continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The
Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon
payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such money. If

being repurchased in part.
No service charge shall be made for any transfer, exchange or conversion of Securities, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.11 or Section 9.05 of the Base Indenture or

payment of principal on the Securities, as the case may be, in each case, plus, if applicable,
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable as herein provided upon Repurchase Upon Fundamental
Change or the Stated Maturity for the payment of principal on the Securities, then (unless there
shall be a Default in the payment of such aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or
principal amount, or of such accrued and unpaid interest), except as otherwise provided herein, on
and after such date such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, interest on such
Securities shall cease to accrue, and such Securities shall be deemed paid whether or not such
Securities are delivered to the Paying Agent. Thereafter, all rights of the Holders of such
Securities shall terminate with respect to such Securities, other than the right to receive the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or principal amount, as the case may be, plus, if applicable,
such accrued and unpaid interest, in accordance with this Indenture.
If a Security is converted in accordance with Article XI, then, from and after the time of
such conversion on the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding, and interest,
if any, shall cease to accrue on such Security unless there shall be a Default in the payment or
delivery of the consideration payable or deliverable hereunder upon such conversion.

prohibited by applicable statute or case law, interest on such defaulted interest at the rate
provided in the Securities. The Company may pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such
defaulted interest) to the persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent record date as provided
in Section 3.05(b) of the Base Indenture.
Section 2.10 CUSIP Numbers.
The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more CUSIP numbers, and, if so, the
Trustee shall use the CUSIP numbers in notices of repurchase or exchange as a convenience to
Holders; provided, however, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to
the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers printed on the notice or on the Securities;
provided further, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on
the Securities, and the effectiveness of any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in, or
omission of, such CUSIP numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in
the CUSIP numbers.
Section 2.11 Deposit of Moneys.
Prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date, the Stated Maturity

segregate and hold in trust in accordance with Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture) money, in funds
immediately available on such date, sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest
Payment Date, the Stated Maturity for the payment of principal on the Securities or Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to
remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, the Stated Maturity for the payment of
principal on the Securities or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be. For
purposes of the Securities, the terms “at or
-9-
prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on” shall be deemed to replace the first instance, in
each case, of the words “on or before” in the first paragraph of Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture
and “on or prior to” in the second paragraph of Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture.
Section 2.12 Global Securities.
The Securities shall initially be issued in the form of one of more Global Securities, and the
provisions of the Base Indenture (including, but not limited to, Section 3.06 and Section 3.08)
relating to Global Securities shall apply to the Securities.
Section 2.13 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 obligation of the Company, ranking equally with other existing and future senior
unsecured indebtedness of the Company and ranking senior to any existing or future subordinated
indebtedness of the Company.
Section 2.14 Additional Securities.
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Sections 2.01 and
2.02 Reference source not found. hereof, reopen the Securities and issue additional Securities
hereunder with the same terms and conditions (except for any difference in the issue price therefor
and interest accrued prior to the date of issuance thereof) and with the same CUSIP number as the
Securities initially issued hereunder in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, which will form
the same series with the Securities initially issued hereunder, so long as such additional
Securities constitute the same issue as the Securities initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. The Securities initially issued hereunder and any such additional Securities
would rank equally and ratably and would be treated as a single series of debt securities for all
purposes under the Indenture.
ARTICLE III. NO REDEMPTION; REPURCHASE UPON A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE
Section 3.01 No Right of Redemption.
The Securities are not subject to redemption at the Company’s option, and Article 11 of the
Base Indenture shall not apply to the Securities.
Section 3.02 Repurchase at Option of Holder Upon a Fundamental Change.
(A) In the event any Fundamental Change (as defined below) shall occur, each Holder of
Securities shall have the right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”), at such Holder’s
option, to require the Company to repurchase (a “Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change”) all of such
Holder’s Securities (or portions thereof that are integral multiples of $1,000 in principal
amount), on a date selected by the Company (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”), which
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date shall be no later than thirty five (35) days, nor earlier than
twenty (20) days, after the date the Fundamental Change Notice
-10-
(as defined below) is mailed in accordance with Section 3.02(B), at a price, payable in cash,
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Securities (or portions thereof)
to be so repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), upon:
(i) delivery to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent), or to a
Paying Agent designated by the Company for such purpose in the Fundamental Change Notice,
no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, of a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, in the form
set forth in the Securities or any other form of written notice substantially similar
thereto, in each case, duly completed and signed, with appropriate signature guarantee,
stating:
(a) the certificate number(s) of the Securities which the Holder will deliver
to be repurchased, if such Securities are in the form of Physical Securities;
(b) the principal amount of Securities to be repurchased, which must be $1,000
or an integral multiple thereof; and
(c) that such principal amount of Securities are to be repurchased pursuant to
the terms and conditions specified in Section 3.02 of this Supplemental Indenture;
and
(ii) delivery to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent), or to a
Paying Agent designated by the Company for such purpose in the Fundamental Change Notice,
at any time after the delivery of such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, of such
Securities (together with all necessary endorsements) with respect to which the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Right is being exercised;
provided, however, that if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is after a Regular Record Date
for the payment of an installment of interest and on or before the related Interest Payment Date,
then the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be
paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Securities at the close of
business on such Regular Record Date (without any surrender of such Securities by such Holder), and
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to the principal amount of Securities
subject to such Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change.
If such Securities are held in book-entry form through the Depository for the Securities, the
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice shall comply with applicable procedures of such Depository.
Upon such delivery of Securities to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent) or
such Paying Agent, such Holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company or such Paying Agent,
as the case may be, a nontransferable receipt of deposit evidencing such delivery.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder that has delivered the Fundamental
Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.02(A) to the Company (if it is acting as its
own Paying Agent) or to a Paying Agent designated by the Company for such
-11-
purpose in the Fundamental Change Notice shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change
Purchase Notice by delivery, at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, of a written notice of withdrawal to
the Company (if acting as its own Paying Agent) or the Paying Agent, which notice shall contain the
information specified in Section 3.02(B)(xi).
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental
Change Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
(B) Within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company
shall mail, or cause to be mailed, to all Holders of record of the Securities at their addresses
shown in the Security Register for the Securities, to beneficial owners as required by applicable
law, and to the Trustee, a notice (the “Fundamental Change Notice”) of the occurrence of such
Fundamental Change and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right arising as a result thereof. The
Company shall deliver a copy of the Fundamental Change Notice to the Trustee and shall cause a copy
to be published at the expense of the Company in The New York Times or The Wall Street
Journal or another newspaper of national circulation.
Each Fundamental Change Notice shall state:
(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii) the date of such Fundamental Change;
(iii) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
(iv) the date by which the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right must be exercised;
(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
(vi) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;
(vii) a description of the procedures which a Holder must follow to exercise the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Right;
(viii) that, in order to exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, the
Securities must be surrendered for payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
payable as herein provided;
(ix) that the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Security as to which a
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn will be paid as
promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the later of such Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date and the time of delivery of the Security (together with all necessary
endorsements) as described in clause (viii) above;
-12-
(x) that, except as otherwise provided herein, on and after such Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of the consideration
payable as herein provided upon Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change), interest on
Securities subject to Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change will cease to accrue, and all
rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate, other than the right to
receive, in accordance herewith, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
(xi) that a Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election in the Fundamental
Change Purchase Notice if the Company (if acting as its own Paying Agent), or the Paying
Agent receives, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, a letter or telegram, telex or facsimile
transmission (receipt of which is confirmed and promptly followed by a letter) setting
forth (I) the name of such Holder, (II) a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its
election to have Securities purchased by the Company on such Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, (III) the certificate number(s) of
such Securities to be so withdrawn, if such Securities are in the form of Physical
Securities, (IV) the principal amount of the Securities of such Holder to be so withdrawn,
which amount must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof and (V) the principal amount,
if any, of the Securities of such Holder that remain subject to the Fundamental Change
Purchase Notice delivered by such Holder in accordance with this Section 3.02, which
amount must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof;
(xii) the applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the applicable Conversion
Rate that will result from such Fundamental Change;
(xiii) that Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is
given by a Holder may be converted pursuant to Article XI, if otherwise convertible in
accordance with Article XI, only if such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been
withdrawn in accordance with this Section 3.02 or if there shall be a Default in the
payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price payable as herein provided upon
Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change; and
(xiv) the CUSIP number or numbers, as the case may be, of the Securities.
At the Company’s request (in the form of a Company Order), upon reasonable prior notice, the
Trustee shall mail such Fundamental Change Notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s
expense; provided, however, that the form and content of such Fundamental Change Notice shall be
prepared by the Company.
No failure of the Company to give a Fundamental Change Notice shall limit any Holder’s right
to exercise a Fundamental Change Repurchase Right.
(C) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.02, the Company shall pay, or cause to be
paid, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to each Security as to which the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Right shall have been exercised to the Holder thereof as
-13-
promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the later of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date and the time such Security is surrendered to the Paying Agent.
(D) Prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the
Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust in accordance with Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture) money, in funds
immediately available on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, sufficient to pay the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price for all of the Securities that are to be repurchased by the Company on such
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change. The Paying
Agent shall return to the Company, as soon as practicable, any money not required for that purpose.
(E) Once the Fundamental Change Notice and the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice have been
duly given in accordance with this Section 3.02, the Securities to be repurchased pursuant to a
Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change shall, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, become due and
payable in accordance herewith, and, on and after such date (unless there shall be a Default in the
payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of such Securities), except as
otherwise herein provided, such Securities shall cease to bear interest, and all rights of the
Holders of such Securities shall terminate, other than the right to receive, in accordance
herewith, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of such Securities.
(F) Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been duly
delivered in accordance with this Section 3.02 may be converted pursuant to Article XI, if
otherwise convertible in accordance with Article XI, only if such Fundamental Change Purchase
Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with this Section 3.02 or if there shall be a Default in
the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of such Securities.
(G) If any Security shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for Repurchase Upon Fundamental
Change, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Security shall, until paid, bear
interest, payable in cash, at the rate borne by such Security on the principal amount of such
Security, and such Security shall continue to be convertible pursuant to Article XI.
(H) Any Security which is to be submitted for Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change only in part
shall be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.02 (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 its attorney duly authorized in writing), and the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate (upon receipt of a Company Order) and
make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security
or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, of the same tenor and in
aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such Security not duly submitted for Repurchase
Upon Fundamental Change.
(I) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no purchase of any
Securities pursuant to this Section 3.02 if the principal amount of the Securities has been
accelerated pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture (except in the case of an Event of
-14-
Default resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price with respect to such Securities) and such acceleration shall not have been
rescinded on or before the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Paying Agent will
promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities tendered to it for Repurchase Upon
Fundamental Change during the continuance of such an acceleration.
(J) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Repurchase Upon a Fundamental
Change is determined to constitute a tender offer, the Company shall comply with all applicable
tender offer rules under the Exchange Act, including Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E thereunder, and
with all other applicable laws, and will file a Schedule TO or any other schedules required under
the Exchange Act or any other applicable laws.
(K) As used herein and in the Securities, a “Fundamental Change” shall be deemed to have
occurred upon the occurrence of either a “Change in Control” or a “Termination of Trading.”
(i) A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as:
(a) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Exchange Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the total
outstanding voting power of all of the Company’s Voting Stock; or
(b) there occurs a sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Company’s property or assets to any “person” or “group” (as such
terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), including any group acting
for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of securities within the meaning
of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act; or
(c) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, another person or any person
consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, unless either:
(1) the persons that “beneficially owned” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately
prior to such consolidation or merger, “beneficially own,” directly or indirectly,
immediately after such consolidation or merger, shares of the surviving or continuing
corporation’s Voting Stock representing at least a majority of the total outstanding voting
power of all Voting Stock of the surviving or continuing corporation in substantially the
same proportion as such ownership immediately prior to such consolidation or merger; or
(2) at least ninety percent (90%) of the consideration (other than cash payments for
fractional shares or pursuant to statutory appraisal rights) in such consolidation or merger
consists of common stock and any associated rights (or depositary receipts representing such
securities) traded on a U.S. national securities exchange (or which will be so traded when
issued or exchanged in connection with such consolidation or merger), and, as a result of
such consolidation or merger, the Securities
-15-
become convertible into cash and, if applicable, such common stock and associated
rights (or depositary receipts representing such securities) (subject to Section 11.02)
(such a consolidation or merger that satisfies the conditions set forth in this clause (2),
a “Listed Stock Business Combination”); or
(d) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of
Directors (determined, solely for purposes of this clause (d) without regard to the words
“or any authorized committee of the Board of Directors of such Person or any officer of
such Person duly authorized by the Board of Directors of such Person to take a specific
action” in such definition) does not consist of Continuing Directors; or
(e) the Company is liquidated or dissolved or the holders of the Company’s Capital
Stock approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
(ii) A “Termination of Trading” shall occur if the Common Stock of the Company (or
other securities into which the Securities are then convertible) is no longer listed for
trading on a U.S. national securities exchange.

ARTICLE XI. CONVERSION
Section 11.01 Conversion Privilege; Restrictive Legends.
(A) Subject to the provisions of Article III and this Article XI, the Securities shall be
convertible, in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, into cash and, if applicable, shares
of Common Stock in accordance with this Article XI and as set forth below if any of the following
conditions are satisfied:
-20-
(i) Conversion Based on Closing Sale Price of Common Stock. Prior to the close of
business on the Business Day immediately preceding the State Maturity for the payment of
principal and subject to earlier repurchase pursuant to Article III, the Securities may
be surrendered for conversion during any calendar quarter (and only during that quarter)
after the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2008, if the Closing Sale Price for each of
twenty (20) or more Trading Days in a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days
ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds one
hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Conversion Price in effect on the last Trading
Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. Solely for purposes of determining
whether the Securities shall have become convertible pursuant to this Section
11.01(A)(i), the Board of Directors shall, in its good faith determination, which shall
be described in a Board Resolution, make appropriate adjustments to the Closing Sale
Price and/or such Conversion Price used to determine whether the Securities shall have
become convertible pursuant to this Section 11.01(A)(i) to account for any adjustments to
the Conversion Rate that shall have become effective, or any event requiring an
adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex Date (or effective date) of such event
occurs, during the period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on the last
Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter.
(ii) Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Note Trading Price Condition. Prior to the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the State Maturity for the
payment of principal and subject to earlier repurchase pursuant to Article III, the
Securities may be surrendered for conversion during the five (5) consecutive Business
Days immediately after any five (5) consecutive Trading Day period (such five (5)
consecutive Trading Day period, the “Note Measurement Period”) in which the average
Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities was equal to or less than
ninety seven percent (97%) of the average Conversion Value per $1,000 principal amount of
Securities (as defined below) during the Note Measurement Period (such condition, the
“Note Trading Price Condition”). The Bid Solicitation Agent shall not have any
obligation to determine the Trading Price unless the Company has requested such
determination in a Company Order, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such
request unless a Holder of Securities provides the Company with reasonable evidence that
the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities would be equal to or less
than ninety seven percent (97%) of the Conversion Value per $1,000 principal amount of
Securities on that Trading Day. Upon receipt of such evidence, the Company shall
instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent in a Company Order to determine the Trading Price per
$1,000 principal amount of the Securities for each of the five (5) successive Trading
Days immediately after the Company receives such evidence and on each Trading Day
thereafter until the first Trading Day on which the Note Trading Price Condition is no
longer satisfied. The Bid Solicitation Agent will have no liability for the accuracy,
sufficiency or availability of information it obtains or fails to obtain at the Company’s
request, including any bid quotation or Trading Price with respect to the Securities.
For purposes of this paragraph, the “Conversion Value” per $1,000 principal amount of
Securities, on a given Trading
Day, means the product of the Closing Sale Price on such Trading Day and the
Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day.
-21-
(iii) Conversion Upon Certain Distributions. If the Company takes any action, or
becomes aware of any event, that would require an adjustment to the Conversion Rate
pursuant to Sections 11.05(b), 11.05(c) or 11.05(d) (and in the case of an event
described in Section 11.05(c) or Section 11.05(d), so long as the relevant dividend or
distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price the Trading
Day immediately preceding the date that such distribution was first publicly announced),
then the Company shall mail to Holders, in accordance with Section 15.04 of the Base
Indenture, and to the Trustee written notice of the action or event at least 30 Business
Days before the record date, effective date or expiration date, as the case may be, of
the relevant transaction. Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion
beginning on the date the Company mails such notice until the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Ex Date of the transaction or the expiration date
for such transaction or until the Company announces that such transaction will not take
place.
(iv) Conversion Upon Occurrence of Certain Corporate Transactions. If (x) a
Fundamental Change occurs, (y) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or (z) the Company
is party to a consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger or binding share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into or exchanged for, or
would constitute solely the right to receive, cash, securities or other property, then,
in each case, a Holder may surrender its Securities for conversion at any time during the
following periods:
(a) in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, during the Make-Whole Conversion
Period;
(b) in the case of a Fundamental Change, the period that begins on, and includes, the
30th Business Day before the date the Company originally announces as the anticipated
effective date of the Fundamental Change and ends on, and includes, the related Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date; or
(c) in all other cases, the period that begins on, and includes, the 30th Business Day
before the date the Company originally announces as the anticipated effective date of the
transaction and ends on, and includes, the 30th day after the actual effective date of the
transaction.
The Company shall mail to Holders, in accordance with Section 15.04 of the Base
Indenture, and to the Trustee notice of, and the Company shall publicly announce, through
a reputable national newswire service, and publish on its website, the anticipated
effective date of any transaction described in clause (a), clause (b) or clause (c)
above. The Company must make this mailing, announcement and publication at least 30
Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of any such transaction.
(v) Conversion during Specified Periods. Irrespective of the conditions set forth
in clause (i), clause (ii), clause (iii) or clause (iv) above, the Securities may

close of business of the Business Day immediately preceding April 15, 2015.
(B) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the right to convert the Securities
pursuant to this Article XI shall terminate at the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Stated Maturity for the payment of principal on the Securities.
(C) The initial Conversion Rate shall be 18.2962 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal
amount of Securities. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with
Sections 11.05 through 11.14.
(D) Whenever any event described in Section 11.01 shall occur which shall cause the Securities
to become convertible as provided in this Article XI, the Company shall promptly deliver, in
accordance with Section 15.04 of the Base Indenture, written notice of the convertibility of the
Securities to the Trustee and each Holder and shall, as soon practicable, but in no event later
than the open of business on the first date the Securities shall become convertible as provided in
this Article XI as a result of such event, publicly announce, through a reputable national newswire
service, and publish on the Company’s website, that the Securities have become convertible. Such
written notice, public announcement and publication shall include:
(i) the event causing the Securities to become convertible;
(ii) the time period during which the Securities will be convertible as a result of
that event;
(iii) if that event is a transaction described in clause (a), clause (b) or clause
(c) of Section 11.01(A)(iv), the anticipated effective date of the transaction; and
(iv) the procedures Holders must follow to convert their notes in accordance with
this Article XI, including the name and address of the Conversion Agent.
If the Company shall fail to make such public announcement on or before the open of business
on the first date the Securities shall become convertible as provided in this Article XI as a
result of such event, then (1) the Securities shall remain convertible for an additional Business
Day for each Business Day, on or after such first date the Securities become convertible, that the
Company shall fail to make such public announcement (an “Extension Period”); and (2) if the event
causing the Securities to become convertible shall be a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, then, the
increased Conversion Rate applicable, pursuant to Section 11.14, to Securities surrendered within
the time periods specified in Section 11.14 shall continue to apply to Securities surrendered for
conversion during any such Extension Period.
(E) A Holder may convert a portion of the principal amount of a Security if such portion is
$1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount.
Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to
conversion of a portion of such Security.
-23-
Section 11.02 Conversion Procedure and Payment Upon Conversion.
(A) To convert a Security, a Holder must (1) complete and sign the Conversion Notice, with
appropriate signature guarantee, on the back of the Security, and deliver such Conversion Notice to
the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or Conversion Agent, (4) pay the
amount of interest, if any, the Holder must pay in accordance with Section 11.02(C) and (5) pay any
tax or duty if required pursuant to Section 11.03. A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if
the portion is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount. If a
Security is surrendered for conversion in accordance with this Article XI, then:
(i) the Company shall deliver, through the Conversion Agent, to the Holder of such
Security an amount of cash and, if applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock (the
“Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each Trading
Day in the Cash Settlement Averaging Period for such conversion;
(ii) the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, such Settlement Amount on
the third (3rd) Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day in the Cash
Settlement Averaging Period applicable to such conversion; and
(iii) if the Settlement Amount includes shares of Common Stock, at and after the
close of business on the last Trading Day in such Cash Settlement Averaging Period, the
Person in whose name such certificate representing such shares of Common Stock, if any,
is to be registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record with respect to such
shares of Common Stock, and all rights of the Holder of such Security shall terminate,
other than the right to receive the consideration payable or deliverable, as the case may
be, upon conversion of such Security as provided herein;
(B) “Cash Settlement Averaging Period” shall mean, with respect to a Security that is
surrendered for conversion in accordance with this Article XI, either (i) if such Security is
converted during the period beginning on the twenty fifth (25th) Scheduled Trading Day immediately
preceding the Stated Maturity for the payment of principal on the Securities, the twenty (20)
consecutive Trading Days beginning on, and including, the twenty second (22nd) Scheduled Trading
Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity for the payment of principal on the Securities; or
(ii) in all other circumstances, the twenty (20) consecutive Trading-Day period that begins on, and
includes, the third (3rd) Trading Day after the Conversion Date for such conversion.
“Daily Conversion Value” shall mean, with respect to a Trading Day, one-twentieth (1/20th) of
the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day and (ii) the Volume-Weighted
Average Price per share of Common Stock on such Trading Day.
The “Daily Settlement Amount,” for each of the 20 Trading Days during the Cash Settlement
Averaging Period, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of converted Securities, consists of
(x) cash equal to the lesser of $50.00 and the Daily Conversion Value; and
-24-
(y) if such Daily
Conversion Value exceeds $50.00, a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Daily Share Amount”)
equal to (A) the difference between such Daily Conversion Value and $50.00, divided by (B) the
“Volume-Weighted Average Price” of Common Stock for such Trading Day (subject to the Company’s
right to pay cash in lieu of all or a portion of such shares of Common Stock, as described in the
immediately succeeding paragraph).
By the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the first Scheduled Trading
Day of the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period (or, with respect to any Conversion Date for
Securities that occurs on or after the 25th Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated
Maturity for the payment of principal on the Securities, on or prior to such 25th Scheduled Trading
Day), the Company may specify a percentage of the Daily Share Amounts for the relevant Cash
Settlement Averaging Period (or for certain specified Holders with a given Cash Settlement
Averaging Period) that will be settled in cash (the “Cash Percentage”), and the Company will
concurrently notify the Securityholders and the Trustee of such Cash Percentage (the “Cash
Percentage Notice”). The Company will treat all Holders with the same Cash Settlement Averaging
Period in the same manner. The Company will not, however, have any obligation to settle its
conversion obligations arising with respect to different Cash Settlement Averaging Periods in the
same manner. If the Company elects to specify a Cash Percentage, the amount of cash that the
Company will deliver in lieu of all or the applicable portion of the Daily Share Amount in respect
of each Trading Day in the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period will equal: (i) the Cash
Percentage, multiplied by (ii) the Daily Share Amount for such Trading Day (assuming the Company
has not specified a Cash Percentage), multiplied by (iii) the Volume-Weighted Average Price per
share of Common Stock for such Trading Day. The number of shares of Common Stock deliverable in
respect of each such Trading Day in the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period will be the Daily
Share Amount (assuming the Company had not specified a Cash Percentage), multiplied by a percentage
equal to 100% minus the Cash Percentage. If the Company does not specify a Cash Percentage, the
Company must settle 100% of the Daily Share Amount for each Trading Day in such Cash Settlement
Averaging Period by delivering shares of Common Stock.
The “Volume-Weighted Average Price” per share of Common Stock on any Trading Day shall mean
the volume-weighted average price per share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange or, if
the Common Stock shall not be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, on the principal exchange or
over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock shall then be listed or traded, from 9:30 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Trading Day as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP”
on Bloomberg page “ANR.N <Equity> VAP” (or any successor thereto); provided, however, that if
such volume-weighted average price shall not be available, then the amount to be used as the
Volume-Weighted Average Price on such Trading Day for purposes hereof shall be the market value per
share of Common Stock on such Trading Day determined by a nationally recognized investment banking
firm retained for such purpose by the Company.
(C) Except as provided in the Securities or in this Article XI, no payment or adjustment will
be made for accrued interest on a converted Security or for dividends on any
Common Stock issued on or prior to conversion. If any Holder surrenders a Security for
conversion after the close of business on the Regular Record Date for the payment of an installment
of interest and prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then, notwithstanding such
-25-
conversion, the interest payable with respect to such Security on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on
such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Security at the close of business on
such Regular Record Date; provided, however, that such Security, when surrendered for conversion,
must be accompanied by payment to the Conversion Agent on behalf of the Company of an amount equal
to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the portion so converted unless either (i)
the Company shall have, in respect of a Fundamental Change, specified a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date which is after such Regular Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment
Date; or (ii) such Security is surrendered for conversion after the close of business on the
Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Stated Maturity for the payment of principal on the
Securities; provided further, however, that, if the Company shall have, prior to the Conversion
Date with respect to a Security, defaulted in a payment of interest on such Security, then in no
event shall the Holder of such Security who surrenders such Security for conversion be required to
pay such defaulted interest or the interest that shall have accrued on such defaulted interest
pursuant to Section 2.09 or otherwise (it being understood that nothing in this Section 11.02(C)
shall affect the Company’s obligations under Section 2.09).
(D) If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number of full shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, if any, shall be based on the aggregate principal
amount of all Securities converted.
(E) Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for
the Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security
surrendered.
(F) If the last day on which a Security may be converted is a not a Business Day, the Security
may be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.
(G) The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the
Securities and instead shall pay a cash adjustment for fractional shares of Common Stock based on
the Volume-Weighted Average Price per share of Common Stock on the last Trading Day of the relevant
Cash Settlement Averaging Period.
Section 11.03 Taxes on Conversion.
If a Holder converts its Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar
issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue, if any, of shares of Common Stock upon the
conversion. However, such Holder shall pay any such tax or duty which is due because such shares
of Common Stock are issued in a name other than such Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may
refuse to deliver a certificate representing the shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name
other than such Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax
or duty which will be due because such shares are to be issued in a name other than
such Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or
regulation.
-26-
Section 11.04 Company to Provide Stock.
The Company shall at all times reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or
Common Stock held in its treasury enough shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion, in
accordance herewith, of all of the Securities (assuming, solely for purposes of this covenant, that
the Company elects or shall elect to deliver solely shares of Common Stock in respect of the Daily
Share Amount).
All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Securities shall be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free of preemptive or similar rights and
free of any lien or adverse claim.
The Company shall comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares
of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and shall list such shares on each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed.
Section 11.05 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.
The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the occurrence
of any of the following events:
(a) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution
on shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share
combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR’= CR0 ´ | OS’
|
where
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; | ||||
CR’ | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; | ||||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; and | ||||
OS’ | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be. |
-27-
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex Date for
such dividend or distribution, or the effective date for such share split or share combination. If
any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 11.05(a) is declared but not so
paid or made, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not split or combined, as the case may
be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of
Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or not to split or combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be
in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared or
announced.
(b) If the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its
Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more
than twenty (20) calendar days after the record date of such distribution to
subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share less than
the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10)
consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
Ex Date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the
following formula:
CR’= CR0 ´ | OS0 + X
|
where
CR0
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex Date for such distribution; | ||||
CR’
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex Date for such distribution; | ||||
OS0
|
= | the number of shares of the Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex Date for such distribution; | ||||
X
|
= | the total number of shares of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and | ||||
Y
|
= | the number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Closing Sale Prices over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution of such rights, options or warrants. |
-28-
Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights, options or warrants are
distributed and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex Date for
such distribution. The Company shall not issue any such rights, options or warrants in respect of
shares of the Common Stock held in treasury by the Company. To the extent that shares of the
Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the
adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of
delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options
or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion
Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex Date for such distribution had not occurred.
In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or
purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such average of the Closing Sale Prices over the
ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date
for such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of the Common
Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights,
options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such
consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. In no event shall
the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 11.05(b).
(c) In case the Company shall distribute shares of its Capital Stock, evidences
of its Indebtedness or other of its assets or property other than (i) dividends or
distributions covered by Section 11.05(a) and Section 11.05(b), (ii) dividends or
distributions paid exclusively in cash, and (iii) Spin-Offs to which the provisions
set forth below in this Section 11.05(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital
Stock, indebtedness, or other asset or property hereinafter in this Section 11.05(c)
called the “Distributed Property”), to all or substantially all holders of its
Common Stock, then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on
the following formula:
CR’= CR0 ´ | XX0
|
where
CR0
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex Date for such distribution; | ||||
CR’
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex Date for such distribution; | ||||
SP0
|
= | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution; and |
-29-
FMV
|
= | the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock as of the open of business on the Ex Date for such distribution. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex Date
for such distribution; provided that if “FMV” as set forth above is equal to or greater than
“SP0” as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall
be made so that each Securityholder shall receive on the date on which the Distributed Property is
distributed to holders of Common Stock, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities the amount
of Distributed Property such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date for such distribution. If such
distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been
declared. If the Board of Directors determines “FMV” for purposes of this Section 11.05(c) by
reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so
consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Closing Sale Prices
over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex
Date for such distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) where there has been a
dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or
series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the
Company (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on
the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for the Spin-Off will be
increased based on the following formula:
CR’= CR0 ´ | FMV + MP0
|
where
CR0
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for the Spin-Off; | ||
CR’
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for the Spin-Off; | ||
FMV
|
= | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for the Spin-Off; and | ||
MP0
|
= | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following and including the Ex Date for the Spin-Off. |
-30-
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall become effective at the
close of business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for
the Spin-Off; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any
conversion during the ten Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for any
Spin-Off, references in the portion of this Section 11.05(c) related to Spin-Offs to ten Trading
Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the
Ex Date for such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date for such conversion.
Subject in all respect to Section 11.13, rights, options or warrants distributed by the
Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or
purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under
certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified
event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common
Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the
Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 11.05 (and
no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 11.05 will be required) until the
occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to
have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate
shall be made under this Section 11.05(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any
such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are
subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options 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 Ex Date
with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration
of the existing rights, options or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In
addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants,
or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect
thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment
to the Conversion Rate under this Section 11.05 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights,
options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any
holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase
to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash
distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders
of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained
such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or
repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been
terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if
such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of this Section 11.05(c), Section 11.05(a), and Section 11.05(b), any dividend or
distribution to which this Section 11.05(c) is applicable that also includes shares of Common
Stock, or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which
Section 11.05(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or
-31-
distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than
such shares of Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to which Section 11.05(c) applies (and
any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 11.05(c) with respect to such dividend or
distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such
shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate
adjustment required by Section 11.05(a) and Section 11.05(b) with respect to such dividend or
distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Ex Date of such dividend or distribution shall be
substituted as “the Ex Date,” “the Ex Date relating to such distribution of such rights, options or
warrants” and “the Ex Date for such distribution” within the meaning of Section 11.05(a) and
Section 11.05(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall
not be deemed “outstanding immediately prior to the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or
the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be” within the meaning
of Section 11.05(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Ex Date for such dividend or
distribution” within the meaning of Section 11.05(b).
In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 11.05(c).
(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all
holders of its Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the
following formula:
CR’= CR0 ´ | XX0
|
where
CR0
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution; | ||
CR’
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution; | ||
SP0
|
= | the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution; and | ||
C
|
= | the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex Date for
such dividend or distribution; provided that if “C” as set forth above is equal to or greater than
“SP0” as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate
provision shall be made so that each Securityholder shall have the right to receive on the date on
which the relevant cash dividend or distribution is distributed to holders of Common Stock, for
each $1,000 principal amount of Securities, the amount of cash such holder would have received had
such holder owned a number of shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date for such
dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion
-32-
Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such
dividend or distribution had not been declared.
For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 11.05(d), in the event of any
reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Securities become convertible into
more than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant
to this Section 11.05(d), references in this Section to one share of Common Stock or Closing Sale
Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price of a unit
consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Stock into which the Securities are then
convertible equal to the numbers of shares of such class issued in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications.
In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 11.05(d).
(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a
tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock and the cash and value of any
other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds
the average of the Closing Sale Prices over the ten consecutive Trading-Day period
commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which
tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the
Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR’= CR0 ´ | AC + (SP’ ´ OS’)
|
where
CR0
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the last Trading Day of the period of ten consecutive Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; | ||
CR’
|
= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the last day Trading Day of the period of ten consecutive Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; | ||
AC
|
= | the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer; | ||
OS0
|
= | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); |
-33-
OS’
|
= | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and | ||
SP’
|
= | the average of the Closing Sale Prices over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires. |
Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on the tenth Trading Day
immediately following, but excluding, the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires;
provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during
the ten Trading Days immediately following, but excluding, the date that any such tender offer or
exchange offer expires, references in this Section 11.05(e) to ten Trading Days shall be deemed
replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the date that such tender
offer or exchange offer expires and the Conversion Date for such conversion. If the Company is
obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer,
but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or
all or any portion of such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Rate
shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender offer
or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that had been
effected. In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 11.05(e).
(f) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e)
above, the Company, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law and by the rules of
the New York Stock Exchange, may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of
at least twenty (20) Business Days or such longer period as may be required by law, if the
Board of Directors has made a determination, which determination shall be conclusive, that
such increase would be in the best interests of the Company. Such Conversion Rate increase
shall be irrevocable during such period. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee and
cause notice of such increase to be mailed to each Holder of Securities at such Holder’s
address as the same appears on the registry books of the Registrar, at least fifteen (15)
days prior to the date on which such increase commences.
(g) Notwithstanding this Section 11.05 or any other provision of the Indenture or the
Securities, if any Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective, or any Ex Date for any
issuance, dividend or distribution (relating to a required Conversion Rate adjustment)
occurs, during the period beginning on, and including, the open of business on a Conversion
Date and ending on, and including, the close of business on the last Trading Day of the
related Cash Settlement Averaging Period, the Board of Directors shall make adjustments to
the Conversion Rate and the amount of cash or number of shares of Common Stock, if any,
issuable upon conversion of the Securities, as the case may be, as is be necessary or
appropriate to effect the intent of this Section 11.05 and the other provisions of Article
XI and to avoid unjust or inequitable results, as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 11.05(g) shall apply in lieu of the
adjustment that would otherwise be applicable.
-34-
(h) The term “Ex Date” means the first date on which shares of Common Stock (or other
relevant security) trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular
way, without the right to receive the issuance, dividend or distribution in question.
Section 11.06 No Adjustment.
No adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 11.05 shall be required until
cumulative adjustments amount to one percent (1%) or more of the Conversion Rate as last adjusted
(or, if never adjusted, the initial Conversion Rate); provided, however, that any adjustments to
the Conversion Rate which by reason of this Section 11.06 are not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Rate;
provided further, that at the end of each fiscal year of the Company, beginning with the fiscal
year ending on December 31, 2008, any adjustments to the Conversion Rate that have been, and at
such time remain, deferred pursuant to this Section 11.06 shall be given effect, and such
adjustments, if any, shall no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment to the Conversion Rate; provided further, that if a Fundamental Change or Make-Whole
Fundamental Change occurs, or if the Securities shall become convertible pursuant to Section
11.01(A)(iii) or Section 11.01(A)(iv), then, in each case, any adjustments to the Conversion Rate
that have been, and at such time remain, deferred pursuant to this Section 11.06 shall be given
effect, and such adjustments, if any, shall no longer be carried forward and taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Rate. All calculations under this Article XI shall be
made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten-thousandth of a share, as the case may be.
No adjustment shall be made to the conversion rate for any of the transactions or events
described in Section 11.05(a), Section 11.05(b), Section 11.05(c), Section 11.05(d) or Section
11.05(e) if the Company makes provision for each Holder to participate in the transaction or event
at the same time holders of Common Stock participate without conversion as if such Holder held a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex Date or effective
date, as the case may be, for such transaction or event, multiplied by the principal amount
(expressed in thousands) of Securities held by such Holder.
Section 11.07 Other Adjustments.
In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Article XI, the Holder
of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares
of Capital Stock other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Rate of such other
shares so receivable upon conversion of any Security shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to
Common Stock contained in this Article XI.
Section 11.08 Adjustments for Tax Purposes.
Except as prohibited by law or by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the Company may
make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section 11.05 hereof,
as it determines to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income
-35-
tax to holders of Common Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution with respect to
the Common Stock. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee and cause notice of such increase
(including the duration of such increase) to be mailed to each Holder of Securities at such
Holder’s address as the same appears on Security Register for the Securities, at least fifteen (15)
days prior to the date on which such increase commences.
Section 11.09 Notice of Adjustment.
Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders at the
addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee
an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of
computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
Section 11.10 Notice of Certain Transactions.
In the event that:
(1) the Company takes any action, or becomes aware of any event, which would require an
adjustment in the Conversion Rate,
(2) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant
to Section 11.11, or
(3) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
the Company shall mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books and the
Trustee a written notice stating the proposed record, effective or expiration date, as the case may
be, of any transaction referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 11.10. The Company
shall mail such notice at least twenty (20) days before such date; however, failure to mail such
notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in clause
(1), (2) or (3) of this Section 11.10.
Section 11.11 Effect of Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers, Binding Share
Exchanges or Sales on Conversion Privilege.
If any of the following shall occur, namely: (i) any reclassification of the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of Securities, (ii) any consolidation, amalgamation, statutory
arrangement, merger or binding share exchange to which the Company is a party or (iii) any sale,
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s
property or assets, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into or
exchanged for, or would constitute solely the right to receive, cash, securities or other property,
then the Company or such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall, as a condition
precedent to such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger,
binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, execute and deliver to
the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee providing that,
at and after the effective time of such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory
arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease,
-36-
conveyance or disposition, the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right
to convert such Security (if otherwise convertible pursuant to this Article XI) into the kind and
amount of cash, securities or other property (collectively, “Reference Property”) receivable upon
such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share
exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition by a holder of a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to a fraction whose denominator is one thousand (1,000) and whose numerator is
the product of the principal amount of such Security and the Conversion Rate in effect immediately
prior to such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding
share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition; provided, however, that at and
after the effective time of such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory
arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, upon
the conversion of a Security (w) the portion of each Daily Settlement Amount payable in cash shall
continue to be payable in cash (x) the portion (if any) of each Daily Settlement Amount payable in
shares of Common Stock shall be payable in Reference Property, (y) the Daily Conversion Value shall
be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property corresponding to the amount of
Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in the relevant
transaction and (z) the Volume-Weighted Average Price per share of Common Stock and the Closing
Sale Price shall be calculated with respect to a unit of Reference Property corresponding to the
amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in the
relevant transaction. The supplemental indenture referred to in the first sentence of this
paragraph shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Rate which shall be as nearly equivalent
as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Rate provided for in this Article XI.
The foregoing, however, shall not in any way affect the right a Holder of a Security may otherwise
have, pursuant to Section 11.05(c) or Section 11.13, to receive rights, options or warrants upon
conversion of a Security. If, in the case of any such reclassification, consolidation,
amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease,
conveyance or other disposition, the stock or other securities and property (including cash)
receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and
property of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such
reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share
exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, then such supplemental indenture
shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect
the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors in good faith shall
reasonably determine necessary by reason of the foregoing (which determination shall be described
in a Board Resolution). The provisions of this Section 11.11 shall similarly apply to successive
consolidations, mergers, binding share exchanges, sales, transfers, leases, conveyances or
dispositions.
For purposes of this Section 11.11, the type and amount of consideration that a holder of the
Common Stock would have been entitled to in the case of reclassifications, consolidations,
amalgamations, statutory arrangements, mergers, binding share exchanges, sales, transfers, leases,
conveyances or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets,
in each case that cause the Common Stock to be converted into, exchanged for or to constitute
solely the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon
any form of shareholder election) will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and
amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock that
-37-
affirmatively make such an election. We will notify Holders of such weighted average as soon
as practicable after such determination is made.
In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section
11.11, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (i) an Opinion of Counsel stating that such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and (ii) an Officers’
Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of shares of stock or
securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders of the Securities upon the conversion
of their Securities after any such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory
arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition
and any adjustment to be made with respect thereto.
The Company shall not become a party to any such reclassification, consolidation,
amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease,
conveyance or other disposition unless the terms thereof are consistent with this Section 11.11.
Section 11.12 Trustee’s Disclaimer.
The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article XI should be made,
how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of
the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’
Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 11.09 hereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any
securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and the Trustee shall not be responsible
for the failure by the Company to comply with any provisions of this Article XI.
The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any
provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 11.11, but may
accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be protected in relying upon,
the Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is
obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.11 hereof.
The
Conversion Agent and the Bid Solicitation Agent shall have the same
protections under this Section 11.12 as the Trustee.
Section 11.13 Rights Distributions Pursuant to Stockholders’ Rights Plans.
Upon conversion of any Security or a portion thereof, the Company shall make provision for the
Holder thereof, to the extent such Holder is to receive shares of Common Stock upon such
conversion, to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Common Stock
otherwise deliverable hereunder upon such conversion, the rights described in any stockholders’
rights plan (i.e., poison pill) the Company may have in effect at such time, unless such rights
have separated from the Common Stock at the time of such conversion, in which case the Conversion
Rate shall be adjusted upon such separation in accordance with Section 11.05(c).
Section 11.14 Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in
Connection With Make-Whole Fundamental Changes.
(A) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Conversion Rate applicable to each
Security that is surrendered for conversion, in accordance with this Article XI, at any
-38-
time during the period (the “Make-Whole Conversion Period”) that begins on, and includes, the
actual effective date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change and ends on, and includes, the date that
is forty (40) Business Days after the actual effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change
(or, if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change also constitutes a Fundamental Change, the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date applicable to such Fundamental Change) shall be increased to an amount equal
to the Conversion Rate that would, but for this Section 11.14, otherwise apply to such Security
pursuant to this Article XI, plus an amount equal to the Make-Whole Applicable Increase.
The additional consideration payable hereunder on account of any Make-Whole Applicable
Increase with respect to a Security surrendered for conversion is herein referred to as the
"Make-Whole Consideration.” For avoidance of doubt, the amount of the Make-Whole Consideration due
upon the conversion of a Security shall be based on the Cash Settlement Averaging Period and
Volume-Weighted Average Prices applicable to such conversion pursuant to Section 11.02.
(B) As used herein, “Make-Whole Applicable Increase” shall mean, with respect to a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change, the amount, set forth in the following table, which corresponds to the
effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change (the “Effective Date”) and the Applicable
Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

provided, however, that:
(i) if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between
two (2) Applicable Prices listed in the table above under the column titled “Applicable
Price,” or if the actual Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between
two Effective Dates listed in the table above in the row immediately below the title
“Effective Date,” then the Make-Whole Applicable Increase for such Make-Whole Fundamental
Change shall be determined by linear
interpolation between the Make-Whole Applicable Increases set forth for such two
Applicable Prices, or for such two Effective Dates based on a three hundred and sixty
five (365) day year, as applicable;
(ii) if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is greater
than $180.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as each Applicable Price
in the table above, in accordance with Section 11.14(B)(iii)), or if the actual
Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is less than $41.25 per share
(subject to adjustment in the same manner as each Applicable Price in the table above, in
accordance with Section 11.14(B)(iii)), then the Make-Whole Applicable Increase shall be
equal to zero (0);
(iii) if an event occurs that requires, pursuant to this Article XI (other than
solely pursuant to this Section 11.14), an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, then, on
the date and at the time such adjustment is so required to be made, (A) each Applicable
Price set forth in the table above under the column titled “Applicable Price” shall be
deemed to be adjusted so that such Applicable Price, at and after such time, shall be
equal to the product of (1) such Applicable Price as in effect immediately before such
adjustment to such Applicable Price and (2) a fraction whose numerator is the Conversion
Rate in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and whose
denominator is the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance with this Article XI,
immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate; and (B) each Make-Whole
Applicable Increase amount set forth in the table above shall be deemed to be adjusted so
that such Make-Whole Applicable Increase, at and after such time, shall be equal to the
product of (1) such Make-Whole Applicable Increase as in effect immediately before such
adjustment to such Make-Whole Applicable Increase and (2) a fraction whose numerator is
the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance with this Article XI, immediately
after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and whose denominator is the Conversion Rate
in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Conversion Rate; and
(iv) in no event shall the Conversion Rate applicable to any Security be increased
pursuant to this Section 11.14 to the extent, but only to the extent, such increase shall
cause the Conversion Rate applicable to such Security to exceed 24.2423 shares per $1,000
principal amount (the “BCF Make-Whole Cap”); provided, however, that the BCF Make-Whole
Cap shall be adjusted in the same manner in which, and for the same events for which, the
Conversion Rate is to be adjusted pursuant to this Article XI.
-40-
(C) As used herein, “Applicable Price” shall have the following meaning with respect to a
Make-Whole Fundamental Change: (a) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change constitutes a Common Stock
Change Make-Whole Fundamental Change and the consideration (excluding cash payments for fractional
shares or pursuant to statutory appraisal rights) for the Common Stock in such Make-Whole
Fundamental Change consists solely of cash, then the “Applicable Price” with respect to such
Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be equal to the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock in
such Make-Whole Fundamental Change; and (b) in all other circumstances, the “Applicable Price” with
respect to such Make-Whole
Fundamental Change shall be equal to the average of the Closing Sale Prices for the five (5)
consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental
Change, which average shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors, in its good faith
determination (which determination shall be described in a Board Resolution), to account for any
adjustment, pursuant hereto, to the Conversion Rate that shall become effective, or any event
requiring, pursuant hereto, an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex Date of such event
occurs, at any time during such five (5) consecutive Trading Days.
(D) [Reserved.]
(E) No later than the third Business Day after the Effective Date of each Make-Whole
Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail to Holders, in accordance with Section 15.04 of the Base
Indenture, and to the Trustee written notice of, and shall publicly announce, through a reputable
national newswire service, and publish on the Company’s website, such Effective Date and the
Make-Whole Applicable Increase applicable to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(F) Nothing in this Section 11.14 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant
to Section 11.05 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
ARTICLE XII. MISCELLANEOUS

cash with respect to the Securities, which amounts shall be paid (A) in the case this Security is a
Global Security, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the
Depository for the Securities or its nominee; and (B) in the case this Security is a Physical
Security, by mailing a check to the address of the relevant Holder set forth in the Security
Register for the Securities. The Company shall pay, in cash, interest on any overdue amount
(including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest) at the rate borne by the
Securities.
4. Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent. Initially, Union Bank of California, N.A. (the

modified by the Supplemental Indenture No. 1 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of April ___,
2008, between the Company and the Trustee (the Base Indenture, as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). The terms of the Securities

similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with certain transfers or exchanges.
