Section 2.03. Form Of Reverse Of Security. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, designated as its Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes Due 2008 (herein called the “Securities”), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of April 9, 2003 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities.

The indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and ranks equally with the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

Purchase By the Company at the Option of the Holder. At the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to repurchase the Securities if a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to April 1, 2008 at 100% of the Principal Amount (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), which Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be paid in cash, shares of the Company’s Common Stock, shares of common stock of the surviving corporation or a combination of cash and shares of the applicable common stock.

Holders have the right to withdraw any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

If cash and/or shares of applicable common stock sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all Securities or portions thereof to be purchased on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date are deposited with the Paying Agent on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, upon surrender of such Security).

Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture (including without limitation the conditions of conversion of this Security set forth in Section 13.01 thereof, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, to convert the Principal Amount hereof or any portion of such principal which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into, subject to Section 13.02 of the Indenture, that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as said shares shall be constituted at the date of conversion, obtained by dividing the Principal

Amount of this Security or portion thereof to be converted by the conversion price of $41.000 (the “Conversion Price”) as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this Security, together with a Conversion Notice as provided in the Indenture, to the Company at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at the option of such Holder, the Corporate Trust Office, and, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as this Security, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or by his duly authorized attorney. No fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment and payment in cash will be made, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Securities for conversion. Securities in respect of which a Holder is exercising its right to require repurchase on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date may be converted only if such Holder withdraws its election to exercise such right in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

Upon conversion, the Company may choose to deliver cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock.

The Company will notify Holders of any event triggering the right to convert the Securities as specified above in accordance with the Indenture.

[INCLUDE IF SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY — In the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Security, including an exchange, transfer, repurchase or conversion of this Security in part only, the Trustee, as custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary.]

[INCLUDE IF SECURITY IS A RESTRICTED SECURITY — Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, at any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, upon the request of a Holder of a Restricted Security, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder of Restricted Securities, or to a prospective purchaser of any such security designated by any such Holder, to the extent required to permit compliance by any such Holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). “Rule 144A Information” shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto).]

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid Additional Interest Amounts, if any, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities, 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 the 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.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of Outstanding Securities a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of said principal hereof on or after the respective due dates expressed herein or for the enforcement of any conversion right.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Principal Amount or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of, and Additional Interest Amounts, if any, on, this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Principal Amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities are issuable only in registered form in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 above that amount, as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate Principal Amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

ARTICLE 3

THE SECURITIES

Section 3.01. Title And Terms. The aggregate Principal Amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to $750,000,000, except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Section 3.04, 3.06, 9.06, 11.06 or 13.02.

The Securities shall be known and designated as the “Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes Due 2008” of the Company. The Principal Amount shall be payable on April 1, 2008.

The Principal Amount of and Additional Interest Amounts, if any, on the Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York maintained for such purpose and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payments may be made by wire transfer or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

The Securities shall not have the benefit of a sinking fund.

The Securities shall not be superior in right of payment to, and shall rank pari passu with, all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.

Section 3.02. Denominations. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 above that amount.

Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery And Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Operating Officer or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. The Company Order shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated, and shall further specify the amount of such Securities to be issued as a Global Security or as Physical Securities. The Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 3.04. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like Principal Amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

Section 3.05. Registration; Registration Of Transfer And Exchange Restrictions On Transfer. (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 10.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” (the “Security Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.02 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, each such Security bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture (including Section 2.02, 2.05 and 3.10).

At the option of the Holder and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.05 and to Section 3.10, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. As a condition to the registration of transfer of any Restricted Securities, the Company or the Trustee may require evidence satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend on such securities.

Except as provided in the following sentence and in Section 3.10, all Securities originally issued hereunder and all Securities issued upon registration of transfer or exchange or replacement thereof shall be Restricted Securities and shall bear the legend required by Section 2.02 and 2.05, unless the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (and the Security Registrar, if other than the Trustee) a Company Order stating that the Security is not a Restricted Security and may be issued without such legend thereon. Securities which are issued upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, Securities which are not Restricted Securities shall not be Restricted Securities and shall not bear such legend.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or

exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04 or 9.06 not involving any transfer.

The Company shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Security (i) that has been surrendered for conversion or (ii) as to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn, except, where such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice provides that such Security is to be purchased only in part, the Company shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of the portion thereof not to be purchased.

(b) Beneficial ownership of every Restricted Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the legends required to be set forth on the face of each Restricted Security pursuant to Section 2.02 and 2.05, unless such restrictions on transfer shall be terminated in accordance with this Section 3.05(b) or Section 3.10. The Holder of each Restricted Security, by such Xxxxxx’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by such restrictions on transfer.

The restrictions imposed by this Section 3.05 and Section 2.02, 2.05 and 3.10 upon the transferability of any particular Restricted Security shall cease and terminate upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Restricted Security has been sold pursuant to an effective Resale Registration Statement under the Securities Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto). Any Restricted Security as to which the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate that such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon surrender of such Restricted Security for exchange to the Security Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.05, be exchanged for a new Security, of like tenor and aggregate Principal Amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legends required by Section 2.02 and 2.05. The Company shall inform the Trustee in writing of the effective date of any Resale Registration Statement registering the Securities under the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned Resale Registration Statement.

As used in the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 3.05, the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of any Restricted Security.

(c) Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents shall (i) have any duty to monitor compliance with or with respect to any federal or state or other securities or tax laws or (ii) have any duty to obtain documentation on any transfers or exchanges other than as specifically required hereunder.

Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost And Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and Principal Xxxxxx and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a

bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and Principal Xxxxxx and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

Section 3.07. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 3.08. Book-entry Provisions For Global Securities. (a) The Global Securities initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set forth on the face of the form of Security in Section 2.02.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, 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 impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of any Holder.

(b) Transfers of the Global Securities shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Security may be transferred or exchanged, in whole or in part, for Physical Securities

in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 3.10. In addition, Physical Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Securities if (A) such Depositary has notified the Company (or the Company becomes aware) that the Depositary (i) is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and, in both such cases, no successor Depositary shall have been appointed within 90 days of such notification or of the Company becoming aware of such event or (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security and the Outstanding Securities shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 and the Trustee requests that Physical Securities be issued; provided that Holders of Physical Securities offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to request that such Securities be exchanged for interests in the applicable Global Security.

(c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Security Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Securities are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the Principal Amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount.

(d) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Security, an equal aggregate Principal Amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations and the same tenor.

(e) Any Physical Security constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an interest in the Global Security pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraphs (a)(i)(x) and (c) of Section 3.10, bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Physical Securities set forth on the face of the form of Security in Section 2.02.

(f) The Holder of the Global Securities may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

Section 3.09. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The Trustee shall cancel and dispose of all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, purchase, repurchase, redemption, conversion (pursuant to Article 13 hereof) or cancellation in accordance with its customary practices. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the

indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 3.10. Special Transfer Provision. (a) Transfers to Non-U.S. Persons. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Security constituting a Restricted Security to any Non-U.S. Person to which Securities in the form of Global Securities cannot be issued:

(i) the Security Registrar shall register the transfer of any Security constituting a Restricted Security, whether or not such Security bears the legend required by Section 2.02 and 2.05, if (x) the requested transfer is after April 9, 2005 or (y) the proposed transferor has delivered to the Security Registrar a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, together with such other certifications, legal opinions or other information as the Company may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and

(ii) if the proposed transferor is an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in the Global Security, upon receipt by the Security Registrar of (x) the certificate, if any, required by paragraph (i) above and instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Security Registrar’s procedures,

whereupon (1) the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and (if the transfer does not involve a transfer of outstanding Physical Securities) a decrease in the Principal Amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred, and (b) the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount.

(b) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Security constituting a Restricted Security to a QIB (excluding transfers to Non-U.S. Persons):

(i) the Security Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on the form of Security stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the Security Registrar in writing, that the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has signed the certification provided for on the form of Security stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the Security Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Security for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Company as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and

(ii) if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Securities to be transferred consist of Physical Securities which after transfer are to be evidenced by an interest in the Global Security, upon receipt by the Security Registrar of instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Security Registrar’s procedures, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the Principal Amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Physical Securities to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Securities so transferred.

(c) Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not bearing the legends required by Section 2.02 and 2.05, the Security Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear such legends. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing the legends required by Section 2.02 and 2.05, the Security Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear such legends unless (i) the circumstance contemplated by paragraph (a)(i)(x) of this Section 3.10 exists or (ii) there is delivered to the Security Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

(d) General. By its acceptance of any Security bearing the legends required by Section 2.02 and 2.05, each Holder of such a Security acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture and in such legends and agrees that it will transfer such Security only as provided in this Indenture.

The Security Registrar shall retain, in accordance with its customary procedures, copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 3.10. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Security Registrar.

Section 3.11. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 3.12. Ranking. The indebtedness of the Company arising under or in connection with this Indenture and every outstanding Security issued under this Indenture from time to time constitutes and will constitute a senior unsecured general obligation of the Company, ranking equally with other existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company and ranking senior in right of payment to any future Indebtedness of the Company that is expressly made subordinate to the Securities by the terms of such Indebtedness. For purposes of this Section 3.12 only, “Indebtedness” means, without duplication, the principal or face amount of (i) all obligations for borrowed money, (ii) all obligations evidenced by debentures,

notes or other similar instruments, (iii) all obligations in respect of letters of credit or bankers acceptances or similar instruments (or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto), (iv) all obligations to pay the deferred purchase price of property or services, (v) all obligations as lessee which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (vi) all Indebtedness of others guaranteed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is legally responsible or liable (whether by agreement to purchase indebtedness of, or to supply funds or to invest in, others).

ARTICLE 4

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 4.01. Satisfaction And Discharge Of Indenture. This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

(a) either

(i) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (B) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited with the Trustee in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust as provided in Section 10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable and the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness evidenced by such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

(b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and

(c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of Clause (a) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.02 and the last paragraph of Section 10.03 shall survive.

Section 4.02. Application Of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 shall

be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and Additional Interest Amounts, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

ARTICLE 5

REMEDIES

Section 5.01. Events Of Default. “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(a) default in the payment of the Principal Amount (or premium, if any) or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on any Security when it becomes due and payable; or

(b) default in the payment of Additional Interest Amounts upon any Security, when such amounts become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

(c) default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition of the Company in this Indenture or the Securities (other than a default specified in (a) or (b) above), and continuance of such default for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities a written notice specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

(d) failure by the Company to give the Fundamental Change Company Notice; or

(e) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Company as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law or (iii) appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(f) the commencement by the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a

bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due.

Section 5.02. Acceleration Of Maturity; Rescission And Annulment. (a) If an Event of Default (other than those specified in Section 5.01(e) and 5.01(f)) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the Principal Amount (or premium, if any) plus Additional Interest Amounts, if any, on all the Outstanding Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid Additional Interest Amounts, if any, shall become immediately due and payable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or 5.01(f), the Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid Additional Interest Amounts, if any, on all Outstanding Securities will ipso facto become due and payable without any declaration or other Act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

(A) the Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid Additional Interest Amounts, if any, or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as applicable, on any Securities which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and

(B) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07; and

(ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid Additional Interest Amounts, if any, on Securities which have

become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 5.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid Additional Interest Amounts, if any, on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of the Securities in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

Section 5.04. Collection Of Indebtedness And Suits For Enforcement By Trustee. (a) The Company covenants that if:

(i) default is made in the payment of any Additional Interest Amounts on any Security when such amounts become due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(ii) default is made in the payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid Additional Interest Amounts, if any, at the Stated Maturity thereof or in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of any Security,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities, 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.

Payments of principal, premium, if any, and Additional Interest Amounts, if any, on the notes, if any, that are not made when due will accrue interest at the annual rate of 1% above the then applicable interest rate from the required payment date.

Section 5.05. Trustee May File Proofs Of Claim. In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder 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, to pay to the Trustee any amount due 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 6.07.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder 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 in any such proceeding.

Section 5.06. Application Of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money to Holders, 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 under Section 6.07; and

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid on the Securities for the Principal Amount, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Additional Interest Amounts, if any, as the case may be, 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.

Section 5.07. Limitation On Suits. No Holder of any Security shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder (other than in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b)), unless:

(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference

over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

Section 5.08. Unconditional Right Of Holders To Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the Principal Amount, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Additional Interest Amounts, if any, in respect of the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities or on or after any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as applicable, and to convert the Securities in accordance with Article 13, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert, shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the consent of such Holder. For purposes of clarification, prior to the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the provisions relating to the right to receive payment upon a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date may be modified in the manner set forth in Section 9.02.

Section 5.09. Restoration Of Rights And Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder 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 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.

Section 5.10. Rights And Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders 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 now 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 5.11. Delay Or Omission Not Waiver. 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 an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 5.12. Control By Holders. The Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities 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, provided that:

(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; and

(ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 5.13. Waiver Of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default:

(i) Described in Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b); or

(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 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; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 5.14. Undertaking For Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, in either case in respect of the Securities, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the 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 Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the Principal Amount or accrued but unpaid Additional Interest Amounts, if any, on any Security on or after Maturity of such Security or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.

Section 5.15. 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 or 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.

The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Section 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

Section 6.06. Money Held In Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be

under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

Section 6.07. Compensation And Reimbursement. The Company agrees:

(i) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

(iii) to indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether assessed by the Company, by any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on the Securities. Such lien shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default or an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) and 5.01(f) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including, the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under U.S. Code, Title 11 or any other similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

Section 6.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

Section 6.09. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said

supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 6.10. Resignation And Removal; Appointment Of Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11.

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Trustee for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or

(iv) a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Company Order may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of such Xxxxxx and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Company Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or

incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 6.11. Acceptance Of Appointment By Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

Section 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation Or Succession To Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

Section 6.13. Preferential Collection Of Claims Against. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

(c) Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. A Holder may exercise its right specified in Section 11.02(a) upon delivery of a written notice of repurchase (a “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”), substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, at any time from the opening of business on the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice until the close of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, stating:

(i) the certificate number of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased;

(ii) the portion of the Principal Amount of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, which portion must be in a Principal Amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof;

(iii) that such Security shall be repurchased with respect to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Securities and in this Indenture; and

(iv) in the event the Company elects, pursuant to Section 11.03, to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, in whole or in part, in shares of Applicable Stock but such portion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall ultimately be paid to such Holder entirely in cash because any of the conditions to payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in shares of Applicable Stock is not satisfied prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as set forth in Section 11.03, whether such Holder elects to (A) withdraw such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice as to some or all of the Securities to which such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice relates (stating the principal amount and certificate numbers, if any, or the appropriate Depositary procedures, if applicable, of the Securities as to which such withdrawal shall relate), or (B) receive cash in respect of the entire Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for all Securities (or portions thereof) to which such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice relates.

The delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent with, or at any time after delivery of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 11.02 only if the Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof set forth in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

If a Holder, in such Holder’s Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and in any written notice of withdrawal delivered by such Holder pursuant to the terms of Section 11.04 fails to indicate such Holder’s choice with respect to the election set forth in Section 11.02(c)(iv), such Holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive cash in respect of the entire Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for all Securities subject to such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in the circumstances set forth in such Section 11.02(c)(iv).

The Company shall repurchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 11.02, a portion of a Security, so long as the Principal Amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a Security also apply to the repurchase of such portion of such Security.

Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.02 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of delivery of the Security; provided, however, that if the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is delivered after a date which is 2 Business Days prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, such payment may be made as promptly after such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date as is practicable.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 11.02(c) shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 11.04.

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

Section 11.03. The Company’s Right To Elect Manner Of Payment Of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. (a) The Securities to be repurchased with respect to any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 11.02(a) may be paid for at the election of the Company in cash or shares of Applicable Stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of Applicable Stock, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.03(b). The Company shall designate, in the notice of Fundamental Change delivered pursuant to Section 11.02(b), whether the Company will repurchase the Securities for cash or shares of Applicable Stock, or, if a combination thereof, the percentages of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of which it will pay in cash or shares of Applicable Stock; provided, however, that the Company will pay cash for fractional interests in shares of Applicable Stock. For purposes of determining the existence of potential fractional interests, all Securities subject to repurchase by the Company held by a Holder shall be considered together (no matter how many separate certificates are to be presented). Each Holder whose Securities are repurchased pursuant to Section 11.02 shall receive the same percentage of cash or shares of Applicable Stock in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such Securities, except (i) as provided in this Section 11.03(a) with regard to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Applicable Stock and (ii) in the event that the Company is unable to purchase the Securities of a Holder or Holders for shares of Applicable Stock because any necessary qualifications or registrations of the shares of Applicable Stock under applicable securities laws cannot be obtained, the Company may purchase the Securities of such Holder or Holders for cash. The Company may not change its election with respect to the consideration (or components or percentages of components thereof) to be paid once the Company has given its notice of Fundamental Change to Holders except in the event of a failure to satisfy, prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change

Repurchase Date, any condition to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in whole or in part, in shares of Applicable Stock.

(b) If the Company elects to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price by delivering shares of Applicable Stock in lieu of cash or by delivering a combination of Applicable Stock and cash, the number of shares of Applicable Stock to be issued shall be equal to the relevant amount of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price to be paid divided by 97.5% of the average of the Sale Prices of the Applicable Stock for the 5 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the second Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

(c) The Company will not issue any fraction of a share of Applicable Stock in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Instead, the Company will make a cash payment (calculated to the nearest cent) equal to such fraction multiplied by the Sale Price of one share of Applicable Stock on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. If a Holder elects to have more than one Security purchased, the number of shares of Applicable Stock shall be based on the aggregate amount of Securities to be purchased.

(d) The Company’s right to exercise its election to repurchase Securities through the issuance of shares of Applicable Stock shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date:

(i) the registration of such shares of Applicable Stock to be issued upon repurchase under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, in each case, if required;

(ii) any qualification or registration of such shares of Applicable Stock to be issued upon repurchase under applicable state securities laws, if necessary, or the availability of an exemption from such qualification and registration;

(iii) the listing of such shares of Applicable Stock on a United States national securities exchange or the quotation of such shares of Applicable Stock on an inter-dealer quotation system of any registered United States national securities association; and

(iv) the receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate stating (A): that the terms of the issuance of the shares of Applicable Stock are in conformity with this Indenture; (B) that the shares of Applicable Stock to be issued in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of Securities, will be validly issued, fully paid, non assessable and free from preemptive rights; (C) that the conditions above and the condition set forth in the second succeeding sentence have been satisfied in all material respects; and (D) the number of shares of Applicable Stock to be issued for each $1,000 Principal Amount of Securities and the Sale Price of a share of Applicable Stock on each Trading Day during the period commencing on the first Trading Day of the period during which the Sale Price is calculated and ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

(v) the receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel stating that: (A) the shares of Applicable Stock to be issued by the Company in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of Securities have been duly authorized, and when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of Securities, will be validly issued, fully paid and non assessable and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, free from preemptive rights under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or any material contract; and (B) the conditions in clause (i) above have been satisfied in all material respects.

If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied with respect to a Holder or Holders prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, and the Company has elected to repurchase the Securities pursuant to this Section 11.03, in whole or in part, through the issuance of shares of Applicable Stock, the Company shall pay the entire Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Securities of such Holder or Holders in cash. Upon determination of the actual number of shares of Applicable Stock to be issued upon repurchase of Securities, the Company shall be required to disseminate a press release through a public medium as is customary for such a press release.

Section 11.04. Effect Of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice specified in Section 11.02(c), the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Security. Such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Security (provided the conditions in Section 11.02(c) have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 11.02(c). Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 13 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs.

A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Fundamental Change Company Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date specifying:

(i) the certificate number of the Security in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;

(ii) the Principal Amount of the Security with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; and

(iii) the Principal Amount, if any, of such Security which remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and which has been or will be delivered for repurchase by the Company.

There shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to Section 11.02 if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving, by the Holders of such Securities, of the required Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice) and is continuing an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Securities). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders of any Securities (x) with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Securities) in which case, upon such return, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 11.05. Deposit Of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein) an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) and/or Applicable Stock, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, cash and/or Applicable Stock, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any Securities for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to Section 11.04, then, immediately after such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, such Securities will cease to be outstanding, and the rights of the Holders in respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon delivery of such Securities).

As soon as practicable on and after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall deliver to each Holder entitled to receive shares of Applicable Stock through the Paying Agent, a certificate (other than in the case of Holders of Securities in book-entry form with the Depositary, which shares shall be delivered in accordance with the Depositary customary practices) for the number of full shares of Applicable Stock issuable in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and cash in lieu of any fractional interests. The person in whose name the certificate for the shares of Applicable Stock is registered shall be treated as a holder of record of Applicable Stock on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on the shares of Applicable Stock the record date for which occurred on or prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

Section 11.06. Securities Repurchased In Part. Any Security which is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory

to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Xxxxxx’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and 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 any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate Principal Amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the Principal Amount of the Security so surrendered which is not purchased.

Section 11.07. Covenant To Comply With Securities Laws Upon Repurchase Of Securities. In connection with any offer to repurchase Securities under Section 11.02 hereof (provided that such offer or repurchase constitutes an “issuer tender offer” for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer or purchase), and subject to any exemptions under applicable law, the Company shall (i) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 (or any successor provision) under the Exchange Act, (ii) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act, and (iii) otherwise comply with all Federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 11.02 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 11.02.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Article 11, the Company’s compliance with such laws and regulations including the extension of the payment or notice periods contemplated by this Article, shall not in and of itself cause a breach of their obligations under this Article 11.

Section 11.08. Repayment To The Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any cash or shares of Applicable Stock that remains unclaimed, together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash or shares of Applicable Stock deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 11.05 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date then on the Business Day following Fundamental Change Repurchase Date the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess to the Company.

ARTICLE 12

PAYMENTS OF ADDITIONAL INTEREST AMOUNTS ON THE SECURITIES

Section 12.01. Payment Of Additional Interest Amounts; Interest Rights Preserved. (a) Accrued but unpaid Additional Interest Amounts, if any, on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Additional Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose. Each installment of Additional Interest Amounts, if any on any Security shall be made by check mailed to the address of the Holder specified in the register of Securities, or, at the option of the Holder, at the Corporate Trust Office, in such lawful money of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, with respect to any Holder of Securities with an aggregate

principal amount in excess of $5,000,000, at the request of such Holder in writing to the Company, Additional Interest Amounts, if any on such Holder’s Securities shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds in accordance with the written wire transfer instruction supplied by such Holder from time to time to the Trustee and Paying Agent (if different from the Trustee) at least two days prior to the applicable Regular Record Date. In the case of a permanent Global Security, interest payable on any Additional Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Depositary, with respect to that portion of such permanent Global Security held for its account by Cede & Co. for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in respect of such permanent Global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.

ARTICLE 13

CONVERSION

Section 13.01. Right To Convert. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, at any time following the Issue Date of the Securities hereunder through the close of business on the Final Maturity Date to convert the Principal Amount of any such Securities, or any portion of such Principal Amount which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at the Conversion Price then in effect, if:

(i) during any fiscal quarter (beginning with the third fiscal quarter of 2003) the Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days in the 30 Trading Day period ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter exceeds 110% of the Conversion Price in effect as of the 30^th Trading Day of that period; or

(ii) during the period beginning January 1, 2008 through the Final Maturity Date, the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the immediately preceding Trading Day was 110% or more of the then current Conversion Price; or

(iii) as provided in Section 13.01(b).

(b) In addition, in the event that:

(i) (A) the Company distributes to Holders of Common Stock rights entitling them to purchase Common Stock at less than the average Sale Price of the Common Stock for the 10 Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration for such distribution;

(B) the Company distributes to Holders of Common Stock cash or other assets, debt securities or certain rights to purchase the Company’s securities, which distribution has a per share value as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company exceeding 15% of the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the declaration for such distribution; or

(C) a Fundamental Change occurs but Holders of Securities do not have the right to require the Company to purchase their Securities as a result of such Fundamental Change, because of the provisions set forth in Section 11.02(a);

then, in each case, the Company must notify, in writing, Holders of Securities of the occurrence of such an event at least 20 days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for any distribution specified in clauses (A) and (B) or within 30 days of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change specified in clause (C), as the case may be. Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time (1) until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date or the date of announcement by the Company that the distribution will not take place, in the case of (A) and (B) above or (2) within 30 days of the Fundamental Change Company Notice, in the case of (C) above. In the case of a (A) and (B) above, no adjustment shall be made to the ability of a Holder of Securities to convert if such Holder may participate in the distribution without conversion.

(ii) the Company becomes party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to which the Common Stock of the Company would be converted into cash, securities or other property, a Holder may surrender the Securities for conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction until 15 days after the actual date of the transaction. If the Company becomes party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock of the Company would be converted into cash, securities or other property, then at the effective time of the transaction, the right to convert the Securities into Common Stock shall be changed into a right to convert a Security into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property which the Holder would have received if the Holder had converted such Securities immediately prior to the transaction. If the transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, the Holder shall have the rights set forth in Article 11 above.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice exercising such Holder’s option to require the Company to repurchase such Security may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with Article 11 hereof prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be.

Section 13.02. Conversion Procedure. (a) Each Security shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock. The Security will be converted into shares Common Stock at the Conversion Price therefor.

(b) In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Securities in certificated form, the Holder of any such Securities to be converted, in whole or in part, shall:

(i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided on the back of the Security (the “Conversion Notice”) and deliver such notice to a Conversion Agent;

(ii) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent;

(iii) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, if required; and

(iv) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required.

The date on which the Holder satisfies all of the requirements set forth in (i) through (iv) above is the “Conversion Date.” Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. All such Securities surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Securities, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or his duly authorized attorney.

In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any interest in Securities in global form, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary’s book-entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Trustee or Conversion Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by this Section 13.02 and any transfer taxes if required pursuant to Section 13.06.

(c) As promptly as practicable after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above (but in no event later than 3 Business Days after the Conversion Date), subject to compliance with any restrictions on transfer if shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in a name other than that of the Holder (as if such transfer were a transfer of the Securities (or portion thereof) so converted), the Company shall issue and shall deliver to such Holder at the office of the Conversion Agent, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Securities or portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Article and a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion, as provided in Section 13.03. In case any Securities of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Securities so surrendered, without charge to him, new Securities in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Securities.

Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Securities (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in this Section 13.02 have been satisfied as to such Securities (or portion thereof), and the person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on said date the Holder of record of the shares represented thereby; provided, however, that in case of any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, the person or persons in whose name the certificate or certificates for such shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become the record Holder thereof for all purposes on the next day on which such stock transfer books are

open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date upon which such Securities shall be surrendered.

(d) Upon the conversion of an interest in Global Securities, the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company) shall make a notation on such Global Securities as to the reduction in the Principal Xxxxxx represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Securities effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(e) Each stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities that are Restricted Securities shall bear the legend in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto.

Section 13.03. Cash Payments In Lieu Of Fractional Shares. The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities. If multiple Securities shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share of stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Securities, the Company shall make payment therefor in cash equal to the fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable multiplied by the Current Market Price (as defined in Section 13.05(g) to the Holder of Securities.

Section 13.04. Adjustment Of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(a) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution. Such reduction becomes effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 13.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, issue to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them (for a period of not more than 60 days after such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share) less than the Sale Price of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Price

shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date of such announcement by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of announcement, plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Sale Price of Common stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance determined by multiplying such total number of shares so offered by the exercise price of such rights or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such Sale Price), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of announcement plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase or into which convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, securities so offered are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date of announcement of such issuance.

To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Sale Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(c) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased. In each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision or combination. Such reduction or increase, as the case may be, shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(d) (i) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Securities are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 13.04(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 13.04(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 13.04(a)) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 13.04(d)) called the “Distributed Securities”), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and

(B) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock.

Such reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date for such distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 13.04(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock.

Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of securities pursuant to this Article 13 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of common stock or preferred stock purchase rights, if any, as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of Section 13.04(b) or this Section 13.04(d).

(ii) For the purposes of this Section 13.04(d), Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (A) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (B) are not exercisable; and (C) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 13.04(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.04(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any

is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 13.04(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.04(d) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all applicable holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 13.04(d) and Section 13.04(a), 13.04(b), and 13.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.04(d) is applicable that also includes (x) shares of Common Stock, (y) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to which Section 13.04(b) applies (or any combination thereof), or (z) a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock to which Section 13.04(c) applies or shall be deemed instead to be:

(A) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants, other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or such subdivision or combination to which Section 13.04(a), 13.04(b), and 13.04(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 13.04(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by,

(B) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or such subdivision or combination (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Section 13.04(a), 13.04(b), and 13.04(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except:

(1) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (x) “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders

entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution,” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 13.04(a), (y) “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants,” within the meaning of Section 13.04(b) and (z) “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” and “the day upon which such combination becomes effective” within the meaning of Section 13.04(c); and

(2) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 13.04(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution.

(e) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its shares of Common Stock, cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 13.05 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 13.04(d)), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with:

(i) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of shares of Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.04(e) has been made; and

(ii) the aggregate amount of any cash, plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) of other consideration paid in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 13.04(f) has been made;

exceeds 10% of the product of the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date with respect to such distribution, times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (such excess over 10%, the “Excess Amount”), then, and in each case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business of such Record Date by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date, less an amount equal to the quotient of (y) the Excess Amount and (z) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date.

(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that combined together with:

(i) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.04(f) has been made, and

(ii) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of shares of Common Stock made exclusively in cash within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 13.04(e) has been made;

exceeds 10% of the product of the Sale Price of the Common Stock as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended), times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time and (2) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time. Such reduction (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Business Day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such tender offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 13.04(f) to any

tender offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 13.04(f).

(g) For purposes of this Section 13.04, the following terms shall have the meaning indicated:

(1) “Current Market Price” on any date means the average of the Sales Prices per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the day before the record date (or, if earlier, the Ex-Dividend date) with respect to any distribution, issuance or other event requiring such computation.

(2) “fair market value” shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction.

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

(h) The Company may make such decreases in the Conversion Price, in addition to any adjustments required by Section 13.04(a), 13.04(b), 13.04(c), 13.04(d), 13.04(e) or 13.04(f), as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

(i) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days, the decrease is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such decrease would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Price is decreased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to Holders of record of the Securities a notice of the decrease at least 15 days prior to the date the decreased Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the decreased Conversion Price and the period during which it will be in effect.

(j) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 13.04(j) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article 13 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest. To the

extent the Securities become convertible into cash, assets, property or securities (other than capital stock of the Company), no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash, assets, property or such securities. Interest will not accrue on the cash.

(k) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Price and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Price of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price to each Holder of Securities at such Holder’s last address appearing on the list of Security holders provided for in Section 3.05 of this Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(l) In any case in which this Section 13.04 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a Record Date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Securities converted after such Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 13.03.

(m) For purposes of this Section 13.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(n) No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to this Section 13.04 if the Holders of the Securities may participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.04.

Section 13.05. Effect Of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger Or Sale. If any of the following events occur, namely:

(i) any reclassification or change of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities (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, or any other change for which an adjustment is provided in Section 13.04(c));

(ii) any consolidation or merger or combination to which the Company is a party other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than 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) in outstanding shares of Common Stock; or

(iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to any other person 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

then the Company or the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing that such Securities shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Securities (assuming, for such purposes, a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available to convert all such Securities) immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“nonelecting share”), then for the purposes of this Section 13.05, the kind and amount of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). 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 13. If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

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 maintained by the Registrar, 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 reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. If this Section 13.05 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 13.04 shall not apply.

Section 13.06. Taxes On Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates on conversions of Securities shall be made without charge to the converting Holder for any documentary, transfer, stamp or any similar tax in respect of the issue thereof, and the Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the Holder of any Securities converted, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 13.07. Reservation Of Shares; Shares To Be Fully Paid; Compliance With Governmental Requirements; Listing Of Common Stock. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Securities from time to time as such Securities are presented for conversion (assuming that, at the time of the computation of such number of shares or securities, all such Securities would be held by a single Holder).

Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Securities shall be newly issued shares or Treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free from any lien or adverse claim.

The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to list or cause to have quoted any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of Securities on each national securities exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

Section 13.08. Responsibility Of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine the Conversion Price or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Securities; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any

Securities for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 13.05 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Securities after any event referred to in such Section 13.05 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

Section 13.09. Notice To Holders Prior To Certain Actions. In case,

(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 13.04; or

(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants; or

(c) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries; or

(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries;

then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent and to be mailed to each Holder of Securities at such Holder’s address appearing on the list of Security holders provided for in Section 3.05 of this Indenture, as promptly as practicable but in any event at least 15 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

Section 13.10. Cash Conversion Option.

(a) In the event that, on or prior to the date that is five days prior to the Stated Maturity of a Security (the “Final Notice Date”), a Holder elects to convert all or any portion of a Security into shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 13.01, the Company may choose to satisfy all of its conversion obligation (the “Conversion Obligation”) in cash if the Company notifies such Holder through the Trustee of the dollar amount to be satisfied in cash at any time on or before the date that is two Business Days following receipt of written notice of conversion as specified in Section 13.02 (such period, the “Cash Settlement Notice Period”). If the Company timely elects to pay cash for any portion of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Holder, the Holder may retract the Conversion Notice at any time during the two Business Day period beginning on the day after the final day of the Cash Settlement Notice Period (a “Conversion Retraction Period”); no such retraction may be made (and a conversion notice shall be irrevocable) if the Company does not elect to deliver cash in lieu of shares (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares). If the conversion notice has not been retracted, then settlement (in cash) will occur on the Business Day following the final Trading Day of the five Trading Day period beginning on the first Trading Day after the final day of the Conversion Retraction Period (the “Cash Settlement Averaging Period”). Settlement amounts will be computed as follows:

(i) if the Company elects to satisfy the Conversion Obligation in shares of Common Stock, the Company will deliver to such Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of the aggregate original Principal Amount of the Securities to be converted divided by the Conversion Price;

(ii) if the Company elects to satisfy the Conversion Obligation in cash, the Company will deliver to such Holder cash in an amount equal to the product of:

(A) a number equal to the quotient of the aggregate original Principal Amount of Securities to be converted divided by the Conversion Price, and

(B) the average Sale Price of the Common Stock during the Cash Settlement Averaging Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice exercising such Holder’s option to require the Company to repurchase such Security may be converted as described in this Section 13.10(a) only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of Article 11 hereof.

(b) If a Holder elects to convert all or any portion of a Security into shares of Common Stock after the Final Notice Date, the Company may choose to satisfy all of the Conversion Obligation in cash provided that the Company notifies such Holder through the Trustee of the dollar amount to be satisfied in cash at any time on or before the final day of the Cash Settlement Notice Period. Settlement amounts will be computed and settlement dates will be determined in the same manner as set forth in (a) above except that the “Cash Settlement Averaging Period” shall be the 5 Trading Day period beginning on the first Trading Day after the Stated Maturity. If the Company timely elects to pay cash for any portion of the shares of Common Stock

otherwise issuable to the Holder, the Holder may retract the Conversion Notice at any time during the Conversion Retraction Period; no such retraction may be made (and a conversion notice shall be irrevocable) if the Company does not elect to deliver cash in lieu of shares (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares). If the conversion notice has not been retracted, then settlement (in cash) will occur on the Business Day following the final day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period.

Section 13.11. Company Determination Final. Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors must make pursuant to this Article 13 shall be conclusive if made in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of this Article, absent manifest error, and set forth in a Board Resolution.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

Re: Yahoo! Inc. (the “Company”)
Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes Due 2008 (the “Notes”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our proposed sale of $[ ] aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes, we confirm that such sale has been effected pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, accordingly, we represent that:
