of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, or as may be required by the Depositary, as may be required

Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of Outstanding Notes
represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee,
in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with this
Sixth Supplemental Indenture. Payment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest on a Global
Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note on the date of payment, unless a Record Date or other
means of determining Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.
The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto are
incorporated herein and shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Sixth
Supplemental Indenture and to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their

Manhattan, City of New York or the City of Boston, which shall initially be an office or agency of
the Trustee. The Company shall pay interest (i) on any Notes in certificated form by check mailed

this Section 2.06, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.
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 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes
which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not
contemporaneously outstanding.
All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or
conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar or any
co-registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Noteholder thereof or his
attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
10
No service charge shall be charged to the Noteholder for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Notes, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection therewith.
None of the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar or any co-registrar shall be required
to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of
any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion or (b) any
Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with
Article IX hereof.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with
this Sixth Supplemental Indenture shall be the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company,
evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Sixth Supplemental Indenture
as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(b) Intentionally Omitted.
(c) Intentionally Omitted.
(d) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this instrument or under applicable law
with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and
when expressly required by, the terms of this instrument, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
(e) 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, which 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 Sixth Supplemental Indenture (including the restrictions on
transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.
Section 2.07 Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, without the consent of the
Noteholders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, 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 may be issued unless fungible with the Notes initially
issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company may also from time to time
repurchase the Notes in open market purchases by tender at any price or by private agreement
without prior notice to Noteholders.
Section 2.08 No Sinking Fund. The provisions of Article Twelve of the Base Indenture shall
not be applicable to the Notes. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
11
Section 2.09 Ranking. The Notes constitute a senior general obligation of the Company,
ranking equally with other existing and future senior and unsubordinated indebtedness of the
Company and ranking senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of the Company that is
expressly made subordinate to the Notes by the terms of such indebtedness.
ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION
Section 3.01 Right to Redeem.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Base Indenture, as modified by this Sixth
Supplemental Indenture, to the contrary, the Company may redeem the Notes prior to May 15, 2038, in
whole, in order to preserve the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code.

20, 2013. On or after May 20, 2013, the Company, at its option, may redeem the Notes from time to
time in whole or in part.
(c) Any redemption of Notes shall be at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest; provided, however, that the
Company may deduct and withhold from such Redemption Price any amount required to be deducted and
withheld under applicable law.
Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to be Redeemed.
(a) The provisions of Section 1103 of the Base Indenture shall govern the selection of Notes
to be redeemed by the Trustee provided, however, that if less than all of the Notes are to be
redeemed, the Trustee shall make the selection from the Notes of that series Outstanding and not
previously called for redemption, by lot, or in its discretion, on a pro rata basis..
(b) If any Note selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the
conversion right with respect to the portion of the Note so selected, the converted portion of such
Note shall be deemed to be part of the portion selected for redemption. Notes which have been
converted subsequent to the Trustee commencing selection of Notes to
be redeemed but prior to redemption of such Notes shall be treated by the Trustee as
Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.
Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. The provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture shall
govern notices of redemption of the Notes; provided, however, that in addition to the information
specified in Section 1104 of the Base Indenture, notices of redemption of the Notes shall also
state:
(a) the then-current Conversion Price;
12
(b) the name and address of the Conversion Agent;
(c) that Holders who wish to convert Notes must surrender such Notes for conversion no later
than the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date and
must satisfy the other requirements set forth herein; and
(d) whether the Company will satisfy its Conversion Obligation with respect to any Notes
called for redemption that are surrendered for conversion in cash, Common Shares or both as
provided herein; provided that the Company may not provide notice of a redemption of Notes at the
Company’s option that specifies that the Company will settle conversions of Notes prior to such
redemption in cash and Common Shares unless, at the time of such notice, the Company has available
to it a sufficient number of authorized Common Shares to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in
respect of the Notes to be redeemed.
ARTICLE IV
PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
Section 4.01 Payment of Principal and Interest.
(a) Sections 307 and 1001 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes; provided, however,
that, with respect to any Noteholder with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $1,000,000, at
the application of such Holder in writing to the Security Registrar not later than the relevant
record date, accrued and unpaid interest on such Holder’s Notes shall be paid by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to such Holder’s account in the United States supplied by such Holder
from time to time to the Trustee and Paying Agent (if different from Trustee); provided further
that payment of accrued and unpaid interest made to the Depositary shall be paid by wire transfer

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.01(b), a Holder of any Notes at the close
of business on a Record Date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Notes on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date. A Holder of any Notes as of a Record Date that are converted
after the close of business on such Record Date and prior to the opening of
business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive interest on
the principal amount of such Notes, notwithstanding the conversion of such Notes prior to such
Interest Payment Date. However, a Holder that surrenders any Notes for conversion between the
close of business on a Record Date and the opening of business on the corresponding Interest
Payment Date shall be required to pay the Company an amount equal to the interest payable by the
Company with respect to such Notes on such Interest Payment Date at the time such Holder surrenders
such Notes for conversion, provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to a Holder that
converts Notes:
(i) in respect of which the Company has given notice of redemption pursuant to Section
3.03 on a Redemption Date that is after the relevant Record Date and on or prior to the
relevant Interest Payment Date; or
13
(ii) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time
of conversion with respect to such Notes;
(iii) in connection with a Fundamental Change in which the Company has specified a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the next
Interest Payment Date; or
(iv) after 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Record Date immediately preceding the
Maturity Date.
Accordingly, a Holder that converts Notes under any of the circumstances described in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv) above will not be required to pay to the Company an amount equal to the
interest payable by the Company with respect to such Notes on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency for Conversion Agent. If at any time the
Conversion Agent is not the Trustee or an office or agency designated or appointed by the Trustee,
the Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location of such Conversion
Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain an office or agency for the Conversion
Agent, presentations, surrenders, notices and demands related to conversions of Notes may be made
or served at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency of the Trustee in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York or in the City of Boston.

CONVERSION OF NOTES
Section 8.01 Conversion Privilege.
(a) Subject to the conditions described in clauses (b) through (f) below and to Section 8.11
hereof, and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article VIII, a Holder of Notes 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 Note at any time prior to the
close of business on the scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding February 15, 2013 at a rate
(the “Conversion Rate”) of 13.1203 Common Shares (subject to adjustment by the Company as provided
in Section 8.04) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Conversion Obligation”) under the
circumstances and during the periods set forth below. On and after February 15, 2013, regardless of
the conditions described in clause (b) through (f) below, upon compliance with the provisions of
this Article VIII and subject to Section 8.11 hereof, a 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 Note at any time prior to the close of business on
the scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at a Conversion Rate of 13.1203
Common Shares (subject to adjustment by the Company as provided in Section 8.04) per $1,000
principal amount of Notes.
(b) (1) A Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert its Notes
prior to February 15, 2013, during the five Business Day period immediately after any ten
consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000
principal amount of Notes for each day of such Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product
of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Shares on such date and the Conversion Rate on such
date, all as determined by the Trustee in the manner described in the immediately succeeding
paragraph. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless
requested by the Company to do so in writing, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such
request unless a Noteholder or Noteholders of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
Notes provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal
amount of the Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price at such
time and the then-
16
applicable Conversion Rate, at which time the Company shall select three
independent nationally recognized securities dealers (each, an “Independent Securities Dealer”),
request that the Independent Securities Dealers provide a secondary market quotation for the Notes
and provide such determination to the Company and the Trustee in writing, and the Company shall
instruct the Independent Securities Dealers to provide a secondary market quotation for the Notes
beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per
$1,000 principal amount of the Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last
Reported Sale Price on such date and the then-applicable Conversion Rate. If the Trading Price
condition set forth above has been met, the Company shall so notify the Noteholders. If at any
time after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000
principal amount of Notes is greater than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price on
such date and the then-applicable Conversion Rate, the Company shall so notify the Noteholders.
(2) Any request by the Company to the Trustee for a determination of the Trading Price and
whether the Trading Price condition set forth in the first sentence of the immediately preceding
paragraph has been met shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate setting forth, for each day
of determination (as identified in such Certificate), the name of the Independent Securities
Dealers providing the secondary market bid quotations, a statement certifying that that such
dealers are “Independent Securities Dealers” as required in this Section 8.01, the secondary
market bid quotations obtained from such Independent Securities Dealers (a copy of which will be
attached to such Officers’ Certificate), the Company’s calculation of the Trading Price for such
date. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely, without independent verification, on the
quotations provided by the Company in making its determinations hereunder. On the basis of such
quotations, the Trustee shall determine the Trading Price of the Notes, and provide such
determination to the Company. Absent manifest error, the Trustee’s determination of the Trading
Price will be binding on the Company. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall
have received a request from the Company for determination of the Trading Price for the Notes and
the Officers’ Certificate contemplated herein, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any
determination of the Trading Price of the Notes or whether the Trading Price condition has been
met.
(c) A Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert Notes during
any calendar quarter after the quarter ended June 30, 2008, and only during such calendar quarter,
if the Last Reported Sale Price for the Common Shares for at least 20
Trading Days during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day
of the previous calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Trigger
Price”) on such last Trading Day, which Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment in
accordance with this Article VIII. The Conversion Agent shall, on the Company’s behalf, determine
at the beginning of each calendar quarter whether the Notes are convertible as a result of the
price of Common Shares as contemplated in the previous sentence and notify the Company and the
Trustee.
(d) In the event that the Company has delivered a notice of redemption in accordance with
Section 1104 of the Base Indenture and Section 3.03 of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture to the
Holders of Notes, a Holder of Notes may convert Notes at any time prior to the close of business on
the second Business Day immediately preceding the
17
corresponding Redemption Date; provided, however,
that a Holder who has already delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a
Note may not convert such Note until the Holder has withdrawn the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Notice in accordance with the terms of the Note and this Sixth Supplemental Indenture.
(e) (i) In the event that the Company elects to:
(A) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Shares
rights entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 60 days,
Common Shares at a price less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the
Common Shares for the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration
date of such distribution; or
(B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common
Shares, assets or debt securities of the Company or rights to purchase
the Company’s securities, which distribution has a per share value (as
determined by the Board of Trustees) exceeding 15% of the Last Reported
Sale Price of the Common Shares on the day immediately preceding the
date of declaration of such distribution,
then, in either case, Holders may surrender the Notes for conversion at any time on and after the
date that the Company provides notice to Holders referred to in the next sentence until the earlier
of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such
distribution or the date the Company announces that such distribution will not take place. The
Company shall notify Holders of any distribution referred to in either clause (A) or clause (B)
above and of the resulting conversion right no later than the 35th Business Day prior to the
Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
(ii) If the Company is a party to any transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental
Change, a Holder may surrender Notes for conversion at any time from and after the 30th scheduled
Trading Day prior to the anticipated Effective Date of such transaction or event until the related
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and, upon such surrender, the Holder shall be entitled to the
increase in the Conversion Rate, if any, specified in Section 8.01(g). The Company shall give
notice to all record Noteholders and the Trustee and
issue a press release of the Fundamental Change no later than 30 scheduled Trading Days prior
to the anticipated effective date of the Fundamental Change.
(iii) If the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale or
conveyance of all or substantially all of its properties and assets, in each case pursuant to which
the Common Shares would be converted into cash, securities and/or other property, then the Holders
shall have the right to convert Notes at any time beginning fifteen calendar days prior to the date
announced by the Company as the anticipated effective date of the transaction and until and
including the date that is fifteen calendar days after the date that is the effective date of such
transaction; provided such transaction does not otherwise constitute a Fundamental Change to which
the provisions of Section 8.01(e)(ii) shall apply. The Company shall give notice to all record
Noteholders and the Trustee and issue a press release at least 20
18
calendar days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction. If the Board of Trustees determines the
anticipated effective date of the transaction, such determination shall be conclusive and binding
on the Holders.
(f) The Notes shall be convertible at any time beginning on the first Business Day after any
30 consecutive Trading Day period during which Common Shares are not listed on either a U.S.
national securities exchange.
(g) (1) If a Noteholder elects to convert Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change that
occurs prior to May 20, 2013, the Conversion Rate applicable to each $1,000 principal amount of
Notes so converted shall be increased by an additional number of Common Shares (the “Additional
Shares”) as described below. Settlement of Notes tendered for conversion to which Additional
Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate as provided in this subsection shall be settled
pursuant to Section 8.02 below, as applicable. For purposes of this Section 8.01(g), a conversion
shall be deemed to be “in connection with” a Fundamental Change to the extent that the related
conversion notice is delivered during the time period beginning on the 30th Trading Day prior to
the anticipated Effective Date of such Fundamental Change and ending on the related Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date, inclusive (regardless of whether the provisions of clauses (b), (c), (d),
(e) or (f) of this Section 8.01 shall apply to such conversion). Such conversion notice shall
indicate that the Holder of Notes has elected to convert Notes in connection with a Fundamental
Change; provided, however, that the failure to so indicate shall not in any way affect the
Conversion Obligation or the right of such Holder to receive Additional Shares in connection with
such conversion.
(i) The number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased
shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the
date on which the Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), and
the Stock Price; provided, that if the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in the
table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of
Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of
Additional Shares set forth for the next higher and next lower Stock Price amounts and the
two nearest Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; provided further that
if (1) the Stock Price is greater than $120.00 per Common Share (subject to adjustment in
the same manner as set forth in Section 8.04), no Additional Shares will be added to the
Conversion Rate, and (2) the
Stock Price is less than $62.86 per Common Share (subject to adjustment in the same
manner as set forth in Section 8.04), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion
Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of Common Shares
issuable upon conversion exceed 15.9083 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to
adjustment in the same manner as set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of Section 8.04).
(ii) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Schedule A hereto
shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted. The
adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such
adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate in
effect immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock
19
Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares
within the table shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in
Section 8.04 (other than by operation of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate by adding
Additional Shares).
Section 8.02 Conversion Procedures.
(a) (1) The Company shall settle its Conversion Obligations as described in Section
8.02(a)(3), unless, within the applicable time period specified in this Section 8.02(a)(1), the
Company elects to settle its conversion Obligations as described in Section 8.02(a)(2) or Section
8.02(a)(4). The cash and/or Common Shares which the Company is required to deliver in accordance
with this Section 8.02 in settlement of its Conversion Obligations is referred to herein as the
“Settlement Amount.” If the Company desires to settle its Conversion Obligations as described in
Section 8.02(a)(2) or Section 8.02(a)(4), the Company shall notify each converting Noteholder by
notice to the Trustee (for further distribution to Noteholders) of the method the Company will
choose to satisfy its Conversion Obligations no later than the second Trading Day immediately
following the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Conversion from such Holder, and such notice shall
specify the section of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which the Company is electing
to satisfy its conversion obligations; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to
irrevocably elect, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Noteholders, by notice to the
Trustee (for further distribution to Noteholders), on or prior to February 15, 2013, to settle all
of its future Conversion Obligations entirely in Common Shares as described in Section 8.02(a)(2),
and provided further, that the Company is required to settle all conversions with a Conversion Date
occurring on or after February 15, 2013 in the same manner, and the Company shall notify
Noteholders by notice to the Trustee (for further distribution to Noteholders) of the manner of
settlement (including specifying the applicable section of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture that
describes such manner of settlement) on or before such date. The Company shall treat all
Noteholders converting on the same Trading Day in the same manner; however, the Company shall not
have any obligation to settle its Conversion Obligations arising on different Trading Days in the
same manner, except for conversions with a Conversion Date occurring on or after February 15, 2013,
which shall all be satisfied in the same manner.
(2) If the Company has elected, within the applicable time periods specified in Section
8.02(a)(1), to settle its Conversion Obligations as described in this Section
8.02(a)(2), the Company shall have the right to settle its conversion obligations entirely in
Common Shares. If the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation entirely in Common
Shares, the Company shall deliver a number of Common Shares equal to (i) the aggregate principal
amount of Notes to be converted divided by $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the applicable Conversion
Rate (which shall include any increases to reflect any Additional Shares that such Holder is
entitled to receive pursuant to Section 8.01(g) above). The Company shall deliver such Common
Shares as soon as practicable after it has notified the converting Holder pursuant to Section
8.02(a)(1) above, that it has elected to satisfy its Conversion Obligation entirely in Common
Shares.
(3) If the Company does not elect, within the applicable time periods specified in Section
8.02(a)(1), to settle its conversion obligations as described in
20
Section 8.02(a)(2) or 8.02(a)(4),
the Company shall settle its Conversion Obligations as described in this Section 8.02(a)(3),
subject to Section 8.02(b) hereof. The Company shall deliver in respect of each $1,000 principal
amount of Notes being converted a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement
Amounts for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the Observation Period, on the third
Trading Day immediately following the last day of the related Observation Period; provided that the
Company will deliver cash in lieu of fractional Common Shares as set forth pursuant to clause (k)
below. The Daily Settlement Amounts shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last
day of the Observation Period.
(4) If the Company has elected, within the applicable time periods specified in Section
8.02(a)(1), to settle its Conversion Obligations as described in this Section 8.02(a)(4), the
Company shall have the right to settle all or a portion of the amount by which the Daily Conversion
Value exceeds $50 in cash in accordance with this Section 8.02(a)(4). In such case, the Company
shall specify a percentage of the amount by which the Daily Conversion Value exceeds $50 that will
be settled in cash, or the “cash percentage.” The Company will inform converting Holders by notice
to the Trustee (for further distribution to Noteholders) no later than two Trading Days prior to
the first day of the applicable Observation Period if it elects to pay cash upon conversion of the
Notes and shall specify in such notice (the “cash percentage notice”) the applicable cash
percentage. If the Company elects to specify a cash percentage, the amount of cash that the
Company shall deliver in respect of each Trading Day in the applicable Observation Period shall
equal the product of (w) the cash percentage and (x) the amount by which the Daily Conversion Value
exceeds $50 for such Trading Day. The number of Common Shares deliverable in respect of each
Trading Day in the applicable Observation Period shall equal (i) the product of (y) 100% minus the
cash percentage and (z) the amount by which the Daily Conversion Value exceeds $50 for such Trading
Day, divided by (ii) the Daily VWAP of the Common Shares for such Trading Day. If the Company does
not specify a cash percentage, it must settle the entire amount by which the Daily Conversion Value
exceeds $50 with Common Shares pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(3) above; provided, however, that the
Company will deliver cash in lieu of fractional Common Shares as set forth pursuant to clause (k)
below. If the Company specifies a cash percentage, the Company shall satisfy its Conversion
Obligation by delivering, on the third Trading Day immediately following the last day of the
related Observation Period, the amount of cash and the number of Common Shares deliverable pursuant
to this Section 8.02(a)(4).
(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.02(a), the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation with
respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered for conversion to which Additional Shares
shall be added to the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 8.01(g) pursuant to this clause (b).
(A) If the last day of the applicable Observation Period related to
Notes surrendered for conversion is prior to the third Trading Day
preceding the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change, the Company will
satisfy the related Conversion Obligation with respect to each $1,000
principal amount of Notes tendered for conversion as described in
Section 8.01(a) by delivering the amount of cash and Common Shares, if
any (based on the
21
Conversion Rate, but without regard to the number of
Additional Shares to be added to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section
8.01(g)) on the third Trading Day immediately following the last day of
the applicable Observation Period. In addition, as soon as practicable
following the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change, the Company will
deliver the increase in such amount of cash and Reference Property
deliverable in lieu of Common Shares, if any, as if the Conversion Rate
had been increased by such number of Additional Shares during the
related Observation Period (and based upon the related Daily VWAP prices
during such Observation Period). If such increased amount of cash and
Common Shares, if any, results in an increase to the amount of cash to
be paid to Holders, the Company will pay such increase in cash, and if
such increased amount results in an increase to the number of Common
Shares, the Company will deliver such increase by delivering Reference
Property based on such increased number of shares.
(B) If the last day of the applicable Observation Period related to
Notes surrendered for conversion is on or following the third scheduled
Trading Day preceding the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change, the
Company will satisfy the Conversion Obligation with respect to each
$1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered for conversion as described in
Section 8.01(a) (based on the Conversion Rate as increased by the
Additional Shares pursuant to Section 8.01(g) above) on the later to
occur of (x) the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change and (y) the
third Trading Day immediately following the last day of the applicable
Observation Period.
(c) Before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert the same as set forth above, such
Holder shall (1) 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 4.01(b) and Section
8.02(i) and, if required, pay all taxes or duties, if any, and (2) in the case of a Note issued in
certificated form, (A) complete and manually sign and deliver an irrevocable written notice to the
Conversion Agent in the form on the reverse of such certificated Note (or a
facsimile thereof) (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 any Common Shares, if
any, to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (B) surrender
such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement
and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (C) 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 4.01(b) and Section 8.02(i), and (D) if required, pay all taxes or duties, if any.
A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the
date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in this
Section 8.02(c).
22
No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be tendered by a Holder thereof if such
Holder has also tendered a Put Right Repurchase Notice or a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
and not validly withdrawn such Put Right Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 9.01 or 9.02, as the case may be.
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.
(d) Delivery of the amounts owing 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), except to the extent
specified in Section 8.02(b). The Company shall make such delivery by paying the cash amount owed
to the Conversion Agent or to the Holder of the Note surrendered for conversion, or such Holder’s
nominee or nominees, and 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 Common Shares to which such Holder shall be
entitled as part of such Conversion Obligation (together with any cash in lieu of fractional
shares).
(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 Notes.
(f) If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay all stamp and other
duties, if any, which may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or
taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of Common Shares, if any, upon the
conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax that is due because the Holder requests any
Common Shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse
to deliver the certificates representing the Common Shares being issued in a name other than the
Holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because
the shares are to be issued in a name other
than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or
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.
23
(i) Upon conversion, a Noteholder will not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and
unpaid interest, except as set forth below. The Company’s settlement of its Conversion Obligation
as described above shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of the
Note and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Conversion Date. As a result,
accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid
in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Record Date, Holders of such Notes as of
the close of business on the Record Date will receive the interest payable on such Notes on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for
conversion during the period from the close of business on any regular Record Date to the opening
of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount
equal to the interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided, however, that no such payment
need be made (1) if the Company has called the Notes for redemption or (2) to the extent of any
overdue interest existing at the time of conversion with respect to such Note, (3) to Notes
surrendered for conversion in connection with a Fundamental Change in which the Company has
specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the
next Interest Payment Date, or (4) to Notes surrendered for conversion after 5:00 p.m., New York
City time on the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Except as described above,
no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on converted Notes.
(j) The Person in whose name the certificate for any Common Shares issued upon conversion is
registered shall be treated as a shareholder of record on and after the Conversion Date; provided,
however, that no surrender of Notes on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall
be closed shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common
Shares upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares on such date, but
such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such
Common Shares as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on
the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; such conversion shall be at
the Conversion Rate in effect on the date that such Notes shall have been surrendered for
conversion, as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion of
Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Noteholder.
(k) No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon conversion of any Note or Notes. 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. Instead of
any fractional Common Share 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) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the
Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Shares on the last day of the applicable Observation Period.

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 Common Shares as a dividend or distribution to holders of
the outstanding Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision into a greater number of Common Shares
or combination into a lesser number of Common Shares, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based
on the following formula:
CR’ = CR0 | x | OS’OS0 |
where
CR0
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be; |
CR’
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect as of the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be; |
OS0
|
= | the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event; and |
OS’
|
= | the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day following the record date fixed for such determination. If any dividend or
distribution of the type described in this Section 8.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or
the outstanding Common Shares are not subdivided or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion
Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Trustees determines not
to pay such dividend or distribution, or subdivide or combine the outstanding
Common Shares, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such
dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination had not been declared.
(b) In case the Company shall issue to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding
Common Shares any rights, warrants or convertible securities entitling them (for a period expiring
within sixty (60) calendar days after the issuance thereof) to subscribe for or purchase Common
Shares at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Shares on the
Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate
shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
25
CR’ = CR0 | x | OS0 + X OS0 + Y |
where
CR0
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution; |
CR’
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect as of the Ex-Date for such distribution; |
OS0
|
= | the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event; |
X
|
= | the total number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants or convertible securities; and |
Y
|
= | the number of Common Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants or convertible securities divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Common Share over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the record date (or, if later, the Ex-Date relating to such distribution) for the issuance of such rights, warrants or convertible securities. |
Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights, warrants or convertible
securities are issued and shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the Business Day following the date fixed for such determination. If such rights, warrants or
convertible securities are not so exercised prior to their expiration, the Conversion Rate shall
again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such record date for
such distribution had not been fixed.
In determining whether any rights, warrants or convertible securities entitle the holder
thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share less than the Last Reported
Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement
of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Shares, there
shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, warrants or
convertible securities and any amount payable on exercise or
conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by
the Board of Trustees.
(c) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common
Shares shares of beneficial interest, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of
the Company (including securities, but excluding dividends and distributions covered by Section
8.04(a), Section 8.04(b) or Section 8.04(d) and distributions described below in this paragraph (c)
with respect to Spin-Offs) (any of such shares of beneficial interest, indebtedness, or other asset
or property hereinafter in this Section 8.04(c) called the
26
“Distributed Property”), then, in each
such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR’ = CR0 | x | XX0 XX0 — FMV |
where
CR0
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution; |
CR’
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect as of the Ex-Date for such distribution; |
SP0
|
= | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution (or, if earlier, the Ex-Date relating to such distribution); and |
FMV
|
= | the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Trustees) of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Shares on the record date for such distribution (or, if earlier, the Ex-Date relating to such distribution). |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive
such distribution; provided that if the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of
the Distributed Property so distributed applicable to one Common Share 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, 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 Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date. 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. If the Board of Trustees determines the fair market value of any
distribution 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 determining SP0 above.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8.04(c) where there has been a payment
of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Shares in shares of beneficial interest any class
or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (a
“Spin-Off”), unless the Company distributes such shares of beneficial interest or equity interests
to each Noteholder on the same basis as such Noteholder would have received
27
had it converted its Notes solely into Common Shares immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, the Conversion
Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date fixed for
determination of shareholders entitled to receive the distribution will be increased based on the
following formula:
CR’ = CR0 | x | FMV0 + MP0 MP0 |
where
CR0
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such distribution; |
CR’
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such distribution; |
FMV0
|
= | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the shares of beneficial interest or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Shares applicable to one Common Share over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after the effective date of the Spin-Off; and |
MP0
|
= | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Shares over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after the effective date of the Spin-Off. |
Such adjustment shall occur on the tenth Trading Day from, and including, the effective date of the
Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the ten Trading Days following any
Spin-Off, references within this paragraph (c) to ten days shall be deemed replaced with such
lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in
determining the applicable Conversion Rate.
Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Shares, entitling the
holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (either initially or under certain
circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events
(“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Common Shares; (ii) are not
exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Shares, shall be
deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 8.04 (and no adjustment to the
Conversion Rate under this Section 8.04 will be required) until the occurrence of the
earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been
distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made
under this Section 8.04(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or
warrants distributed prior to the date of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events,
upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different
securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and
each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new
rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing
28
rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any
distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event
(of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for
purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under
this Section 8.04 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been
redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be
readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger
Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption
or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Shares with respect to such rights or
warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common
Shares as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or
warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of this Section 8.04(c), Section 8.04(a) and Section 8.04(b), any dividend or
distribution to which this Section 8.04(c) is applicable that also includes Common Shares to which
Section 8.04(a) applies or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares to which
Section 8.04(a) or Section 8.04(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend
or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of Capital Stock other than such
Common Shares or rights or warrants to which Section 8.04(c) applies (and any Conversion Rate
adjustment required by this Section 8.04(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall
then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such Common Shares or such
rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 8.04(a) and
Section 8.04(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the
record date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the record date” and “the
date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 8.04(a) and Section 8.04(b) and
(B) any Common Shares included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding
immediately prior to such event” within the meaning of Section 8.04(a).
(d) In case the Company shall pay a dividend or make a distribution consisting exclusively of
cash to all or substantially all holders of its Common Shares to the extent that the aggregate of
all such cash dividends or distributions paid in any quarter exceeds the Dividend Threshold Amount
for such quarter, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
29
CR’ = CR0 | x | SP0 - T SP0 - C |
where
CR0
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution; |
CR’
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect as of the Ex-Date for such distribution; |
SP0
|
= | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares over the period of ten consecutive Trading Days ending the Business Day immediately preceding the record date (as defined in clause (f) of this Section) for such distribution (or, if earlier, the Ex-Date relating to such distribution); |
T
|
= | the dividend threshold amount (“Dividend Threshold Amount”), which amount shall initially be $0.5175 per quarter and which shall be appropriately adjusted from time to time for any share dividends on, or subdivisions or combinations of, Common Shares; provided, that if a Conversion Rate adjustment is required to be made as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly dividend either in whole or in part, the Dividend Threshold Amount shall be deemed to be zero; and |
C
|
= | the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of Common Shares. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
record date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the portion of the cash so
distributed applicable to one Common Share is equal to or greater than SP0 above, in
lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall
have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash
such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of shares equal to the Conversion
Rate on the record date. 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 Shares, as a result of which the Notes become convertible into more
than one class of Common Shares, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to
this Section 8.04(d), references in this Section to one Common Share or Last Reported Sale Price of
one Common Share shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price of a unit consisting of the
number of shares of each class of Common Shares into which the Notes are then convertible equal to
the number of shares of such class issued in respect of one Common
30
Share in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply
to successive reclassifications.
(e) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender
offer or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Common Shares, to the extent that the cash
and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Common Share exceeds the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which
tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended),
the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR’ = CR0 | x | AC + (SP’ x OS’) SP’ x OS0 |
where
CR0
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect on the date such tender or exchange offer expires; |
CR’
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect on the day next succeeding 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 Trustees) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer; |
OS0
|
= | the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires; |
OS’
|
= | the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires; and |
SP’
|
= | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Shares over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires, |
such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
following the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or
exchange offer. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or
exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting all or
any such purchases or all or any portion of such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall
again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange
offer had not been made or had only been made in respect of the purchases that had been effected.
No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made if the application of the foregoing formulae
would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate.
31
(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 Shares have the
right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Shares (or other
applicable security) is converted for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or
other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash,
securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Trustees or by statute,
contract or otherwise).
(g) In addition to those required by clauses (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 New York
Stock Exchange, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a
period of at least 20 days if the Board of Trustees 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 Shares or rights to
purchase Common Shares 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 his last address appearing
on the Security Register a notice of the increase at least five 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.
(h) All calculations and other determinations under this Article VIII shall be made by the
Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a
share, as the case may be. No adjustment shall be made for the Company’s issuance of Common Shares
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares, or the right to purchase
Common Shares or such convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this
Section 8.04. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would
require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate then in effect at such time. The Company
shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate and make such
carried forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1% within
one year of the first such adjustment carried forward, upon a Fundamental Change, upon any call of
the notes for redemption or upon maturity.
(i) 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. The Trustee and Conversion Agent may conclusively rely on the
accuracy of the Conversion Rate adjustment provided by the Company. 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 shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the
Holder of each Note at his last address appearing on the
32
Security Register, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure
to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
(j) For purposes of this Section 8.04, the number of Common Shares 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 Common Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.04, in no event will the total
number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion exceed 15.9083 per $1,000 principal amount of
Notes (subject to adjustment in the same manner or as set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 8.04).
Section 8.05 Shares to be Fully Paid. Subject to Section 8.02(k), the Company shall provide,
free from preemptive rights, sufficient Common Shares 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. If any of the
following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Shares
(other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or
combination of the Company with another Person, or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to any other Person, in either case as
a result of which holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other
property or assets with respect to or in exchange for such Common Shares (any such event a “Merger
Event”), then:
(a) the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with
the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which, as evidenced in an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Trustee, shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such
supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing for
the conversion and settlement of the Notes as set forth in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture. Such
supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article and the Trustee may conclusively rely
on the determination by the Company of the equivalency of such adjustments. If, in the case of any
Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a
corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, then such
supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such
additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Trustees
shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent required by
the Board of Trustees and practicable the provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth
in Article 9 herein.
In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.06,
the Company shall, in addition to the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by
Section 102 of the Base Indenture, file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
33
briefly stating the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will
constitute the Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with
respect thereto, and the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof to all Noteholders.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.02(a) and Section 8.02(b), and subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01, at the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each
$1,000 principal amount of Notes will be changed to a right to convert such Note by reference to
the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property or assets that a holder of a number of
Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned
or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”) such that from and after the effective time
of such transaction, a Noteholder will be entitled thereafter to convert its Notes, subject to the
successor’s right to deliver cash, Common Shares or common stock of such successor or a combination
of cash and Common Shares as set forth in Section 8.02(b), into cash (up to the aggregate principal
amount thereof) and, in lieu of the Common Shares otherwise deliverable, the same type (and in the
same proportion) of Reference Property, based on the Daily Settlement Amounts of Reference Property
in an amount equal to the applicable Conversion Rate, as described under Section 8.02(b). For
purposes of determining the constitution of Reference Property, the type and amount of
consideration that a holder of Common Shares would have been entitled to in the case of
reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyance of assets or other transactions
that cause the Common Shares to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of
consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election) will be deemed to be
the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common
Shares that affirmatively make such an election. The Company shall not become a party to any such
transaction unless its terms are consistent with the preceding. None of the foregoing provisions
shall affect the right of a Holder of Notes to convert its Notes in accordance with the provisions
of Article VIII hereof prior to the effective date.
(c) The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be
mailed to each Noteholder, at his address appearing on the Security Register, within thirty (30)
days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or
validity of such supplemental indenture.
(d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
Section 8.07 Certain Covenants. The Company covenants that all Common Shares delivered upon
conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes,
liens and changes with respect to the issue thereof.
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 whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment 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
34
Common Shares, or of any securities or property, which 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 transfer or deliver any Common Shares or share
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 Article Six of the Base Indenture,
may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected
in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto.
Section 8.09 Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.
In case:
(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Shares that
would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.04; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to all of the holders of its Common Shares of
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or
warrants;
(c) of any reclassification of the Common Shares of the Company (other than a subdivision or
combination of its outstanding Common Shares, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company
is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,
the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each Noteholder at his
address appearing on the Security Register as promptly as possible but in any event at least thirty
(30) days prior to the applicable date specified in clause (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a
notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the
holders of Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to
be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the
35
date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Shares of record shall be entitled to
convert their Common Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of
such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up.
Section 8.10 Shareholder Rights Plans. Upon conversion of the Notes, the Holders shall
receive, in addition to any Common Shares issuable upon such conversion, the associated rights
issued under any future shareholder rights plan the Company adopts unless, prior to conversion, the
rights have separated from the Common Shares, expired, terminated or been redeemed or converted in
accordance with such rights plan. If, and only if, the Holders receive rights under such
shareholder rights plans as described in the preceding sentence upon conversion of their Notes,
then no other adjustment pursuant to this Article VIII shall be made in connection with such
shareholder rights plans.
Section 8.11 Ownership Limit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sixth Supplemental
Indenture or the Notes, no Holder of Notes (or beneficial owner of Notes) shall be entitled to
convert such Notes for Common Shares to the extent that receipt of such shares would cause such
Holder (or beneficial owner of Notes) (together with such Holder’s (or beneficial owner’s)
affiliates) to exceed the applicable ownership limit contained in the declaration of trust of the
Company.
ARTICLE IX

Price therefor, which 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 Put Right Repurchase Notice, as determined by the Company.
The Company shall repurchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 9.01, a portion
of a Note if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.
Provisions of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a Note also
apply to the repurchase of such portion of such Note.
Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.01
shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly
following the later of the Put Right Repurchase Date and the time of delivery of the Note.
The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company
of the receipt by it of any Put Right Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof in

Any Note that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if
the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a
new Note or Notes, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized
denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased
portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.
37
(c) In connection with any purchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 9.01, the Company shall
give written notice of the Put Right Repurchase Date to the Holders (the “Company Put Right
Notice”).
The Company Put Right Notice shall be sent by first-class mail to the Trustee and to each
Holder (and to each beneficial owner as required by applicable law) that has delivered a Put Right
Repurchase Notice within 10 Business Days of receipt of such Put Right Repurchase Notice, or, if a
shorter period, at least two Business Days prior to any Put Right Repurchase Date (the “Company Put
Right Notice Date”). Each Company Put Right Notice shall include a form of Put Right Repurchase
Notice to be completed by a Noteholder and shall state:
(i) the Put Right Repurchase Price and the Conversion Price;
(ii) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;
(iii) that Notes as to which a Put Right Repurchase Notice has been given may be
converted in accordance with Article VIII hereof only if the applicable Put Right Repurchase
Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture;
(iv) that Notes must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment;
(v) that the Put Right Repurchase Price for any Note as to which a Put Right Repurchase

above;
(vi) the procedures the Holder must follow to exercise rights under this Section and a
brief description of those rights;
(vii) briefly, the conversion rights of the Notes;
(viii) the procedures for withdrawing a Put Right Repurchase Notice (including pursuant
to the terms of Section 9.01(e);
(ix) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment on Notes for which a Put Right
Repurchase Notice has been submitted, interest on the Notes in respect of which a Put Right
Repurchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn will cease to accrue on the Put Right
Repurchase Date; and
(x) the CUSIP number of the Notes.
If any of the Notes are to be redeemed in the form of a Global Note, the Company shall modify
such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the procedures of the Depositary applicable to
redemptions.
38
At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such Company Put Right Notice in the
Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of
such Company Put Right Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
(d) Upon receipt by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) of the Put
Right Repurchase Notice specified in Section 9.01(a), the Holder of the Note in respect of which
such Put Right Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such Put Right Repurchase Notice is
withdrawn as specified in Section 9.01(e)) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Put Right
Repurchase Price with respect to such Note. Such Put Right Repurchase Price shall be paid to such
Holder, subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the
Put Right Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the conditions in Section 9.01(a)
have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery of such Note to the Paying Agent by the Holder
thereof in the manner required by Section 9.01(a). Notes in respect of which a Put Right
Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article
VIII hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Put Right Repurchase Notice, unless such
Put Right Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn as specified in Section 9.01(e).
(e) A Put Right Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal
delivered to the office of the Paying Agent in accordance with the Put Right Repurchase Notice at
any time prior to 10:00 A.M. New York City time on the fourth Business Day prior to the Put Right
Repurchase Date specifying:
(i) if certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn
Notes,
(ii) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal
is being submitted, and
(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the original
Put Right Repurchase Notice, 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.
A written notice of withdrawal of a Put Right Repurchase Notice shall be in the form set forth
in the preceding paragraph.
Upon receipt of a written notice of withdrawal, the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the
Holders thereof any Notes in respect of which a Put Right Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01(f).
(f) There shall be no repurchase of any Notes pursuant to this Section 9.01 if there has
occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving, by the Holders of such Notes, of
the required Put Right Repurchase Notice) and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to
Notes (other than a default in the payment of the Put Right Repurchase Price with respect to such
Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective
39
Holders thereof any Notes held by
it during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to Notes (other than a default in the
payment of the Put Right Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), in which case, upon such
return, the Put Right Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been
withdrawn.
(g) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time in The City of New York) on the Put Right Repurchase Date,
the Company shall 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 in accordance
with the terms of the Base Indenture as modified by this Sixth Supplemental Indenture) an amount
(in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the aggregate
Put Right Repurchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be purchased as of the
Put Right Repurchase Date. The manner in which the deposit required by this Section 9.01(g) is
made by the Company shall be at the option of the Company; provided that such deposit shall be made
in a manner such that the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall have immediately available funds on the
Put Right Repurchase Date.
If the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds, in accordance with the
terms hereof, money sufficient to pay the Put Right Repurchase Price of any Note, then, on the Put
Right Repurchase Date, such Note will cease to be Outstanding and the rights of the Holder in
respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Put Right Repurchase Price as
aforesaid).
To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to this
Section 9.01(g) exceeds the aggregate Put Right Repurchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof
that the Company is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Put Right Repurchase Date the
Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess cash to the Company.
Section 9.02 Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.
(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, then each Noteholder shall have the right, at
such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes or any

“Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than twenty (20)
Business Days and not more than thirty-five (35) Business Days after the date of the Fundamental

thereof, upon:
(i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a
Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form
set forth on the reverse of the Note prior to the close of business on the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date; and
40
(ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent
appointed by the Company) at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in the Borough of Manhattan or the
City of Boston, such 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 9.02 only if the Note so delivered to the Trustee
(or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) 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

Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.02
shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly
following the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of the book-entry
transfer or delivery of the Note.
The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company
of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal
thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02(c).
Any Note that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if
the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a
new Note or Notes, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal
of the Note so surrendered.
(b) On or before the twentieth day after the occurrence of any Fundamental Change, the Company
shall provide to all Holders of record of the Notes and the Trustee and Paying Agent a notice (the
“Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the
repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. Such mailing shall be
by first class mail. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the
Company shall publish a notice
41
containing the information included therein once 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 such time.
Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture;
and
(ix) 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 9.02.
(c) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the Trustee and Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change
Company Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:
(i) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal
is being submitted;
(ii) if certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn
Notes; and
42
(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the original
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, 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.
(d) On or prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time in The City of New York) on the second Business Day
following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, 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 in accordance with the Base Indenture as modified by this
Sixth Supplemental Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to repurchase on the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date all of the Notes to be repurchased on such date at the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent
appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) prior
to the close of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date will be made promptly after the
later of (x) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the Holder
has satisfied the conditions to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in Section
9.02), and (y) 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 9.02 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto
as they shall appear in the Security 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, 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.
(e) If the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money or securities
sufficient to repurchase on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all the Notes or portions
thereof that are to be purchased as of the second Business Day following the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date, then on and after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (i) such Notes will cease
to be Outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes, and (iii) all other rights of
the Holders of such Notes will terminate, whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been
made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent, other than the right to

2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2038
2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2038
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, designated as
its 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2038 (herein called the “Securities”), issued under and
pursuant to an Indenture dated as of March 1, 1995, as supplemented with respect to the Securities
by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 2, 2005 and the Sixth Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of May 7, 2008 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), between the
Company and U.S. Bank National Association (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company
and the Holders of the Securities. Additional Securities may be issued in an unlimited aggregate
principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.
In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be
continuing, the principal of and interest on all Securities may be declared, and upon said
declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the
conditions provided in the Indenture.
Prior to May 20, 2013, the Company may not redeem the Securities except to preserve the
Company’s status as a real estate investment trust as described in Section 3.01 of the Sixth
Supplemental Indenture. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, on or after May 20,
2013, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Securities, in whole or from time to time in
part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus
accrued and unpaid interest. Any such redemption shall be upon at least 30 days’ and no more than
60 days’ notice to Holders of the Securities.
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, the Put Right Repurchase Price,
the Redemption Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the
Holder who surrenders a Security to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the
Security. 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 Securities, and in other circumstances,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities
at the time Outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the
Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
the Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental
Exh. A-6
indenture shall make any of the changes set forth in Section 6.02 of the Sixth Supplemental
Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Security affected thereby. It is
also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the
Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding
may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities waive any past default or Event of Default
under the Indenture and its consequences except as provided in the Indenture. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Security and
any Securities which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or
not any notation thereof is made upon this Security or such other Securities.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Security at the place, at the respective
times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.
The Securities are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000
principal amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred
to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture,
without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or exchange of
Securities, Securities may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of
other authorized denominations.
The Securities are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s
option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Securities or any portion thereof
(in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities such holder elects to
require the Company to repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company or, at the written request of the Company, the
Trustee shall mail to all Holders of record of the Securities a notice of the occurrence of a
Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof on or before the
twentieth day after the occurrence of any Fundamental Change.
On May 15, 2013, May 15, 2018, May 15, 2023, May 15, 2028 and May 15, 2033, the Holder has the
right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s
Securities or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) at
a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities such Holder elects to require the
Company to repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Put Right
Repurchase Date. Holders shall submit their Securities for repurchase to the Paying Agent at any
time from the opening of business on the date that is 25 Business Days prior to the applicable Put
Right Repurchase Date until the close of business on the fifth Business Day prior to the Put Right
Repurchase Date.
Exh. A-7
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, on
and after February 15, 2013, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the
Indenture and prior to the close of business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity
Date, to convert any Securities or portion thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof,
into cash, Common Shares or a combination of cash and Common Shares, at the option of the Company
as provided in the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, in each case at the Conversion Rate specified in
the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this
Security, together with a Notice of Conversion, a form of which is attached to this Security, as
provided in the Indenture and this Security, to the Company at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York or the City of Boston or
elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, and, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be
issued in the same name as this Security, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or by his duly authorized
attorney. The initial Conversion Rate is 13.1203 shares for each $1,000 principal amount of
Securities. No fractional Common Shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment in
cash will be paid to the Holder, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a
share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Security or Securities for
conversion. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or any shares issued upon conversion of such
Security except as provided in the Indenture.
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security at the office or agency of
the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York or the City of Boston, a new Security or
Securities of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to
the transferee in exchange thereof, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without
charge except for any tax, assessments or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith.
The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and
any Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of
this Security (whether or not this Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account
hereof, for the conversion hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the
Trustee nor any other authenticating agent nor any Paying Agent nor any other Conversion Agent nor
any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments made to or
upon the order of such registered Holder shall, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, satisfy and
discharge liability for monies payable on this Security.
No recourse for the payment of the principal of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, this
Security, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or
upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture
supplemental thereto or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented
thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer, trustee,
director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue
of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any
Exh. A-8
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as
part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
Terms used in this Security and defined in the Indenture are used herein as therein defined.
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM
(=tenants in common), TENANT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (joint tenants with right of
survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform gift to Minors
