year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

          The Person in whose name any Note (or its predecessor security) is registered on the Note

thereof and express mention of the payment of Additional Interest (if applicable) in any provisions
hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Interest in those provisions hereof where
such express mention is not made.

     Section 2.05 Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Depositary.

          (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the corporate trust office a register (the register
maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to
Section 3.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Note Register,” which
Note Register shall constitute a Security Register (as such term is defined in the Original
Indenture) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall
provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. Such register shall be in written
form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of
time. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” and shall constitute a Security
Registrar (as such term is defined in the Original Indenture) for the purpose of registering Notes
and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars in
accordance with Section 3.02.

          Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency
maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 3.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and

10

 

deliver, the Notes that
the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not
contemporaneously Outstanding.

          None of the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-registrar shall be required to
exchange or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any
Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion or (ii) any
Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with
Article 9 hereof.

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

          (b) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless
otherwise required by law, all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form
(each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the
Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not
involve the issuance of a definitive Note, shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Supplemental
Indenture and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

          Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in
this Section 2.05(b)), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part except (i) 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 and (ii) for transfers of portions of a Global
Note in certificated form made upon request of a member of, or a participant in, the Depositary
(for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on
behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in
compliance with this Section 2.05.

          The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company
initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Global
Note. Initially, the Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede
& Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as Custodian for the
Depositary.

          If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or
unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed
within 90 calendar days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the
Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 calendar days or (iii) an Event
of Default in respect of the Notes has occurred and is continuing, and any Noteholder has requested
that the Notes be issued in definitive form in exchange for a Global Note, the Company will
execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of Notes, will authenticate and deliver Notes in definitive form to
each person that the Depositary identifies as a beneficial owner of the

11

 

related Notes (or a portion
thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in
exchange for such Global Note, and upon delivery of the Global Note to the Trustee such Global Note
shall be canceled.

          Definitive Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this
Section 2.05(b) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such definitive
Notes to the Persons in whose names such definitive Notes are so registered.

          At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, repurchased or
transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance
with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian. At
any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for definitive
Notes, converted, canceled, repurchased or transferred to a transferee who receives definitive
Notes therefor or any definitive Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the
principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and
instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or
increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect
such reduction or increase.

          None of the Company, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

     Section 2.06 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so,
the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Noteholders as a convenience to
holders of the Notes; provided , that any such notice may state that no representation is made as
to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company
will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

     Section 2.07 Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, without the consent of the Noteholders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen
this Supplemental Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms and with the
same CUSIP number as the Notes initially issued hereunder in an unlimited aggregate principal
amount, which will form the same series with the Notes initially issued hereunder; provided that no
such additional Notes will be treated as part of the same series as the Notes unless such
additional Notes will be part of the same issue as the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such
Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required
by Section 1.2 of the Original Indenture, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. The Company may
also from time to time

12

 

repurchase the Notes in open market purchases or negotiated transactions
without prior notice to Noteholders.

     Section 2.08 Provisions of the Indenture and Notes for the Sole Benefit of the Parties and
the Holders. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to
give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, the Holders or any Note Registrar, paying agent,
or conversion agent, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this
Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all its covenants,
conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, the Holders and any
Note Registrar, paying agent, and conversion agent.

     Section 4.02 Sole Remedy for Failure to Report. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, if the Company so elects, the sole remedy
for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations under
Section 3.08 will, for the period beginning on the 91st calendar day and ending on the 180th day
after the written notice of the occurrence of such failure to report from the Trustee or holders of
25% of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes, consist exclusively of the right to receive
additional interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the
Notes and, if the Company so elects, for the period beginning on the 181st calendar day and ending
on the 360th day after the written notice of the occurrence of such failure to report from the
Trustee or holders of 25% of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes, consist exclusively of
the right to receive additional interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the
principal amount of the Notes (the “Additional Interest”). This Additional Interest will be
payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes. If
the Company so elects, this Additional Interest will accrue on all Outstanding Notes from and including the
91st day following the date of such written notice of the failure to comply with Section 3.08 to
but not including the date on which the Event of Default relating to the reporting obligations as
set forth in Section 3.08 shall have been cured or waived. On the 270th calendar day after the
commencement of such Additional Interest (if such violation is not cured or waived prior to such
270th calendar day), the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 5.2 of the
Original Indenture.

          In order to exercise the extension right and elect to pay the Additional Interest as the sole
remedy following the occurrence of any Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with
Section 3.08 in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the Company must notify all Noteholders
and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election prior to the close of business on the 91st
calendar day after the written notice to the Company of such failure to report (or, if such date is
not a Business Day, on the first Business Day thereafter). Upon the Company’s failure to timely
give such notice, the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 5.2 of the
Original Indenture.

          For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.02 will not affect the rights of
Noteholders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default.

          (b) to provide for succession as contemplated in Article VII hereof and Article 8 of the
Original Indenture; or

          (c) that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or

          (d) to comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with the qualification of
this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect; or

          Any indenture, supplemental indenture or amendment to this Supplemental Indenture authorized
by the provisions of this Section 6.01 may be executed by the Company and
the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Outstanding Notes,
notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 6.02 hereof or Section 9.2 of the Original
Indenture.

     Section 6.02 Modifications and Amendments With Consent of Noteholders. With the consent
(evidenced as provided in Section 1.4 of the Original Indenture or in accordance with the
procedures of the Depositary) of the holders of at least a majority of Outstanding principal amount
of the Notes (determined in accordance with Section 1.4 of the Original Indenture and including,
without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange
offer for, Notes), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution and the Trustee, at the
Company’s expense, may from time to time enter into an indenture, supplemental indenture or
amendment to this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or
any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Notes;
provided , however, that in addition to the matters described in the proviso to Section 9.2 of the
Original Indenture, with respect to the Notes, no such amendment shall, without the consent of each
Noteholder affected hereby:

     (a) make any change that impairs or adversely affects the conversion rights of any Notes;

18

 

          (b) reduce any amount payable upon repurchase of any Note (including the Fundamental
Repurchase Price) or change the time at which or circumstances under which the Notes may or shall
be repurchased; or

          (c) reduce the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any Note or amend or modify in any
manner adverse to the holders of the Notes the Company’s obligation to make such payments, whether
through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise; or

          (d) change the ranking of the Notes within the Company’s Indebtedness; or

          (e) impair the right of a Noteholder of the Notes to receive payment of principal of and
interest on such Noteholder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor; or

          (f) modify any of the provisions of this Section which require each Noteholder’s consent or
provision in the Indenture that require waiver by the Noteholders.

     Section 6.03 Amendment Notification.Upon the effectiveness of any amendment to this
Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, the Company will deliver (or cause the Trustee to deliver) to
the holders of Notes a notice briefly describing such amendment, provided, that the failure to
deliver such notice to all of the holders of Notes, or any defect in such notice, will not impair
or otherwise affect the validity of such amendment.

ARTICLE VII

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, CONVEYANCE AND LEASE

     Section 7.01 Company May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in Section 8.1 of the Original Indenture, which Section is hereby superseded and
replaced in its entirety by this Section 7.01 for purposes of the Notes, the Company shall not
consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially
all of the Company’s properties and assets to any successor Person in a single transaction or
series of transactions, unless:

          (a) either:

          (i) the resulting, continuing, surviving or transferee Person is the Company;

          or

          (ii) the resulting, continuing, surviving or transferee Person, if other than the
Company, is organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America,
any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture
supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture;

19

 

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

          (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a
supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture
comply with this Section 7.01 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to
such transaction have been complied with; and

          (d) the Company has satisfied any other applicable conditions in the Indenture.

          Any reference in the Original Indenture to Section 8.1 therein shall, for the Notes, be deemed

ARTICLE VIII

CONVERSION OF NOTES

     Section 8.01 Right to Convert. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, on or
prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, each
Noteholder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the
portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such
holder’s Note into cash, and, if applicable, Common Stock based on the Conversion Rate,
unless such Notes have been previously repurchased or are subject to a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice that has not been validly withdrawn. The obligation of the Company to convert
the Notes is referred to as the “Conversion Obligation.” If a Noteholder has exercised its
right to require the Company to repurchase its Notes under Article 9, such Noteholder may convert
its Notes only if it withdraws its notice and converts its Notes before the close of business on
the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The delivery to the
Noteholder of the Settlement Amount together with any cash payment for such holder’s fractional
shares, will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the Notes
and to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay accrued and unpaid interest through the Conversion
Date, except as provided in Section 8.02(i).

          Prior to March 15, 2013, the Notes are convertible only in the circumstances described below
in clauses (i)-(iii). On or after March 15, 2013, a Noteholder may surrender Notes for conversion
at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date without
regard to such conditions.

          (i) Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Common Stock Price Condition. Notes may be
converted during any calendar quarter commencing after June 30, 2008, and only during such
quarter, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days
during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the
calendar quarter immediately preceding such calendar quarter (appropriately adjusted to take
into account the occurrence, during such 30 consecutive Trading Days, of any event requiring
adjustment of the Conversion Price under this Indenture) is more than 130% of the Conversion
Price on such 30th Trading Day.

20

 

          (ii) Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Trading Price Condition. Notes may be converted
during the five consecutive Business Days after any ten consecutive Trading Days on which
the Trading Price of $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined by the Bid Solicitation
Agent following a request by a Noteholder in accordance with the procedures described below
in Section 8.01(c), for each Trading Day of such ten Trading Days was less than 97% of the
product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for such Trading Day and the
Conversion Rate.

          (iii) Conversion Upon Specified Corporate Transactions.

          A Note may be converted during the applicable time period specified below if:

               (A) the Company makes a distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common
Stock of rights, warrants or options entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than
the date of distribution and expiring not more than 45 calendar days after the Record Date
of the distribution) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per
share less than the average Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 Trading
Days immediately preceding the date such distribution was first publicly announced;

               (B) the Company makes a distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common
Stock, of cash or other assets, debt securities, or rights or warrants to purchase the
Company’s securities (other than those referred to above), where the fair market value of
such distribution per share of Common Stock (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) exceeds 10% of the
Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
date such distribution was first publicly announced;

               (C) the Company is party to a consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale of all or
substantially all of its assets or other similar transaction (in each case other than with
one of the Company’s wholly-owned Subsidiaries), in each case pursuant to which the Common
Stock would be converted into (or holders of Common Stock would be entitled to receive)
cash, securities or other property; or

               (D) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs.

          In the event of a distribution described in Sections 8.01(a)(iii)(A) and (B), the Company
shall cause a written notice of such distribution to be given to the Trustee and the Conversion
Agent and to be mailed to each Noteholder no later than 20 Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend
Date for such distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, Noteholders may surrender
their Notes for conversion at any time thereafter until the earlier of the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date or the Company’s announcement that such
distribution will not take place. If such distribution does not occur as anticipated, the Company
will issue a press release and notify the holders who have elected to convert their Notes promptly
after the Company determines that such transaction will not occur and each such holder may elect to
withdraw any then pending election to convert by a written

21

 

notice of withdrawal delivered to the
Conversion Agent within 10 Business Days (or longer period if required by law) after the Company
makes such announcement. In such event, the Noteholders who do not make such a withdrawal election
will receive the applicable Settlement Amount with respect to Notes surrendered for conversion
three Trading Days following the later of (i) the end of the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging
Period or (ii) the expiration of the 10 Business Day (or longer period if required by law)
withdrawal period referred to above.

          In the event of a transaction described in Section 8.01(a)(iii)(C), the Company shall cause a
written notice of such transaction to be given to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent and to each
Noteholder no later than the date on which such transaction becomes effective. Once the Company
has given such notice, Noteholders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time from and
including the Effective Date of such transaction until and including the date that is 30 calendar
days after the Effective Date of such transaction.

          In the event of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall give notice to the Trustee,
the Conversion Agent and the Noteholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.03(d).
Once the Company has given such notice, Noteholders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any
time from and including the Effective Date of such transaction (or 15 Trading Days prior to the
date the Company has announced as the anticipated Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental
Change if such event constitutes a Fundamental Change as described under clause (d) of the
definition of Fundamental Change) until and
including the date that is 30 calendar days after the Effective Date of such transaction;
provided , however , the Company will have no obligation to deliver any Settlement Amount in
respect of any such conversion prior to the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

          In the case of an event constituting a Fundamental Change as described under clause (d) of the
definition of Fundamental Change, if the Company determines that such transaction will not occur on
substantially the terms anticipated, the Company will not be obligated to increase the Conversion
Rate pursuant to Section 8.03, regardless of the fact that holders may have elected to convert
Notes in anticipation of the Effective Date of such event and the Company will issue a press
release and notify the holders who have elected to convert their Notes promptly after the Company
determines that such transaction will not occur and each such holder may elect to withdraw any then
pending election to convert by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Conversion Agent
within 10 Business Days (or longer period if required by law) after the Company makes such
announcement. In such event, the Noteholders who do not make such a withdrawal election will
receive the applicable Settlement Amount with respect to Notes surrendered for conversion three
Trading Days following the later of (i) the end of the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging Period
or (ii) the expiration of the 10 Business Day (or longer period if required by law) withdrawal
period referred to above.

          (b) For each quarter of the Company commencing prior to March 15, 2013, the Company shall
determine, on the first Business Day following the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding
quarter, whether the Notes are convertible pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.01(a). If the
conditions set forth in clause (i) of Section 8.01(a) have been met, the Company shall so notify
the Trustee and mail to each Noteholder a written notice.

22

 

          (c) The Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the
Notes pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 8.01(a) unless the Company has requested such
determination in writing; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a
Noteholder properly makes such a request in writing to the Company and provides the Company with
reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes on a recent date on
or prior to the date of such request would be less than 97% of the product of the Last Reported
Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate then in effect on such date. If a Noteholder
provides such evidence or if the Company otherwise elects to require such determination, the
Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price of the Notes
beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price of the
Notes is greater than or equal to 97% of the product of the Last Reported Sale price of the Common
Stock and the Conversion Rate on such date. The Bid Solicitation Agent shall promptly notify the
Company of its determination on each such day. If the condition set forth in clause (ii) of
Section 8.01(a) has been met, the Company shall so notify the Noteholders.

          (d) For purposes of clause (ii) of Section 8.01(a), if the Bid Solicitation Agent cannot
reasonably obtain at least one bid for $5.0 million principal amount of Notes from an independent
nationally recognized securities dealer on a Trading Day, then the Trading Price of Notes will be
deemed to be less than 97% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and
the Conversion Rate for such Trading Day.

     Section 8.02 Conversion Procedure; Payment Upon Conversion.

          (a) Subject to this Section 8.02, the Company will satisfy the Conversion Obligation with
respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes surrendered for conversion in cash and shares of
fully paid Common Stock, if applicable, by delivering a “Settlement Amount” equal to the
sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the
applicable Cash Settlement Averaging Period.

          Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company shall deliver the Settlement Amount to the
Noteholders who have surrendered Notes for conversion on the third Business Day immediately
following the last day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period in respect of such Notes; provided
that, in the event of Reference Property which consists entirely of assets under clauses (b) and
(c) of the definition of Daily Conversion Value, the Company shall pay the Settlement Amount as
promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the third Business Day after the date of
determination of the value of such consideration, provided that no payment will be made prior to
the occurrence of the applicable Reference Property transaction.

          The (i) Conversion Rate, (ii) cash component of the Settlement Amount, (iii) number of full
shares of Common Stock, if any, to be delivered, and (iv) cash deliverable in lieu of fractional
shares pursuant to Section 8.02(k), if any, shall be determined by the Company promptly following
the last day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period. Promptly after such determination, the
Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of such determination.
The Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

23

 

          (b) Before any holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert the same as set forth above, such
holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in
effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest
Payment Date to which such holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 8.02(i) and, if required,
all transfer or similar taxes, if any, as set forth Section 8.02(f) and (ii) in the case of a Note
issued in certificated form, (1) complete and manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to
the Conversion Agent in the form on the reverse of such certificated Note (or a facsimile thereof)
(Exhibit B hereto) (a “ Notice of Conversion ”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and shall
state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with
addresses) in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for the shares of Common
Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender
such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank, at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if
required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such
holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 8.02(i), (4) if required, furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents, and (5) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes, if
any, as set forth in Section 8.02(f). The Trustee (and if different, the relevant Conversion Agent)
shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 8 on the date of such
conversion. No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a holder
thereof if such holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in
respect of such Notes and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, as the
case may be, in accordance with Section 9.02.

          If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the
Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes, if any, that shall be payable upon conversion
shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified
portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.

          (c) Upon effectiveness of corporate transactions specified in Section 8.06, the Company will
settle conversion with respect to such transactions as described above (based on the Conversion
Rate as increased by the Additional Shares (if any) as set forth in Section 8.03, as applicable) on
the later to occur of (i) the third Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of the
transaction and (ii) the third Trading Day following the last day of the applicable Cash Settlement
Averaging Period.

          (d) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business
on the date that the holder has complied with the requirements set forth in Section 8.02(b) above
(the “Conversion Date”). The payment of cash and delivery of shares of Common Stock, if
any, and the payment of cash, if any, in lieu of fractional shares, pursuant to Section 8.02(a) in
satisfaction of the Conversion Obligation shall be made by the Company in no event later than the
date specified in Section 8.02(a) or 8.02(c) or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture by
(i) payment of the cash comprising a portion of the Settlement Amount (including amounts of cash in
lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares, if any), and (ii) by issuing or causing to be
issued, and delivering to the Conversion Agent or to such holder, or such holder’s nominee or
nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the number of full
shares of Common Stock, if any, to which such holder shall be entitled as part of such Conversion
Obligation.

24

 

          (e) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder of the
Note so surrendered, without charge to such holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note,
provided, that the Company and the Trustee may refuse to deliver such new Note or Notes in a name
other than the surrendering Noteholder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay
any tax, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection therewith as a
result of the name of the Noteholder of the new Notes issued being different from the name of the
Noteholder of the old Notes surrendered.

          (f) If a holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay all documentary, stamp or
similar issue or transfer tax, if any, that may be imposed by the United States or any political
subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of shares
of Common Stock, upon the conversion. However, the holder shall pay any such tax that is due
because the holder requests any such shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the
holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares
of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the holder’s name until the Trustee receives a
sum sufficient to pay any tax that 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
regulations.

          (g) Except as provided in Section 8.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any
shares issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article.

          (h) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the
direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the
principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

          (i) If Notes are converted after the close of business on an Interest Record Date but prior to
the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, holders of such Notes as
of the close of business on the Interest Record Date will receive the interest payable on such
Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes, upon
surrender for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Interest Record Date
but prior to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be
accompanied by funds equal to the amount of the interest payable on the Notes so converted;
provided , however , that no such payment shall be required (1) to the extent of any overdue
interest, if any, existing at the time of conversion with respect to such Note or (2) if the Notes
are surrendered for conversion after the close of business on the Interest Record Date immediately
preceding the Maturity Date and before the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Maturity Date. Except as described above, no payment or adjustment will be made for
accrued and unpaid interest on converted Notes.

          (j) The Person in whose name the certificate for any shares of Common Stock delivered upon
conversion is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on
the last Trading Day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period; provided ,

25

 

however , if the last
Trading Day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period occurs on any date when the stock transfer
books of the Company shall be closed, such occurrence shall not be effective to constitute the
Person or Persons entitled to receive any such shares of Common Stock due upon conversion as the
record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such occurrence shall be
effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as
the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next
succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open. Upon conversion of Notes, such Person
shall no longer be a Noteholder.

          (k) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Note or Notes.
Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued upon conversion of
any Note or Notes (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of a share), as determined by the
Company, in an amount equal to the same fraction of the average of the Applicable Stock Prices on
each Trading Day of the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging Period. If more than one Note shall
be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares that shall
be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount
of the Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. For purposes of the foregoing,
fractional shares arising from the calculation of the Daily Settlement Amount for any day in the
Cash Settlement Averaging Period shall be aggregated with fractional shares of all other days in
such period in determining the Settlement
Amount, and any whole shares resulting therefrom shall be issued and any remaining fractional
shares shall be paid in cash.

          (l) When a Noteholder surrenders Notes for conversion, the Company may direct, in writing, the
Conversion Agent to surrender such Notes to a financial institution designated by the Company (the
“Designated Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order to accept any Notes
surrendered for conversion, the Designated Institution must agree to deliver, in exchange for such
Notes, cash and the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, due upon conversion based upon the
Conversion Rate in full satisfaction of the Conversion Obligation, as determined pursuant to
Section 8.02(a). By the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the
start of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period (or, if provision of notice on such date is
impracticable, promptly following conversion), the Company will provide written notification to the
Noteholder surrendering the Notes for conversion that it has directed the Designated Institution to
make an exchange in lieu of conversion. If the Designated Institution accepts any such Notes, it
will deliver the cash, and if any, the number of shares of Common Stock due upon conversion to the
Conversion Agent, and the Conversion Agent will deliver such cash and shares of Common Stock to the
converting Noteholder. Any Notes exchanged by the Designated Institution will remain Outstanding.
If the Designated Institution does not accept the Notes for exchange or agrees to accept any Notes
for exchange but does not timely deliver the related cash and shares of Common Stock, the Company
will, as promptly as practical thereafter (but in any event, no later than the third Trading Day
immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period)
convert the Notes as set forth under Section 8.02(a). The Company’s designation of a Designated
Institution to which the Notes may be submitted for exchange does not require the Designated
Institution to accept any Notes. The Company will not pay any consideration to, or otherwise enter
into any agreement with, the Designated Institution for or with respect to such designation.

26

 

     Section 8.03 Increase of Conversion Rate Upon Conversion Upon Make-Whole Fundamental
Changes. (a) If a Noteholder elects to convert Notes in connection with a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change, then the Conversion Rate of the Notes being converted by such Noteholder shall
be increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) if
any, as described herein. For purposes of this Section 8.03, any conversion of the Notes by a
Noteholder will be deemed to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if
it occurs during the period that begins on the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change
(or 15 Trading Days prior to the date the Company has announced as the anticipated Effective Date
of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change pursuant to clause (d) below if such event constitutes a
Fundamental Change as described under clause (d) of the definition of Fundamental Change) and ends
on (and includes) the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date relating to such
Make-Whole Fundamental Change. In the case of a transaction described in clause (d) of the
definition of Fundamental Change, if the Company determines that such transaction will not occur on
substantially the terms anticipated, the Company will not be obligated to increase the Conversion
Rate, regardless of the fact that holders may have elected to convert Notes in anticipation of the
effective date of such event, and the Company will issue a press release and notify the holders who
have so elected to convert their Notes promptly after the Company determines that the transaction
in question will not occur. Each such holder may then elect to withdraw any election to convert by
a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the Conversion Agent within 10 Business Days after the Company announces
that the transaction will not occur as anticipated (or longer period if required by applicable
law).

          The increase in the Conversion Rate in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change,
expressed as a number of Additional Shares, will be determined by the Company by reference to the
table and adjustments thereto in Section 8.03(b), based on the Effective Date of the Make-Whole
Fundamental Change and the applicable Stock Price.

          (b) The following table sets forth the Effective Date and number of Additional Shares by which
the Conversion Rate will be increased upon a conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental
Change that occurs in the corresponding period to be determined by reference to the Stock Price and
Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

          provided, however, that:

          (i) if the actual Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two
Stock Prices listed in the table above under the column titled “Stock Price,” or if the
actual Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two Effective Dates
listed in the table above in the row immediately below the title “Effective Date,” then the
number of Additional Shares for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by
the Company by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set
forth for such higher and lower Stock Prices, or for such earlier and later Effective Dates
based on a 365 day year, as applicable;

          (ii) if the actual Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is greater than $[
] per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Price as provided in
clause (iii) below), or if the actual Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is
less than $[ ] per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Price as
provided in clause (iii) below), then the number of Additional Shares shall be equal to zero
and this Section 8.03 shall not require the Company to increase the Conversion Rate with
respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change;

          (iii) if an event occurs that requires, pursuant to Section 8.04, an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate, then, on the date and at the time such adjustment is so required to be
made, each price set forth in the table above under the column titled “Stock Price” shall be
adjusted so that such Stock Price, at and after such time, shall be equal to the product of
(1) such Stock Price as in effect immediately before such adjustment to such Stock Price and
(2) a fraction whose numerator is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before such
adjustment to the Conversion Rate and whose denominator is the Conversion Rate to be in
effect, in accordance with Section 8.04, immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion
Rate; and

          (iv) each number of Additional Shares set forth in the table above shall be adjusted in
the same manner in which, and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is to be
adjusted pursuant to Section 8.04.

          In no event will the Conversion Rate after adjustment described in this Section 8.03(b) exceed
[  ] per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustments as set forth in Section 8.04.

          (c) For the avoidance of doubt, the increases provided for in Section 8.03 shall only be made
with respect to the Notes being converted in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and
shall not be effective as to any Notes not so converted.

          (d) As soon as practicable after the Company determines the anticipated Effective Date of any
proposed Make-Whole Fundamental Change and no later than the 15th Scheduled Trading Day prior to
the date on which such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is anticipated to become effective, or if
later, promptly upon becoming aware of such transaction, the Company shall provide written notice
of such anticipated Effective Date to the Trustee and

29

 

the Conversion Agent and mail a notice to each Noteholder, and shall issue a press release
indicating, and publicly announce, through a public medium that is customary for such
announcements, and publish on the Company’s website, the anticipated Effective Date of such
proposed Make-Whole Fundamental Change. Each such notice, press release notice, announcement and
publication shall also state that in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the
Company shall increase, in accordance herewith, the Conversion Rate applicable to Notes entitled as
provided herein to such increase (along with a description of how such increase shall be calculated
and the time periods during which Notes must be surrendered in order to be entitled to such
increase). No later than the actual Effective Date of each Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the
Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent and mail a notice to
each Noteholder, and shall issue a press release indicating, and publicly announce, through a
public medium that is customary for such announcements, and publish on the Company’s website, such
Effective Date and the amount by which the Conversion Rate has been so increased.

     Section 8.04 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 issue shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on
shares of Common Stock to all holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or if the Company
effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the
following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR’ = CR 0
	 	X
	 	OS’
 

OS 0
	 	 

where,

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR 0
	 	= 
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open
of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution, or the open of business on the effective date
of such share split or share combination, as the case may
be;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR’
	 	= 
	 	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open
of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution, or the open of business on the effective date
of such share split or share combination, as the case may
be;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	OS 0
	 	= 
	 	the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately
prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for
such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on
the effective date of such share split or share combination,
as the case may be; and
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	OS’
	 	= 
	 	the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately
after such dividend or distribution, or the open of business
on the effective date of such share split or share
combination, as the case may be.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend
Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date for such share split or share

30

 

combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 8.04(a) is
declared but not so paid or made, or any split or combination of the type described in this Section
8.04(a) is announced but the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not split or combined, as the
case may be, the new Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the
Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or split or combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be
in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or such share split or share
combination had not been announced.

(b) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common
Stock any rights or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after
the Record Date of such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a
price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock on the
10 Trading Days immediately preceding the date that such distribution was first publicly announced,
the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR’ = CR 0
	 	X
	 	OS 0 + X
 

OS 0 + Y
	 	 

where,

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR 0
	 	= 
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open
of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR’
	 	= 
	 	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open
of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	OS 0
	 	= 
	 	the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock
immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend
Date for such distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	X
	 	= 
	 	the total number of shares of the Common Stock issuable
pursuant to such rights or warrants; and
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Y
	 	= 
	 	the number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the
aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants,
divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of
Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on
the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date
for such distribution of such rights or warrants.

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are distributed and
shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such
distribution. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration
of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that
would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been
made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If
such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again

31

 

be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not
been declared.

          In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase
shares of the Common Stock at less than the applicable Last Reported Sale Price of the Common
Stock, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such Common Stock,
there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or
warrants and any amount payable upon exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such
consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. In no event shall
the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 8.04(b), except for readjustments
described above.

          (c) In case the Company shall distribute shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its
indebtedness or other of its assets or property other than (i) dividends or distributions covered
by Section 8.04(a) or Section 8.04(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash,
and (iii) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 8.04(c) shall apply
(any of such shares of Capital Stock, indebtedness, or other asset or property hereinafter in this
Section 8.04(c) called the “ Distributed Property ”), to all or substantially all holders of its
Common Stock, then, in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following
formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR’ = CR 0	 	X
	 	SP 0
 

SP 0 – FMV
	 	 

where,

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR 0
	 	= 
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open
of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR’
	 	= 
	 	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open
of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	SP 0
	 	= 
	 	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common
Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for
such distribution; and
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	FMV
	 	= 
	 	the fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors) of the Distributed Property with respect to one
share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such
distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend
Date for such distribution; provided that if “FMV” as set forth above is equal to or greater than
“SP0” as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so
that each Noteholder shall receive on the date on which the Distributed Property is distributed to
holders of the Common Stock, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes upon conversion, the amount
of Distributed Property such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the Daily Conversion Rate on the Record

32

 

Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall
again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been declared. Except as provided below, if the Board of Directors determines
“FMV” for purposes of this Section 8.04(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 Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading
Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

          In lieu of the foregoing, with respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8.04(c) where
there has been a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of
any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business
unit of the Company (a “ Spin - Off ”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the close
of business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of
the Spin-Off will be increased based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR’ = CR 0	 	X
	 	FMV + MP 0
 

MP 0
	 	 

where,

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR 0
	 	= 
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close
of business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following,
and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR’
	 	= 
	 	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the
close of business on the tenth Trading Day immediately
following, and including, the effective date of the
Spin-Off;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	FMV
	 	= 
	 	the average of the last reported sale prices of the Capital
Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of
the Common Stock on its principal trading market applicable
to one share of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive
Trading Days immediately following, and including, the
effective date of the Spin-Off; and
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	MP 0
	 	= 
	 	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common
Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately
following, and including, the effective date of the
Spin-Off.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall become effective
immediately prior to the open of business on the day immediately following the tenth Trading Day
immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that, for
purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the 10 Trading
Days immediately following, and including, the effective date of any Spin-Off, references in the
portion of this Section 8.04(c) related to Spin-Offs to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced
with such lesser number of Trading Days (but in no event fewer than five Trading Days) as have

33

 

elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date for such conversion.
If such Spin-Off is not consummated or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Spin-Off had not been declared.

          (d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of its
Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR’ = CR 0	 	X
	 	SP 0
 

SP 0 – C
	 	 

where,

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR 0
	 	= 
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open
of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR’
	 	= 
	 	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open
of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	SP 0
	 	= 
	 	the average of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common
Stock on the ten Trading Days immediately preceding the
Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	C
	 	= 
	 	the aggregate amount of cash so distributed applicable to
one share of Common Stock.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend
Date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the portion of the cash so distributed
applicable to one share of the Common Stock is equal to or greater than SP0 as set forth above, in
lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall
have the right to receive on the date on which the relevant cash dividend or distribution is
distributed to holders of Common Stock, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes upon conversion,
the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares equal
to the Daily Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such distribution. If such dividend or
distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been
declared.

          For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 8.04(d), in the event of any
reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Notes become convertible into cash
and more than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required
pursuant to this Section 8.04(d), references in this Section to one share of Common Stock or Last
Reported Sale Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price
of a unit consisting of an amount of cash and shares equal to the number of shares of each class of
Common Stock into which the Notes are then convertible plus the cash issued in respect of one share
of Common Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly
apply to successive reclassifications.

34

 

          (e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or
exchange offer for the Common Stock and the cash and value of any other consideration included in
the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of
the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Trading Day
next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or
exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR’ = CR 0  X
	 	AC + (SP’ X OS’)
     OS 0 X SP’

where,

	 	 	 	 	 
	CR 0

	 	= 
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close
of business on the last Trading Day of the 10 consecutive
Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Trading Day
next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer
expires;
	 
	 	 	 	 
	CR’

	 	= 
	 	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the
close of business on the day immediately following the tenth
Trading Day immediately following, and including, the date
such tender or exchange offer expires;
	 
	 	 	 	 
	AC

	 	= 
	 	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration
(as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable
for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or
exchange offer;
	 
	 	 	 	 
	OS 0

	 	= 
	 	the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately
prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
	 
	 	 	 	 
	OS’

	 	 	 	the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately
after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after
giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for
purchase or exchange pursuant to such tender offer or
exchange offer); and
	 
	 	 	 	 
	SP’

	 	 	 	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock
over the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on, and
including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such
tender or exchange offer expires,

such adjustment to become effective immediately after the close of business on the day immediately
following the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the date such tender or
exchange offer expires; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect
of any conversion during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, but excluding, the date that
any such tender or exchange offer expires, references in this Section 8.04(e) to 10 Trading Days
shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the date
that such tender or exchange offer expires and the Conversion Date for such conversion, but in no
event less than five Trading Days. If the
Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to

35

 

any
such tender or exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or
all or any portion of such purchases or all or any portion of such purchases are rescinded, the new
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such
tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that
had been effected. In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this
Section 8.04(e), except with respect to readjustment described above.

          (f) For purposes of this Section 8.04, the term “Record Date” shall mean, with respect
to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock
(or other security) have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which
the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination
of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of
Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

          (g) Except as expressly stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for
the issuance of shares of its Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of its Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of its Common Stock or such convertible
or exchangeable securities.

          (h) In addition to those required by clauses Section 8.04(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this
Section 8.04, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of
the National Securities Exchanges, the Company from time to time may (but is under no obligation
to) increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the
Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In
addition, the Company may also (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or
diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection
with any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event.
Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall
mail to the holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Note Register provided for in
Section 2.05 a notice of the increase at least 15 calendar days prior to the date the increased
Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the
period during which it will be in effect.

          (i) For avoidance of doubt, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted:

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

          (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock or restricted stock units or
options or rights (including stockholder appreciation rights) to purchase those shares
pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program
of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;

36

 

          (iii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option,
warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause
(ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued or issued
after such date and not expressly covered by a transaction described in 8.04(a), 8.04(b),
8.04(c), 8.04(d) or 8.04(e);

          (iv) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock not otherwise described in
this Section 8.04(i) that is not expressly covered by Sections 8.04(a), 8.04(b), 8.04(c),
8.04(d) or 8.04(e), regardless of the price at which such Common Stock are issued;

          (v) upon the repurchase of any of the Common Stock pursuant to an open-market share
repurchase program or other buy-back transaction that is not a tender offer or exchange
offer of the nature described in this Section 8.04;

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

          (vii) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any; or

          (viii) for any transactions described in this Section 8.04, if Noteholders participate
(as a result of holding the Notes, and at the same time as holders of Common Stock
participate) in such transactions as if such Noteholders held a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the Applicable Daily Conversion Rate at the time such adjustment would be
required, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such
Noteholder, without having to convert their Notes.

          (j) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 8 shall be made by the
Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.04, the Company will not be required to adjust the
Conversion Rate unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% of the Conversion
Rate. However, the Company will carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the
Conversion Rate and take them into account when determining subsequent adjustments. In addition,
the Company will make any carry forward adjustments not otherwise effected (i) upon conversion of
the Notes, (ii) upon required repurchases of the Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change, and
(iii) 25 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Maturity Date of the Notes. No adjustment to the
Conversion Rate will be made if it results in a Conversion Price that is less than the par value
(if any) of Common Stock.

          (k) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly
file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a responsible officer of the Trustee shall have
received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of
which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the
Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted
Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and

37

 

shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the holder of each Note at
its last address appearing on the Note Register provided for in Section 2.05, within 10 calendar
days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the
legality or validity of any such adjustment.

          (l) For purposes of this Section 8.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares
issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

          (m) The Board of Directors will make appropriate adjustments, in its good faith determination,
to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring
an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, during any
consecutive Trading Day period used for the measurement of any adjustment required under this
Section 8.04.

     Section 8.05 Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of
its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to
provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.

     Section 8.06 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale; Treatment of Reference Property.

          (a) Upon the occurrence of (i) any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change
only in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or a
change as a result of a subdivision or combination of Common Stock), (ii) any consolidation, merger
or combination involving the Company, or (iii) any sale or conveyance to another Person of the
property and assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, and pursuant to
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, the Common Stock is
converted into or exchanged for stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash)
or any combination thereof (any such event a “ Merger Event”), then the Company, or such
successor or surviving, purchasing or transferee Person, as the case may be, shall, as a condition
precedent to such Merger Event, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture
providing that, at the effective time of the Merger Event, the right to receive shares of the
Common Stock upon conversion of a Note, if any, will be changed into the right to receive the kind
and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) or any
combination thereof that a holder would have been entitled to receive (the “ Reference
Property “) upon such transaction in respect of such Common Stock. From and after the Effective
Time of such transaction, (i) Conversion Rate will relate to units of such Reference Property (a
“unit” of Reference Property being the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one
share of the Common Stock would receive in such transaction) and (ii) the Daily Conversion Values
will be determined based on the value of one unit of Reference Property determined as provided
under the definition of Daily Conversion Value.

          In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.06,
the Company shall promptly give the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating

38

 

the reasons therefore, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will
comprise the Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect
thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice
thereof to all Noteholders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental
indenture to be mailed to each Noteholder, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided
for in this First Supplemental Indenture, within 20 calendar days after execution thereof. Failure
to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

          (b) If the Merger Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more
than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder
election), the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible will be deemed to be the
weighted average of the types and amounts of such consideration received by the holders of Common
Stock that affirmatively make such an election.

          (c) None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Noteholder to convert its
Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Article 8 prior to the effective date of such
Merger Event. The provisions of this Section 8.06 shall similarly apply to successive Merger
Events.

     Section 8.07 Certain Covenants.

          (a) Subject to Section 8.02(f) hereof, the Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

          (b) The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose
of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental
authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion,
the Company shall, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of such
governmental authority(ies), secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

          (c) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any
National Securities Exchange or automated quotation system the Company shall, if permitted and
required by the rules of the relevant exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed,
so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

     Section 8.08 Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any
time be under any duty or responsibility to any Noteholder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any
adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any
increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any
such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental
indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent
shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any
shares of Common Stock, or of any securities, property or

39

 

cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee
and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee
nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or
deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash
upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties,
responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any
responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental
indenture entered into pursuant to Section 8.06 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of
stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Noteholders upon the conversion of
their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 8.06 or to any adjustment to be made with
respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Original Indenture, may
accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any
such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the
Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental
indenture) with respect thereto.

ARTICLE IX

REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

     Section 9.01 Repurchase at Option of Holders upon a Fundamental Change.

          (a) In the event a Fundamental Change shall occur at any time when any Notes remain
Outstanding, each Noteholder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company
to purchase all of such holders’ Notes or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal
to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof on a date specified by the Company (the “Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date”) that is not less than 20 nor more than 35 calendar days (or any longer
period required by law) after the Effective Date for such Fundamental Change, at a purchase price
in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price”). If such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Interest Record
Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company shall instead pay the
principal amount to the Noteholders surrendering the Notes for repurchase pursuant to this
Section 9.01, and pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest payable on such Interest
Payment Date to the holder of record on the close of business on the corresponding Interest Record
Date. Repurchases of Notes under this Section 9.01 shall be made on the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date, at the option of the holder thereof, upon:

          (i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Noteholder of a duly completed notice in the form
set forth on the reverse of the Note as Exhibit C thereto (the “Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice”) on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

          (ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes to the Paying Agent at any time after
delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all

40

 

necessary
endorsements) at the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent in the United States, such
book-entry transfer or delivery being a condition to receipt by the holder of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 9.01 only if the Note so
delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in
the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

          The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state:

                    (A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

                    (B) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be
$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

                    (C) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture;

provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures.

          Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.01
shall be consummated by the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price promptly following
the later of the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of the
book-entry transfer or delivery of the Note as described in Section 9.03(a).

          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any holder delivering to the Paying Agent the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 9.01 shall have the right to
withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date
by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 9.02
below.

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

          (b) Within 15 calendar days after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall
give to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent and provide or cause to be provided
to all holders of record of the Notes a written notice (the “Fundamental Change Company
Notice”) of the occurrence of the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change and of the
repurchase right at the option of the holders arising as a result thereof. Simultaneously with the
providing of such notice, the Company will also publish a notice containing the information set
forth in the Fundamental Change Company Notice in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of
New York or
publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the
Company may use at that time.

          Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

41

 

          (i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

          (ii) the effective date of the Fundamental Change;

          (iii) the last date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase right set forth in
this Section 9.01;

          (iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

          (v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

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

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

          (viii) if applicable, that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a holder may be converted only if the holder
withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture;

          (ix) that the holder must exercise the repurchase right set forth in this Section 9.01
on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Expiration Time”);

          (x) that the holder shall have the right to withdraw any Notes surrendered prior to the
Fundamental Change Expiration Time; and

          (xi) the procedures that holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their
Notes.

          No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the
Noteholders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the
Notes pursuant to this Section 9.01.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company at the option of
the holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated,
and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date
(except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes).

          (d) In connection with any repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 9.01, the Company
will, to the extent applicable:

42

 

          (i) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other applicable
tender offer rules under the Exchange Act;

          (ii) file a Schedule TO or any successor or similar schedule, if required under the
Exchange Act; and

          (iii) otherwise comply with all applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in
connection with any offer by the Company to purchase the Notes.

     Section 9.02 Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

          (a) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms
hereof, at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:

          (i) the certificate number, if any, of the Note in respect of which such notice of
withdrawal is being submitted, or the appropriate Depositary information if the Note in
respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted is represented by a Global
Note;

          (ii) the principal amount of the Note with respect to which such notice of withdrawal
is being submitted; and

          (iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, which portion must be in principal
amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000;

provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the notice must
comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

     Section 9.03 Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. (a) The Company will deposit with the
Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03 of the Original
Indenture) on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, an amount of money sufficient to repurchase
all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the
case may be. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent
appointed by the Company), payment for Notes properly surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn
prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time, as applicable) will be made on the later of
(i) the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, with
respect to such Note (provided the holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 9.01) and
(ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying
Agent appointed by the Company) by the holder thereof in the manner required by Section 9.01, by
mailing checks for the amount
payable to the holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register;
provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall,

43

 

promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds
in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the case may be.

          (b) If by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change
Date, as the case may be, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money
sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased, then
(i) such Notes will cease to be Outstanding and interest will cease to accrue on such Notes
(whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to
the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (ii) all other rights of the holders of such Notes will terminate
(other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the case may be, upon
delivery or transfer of the Notes).

          (c) Upon surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to Section 9.01, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the holder a new Note in an
authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unrepurchased portion of the Note
surrendered.

and among the Company and the Trustee (herein called the “First Supplemental Indenture” and
the Original Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the

limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company
and the holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal
amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture.

          In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be
continuing, except as set forth in Section 4.02 of the Supplemental Indenture, the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Noteholders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then Outstanding, and upon said
declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the
conditions provided in the Indenture.

          Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and
deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the principal amount on the
Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect
such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United
States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

          The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain
circumstances, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, and in other circumstances, with
the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of Outstanding principal amount of the
Notes, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the
terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture
that, subject to certain exceptions, the holders of a majority of Outstanding principal amount of
the Notes may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of
Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations,
without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in

SHARE LENDING AGREEMENT

Dated as of June 18, 2008

Among

CREDIT SUISSE INTERNATIONAL (“Borrower”), through CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES

(USA) LLC, as agent for Borrower (“Borrowing Agent”).

and

     CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES (USA) LLC, in its capacity as Collateral Agent (as hereinafter
defined). This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which Borrower may borrow from

Law.

     “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning within Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the
rules promulgated thereunder.

     “Business Day” means, with respect to any Loan hereunder, a day on which regular

     “Closing Price” on any day means, with respect to the Common Stock (i) if the Common
Stock is listed or admitted to trading on a U.S. securities exchange registered under the Exchange
Act or is included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service (operated by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.), the last reported sale price, regular way, in the principal trading
session on such day on such market on which the Common Stock is then listed or is admitted to
trading

 

 

(or, if the day of determination is not a Business Day, the last preceding Business Day) and
(ii) if the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to trading or if the last reported sale price
is not obtainable (even if the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on such market), the

(which may include Borrower or its Affiliates), but not exceeding three, as shall furnish bid
prices available to the Lender.

on the books of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as securities intermediary, and designated
“Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as Collateral Agent of Lender, as pledgee of Credit Suisse

shall be segregated from all other assets and property of the Collateral Agent, which segregation
may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and records of the Collateral Agent,
as a “securities intermediary” within the meaning of the UCC. The securities intermediary
acknowledges that the Collateral Account is maintained for the Collateral Agent and undertakes to
treat the Collateral Agent as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise the Collateral credited

any other security into which the Common Stock shall be exchanged or converted as the result of any

bankruptcy), in each case not involving an Unaffiliated Third Party.

     “Convertible Notes” means the $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.0% Senior

the extent the option to purchase additional 3.0% Senior Convertible Notes due 2013 is exercised in
full as set forth in the underwriting agreement relating to the initial purchase of the Convertible
Notes.

     “Credit Downgrade” occurs when the Borrower receives a rating for its long term,
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is below A- by Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group, or

(“Moody’s”), or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, an equivalent or lower
rating by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed upon by the Lender and the Borrower.

     “Credit Upgrade” occurs when the Borrower receives a rating for its long term,
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is A- or better by S&P or A3 or better by Moody’s,
or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, an equivalent or higher rating by a
substitute rating agency mutually agreed upon by the Lender and the Borrower.

     “Cutoff Time” shall mean 10:00 a.m. in the jurisdiction of the Clearing Organization,

(the “First Supplemental Indenture”).

     “Interested Stockholder” has the meaning as set forth in Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law.

     “Loan Availability Period” means the period beginning with the date of issuance of the
Convertible Notes and ending on the earliest of (i) June 15, 2013, (ii) the date as of which the
Lender has notified the Borrower in writing of its intention to terminate this Agreement at any
time after the latest of (y) the date on which the entire principal amount of the Convertible Notes
ceases to be outstanding and (z) the date on which the entire principal amount of any additional
convertible securities of the Lender which the Lender has in writing consented to permit the
Borrower to hedge under this Agreement ceases to be outstanding, in each case, whether as a result
of conversion, redemption, repurchase, cancellation or otherwise and (iii) the date on which this
Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     “Loaned Shares” means shares of Common Stock initially transferred to the Borrower in
a Loan hereunder until such Loan or portion thereof is terminated and a corresponding number of
Loaned Shares is transferred to Lender pursuant to this Agreement; provided that in respect of any
such shares of Common Stock initially transferred to the Borrower by Lender and subsequently
transferred by the Borrower to another transferee, “Loaned Shares” means an equivalent number of
shares of identical Common Stock.  If, as the result of a stock dividend, stock split or reverse
stock split, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased or decreased, then the
number of outstanding Loaned Shares shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case
may be.  If any new or different security (or two or more securities) shall be exchanged for the
outstanding shares of Common Stock as the result of any reorganization, merger, consolidation,
reclassification, recapitalization or other corporate action (including, without limitation, a
reorganization in bankruptcy) not involving an Unaffiliated Third Party, such new or different
security (or such two or more securities collectively) shall, effective upon such exchange, be
deemed to become a Loaned Share in substitution for the former Loaned Share for which such exchange
is made.

3

Closing Price of the Common Stock prior to such day and (ii) with respect to any Collateral that is
(a) Cash, the face amount thereof, (b) a letter of credit, the undrawn amount thereof and (c) any
other security or property, the market value thereof, as determined by the Collateral Agent, in
accordance with market practice for such securities or property, based on the price for such
security or property as of the most recent close of trading obtained from a generally recognized
source or the closing bid quotation at the most recent close of trading obtained from such source,
plus accrued interest to the extent not included therein, unless market practice with respect to
the valuation of such securities or property in connection is to the contrary.

     “Maximum Number of Shares” means 3,444,975 shares of Common Stock, subject to the
following adjustments:

     (a) If, as the result of any change in nominal value or par value, or any stock dividend,
stock split or reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased
or decreased, the Maximum Number of Shares shall, effective as of the payment or delivery date of
any such event, be proportionally increased or decreased, as the case may be.

     (b) If, pursuant to a merger, consolidation, other business combination, reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization or other corporate action (including, without limitation, a
reorganization in bankruptcy) involving an Unaffiliated Third Party, the Common Stock is exchanged

reduced to zero on the effective date of such event.

     (c) Upon the termination of any Loan pursuant to Section 5(a), the Maximum Number of Shares

exceed the sum of (y) the product of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes
outstanding at such time, divided by $1,000 and (ii) the Conversion Rate (as defined in the
First Supplemental Indenture) of the Convertible Notes plus (z) the product of (i) the
aggregate principal amount outstanding at such time of any additional convertible securities of the
Lender which the Lender has in writing consented to permit the Borrower to hedge under this
Agreement, divided by $1,000 and (ii) the conversion rate (as defined in an indenture or a
supplemental indenture relating to such additional convertible securities) of such additional
convertible securities.

     “Non-Cash Collateral” means (i) any evidence of indebtedness issued, or directly and
fully guaranteed or insured, by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality
thereof; (ii) any deposits, certificates of deposit or acceptances of any institution which is a
member of the Federal Reserve System having combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of
not less than $500 million at the time of deposit (and which may include the Collateral Agent or
any Affiliate of the Collateral Agent so long as the Collateral Agent is other than Borrower or an
Affiliate of Borrower); (iii) any investments of any Person that is fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by a bank referred to in clause (ii); (iv) any repurchase agreements

successor thereto; (vi) any money market funds (including, but not limited to, money market funds
managed by the Collateral Agent or an Affiliate of the Collateral Agent) registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (vii) any letter of credit issued by a bank referred to
in clause (ii); and (viii) all proceeds of the foregoing; provided that in no event shall Non-Cash

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to make

     (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may, by written notice to

transaction in which Lender will lend Loaned Shares to Borrower through the issuance by Lender of
such Loaned Shares to Borrower upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this
Agreement (each such issuance and loan, a “Loan”).  Such Loan shall be confirmed by a
schedule and receipt listing the Loaned Shares provided by Lender to Borrower (the
“Confirmation”).  Such Confirmation shall constitute conclusive evidence with respect to
the Loan, including the number of shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Loan, to which
the Confirmation relates, unless a written objection to the Confirmation specifying the reasons for
the objection is received by Lender within five Business Days after the delivery of the
Confirmation to Borrower; provided that in no event shall the delivery of the Confirmation or

5

 

any such objection thereto delay the transfer of Loaned Shares to which a Borrowing Notice
relates pursuant to clause (d) below.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Borrower shall not be
permitted to borrow, and may not initiate a Loan hereunder with respect to, any shares of Common
Stock at any time to the extent that Borrower determines (i) that any Loan of such shares of Common
Stock shall cause Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower subject to aggregation with Borrower under
Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder or any “group” (within the
meaning of such Section 13 and rules) of which Borrower is a member (collectively, “Borrower
Group”) to directly or indirectly have Beneficial Ownership of more than 9.0% of the shares of
Common Stock outstanding at such time or (ii) Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, would be an
Interested Stockholder of Lender. If any delivery owed to Borrower hereunder is not made, in whole
or in part, as a result of this provision, Lender’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be
extinguished during the Loan Availability Period and Lender shall make such delivery as promptly as
practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Borrower gives notice to
Lender that such delivery would not (i) result in Borrower Group directly or indirectly having
Beneficial Ownership of more than 9.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time or
(ii) result in Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower becoming an Interested Stockholder of Lender.
Under no circumstances shall Lender be liable to Borrower for any Loan in contravention of this
Section 2(c).

     (d) Lender shall transfer Loaned Shares to Borrower on or before the Cutoff Time on the date
specified in the related Borrowing Notice provided that no Loans will be made after July 8, 2008.
Delivery of the Loaned Shares to Borrower shall be made in the manner set forth under Section 13
below.

     Section 3. Collateral. 

     (a) Unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender, Borrower shall, no later than 10:00 a.m.
New York time on the second Business Day immediately following any day on which a Credit Downgrade
has occurred, transfer to Collateral Agent, for deposit to the Collateral Account, Collateral with
a Market Value at least equal to the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares
as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such transfer (any such date,
a “Pledge Date”).

     (b) During any Pledge Period, any Collateral transferred by Borrower to Collateral Agent shall
be security for Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loaned Shares and for any other
obligations of Borrower to Lender hereunder.  Borrower on the Pledge Date pledges with, assigns to,
and grants Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lender a continuing first priority security interest
in, and a lien upon, the Collateral, which shall attach upon the transfer of the Loaned Shares by
Lender to Borrower and which shall cease upon the transfer of the Loaned Shares by Borrower to
Lender, a Credit Upgrade or upon the transfer of such Collateral to Borrower in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.  In addition to the rights and remedies given to Lender hereunder, Lender
shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under

6

 

the UCC.  To provide for the effectiveness, validity, perfection and priority of Lender’s
rights as a secured party, Borrower acknowledges that Collateral Agent has obtained control of any
financial assets included in the Collateral (or shall have obtained control upon posting of such
Collateral pursuant to the terms contained herein) within the meaning of Sections 8-106 and 9-106
of the UCC.  Collateral Agent acknowledges that it has control of the Collateral (or shall have
control upon posting of such collateral pursuant to the terms contained herein) on behalf of Lender
within the meaning of Section 8-106(d)(1) of the UCC.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, Lender may not use or invest the Collateral and Collateral Agent shall take no instruction
from Lender regarding the use or investment of Collateral.  Promptly upon the termination of any
Pledge Period, the Collateral Agent shall release to the Borrower all of the Collateral.

     (c) The Borrower further agrees that if so requested by the Collateral Agent at any time, to
promptly execute all documents (including any security agreements and transfers) and do all things
(including the delivery, transfer, assignment or payment of all or part of the Collateral to the
Collateral Agent or its nominee(s)) that the Collateral Agent may reasonably specify for the
purpose of (a) exercising the rights to the Collateral or (b) securing and perfecting its security
over or title to all or any part of the Collateral (including transferring the Collateral into the
name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee(s)).

     (d) Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the transfer to Lender of Loaned Shares pursuant
to Section 6, Collateral Agent shall release to Borrower Collateral with a Market Value equal to
the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares so transferred but only to the
extent that immediately following such transfer of Collateral, no Collateral Deficit would exist. 
Such transfer of Collateral shall be made no later than the Cutoff Time on the day the Loaned
Shares are transferred, or if such day is not a day on which a transfer of such Collateral may be
effected under Section 13, or if the transfer of Loaned Shares by Lender to Borrower occurs after
the Cutoff Time on such day, then in each case the next day on which such a transfer may be
effected.

     (e) If Borrower transfers Collateral to Collateral Agent, as provided in this Section 3, and
Lender does not transfer (or has not transferred) the Loaned Shares to Borrower, Borrower shall
have the absolute right to the return of the Collateral; and if Lender transfers Loaned Shares to
Borrower and Borrower does not transfer Collateral to Collateral Agent as provided in this
Section 3, Lender shall have the absolute right to the return of the Loaned Shares.

     (f) Borrower may, upon notice to Lender and Collateral Agent, substitute Collateral for
Collateral securing any Loan or Loans; provided that such substituted Collateral shall have a
Market Value such that the aggregate Market Value of such substituted Collateral, together with all
other Collateral, shall equal or exceed the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned
Shares as of the date of such substitution.

7

 

     Section 4. Mark to Market.

     (a) During any Pledge Period, if at the close of trading on any Business Day during the Loan
Availability Period the aggregate Market Value of all Collateral shall be less than the Collateral
Percentage of the Market Value of all the outstanding Loaned Shares (a “Collateral
Deficit”), Lender may, by notice to Borrower and Collateral Agent, demand that Borrower
transfer to Collateral Agent, for deposit to the Collateral Account, no later than the following
Business Day, additional Collateral so that the Market Value of such additional Collateral, when
added to the Market Value of all other Collateral, shall equal or exceed the Collateral Percentage
of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares on such Business Day of determination.

     (b) During any Pledge Period, if at the close of trading on any Business Day during the Loan
Availability Period the aggregate Market Value of all Collateral shall be greater than the
Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of all the outstanding Loaned Shares (a “Collateral
Excess”), Borrower may, by notice to Lender and Collateral Agent, demand that Collateral Agent
transfer to Borrower such amount of the Collateral selected by Borrower so that the Market Value of
the Collateral, after deduction of such amounts, shall thereupon be at least equal to the
Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares on such Business Day of
determination; provided however that with respect to clauses (a) and (b), the Collateral Agent will
promptly give Lender a statement setting forth the Market Value of all Collateral upon Lender’s
request and Lender shall have the right to audit the Market Value of all Collateral.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any outstanding Loans secured by
Collateral, the respective rights of Lender and Borrower under Section 4(a) and Section 4(b) may be
exercised only where a Collateral Excess or Collateral Deficit exceeds 5% of the Market Value of
the Loaned Shares.

     Section 5. Loan Fee.  Borrower agrees to pay Lender a single loan fee per Loan (a
“Loan Fee”) equal to $0.01 per Loaned Share.  The Loan Fee shall be paid by Borrower on or
before the time of a transfer of the Loaned Shares pursuant to Section 2(d) on a
delivery-versus-payment basis through the facilities of the Clearing Organization.

     Section 6. Loan Terminations.

     (a) Borrower may terminate all or any portion of a Loan on any Business Day by giving written
notice thereof to Lender and transferring the corresponding number of Loaned Shares to Lender,
without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower.

     (b) All outstanding Loans, if any, on the last day of the Loan Availability Period shall
terminate on the first Business Day following the last day of the Loan Availability Period (the
“Facility Termination Date”) and all outstanding Loaned Shares shall be delivered by
Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to
Borrower, no later than the fifth Business Day following the Facility Termination Date.

     (c) If on any date, the number of Loaned Shares exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, the
number of Loaned Shares in excess of the Maximum Number of Shares shall be delivered by Borrower to
Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by

8

 

Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day following such date (the “Delivery
Due Date”). If as a result of complying with this Section 6(c), Borrower Group would become a
Beneficial Owner of more than 9.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time, or an
Interested Stockholder of Lender, then Borrower shall be permitted to extend the Delivery Due Date
for all or a portion of the corresponding delivery obligation and in no event no longer than such
time to allow Borrower to return, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but subject to applicable
law, regulation or policy), such Loaned Shares, through one transaction or a series of
transactions, without causing Borrower Group to become, directly or indirectly a Beneficial Owner
of more than 9.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time, or an Interested
Stockholder of Lender.

     (d) If a Loan is terminated upon the occurrence of a Default as set forth in Section 11, the
Loaned Shares shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in
respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day following the
termination date of such Loan as provided in Section 11.

     Section 7. Distributions.

     (a) If at any time when there are Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement, Lender pays
a cash dividend or makes a cash distribution in respect of all of its outstanding Common Stock,
Borrower shall pay to Lender (whether or not Borrower is a holder of any or all of the outstanding
Loaned Shares), within one Business Day after the payment of such dividend or distribution, an
amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the amount per share of such dividend or distribution
and (ii) the number of Loaned Shares outstanding on the record date for such dividend or
distribution.

     (b) If at any time when there are Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement, Lender makes
a distribution in respect of all of its outstanding Common Stock in property or securities,
including any options, warrants, rights or privileges in respect of securities (other than a
distribution of Common Stock, but including any options, warrants, rights or privileges exercisable
for, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) (a “Non-Cash Distribution”),
Borrower shall deliver to Lender (whether or not Borrower is a holder of any or all of the
outstanding Loaned Shares) in kind, within one Business Day after the date of such Non-Cash
Distribution, the property or securities distributed in an amount equal to the product of (i) the
amount per share of Common Stock of such Non-Cash Distribution and (ii) the number of Loaned Shares
outstanding on the record date for such distribution.

     (c) Any interest, cash distribution or cash dividend made on or in respect of any Collateral
for any Loan hereunder, shall, subject to (e) below, be delivered by the Collateral Agent to
Borrower, on the date such interest, cash distribution or cash dividend is received by the
Collateral Agent.

     (d) Any non-cash distributions or dividend made on or in respect of any Collateral for any
Loan hereunder shall, subject to (e) below, be delivered by the Collateral Agent to Borrower on the
date such non-cash distribution or dividend is received by the Collateral Agent.

9

 

     (e) If the cash or other property received by the Collateral Agent under the provisions of
paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section 7 qualifies as Collateral, to the extent that a transfer of
such cash or other property to Borrower by the Collateral Agent would give rise to a Collateral
Deficit, the Collateral Agent shall (only to the extent of any such Collateral Deficit) not make
such transfer of cash or other property in accordance with this Section 7, but shall in lieu of
such transfer immediately credit the amounts that would otherwise have been transferable under this
Section 7 to the Collateral Account.

     Section 8. Rights in Respect of Loaned Shares. Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, Borrower, insofar as it is the record owner of Loaned Shares, shall have all of the
incidents of ownership in respect of any such Loaned Shares until such Loaned Shares are required
to be delivered to Lender in accordance with this Agreement including the right to transfer the
Loaned Shares to others. Borrower agrees that it or any of its Affiliates that are the record
owner of any Loaned Shares will not vote such Loaned Shares on any matter submitted to a vote of
Lender’s shareholders.

     Section 9. Representations and Warranties.

     (a) Each of Borrower and Lender represent and warrant to the other that:

     (i) it has full power to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into the
Loans contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder;

     (ii) it has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery
and performance;

     (iii) this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; and

     (iv) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not and
will not violate, contravene, or constitute a default under, (A) its certificate of
incorporation, bylaws or other governing documents, (B) any laws, rules or
regulations of any governmental authority to which it is subject, (C) any contracts,
agreements or instrument to which it is a party or (D) any judgment, injunction,
order or decree by which it is bound.

     (b) Lender represents and warrants to Borrower, as of the date hereof, and as of the date any
Loaned Shares are transferred to Borrower in respect of any Loan hereunder, that the Loaned Shares
and all other outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Lender have been duly authorized and, upon
the issuance and delivery of the Loaned Shares to Borrower in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof, and subject to the contemporaneous or prior receipt of the applicable Loan Fee
by Lender, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid nonassessible shares of Common
Stock; and the stockholders of Lender have no preemptive rights with respect to the Loaned Shares.

10

 

     (c) Lender represents and warrants to Borrower, as of the date hereof, and as of the date any
Loaned Shares are transferred to Borrower in respect of any Loan hereunder, that the outstanding
shares of Common Stock are listed on NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) and the Loaned Shares
have been approved for listing on NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance.

     (d) Lender represents and warrants to Borrower, as of the date any Loaned Shares are
transferred to Borrower in respect of any Loan hereunder, Lender is not “insolvent” (as such term
is defined under Section 101(32) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”)).

     (e) Lender represents to Borrower that for United States tax purposes it is a resident of the
United States.

     (f) The representations and warranties of Borrower and Lender under this Section 9 shall
remain in full force and effect at all times during the term of this Agreement and shall survive
the termination for any reason of this Agreement.

     Section 10. Covenants.

     (a) The parties hereto acknowledge that Borrower has informed Lender that Borrower is a
“financial institution” within the meaning of Section 101(22) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties
hereto further acknowledge and agree that (i) each Loan hereunder is intended to be a “securities
contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) each and every
transfer of funds, securities and other property under this Agreement is intended to be a
“settlement payment” or a “margin payment,” as such terms are used in Sections 362(b)(6) and
546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (iii) the rights given to Lender hereunder upon a Default by
Borrower are intended to constitute the rights to cause the liquidation of a securities contract
and to set off mutual debts and claims in connection with a securities contract, as such terms are
used in Sections 555 and 362(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

     (b) Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that insofar as it is the record owner of any
Loaned Shares, such Loaned Shares will be used, if at all, solely for the purpose of directly or
indirectly (y) facilitating the sale and the hedging of the Convertible Notes by the holders
thereof or, (z) with the prior written consent of the Lender, facilitating the sale and the hedging
of any additional convertible securities which the Lender may issue from time to time by the
holders thereof.

     (c) Lender shall, no later than five Business Days prior to any day on which Lender effects a
repurchase of Common Stock, give Borrower a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase
Notice”) if, following such repurchase, the Maximum Borrow Percentage (as defined below) after
giving effect to such repurchase would be greater by 0.5% than the Maximum Borrow Percentage
included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such
Repurchase Notice, greater than the Maximum Borrow Percentage as of the date hereof). The
“Maximum Borrow Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, the

11

 

numerator of which is the Maximum Number of Shares on such day, and the denominator of which
is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such day, including all outstanding Loaned
Shares.

     Section 11. Events of Default.

     (a) All Loans, and any further obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, may, at the
option of Lender by a written notice to Borrower (which option shall be deemed exercised, even if
no notice is given, immediately on the occurrence of an event specified in Section 11(a)(iv)
below), be terminated (i) immediately on the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section
11(a)(iv) below and (ii) two Business Days following such notice on the occurrence of any of the
other events set forth below, (each, a “Default”):

     (i) Borrower fails to deliver Loaned Shares to Lender as required by Section 6;

     (ii) Borrower fails to deliver or pay to Lender when due any cash, securities
or other property as required by Section 7;

     (iii) Borrower fails to transfer Collateral when due as required by Section 3
and Section 4;

     (iv) the occurrence of any of the following:

          (A) the Borrower is unable or admits its inability to pay its debts as they
fall due, suspends making payments (whether principal or interest) on any of its
debts or announces an intention to do so or, by reason of actual or anticipated
financial difficulties, commences negotiations with one or more of its creditors
with a view to rescheduling any of its indebtedness or is otherwise deemed unable to
pay its debts within the meaning of section 123(a), (b), or (2) of the Insolvency
Act 1986 (United Kingdom); and/or

          (B) any corporate action, legal proceedings or other procedure or step is taken
in relation to:

          (a) the suspension of its payments, a moratorium of any of its
indebtedness, its winding-up, its dissolution, its administration or
reorganization (by way of voluntary arrangement, scheme of
arrangement or otherwise) other than a solvent liquidation or
reorganization with another entity with which it forms a group or an
order is made or a resolution passed for its winding up;

          (b) a composition, compromise, assignment or arrangement with
any of its creditors;

12

 

          (c) the appointment of a liquidator, receiver, administrative
receiver administrator, compulsory manager or other similar officer
in respect of it or of its assets; or

          (d) enforcement of any security interests created over any of
its assets;

          or any analogous procedure or step is taken in respect of it in any jurisdiction;

     (v) Borrower fails to provide any indemnity as required by Section 14;

     (vi) Borrower notifies Lender of its inability to or intention not to perform
Borrower’s obligations hereunder or otherwise disaffirms, rejects or repudiates any
of its obligations hereunder; or

     (vii) Any representation made by Borrower under this Agreement in connection
with any Loan or Loans hereunder shall be incorrect or untrue in any material
respect during the term of any Loan hereunder or Borrower fails to comply in any
material respect with any of its covenants under this Agreement.

     Section 12. Lender’s Remedies.

     (a) Upon the termination of any Loan by Lender under Section 11, Borrower may, with the prior
written consent of Lender (which consent may be withheld at Lender’s sole discretion; provided
however that, Lender shall not withhold such request if Borrower as a result would unavoidably
become, directly or indirectly, a Beneficial Owner of more than 9.0% of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding at such time), in lieu of the delivery of Loaned Shares to Lender in accordance with
Section 6, pay to Lender, no later than one Business Day following notice of such Default to
Borrower, an amount in immediately available funds (the “Replacement Cash”) equal to the
product of the Closing Price as of the date of such notice of Default and the number of Loaned
Shares otherwise required to be delivered; provided that if Lender consents to the delivery of
Replacement Cash, Borrower may direct the Collateral Agent to deliver to Lender any Collateral held
by the Collateral Agent in respect of the Loan so terminated and, to the extent the Market Value of
any such Collateral delivered to Lender is less than the required amount of Replacement Cash, pay
to Lender such difference in immediately available funds. Any Collateral in respect of the Loan so
terminated that is not so delivered to Lender pursuant to this clause shall, upon payment in full
of the Replacement Cash to Lender, be immediately delivered by Collateral Agent to Borrower.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if on any date on which Borrower is
required to return Loaned Shares to Lender, the purchase of Common Stock in an amount equal to all
or any portion of the number of Loaned Shares to be delivered to Lender in accordance with Section
6 shall (A) be prohibited by any law, rules or regulation of any governmental authority to which it
is or would be subject, (B) violate, or would upon such purchase likely violate, any order or
prohibition of any court, tribunal or other governmental authority, (C) require the prior consent
of any court, tribunal or governmental authority prior to any such

13

 

repurchase, (D) subject Borrower, in the reasonable judgment of Borrower, to any liability or
potential liability under any applicable federal securities laws, or (E) be commercially
impracticable, in the reasonable judgment of Borrower, in the time period required by Section 6
(each of (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E), a “Redelivery Obstacle”), then, in each case, Borrower
shall immediately notify Lender of the Redelivery Obstacle and the basis therefor, whereupon
Borrower’s obligations under Section 6 as to such Loaned Shares shall be suspended until such time
as no Redelivery Obstacle with respect to such obligations shall exist (a “Redelivery
Suspension”). Following the occurrence of and during the continuation of any Redelivery
Suspension, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove or cure the Redelivery
Obstacle as promptly as reasonably practicable. If Borrower is unable to remove or cure the
Redelivery Obstacle within thirty Business Days of the date on which Borrower is required to return
Loaned Shares pursuant to Section 6, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in lieu of the delivery of
Loaned Shares in accordance with Section 6, Replacement Cash equal to the product of the Closing
Price as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date Borrower makes such payment and the
number of Loaned Shares otherwise required to be delivered. If Borrower does not pay such
Replacement Cash during any Pledge Period, Lender shall have the right, exercisable in it sole
discretion, to direct the Collateral Agent to, and the Collateral Agent upon receipt of the written
request of Lender (with a copy to Borrower) shall, release to Lender an amount of Collateral with a
Market Value equal to the Market Value of all (or such fewer number as Lender may specify) of the
Loaned Shares that are the subject of the Redelivery Suspension, whereupon the Borrower’s
obligation to return the specified number of Loaned Shares to the Lender shall be automatically
extinguished.

     (c) If Borrower shall fail to deliver Loaned Shares to Lender pursuant to Section 6 when due
or shall fail to pay the Replacement Cash to Lender when due in accordance with Section 12(a) or
(b) above (to the extent Borrower is permitted and elects to pay Replacement Cash), then, in either
case, in addition to any other remedies available to Lender under this Agreement or under
applicable law, Lender shall have the right (without further notice to Borrower) to (i) purchase a
like amount of Loaned Shares (“Replacement Shares”) in the principal market for such securities in
a commercially reasonable manner, (ii) sell any Collateral in the principal market for such
Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner and (iii) apply and set off the Collateral, if any,
and any proceeds thereof against the payment of the purchase price for such Replacement Shares and
any amount due to Lender hereunder; provided that Lender may not proceed under (ii) or (iii) until
20 days has elapsed since the failure to deliver such Loaned Shares or pay such Replacement Cash
and Borrower has not delivered such Loaned Shares or paid such Replacement Cash since such failure.
To the extent Lender shall exercise such right, Borrower’s obligation to return a like amount of
Loaned Shares or to pay the Replacement Cash, as applicable, shall terminate and Borrower shall be
liable to Lender for the purchase price of Replacement Shares (plus all other amounts, if any, due
to Lender hereunder). In the event that the purchase price of Replacement Shares (plus all other
amounts, if any, due to Lender hereunder) exceeds the amount of Collateral, if any, Borrower shall
be liable to Lender for the amount of such excess. The purchase price of Replacement Shares
purchased under this Section 12 shall include, and the proceeds of any sale of Collateral shall be
determined after deduction of, broker’s fees and commissions and all other reasonable costs, fees
and expenses related to

14

 

such purchase and sale. In the event Lender exercises its rights under this Section 12,
Lender may elect in its sole discretion, in lieu of purchasing all or a portion of the Replacement
Shares or selling all or a portion of the Collateral, to be deemed to have made such purchase of
Replacement Shares or sale of Collateral, as applicable, for an amount equal to the Closing Price
of the Common Stock on the date Lender elects to exercise this remedy. Upon the satisfaction of all
Borrower’s obligations hereunder, any remaining Collateral shall be returned to Borrower.

     Section 13. Transfers.

     (a) All transfers of Loaned Shares to Borrower or to Lender hereunder shall be made through
the Clearing Organization. All transfers of Collateral to the Collateral Agent by Borrower shall
be made by crediting the Collateral Account. All transfers of Collateral to Lender by the
Collateral Agent shall be made in the manner directed by Lender. In every transfer of “financial
assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC) hereunder, the transferor shall take all
steps necessary (a) to effect a delivery to the transferee under Section 8-301 of the UCC, or to
cause the creation of a security entitlement in favor of the transferee under Section 8-501 of the
UCC, (b) to enable the transferee to obtain “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the
UCC), and (c) to provide the transferee with comparable rights under any applicable foreign law or
regulation.

     (b) All transfers of cash hereunder to Borrower or Lender shall be by wire transfer in
immediately available, freely transferable funds.

     (c) A transfer of securities or cash may be effected under this Section 13 on any day except
(i) a day on which the transferee is closed for business at its address set forth in Section 18 or
(ii) a day on which the Clearing Organization or wire transfer system is closed, if the facilities
of the Clearing Organization or wire transfer system are required to effect such transfer.

     (d) The rights and duties of Borrower under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred
by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld; provided that Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or duties hereunder to
Borrower’s ultimate parent entity or any directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary or
Affiliate of Borrower’s ultimate parent entity (a “Permitted Transferee”) without the prior
written consent of Lender as long as such Permitted Transferee is of equal or better credit rating
as the borrower or is guaranteed by the Borrower or an entity of equal or better credit rating as
the Borrower.

     Section 14. Indemnities.

     (a) Lender hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Borrower and its Affiliates and its
former, present and future directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives from
and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages, fees, liens,
taxes, penalties, obligations and expenses incurred or suffered by any such person or entity
directly or indirectly arising from, by reason of, or in connection with, (i) any breach by Lender

15

 

of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 9 or (ii) any breach by
Lender of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

     (b) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its Affiliates and its
former, present and future directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives from
and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages, fees, liens,
taxes, penalties, obligations and expenses , including without limitation any of the foregoing
incurred pursuant to indemnification or other provisions of other agreements, incurred or suffered
by any such person or entity directly or indirectly arising from, by reason of, or in connection
with (i) any breach by Borrower of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 9
or (ii) any breach by Borrower of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

     (c) In case any claim or litigation which might give rise to any obligation of a party under
this Section 14 (each an “Indemnifying Party”) shall come to the attention of the party
seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall
promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the existence and amount thereof; provided
that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not adversely affect the right
of the Indemnified Party to indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent the
Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly notify
the Indemnified Party in writing if it accepts such claim or litigation as being within its
indemnification obligations under this Section 14. Such response shall be delivered no later than
30 days after the initial notification from the Indemnified Party; provided that, if the
Indemnifying Party reasonably cannot respond to such notice within 30 days, the Indemnifying Party
shall respond to the Indemnified Party as soon thereafter as reasonably possible.

     (d) An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, if (i) in the judgment of
the Indemnified Party such claim can properly be resolved by money damages alone and the
Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to pay such damages and (ii) the Indemnifying Party
admits that this indemnity fully covers the claim or litigation, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to direct the defense of any claim at its expense, but such defense shall be conducted by
legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party shall not
make any settlement of any claim or litigation under this Section 14 without the written consent of
the Indemnifying Party.

     Section 15. Termination of Agreement.

     (a) This Agreement may be terminated (i) at any time by the written agreement of Lender and
Borrower, (ii) by Lender upon the occurrence of a Default or (iii) upon the earlier of (A) June 15,
2013 and (B) the date on which the Lender has notified the Borrower in writing of its intention to
terminate this Agreement at any time after the latest of (y) the date on which the entire principal
amount of Convertible Notes ceases to be outstanding and (z) the date on which the entire principal
amount of any additional convertible securities of the Lender which the Lender has in writing
consented to permit the Borrower to hedge under this Agreement ceases to

16

 

be outstanding, in each case, whether as a result of conversion, redemption, repurchase,
cancellation or otherwise.

     (b) Unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender, the provisions of Section 14 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.

     Section 16. Registration Provisions. If, following the initial Loan hereunder and
registration of the initial Loaned Shares in respect of such Loan, any subsequent Loan and public
sale of the Loaned Shares in respect of such subsequent Loan, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
to Borrower, would require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Lender shall
register such sale in a form and manner reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, and shall enter into
an underwriting agreement substantially in the form of the Underwriting Agreement dated as of June
18, 2008 relating to the issuance and sale of such initial Loaned Shares and shall afford Borrower
and its representatives and agents an opportunity to conduct an appropriate “due diligence”
investigation to Borrower’s reasonable satisfaction, all at the expense of Lender. In no event
shall this Section 16 require Lender to register shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum
Number of Shares.

     Section 17. Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
Borrower may, by prior notice to Lender, satisfy its obligation to deliver any shares of Common
Stock on any date due under the terms of this Agreement (an “Original Delivery Date”) by
making separate deliveries of shares of Common Stock at more than one time on or prior to such
Original Delivery Date, so long as the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock so delivered on
or prior to such Original Delivery Date is equal to the number required to be delivered on such
Original Delivery Date.

laws of a jurisdiction other than New York.

     (b) EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY, AND ANY

     Section 20. Designation of Replacement Collateral Agent. If at any time while this
Agreement is in effect (i) Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC ceases to be a securities
intermediary or (ii) Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion, that any of the relationships
by or among the parties hereto are reasonably likely to prevent Lender from acquiring, or
jeopardize the continuation and enforceability of, Lender’s continuing first priority security
interest in the Collateral as contemplated under Section 3(b), Lender shall be entitled to
designate a bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to Borrower as a successor Collateral
Agent. In the event of a designation of a successor Collateral Agent, each of the parties to this
Agreement agrees to take all such actions as are reasonably necessary to effect the transfer of
rights and obligations of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC as Collateral Agent hereunder to such
successor Collateral Agent, including the execution and delivery of amendments to this Agreement as
shall be necessary to effect such designation and transfer.

     Section 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the
same agreement.
