Exhibit 10.6

[FORM OF AMENDMENT TO RESTRICTED STOCK

AND STOCK OPTION AGREEMENTS]

September ___, 2006

[Name & Address of Participant]

Re:     Amendment of Outstanding Restricted Stock and Stock Option Agreements

Dear [Participant Name]:

The Company has previously granted to you shares of restricted stock and/or stock options. For
each grant, you and the Company entered into a Restricted Stock Agreement, Bonus Award Restricted
Stock Agreement or Stock Option Agreement (each a “Stock Agreement”). Section 3(c) of each Stock
Agreement provides that in the event of a Corporate Event (as defined in the Stock Agreement), your
shares of restricted stock or stock options would not vest until the earlier of 360 days
after the Corporate Event or the termination of your employment without cause.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors recently approved an amendment to all
outstanding Stock Agreements to eliminate the 360-day waiting period. The amendment provides that
if there is a Corporate Event, your restricted shares or stock options, as applicable, shall become
vested in full on the date of the Corporate Event. The Compensation Committee believes that this
amendment is consistent with current compensation practices.

This amendment is applicable to all of your outstanding Stock Agreements effective as of July 27,
2006. Please signify your acceptance of this amendment by signing the enclosed copy of this letter
in the space indicated and returning it to me in the envelope provided.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Rusty Bozman at (904)
301-4388.

Very truly yours,

M. Jay Romans

Senior Vice President — Human Resources

Accepted and Agreed:

          entire investment in the Transaction.

     (v)  Counterparty understands, agrees and acknowledges that Deutsche has no

          own independent decisions to enter into the Transaction and as to

          into the Transaction) and (C) no communication (written or oral)
          received from Deutsche or any of its affiliates shall be deemed to be

          (i) creating actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any
          security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or (ii)
          raising or depressing or otherwise manipulating the price of the
          Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the
          Shares), in either case in violation of Section 9 of the Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT").

     (xi) Counterparty's filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and
          other applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have
          been filed and, as of the respective dates thereof and as of the date
          of this representation, there is no misstatement of material fact
          contained therein or omission of a material fact required to be stated
          therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light
          of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          violate, any applicable law (including, without limitation, the
          Securities Act and the Exchange Act) in connection with the
          Transaction.

     STAGGERED SETTLEMENT. If, upon advice of counsel, Deutsche reasonably
     determines, with respect to applicable legal and regulatory requirements,
     including any requirements relating to Deutsche's hedging activities
     hereunder, or due to a lack of sufficient liquidity in the borrow market
     for the Shares, that it would not be practical or advisable to deliver, or
     to acquire to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by Deutsche
     on the Settlement Date, Deutsche may, by notice to Counterparty prior to
     any Settlement Date (a "NOMINAL SETTLEMENT DATE"), elect to deliver the
     Shares deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date on two or more dates
     (each, a "STAGGERED SETTLEMENT DATE") or at two or more times on the
     Nominal Settlement Date as follows: (i) in such notice, Deutsche will
     specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of
     which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date, but not prior to
     the beginning of the related "Conversion Period") or delivery times and how
     it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under "Net Share
     Settlement" (above) among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times;
     and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that Deutsche will deliver to
     Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery
     times will equal the number of Shares that Deutsche would otherwise be
     required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.

     ADDITIONAL TERMINATION EVENTS. The occurrence of (i) an "Event of Default"
     with respect to Counterparty under the terms of the Convertible Notes as
     set forth in Section 9.01 of the Indenture which results in principal and
     interest related to the Convertible Notes being declared immediately due
     and payable pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, (ii) an Amendment Event
     or (iii) a Repayment Event shall be an Additional Termination Event with
     respect to which the Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction and
     Counterparty is the sole Affected Party and Deutsche shall be the party
     entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(a) of
     the Agreement; provided that in the case of a Repayment Event the
     Transaction shall be subject to termination only in respect of the number
     of Convertible Notes that cease to be outstanding in connection with or as
     a result of such Repayment Event.

          "AMENDMENT EVENT" means that Counterparty amends, modifies,
          supplements or obtains a waiver with respect to (i) any term of the
          Indenture or the Convertible Notes governing the principal amount,
          maturity, repurchase obligation of Counterparty, redemption right of
          Counterparty, any term relating to conversion of the Convertible Notes
          (including changes to the conversion price, conversion settlement
          dates or conversion conditions), or (ii) any term of the Indenture if
          such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver would, in the
          reasonable judgment of Deutsche, have a material adverse effect on the
          economic value to Deutsche of or obligations of Deutsche under this
          Transaction, in each case without the prior consent of Deutsche, such
          consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

          "REPAYMENT EVENT" means that (A) any Convertible Notes are repurchased
          (whether in connection with or as a result of a change of control,
          howsoever defined, or for any other reason) by Counterparty or any of
          its subsidiaries, (B) any Convertible Notes are delivered to
          Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries in exchange for delivery of
          any property or assets of Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries
          (howsoever described), (C) any principal of any of the Convertible
          Notes is repaid prior to the final maturity date of the Convertible
          Notes (whether following acceleration of the Convertible Notes or
          otherwise), or (D) any Convertible Notes are exchanged by or for the
          benefit of the holders thereof for any other securities of
          Counterparty or any of its affiliates (or any other property, or any
          combination thereof) pursuant to any exchange offer or similar
          transaction; provided that, in the case of clause (B) and clause (D),
          conversions of the Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms of the
          Indenture as in effect on the date hereof shall not be Repayment
          Events.

     DISPOSITION OF HEDGE SHARES. Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the
     good faith reasonable judgment of Deutsche based on the advice of outside
     counsel, the Shares (the "HEDGE SHARES") acquired by Deutsche for the
     purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be
     sold in the public market by Deutsche without registration under the
     Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election choose from the
     following three choices: (i) in order to allow Deutsche to sell the Hedge
     Shares in a registered offering, make available to Deutsche an effective
     registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such
     Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance
     satisfactory to Deutsche, substantially in the form of an underwriting
     agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide accountant's "comfort"
     letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities,
     (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to
     Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Deutsche, (D) provide other customary
     opinions, certificates

                                        9

<PAGE>

     and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity
     securities and (E) afford Deutsche a reasonable opportunity to conduct a
     "due diligence" investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in
     scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however,
     that if Deutsche, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with
     access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence
     investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered
     offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this
     paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to
     allow Deutsche to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into
     a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement
     purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities,
     in form and substance satisfactory to Deutsche, including customary
     representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or
     registrations, indemnities to Deutsche, due diligence rights (for Deutsche
     or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Deutsche), opinions and
     certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private
     placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Deutsche (in which
     case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the
     Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate
     Deutsche for any discount from the public market price of the Shares
     incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement); or (iii)
     purchase the Hedge Shares from Deutsche at the VWAP Price on such Exchange
     Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Deutsche. "VWAP PRICE"
     means, on any Exchange Business Day, the per Share volume-weighted average
     price as displayed under the heading "Bloomberg VWAP" on Bloomberg page
     PLMD (equity) AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from
     9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Exchange Business Day
     (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value
     of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the
     Calculation Agent using a volume-weighted method). This paragraph shall
     survive the termination, expiration or early unwind of the Transaction.

     STATUS OF CLAIMS IN BANKRUPTCY. Deutsche acknowledges and agrees that this
     Confirmation is not intended to convey to Deutsche rights with respect to
     the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any
     U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein
     shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Deutsche's right to pursue remedies
     in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements
     with respect to the Transaction; provided, further, that nothing herein
     shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Deutsche's rights in respect of any
     transactions other than the Transaction.

     NO COLLATERAL. Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation, the
     Agreement, Equity Definitions, or any other agreement between the parties
     to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty under the Transaction are
     not secured by any collateral.

     SECURITIES CONTRACT; SWAP AGREEMENT. The parties hereto agree and
     acknowledge that Deutsche is a "financial institution," "swap participant"
     and "financial participant" within the meaning of Sections 101(22),
     101(53C) and 101(22A) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the
     "BANKRUPTCY CODE"). The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A)
     that this Confirmation is (i) a "securities contract," as such term is
     defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which
     each payment and delivery hereunder is a "settlement payment," as such term
     is defined in Section 741(8) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a "swap
     agreement," as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy
     Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder is a
     "transfer," as such term is defined in Section 101(54) of the Bankruptcy
     Code, and (B) that Deutsche is entitled to the protections afforded by,
     among other sections, Section 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555
     and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code.

     REPURCHASE NOTICES. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty
     effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Deutsche a written notice
     of such repurchase (a "REPURCHASE NOTICE") on such day if following such
     repurchase, the Unit Equity Percentage as determined on such day is (a)
     equal to or greater than 4.5% and (b) greater by 0.5% than the Unit Equity
     Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in
     the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Unit Equity
     Percentage as of the date hereof). The "UNIT EQUITY PERCENTAGE" as of any
     day is the fraction (i) the numerator of which is the product of the number
     of Note Hedging Units and the Note Hedging Unit Entitlement, and (ii) the
     denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
     Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Deutsche and its
     affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors,
     agents and controlling persons (each, a "SECTION 16 INDEMNIFIED PERSON")
     from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to
     Deutsche's

                                       10

<PAGE>

     hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of
     becoming, a Section 16 "insider", including without limitation, any
     forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and
     any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction),
     claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable
     attorney's fees), joint or several, to which a Section 16 Indemnified
     Person may become subject, as a result of Counterparty's failure to provide
     Deutsche with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in
     this paragraph, and to reimburse, upon written request, each of such
     Section 16 Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses
     incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing
     testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the
     foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or
     regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted
     against the Section 16 Indemnified Person, such Section 16 Indemnified
     Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty,
     upon request of the Section 16 Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel
     reasonably satisfactory to the Section 16 Indemnified Person to represent
     the Section 16 Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate
     in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel
     related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall be relieved from liability
     to the extent that the Section 16 Indemnified Person fails to promptly
     notify Counterparty of any action commenced against it in respect of which
     indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided, that failure to notify
     Counterparty (x) shall not relieve Counterparty from any liability
     hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof
     and (y) shall not, in any event, relieve Counterparty from any liability
     that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement.
     Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
     effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or
     if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to
     indemnify any Section 16 Indemnified Person from and against any loss or
     liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not,
     without the prior written consent of the Section 16 Indemnified Person,
     effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of
     which any Section 16 Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and
     indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Section 16 Indemnified
     Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
     Section 16 Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the
     subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such
     Section 16 Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this
     paragraph is unavailable to a Section 16 Indemnified Person or insufficient
     in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
     therein, then Counterparty, in lieu of indemnifying such Section 16
     Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or
     payable by such Section 16 Indemnified Person as a result of such losses,
     claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph
     are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may
     otherwise be available to any Section 16 Indemnified Person at law or in
     equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
     paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of
     the termination of the Transaction.

     ALTERNATIVE CALCULATIONS AND DEUTSCHE PAYMENT ON EARLY TERMINATION AND ON
     CERTAIN EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS. If Deutsche owes Counterparty any amount in
     connection with the Transaction pursuant to Sections 12.2, 12.3 (and
     "Consequences of Merger Events and Tender Offers" above), 12.6, 12.7 or
     12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the case of an Extraordinary
     Event in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of
     Shares as a result of such event consists solely of cash) or pursuant to
     Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of (x) an Event of
     Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or (y) a Termination
     Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of
     Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of
     the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section
     5(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the Agreement that in the case
     of either (x) or (y) resulted from an event or events outside
     Counterparty's control) (a "DEUTSCHE PAYMENT OBLIGATION"), Counterparty
     shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Deutsche to
     satisfy any such Deutsche Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination
     Delivery Units (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice
     to Deutsche, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between
     the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Termination
     Date or other date the transaction is terminated, as applicable ("NOTICE OF
     DEUTSCHE TERMINATION DELIVERY"). Within a commercially reasonable period of
     time following receipt of a Notice of Deutsche Termination Delivery,
     Deutsche shall deliver to Counterparty a number of Termination Delivery
     Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Deutsche Payment
     Obligation (such number of Termination Delivery Units to be delivered to be
     determined by the Calculation Agent as the number of whole Termination
     Delivery Units that could be purchased over a commercially reasonable
     period of time with the cash equivalent of such payment obligation). If the
     provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of
     Sections 9.8,

                                       11

<PAGE>

     9.9, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable,
     except that all references to "Shares" shall be read as references to
     "Termination Delivery Units."

          "TERMINATION DELIVERY UNIT" means (a) in the case of a Termination
          Event, an Event of Default or an Extraordinary Event (other than an
          Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer), one Share
          or (b) in the case of an Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or
          Tender Offer, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type
          of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration
          of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of
          fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency,
          Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer. If a Termination
          Delivery Unit consists of property other than cash or New Shares and
          Counterparty provides irrevocable written notice to the Calculation
          Agent on or prior to the Closing Date that it elects to receive cash,
          New Shares or a combination thereof (in such proportion as
          Counterparty designates) in lieu of such other property, the
          Calculation Agent shall replace such property with cash, New Shares or
          a combination thereof as components of a Termination Delivery Unit in
          such amounts, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion
          by commercially reasonable means, as shall have a value equal to the
          value of the property so replaced. If such Insolvency,
          Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer involves a choice of
          consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed
          to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.

     RULE 10B-18. Except as disclosed to Deutsche in writing prior to the date
     on which the offering of the Convertible Notes was first announced,
     Counterparty represents and warrants to Deutsche that it has not made any
     purchases of blocks by or for itself or any of its Affiliated Purchasers
     pursuant to the one block purchase per week exception in Rule 10b-18(b)(4)
     under the Exchange Act during each of the four calendar weeks preceding
     such date ("RULE 10B-18 PURCHASE," "BLOCKS" and "AFFILIATED PURCHASER" each
     as defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act). Counterparty agrees and
     acknowledges that it shall not, and shall cause its affiliates and
     Affiliated Purchasers not to, directly or indirectly (including by means of
     a derivative instrument) enter into any transaction to purchase any Shares
     during the period beginning on such date and ending on the day on which
     Deutsche has informed Counterparty in writing that it has completed all
     purchases of Shares to hedge initially its exposure to the Transaction,
     including any increase in the Number of Note Hedge Units that may be agreed
     pursuant to "AMENDMENT" above.

     REGULATION M. Counterparty was not on the date on which the offering of the
     Convertible Notes was first announced, has not since such date, and is not
     on the date hereof, engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in
     Regulation M under the Exchange Act, of any securities of Counterparty,
     other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set
     forth in Sections 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M under the
     Exchange Act. Counterparty shall not, until the day on which Deutsche has
     informed Counterparty in writing that it has completed all purchases of
     Shares to hedge initially its exposure to the Transaction, including any
     increase in the Number of Note Hedge Units that may be agreed pursuant to
     "AMENDMENT" above, engage in any such distribution.

     NO MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION. On each day during the period beginning
     on the date on which the offering of the Convertible Notes was first
     announced and ending on the day on which Deutsche has informed Counterparty
     in writing that it has completed all purchases of Shares by Deutsche to
     hedge initially its exposure with respect to the Transaction, including any
     increase in the Number of Note Hedge Units that may be agreed pursuant to
     "AMENDMENT" above, Counterparty represents and warrants to Deutsche that it
     is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning itself or the
     Shares.

     RIGHT TO EXTEND. Deutsche may postpone any Potential Exercise Date or
     postpone or extend any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to
     some or all of the relevant Note Hedging Units for up to ten Exchange
     Business Days (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate
     adjustments to the Settlement Amount for such Note Hedging Units) if
     Deutsche determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such extension is
     reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable Deutsche to effect purchases
     of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement
     activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Deutsche were Issuer or an
     affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal,
     regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and
     procedures applicable to Deutsche.

                                       12

<PAGE>

     TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT. Counterparty may not transfer any of its rights or
     obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of
     Deutsche. Deutsche may not transfer or assign all or a portion of its Note
     Hedging Units hereunder or any of its rights or obligations under the
     Transaction at any time without the prior written consent of Counterparty.

     If, as determined in Deutsche's sole discretion, (x) its "beneficial
     ownership" (within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules
     promulgated thereunder) exceeds 8.5% of Counterparty's outstanding Shares
     and (y) Deutsche is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to
     effect a transfer or assignment to an Eligible Assignee on pricing terms
     and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of
     the Transaction to reduce such "beneficial ownership" below 8.5%, Deutsche
     may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with
     respect to a portion (the "TERMINATED PORTION") of this Transaction, such
     that its "beneficial ownership" following such partial termination will be
     approximately equal to but less than 8.5%. In the event that Deutsche so
     designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this
     Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement
     as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a
     Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Note
     Hedging Units equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) the Counterparty shall
     be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and
     (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for
     the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under the caption
     "ALTERNATIVE CALCULATIONS AND DEUTSCHE PAYMENT ON EARLY TERMINATION AND ON
     CERTAIN EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS" shall apply to any amount that is payable by
     Deutsche to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence).

     The term "ELIGIBLE ASSIGNEE" shall mean any third party with a rating for
     its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of A+ or better by
     Standard & Poor's Ratings Services or its successor ("S&P"), or A1 or
     better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("MOODY'S") or, if either S&P or
     Moody's ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better
     by a substitute agency rating mutually agreed by Counterparty and Deutsche.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary
     requiring or allowing Deutsche to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any
     shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Deutsche may designate
     any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or
     other securities and otherwise to perform Deutsche's obligations in respect
     of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations.
     Deutsche shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the
     extent of any such performance.

     SEVERABILITY; ILLEGALITY. If compliance by either party with any provision
     of the Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (a) the parties shall
     negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a
     manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions
     contemplated hereby and (b) the other provisions of the Transaction shall
     not be invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.

     WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
     APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
     SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY (I)
     CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS
     REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN
     THE EVENT OF SUCH A SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
     FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE
     BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER
     THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN.

     EARLY UNWIND. In the event the sale of Convertible Notes is not consummated
     with the initial purchasers thereof (the "INITIAL PURCHASERS") for any
     reason by the close of business in New York on September 19, 2006 (or such
     later date as agreed upon by the parties) (September 19, 2006 or such later
     date as agreed upon being the "EARLY UNWIND DATE"), the Transaction shall
     automatically terminate (the "EARLY UNWIND") on the Early Unwind Date and
     (a) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of
     Deutsche and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and
     terminated and (b) each party shall be released and discharged by the other

                                       13

<PAGE>

     party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with
     respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of
     and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or
     after the Early Unwind Date; provided that, if the failure to consummate
     the sale of the Convertible Notes results solely from a breach by
     Counterparty of any representation or undertaking by Counterparty contained
