addresses for subsequent notices or communications.
Any notice or communication mailed to a registered Holder shall be mailed to the Holder at the
Holder’s address as it appears on the registration books of the Registrar and shall be sufficiently
given if so mailed within the time prescribed.
Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its
sufficiency with respect to other Holders. If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner
provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it, except that notices to
the Trustee shall be effective only upon receipt.
The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon facsimile transmission of written instructions

except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on

Additional Interest, if any, shall accrue for the intervening period. If a Record Date is a Legal
Holiday, the Record Date shall not be affected. In any case where the Stated Maturity of any Note
is a Legal Holiday, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes)
payment of principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding day that
is not a Legal Holiday, with the same force and effect as if made on at the Stated Maturity.

Company’s calculations without independent verification. The Trustee will deliver a copy of such

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
TTM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
3.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2015
3.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2015
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 3.25%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to
an Indenture dated as of May 14, 2008, as supplemented and modified by a First Supplemental
Indenture dated as of May 14, 2008 (together, the “Indenture”), each between the Company and
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (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 Notes.
Interest. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per year. Interest on the
Notes will accrue from May 14, 2008. Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and
November 15, beginning November 15, 2008, and at maturity.
Interest will be paid to the person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of
business on the May 1 or November 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant
Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
composed of twelve 30-day months.
Ranking. The Notes constitute a senior unsecured general obligation of the Company,
ranking equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior unsecured and
unsubordinated debt of the Company and ranking senior in right of payment to any future debt of the
Company that is expressly made subordinate in right of payment to the Notes by the terms of such
debt, and effectively ranking junior to any existing and future secured debt of the Company to the
extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.
Redemption at the Option of the Company. The Company may not redeem any of the Notes
at its option prior to maturity.
Repurchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder Upon a Fundamental Change.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated, at the
option of the Holder, to repurchase the Notes if a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to
the Stated Maturity at 100% of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including
Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, which
amount will be paid in cash.
Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. Holders have the right to
withdraw, in whole or in part, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, by
delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of
the Indenture.
18
Payment of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. If cash sufficient to pay the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all Notes or portions thereof to be repurchased on a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is deposited with the Paying Agent on the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date, such Notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to
accrue on such Notes (or portions thereof) immediately after such Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date, and 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 Note).
Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture
(including without limitation the conditions of conversion of this Note set forth in Article 6
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 cash and shares
of Common Stock, if any, in each case at the Conversion Rate. The initial Conversion Rate is
62.6449 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes (equivalent to a conversion
price of approximately $15.96), subject to adjustment in certain events described in the Indenture.
Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, based on a
Settlement Amount calculated on a proportionate basis for each day of the Observation Period, as
set forth in the Indenture. 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 Notes for
conversion. Notes 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.
In the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Note, including an exchange,
transfer, repurchase or conversion of this Note 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.
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Principal Amount plus interest,
including Additional Interest, if any, through such date on all the Notes 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
Notes 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 Notes. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate
Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, 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 any provision of
or applicable to this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
19
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
Note.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note 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
Notes, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding
Notes 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,
the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of
Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee 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 Note for the
enforcement of any payment of the Principal Amount or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price hereof on
or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note 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 interest, including Additional
Interest, if any, on, this Note 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 Note is registrable in the Note Register, upon surrender of this Note 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 Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate Principal Amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Notes 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. Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate Principal Amount of
Notes 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 and the Note Registrar 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 Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee
and the Note Registrar and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
20
this Note be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York.
All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned
to them in the Indenture.

Company, ranking equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior
27
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 in right
of payment to the Notes by the terms of such Indebtedness, and effectively ranking junior to
any existing and future secured Indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the
assets securing such Indebtedness.
Section 3.03. Denominations. The Notes 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 3.04. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed
on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief Financial Officer
or its Treasurer.
Notes 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 Notes or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental
Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication,
together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes. The Company Order
shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, and shall further specify the amount of such
Notes to be issued as a Global Note or as Certificated Notes. The Trustee in accordance with such
Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as in this First Supplemental Indenture
provided and not otherwise.
Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.
No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.
Section 3.05. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may
execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that
are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued
and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes; provided, that
any such temporary Notes shall bear legends on the face of such Notes as set forth in Section 2.02.
28
If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be
exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency of
the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like Principal Amount of
Certificated Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in
all respects be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as Certificated Notes.
Section 3.06. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the applicable 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 4.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Note Register”) in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for
the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Note
Registrar” (the “Note Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as
herein provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office or agency of the Company
designated pursuant to Section 4.02 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 Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor,
each such Note bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this First Supplemental
Indenture (including Sections 2.02).
At the option of the Holder and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.06 and to
Section 3.10, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or
agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled
to receive.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid
obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under the
Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Note 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 Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
29
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the
Company and the Note Registrar 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 Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.05 not involving any transfer.
Neither the Company nor the Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a
transfer of any Note (i) that has been surrendered for conversion or (ii) as to which a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn, except that where
such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice provides that such Note is to be purchased only in part,
the Company and the Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of the
portion thereof not to be purchased.
(b) Neither the Trustee, the Note Registrar nor any of their respective 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 relating to any transfers or exchanges other
than as specifically required hereunder.
Section 3.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If any mutilated Note is
surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a new Note 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 Note 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 Note 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 Note, a new Note of like tenor and Principal Xxxxxx and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become
due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 3.07, the Company may require payment by
the Holder 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 Note issued pursuant to this Section 3.07 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not
the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of the Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Notes duly issued hereunder.
30
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 Notes.
Section 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Trustee or
the Note Registrar may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such
Note for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of
such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the Trustee or
the Note Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 3.09. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.
(a) The Global Notes 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 Note in Section 2.02.
Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under
the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the
Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, 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 Note 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 Notes 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 Note may be transferred or exchanged, in whole or in part, for Certificated Notes in
accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 3.10. In
addition, Certificated Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their
beneficial interests in the Global Notes if (i) such Depositary has notified the Company that the
Depositary (A) is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (B) 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 either such case, no successor Depositary shall
have been appointed within 90 days of such notification, (ii) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Note and the Outstanding Notes shall
have become due and payable pursuant to Section 7.02 and the Trustee requests that Certificated
Notes be issued or (iii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee that it elects to cause
the issuance of Certificated Notes, subject to applicable procedures of the Depositary.
31
(c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in the
Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the Note Registrar shall (if one
or more Certificated Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a
decrease in the Principal Amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of
the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Certificated Notes of like tenor and
amount.
(d) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to
paragraph (b) above, the Global Note 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 Note, an equal aggregate Principal Amount of Certificated Notes of
authorized denominations and the same tenor.
(e) The Holder of the Global Notes may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person,
including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any
action that a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes.
Section 3.10. Cancellation and Transfer Provisions. The Company at any time may deliver to
the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the
Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation
any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The
Trustee shall cancel and dispose of all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange,
payment, purchase, repurchase, conversion (pursuant to Article 6 hereof) or cancellation in
accordance with its customary practices. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such
acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by
such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company
may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.
Section 3.11. CUSIP Numbers. In issuing the Notes, the Company may use “CUSIP” numbers (if
then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption
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 Notes or as contained in any notice
of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on
the Notes, and any such redemption 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.

provisions of this Section 4.04:
(i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the

sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Notes) in trust for
the benefit of the holders of the Notes;
(ii) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any
other obligor on the Notes) to make any payment of the principal of or interest, including
Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and

Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, deposit with the paying agent a sum (in funds which are
immediately available on the due date for such payment) sufficient to pay such principal or
interest, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of any failure to take such action; provided, however, that if such deposit is made on the
due date, such deposit shall be received by the paying agent by 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on

Additional Interest, if any, so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to
take such action and of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor under the Notes) to make
any payment of the principal of or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes
when the same shall become due and payable.
(c) Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any
time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this First Supplemental
Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust
by the Company or any paying agent hereunder as required by this Section 4.04, such sums to be held
by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment by the Company or any paying
agent to the Trustee, the Company or such paying agent shall be released from all further liability

Company if acting as its own paying agent) and shall have no control of any funds held by such
other paying agents.

successor electronic filing system) shall be deemed to constitute “filing” with the Trustee for
purposes of this Section 4.05. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee
is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained

and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate, the Trustee may assume
without inquiry that no Additional Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Additional
Interest directly to the Persons entitled to such Additional Interest, the Company shall deliver to
the Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.
Section 4.08. Stay; Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which
would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or
interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the
performance of the Indenture and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any
such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but
will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.09. Compliance Certificate; Notice of Default to Trustee. The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Company, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signer

Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 5.01 only if the Notes so delivered to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed
by the Company) shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 5.03; and
(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their
Notes.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit any
Holder’s repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the
Notes pursuant to this Section 5.01.
(c) No Payment During Events of Default. There shall be no repurchase of any Notes pursuant
to this Section 5.01 if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving,
by the Holders of such Notes, of the required Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice) and is
continuing an Event of Default (other than a default that is cured by the payment of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly
return to the respective Holders thereof any Notes (i) with respect to which a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this First Supplemental Indenture, or (ii)
held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default that is cured by the
payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes) in which case, upon
such return, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have
been withdrawn.
(d) Payment of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. The Notes to be repurchased pursuant to
this Section 5.01 shall be paid for in cash.

accordance with Section 5.03)
thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to
such Note. 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 Note (provided the conditions in Section 5.01(a) have been
satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery of such Note to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in
the manner required by Section 5.01(b).
Section 5.03. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:

is being submitted;
(ii) if Certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn
Notes (or if Certificated Notes have not been issued, information in compliance with
appropriate procedures of the Depositary); and
(iii) the Principal Amount of such Notes that remains subject to the original
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in Principal Amounts of $1,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000;
provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the notice must comply with
appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
Section 5.04. Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (local
time in The City of New York) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit

either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein)
an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to
pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, of all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be
repurchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall promptly notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of any deposits of cash made pursuant to this Section 5.04. If
the Paying Agent holds cash sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any Note
for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance
with this First Supplemental Indenture as of the close of business on the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date, then immediately following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, (a) such Note
will cease to be outstanding and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) will cease to
accrue thereon and (b) all other rights of the Holder in respect thereof will terminate (other than
the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and previously
39
accrued and unpaid
interest, including Additional Interest, if any, upon delivery or transfer of such Note).
Section 5.05. Notes Repurchased in Whole or in Part. Any Note that is to be repurchased,
whether in whole or 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 Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes,
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 Note so surrendered which is not
repurchased.
Section 5.06. Covenant to Comply With Securities Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes. In
connection with any offer to repurchase Notes under Section 5.01 (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 repurchase), the Company shall (i) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 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 5.01 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified
in Section 5.01.
Section 5.07. Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to
the Company any cash that remains unclaimed, together with interest, including Additional Interest,
if any, or dividends, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price; provided that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the
Company pursuant to Section 5.04 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the
Notes or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to repurchase as of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date, then as soon as practicable following the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall
return any such excess to the Company.

Section 6.01. Right to Convert.
(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, each Holder shall
have the right, at such Holder’s option, at any time following the Issue Date of the Notes
hereunder through the close of business on the third Scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the
Stated Maturity to convert the Principal Amount of any such Notes, or any portion of such Principal
Amount which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at the Conversion Rate then in
40
effect, (x)
on or after November 15, 2014, without regard to the conditions described in clauses (i) through
(iv) below and (y) prior to November 15, 2014, only upon the satisfaction of any of the following
conditions:
(i) A Holder may surrender all or a portion of its Notes for conversion during any
calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after June 30, 2008 if
the Last Reported Sale Price for the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days during the
period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately
preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable Conversion
Price in effect on each such Trading Day.
(ii) A Holder may surrender its Notes for conversion during the five Business Day
period after any 10 consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the
Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a
Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.01(a)(ii), for each day
of such period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the
Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate. In connection with any conversion in
accordance with this Section 6.01(a)(ii), the Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no
obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless requested by the Company; and
the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder provides the
Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes
would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock
and the applicable Conversion Rate. Promptly after receiving such evidence, the Company
shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price of the Notes
beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price
per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the
Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate.
The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders, in the manner provided in Section
11.02 of the Base Indenture, promptly upon determining (i) that the condition to
convertibility of the Notes set forth in this Section 6.01(a)(ii) has been met and (ii) at
any
time after the condition to convertibility of the Notes set forth in this Section
6.01(a)(ii) has been met, that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is
greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common
Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate.
(iii) In the event that the Company elects to:
(A) issue to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock rights entitling
them to purchase, for a period expiring within 60 days after the date of the
distribution, shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the Last Reported
Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading
41
Day period
ending on the Trading Day preceding the announcement of such issuance; or
(B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock assets,
debt securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution
has a per share Fair Market Value, as reasonably determined by the Company’s Board
of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on
the Trading Day preceding the declaration date for such distribution,
then, in each case, the Company shall notify the Holders, in the manner provided in Section
11.02 of the Base Indenture, at least 65 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the first date upon
which a sale of Common Stock does not automatically transfer the right to receive the
relevant dividend or distribution from the seller of Common Stock to its buyer (the
“Ex-Dividend Date”) or, if later, the Company shall notify the Holders on which the Company
sets the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; provided, that in the event that the
Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution is less than 65 Scheduled Trading Days from the date
of the Company’s notice, the Company will set the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution in
a manner that, subject to applicable law, provides as much notice as possible to Holders of
the Notes. Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender Notes for
conversion at any time until the earlier of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business
Day immediately prior to such Ex-Dividend Date or the Company’s announcement that such
distribution will not take place, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such
time.
(iv) (A) If the Company is party to a Fundamental Change, the Company shall notify
Holders, in the manner provided in Section 11.02 of the Base Indenture, at least 65
Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date for such transaction. Once
the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender Notes for conversion at any time
until 35 calendar days after the actual effective date of such transaction or, if later,
until the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Note 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 Note may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn
in accordance with Article 5 hereof prior to the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
Section 6.02. Conversion Procedure.
(a) Each Note shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent.
(b) In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any interest in Global Notes,
the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the
42
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 6.02 or Section 6.03(c) and any transfer taxes if required pursuant to Section
6.08. In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any Notes in certificated form,
the Holder of any such Notes to be converted, in whole or in part, shall:
(i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided on the back of the Note
(the “Conversion Notice”) or a facsimile of the conversion notice and deliver such notice
and the Note to a Conversion Agent;
(ii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents;
(iii) if required, pay all taxes and duties that may be applicable to such conversion;
and
(iv) make any payment required under this Section 6.02, Section 6.03(c) or Section
6.08.
The date on which the Holder satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above is
the “Conversion Date.”
(c) Each Conversion Notice shall state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which
any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such
conversion shall be issued. All such Notes surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares
issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Notes, 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.
(d) On the third Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Observation
Period, 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 Notes (or portion thereof) so converted), the Company shall deliver and shall issue to such
Holder at the office of the Conversion Agent, the cash amounts payable in respect of such
conversion and a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable
in respect of such conversion, if any, in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, with respect to any conversion of Notes for
which the Conversion Date occurs on or after the Effective Date of a Fundamental Change in which
the Reference Property into which the Common Stock is converted consists entirely of
cash, the delivery of cash and issuance of shares of Common Stock referred to in the
immediately preceding sentence shall take place on the third Scheduled Trading Day after the
relevant Conversion Date. In case any Notes 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 Notes so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, new Notes
43
in
authorized denominations in an aggregate Principal Xxxxxx equal to the unconverted portion of the
surrendered Notes.
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion
thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in this Section 6.02 have been
satisfied as to such Notes (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
Rate in effect on the date upon which such Notes shall be surrendered.
(e) Upon the conversion of an interest in Global Notes, the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent
appointed by the Company) shall make a notation on such Global Notes as to the reduction in the
Principal Xxxxxx represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
conversions of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
Section 6.03. Settlement Upon Conversion.
(a) Upon conversion of any Notes, the Company shall deliver to converting Holders, in respect
of each $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes being converted, a “Settlement Amount” equal to the sum of
the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 60 Trading Days during the Observation Period for such
Notes. The “Daily Settlement Amount” for each of the 60 Trading Days during the Observation Period
shall consist of:
(i) cash equal to the lesser of (x) $1,000 divided by 60 (such quotient being referred
to as the “Daily Measurement Value”) and (y) the Daily Conversion Value, and
(ii) to the extent the Daily Conversion Value exceeds the Daily Measurement Value, a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the difference between the Daily Conversion
Value and the Daily Measurement Value, divided by (y) the Daily VWAP for such day.
(b) Upon conversion, Holders shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and
unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, unless such conversion occurs between a
Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which it relates, in which case such payment shall be
payable to the Holder of converted Notes as of the Record Date.
(c) If Notes are converted after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Record Date for the
payment of interest, Holders of such Notes at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Record Date
will receive the interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on such Notes on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for
44
conversion during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Record Date to 9:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, must be accompanied by
funds equal to the amount of interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on the Notes so
converted; provided that no such payment need be made (i) in respect of any conversion which occurs
after the Record Date for the interest payment due on May 15, 2015; (ii) if the Company has
specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the
third Trading Day after the corresponding Interest Payment Date or (iii) to the extent of any
overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such
Notes.
(d) The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes.
If multiple Notes 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 Notes (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 Notes,
the Company shall make payment therefor to the Holder of such Notes in cash equal to the fraction
of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable multiplied by the Daily VWAP for the final Trading
Day of the applicable Observation Period.
(e) For purposes of this Section 6.03, and notwithstanding the definitions contained in
Section 1.01, the term “Trading Day” shall mean a day during which (A) there is no Market
Disruption Event and (B) trading in securities generally occurs on The Nasdaq Stock Market or, if
the Common Stock is not then listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, on the principal other US national
on regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or, if the Common Stock is
not then listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, in the principal other market
on which the Common Stock is then traded. If the Common Stock (or other security for which a Daily
VWAP must be determined for purposes of this Section 6.03) is not so listed or quoted, then, for
purposes of this Section 6.03, “Trading Day” shall mean a Business Day.
Section 6.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from
time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company will not
make any adjustment if holders of Notes may participate, as a result of holding the Notes, in the
transactions described without having to convert their Notes.
(a) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding,
issues shares of its Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if
the Company effects a share split or share combination with respect to its Common Stock, then the
Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
45
where
CR0 =
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable; | |
CR’ =
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date; | |
OS0 =
|
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date; and | |
OS’ =
|
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the opening of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day
following the record date for such dividend or distribution, or the date fixed for determination
for such share split or share combination.
(b) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding,
issues to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any rights or
warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 60 calendar days 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 average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading
Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such
issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
where
CR0 =
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance; | |
CR’ =
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance; | |
OS0 =
|
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance; |
46
X =
|
the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and | |
Y =
|
the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights or warrants. |
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 Rate shall be readjusted
to the Conversion Rate 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 determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the Last Reported Sale
Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, 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.
For the purposes of this Section 6.04(b), 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 (a “Trigger Event”): (1) are deemed to be transferred
with such shares of Common Stock; (2) are not exercisable; and (3) are also issued in respect of
future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this
Section 6.04(b) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.04(b) 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 6.04(b). If any such right or warrant, including
any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this First Supplemental
Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become
exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of Indebtedness or other assets, then the
date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution
and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or
expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In
addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any
Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto
that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount
for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.04(b) was made, (1) in the
47
case
of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise
by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final 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 Rate shall be readjusted as if
such rights and warrants had not been issued.
(c) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while the Notes are outstanding,
distributes shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company, evidences of its Indebtedness or
other assets or property of the Company to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock,
excluding:
(i) dividends or distributions referred to in Section 6.04(a);
(ii)
rights or warrants referred to in Section 6.04(b);
(iii) dividends or distributions referred to in Section 6.04(d); and
(iv) spin-offs to which the provisions of this Section 6.04(c) apply,
then the conversion rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where
CR0 =
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | |
CR’ =
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | |
SP0 =
|
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and | |
FMV = |
the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |
48
Such adjustment 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 of the Company
determines the Fair Market Value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 6.04(c) by
reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so
consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the average of the Last
Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6.04(c) where there has been a payment
of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock or shares of Capital Stock of any class or
series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (a
“Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
effective date of such Spin-Off shall be increased based on the following formula:
where
CR0 =
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period (as defined below); | |
CR’ =
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period; | |
FMV0 =
|
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and | |
MP0 =
|
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the Valuation Period. |
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph will occur on the last day
of the Valuation Period; provided, that in respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period,
references within this Section 6.04(c) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser
number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such spin-off and the
Conversion Date in determining the applicable adjustment to the Conversion Rate.
For the purposes of this Section 6.04(c), any shares of any class of Capital Stock of the
Company, evidences of its Indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company (the “Company
Interests”), which, until the occurrence of a Trigger Event: (1) are deemed to be transferred with
such shares of Common Stock; (2) are not exercisable; and (3) are also issued in respect of future
issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for
49
purposes of this
Section 6.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.04(c) will be
required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such
Company Interests 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 6.04(c). If any such
Company Interests, including any distributed prior to the date of this First Supplemental
Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such Company Interests become
exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of Indebtedness or other assets or
property, 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 Company Interests (and a termination or
expiration of the existing Company Interests without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In
addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of Company Interests, 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 6.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such Company Interests
which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final 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 Company
Interests (assuming such holder had retained such Company Interests), made to all applicable
holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of
such Company Interests which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders
thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such Company Interests had not been issued.
(d) If any cash dividend or other distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of
Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
where
CR0 =
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date For such dividend or distribution; | |
CR’ =
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; | |
SP0 =
|
the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and | |
C = |
the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock. |
50
(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or
exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration
included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported
Sale Price per share of Common Stock on 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:
where
CR0 =
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the adjustment; | |
CR’ =
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the effective date of the adjustment; | |
AC =
|
the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer; | |
OS0 =
|
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires; | |
OS’ =
|
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires; and | |
SP’ =
|
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires. |
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.04(e) shall occur at the close of
business on the tenth Trading Day from, and including the Trading Day next succeeding the date such
tender or exchange offer expires; provided, that in respect of any conversion within 10 Trading
Days immediately following, and including, the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer,
references within this Section 6.04(e) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser
number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer
and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable adjustment to the Conversion Rate.
(f) For purposes of this Section 6.04, “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
51
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 Company’s Board of Directors or by statute, contract or
otherwise).
(g) If application of the formulas provided in Sections 6.04(a), 6.04(b), 6.04(c), 6.04(d) or
6.04(e) would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate
shall be made except in the case of a share split or share combination with respect to the
Company’s Common Stock.
(h) To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to subsection (i) below, the Company
from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the
period is at least 20 Business Days, the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of
Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the
Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased
pursuant to this Section 6.04(h), the Company shall mail to Holders of record of the Notes a notice
of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and
such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in
effect.
(i) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to any adjustments
required by Section 6.04(a), 6.04(b), 6.04(c), 6.04(d) or 6.04(e), 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.
(j) All calculations under this Article 6 shall be made by the Company and 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 for the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable
securities or rights to purchase Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities, other than
as provided in this Section 6.04.
(k) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly
file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the
Conversion Rate 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 Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has
knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate to the Trustee, the
Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted
Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall cause such notice
of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to be mailed to each Noteholder at such Holder’s last
address appearing on the list of Noteholders provided for in
52
Section 3.06, 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 6.04 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 Notes 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 6.03.
(m) For purposes of this Section 6.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company 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, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu
of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(n) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to this Section 6.04 if the
Holders of the Notes may participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an
adjustment pursuant to this Section 6.04. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 6.04, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted: (i) upon the issuance of any shares of
Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or
interest payable on the securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts
in shares of Common Stock under any plan; (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or
restricted stock units or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or
future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any
Subsidiary; (iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant,
right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) and
outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued; (iv) for a change in the par value of the
Common Stock; or (v) for accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any).
(o) In no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
exceed 79.8722 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes, whether as a result of
an increase in the Conversion Rate in connection with a Fundamental Change or otherwise, subject in
each case to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in this Section
6.04.
Section 6.05. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of the
following events occur:
(i) any reclassification or change of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Notes (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from
no par
53
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 6.04(c));
(ii) any consolidation, 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, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the properties
and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries 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 or any combination of the foregoing) 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 as in force at
the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing that the Notes 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 Notes
(assuming, for such purposes, a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available to
convert all such Notes) immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
combination, sale or conveyance (the “Reference Property”). However, any amount otherwise payable
in cash upon settlement of conversion of Notes immediately prior to the effective time of such
transaction shall continue to be payable in cash, and each Noteholder shall be entitled thereafter
to convert its Notes into cash (up to the aggregate Principal Amount thereof) and Reference
Property in the same proportions provided under Section 6.03(a) with respect to settlement of
conversions in cash and shares of Common Stock. If the transaction causes Common Stock to be
converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in
part upon any from of stockholder election), the Reference Property into which the Notes will be
convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration
received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such election. 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 6. If, in the case of any such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock, the Reference Property
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 Notes as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the
foregoing.
54
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 Notes 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 6.05 applies to any event or occurrence,
Section 6.04 shall not apply.
Section 6.06. Adjustments of Average Prices. Whenever a provision of the Indenture requires
the calculation of an average of Last Reported Sale Prices or Daily VWAP over a span of multiple
days, the Company will make appropriate adjustments to account for any adjustment to the Conversion
Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the conversion rate that
becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion
Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period from which
the average is to be calculated.
Section 6.07. Adjustments Upon Certain Fundamental Changes.
(a) If a Holder elects to convert Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change, the
Conversion Rate for such Notes shall be increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock
(the “Additional Shares”) as described below. Any conversion occurring at a time when the Notes
would be convertible in light of the expected or actual occurrence of a Fundamental Change shall be
deemed to have occurred in connection with such Fundamental Change notwithstanding the fact that a
Note may then also be convertible because another condition to conversion under Section 6.01 has
been satisfied.
(b) The number of Additional Shares shall be determined by reference to the table attached as
Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Fundamental Change occurs or becomes
effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid per share of Common Stock
in the Fundamental Change. If the Fundamental Change is a transaction described in clause (1) or
(2) of the definition thereof, and holders of Common Stock receive only cash in such Fundamental
Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. In all other cases, the Stock
Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the five Trading
Day period ending on the Trading Day preceding the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change.
(c) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Schedule A hereto
shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted.
The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such
adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately
prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The
number of Additional Shares set forth in such table shall be adjusted in the same manner as the
Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 6.04.
55
(d) In the event that the exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates relating to a Fundamental
Change are not set forth in the table in Schedule A, then:
(i) If the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in the table or the Effective
Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be
determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set
forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based
on a 365-day year.
(ii) If the Stock Price is greater than $50.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the
same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 6.04), no Additional Shares will
be issued upon conversion.
(iii) If the Stock Price is less than $12.52 per share (subject to adjustment in the
same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 6.04), no Additional Shares will
be issued upon conversion.
Section 6.08. Taxes on Shares Issued. Any issue of stock certificates on conversions of Notes
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 Notes 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 Notes 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 6.09. 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 Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for
conversion (assuming that, at the time of the computation of such number of shares or securities,
all such Notes would be held by a single Holder).
Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment increasing the Conversion Rate to an
amount that would cause the Conversion Price to be reduced below the then par value, if any, of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, 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.
56
The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of
Notes 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 Notes on each national securities exchange or
over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.
Section 6.10. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall
not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Noteholder to determine the Conversion
Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with
respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to
the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making
the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the
validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or
property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Notes; 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 Notes for the purpose of conversion or to comply with
any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 6.
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 6.05 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 Notes after any event referred to in such Section 6.05 or to any adjustment to
be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 9.01 and Article 7 of the
Base Indenture, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and
shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated
to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect
thereto.
Section 6.11. 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 Rate pursuant to Section 6.04; 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
57
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, lease 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 Noteholder at such Holder’s address appearing on the list of Noteholders
provided for in Section 3.06 of this First Supplemental 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, lease, 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 6.12. Stockholder Rights Plan. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of
Notes pursuant to this Article 6 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if
any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such
legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights plan of the
Company that may be in effect at such time. If at the time of conversion, however, the rights
pursuant to an effective stockholder rights plan have separated from the shares of Common Stock in
accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement so that the Holders
of the Notes would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the
Company has distributed to all holders of Common Stock, rights or warrants as provided in Section
6.04(b) or, as appropriate and without duplication of Section 6.04(b), Company Interests as
provided in Section 6.04(c), each subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration,
termination or redemption of such rights or warrants.
Section 6.13. Company Determination Final. Any determination that the Company or its Board
of Directors must make pursuant to this Article 6 shall be conclusive if made in good faith and in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 6, absent manifest error, and set forth in a Board
Resolution.

Events of Default; Remedies
Section 7.01. Events of Default. “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of

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):

Subsidiary of the Company, whether such Indebtedness exists as of the date of this First
Supplemental Indenture or is hereafter created (i) resulting in such Indebtedness becoming or being
declared due and payable prior to the scheduled maturity thereof or (ii) constituting a failure to
pay the principal or interest of any such Indebtedness when due and payable at its stated maturity,
upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise;
(h) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for
relief in respect of the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, (ii) a decree or order
59
adjudging
the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of 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 a Significant Subsidiary of the Company 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;
(i) the commencement by the Company or by a Significant Subsidiary of the Company 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 or of a Significant Subsidiary 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 a Significant Subsidiary 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, or the taking of corporate action by the Company or by a Significant Subsidiary of the
Company in furtherance of any such action; or
(j) the rendering against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of a final judgment for the
payment of $15,000,000 or more, excluding any amounts covered by insurance, which judgment is not
discharged or stayed within 60 days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal such judgment
has expired if no such appeal has commenced or (ii) the date of which all rights to appeal such
judgment have been extinguished.
Section 7.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
(a) If an Event of Default (other than those specified in Section 7.01(h) and 7.01(i)) 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 Notes may declare the Principal Amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, on all the Outstanding Notes 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 and unpaid interest,
including Additional Interest, shall become immediately due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(h)
or Section 7.01(i)), the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including
60
Additional
Interest, on all Outstanding Notes will ipso facto become due and payable without any declaration
or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
(b) The Holders of not less than a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes may
on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default hereunder and rescind any
acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences, if (1) such recission would not
conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing
Events of Default, other than Events of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(b),
have been cured or waived; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, such Holders may
not waive or rescind a Default:
(i) described in Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(b); or
(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 11 cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note 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 the Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 7.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company
covenants that if a Default is made in the payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest, including Additional Interest, at the Maturity thereof or in the payment of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of any Note, the Company will, upon demand of the
Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and
payable on such Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
If 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 interest, including Additional Interest, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Notes or the Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee
does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of the Notes 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 7.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of any judicial proceeding relative
to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), 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
61
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 7.07 of the Base Indenture.
No provision of the 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 Notes 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 7.05. 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 Notes 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 7.07 of the Base
Indenture;
SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid on the Notes for the
Principal Amount, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or interest, including Additional
Interest, 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 Notes; and
THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person
lawfully entitled thereto.
Section 7.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute
any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the 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 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(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
Notes 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;
62
(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee security or 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
security or indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
(v) no direction, in the opinion of the Trustee, 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 Notes;
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 itself of, any provision of the 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 the Indenture, except in the manner
herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.
Section 7.07. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the Principal Amount,
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or interest in respect of the Notes held by such Holder, on or
after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes or any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as
applicable, and to convert the Notes in accordance with Article 6, 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.
Section 7.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the 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 7.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 3.07, 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 shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy.
63
Section 7.10. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
Holder of any Note 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 7.11. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the
Outstanding Notes 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 the Indenture;
and
(ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction.
Section 7.12. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under the 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 Notes, 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 and expenses, 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 7.12 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 Notes, or to
any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the Principal Amount on any
Note on or after Maturity of such Note or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
Section 7.13. 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 the Indenture;
and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 7.14. Notice of Default to Holders. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing
and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee must mail to each Holder notice of the Event of Default
within 90 days after it occurs. The Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders of the Notes of any
Event of Default, except defaults in payment of Principal Amount or interest, including Additional
Interest, if any, on the Notes, if and so long as a committee of the trust
64
officers of the Trustee
in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of
the Notes.
Section 7.15. Default Interest. Payments of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price,
principal or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, that are not made when due will
accrue interest at the annual rate of 1% per annum above the then-applicable interest rate from the
required payment date.
Section 7.16. Sole Remedy for Failure to Report. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Indenture, the Company may elect by written notice to the Trustee that the sole remedy for an Event
of Default relating to the failure of the Company to comply with its agreements under Section 4.05
of this First Supplemental Indenture or the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust
Indenture Act will for the 365 calendar days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default
consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (“Additional Interest”) on the
principal amount of the Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum for the first 180 calendar days
after the occurrence of such an Event of Default and 0.50% per annum from the 181st calendar day
until the 365th day after the occurrence of such an Event of Default. Such Additional Interest
shall be payable in the same manner and on the same Interest Payment Dates and subject to the same
terms as other interest payable under this First Supplemental Indenture. Additional Interest shall
accrue on all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which such Event of Default relating
to a failure to comply with Section 4.05 first occurs to but not including the 365th calendar day
thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with
Section 4.05 shall have been cured or waived). On such 365th calendar day (or such earlier date on
which the Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with Section 4.05 shall have been cured
or waived), such Additional Interest shall cease to accrue and on such 365th calendar day the Notes
shall be subject to acceleration and other remedies as provided in this Section 7.16 if the Event
of Default is continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 7.16 shall not
affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default.
In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest upon an Event of Default
relating to failure to comply with Section 4.05, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as
provided in Section 7.02. For the further avoidance of doubt, the Additional Interest will accrue
from the date on which the Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with Section 4.05
occurs. In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 365
days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with Section 4.05,
the Company must notify all Holders of Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election
prior to the tenth Business Day following the date on which the Event of Default relating to a
failure to comply with Section 4.05 occurs.

as to the sufficiency of the deposited amount, from an independent certified accountant or other
financial professional satisfactory to the Trustee, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to
be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this First Supplemental Indenture
shall cease to be of further effect (except as to (i) remaining rights of registration of transfer,
substitution and exchange and conversion of Notes, (ii) rights hereunder of Noteholders to receive
payments of principal of and interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes and the
other rights, duties and obligations of Noteholders, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the

the Trustee hereunder), and the Trustee, on written demand of the
66
Company accompanied by an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as required by Section 11.04 of the Base Indenture
and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction of and discharging this First Supplemental Indenture; the Company, however, hereby
agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or
expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee and to compensate the
Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection
with this First Supplemental Indenture or the Notes.
Section 10.02. Deposited Monies to be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 10.04,
all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 shall be held in trust for the sole
benefit of the Noteholders, and such monies shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment, either
directly or through any paying agent (including the Company if acting as its own paying agent), to
the holders of the particular Notes for the payment or redemption of which such monies have been
deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest,
including Additional Interest, if any.
Section 10.03. Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of
this First Supplemental Indenture, all monies then held by any paying agent of the Notes (other
than the Trustee) shall, upon written request of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the
Trustee, and thereupon such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect
to such monies.
Section 10.04. Return of Unclaimed Monies. Subject to the requirements of applicable law,
any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee for payment of the principal of or interest,
including Additional Interest, if any, on Notes and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the
holders of Notes for two years after the date upon which the principal of or interest, including
Additional Interest, if any, on such Notes, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable,
shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee on demand and all liability of the Trustee shall
thereupon cease with respect to such monies; and the holder of any of the Notes shall thereafter
look only to the Company for any payment that such holder may be entitled to collect unless an
applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.
Section 10.05. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the paying agent is unable to apply any
money in accordance with Section 10.02 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company’s obligations under this First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 until such time as the
Trustee or the paying agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 10.02;
provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of interest on or principal of any Note
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of
the holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or paying
agent.

documents required by Section 11.04 of the Base Indenture, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by the Indenture. Subject to
the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall sign such supplemental indenture if the same does not
adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that
adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise.
