Section 2.01 Designation, Form and Dating.
There is hereby authorized a series of unsecured senior convertible notes designated as “3.75%
Senior Convertible Notes due 2013.” The Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to a
Purchase Agreement, dated December 7, 2006 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the
Underwriters. The Securities shall rank pari passu with all of the Company’s other unsecured
senior obligations.
The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Securities
shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The terms and provisions
contained in the form of Securities attached as Exhibit A hereto shall constitute, and are hereby
expressly made, a part of this First Supplemental Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the
Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture,
expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.
Any of the Securities may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such
notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the Officers executing the same may approve
(execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture, or as may be required by the
Trustee, the Depositary, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule
or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or
automated quotation system on which the Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to
indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Securities are subject.
Subject to Section 2.06 hereof, so long as the Securities are eligible for book-entry
settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, or otherwise contemplated by
the Base Indenture, all of the Securities will be represented by one or more Global Securities. The
transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Security shall be effected through
the Depositary in accordance with this First Supplemental Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.
Each Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified
therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as
appropriate, to reflect exchanges, purchases or conversions of such Securities.
Section 2.02 Final Maturity Date; Interest.
The Securities shall mature on the Final Maturity Date.
The rate or rates at which the Securities shall bear interest, the date or dates from which
such interest shall accrue, the Interest Payment Dates on which such interest shall be payable
7
and the Regular Record Date for any interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, in each
case, shall be as set forth in the form of Security set forth as Exhibit A hereto.
Section 2.03 Amount of Series.
The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under
this First Supplemental Indenture is initially limited to $100,000,000 (or $115,000,000 if the
Underwriters exercise in full their over-allotment option as set forth in the Purchase Agreement);
provided that additional Securities with the same terms and with the same CUSIP numbers as the
initial Securities may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount from time to time
thereafter as set forth pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Base Indenture; provided, further that no
such additional Securities may be issued unless fungible with the initial Securities for U.S.
federal income tax purposes.
Section 2.04 Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Trustee.
In addition to Section 2.05 and Section 4.02 of the Base Indenture, (i) the Company hereby
initially designates the Trustee as Security Registrar for the Securities and (ii) the Company
shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion (the
“Conversion Agent”). The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as the Conversion Agent.
The Company further designates the Corporate Trust Office as its office where the Securities may
be:
(1) presented or surrendered for payment;
(2) surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange; and
(3) surrendered for conversion; and
(4) where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and
this Indenture may be served.
The Company may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any
such office or appoint any additional offices for any or all of such purposes; provided, however,
that until all of the Securities have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or moneys
sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities have been
made available for payment and either paid or returned to the Company pursuant to the provisions of
Section 9.02 hereof, the Company will maintain an office or agency where Securities may be
presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange, where Securities may be surrendered for conversion and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served,
without service charge. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee, and notice to
the Holders, of the appointment or termination of any such agents and of the location and any
change in the location of any such office or agency.
If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall
fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, presentations and surrenders may be made at,
and notices and demands may be served on, the Corporate Trust Office.
8
The Company may also from time to time designate one or more Conversion Agents and from time
to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of such Conversion
Agent.
The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee under the
Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities
hereunder, and each Conversion Agent or other Agent acting hereunder.
Section 2.05 Conversion Agent to Hold Shares in Trust.
The Company shall require each Conversion Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing
that the Conversion Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all shares
of Common Stock held by the Conversion Agent for the delivery of Common Stock when due upon
conversion, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such
delivery. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Conversion Agent to deliver
all shares of Common Stock held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a
Conversion Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon such acknowledgement by the
Trustee of its receipt of any such payment, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Company or a
Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for such money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as
Conversion Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the
Holders all shares held by it as Conversion Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization
proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Conversion Agent for the
Securities.
Section 2.06 Global Securities.
(a) Each Global Security authenticated under this First Supplemental Indenture shall be
registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a
nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single
Security for purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Base
Indenture or the Securities, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made
only in accordance with Section 2.11 of the Base Indenture and this Section 2.06. A Global Security
may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee
or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided
that this clause (b) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is issued in exchange for a
Global Security but is not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a Security to any Person shall
be effective under this First Supplemental Indenture unless and until such Security has been
registered in the name of such Person.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Base
Indenture or the Securities, a Global Security shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a
Security registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees
thereof, provided that a Global Security may be exchanged for Securities registered in the names of
any Person designated by the Depositary in the event that (i) the Depositary has notified the
9
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Security or
the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor
depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (ii) the Company by written notice to
the Trustee elects to issue the Securities in definitive registered form in exchange for all or any
part of the Securities represented by the Global Security or (iii) there is or continues to be an
Event of Default and the Registrar receives notice from the Depositary for the issuance of
definitively registered Securities in exchange for the Global Security. Any Global Security
exchanged pursuant to clause (i) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part. Any Security
issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global Security;
provided that any such Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the
Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security.
(d) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be issued
in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have a principal amount equal
to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, and shall be registered in
such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate. Any Global
Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee or the
Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security
shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary
or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced,
by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment
made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the
Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.
(e) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(g) below, the registered Holder may grant
proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members (as defined below) and Persons
that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to
take under this First Supplemental Indenture or the Securities.
(f) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.06(c) above,
the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated
Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.
(g) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (collectively, the “Agent
Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under
this First Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture with respect to any Global Security
registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security,
and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global
Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent
the Company or the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any
written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as
the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other person on
whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons
governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.
10
(h) At such time as all interests in a Global Security have been repurchased, converted,
cancelled or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, such Global Security shall, upon
receipt thereof, be cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and
instructions existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, subject to Section 2.08
of the Base Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global
Security is repurchased, converted, canceled or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, the
principal amount of such Global Security shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and
instructions existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, be appropriately
reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security, by the Trustee or the Securities
Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.
Article 3.
Repurchase of Securities
Repurchase of Securities
Notwithstanding Article 3 of the Base Indenture, the following Article 3 shall apply for
purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Securities.
Section 3.01 No Optional Redemption.
No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. The Securities will not be redeemable at the
Company’s option.
Section 3.02 Repurchase of Securities at Option of the Holder upon a Fundamental
Change.
(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Final Maturity Date, each Holder of a Security
shall have the right, at the option of the Holder, to require the Company to repurchase for cash
all or any portion of the Securities of such Holder equal to $1,000 principal amount (or an
integral multiple thereof) at the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, on the date specified by the
Company that is not less than 20 days and not more than 35 days after the date of the Fundamental
Change Company Notice pursuant to subsection 3.02(b) (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”).
(b) On or before the tenth day after the Fundamental Change Effective Date, the Company, or,
at the written request of the Company, the Trustee, shall mail a written notice of the occurrence
of the Fundamental Change, and of the repurchase right arising therefrom, to the Trustee, Paying
Agent and to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) (the “Fundamental
Change Company Notice”). Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the
Company shall publish a notice containing substantially the same information that is required in
the Fundamental Change Company Notice in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York
or publish information on a website of the Company or through such other public medium the Company
may use at that time. The Fundamental Change Company Notice shall set forth the Holder’s right to
require the Company to purchase the Securities and specify:
(1) the events causing such Fundamental Change;
(2) the date of such Fundamental Change;
11
(3) the last date by which the Fundamental Repurchase Notice must be delivered to elect
the repurchase option pursuant to this Section 3.02;
(4) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;
(5) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;
(6) the name and address of each Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;
(7) the then effective Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate
resulting from such Fundamental Change;
(8) that the Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Notice has been
delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change
Purchase Notice in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and
(9) the procedures that the Holder must follow to require the Company to repurchase its
Securities under this Section 3.02.
At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give such Fundamental Change Company
Notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that, in all cases, the Company
makes such request at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date by which such Fundamental
Change Company Notice must be given to the Holders in accordance with this Section 3.02; provided,
further, that the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
If any of the Securities is in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify such
notice to the extent necessary to accord with the Applicable Procedures relating to the purchase of
Global Securities.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any
Holder’s right to exercise its right to cause the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Securities
pursuant to this Section 3.02.
(c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in Section 3.02 upon delivery of (1) the
Security to be repurchased, duly endorsed for transfer, together with (2) a duly completed notice
(which shall be in substantially the form entitled “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice” and set
forth on the reverse of the Security and which may be delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand
delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global
Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary’s
Applicable Procedures) of the exercise of such rights (a “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) to
the Paying Agent at any time on or before the close of business on the Fundamental Change Purchase
Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law.
(1) The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state: (A) the certificate number
(if such Security is held other than in global form) of the Security which the Holder will
deliver to be repurchased (or, if the Security is held in global form, any other items
required to comply with the Applicable Procedures), (B) the portion of the principal amount
of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, and (C) that such
12
Security shall be repurchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date pursuant to
the terms and conditions specified in the Securities and in this First Supplemental
Indenture.
(2) The delivery of a Security for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has
been timely delivered to any Paying Agent, on or before the Business Day immediately
preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at
the office of such Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price therefor.
(3) The Company shall only be obliged to purchase, pursuant to this Section 3.02, a
portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 (provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture that apply to the
purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security).
(4) A Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
(5) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities,
any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be delivered and such Securities may be
surrendered or delivered for purchase in accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in
effect from time to time.
(6) A Holder may withdraw any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in whole or in part
by written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent on or before the close of
business on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. Such notice of withdrawal shall state:
(A) the principal amount of the withdrawn Security, (B) the certificate number (if such
Security is held other than in global form) of the withdrawn Security (or, if the Security
is held in global form, any other items required to comply with the Applicable Procedures),
and (C) the principal amount, if any, which remains subject to the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice.
(d) The Company shall deposit cash at the time and in the manner as provided in Section 3.04,
sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all Securities to be purchased
pursuant to this Section 3.02.
Section 3.03 Effect of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of a properly completed Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
from a Holder, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change Repurchase
Notice was given shall thereafter be entitled to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with
respect to such Security, subject to the occurrence of the Fundamental Change Effective Date. Such
Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of (1)
the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided that the conditions in Section 3.02 have been
satisfied) and (2) the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of such Security to a Paying Agent
by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.02(c), subject to extension to comply
with applicable law.
13
Section 3.04 Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price.
(a) On or before the close of business on the Business Day following the applicable
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in
trust as provided in Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture) an amount of money (in immediately
available funds if deposited on or after such Fundamental Change Purchase Date), sufficient to pay
the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are
to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. Payment by the Paying Agent of the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price following receipt of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price from
the Company shall be made promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date or
the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of such Securities.
(b) If a Paying Agent holds, on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Purchase
Date, in accordance with the terms hereof, money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase
Price of any Security for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been tendered then,
immediately following the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date, whether or not book-entry
transfer of the Security is made or whether or not the Security is delivered to the Paying Agent,
each such Security will cease to be outstanding, interest, including any additional interest, if
any, shall cease to accrue, and the rights of the Holder in respect of the Security shall terminate
(other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon delivery or transfer of
the Security as aforesaid).
(c) If a Fundamental Change Purchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date and on or before
the related Interest Payment Date, then interest on the Securities payable on such Interest Payment
Date will be payable to the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of
business on such Regular Record Date.
Section 3.05 Repayment to the Company.
To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section
3.04 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof
that the Company is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date
the Paying Agent shall return any such excess cash to the Company.
Section 3.06 Securities Purchased in Part.
Any Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of a
Paying Agent, and promptly after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service
charge, a new Security or Securities, of such authorized denomination or denominations as may be
requested by such Holder (which must be equal to $1,000 principal amount or any integral thereof),
in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of
the Security so surrendered that is not purchased.
14
Section 3.07 Compliance with Securities Laws upon Purchase of Securities.
In connection with any offer to purchase of Securities under Section 3.02, the Company shall
(a) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 (or any successor to either such Rule), and any other
tender offer rules, if applicable, under the Exchange Act, (b) file the related Schedule TO (or any
successor or similar schedule, form or report) if required under the Exchange Act, and (c)
otherwise comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with such
offer to purchase or purchase of Securities, all so as to permit the rights of the Holders and
obligations of the Company under Sections 3.02 through 3.05 to be exercised in the time and in the
manner specified therein. To the extent that compliance with any such laws, rules and regulations
would result in a conflict with any of the terms hereof, this Indenture is hereby modified to the
extent required for the Company to comply with such laws, rules and regulations.
Section 3.08 Purchase of Securities in Open Market.
The Company may purchase Securities in the open market, by tender at any price or pursuant to
private agreements. The Company shall surrender any Security repurchased by the Company pursuant
to this Article 3 to the Trustee for cancellation. Any Securities surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation may not be reissued or resold by the Company and will be canceled promptly in
accordance with Section 2.08 of the Base Indenture.
Section 3.09 Make Whole Premium.
If there shall have occurred a transaction described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition
of Change of Control, the Company shall pay a Make Whole Premium under certain circumstances as
described in Section 4.01(e).
Article 4.
Conversion
Conversion
Section 4.01 Conversion Privilege and Conversion Rate.
(a) The conversion rights pursuant to this Article 4 shall commence on the Issue Date of the
Securities and expire at the close of business on the Final Maturity Date, subject to the
provisions of this Indenture and, in the case of conversion of any Global Security, to any
Applicable Procedures. If a Security is submitted or presented for purchase pursuant to Article 3,
such conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the Fundamental Change Purchase
Date for such Security (unless the Company shall fail to make the Fundamental Change Purchase Price
payment when due in accordance with Article 3, in which case the conversion right shall terminate
at the close of business on the date such failure is cured and such Security is purchased).
(b) Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to
conversion of a portion of a Security.
(c) A Holder of Securities is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until
such Holder has converted its Securities into Common Stock, and only to the extent such Securities
are deemed to have been converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Article 4.
15
(d) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 4.01(e)
and Section 4.06.
(e) If there shall have occurred a transaction described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the
definition of a Change of Control, the Company shall calculate and pay a “Make Whole Premium” to
the Holders of the Securities who convert their Securities during the period beginning 20 days
before the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date until the close of business on the tenth
Business Day immediately following the Fundamental Change Effective Date by increasing the
Conversion Rate for such Securities. The number of additional shares of Common Stock per $1,000
principal amount of Securities constituting the Make Whole Premium shall be determined by reference
to the table set forth on Schedule A hereto, based on the Fundamental Change Effective Date
and the Stock Price; provided that if the Stock Price or Fundamental Change Effective Date are not
set forth on the table: (i) if the actual Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date is
between two Stock Prices on the table or the actual Fundamental Change Effective Date is between
two Fundamental Change Effective Dates on the table, the Make Whole Premium will be determined by a
straight-line interpolation between the Make Whole Premiums set forth for the two Stock Prices and
the two Fundamental Change Effective Dates on the table based on a 365-day year, as applicable,
(ii) if the Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date exceeds $200.00 per share, subject
to adjustment as set forth herein, no Make Whole Premium will be paid, and (iii) if the Stock Price
on the Fundamental Change Effective Date is less than $17.42 per share, subject to adjustment as
set forth herein, no Make Whole Premium will be paid. If Holders of the Company’s Common Stock
receive only cash in the transaction, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share of
the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Change. Otherwise, the Stock Price
shall be equal to the average Last Reported Sale Price of the Company’s Common Stock over the 10
Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding, and excluding, the applicable
Fundamental Change Effective Date.
The Stock Prices set forth in the first column of the table on Schedule A will be
adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Securities is adjusted other than an
adjustment pursuant to the Make Whole Premium described above. The adjusted Stock Prices will
equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to
the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The
number of additional shares set forth in the table above will be adjusted in the same manner as the
Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 4.06 hereof, other than as a result of an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate by adding the Make Whole Premium as described above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, in no event will the total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of a Security exceed 57.4051 per $1,000 principal amount as a result
of this Section 4.01, subject to proportional adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate
as set forth in clauses (1) through (4) of Section 4.06(a) hereof.
(f) By delivering the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion to the Trustee,
plus a cash payment for a fractional share, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its
obligation to pay the principal amount of the Securities so converted and its obligation to pay
accrued and unpaid interest attributable to the period from the most recent Interest Payment Date
through the Conversion Date (which amount will be deemed cancelled, extinguished and forfeited).
16
Section 4.02 Conversion Procedure.
(a) To convert a Security, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice
on the back of the Security, or facsimile of such conversion notice, and deliver such notice to the
Conversion Agent, which shall become irrevocable upon receipt by the Conversion Agent, (2)
surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents if required by the Registrar or the Conversion Agent, (4) pay an amount equal to the
interest as required by Section 4.02(c) and (5) pay all transfer or similar taxes, if required
pursuant to Section 4.04. The date on which the Holder satisfies all of those requirements is the
“Conversion Date.” Upon the conversion of a Security, the Company will deliver the shares of Common
Stock, without service charge, as promptly as practicable after the Conversion Date, but in no
event later than five Business Days after the Conversion Date. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, conversion notices may be delivered and such
Securities may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with clauses (3), (4) and (5) of this
Section 4.02(a) and the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.
(b) The person in whose name the shares of Common Stock are issuable upon conversion shall be
deemed to be a holder of record of such Common Stock on the Conversion Date; provided, however,
that no surrender of a Security on any Conversion Date when the stock transfer books of the Company
shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive the
shares of Common Stock upon conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common
Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons
entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all
purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are
open; provided further that such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the
Conversion Date as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion
of a Security, such person shall no longer be a Holder of such Security. Except as set forth in
this First Supplemental Indenture, no payment or adjustment will be made for dividends or
distributions declared or made on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security prior
to the issuance of such shares.
(c) Holders of Securities surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period
from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date will receive the semi-annual interest payable on the principal
amount of such Securities being surrendered for conversion on the corresponding Interest Payment
Date notwithstanding the conversion. Upon surrender of any such Securities for conversion, such
Securities shall also be accompanied by payment in funds to the Conversion Agent acceptable to the
Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such corresponding Interest Payment Date (but
excluding any overdue interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted that exists at
the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
such Holder which surrenders for conversion any Security (a) with respect to which the Company has
specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or prior
to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (b) after the last Regular Record Date prior to
the Final Maturity Date, in either case, need not pay the Company an amount equal to the interest
on the principal amount of such Security so converted at the time such Holder surrenders such
Security for conversion. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.02(c), no payment or
adjustment will be made for accrued interest on a converted Security.
17
(d) Subject to Section 4.02(c), nothing in this Section shall affect the right of a Holder in
whose name any Security is registered at the close of business on a Regular Record Date to receive
the interest payable on such Security on the related Interest Payment Date in accordance with the
terms of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Securities. If a Holder converts more than one
Security at the same time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion (and
the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.03) shall be based on the
aggregate principal amount of all Securities so converted.
(e) In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, without
service charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal
amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such
Security. A Security may be converted in part, but only if the principal amount of such part is an
integral multiple of $1,000 and the principal amount of such Security to remain outstanding after
such conversion is equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Section 4.03 Fractional Shares.
No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Security or
Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same
Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed
on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so
surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issued upon
conversion of any Security or Securities (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 Stock as of the
Trading Day preceding the Conversion Date.
Section 4.04 Taxes on Conversion.
Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all documentary, stamp
or similar issue or transfer tax due and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or
delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. A Holder
delivering a Security for conversion shall be liable for and will be required to pay any tax or
duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares
of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be
converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless the Person requesting such issue has
paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of
the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.
18
Section 4.05 Company to Provide Common Stock.
(a) The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Securities hereunder, and from time to time as
may be necessary, reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Securities into shares of Common
Stock.
(b) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Securities shall be newly
issued shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be
free from preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim as the result of any
action by the Company.
(c) The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all applicable federal and state
securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of
Securities.
Section 4.06 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.
The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of
Common Stock, or effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted
based on the following formula:
where, | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to
the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution, or the effective date of such share
split or share combination, as the case may be; |
||
CR’ | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately
after the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution, or the effective date of such share
split or share combination, as the case may be; |
||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such
dividend or distribution, or the effective date of
such share split or share combination, as the case
may be; and |
||
OS’ | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such dividend or distribution,
or the effective date of such share split or share
combination, as the case may be. |
19
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately on or after (i) the Ex-Dividend Date for such
dividend or distribution or (ii) the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as
applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 4.06(a) is
declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion
Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b) If the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock any rights or warrants entitling
them to purchase, for a period of not more than 45 days after the Ex-Dividend Date for the
distribution, shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Last
Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Business Day period ending on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate
will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where, | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to
the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
||
CR’ | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately
after the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such
distribution; |
||
X | = | the total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and |
||
Y | = | the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or
warrants divided by the average of the Last
Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the
10 consecutive Business Day period ending on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend
Date for such distribution. |
For purposes of this Section 4.06(b), in determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the
Holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the
applicable Last Reported Sale Prices, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price
payable for such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration
received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or
conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by
the Board of Directors. If any right or warrant described in this Section 4.06(b) is not exercised
or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such
right or warrant had not been so issued. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.06(b)
shall become effective immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable distribution.
20
(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or
other assets or property of the Company to all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:
(1) dividends or distributions referred to in clause (a) or (b) above;
(2) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and
(3) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this clause (c) shall apply;
then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where, | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to
the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
||
CR’ | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately
after the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
||
SP0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of
the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Business
Day period ending on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such
distribution; and |
||
FMV | = | the average of the Fair Market Values (as
determined by the Board of Directors) of the
shares of Capital Stock, evidences of
indebtedness, assets or property distributed with
respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock
over the 10 consecutive Business Day period ending
on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable
distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (c) where there has been a payment of a
dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock or shares of the Capital Stock of any class or
series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (a
“Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
tenth Business Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off will be
increased based on the following formula:
21
where, | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior
to the tenth Business Day immediately following,
and including, the effective date of the
Spin-Off; |
||
CR’ | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately
after the tenth Business Day immediately
following, and including, the effective date of
the Spin-Off; |
||
FMV0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of
the Capital Stock or similar equity interest
distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable
to one share of Common Stock over the first 10
consecutive Business Day period immediately
following, and including, the effective date of
the Spin-Off; and |
||
MP0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of
Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive
Business Day period immediately following, and
including, the effective date of the Spin-Off. |
Such adjustment shall occur immediately after the tenth Business Day immediately following, and
including, the effective date of the Spin-Off provided that, for purposes of determining the
Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the ten Business Days following the effective
date of any Spin-Off, references within the portion of this clause (c) related to “Spin-Offs” to 10
Business Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Business Days as have elapsed
between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the relevant Conversion Date.
If any such dividend or distribution described in this clause (c) is declared but not paid or made,
the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect
if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all holders of Common Stock, the
Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where, | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to
the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
||
CR’ | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately
after the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
||
SP0 | = | the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock
on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and |
||
C | = | the amount in cash per share of Common Stock of
the Company distributes to holders of Common
Stock. |
22
An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this clause (d) shall become effective
immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable dividend or distribution. If any dividend
or distribution described in this clause (d) is declared but not so paid or made, the new
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such
dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or
exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration
included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the
Common Stock on the Business Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be
made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the
following formula:
where, | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of
business on the last Business Day of the 10
consecutive Business Day period commencing on the
Business Day next succeeding the date such tender
or exchange offer expires; |
||
CR’ | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately
following the last Business Day of the 10
consecutive Business Day period commencing on the
Business 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
Directors) paid or payable for shares purchased in
such tender or exchange offer; |
||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the expiration of such tender
or exchange offer; |
||
OS’ | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after the expiration of such tender or
exchange offer (after giving effect to the
purchase or exchange of shares pursuant to such
tender or exchange offer); and |
||
SP’ | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of
Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Business Day
period commencing on the Business Day next
succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer
expires. |
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this clause (e) shall become effective immediately
following the tenth Business Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during
the ten Business Days following the date that any tender or exchange offer expires, references
within this clause (e) to 10 Business Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of
Business Days as have elapsed between the date such tender or exchange offer expires and the
relevant Conversion Date. If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase
Common Stock
23
pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but are permanently prevented by applicable law from
effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the new Conversion Rate shall be
readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had
not been made.
Section 4.07 When No Adjustment is Required.
(a) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate as last adjusted; provided,
however, that any adjustments which would be required to be made but for this Section 4.07(a) shall
be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment and any carry forward amount
shall be paid to the Holder upon conversion regardless of the 1% threshold. All calculations under
this Article 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of Section 4.06, no adjustment will be made
thereunder, nor shall an adjustment be made to the ability of a Holder to convert, for any
distribution described therein if the Holder will otherwise participate in the distribution without
conversion of such Holder’s securities as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the applicable Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in
thousands) of notes held by such holder, without having to convert its Securities. Further, if the
application of the foregoing formulas in Section 4.06 would result in a decrease in the Conversion
Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (except on account of share combinations).
(c) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made unless as specifically set forth in
Section 4.06 and Section 4.01(e). Without limiting the foregoing, no adjustment to the Conversion
Rate need be made:
(1) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future
plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the
Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under
any plan;
(2) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase
shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant
benefit plan or program or employee stock purchase plan of or assumed by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries;
(3) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant,
right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (1)
above and outstanding as of the Issue Date;
(4) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
(5) for accrued and unpaid Interest (including any Special Interest);
Section 4.08 Notice of Adjustment.
24
Whenever the Conversion Rate or conversion privilege is required to be adjusted pursuant to
this Indenture, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a notice of the adjustment and file with
the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment, the
adjusted Conversion Rate and the manner of computing it. Failure to mail such notice or any defect
therein shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment. Unless and until the Trustee shall
receive an Officer’s Certificate setting forth an adjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Trustee
may assume without inquiry that the Conversion Rate has not been adjusted and that the last
Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge remains in effect.
Section 4.09 Notice of Certain Transactions.
In the event that there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Company shall mail
to Holders and file with the Trustee a notice stating the proposed effective date. The Company
shall mail such notice at least 20 days before such proposed effective date. Failure to mail such
notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in this
Section 4.09.
Section 4.10 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale on Conversion
Privilege.
If any of the following events occur:
(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination),
(ii) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination of the
Company with another corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in
exchange for such Common Stock or
(iii) any sale, conveyance or lease of the properties and assets of the Company
as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation
as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or
other property or assets (including cash) (the “Reference Property”) with respect to or in exchange
for such Common Stock, the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be,
shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in
force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is
then required to so comply) providing that each Security shall be convertible into the kind and
amount of Reference Property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such
recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange,
combination, sale or conveyance had such Securities been converted into Common Stock immediately
prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share
exchange, combination, sale, conveyance or lease. In the event holders of Common Stock have the
opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such recapitalization,
reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale,
conveyance or lease, the Reference Property will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types
25
and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make
such an election. The Company will notify Holders of the weighted average as soon as practicable
after such determination is made.
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 4. If, in the case of any
such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange,
combination, sale, conveyance or lease, the Reference Property receivable thereupon by a holder of
shares of Common Stock 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 recapitalization,
reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, 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 Securities
as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including
to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth in Article 3
hereof.
In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this
Section 4.10, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly
stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of Reference Property that a holder of shares of
Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or
been entitled to receive after any such transaction, and any adjustment to be made with respect
thereto. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be
mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the
Securities, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect
the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive
recapitalizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges,
combinations, sales and conveyances.
If this Section 4.10 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 4.06 hereof shall
not apply.
The Company shall not become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent
with the foregoing. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder to convert
the Securities as set forth in Section 4.01 prior to the effective time of such transaction.
Section 4.11 Trustee’s Disclaimer.
(a) The Trustee shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 4 should
be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive
evidence of that fact or the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying
upon, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, including the Officer’s Certificate with
respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.08.
Unless and until the Trustee receives such Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section
4.08, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such adjustment has been made and the last
Conversion Rate of which the Trustee has knowledge remains in effect.
The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion
of
26
Securities, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with
any provisions of this Article 4.
(b) The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any
provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 4.10, but may
accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be fully protected in relying
upon, the Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, with respect thereto which the Company are
obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.10 and Section 6.01, respectively.
Section 4.12 Voluntary Increase.
Subject to Section 8.01(e), the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate, to
the extent permitted by law and subject to the stockholder approval requirements of The Nasdaq
Global Market or such other United States securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded,
by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days, the increase is irrevocable
during the period and the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the best
interests of the Company or to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of shares of Common Stock in
connection with a dividend or distribution of stock, or rights to acquire stock, or similar event,
and the Company provides 15 days’ prior written notice of any increase in the Conversion Rate to
the Trustee and the Holders; provided, however, that in no event may the Company increase the
Conversion Rate such that it causes the Conversion Price to be less than the par value of a share
of Common Stock.
Section 4.13 Rights Plan.
To the extent that the Company has a Rights Plan in effect upon conversion of the Securities
into Common Stock, the Holder will receive upon conversion of the Securities in respect of which
the Company has elected to deliver Common Stock, if applicable, the Rights under the Rights Plan,
unless prior to any conversion, the Rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case, and
only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company
distributed to all holders of Common Stock shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of
indebtedness or assets as described in Section 4.06(c) above, subject to readjustment in the event
of the expiration, termination or redemption of such Rights. In lieu of any such adjustment, the
Company may amend such applicable Rights Plan to provide that upon conversion of the Securities the
Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the Rights
which would have attached to such Common Stock if the Rights had not become separated from the
Common Stock under such applicable Rights Plan.
Article 5.
Covenants

In addition to the covenants set forth in Article 4 of the Base Indenture the following

Change Purchase Price, on the Business Day following the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase

pay all such amounts then due. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay
interest in immediately available funds on overdue principal amount and interest at the annual rate
borne by the Securities compounded semiannually, which interest shall accrue from the date such
overdue amount was originally due to the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon,
has been made or duly provided for. All such interest shall be payable on demand.
(b) Payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities shall be made at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, which shall initially be at the
Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however,
that the Company may pay principal and interest in respect of any Certificated Security by check or
wire transfer payable in such money; provided, further, that at the option of the Company payment
of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address appears in the register of the Securities; provided, further that a Holder with an
aggregate principal amount in excess of $2,000,000 will be paid by wire transfer in immediately
available funds at the election of such Holder if such Holder has provided wire transfer
instructions to the Trustee at least 10 Business Days prior to the payment date. Any wire transfer
instructions received by the Trustee will remain in effect until revoked by the Holder.

available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and
statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve
any such right or franchise if the Company determines that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.
28
Section 5.03 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.
The Company will promptly pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged all
material taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies lawfully imposed upon it or upon its
income or profits or upon any of its property, real or personal, or upon any part thereof, as well
as all material claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a
lien or charge upon its property; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay

the amount, applicability or validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have set aside on its books reserves deemed by it
adequate with respect thereto.
Section 5.04 Reports.
The Company shall deliver (which delivery may be via electronic mail) to the Trustee
within 15 days after it files them with the SEC copies of the annual reports and of the

pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, the Company shall not be
required to deliver to the Trustee any materials for which the Company has sought and received
confidential treatment by the SEC. In the event the Company is at any time no longer subject to
the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it shall continue to provide
the Trustee with reports containing substantially the same information as would have been required
to be filed with the SEC had the Company continued to have been subject to such reporting
requirements. In such event, such reports shall be provided at the times the Company would have
been required to provide reports had it continued to have been subject to such reporting
requirements. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the
TIA.

of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Securities.
If an Event of Default with respect to outstanding Securities (other than an Event of Default
specified in Section 7.01(d) hereof (solely with respect to the Company’s obligations under Section
5.05 as described below), Section 7.01(g) or 7.01(h) hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee

amount of all outstanding Securities plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment.
Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of

If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(g) or 7.01(h) hereof occurs, all

obligations under Section 5.04 or the failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1)
of the Trust Indenture Act first occurs to but not including the 60th day thereafter (or
such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to such obligations shall have been cured
or waived pursuant to Section 7.04). On such 60th day (or earlier, if such Event of
Default is cured or waived pursuant to Section 7.04 prior to such 60th day), such
Special Interest will cease to accrue and, if such Event of Default has not been cured or waived
pursuant to Section 7.04 prior to such 60th day, then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than
25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the principal of and accrued and
unpaid interest and Special Interest on all such Securities to be due and payable immediately.
This provision shall not affect the rights of the Holders in the event of the occurrence of any
other Event of Default. If the Company elects to pay Special Interest as the sole remedy for an
Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(d) relating to the failure by the Company to comply with
its obligations under Section 5.04 and for any failure by the Company to comply with the
requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Company shall notify, in the
manner provided for in Section 13.04 of the Base Indenture, the Holders and the Trustee of such
election at any time on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default
first occurs. If Special Interest is payable under this Section 7.02, the Company shall deliver to
the Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of Special Interest that is payable
and (ii) the date on which Special Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume
without inquiry that no Special Interest is payable. If Special Interest has been paid by the
Company directly to the persons entitled to them, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a
certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding
Securities by written notice to the Trustee may rescind and annul an acceleration and its
consequences if:
(1) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal of or
interest on the Securities which has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been
remedied, cured or waived, and
(2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction;
33
provided, however, that in the event such declaration of acceleration has been made based on
the existence of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(e) hereof and such Event of Default has
been remedied, cured or waived in accordance with Section 7.01(e) hereof, then, without any further
action by the Holders, such declaration of acceleration shall be rescinded automatically and the
consequences of such declaration shall be annulled. No such rescission or annulment shall affect
any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 7.03 Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default with respect to outstanding Securities occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of
principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the
Securities.
Section 7.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders, either (a) through the written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then-outstanding Securities or (b) by the adoption of a resolution, at a
meeting of Holders of the then-outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present, by the Holders
of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities represented at
such meeting, may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities, waive an existing Default or
Event of Default, except a Default or Event of Default:
(1) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any
Security (provided, however, that subject to Section 7.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Securities may rescind an acceleration and its
consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
(2) in respect of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article 4;
or
(3) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Section 8.02 hereof,
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security
affected.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture;
provided, however, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair
any right consequent thereon.
Section 7.05 Control by Majority.
Notwithstanding Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture, the Holders, either (a) through the
written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding, or (b) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Securities then
34
outstanding at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Securities represented at such meeting, shall have the right to
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse
to follow any direction that:
(a) conflicts with any law or with this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture,
(b) the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of the Holders
not joining therein, or
(c) in the Trustee’s reasonable judgment may expose the Trustee to personal liability.
The Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction.
Section 7.06 Limitation on Suit.
Notwithstanding Section 6.04 of the Base Indenture, no Holder of any Security shall have any
right to pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities (including instituting
any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee) unless:
(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of an Event of Default that
is continuing;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
then outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to
it against any costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in complying with such request;
(d) the Trustee has failed to comply with the request for 60 days after its
receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and
(e) during such 60-day period, no direction inconsistent with such written request
has been given to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding (or such amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture).
35
Section 7.07 Unconditional Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert.
In addition to the other rights and remedies set forth in this Article 7 and in Article 6 of
the Base Indenture, the following shall apply with respect to the Securities authorized and
designated under this First Supplemental Indenture.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this First Supplemental Indenture, the Holder of any
Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the
principal amount, Fundamental Change Purchase Price, interest and Make Whole Premium, if any, in
respect of the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in
the Securities and this First Supplemental Indenture, and to convert such Security in accordance
with Article 4, and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective due dates or for the right to convert in accordance with Article 4, and shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 7.08 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by the Trustee.
The Company covenants that if:
(a) a Default or Event of Default occurs in the payment of any interest on any Security
when such interest becomes due and payable and such Default or Event of Default continues for a
period of 30 days, or
(b) a Default or Event of Default occurs in the payment of the principal of or premium,
if any, on any Security at the Maturity thereof or any Fundamental Change Purchase Price, including
any Make Whole Premium,
the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities, the whole amount then due and payable (as expressed therein or as a result of any
acceleration effected pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof) on such Securities for principal and
premium, if any, and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and on any overdue interest, in
each case at the Interest Rate, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of
the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may
enforce the same against the Company and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in
the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any
36
such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this
Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper
remedy.
Section 7.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the
Company or the property of the Company or its creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the
principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the
payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise, (1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and
premium, if any, and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee hereunder) and of the
Holders of Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (2) to collect and receive any
moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and to distribute the same; and
any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in
any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities to make such
payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders of Securities, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept, or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security, any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof
or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such
proceeding.
Section 7.10 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right
or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such
case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of
Securities shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.
37
Section 7.11 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Notwithstanding Section 6.05 of the Base Indenture, except as otherwise provided with respect
to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last
paragraph of Section 2.07 of the Base Indenture, no right or remedy conferred in this Indenture
upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any
other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right
or remedy.
Section 7.12 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
Notwithstanding Section 6.05 of the Base Indenture, no delay or omission of the Trustee or of
any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to
the Holders of Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities, as the case may be.
Section 7.13 Application of Money Collected.
Notwithstanding 6.03 of the Base Indenture, any money and property collected by the Trustee

premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the
payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee;
SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and coupons in respect of which or for the benefit
of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, and
interest, respectively; and
THIRD: Any remaining amounts shall be repaid to the Company.
38
Section 7.14 Undertaking for Costs.
Notwithstanding Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture, all parties to this Supplemental Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Security by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right
or remedy under this Supplemental Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company,
to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders,
holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security for the enforcement of the
payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security on or after the Stated

connection with a Fundamental Change, on or after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date) or for the
enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article 4.
Section 7.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will
not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 7.16 Notice of Default.
Notwithstanding Section 7.14 of the Base Indenture, this Section 7.16 shall apply for purposes
of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Securities.
If any Default or any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if such Default or Event
of Default is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder
in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act notice of the
Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs and becomes known to the Trustee, unless
such Default or Event of Default has been cured; provided, however, that, except in the case of a
default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the
executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in
good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY]
MannKind Corporation
3.75% Senior Convertible Notes due 2013
1. | INTEREST |
The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 3.75%
per annum. The Company shall pay interest semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of
each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on June 15, 2007. Interest on the Notes
shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from December 12, 2006; provided, however, that if there is not an existing default in the
payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face
hereof and the next succeeding interest payment date, such Interest Payment Date. Interest will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.
If the Holder elects to require the Company to repurchase this Security pursuant to Section 5
of this Security, on a date that is after the Regular Record Date and prior to the corresponding
Interest Payment Date, interest accrued and unpaid hereon to, but not including, the applicable
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, will be paid to the Holder in whose name the Securities are
registered as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the
applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
A Holder of any Security at the close of business on a Regular Record Date shall be entitled
to receive interest on such Security on the corresponding Interest Payment Date. A Holder of any
Security which is converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the
corresponding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security whose Maturity is prior to such
Interest Payment Date) shall be entitled to receive interest on the principal amount of such
Security, notwithstanding the conversion of such Security prior to such Interest Payment Date.
However, any such Holder which surrenders any such Security for conversion during the period
between the close of business on such Regular Record Date and ending with the opening of business
on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be required to pay the Company an amount equal to
the interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted (but excluding any overdue
interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted that exists at the time such Holder
surrenders such Security for conversion), which is payable by the Company to such Holder on such
Interest Payment Date, at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder which surrenders for conversion any Security (a)
with respect to which the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after
such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (b) after
the last Regular Record Date prior to the Final Maturity Date, in either case, shall be entitled to
receive (and retain) such interest and need not pay the Company an amount equal to the interest on
the principal amount of such Security so converted at the time such Holder surrenders such Security
for conversion.
1
2. | METHOD OF PAYMENT |
The Company shall pay interest on this Security (except defaulted interest) to the person who
is the Holder of this Security at the close of business on June 1 or December 1, as the case may
be, (each, a “Regular Record Date”) immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date. The
Holder must surrender this Security to a Paying Agent to collect payment of principal. The Company
will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company may pay principal and interest in
respect of any Certificated Security by check or wire transfer payable in such money; provided,
however, that a Holder with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $2,000,000 will be paid by
wire transfer in immediately available funds at the election of such Holder if such Holder has
provided wire transfer instructions to the Trustee at least 10 Business Days prior to the Payment
Date. The Company may mail an interest check to the Holder’s registered address. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as this Security is registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee,
all payments hereon shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of
the Depositary or its nominee.
Any wire transfer instructions received by the Trustee will remain in effect until revoked by
the Holder.
3. | PAYING AGENT, REGISTRAR AND CONVERSION AGENT |
Initially, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Trustee,” which term shall include any successor
trustee under the Indenture hereinafter referred to) will act as Paying Agent, Registrar and
Conversion Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent without
notice to the Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may, subject to certain limitations
set forth in the Indenture, act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

3.75% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2013 (the “Securities”), issued under an Indenture dated as of
November 1, 2006 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated
December 12, 2006 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the

circumstances, a Holder may receive an amount in Common Stock equal to the Make Whole Premium, in
addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Security.
The Conversion Rate shall be initially equal to 44.5002 shares of Common Stock per $1,000
principal amount of Securities. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted under certain circumstances
as provided in the Indenture.
No fractional share of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of a Security. Instead,
the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture.

amount and integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount. A Holder may register the transfer of or

and any Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its written request, subject to
applicable unclaimed property law and the provisions of the Indenture. After that, Holders
entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable
abandoned property law designates another person.
10. | DISCHARGE PRIOR TO MATURITY. |
Subject to certain conditions and limitations contained in the Indenture, the Company may
discharge its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if (1) all of the Securities then
outstanding shall become due and payable at their scheduled Maturity within one year, and (2) the

the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, all of the outstanding Securities on the
date of Maturity.

Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (or such
lesser amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture). The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past
defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Security and of any Security issued upon registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or
in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security or
