RECITALS OF THE COMPANY
The Company has heretofore executed and delivered an Indenture, dated as of December 11, 2002
(the “Indenture”), to the Trustee providing for the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of
$460,000,000 of its 1 5/8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009 (the “Securities”).
The Company has authorized the Indenture to be amended for the purpose of clarifying that any
of the Securities surrendered by the Holder thereof for conversion under the Indenture after the
close of business on December 1, 2009 are not required to be accompanied by payment of an amount
equal to the interest otherwise payable on the date on which the principal of the Securities
becomes due and payable as therein provided.
The Company desires to amend the Indenture for the purpose set forth above in accordance with
Section 9.01(viii) of the Indenture, which provides that the Company, when authorized by a Board
Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more
indentures supplemental to the Indenture, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any purpose that
does not adversely affect in any material respect the rights of any Holder, and pursuant to Section
9.03 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver any such indentures
supplemental, including this First Supplemental Indenture.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Trustee agree as follows:
