporate stock; (iii) in the case of a
partnership or limited liability company, partnership interests (whether
general or limited) or membership interests; or (iv) any other interest or
participation that confers on a person the right to receive a share of the
profits and losses of, or distributions of assets of, the issuing person.

(b)  Notice of Fundamental
Change.  Within 30 Business Days
after the effective date of each Fundamental Change, the Company shall notify
the Trustee of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date and shall mail a written
notice of the Fundamental Change (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”)
to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) in
accordance with Section 16.2. 
The notice shall include the form of a Fundamental Change Purchase
Notice to be completed by the Holder and shall state, as applicable:

causing such Fundamental Change and the date of such Fundamental Change;

which the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice must be delivered to the Paying
Agent in order for a Holder to exercise the Fundamental Change purchase right;

(4)  the
Fundamental Change Purchase Date;

(5)  the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price;

(6)  the
procedures that the Holder must follow to exercise its Fundamental Change
purchase right under this Section 5.1;

(7)  the names
and addresses of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

(8)  that the
Securities must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment of the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price;

(9)  that the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price for any Security as to which a Fundamental
Change Purchase Notice has been duly given and not withdrawn shall be paid
promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date and the
time of surrender of such Security;

 26
 

(10)  the
current Conversion Rate, including any increases to the Conversion Rate that
resulted from the Fundamental Change;

(11)  that the
Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been
given may be converted pursuant to Article VII of this Indenture only if either
(i) the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture or (ii) there shall be a default in the
payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;

(12)  the
procedures for withdrawing a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice;

If any of the Securities
are in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify such notice
to the extent necessary to accord with the Applicable Procedures for
repurchases.

At the Company’s request,
the Trustee shall give the Fundamental Change Company Notice on behalf of the
Company and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that the Company makes such request at least three
Business Days (unless a shorter period shall be consented to in writing by
the Trustee) prior to the date by which such Fundamental Change Company Notice
must be given to the Holders in accordance with this Section 5.1(b);
provided further, however,
that the text of such notice shall be prepared by the Company.

(c)  Fundamental Change
Purchase Notice.  A Holder may
exercise its right specified in Section 5.1(a) upon delivery of a
written notice (which shall be in substantially the form included in Exhibit A

Securities and in this Indenture.

The delivery of such

office of such Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder
of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price; provided, however, that such Fundamental Change 

 27
 

Purchase Price shall be
paid pursuant to this Section 5.1 only if the Security so delivered
to the Paying Agent shall conform in all material respects to the description
thereof in the related Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.

promptly notify the Company once each Business Day of the receipt by it of any
Option Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(d)  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in the case of Global Securities, any Option Purchase
Notice may be delivered or withdrawn, and such Securities may be surrendered or
delivered for purchase, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

SECTION 5.3.  Effect of
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or Option Purchase Notice.  (a) 
Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of a Put Notice, the Holder of the
Security in respect of which such Put Notice was given shall (unless such Put
Notice is withdrawn as specified below) thereafter be entitled to receive the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price, in the case of a Fundamental Change Purchase
Notice, or the Option Purchase Price, in the case of an Option Purchase Notice,
with respect to such Security.  Such
Fundamental Change Purchase Price or Option Purchase Price shall be paid to
such Holder promptly following the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Purchase
Date, in the case of a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice (provided such Holder
has satisfied the conditions in Section 5.1(c)), or the Option
Purchase Date, in the case of an Option Purchase Notice (provided such Holder
has satisfied the conditions in Section 5.2(c)), with respect to
such Security and (ii) the time of delivery of such Security to a Paying Agent
by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 5.1(c) or Section 5.2(c),
as applicable.  A Security in respect of
which a Put Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted
pursuant to Article VII hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Put
Notice, unless either (i) such Put Notice has first been validly withdrawn in
accordance with Section 5.3(b); or (ii) there shall be a default in
the payment of the Put Price, provided,
that the conversion right with respect to such Security shall terminate at 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on the date such default is cured and such Security
is purchased in accordance herewith.

 30
 

(b)  A Put Notice may be
withdrawn by any Holder delivering such Put Notice upon delivery of a written
notice of withdrawal (which may be delivered by mail, overnight courier, hand
delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case
of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures) to and actually received by Paying
Agent at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Put Purchase Date, specifying:

(1)  if
Certificated Securities are to be withdrawn, the certificate numbers of the
Securities in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;

(2)  the
principal amount of the Securities in respect of which such notice of
withdrawal is being submitted, which principal amount must be $1,000 or an
integral multiple thereof; and

(3)  the
principal amount, if any, of the Securities that remains subject to the
original Put Notice and that has been or shall be delivered for purchase by the
Company.

SECTION 5.4.  Deposit of
Fundamental Change Purchase Price or Option Purchase Price.  Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on a
Put Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.4) an amount
in Cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Put Purchase Date)
sufficient to pay the aggregate Put Price of all the Securities or portions
thereof that are to be purchased on that Put Purchase Date.

If a Paying Agent holds,
in accordance with the terms hereof, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on a
Put Purchase Date, Cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Put Price of all
Securities for which a Put Notice has been delivered and not validly withdrawn
in accordance with this Indenture, then, on and after such Put Purchase Date,
such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest on such Securities
shall cease to accrue, whether or not such Securities are delivered to the
Paying Agent, and the rights of the Holders in respect thereof shall terminate
(other than the right to receive the Put Purchase Price upon delivery of such
Securities by their Holders to the Paying Agent).

SECTION 5.5.  Securities
Purchased in Part.  Any Certificated
Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office
of a Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder
thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and promptly
after a Put Purchase Date, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon
receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly),
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service
charge, a new Security or Securities, of such authorized denomination or
denominations as may be requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount
equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the
Security so surrendered that is not purchased.

SECTION 5.6.  Repayment to the
Company.  To the extent that the
aggregate amount of Cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 5.3
exceeds the aggregate Put Price of the Securities or portions thereof that the
Company is obligated to purchase on the Put Purchase Date, then, within one day
after the Put Purchase Date, the Paying Agent shall return any such excess Cash
to the Company.

 

 31

 

SECTION 5.7. 
Compliance with Securities Laws upon Purchase of Securities.  When complying with the provisions of Article
V hereof (provided that such offer or purchase constitutes an “issuer tender
offer” for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used herein, includes any
successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer
or purchase), and subject to any exemptions available under applicable law, the
Company shall:

(a)  comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule
14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be
applicable; and

(b)  otherwise comply with all
federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations in
connection with any purchase pursuant to this Article V to be exercised in the time
and in the manner specified herein.

ARTICLE
VII

Conversion

SECTION 7.1. 
Conversion Privilege. 
(a)  Subject to and upon
compliance with the provisions of this Article VII and paragraph 8 of the
Security, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security, in whole or in
part, may be converted into (1) Cash in an amount equal to the Principal
Return of such Security and (2) to the extent the Conversion Value exceeds
the principal amount of such Security, the remainder of the Company’s Remaining
Conversion Obligation in Cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of Cash
and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s option, at a Conversion Rate (the “Conversion
Rate”), initially equivalent to 103.0928 shares of Common Stock per $1,000
principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7.6,
on or prior to the close of business on the Final Maturity Date.

The Securities shall be
convertible (i) at any time after May 15, 2026 and prior to the Final Maturity
Date, and (ii) on or prior to May 15, 2026, only upon the occurrence of one of
the following events:

(i)  During any fiscal quarter,
if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least twenty (20) Trading
Days in the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading
Day of the preceding fiscal quarter exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price per
share of Common Stock on such last Trading Day. 
For each fiscal quarter, the Company shall determine whether the
Securities are convertible as the result of the satisfaction of this condition
in the preceding fiscal quarter and shall promptly notify the Trustee
accordingly.  The Trustee shall, in turn,
notify the Holders in each fiscal quarter but in no event later than seven (7)
Business Days after receiving notification from the Company, as to the
satisfaction of this condition.

(ii)  For any Security called for
redemption, during the period from the date of any Redemption Notice pursuant
to Section 3.3 to the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Redemption Date; provided, that
if a Holder has already delivered a Put Notice with respect to the Securities,
such Holder may not 

 32
 

 

surrender its
Securities for conversion until such notice has been withdrawn in accordance
with this Indenture.

(iii)  During the five Trading
Days after any five consecutive Trading Day period following receipt by the
Trustee of a Conversion Notice (the “Measurement Period”) in which the
average of the Trading Prices for the Securities for such five consecutive
Trading Day period is less than 98% of the average of the Conversion Values for
the Securities during that period.  The
Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall have no obligation to determine the
applicability of this condition, or to obtain secondary bid quotations with
respect to any determination of Trading Price except following the receipt of a
Conversion Notice indicating that the Holder’s Securities are being converted
based upon the satisfaction of this condition, the first Trading Day following
such receipt being the commencement of the applicable Measurement Period.  Following receipt of such a Conversion
Notice, the Conversion Agent shall notify the Company which in turn shall
select the three independent nationally recognized securities dealers as
described in the definition of “Trading Price” from which the Conversion Agent
shall receive bid quotations.  The
Conversion Agent shall provide prompt notice to the Company upon obtaining such
bid quotations.

(iv)  If the Company elects to
distribute to all holders of Common Stock:

(1)  rights or warrants entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price on
the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such
distribution; or

(2)  Cash, debt securities or other evidence of
indebtedness or other assets, which distribution, together with all other such
distributions within the preceding twelve months, has a per share value
exceeding 10% of the Current Market Price of the Common Stock as of the Trading
Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution.

The Company must notify
the Holders at least 20 days prior to the ex-dividend date for such
distribution.  Once the Company has given
such notice, a Holder may surrender its Securities for conversion at any time
until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the
ex-dividend date or the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not
take place.

(v)  During the period beginning
on the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice and until the second
Trading Day preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, a Holder may
surrender Securities for conversion and receive the Fundamental Change Purchase
Price.

(b)  If
a Holder elects to convert its Securities in connection with a Fundamental
Change pursuant to Article V that occurs on or prior to November 20, 2011, then
the Conversion Rate of the Securities being converted by such Holder shall be
increased in the manner set forth below; provided that if
the Stock Price in such transaction is equal to or greater than $30.00 or less
than $7,46 (subject in each case to any increase as described below), no
increase in the Conversion Rate shall be made, subject to adjustment in the
same manner as the Conversion Price as set forth in Section 7.6.  For the avoidance of doubt, the increases
provided for in this Section 7.1(b) shall only be made with respect to
the Securities being converted in connection with such Fundamental Change and
shall not be effective as to any Securities not so converted.

 33
 

 

The increase in the
Conversion Rate, expressed as a number of additional shares of the Common Stock
to be received per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, will be determined by
the Company by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on
the date the Fundamental Change becomes effective (the “Effective Date”)
and the price paid per share of Common Stock in the corporate transaction that
gives rise to the Fundamental Change (the “Stock Price”); provided that if a Holder of the Common Stock receives only
Cash in such corporate transaction, the Stock Price shall be the Cash amount
paid per share.  In all other cases, the
Stock Price will be the average of the stock price per share of the Common
Stock on the five consecutive Trading Days beginning on the second Trading Day
after the date on which the Company mailed the Fundamental Change Company
Notice pursuant to Section 5.1(b), provided
further that if the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in
the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table,
the Company shall determine the increased Conversion Rate by a straight-line
interpolation between the Conversion Rates set forth for the higher and lower
Stock Price amounts and the two dates, based on a 365 day year, as applicable.

SECTION 7.2.  Conversion Procedure.  (a) 
The right of conversion attaching to any Security may be exercised at
any time during which conversion is permitted in accordance with Section 7.1(i)
if such Security is represented by a Global Security, by book-entry transfer to
the Conversion Agent through the facilities of the Depositary in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures, or (ii) if such Security is represented by a
Certificated Security, by delivery of such Security at the specified office of
the Conversion Agent, accompanied, in either case, by: (1) a duly signed and
completed conversion notice, in the form as set forth on the reverse of
Security attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Conversion Notice”); (2) if
such Certificated Security has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, a
notice to the Conversion Agent in accordance with Section 2.7
regarding the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Security; (3)
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion
Agent; and (4) payment of any tax or duty, in accordance with Section 7.4,
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue or delivery
of the Common Stock in the name of a Person other than the Holder of the
Security.  The date on which the Holder
satisfies all of those requirements is the “Conversion Date.” The
Company shall deliver to the Holder through a Conversion Agent Cash and, if
applicable, a certificate for the number of whole shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion (and Cash in lieu of any fractional shares
pursuant to Section 7.3) on the applicable date specified for such
delivery in the third paragraph of Section 7.13(a) hereof.

(b)  The person in whose name the Security is
registered shall be deemed to be a stockholder of record on the Conversion
Date; provided, however,
that no surrender of a Security or satisfaction of the other conditions in Section 7.2(b)
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, provided that all
such conditions have been satisfied, 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; provided further, however, that
such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date on which
all such conditions have been satisfied and such Security was delivered as if
the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed.  Upon conversion of a Security, such person
shall no longer be a Holder of such Security. 
No separate payment or adjustment will be made for accrued and unpaid
interest on a converted Security or for dividends or distributions on shares of
Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security except as provided in this
Indenture.

 34
 

 

(c) 
Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order,
authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Security equal in principal
amount of the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.

SECTION 7.3. 
Fractional Shares.  The
Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of
Securities and instead shall deliver Cash in an amount equal to the value of
such fraction computed by the Company on the basis of the Applicable Stock
Price on the Trading Day immediately before the Conversion Date.

SECTION 7.4. 
Taxes on Conversion.  If a
Holder converts a Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or
similar issue or transfer taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery
of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion rights.  However, the Holder shall pay any tax or duty
which may be payable relating to any transfer involving the issuance or
delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than the Holder’s name.  The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver
the certificate representing shares of 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 or duties which will be due because the shares are to
be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name.  Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding
required by law or regulation.

SECTION 7.5. 
Company to Provide Stock. 
(a)  The Company shall, prior to
the issuance of any Securities hereunder, and from time to time as may be
necessary, reserve at all times and keep available, free from preemptive
rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of all of the Securities.

(b) 
All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the
Securities shall be newly issued shares or shares held in the treasury of the
Company, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and shall be free of any preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse
claim.

(c) 
The Company shall comply with all applicable securities laws regulating
the offer and delivery of any Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and
shall list or cause to have quoted such shares of Common Stock on the NYSE, the
Nasdaq or any other United States national or regional securities exchange or
such other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted; provided, however, that,
if the rules of such automated quotation system or exchange permit the Company
to defer the listing of such Common Stock until the first conversion of the
Securities into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture, the Company covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Securities in accordance with the requirements of such
automated quotation system or exchange at such time.

(d) 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall
give to any Holder any rights as a creditor in respect solely of its right to
conversion.

SECTION 7.6. 
Adjustment of Conversion Rate. 
The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company
as follows:

(a)  In case the Company shall
(i) issue shares of its Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on its
Common Stock or (ii) subdivide, combine or reclassify its outstanding Common
Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior thereto shall be
adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for
conversion shall be entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock
which it would have been 

 35
 

 

entitled to
(without giving effect to any arrangement pursuant to such dividend,
distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification not to issue
fractional shares of Common Stock) had such Security been converted immediately
prior to the record date of such event or the happening of such event.  An adjustment made pursuant to this
subsection (a) shall become effective immediately upon the issuance in the
case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after
the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
reclassification.

(b)  In case the Company shall
issue rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible
into Common Stock) at a price per share (or a conversion price per share) less
than the Current Market Price per share (as determined in accordance with
subsection (f) of this Section 7.6) of Common Stock on the
record date for such issuance (other than a distribution of rights pursuant to
any then-existing shareholder rights plan), the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for the issuance
shall be increased by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately
prior to the close of business on such record date by a fraction of which (A)
the numerator shall be the sum of (I) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the close
of business on such record date and (II) the aggregate number of shares (the “Underlying
Shares”) of Common Stock underlying all such issued rights or warrants
(whether by exercise, conversion, exchange or otherwise) and (B) the
denominator shall be the sum of (I) number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the close
of business on such record date and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate exercise, conversion, exchange or other price at which the
Underlying Shares may be subscribed for or purchased pursuant to such rights or
warrants would purchase at such Current Market Price per share of Common
Stock.  Such increase shall become
effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Business Day
following such record date.  In no event
shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 7.6(b).  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the
Conversion Rate will be adjusted in accordance with this Section 7.6(b)
to the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their
expiration.

(c)  In case the Company shall
distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of
the Company, evidences of indebtedness or other non-Cash assets, or rights or
warrants (excluding (i) dividends, distributions and rights or warrants
referred to in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 7.6, (ii)
distributions referred to in subsection (e) of this Section 7.6 and
(iii) the distribution of rights pursuant to a shareholder rights plan for
which provision has been made in accordance with the third paragraph of this Section
7.6(c), the Conversion Rate shall be increased by multiplying the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the
record date for the distribution by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall
be the Current Market Price per share (as defined in subsection (f) of
this Section 7.6)) of the Common Stock on such record date and (B) the
denominator shall be an amount equal to (I) such Current Market Price per share
less (II) the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board
of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair
market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered
to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness
or other non-Cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants
applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the record
date); provided, however,
that, in the 

 36
 

 

event the then
fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the capital stock,
evidences of indebtedness or other non-Cash assets so distributed or of such
rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or
greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such
record date, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision
shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon
conversion (in addition to any other consideration payable hereunder upon
conversion) the amount of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other
non-Cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants such Holder would
have received had such Holder converted each Security on such record date.  In no event shall the Conversion Rate be
decreased pursuant to this Section 7.6(c).  Such adjustment (if any) shall be made
successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
immediately after such record date.

In the event that such
dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall
again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if
such dividend or distribution had not been declared.  If the Board of Directors of the Company
determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section
7.6(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any
securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the
same period used in computing the applicable Current Market Price per share of
Common Stock.

The Company shall make
adequate provisions such that, upon any conversion of the Securities into Common
Stock, to the extent that any new shareholder rights plan (i.e., poison pill)
hereafter implemented by the Company is in effect upon such conversion, the
Holders of Securities will receive, in addition to the Common Stock and other
consideration payable hereunder upon conversion, the rights described in any
new rights plan (whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock
at the time of conversion), subject to the limitations set forth in any new
rights plan.  Any distribution of rights or
warrants pursuant to any new rights plan complying with the requirements set
forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not
constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to this Section 7.6(c).

(d)  In case the Company shall
dividend or distribute (other than in connection with a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company) Cash to all holders of Common Stock
(other than a distribution requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate
pursuant to Section 7.6(e)), the Conversion Rate shall be increased
by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of
business on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to such dividend or distribution by a fraction (A) whose numerator
shall be the average of the Volume-Weighted Average Prices per share of Common
Stock (or, if such Volume-Weighted Average Prices are not available, the
Closing Sale Prices) for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on the date
immediately preceding the “ex” date (as defined in Section 7.6(f))
for such dividend or distribution (which average shall be appropriately
adjusted by the Board of Directors, in its good faith determination (which
determination shall be described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), to
account for any adjustment, pursuant hereto, to the Conversion Rate that shall
become effective, or any event requiring, pursuant hereto, an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate where the “ex” date of such event occurs, at any time during
such five consecutive Trading Days); and (B) whose denominator shall be an
amount equal to (I) such average Volume-Weighted Average Price (or, if
applicable, average Closing Sale Price) per share of Common Stock less (II) the
amount per share of Common Stock of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that
the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted pursuant to this 

 37
 

Section 7.6(d)
to the extent, and only to the extent, such adjustment would cause the
Conversion Price to be less than par value of the Common Stock (which minimum
amount shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect stock dividends on, and
subdivisions, combinations or reclassifications of, Common Stock); provided
further that, if the denominator of such fraction shall be equal to or less
than zero, the Conversion Rate shall be instead adjusted so that the Conversion
Price is equal to par value of the Common Stock (as adjusted in accordance with
the immediately preceding proviso).  An
adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 7.6(d)
shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the
Business Day immediately following such record date.  In no event shall the Conversion Rate be
decreased pursuant to this Section 7.6(d).

(e)  In case the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company shall distribute Cash or other consideration in
respect of a tender offer or exchange offer made by the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock where the
sum of the aggregate amount of such Cash distributed and the aggregate fair
market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a resolution of the Board of
Directors), as of the Expiration Date (as defined below), of such other
consideration distributed (such sum, the “Aggregate Amount”) expressed
as an amount per share of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged, and not
withdrawn, pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer as of the Expiration
Time (as defined below) (such tendered or exchanged shares of Common Stock, the
“Purchased Shares”) exceeds the Current Market Price per share (as
determined in accordance with subsection (f) of this Section 7.6)
of Common Stock on the last date (such last date, the “Expiration Date”)
on which tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender
offer or exchange offer (as the same may be amended through the Expiration
Date), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased by multiplying the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the
Expiration Date by a fraction (A) whose numerator is equal to the sum of (I)
the Aggregate Amount and (II) the product of (a) the Current Market Price per
share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (f) of
this Section 7.6) on the Expiration Date and (b) an amount equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the last time (the “Expiration
Time”) at which tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such
tender offer or exchange offer (excluding Purchased Shares and shares held at
such time in the treasury of the Company) and (B) whose denominator is equal to
the product of (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the
Expiration Time (including all Purchased Shares but excluding shares held at
such time in the treasury of the Company) and (II) such Current Market Price
per share of Common Stock on the Expiration Date.  An increase, if any, to the Conversion Rate
pursuant to this Section 7.6(e) shall become effective immediately
prior to the opening of business on the “ex” date.  In the event that the Company or a Subsidiary
of the Company is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any
such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is
permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or
all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Rate shall again be
adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such tender
offer or exchange offer had not been made. 
If the application of this Section 7.6(e) to any tender
offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no
adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 7.6(e).

 38
 

 

(f)  For the purpose of making a
computation pursuant to this Section 7.6, the current market price
(the “Current Market Price”) on a date of determination shall mean the
average of the Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the five
consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of determination; provided, however, that
such Current Market Price shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of
Directors, in its good faith determination (which determination shall be
described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), to account for any
adjustment pursuant hereto (other than the adjustment requiring such
computation) to the Conversion Rate that shall become effective, or any event
(other than the event requiring such computation) requiring, pursuant hereto,
an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the “ex” date of such event occurs,
at any time during such five consecutive Trading Days.  For purposes hereof, the term “ex” date means
(i) when used with respect to any dividend or distribution, the first date on
which the Common Stock trades, regular way, on the relevant exchange or in the
relevant market from which the Closing Sale Price was obtained without the
right to receive such dividend or distribution; and (ii) when used with respect
to any tender offer or exchange offer, the first date on which the Common Stock
trades, regular way, on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from
which the Closing Sale Price was obtained after the Expiration Time.

(g)  In any case in which this Section 7.6
shall require that an adjustment be made following a record date or Expiration
Date, as the case may be, established for purposes of this Section 7.6,
the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the
filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 7.9)
issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such record date or
Expiration Date the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the
Company, evidences of indebtedness or other non-Cash assets or rights or
warrants issuable upon such conversion over and above Cash payable, or the
shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, evidences of
indebtedness or other non-Cash assets or rights or warrants issuable, upon such
conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Rate prior to adjustment; and,
in lieu of the shares, evidences of indebtedness or other non-Cash assets or
rights or warrants the issuance of which, or Cash the payment of which, is so
deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due
bills or other appropriate evidence prepared by the Company of the right to
receive such shares or Cash, as the case may be.  If any distribution in respect of which an
adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required to be made as of the record date
or Expiration Date therefor is not thereafter made or paid by the Company for
any reason, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate
which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or such
effective date or Expiration Date had not occurred.

SECTION 7.7. 
No Adjustment.  No
adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless the adjustment would
result in a change in the Conversion Rate of at least 1%; provided, however,
that any adjustment which by reason of this Section 7.7 is not required
to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in subsequent
adjustments.  All calculations under this
Article VII shall be made to the nearest one-thousandth of a cent or to the
nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be.

Except as otherwise
provided for in this Indenture, the Company shall not be required to adjust the
Conversion Rate for the issuance of its Common Stock or any securities
convertible or exchangeable for its Common Stock or the right to purchase its
Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities.

 39
 

 

No adjustment need be
made for (i) issuances of Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment
of dividends or interest or the investment or additional optional amounts
thereunder in shares of Common Stock or for a change in the par value or a
change to no par value of the Common Stock or (ii) upon the issuance of any
shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock
pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan
or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

To the extent that the
Securities become convertible into the right to receive Cash, interest will not
accrue on such Cash.

No adjustment to the
Conversion Rate need be made pursuant to Section 7.6 for a
transaction if Holders are to participate in the transaction without conversion
on a basis and with notice that the Board of Directors of the Company
determines in good faith to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and
notice on which holders of Common Stock participate in the transaction.

No adjustment to the
Conversion Rate need be made upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock
pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or
convertible security outstanding as of the date the Securities were first
issued.

No adjustment to the
Conversion Rate need be made for accrued and unpaid interest, including
additional interest, if any.

SECTION 7.8. 
Other Adjustments.  Subject
to applicable stock exchange rules and listing standards, the Company shall be
entitled to increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least
20 days if the Company’s Board of Directors determines that such increase would
be in the best interests in the Company, provided the Company has given to
Holders at least 15 days’ prior notice, in accordance with Section 16.2,
of any such increase in the Conversion Rate. 
Subject to applicable stock exchange rules and listing standards, the
Company shall be entitled to increase the Conversion Rate, in addition to the
events requiring an increase in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7.6,
as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order to avoid or
diminish any tax to stockholders in connection with any stock dividends,
subdivisions of shares, distributions of rights to purchase stock or securities
or distributions of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock
hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders.

SECTION 7.9. 
Notice of Adjustment. 
Whenever the Conversion Rate or conversion privilege is adjusted, the
Company shall promptly mail to Securityholders a notice of the adjustment in
accordance with Section 16.2, and file with the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate briefly stating the Conversion Rate, the facts requiring the
adjustment and the manner of computing it. 
Unless and until the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate
setting forth an adjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Trustee may assume
without inquiry that the Conversion Rate has not been adjusted and that the
last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge remains in effect.

SECTION 7.10. 
[Reserved]

SECTION 7.11. 
Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale on
Conversion Privilege.  If (1) there
shall occur (a) any reclassification of the Company’s 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) a statutory
share exchange, consolidation, merger 

 40
 

or combination involving the Company other than a merger in which the
Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification of, or change (other than 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) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (c) a
sale or conveyance as an entirety or substantially as an entirety of the
property and assets of the Company, directly or indirectly, to another Person;
and (2) pursuant to such reclassification, statutory share exchange,
consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, holders of outstanding
shares of Common Stock would be entitled to receive stock (other than Common
Stock), other securities, other property, assets or Cash for such shares of
Common Stock, then the Company, or such successor or surviving, purchasing or
transferee Person, as the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such
reclassification, statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination,
sale or conveyance, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture
providing that, at and after the effective time of such reclassification,
statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or
conveyance, the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right
to convert such Security into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property (including Cash) receivable upon such reclassification,
statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or
conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon
conversion of such Security immediately prior to such reclassification,
statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or
conveyance, assuming that such Holder would not have exercised any rights of
election that such Holder would have had as a holder of Common Stock to select
a particular type of consideration.  Such
supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Rate
which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of
the Conversion Rate provided for in this Article VII.  If, in the case of any such reclassification,
statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or
conveyance, the stock or other securities and property (including Cash)
receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock include shares of stock or
other securities and property of a Person other than the successor or
surviving, purchasing or transferee Person, as the case may be, in such
reclassification, statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination,
sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by
such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the
interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors of the
Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.  The provisions of this Section 7.11
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, statutory share
exchanges, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances.  The foregoing, however, shall not in any way
affect the right a Holder of a Security may otherwise have pursuant to Section 7.6(c)
to receive rights and warrants in accordance therewith.

In the event the Company
shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 7.11,
the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (x) an Officers’ Certificate
briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of shares of stock or
other securities or property (including Cash) receivable by Holders of the
Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such
reclassification, statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination,
sale or conveyance, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all
conditions precedent have been satisfied and (y) an Opinion of Counsel that the
execution of the Supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted under the
terms of this Indenture and that all conditions precedent to the execution
thereof have been satisfied, and shall promptly mail notice thereof to all
Holders.

SECTION 7.12. 
Trustee’s Disclaimer.  The
Trustee shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article
VII should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be,
but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the correctness of any 

 41
 

such adjustment set forth in, and shall be protected in relying upon,
an Officers’ Certificate, including the Officers’ Certificate with respect
thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.9.  The Trustee makes no representation as to the
validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of
Securities, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure
to comply with any provisions of this Article VII.

The Trustee shall not be
under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions
contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 7.11,
but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be
fully protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of
Counsel with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 7.11.

SECTION 7.13. 
Option to Satisfy Portion of Remaining Conversion Obligation with
Cash or Combination of Cash and Common Stock.  (a)  To
satisfy the Company’s obligation in respect of any amount by which the
Conversion Value exceeds the principal amount of such Securities, upon
conversion of the Securities (the “Remaining Conversion Obligation”),
the Company may elect to deliver, Cash or a combination of Cash and shares of
Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.  The Company shall notify the Holders through
the Trustee (at the sole cost and expense of the Company) of the method the
Company chooses to satisfy its Remaining Conversion Obligation as follows: (i)
in the Company’s Notice of Redemption, if the Company has called the Securities
for redemption and (ii) no later than two Trading Days immediately following
the Conversion Date in all other cases (such period, the “Settlement Notice
Period”).  If the Company fails to
give the notice described in the preceding sentence within the prescribed time
periods, then the Company shall satisfy its Remaining Conversion Obligation
only in shares of Common Stock (and Cash in lieu of fractional shares).  If the Company elects to satisfy any portion
of its Remaining Conversion Obligation in Cash, the Company shall specify in
such notice the amount to be satisfied in Cash as a percentage of the Remaining
Conversion Obligation.  The Company shall
treat all Holders converting on the same Trading Day in the same manner.  The Company shall not have any obligation to
satisfy its Remaining Conversion Obligations arising on different Trading Days
in the same manner.

Settlement amounts will
be computed by the Company as follows:

(1)  a Cash amount (the “Principal Return”)
equal to the lesser of (a) the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be
converted or (b) the product of (i) a number equal to (A) the aggregate
principal amount of Securities to be converted divided by 1,000 and multiplied
by (B) the applicable Conversion Rate and (ii) the Applicable Stock Price; and

(2)  (a)  if
the Company elects to satisfy any amount by which the product determined in
clause (1)(b) above exceeds the aggregate principal amount of  Securities surrendered for conversion in
shares of Common Stock, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to (i) (A) the aggregate principal amount of
Securities to be converted divided by 1,000 and multiplied by (B) the
applicable Conversion Rate minus (ii) the Cash amount determined pursuant to
clause (1) above divided by the Applicable Stock Price, plus Cash in lieu of
fractional shares;

(b)  if the Company elects to
satisfy any amount by which the product determined in clause (1)(b) above
exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Securities surrendered for conversion
in Cash, the Company shall deliver to the Holder Cash in an amount equal to the
product of:

 42
 

 

(i)  a number equal to (A) the aggregate principal
amount of Securities to be converted divided by 1,000 and multiplied by (B) (1)
the applicable Conversion Rate minus (2) $1,000 divided by the Applicable Stock
Price; and

(ii)  the Applicable Stock Price;
and

(c)  if the Company elects to
satisfy any amount by which the product determined in clause (1)(b) above
exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Securities surrendered for conversion
in a combination of Cash and shares of Common Stock, the Company shall deliver
to the Holder such combination in the respective amounts calculated in a manner
comparable to that used to settle any conversion (as described above), and with
the amount of Cash specified by the Company as contemplated in connection with
any such conversion.

With respect to each Holder that exercises
its conversion right in accordance with this Indenture, if such Holder’s
Conversion Notice has not been retracted as provided herein, assuming all of
the other requirements for conversion have been satisfied by such Holder, then
settlement in Cash or in a combination of Cash and shares of Common Stock, as
the case may be, shall occur on the second Trading Day following the final
Trading Day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period.

SECTION 7.14. 
Effect of Conversion; Conversion After Record Date.  Except as provided in this Section 7.14,
a converting Holder of Securities shall not be entitled to receive any separate
Cash payments with respect to accrued and unpaid interest on any such
Securities being converted.  By delivery
to the Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock or other consideration
issuable or Cash payable upon conversion in accordance with this Article VII,
the Company will have satisfied its obligations with respect to the Securities
and any accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities will not be paid.  If any Securities are converted after the
close of business on an Interest Payment Record Date but prior to the corresponding
Interest Payment Date, the Holder of such Securities as of the close of
business on such Interest Payment Record Date shall receive, on such Interest
Payment Date, the interest payable on such Security on such Interest Payment
Date notwithstanding the conversion thereof; provided,
however, each Security
surrendered for conversion after the close of business on an Interest Payment
Record Date but prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be
accompanied by payment from the converting Holder thereof, for the account of
the Company, in Cash, an amount equal to the interest payable on such Security
on such Interest Payment Date; provided
further that no such payment need be made (a) if the Company has
specified a Redemption Date that is after the close of business on an Interest
Payment Record Date but prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date or
that results in conversion prior to that Interest Payment Date, (b) any overdue
interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Security, but
only to the extent of the amount of such overdue interest or (c) the Holder
surrenders any Securities for conversion after the close of business on the
Interest Payment Record Date relating to the final Interest Payment Date.

Except as otherwise
provided in this Indenture, no payment or adjustments in respect of payments of
interest on Securities surrendered for conversion or any dividends or
distributions on the Common Stock issued upon conversion shall be made upon the
conversion of any Securities.

SECTION 7.15. 
Exchange in Lieu of Conversion. 
(a)  In lieu of it obligations
pursuant to Section 7.2, the Company may, at its option, direct the
Conversion Agent to surrender, on or prior to the date of determination of the
Applicable Stock Price, Securities tendered for conversion to a financial
institution (the “Financial Institution”) designated by the Company for
exchange in lieu 

 43
 

of conversion.  On the date of
this Indenture, the Company has designated each of Credit Suisse Securities
(USA) LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities LLC as a Financial Institution.  If the Financial Institution accepts any such
Securities surrendered for conversion, it shall deliver to the Conversion
Agent, in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of such Securities, Cash in
an amount equal to the Principal Return, as well as Cash or a combination of
Cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of any remaining amount by which the
Conversion Value of such Securities exceeds the principal amount of such
Securities.  Any Cash amounts will be
based on the Applicable Stock Price.

(b)  If
the Financial Institution accepts any such Securities, it shall deliver such
Cash or combination of Cash and Common Stock, as the case may be, to the
Conversion Agent and the Conversion Agent shall deliver such Cash or
combination of Cash and Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Holder who has
tendered such Securities for conversion. 
If the Financial Institution agrees to accept any Securities for
exchange but does not timely deliver the related consideration, the Company
shall, as promptly as practical thereafter, but not later than the third
Business Day following determination of the Applicable Stock Price, convert
such Securities into Cash or a combination of Cash and shares of Common Stock,
if any, as provided in Section 7.2 above.

ARTICLE
VIII

Subsidiary
Guarantee

SECTION 8.1. 
Subsidiary Guarantors.  If
any Subsidiary of the Company to which the Company has transferred all or
substantially all of its assets after the date hereof shall (i) guarantee any
obligation of the Company evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other
similar instruments, including obligations incurred in connection with the
acquisition of property, assets or businesses by the Company (other than the
Existing Securities) (each such obligation a “Debt Security”) or (ii)
issue Debt Securities, the Company shall (A) cause such Subsidiary concurrently
to become a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing and delivering to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall unconditionally
guarantee (a “Subsidiary Guarantee”) all of the Company’s obligations
under the Securities and this Indenture on a senior unsecured basis, on terms
substantially consistent with guarantees of substantially similar debt
obligations, and, in the case of a Subsidiary referred to above in (i), to the
same extent as such Subsidiary guaranteed such other Debt Securities and (B)
cause an Opinion of Counsel to be delivered to the Trustee to the effect that
such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized and executed by each such
Person and constitutes the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each
such Person (subject to customary exceptions concerning creditors’ rights and
equitable principles).

Such supplemental
indenture shall be executed by manual signature on behalf of each respective
Subsidiary Guarantor by any one of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Chairman of the
Board of Directors, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive
Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer or Vice Presidents, attested by
its Secretary or Assistant Secretary.

Such supplemental
indenture bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall bind such Subsidiary Guarantor,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture or
did not hold such offices at the date of such supplemental indenture.

 44

SECTION 8.2. 
Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.  Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any
of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of any Subsidiary
Guarantor with or into the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or shall
prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of any Subsidiary Guarantor as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor.

SECTION 8.3. 
 Release of Subsidiary
Guarantors.  If any Subsidiary
Guarantor sells or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets
(by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise) to the Company or a Subsidiary
of the Company and (a) in the case of a Subsidiary referred to in Section 8.1(i)
hereof, such Subsidiary is no longer a guarantor of any Debt Securities of the
Company, or (b) in the case of a Subsidiary referred to in Section 8.1(ii)
hereof, such Subsidiary is no longer an issuer of any Debt Securities, and (i)
if the acquiring Person is a Subsidiary of the Company, such subsidiary shall
provide a Subsidiary Guarantee on the terms set forth in Section 8.1
hereof and (ii) in any such case, if the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
an Officers’ Certificate certifying to that effect as of the date of such
Officers’ Certificate, then automatically, without the requirement of any
further action by the Company, such Subsidiary or the Trustee, such Subsidiary
shall cease to be a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.  The Trustee shall, at the Company’s expense,
execute and deliver such instruments as the Company may reasonably request to
evidence such termination.

SECTION 8.4. 
Guaranties.  Each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly
and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns
(a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the
Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or
otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this
Indenture and the Securities and (b) the full and punctual performance
within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under
this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter
collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that
the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part,
without notice or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor and that such
Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article VIII
notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

Each
Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and
protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives
notice of protest for nonpayment.  Each
Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the
Guaranteed Obligations.  The obligations
of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1) the
failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including
any Subsidiary Guarantor) under this Indenture, the Securities or any other
agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof;
(3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms
or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement;
(4) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the
Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Holder or
the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the
Guaranteed Obligations; or (6) any change in the ownership of such Subsidiary
Guarantor.

Each
Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein
constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and
not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort
be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations.

 45
 

Except
as expressly set forth in Sections 15.1 and 8.3, the obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of
waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject
to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or
by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed
Obligations or otherwise.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary
Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by
the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement,
by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay,
willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other
act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or
might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor
or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a
matter of law or equity.

Each
Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or
any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Obligation is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

In
furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any
Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor
by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or
interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform
or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor
hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee,
forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an
amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed
Obligations, (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed
Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (C) all other
monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee.

Each
Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the
Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the
Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article XI for
the purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee herein,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and
(ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed
Obligations as provided in Article XI, such Guaranteed Obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such
Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.

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

SECTION 8.5.    Limitation on Liability.  Any term or provision of this Indenture to
the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed
the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this
Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under
applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or
similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

 46
 

SECTION 8.6. 
Successors and Assigns. 
This Article VIII shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and
its successors and assigns and shall enure to the benefit of the successors and
assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or
assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges
conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities shall
automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all
subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

SECTION 8.7. 
No Waiver.  Neither a
failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in
exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article VIII shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude
any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies and benefits of the
Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not
exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under
this Article VIII at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 8.8. 
Modification.  No
modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article VIII,
nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary
Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or
further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 8.9. 
Contribution.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a
payment under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full
of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each
other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary
Guarantor’s pro
rata
portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the
Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with
GAAP.

ARTICLE
IX

Covenants

SECTION 9.1. 
Payment of Securities.  The
Company shall promptly make all payments in respect of the Securities on the
dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and this Indenture.  The principal amount, Redemption Price and
Put Price and accrued and unpaid interest shall be considered paid on the date
it is due if the Paying Agent holds by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such
date, in accordance with this Indenture, Cash designated and sufficient for the
payment of all such amounts then due. 
The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay interest
on overdue principal and overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by
the Securities per annum.  Except as
otherwise specified, all references in this Indenture or the Securities to
interest shall be deemed to include Additional Interest, if any, payable
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

The
Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue amounts from time to time on demand at the
rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in
any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest
(without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at
the same rate to the extent lawful. 
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

 47
 

SECTION 9.2. 
Reports and Certain Information. 
(a)  The Company shall file with
the Trustee, within 15 days after it files them with the SEC, copies of its
annual report and the information, documents and other reports which the
Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act.  The Company shall comply
with the provisions of TIA Section 314(a), whether or not the Company is
required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee shall have no duty to review such
documents for purposes of determining compliance with any provisions of this
Indenture or any applicable law.

(b)  At
any time when the Securities are Restricted Securities, and the Company is not
subject to, or is not in compliance with, Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder or the holder of shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion of Securities, the Company shall promptly furnish
or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder
or such holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Securities,
or to a prospective purchaser of any such security designated by any such
Holder or holder, as the case may be, to the extent required to permit
compliance by such Holder or holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in
connection with the resale of any such security.  “Rule 144A Information” shall mean
such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act or any successor provision.

(c) 
The Company shall notify the Trustee of any changes to its fiscal year.

SECTION 9.3. 
Compliance Certificates. 
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end
of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’
Certificate signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial

Officer of the Company, as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance
with all terms, conditions and covenants under this Indenture (without regard
to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the
Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and
status thereof of which he or she may have knowledge.

SECTION 9.4. 
Maintenance of Corporate Existence.  The Company shall do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence or, following any consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or

The Company covenants, to the extent it may lawfully do so, that it
shall not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of any stay, extension or usury law or other law
which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of
the principal amount, Redemption Price or Put Price in respect of Securities,
or any interest on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now
or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture, and the Company, to the extent it may lawfully
do so, hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and
covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede
the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee or any Agent, but
shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law
had been enacted.

SECTION 9.6. 
Maintenance of Office or Agency of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying
Agent and Conversion Agent.  The
Company shall maintain an office or agency of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying
Agent and Conversion Agent in the United States where Securities may be
presented or 

 48
 

surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or conversion and
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities
and this Indenture may be served.  The
Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office as one such office or
agency for all of the aforesaid purposes. 
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency
(other than a change in the location of the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee).  If at any time the Company
shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set
forth in Section 16.2.

Default
and Remedies

SECTION 11.1. 
Events of Default.  An “Event
of Default” shall occur if:

(1)  the Company defaults in the payment of any
principal of any of the Securities when the same becomes due and payable
(whether at maturity, upon Redemption, on a Put Purchase Date or otherwise);

(2)  the Company defaults in the payment of any
accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any when due and
payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(3)  the Company fails to satisfy its Remaining

(4)  the Company fails to provide the Fundamental
Change Company Notice when required by this Indenture;

(5)  the Company fails to comply with any of its
other agreements contained in the Securities or in this Indenture (other than
those referred to in clauses 1 through 4 above or clause 9 below) and such
failure continues for 60 days after receipt by the Company of a Notice of
Default;

(6)  the Company or any Significant Subsidiary
fails to make any payment of principal in excess of $30,000,000 in respect of
indebtedness for borrowed money, when and as the same shall become due and
payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration, and such indebtedness is not
paid, or such acceleration is not rescinded, by the end of the 30th day after
receipt by the Company or such Significant Subsidiary of a Notice of De-fault;

(7)  the Company, or any Significant Subsidiary
pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

 50
 

(A)  commences a voluntary case
or proceeding;

(B)  consents to the entry of an
order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding or the commencement
of any case against it;

(C)  consents to the appointment
of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or

(D)  makes a general assignment

(8)  a court of competent jurisdiction enters an

(A)  is for relief against the
Company or a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding;

(B)  appoints a Custodian of the
Company or a Significant Subsidiary for any substantial part of the property of
the Company or such Significant Subsidiary; or

(C)  orders the winding up or
liquidation of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary;

and in each case
of this subclause (8) the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for
60 consecutive days.

The
term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11 of the United States Code (or any
successor thereto) or any similar federal or state law for the relief of
debtors.  The term “Custodian”
means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official
under any Bankruptcy Law.

(9)  The Company fails to perform or comply with
Article VIII hereof, or any Subsidiary Guarantee ceases to be in full force and
effect (other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture) or is
declared to be null and void and unenforceable or the Subsidiary Guarantee is
found to be invalid or a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary
denies its liability under its Subsidiary Guarantee (other than by reason of
release of the Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture).

A
default under clause (5) or (6) above is not an Event of Default until the
Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding notify the Company and the
Trustee, in writing of the Default, and the Company does not cure the Default
(and such Default is not waived) within the time period specified in clauses
(5) or (6) above, as applicable, after actual receipt of such notice.  The notice given pursuant to this Section 11.1
must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice
is a “Notice of Default.”  When
any Default under this Section 11.1 is cured in accordance
herewith, it shall cease to be a Default.

The
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless
written notice thereof shall have been given to a Trust Officer at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee by the Company (including, without
limitation, pursuant to Section 9.3), a Paying Agent, any Holder or
any agent of any Holder, which notice references the Securities and this
Indenture.

 51
 

SECTION 11.2. 
Acceleration.  If an Event
of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Company
specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 11.1) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may,
by notice to the Company and the Trustee, declare all unpaid principal of plus
interest (including Additional Interest, if any) accrued and unpaid through the
date of such declaration on all the Securities then outstanding to be due and
payable upon any such declaration, and the same shall thereupon become and be
immediately due and payable.

If an
Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 11.1
occurs, all unpaid principal of plus accrued and unpaid interest (including
Additional Interest, if any) on all the Securities then outstanding shall ipso
facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or
other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding or the Holders originally causing the acceleration by notice to the
Trustee may rescind an acceleration of Securities and its consequences before a
judgment or decree for the payment of money has been obtained by the Trustee if
(a) the rescission would not conflict with any existing order or decree, (b)
all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of
plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities that has become due solely
by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived and (c) all payments
due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 12.6
have been made.  No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 11.3. 
Other Remedies.  If an
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to
collect the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest on the
Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or
this Indenture.

The
Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the
Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any
Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of
Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or
acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No
remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. 
All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 11.4. 
Waiver of Defaults and Events of Default.  Subject to Sections 11.7 and 13.2,
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of
Default and its consequence, except a Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, or any interest (including Additional Interest, if
any) on any Security, or the payment of any applicable Fundamental Change
Purchase Price or Redemption Price, or a failure by the Company to convert any
Securities in accordance with Article VII or any Default or Event of Default in
respect of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities that, under Section
13.2, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of
each outstanding Security.  When a
Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent
right.  This Section 11.4
shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such
Section 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as
permitted by the TIA.

SECTION 11.5. 
Control by Majority.  The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting 

 52
 

any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on it under this Indenture.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee
determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder or the
Trustee, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the
Trustee is offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; provided that the Trustee may take any
other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction; provided further that
this provision shall not affect the rights of the Trustee set forth in Section 12.1(b)(v).  This Section 11.5 shall be in
lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(A)
is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

SECTION 11.6. 
Limitations on Suits. 
Subject to Section 11.7, a Holder of a Security may not
pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

(1)  the Holder gives to the Trustee written
notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2)  the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities make a written request to
the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3)  such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee
security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss,
liability or expense;

(4)  the Trustee does not comply with the request
within 60 days after receipt of the notice, request and the offer of security
or indemnity; and

(5)  no direction inconsistent with such written
request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

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

SECTION 11.7. 
Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of the
principal amount, Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Purchase Price or interest
(including Additional Interest, if any) on any Security, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in the Security and this Indenture, to convert
such Security in accordance with Article VII and to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right
to convert, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 11.8. 
Collection Suit by Trustee. 
If an Event of Default in the payment of principal or interest specified
in clause (1) or (2) of Section 11.1 occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against the Company or another obligor on the Securities for the whole amount
owing with respect to the Securities and the amounts provided for in Section 12.6.

SECTION 11.9. 
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents
as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in
any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities),
its creditors or its 

 53
 

property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any
money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 12.6,
and to the extent that such payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances in any such proceedings shall be denied for any
reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid
out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other
property which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether
in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or
otherwise.  Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or, on
behalf of any Holder, to authorize, accept or adopt any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights
of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 11.10.  Priorities.  Any money or property collected by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article XI, and after an Event of Default, any money
or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under
this Indenture shall be paid out in the following order:

First, to the
Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) for amounts due under Section 12.6;

Second, to
Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for the principal
amount, Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Purchase Price or interest
(including Additional Interest, if any), as the case may be, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable
on the Securities; and

Third, the
balance, if any, to the Company.

The
Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders
pursuant to this Section 11.10. 
At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each
Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date
and the amount to be paid.

SECTION 11.11.  Undertaking for Costs.  In any suit for the enforcement of any right
or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require
the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs
of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant
in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by the party litigant. 
This Section 11.11 does not apply to a suit made by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 11.7, or a suit by
Holders of more than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding.  This Section 11.11
shall be in lieu of Section 315(e) of the TIA and such Section 315(e)
is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

SECTION
11.12.  Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event
of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any
such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article
XI or by law to the Trustee or 

 54
 

to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may
be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

ARTICLE

Trustee

SECTION 12.1. 
Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.  (a)  In
case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities has occurred (that has
not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to the
Securities such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own
affairs.

(b) 
prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with
respect to the Securities that may have occurred:

(1)  the duties and obligations of the Trustee
shall with respect to the Securities be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect
to the Securities except for the performance of such duties and obligations as
are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2)  in the absence of bad faith on the part of
the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or
opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to
determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this
Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical
calculations or other facts stated therein);

(c)  No
provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from

its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i)  This subsection shall
not be construed to limit the effect of Section 12.1(b).

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

 55
 

(iv)  None of the provisions
contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability
is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate
indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.

(d) 
Whether or not expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture
relating to the conduct or affecting the liability or affording protection to
the Trustee (in any capacity, including Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion
Agent) shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 12.2. 
Certain Rights of Trustee. 
Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.1:

genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties.  The Trustee need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document;

thereon;

(d)  The Trustee shall be under
no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this
Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders,
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall
have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or
thereby;

liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed

investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit; and, if the Trustee
shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be
entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally
or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and 

 56
 

shall incur no
liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or
investigation.

and (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have
received written notification which references the Securities and this Indenture
or of which a Trust Officer shall have obtained actual knowledge.  Delivery of reports, information and
documents to the Trustee under Section 9.2 is for informational

information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of
its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officers’ Certificates, except as otherwise provided herein);

by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person
specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not

time agree in writing for all services rendered by it in the execution of the
trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers
and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its
request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or
made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of
its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee’s gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally,
covenant and agree to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents,
directors, stockholders and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against,
any loss, liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred without gross negligence or bad faith or
willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the
reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of
liability in the premises.

(b)  The obligations of the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section to compensate and
indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness
hereunder.  Such additional indebtedness
shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property
and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust
for the benefit of the Holders.

(c)  When the Trustee incurs
expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 11.1(7)
or (8) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

(d)  For the purposes of this Section 12.6,
the “Trustee” shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided,
however, that the gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct of any

 58
 

Trustee or
other indemnified party hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other
Trustee hereunder.

(e)  The provisions of this
Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and resignation or
removal of the Trustee.

SECTION 12.7.  Reliance on
Officers’ Certificate.  Except as
otherwise provided in Section 12.1, whenever in the administration
of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or
desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering
or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad
faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith
thereof.

SECTION 12.8.  Disqualification:
Conflicting Interests.  If the Trustee
has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of
Section 310(b) of the TIA, the Trustee and the Company shall in all
respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the TIA.

SECTION 12.9.  Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility.  There
shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities issued hereunder
which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under
the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or
of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act
as trustee by the SEC, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus, or being a member of a bank
holding company with a combined capital and surplus, of at least 50 million
U.S.  dollars ($50,000,000), and subject
to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial or District of
Columbia authority.  If such corporation
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. 
The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as
Trustee.  In case at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 12.10.

SECTION 12.10.  Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
(a)  The Trustee or any successor
hereafter appointed may at any time resign as Trustee with respect to the
Securities by giving written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting
notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the
Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Register.  Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to the
Securities by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors.  If no successor trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect
to the Securities, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a
Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a
successor trustee, in either case at the sole cost and expense of the
Company.  Such court may thereupon after
such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor
trustee.

 59
 

(b)  In case at any time any one
of the following shall occur:

(i)  the Trustee shall fail to comply with the
provisions of Section 12.8 after written request therefor by the
Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security
or Securities for at least six months; or

(ii)  the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 12.9 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such
Securityholder; or

(iii)  the Trustee shall become incapable of acting,
or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary
bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case,
the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a
successor trustee by or pursuant to a resolution of the Company’s Board of
Directors, or, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided
herein, subject to Section 11.11, any Securityholder who has been a
bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on
behalf of that Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor trustee.  Such court may
thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe,
remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c)  The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may at any time
remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint
a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company.  If no successor trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after such notification
of removal by the Holders, the Trustee to be removed may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect
to the Securities, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a
Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a
successor trustee, in either case at the sole cost and expense of the
Company.  Such court may, as it may deem
proper prescribe or appoint a successor trustee.

(d)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee with respect to the Securities pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 12.11.

(e)  So long as no event which is, or after notice
or lapse of time, or both, would become, an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, and except with respect to a Trustee appointed by
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at that time
outstanding pursuant to Subsection (c) of this Section, if the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) a resolution of the Company’s Board of
Directors appointing a successor Trustee, effective as of a date specified
therein, and (ii) an instrument of acceptance of such appointment, effective as
of such date, by such successor Trustee in accordance with Section 12.11,
the Trustee shall be deemed to have resigned as contemplated in
Subsection (a) of this Section, the successor Trustee shall be deemed to
have been appointed by the Company pursuant to Subsection (a) of this
Section and such appointment shall be deemed to have been accepted as
contemplated in Section 12.11, all as of such date, and all other
provisions of this Section and Section 12.11 shall

 60
 

be applicable to such
resignation, appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with
this Subsection (e).

(f)  At any time there shall be
only one Trustee with respect to the Securities.

SECTION 12.11.  Acceptance of
Appointment By Successor.  (a)  In case of the appointment hereunder of a
successor trustee with respect to the Securities, every such successor trustee
so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the
retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor
trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the
request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall,
upon payment of its charges and all other amounts payable to it hereunder,
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all
the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by
such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject to the lien provided for in Section 12.6(b).

(b)  Upon request of any such
successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(c)  No successor trustee shall
accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article XII.

(d)  Upon acceptance of
appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company
shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder by mail,
first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and
addresses appear upon the Register.  If
the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such
notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 12.12.  Merger,
Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.  Any corporation or other business entity into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation or other business entity resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation or other business entity succeeding to the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided that such corporation or other business entity shall be qualified
under the provisions of Section 12.8 and eligible under the
provisions of Section 12.9, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 
In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered,
by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and
deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such
successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 12.13.  Preferential
Collection of Claims Against the Company. 
The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding
any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the TIA.  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed
shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the TIA to the extent included
therein.

 61
 

SECTION 12.14.  Notice of
Defaults.  If a Default or Event of
Default occurs and is continuing hereunder and if it is actually known to a
Trust Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of
the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after such Default or Event of
Default.  Except in the case of a default
in payment of principal of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any)
on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a
committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the
notice is not opposed to the interest of the Holders of such Securities.

SECTION 12.15.  Reports by
Trustee.  (a)  Within sixty (60) days after May 15 of
each year commencing with the year 2007, the Trustee shall transmit to
Securityholders such reports dated as of May 15 of the year in which such
report is made concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as
may be required pursuant to the TIA, including, without limitation,
Section 313(a) thereof, at the times and in the manner provided pursuant
thereto.  In the event that, on any such

within the 12 months preceding such reporting date, the Trustee shall be under
no duty or obligation to provide such reports. 
The Trustee shall also comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2).  The Trustee shall transmit by mail all
reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).

notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange and of
any delisting thereof.

SECTION 12.16.  Preferential
Collection of Claims.  If and when the

may amend or supplement the Securities, this Indenture or any Subsidiary

Security or extend the time for payment of any such amount.

It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Holders under this Section 13.2 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

supplement or waiver under Section 13.1 or this Section 13.2
becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a

the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Trust Indenture Act.  Every amendment
to or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA
as in effect at the date of such amendment or supplement.

amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder
is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security
or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s
Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security.  However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder

Securityholder.

amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee
may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee.  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation
on the Security about the 

 64
 

changed terms
and return it to the Holder. 
Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company
in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a
new Security that reflects the changed terms.

SECTION 13.6.  Trustee to Sign
Amendments, Etc.  The Trustee shall
sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this
Article XIII if the amendment or supplemental indenture does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  If it does adversely affect the rights,
duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee, the Trustee may, in its sole
discretion, but need not sign it.  In

[FORM OF THE TERMS OF THE NOTES]

KEMET CORPORATION

2.25% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES DUE
2026

This Security is one of a
duly authorized issue of 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Securities”)
of the Company issued under an Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2006
(the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as
trustee (the “Trustee”).  The
terms of the Security include those stated in the Indenture, those made part of
the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”),
and those set forth in this Security. 
This Security is subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to
the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of all such terms.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, if
any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the
Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling.  Capitalized terms used but
not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture unless
otherwise indicated.

1.             Interest.

Interest on the
Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months as set forth on the face of the Security.

If this Security is
redeemed pursuant to paragraph 5 of this Security, or the Holder elects to
require the Company to purchase this Security pursuant to paragraph 6 or 7 of
this Security, on a date that is after an Interest Payment Record Date but on
or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, interest and Additional Interest,
if any, accrued and unpaid hereon to, but not including, the applicable
Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date shall be paid to the same
Holder to whom the Company pays the principal of this Security.  Interest and Additional Interest, if any,
accrued and unpaid hereon at the Final Maturity Date also shall be paid to the
same Holder to whom the Company pays the principal of this Security.

Interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on Securities converted after the close of
business on an Interest Payment Record Date but prior to the corresponding
Interest Payment Date shall be paid, on such Interest Payment Date(4), to the
Holder of the Securities as of the close of business on the Interest Payment
Record Date but, upon conversion, the converting Holder must pay the Company an
amount equal to the interest that shall be payable on such Interest Payment
Date.  No such payment need be made with
respect to Securities converted after an Interest Payment Record Date and prior
to the corresponding Interest Payment Date (1) if the Company has specified a
Redemption Date that is after the close of business on an Interest Payment
Record Date but prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (2) any
overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to the
Securities being converted, but only to the extent of the amount of such
overdue interest, or (3) if the Holder converts after the close of business on
the last Interest Payment Record date prior to the Final Maturity Date.

(4)             With
respect to Additional Securities, Interest will accrue from and including the
most recent date to which interest has been paid if no interest has been paid,
from and including the date such Additional Securities are issued.

 A-5
 

Except as otherwise
stated herein, any reference herein to interest accrued or payable as of any
date shall include Additional Interest, if any, accrued or payable on such date
as provided in the Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement.

2.             Method
of Payment.

Payment of the principal
of, and interest on, the Securities shall be made at the office of the Paying
Agent in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time
of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  The Holder must surrender this Security to a
Paying Agent to collect payment of principal. 
Payment of interest on Certificated Securities shall be made by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address appears in
the Register; provided, however,
that Holders with Securities in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $2.0
million shall be paid, at their written election, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Securities are registered
in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all payments with respect to the
Securities shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of the Depositary or its nominee.

3.             Paying
Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent.

Initially, the Trustee
shall act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent.  The Company or any Affiliate of the Company
may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent, subject to the terms of
the Indenture.

4.             Indenture.

The
Securities are general unsubordinated unsecured obligations of the Company
initially limited to $160,000,000 aggregate principal amount (or $175,000,000
aggregate principal amount, if the Initial Purchasers exercise in full their
option to purchase additional Securities).  
The Company may, without consent of the Securityholders, issue
additional Securities under the Indenture with the same terms as the notes
offered hereby in an unlimited aggregate principal amount.  The Indenture does not limit other debt of
the Company, secured or unsecured.

5.             Redemption
at the Option of the Company.

Upon any redemption
pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Indenture, the Company shall provide
the notice required by Section 3.3 of the Indenture (which notice
may be revoked at any time prior to the time at which the Company or the
Trustee, as the case may be, has given such notice to Securityholders) and
shall pay a Redemption Price in Cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the Securities being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including
Additional Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption,
payable in Cash.

At any time on and after
November 20, 2011, the Securities may be redeemed at any time or from time
to time at the option of the Company in whole or in part at the Redemption
Price.

A notice of redemption
pursuant to this Section of this Security shall be mailed at least 20 days
but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed at the Holder’s address as such address appears in the
Register.  If Cash sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of all Securities for which notice of redemption is given is
deposited with the Paying Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Redemption Date, then, on and after such Redemption Date, such Securities shall
cease to be outstanding and interest on such 

 A-6
 

Securities shall
cease to accrue, whether or not such Securities are delivered by their Holders
to the Paying Agent, and the Holders thereof shall have no rights as such other
than the right to receive the Redemption Price upon delivery of such Securities
to the Paying Agent.  Securities in
denominations larger than $1,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but
only in multiples of $1,000 principal amount.

6.             Purchase
by the Company Upon a Fundamental Change.

Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase for
Cash, at the option of any Holder, all or any portion of the Securities held by
such Holder upon a Fundamental Change in multiples of $1,000 at the Fundamental
Change Purchase Price.  To exercise such
right, a Holder shall deliver to the Paying Agent a Fundamental Change Purchase
Notice containing the information set forth in the Indenture, at any time prior
to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, and shall deliver the Securities to the
Paying Agent as set forth in the Indenture.

Holders have the right to
withdraw any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice by delivering to the Paying
Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture.

If Cash sufficient to pay
the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all Securities or portions thereof to
be purchased with respect to a Fundamental Change Purchase Date is deposited
with the Paying Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental
Change Purchase Date then, on and after such Fundamental Change Purchase Date
such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest on such Securities
shall cease to accrue, whether or not such Securities are delivered by their
Holders to the Paying Agent, and the Holders thereof shall have no rights as
such other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon
delivery of such Securities to the Paying Agent.

7.             Purchase
by the Company at the Option of the Holder on Specified Dates.

Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase for
Cash, at the option of any Holder, all or any portion of the Securities held by
such Holder upon each Purchase Date in multiples of $1,000 at the Put Option
Purchase Price.  To exercise such right,
a Holder shall deliver to the Paying Agent a Put Option Notice containing the
information set forth in the Indenture, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Put Option
Purchase Date, and shall deliver the Securities to the Paying Agent as set
forth in the Indenture.

Holders have the right to
withdraw any Put Option Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written
notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

If Cash sufficient to pay
the Put Option Price of all Securities or portions thereof to be purchased with
respect to a Put Option Purchase Date is deposited with the Paying Agent by
10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Put Option Purchase Date then, on and
after such Put Option Purchase Date such Securities shall cease to be
outstanding and interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue, whether or
not such Securities are delivered by their Holders to the Paying Agent, and the
Holders thereof shall have no rights as such other than the right to receive
the Put Option Purchase Price upon delivery of such Securities to the Paying
Agent.

 A-7
 

8.             Conversion.

Subject to the terms of
the Indenture, after May 15, 2026 and prior to the Final Maturity Date, Holders
may surrender Securities, in whole or in part, for conversion at the Conversion
Price then in effect.  In addition, on or
prior to May 15, 2006, Holders may surrender Securities, in whole or in part,
for conversion at the Conversion Price then in effect if any of the following
conditions is satisfied:

·                  During any
fiscal quarter, if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least
twenty (20) Trading Days in the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on
the last Trading Day of the preceding fiscal quarter exceeds 130% of the
Conversion Price per share of Common Stock on such last Trading Day;

·                  If
the Company has called the Securities for redemption;

·                  During
the five Trading Days after any five consecutive Trading Day period in which
the average of the Trading Prices for the Securities for such five consecutive
Trading Day period is less than 98% of the average of the Conversion Values for
the Securities during that period;

·                  If
the Company proposes to make certain significant distributions to the Holders
of the Company’s Common Stock; or

·                  In
connection with a Fundamental Change.

Upon satisfaction of any
of the preceding conditions and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Indenture, a Holder of a Security may convert the Security (or any portion
thereof equal to $1,000 principal amount or any integral multiple of $1,000
principal amount in excess thereof) into Cash in an amount equal to the
Principal Return, as well as Cash or, if the Company shall so elect, a
combination of Cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of any remaining
amount by which the Conversion Value of such Securities exceeds the principal
amount of such Securities pursuant to Section 7.13 of the
Indenture, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business
Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date, at the Conversion Rate then
in effect; provided, however,
that, if such Security is called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 5, such
conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Redemption Date, unless there shall be a default in
the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case the conversion right with
respect to such Security shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the date such default is cured and such Security is redeemed in accordance
herewith; provided further, that, if a Put Notice
with respect to a Security is delivered in accordance with the Indenture, such
Security shall not be convertible unless such Put Notice is duly withdrawn in
accordance with the Indenture or unless there shall be a default in the payment
of the Put Price, in which case the conversion right with respect to such
Security shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such
default is cured and such Security is purchased in accordance with the
Indenture.

The initial Conversion
Rate is 103.0928 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of
Securities, which represents an initial Conversion Price of approximately $9.70
per share of Common Stock.  The
Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances as
provided in the Indenture, including, with respect to Securities surrendered
for conversion, upon a Fundamental Change that occurs prior to November 20,
2011.  No fractional shares will be
issued upon conversion.

 A-8

Holder must (i) if the Security is represented by a Global Security, comply
with the Applicable Procedures, or (ii) if the Security is represented by a

completed Conversion Notice set forth below, (b) deliver the Security to the
Conversion Agent, (c) deliver to the Conversion Agent appropriate endorsements

registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000.  A Holder may
register the transfer of or exchange Securities in accordance with the
Indenture.  The Registrar may require a
Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents and to pay certain taxes, assessments or other governmental charges
that may be imposed in relation thereto by law or permitted by the Indenture.

10.           Persons
Deemed Owners.

Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned
property law designates another person.

12.           Amendment,
Supplement and Waiver.

Subject to certain
exceptions, the Securities or the Indenture may be amended or supplemented with
the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities then outstanding, and, subject to certain exceptions, an
existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities and its
consequences or compliance with any provision of the Securities or the
Indenture may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.  Subject to the terms of the Indenture,
without the consent of or notice to any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may
amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities to, among other things,
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any change that does not
adversely affect in any material respect the legal rights under the Indenture
of any Holder.

13.           Defaults
and Remedies.

If any Event of Default
other than as a result of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of the Company occurs and is continuing, the principal of all
the Securities then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest may be
declared due and payable in the manner and 

 A-9
 

with the effect
provided in the Indenture.  If an Event
of Default occurs as a result of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of the Company, the principal amount of the Securities plus
accrued and unpaid interest shall become due and payable immediately without
any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, all to
the extent provided in the Indenture.

14.           Trustee
Dealings with the Company.

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

15.           No
Recourse Against Others.

No recourse under or upon
any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in the
Indenture, or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby or hereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such, or against
any past, present or future employee, stockholder, officer or director, as
such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the
Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional
provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable
proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released
by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders and as part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

16.           Authentication.

This Security shall not
be valid until the Trustee or an authenticating agent manually signs the
