The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in the Form of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A, which is a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement required by usage is in a form acceptable to the Company). The Company shall provide any such notations, legends or endorsements to the Trustee in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Indenture, all Securities shall be identical in all respects. Notwithstanding any differences among them, all Securities issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class.

(a) Global Securities. Securities offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A (“QIBs”) in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Securities, which shall be deposited with or on behalf of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC (Cede & Co., DTC, or any successors thereto being hereinafter referred to as the “Depositary”), duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary as hereinafter provided.

(b) Global Securities in General. Each Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions, repurchases and conversions.

Any adjustment of the aggregate principal amount of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.12 hereof and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary.

(c) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.01(c) shall apply only to Global Securities deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.

The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.01(c), authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Securities that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary, (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions and (c) shall bear a legend substantially to the effect of the global note legend set forth in the Form of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any Officer. The signature of an Officer on the Securities may be manual or by facsimile.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

At any time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.

A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been duly authenticated under this Indenture.

The Securities shall originally be issued only in fully registered form without interest coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.

The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Company may, without the consent of the holders of Securities, issue additional Securities (the “Additional Securities”) from time to time in the future with the same terms and the same CUSIP number as the Securities originally issued under this Indenture (the “Initial Securities”) in an unlimited principal amount, provided that such Additional Securities must be part of the same issue as the Initial Securities for United States federal income tax purposes. The Initial Securities and any such Additional Securities will constitute a single series of debt securities, and in circumstances in which this Indenture provides for the Holders of Securities to vote or take any action, the Holders of Initial Securities and the Holders of any such Additional Securities will vote or take that action as a single class.

The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent shall have the same rights as the Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03 Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency in New York City where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for repurchase, redemption or payment (“Paying Agent”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion (“Conversion Agent”) and an office or agency where notices to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer, exchange, repurchase, redemption and conversion. The Company may have one or more co-registrars, one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent, including any named pursuant to Section 4.05. The term Conversion Agent includes any additional conversion agent, including any named pursuant to Section 4.05.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or co-registrar.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Conversion Agent and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities, custodian for the Depositary with respect to the Global Securities, and each office or agency of the Trustee to be such office or agency of the Company for the aforesaid purposes.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money and Securities in Trust. Except as otherwise provided herein, on or prior to each due date of payment in respect of any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on the due date) or Common Stock or, as permitted by this Indenture, a combination thereof, sufficient to make such payments when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money and Common Stock held by the Paying Agent for the making of payments in respect of the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. At any time during the continuance of any such default, the Paying Agent shall, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all money and Common Stock so held in trust. If the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and Common Stock held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money and Common Stock held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds and Common Stock disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, if due to any law, rule, regulation applicable to the Trustee or any internal policy of the Trustee, the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent) is not permitted or able to hold in trust for the benefit of Holders, or to deliver to Holders, any shares of Common Stock which are owed to any Holders upon conversion of any Security, then the Trustee shall not be required to hold any such shares of Common Stock in trust or deliver such shares of Common Stock to the Holders and the Company shall not be required to deliver such shares of Common Stock to the Trustee, but rather instead, the Company shall appoint another Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Co-Trustee that has the ability to perform such functions or the Trustee and the Company shall coordinate with the registrar and stock transfer agent for the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock Registrar”) to ensure that any such shares of Common Stock are held in trust by the Common Stock Registrar and delivered by the Common Stock Registrar to the Holders when due, and in such capacity and in performing such duties on behalf of the Trustee, the Common Stock Registrar shall be entitled to all of the rights, powers and indemnifies that the Trustee, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent is entitled to under this Indenture. Nothing in this paragraph shall relieve the Company of its duty to issue and deliver any shares of Common Stock to the Holders of Securities upon conversion when due.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. (a) Subject to Sections 2.12 and 3.06 hereof, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office or agency of the Company designated as Registrar or co-registrar pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

The Company shall not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Securities from the Holder requesting such transfer or exchange.

The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or any Securities in respect of which a Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (except, in the case of Securities to be repurchased in part, the portion thereof not to be repurchased).

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depositary, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.12 and this Section 2.06(b). Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security to the Depositary, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or such successor’s nominee.

(c) Successive registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the register for the Securities.

(d) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or exchange of Securities.

(e) No Registrar shall be required to make registrations of transfer or exchange of Securities during any periods designated in the text of the Securities or in this Indenture as periods during which such registration of transfers and exchanges need not be made.

(f) Except as set forth in the following sentence, Securities that are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Restricted Securities shall bear the restrictive legend set forth in the Form of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Restrictive Legend”) and be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth therein. If any Restricted Securities are tendered for transfer, exchange or replacement or a request is made to remove the Restrictive Legend on a Security, the Securities issued upon such transfer, exchange or replacement shall bear the Restrictive Legend, or the Restrictive Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless (i) there is delivered to the Company and the Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel, as may be reasonably required by the Company and the Registrar, that neither the Restrictive Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that such Securities are not “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (ii) the Company notifies the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Security pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale. Upon (i) provision of such satisfactory evidence, or (ii) notification by the Company to the Trustee and Registrar of such sale pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver a Security that does not bear the Restrictive Legend. If the Restrictive Legend is removed from the face of a Security and the Security is subsequently held by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, the Restrictive Legend shall be reinstated.

Section 2.07 Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that such Security has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to Article 3 hereof, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay or repurchase such Security in cash in an amount equal to its principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section 2.07, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in exchange for any mutilated Security, or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and any other obligor upon the Securities, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08 Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security; provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only Securities which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Article 6 and Article 9).

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date, on the Business Day following a Repurchase Date or a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, or on Stated Maturity, money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after such Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, or on and after the Business Day following the Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest, if any (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any), on such Securities shall cease to accrue and such Securities shall cease to be convertible; provided, that if such Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee has been made.

If a Security is converted in accordance with Article 10, then on and after the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding and interest, if any (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any), shall cease to accrue on such Security.

Section 2.09 Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities.

Section 2.10 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or redemption. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Securities in its customary manner. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, repurchased, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article 10.

Section 2.11 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of an outstanding Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of such Security or the payment of any Redemption Price, Repurchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect thereof, and interest thereon (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any), for the purpose of conversion thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.12 Global Securities. (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, (A) transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.06 and Section 2.12(a)(i), (B) transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Security for a Certificated Security shall comply with Section 2.06 and Section 2.12(a)(iii) below, and (C) transfers of a Certificated Security shall comply with Section 2.06 and Section 2.12(a)(iv) and Section 2.12(a)(v) below.

(i) Transfer of Global Security. A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof; provided that this clause (i) shall not prohibit any issuance of a Certificated Security in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to clause (iii) below. No transfer of a Security to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Securities unless and until such Security has been registered in the name of such Person. Nothing in this Section 2.12(a)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 2.12(a).

(ii) Restrictions on Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security for a Certificated Security. Owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have Securities represented by that Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Certificated Securities, except as provided below, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under this Indenture or under the Securities for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the Trustee.

(iii) A beneficial interest in a Global Security may not be exchanged for a Certificated Security except that Certificated Securities shall be issued to all owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security in exchange for such interests if:

(A) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so registered in order to act as Depositary, and in each case a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice;

(B) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee and Registrar an Officers’ Certificate stating that the book-entry system through DTC shall be discontinued; or

(C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities and the Holder of such Securities so requests.

In connection with the exchange of one or more entire Global Securities for Certificated Securities pursuant to this subsection (iii), such Global Securities shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Securities of authorized denominations.

Upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions from the Holder of a Global Security directing the Registrar to (x) issue one or more Certificated Securities in authorized denominations and the amounts specified to the owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security and (y) debit or cause to be debited an equivalent amount of beneficial interest in such Global Security, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC:

(1) the Registrar shall notify the Company and the Trustee of such instructions, identifying the owner and amount of such beneficial interest in such Global Security;

(2) the Company shall promptly execute and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to such beneficial owner Certificated Security(ies) in authorized denominations and an equivalent amount to such beneficial interest in such Global Security; and

(3) the Registrar shall decrease such Global Security by such amount in accordance with the foregoing.

(iv) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Securities. When Certificated Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request:

(x) to register the transfer of such Certificated Securities; or

(y) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal principal amount of Certificated Securities of other authorized denominations,

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Certificated Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange:

(1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(2) so long as such Securities are Restricted Securities, such Securities are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

(a) if such Certificated Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or

(b) if such Certificated Securities are being transferred to the Company or its Subsidiary, a certification to that effect; or

(c) if such Certificated Securities are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration, (i) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth in the Form of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A, if applicable) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it or other evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Restrictive Legend.

(v) Restrictions on Transfer of a Certificated Security for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security. A Certificated Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below.

Subject to the occurrence of the circumstances specified in Section 2.12(a)(iii) above, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Certificated Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:

(I) so long as the Securities are Restricted Securities, certification, in the form set forth in the Form of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A, that such Certificated Security is being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A; and

(II) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase,

the Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Security and cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of Securities represented by the Global Security to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Security to be exchanged, and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security in authorized denominations and equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Security so cancelled.

(b) Subject to Section 2.06(f), every Restricted Security, including beneficial interests in a Global Security, shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Restrictive Legend, including the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel, if so required. Whenever any Certificated Security that is a Restricted Security is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange for a Security registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such Restricted Security must be accompanied by a certificate in substantially the form set forth in the Form of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A, dated the date of such surrender and signed by the Holder of such Security, as to compliance with such restrictions on transfer. The Registrar shall not accept for such registration of transfer or exchange any Security not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.

(c) The restrictions imposed by the Restrictive Legend upon the transferability of any Security shall cease and terminate when such Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) or, if earlier, upon the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision). The Holder of any Security as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may request, upon a surrender of such Security for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the removal of such Restrictive Legend in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.06(f). The Company shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering the Securities under the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned Opinion of Counsel or registration statement.

(d) As used in Section 2.12(b) and Section 2.12(c), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer, loan, hypothecation, or other disposition of any Security.

(e) The provisions of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below shall apply only to Global Securities:

(i) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(ii) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(f) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

(iii) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.12(a)(iii) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(f) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and under the Securities. 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 such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security. The Holder of a Global Security 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 this Indenture or the Securities.

Section 2.13 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the CUSIP or ISIN number that appears on any Security, check, advice of payment or redemption notice, and any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in the event of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

Section 2.14 Liquidated Damages Under Registration Rights Agreement. The terms of the Registration Rights Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference and any Liquidated Damages payable pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement are deemed to be interest for purposes of this Indenture.

Section 2.15 Ranking. The Securities will be general unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated debt and senior to all of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness.

Section 2.16 Company Determination Final. The Company will be responsible for making all calculations required under the Securities, unless otherwise set forth in this Indenture. Such calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock in the absence of reported or quoted prices and adjustments to the Conversion Rate, the Trading Price of the Securities, the amount of accrued interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) payable on the Securities and both the Conversion Rate and the Conversion Price of the Securities. The Company shall make all such calculations in good faith, and, absent manifest error, such calculations will be final and binding on Holders of Securities. The Company shall provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely upon the accuracy of such calculations without independent verification. The Trustee will forward such calculations to any Holder upon the request of such Holder.

Article 3

REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASES

Section 3.01 Company’s Right to Redeem; Notices to Trustee. The Securities will not be subject to redemption prior to October 5, 2012, except to preserve the Company’s status as a REIT. On or after October 5, 2012, or if, at any time, the Company determines it is necessary to redeem the Securities in order to preserve the Company’s qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“REIT”), the Company shall have the right to redeem the Securities in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice delivered to the Holders, for cash at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) thereon up to, but not including, the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”); provided, however, that if the Redemption Date is on a date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company shall pay the related interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date. In the case where the Company is redeeming the Securities to preserve its status as a REIT, the Company shall provide the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing that the Board of Directors has, in good faith, made the determination that it is necessary to redeem the Securities in order to preserve the Company’s qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.01 at least 60 days before the Redemption Date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein.

Section 3.02 Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed. If fewer than all outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method that complies with applicable legal and securities exchange requirements and the procedures of the Depositary, if any, and that the Trustee considers appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal amount of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities and portions of Securities the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts of $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.

If the Trustee selects a portion of a Holder’s Securities for partial redemption and such Holder converts a portion of the same Securities, the converted portion will be deemed first to be from the portion selected for redemption.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company or the Trustee shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed.

The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date;

(b) the Redemption Price;

(d) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

(e) that Securities called for redemption may be converted at any time before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date;

(f) that Holders who want to convert their Securities must satisfy all the requirements set forth herein and in the Securities;

(g) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

(h) if fewer than all of the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers, if any, and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

(i) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Redemption Price, interest, if any (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any), on Securities called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; and

(j) the CUSIP and ISIN number(s) of the Securities.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense, provided that the Company makes such request at least five Business Days prior to the date by which such notice of redemption must be given to Holders in accordance with this Section 3.03, provided further that, in all cases, the text of such notice of redemption shall be prepared by the Company.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price stated in the notice of redemption except for Securities which are converted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption Price stated in the notice of redemption.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or have been converted. The Paying Agent shall as promptly as practicable return to the Company any money not required for that purpose because of conversion of Securities pursuant to Article 10. If such money is then held by the Company in trust and is not required for such purpose it shall be discharged from such trust.

Section 3.06 Securities Redeemed in Part.

(a) In the event of any redemption in part, the Company will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities for redemption and ending at the close of business on the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of Securities to be so redeemed or, register the transfer of or exchange any Security, so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

(b) Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Security in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered, or in the case of a Global Security, the Company shall instruct the Registrar to decrease such Global Security by the principal amount of the redeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

Section 3.07 Repurchase of Securities by the Company at Option of the Holder. (c) General. Securities, in whole or in part (equal to $1,000 or a integral multiple thereof), shall be repurchased by the Company at the option of the Holder on October 1, 2012, October 1, 2017 and October 1, 2022 or the next Business Day following such date to the extent any such date is not a Business Day (each, a “Repurchase Date”), in U.S. legal tender (“cash”) at 100% of the principal amount of Securities to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any), thereon up to, but not including, such Repurchase Date (the “Repurchase Price”). If a Repurchase Date is on a date that is after the Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company shall pay the related interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date.

No Securities may be repurchased by the Company at the option of Holders if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities, other than a default in the payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to the Securities. Repurchases of Securities hereunder shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(i) delivery to the Paying Agent and the Company by the Holder of a written notice (or in the case of Global Securities, a notice delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary’s customary procedures) of repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) during the period beginning at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to the relevant Repurchase Date until the close of business on the second Business Day prior to such Repurchase Date stating:

(A) if the Securities are Certificated Securities, the certificate number of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, if any; if the Securities are not Certificated Securities, all information required to comply with all DTC procedures,

(B) the principal amount of the Security, or portion thereof, which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and

(ii) delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements and compliance by the Holder with all DTC procedures) at the offices of the Paying Agent, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Repurchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.07 only if the Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Repurchase Notice, as determined by the Company.

The Company shall repurchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.07, a portion of a Security, if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a Security also apply to the repurchase of such portion of such Security.

Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.07 shall be consummated by the delivery to the Paying Agent of the consideration to be received by the Holder on the Business Day following the later of the Repurchase Date or the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions to such repurchase to be fulfilled by the Holder hereunder. If the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price of the Security on such Business Day in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, then, from and including the Repurchase Date, interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) on such Security will cease to accrue and all other rights of the Holder shall terminate, other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.07(a) shall have the right to withdraw such Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.09. If the Repurchase Notice is withdrawn during such period, the Company will not be obligated to purchase the related Securities. The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any written notice of withdrawal of a Repurchase Notice.

(b) Company Notice. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Repurchase Date (the “Company Notice Date”), the Company or the Trustee shall mail a notice to Holders setting forth information specified in this Section 3.07(b) (the “Company Notice”).

(a) Except as provided below, if the effective date of a Fundamental Change (the “Fundamental Change Effective Date”) occurs prior to October 1, 2012, outstanding Securities shall be repurchased by the Company in whole or in part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof), at the option of the Holder thereof, in cash, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Securities to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) thereon up to, but not including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of the Holder of the requirements set forth in Section 3.08(c); provided, however, that if the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is on a date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company shall pay the related interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, a Holder shall not have the right to require the Company to repurchase its Securities upon a Fundamental Change described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of Change of Control, and the Company will not be required to deliver the Fundamental Change Notice incidental thereto as a result of any merger, consolidation, assignment, conveyance, sale, transfer, lease or other disposition otherwise constituting a Change in Control in which at least 90% of the consideration paid for the Company’s Common Stock, excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights, consists of shares of common stock (or depositary receipts or other certificates representing common equity interests) traded on a U.S. national securities exchange, or will be so traded immediately following the merger or consolidation, and, as a result of the merger or consolidation, the Securities become convertible into such shares of such common stock. No Securities may be repurchased by the Company at the option of Holders upon a Fundamental Change if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities, other than a default in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to the Securities.

If the Company desires the Trustee to give the Fundamental Change Notice required by Section 3.08(b), at least five Business Days before the Fundamental Change Notice Date, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee specifying the information required by Section 3.08(b).

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such Fundamental Change Notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense, provided that the Company makes such request at least five Business Days prior to the date by which such Fundamental Change Notice must be given to Holders in accordance with this Section 3.08; provided further that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

(c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in Section 3.08(a) upon delivery of a written notice of repurchase (a “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) to the Paying Agent at any time after the Fundamental Change Notice and on or prior to the close of business on the second scheduled Trading Day prior to Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, stating:

(i) If the Securities are Certificated Securities, the certificate number of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased; if the Securities are not Certificated Securities, all information required to comply with all DTC procedures;

(ii) the principal amount of the Security, or portion thereof, which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, which portion must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

If the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Securities which Holders have elected to require the Company to repurchase on such Business Day in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, then, from and including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, those Securities will cease to be outstanding and interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) on the Securities will cease to accrue and all other rights of the Holders shall terminate, other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions.

(a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person, if any, will be a corporation, or in the case of a Guarantor, a corporation or other legal entity, organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and such entity has expressly assumed, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s respective obligations under the Securities and this Indenture;

The successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or such Guarantor is merged or the successor Person to which such conveyance, transfer, sale or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or such Guarantor under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company or such Guarantor herein; and thereafter, except in the case of a lease of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s properties and assets substantially as an entirety, the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities. Subject to Section 9.06, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the successor Person shall enter into a supplemental indenture to evidence the succession and substitution of such successor Person and such discharge and release of the Company or such Guarantor.

Article 6

(vii) the failure by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries to pay one or more final and non-appealable judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, the aggregate uninsured or unbonded portion of which is in excess of $15.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days from the dates such judgments are entered;

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is 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.

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, or any similar Federal, state or non-U.S. law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default and any Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 6.02 Acceleration. Except as provided in Section 11.02, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(viii) or Section 6.01(ix) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of Securities outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any), on all the outstanding Securities to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such accelerated amount shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(viii) or Section 6.01(ix) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of Securities outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any), on all the Securities shall, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or any Holder, become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding by notice to the Trustee and the Company and without notice to any other Holder may rescind and annul any declaration of acceleration if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any), that have become due solely as a result of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any), on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of the Securities in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding by notice to the Trustee and without notice to any other Holder may waive any past Default and its consequences except an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(i) and Section 6.01(ii) or any Default that would require the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would potentially involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities or the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, except in the case of a suit instituted by a Holder for the enforcement of payment of principal or interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) on or after the applicable due date or the right to convert Securities in accordance with this Indenture, unless:

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

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding make a written request, and such Holder or Holders shall have offered reasonable indemnity to the Trustee to pursue such remedy;

(c) the Trustee has not received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request within 60 days after such notice, request and offer; and

(d) the Trustee fails to comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and offer of indemnity.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Holder.

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal amount, Redemption Price, Repurchase Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or interest, if any (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any), in respect of the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Holder’s Securities or any Redemption Date, Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, and to convert the Securities in accordance with Article 10, 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 without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest, including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for the principal amount, Redemption Price, Repurchase Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or interest, if any (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any), as the case may be, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on the Securities; and

THIRD: the balance, if any, to the Company.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ 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. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding.

Section 6.12 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall 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, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(j) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent or co-registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.10 and Section 7.11.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default described in Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(ii), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. The second sentence of this Section 7.05 shall be in lieu of the proviso to Section 315(b) of the TIA and such proviso is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default or an Event of Default unless (i) a Trust Officer of the Trustee has received written notice thereof from the Company or any Holder referencing this Indenture and the Securities and stating that such notice is a notice of default or (ii) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

The Trustee shall also comply with TIA Section 313(b).

The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee if and when the Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as agreed in the fee proposal dated September 27, 2007 as may be amended from time to time in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall fully indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance and administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person). The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity of which a Trust Officer has actually received written notice shall not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Company or any Guarantor. The Company or such Guarantor shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. If the Trustee is advised by counsel in writing that it may have available to it defenses which are in conflict with the defenses available to the Company or any Guarantor, then the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company or such Guarantor shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company or such Guarantor need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made by the Trustee without the Company’s or such Guarantor’s consent. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, custodians, successors and assigns.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) on particular Securities.

The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(viii) or Section 6.01(ix) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(d) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns, or is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of all of its costs and the costs of its agents and counsel, promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trust created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any such successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Trustee shall have (or, in the case of a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its (or its related bank holding company’s) most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b), subject to the penultimate paragraph thereof; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met.

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

Section 7.12 Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable to the Company for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any Officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

Article 8

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 8.01 Discharge of Liability on Securities. When (a) the Company delivers to the Registrar all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for cancellation or (b) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable or have been converted, and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee cash sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) or delivers all amounts owing on conversion, as the case may be, and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 2.07, cease to be of further effect; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not discharge the Company’s obligation to effect conversion, registration of transfer or exchange of Securities in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company.

Section 8.02 Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon written request any excess money or securities held by them at any time.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.

(k) conform, as necessary, this Indenture and the form or terms of the Securities to the “Description of the Notes” as set forth in the final offering memorandum dated October 2, 2007 relating to the initial placement of the Securities, as amended and supplemented by the supplement dated October 8, 2007 to such offering memorandum; or

(l) make any other change to this Indenture or forms or terms of the Securities so long as such change will not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities.

After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders. With the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding (voting as a single class), the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or supplement to, or modification of, this Indenture or the Securities may not:

(k) modify provisions with respect to modification and waiver (including waiver of Events of Default), except to increase the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Securities required for modification or waiver or to provide for consent of each affected Holder.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to each Holder a notice briefly describing the amendment.

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall comply with the TIA.

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents, Waivers and Actions. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Supplemental Indentures. The Trustee shall sign any supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment contained therein does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign such supplemental indenture. In signing such supplemental indenture the Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to the provisions of Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Section 9.07 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Article 10
CONVERSIONS

Section 10.01 Conversion Rights. (f) A Holder of Securities may convert such Securities, in whole or in part, (x) after April 1, 2027, at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity and (y) on or prior to the close of business on April 1, 2027 only in the circumstances and to the extent specified in clauses (i) through (vi) below:

(i) during any calendar quarter after the original issuance of the Securities, if the Closing Sale Price per share of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days during the 30-consecutive-Trading Day period ending on the last Trading Day of the preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price of the Securities on such last Trading Day;

(ii) during the ten-consecutive-Trading-Day period immediately following any five-consecutive- Trading-Day period in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities (as determined following a request by a Holder of the Securities in accordance with the procedures described in Section 10.01(c)) for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of (x) the Closing Sale Price and (y) the Conversion Rate of the Securities on each such Trading Day;

(iii) with respect to any Securities to be redeemed, after the Company or the Trustee has issued a notice of redemption of the Securities pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, at any time prior to the close of business one Business Day prior to the Redemption Date for such Securities, even if such Securities are not otherwise convertible at such time;

(iv) at any time after the Company gives notice to Holders of Securities (with a copy to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent) of any election by it to distribute to all, or substantially all, holders of Common Stock:

(A) any rights or warrants entitling such holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase, for a period expiring within 60 days after the date for such distribution, shares of Common Stock at an exercise price less than the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such distribution is announced, or

(B) assets (including cash), debt securities or rights or warrants to purchase the Company’s securities (except for any distribution solely in the form of cash required to preserve the Company’s status as a REIT), which distribution has a value per share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors exceeding 10% of the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such distribution is announced,

in each case, until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date or the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place, provided that no Holder may exercise this right to convert if such Holder may participate in the distribution without conversion;

(v) if a Fundamental Change occurs, regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the Securities as described in Section 3.08, at any time from or after the date that is 50 Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction until the close of trading on the second scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; or

(vi) if the Company is a party to a combination, merger, binding share exchange or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of its property and assets that does not also constitute a Fundamental Change, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into cash, securities or other property, at any time during the period from the date that is 50 Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction and ending on the 15th Business Day following the effective date of such transaction, provided that, if the transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, in lieu of the conversion right described in this clause (vi), Holders will have the conversion right described in clause the preceding clause (v).

(b) The Company will determine on a daily basis whether the Securities are convertible as a result of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock pursuant to Section 10.01(a)(i) and will notify the Trustee if the Securities are so convertible.

(c) The Conversion Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Securities as described in Section 10.01(a)(ii) unless the Company has requested such determination in writing; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless the Trustee or a Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities on any Trading Day would be less than 98% of the product of (x) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock and (y) the Conversion Rate of the Securities on such day. At such time, the Company will instruct the Conversion Agent to determine the Trading Price of the Securities beginning on such Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate of the Securities. The Conversion Agent’s sole duty in respect of such determination shall consist of requesting and receiving, and, if applicable, averaging the quotations provided by the independent nationally recognized securities dealers referred to in the definition of “Trading Price.” The Conversion Agent shall be entitled at its sole discretion to consult with the Company and to request the assistance of the Company in connection with the Conversion Agent’s duties and obligations pursuant to this Section 10.01(c) and the Company agrees, if requested by the Conversion Agent, to cooperate with, and provide assistance to, the Conversion Agent in carrying out its duties under this Section 10.01(c).

(d) If the Company elects to make a distribution described in Section 10.01(a)(iv), the Company shall notify Holders at least 50 Business Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

(e) To the extent practicable, the Company will notify Holders of the Securities of the anticipated effective date of the Fundamental Change not more than 70 Trading Days and not less than 50 Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date. In the case of a transaction described in clause 10.01(a)(vi), the Company will notify Holders of Securities and the Trustee at least 50 Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction.

(f) The Company appoints the Trustee as the initial Conversion Agent. The Trustee may resign from its appointment as Conversion Agent at any time and the Company shall then appoint a new Conversion Agent.

(g) Securities with respect to which a Repurchase Notice or a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder may be converted pursuant to this Section 10.01 only if the Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.09.

(h) Whenever any event described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 10.01(a) shall occur such that the Securities become convertible as provided in this Section 10.01, the Company shall promptly inform the Conversion Agent and the Trustee, issue a press release and use its reasonable efforts to post such information on its website or otherwise publicly disclose the information, or provide notice to the Holders of the Securities in a manner contemplated by this Indenture, including through the facilities of DTC, which press release, website posting, notice or other public disclosure, as the case may be, shall include:

(i) a description of such event;

(ii) a description of the periods during which the Securities shall be convertible as provided in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 10.01(a);

(iii) a statement of whether an adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall take effect in respect of such event pursuant to Section 10.06 through Section 10.11 below; and

(iv) the procedures Holders of the Securities must follow to convert their Securities in accordance with Section 10.03 below, including the name and address of the Conversion Agent.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Securities or this Indenture, no Holders of Securities shall be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Securities to the extent that receipt of such shares of Common Stock would cause any holder of beneficial interests (together with such holder’s Affiliates) to exceed the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit, the Common Stock Ownership Limit or the Excepted Holder Limit (as each such term is defined in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in effect as of the date hereof, collectively the “Ownership Limit”).

Section 10.02 Conversion Consideration.

(a) Subject to the qualifications and the satisfaction of the conditions and during the periods described in Sections 10.01(a) and 10.01(i), Holders shall be entitled to convert their Securities in denominations of $1,000 principal amount or integral multiples thereof initially at a conversion rate of 88.3704 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, which will be subject to adjustments as described in Section 10.06 through Section 10.11, but will not be adjusted for accrued interest (the “Conversion Rate”). The “Conversion Price” at any given time is equal to the principal amount of a Security divided by the Conversion Rate and initially shall be $11.32 per share.

(b) Except as described in clause (b)(iv) of this Section 10.02, if the Company receives any Conversion Notice on or prior to the date that is 42 scheduled Trading Days immediately preceding the Stated Maturity (the “Final Notice Date”), the following procedures shall apply:

(i) If the Company elects to satisfy all or any portion of its conversion obligation in cash, the Company shall notify Holders through the Trustee of the dollar amount to be satisfied in cash (which must be expressed either as 100% of the Conversion Value or as a fixed dollar amount) at any time on or before the date that is two Business Days following the Conversion Date (the “Cash Settlement Notice Period”). If the Company timely elects to pay cash for any portion of its conversion obligation, Holders may retract their Conversion Notice at any time during the two Business Days following the final day of the Cash Settlement Notice Period (the “Conversion Retraction Period”). No such retraction can be made (and a Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable) if the Company does not elect to deliver cash in lieu of shares (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares). Upon the expiration of a Conversion Retraction Period, a Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. If the Company elects to satisfy all or any portion of its conversion obligation in cash, and the Conversion Notice has not been retracted, then settlement (in cash or in cash and shares) will occur on the third Business Day following the Conversion Settlement Averaging Period.

(ii) If the Company does not elect to satisfy any part of its conversion obligation in cash (other than cash in lieu of any fractional shares), delivery of the shares of Common Stock into which the Securities are converted (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares) will occur as soon as practicable on or after the Conversion Date.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), if a Holder surrenders a Security for conversion in connection with a Qualifying Fundamental Change transaction, the Company shall deliver any Additional Shares after the corresponding QFC Effective Date even if the settlement date in respect of the other conversion consideration occurs earlier and, as a result, the conversion consideration may be delivered in two payments rather than one.

(iv) With respect to Conversion Notices that the Company receives after the Final Notice Date or after the Company has issued a notice of redemption and prior to the Redemption Date:

(A) if the Company elects to satisfy all or any portion of its conversion obligation in cash with respect to such conversions, the Company shall not send individual notices informing Holders of such election as described in clause (b)(i) of this Section 10.02, but rather the Company shall send a single notice to Holders (which may be included in the notice of redemption, if applicable) indicating the dollar amount to be satisfied in cash (which must be expressed either as 100% of the conversion obligation or as a fixed dollar amount);

(B) the Settlement Amounts shall be computed and settlement dates will be determined in the same manner as set forth in this Section 10.02; and

(v) Upon conversion of any Securities, the Settlement Amounts to be delivered to the surrendering Holders will be computed as follows:

(A) If the Company elects to satisfy its entire conversion obligation in shares of Common Stock (except for cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock), for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities surrendered for conversion the Company shall deliver to Holders a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate on the Conversion Date (plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock).

(B) If the Company elects to satisfy its entire conversion obligation in cash, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities surrendered for conversion, the Company shall deliver cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Value.

(C) If the Company elects to satisfy a fixed portion (other than 100%) of its conversion obligation in cash, the Company shall deliver to Holders, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities surrendered for conversion: (1) cash in any amount the Company shall specify (the “Specified Cash Amount”), provided that if the Specified Cash Amount exceeds the Conversion Value then the Company shall satisfy its conversion obligation entirely in cash as set forth in clause (B) above; and (2) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of (i) zero and (ii) the sum of the excess, if any, for each of the 40 Trading Days in the Conversion Settlement Averaging Period of (a) the Daily Share Amount, over (b) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) one-fortieth (1/40th) of the Specified Cash Amount divided by (y) the Daily VWAP on such Trading Day.

The “Settlement Amount” is, upon the surrender of any Securities for conversion in accordance with the terms hereof, the amount of cash and/or shares of Common Stock the Company is required to deliver to the surrendering Holder, through the Conversion Agent, pursuant to subclause (A), (B) or (C) of this Section 10.02(b)(v), as applicable.

The “Conversion Value” means, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities surrendered for conversion, the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 40 Trading Days of the Conversion Settlement Averaging Period.

The “Conversion Settlement Averaging Period” means, with respect to any Securities surrendered for conversion, the 40-consecutive-Trading-Day period beginning (x) on the Redemption Date, if prior to the relevant Conversion Date the Company has called for redemption the Securities that are being converted, (y) on the 40th Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity, if the relevant Conversion Date is on or after the 40th Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity, and (z) in all other instances, on the Trading Day immediately following the final day of the Conversion Retraction Period.

The “Daily Conversion Value” means, for each of the 40 consecutive Trading Days during the Conversion Settlement Averaging Period, for each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities surrendered for conversion, one-fortieth (1/40th) of the product of (x) the applicable Conversion Rate and (y) the Daily VWAP on such Trading Day.

The “Daily VWAP” per share of Common Stock (or any security that is part of the reference property into which the Common Stock has been converted, if applicable) on any Trading Day means the volume weighted average price on the principal exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock (or other security) is then listed or traded, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on that Trading Day as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg Page LSE <equity> (or the applicable page of any successor service or the Bloomberg Page for any security that is part of the reference property into which the Common Stock has been converted, if applicable) or if such volume weighted average price is not available (or the reference property in question is not a security), the volume weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock, or other reference property, shall be the market value per share of the Common Stock on such day as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the Company, using a volume-weighted method. The Daily VWAP will be determined without regard to after hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours.

The “Daily Share Amount” means, for each of the 40 consecutive Trading Days during the Conversion Settlement Averaging Period, for each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities surrendered for conversion, one-fortieth (1/40th) of the applicable Conversion Rate on such Trading Day.

(c) Any payments of cash and, if Common Stock is to be delivered, a stock certificate or certificates for the related number of shares of Common Stock, will be delivered to the Holders, or a book-entry transfer therefor through DTC will be made.

(d) To the extent any portion of the Company’s conversion obligation is settled in shares of Common Stock, no fractional shares will be issued upon conversion; in lieu thereof, a Holder that would otherwise be entitled to fractional shares of Common Stock will receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate of the fractional shares otherwise deliverable (rounding down to the nearest whole number) and cash equal to the remainder multiplied by the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date. Any cash and/or shares of Common Stock (including cash in lieu of fractional shares) deliverable upon conversion of the Securities will be delivered through the Conversion Agent, or, with respect to the shares of Common Stock, through the Company Stock Registrar at the direction of the Conversion Agent or the Company.

Section 10.03 Conversion Procedures. (g) To convert a Security, a Holder shall (i) complete and manually sign a conversion notice or a facsimile of the conversion notice, a form of which is on the back of the Security or may be obtained from the Conversion Agent (the “Conversion Notice”), and deliver such Conversion Notice to the Conversion Agent, (ii) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (iii) if required by the Conversion Agent, furnish appropriate endorsement and transfer documents, (iv) pay all transfer or similar taxes required to be paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 10.04 and (v) if required pursuant to Section 11.01(d), pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date. If a Person’s interest is a beneficial interest in a Global Security, to convert, such Person shall comply with requirements (iii), (iv) and (v) above and comply with the Depositary’s procedures for converting a beneficial interest into a Global Security. The date a Holder complies with all of the applicable requirements is the “Conversion Date,” provided that if such Holder complies with such requirements after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date then the Conversion Date shall be the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) Securities will be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date and the converting Holder will be treated as a stockholder of record of the Company as of such time.

(c) No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on, or other distributions with respect to, any Common Stock except as provided in Section 10.06 to Section 10.09 below. Upon conversion of a Security, a Holder will not receive any cash payment of interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) unless such conversion occurs between a Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which that Record Date relates. The Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for accrued and unpaid interest.

(d) If the last day on which a Security may be converted is not a Business Day, the Security may be surrendered on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

(e) Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security. Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Security or Securities in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.

Section 10.04 Taxes on Conversions. If a Holder converts a Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued or delivered in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the Common Stock is to be delivered in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations.

Section 10.05 Company to Provide Stock. The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Securities under this Article 10, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of the Securities.

Any shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Securities shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and shall be free from preemptive or similar rights and shall be free of any lien or adverse claim. The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of Common Stock, if any, upon conversion of Securities, if any, and will list or cause to have quoted such shares of Common Stock on each national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market or such other market on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted.

Section 10.06 Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. If, after the Issue Date of the Securities, the Company:

(a) pays a dividend or makes another distribution payable exclusively in shares of Common Stock on the Common Stock;

(b) subdivides the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares; or

then the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀	x	OS₁
		OS₀

where

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination;

CR₁ =

the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination;

OS₀ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Ex-Dividend Date, or effective date; and

OS₁ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Ex- Dividend Date, or effective date, but after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 10.06 is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Section 10.07 Adjustment for Rights Issue. If, after the Issue Date of the Securities, the Company distributes to all, or substantially all, holders of the Common Stock any rights, warrants or options entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 days after the date of issuance thereof, to subscribe for or to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share of Common Stock less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the ten-consecutive-Trading-Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀	x	(OS₀ + X)
		(OS₀ + Y)

where

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR₁ =

the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

OS₀ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

X =

the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants or options; and

Y =

the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants or options and (B) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the ten-consecutive-Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for the issuance of such rights, warrants or options.

For purposes of this Section 10.07, in determining whether any rights, warrants or options entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase the Company’s Common Stock at less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices for each Trading Day in the applicable ten-consecutive-Trading Day period, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, warrants or options and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

If any right, warrant or option described in this Section 10.07 is not exercised prior to the expiration of the exercisability thereof, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant or option had not been so issued.

Section 10.08 Adjustment for Other Distributions. If, after the Issue Date of the Securities, the Company distributes to all, or substantially all, holders of the Common Stock shares of our Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property, excluding:

(A) dividends, distributions, rights, warrants or options referred to in Section 10.06 or Section 10.07 above;

(B) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and

then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀	x	XX₀
		(XX₀ - FMV)

where

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR₁ =

the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

SP₀ =

the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the ten-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 in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the earlier of the Record Date or the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.08, where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution to all, or substantially all, holders of Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to any Subsidiary or other business unit (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the effective date of the Spin-Off will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀	x	(FMV₀+MP₀)
		MP₀

where

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the Spin-Off;

CR₁ =

the new Conversion Rate after the Spin-Off;

FMV₀ =

the average of the Closing 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 ten consecutive Trading Days after, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; and

MP₀ =

the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Days after, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off.

An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph will occur on the 10th Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the ten Trading Days following, and including, the effective date of any Spin-Off, references within this Section 10.08 to ten 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 Conversion Rate.

If any such dividend or distribution described in this Section 10.08 is declared but not paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Section 10.09 Adjustment for Cash Dividends. If, after the Issue Date of the Securities, the Company makes any cash dividend or distribution to all, or substantially all, holders of the outstanding Common Stock, other than regular quarterly cash dividends (without regard to the actual quarterly period in which paid) that do not exceed the Reference Dividend, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀	x	XX₀
		(XX₀ – C)

where

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR₁ =

the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

SP₀ =

C =

the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock in respect of the applicable quarterly period that exceeds the Reference Dividend.

If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 10.09 is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

The Reference Dividend amount is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Conversion Rate; provided that no adjustment will be made to the Reference Dividend amount for any adjustment made to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.09.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an adjustment is required to be made under this Section 10.09 as a result of a distribution that is not a regular quarterly dividend, the Reference Dividend amount will be deemed to be zero.

Section 10.10 Adjustment for Company Tender Offer. If, after the Issue Date of the Securities, the Company or any of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the 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 Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day following the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀	x	(AC + (SP₁ x OS₁))
		(SP₁ x OS₀)

where

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect on the day immediately following the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR₁ =

the new Conversion Rate in effect after such tender or exchange offer expires;

AC =

the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for the Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS₀ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

OS₁ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares pursuant to such tender or exchange offer); and

SP₁ =

the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the ten-consecutive-Trading-Day period commencing on the Trading Day following the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.10 will occur on the 10th Trading Day from, and including, the Trading Day following the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion within ten Trading Days immediately following, and including, the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references with respect to ten 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 Conversion Rate.

Section 10.11 Additional Adjustments. (h) The Company may, in its sole discretion, increase the Conversion Rate as the Board of Directors deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to Holders of the Securities resulting from any dividend or distribution of Capital Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities (or rights to acquire Capital Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

(b) The Company may, from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors has determined that such increase would be in the Company’s best interests. If the Board of Directors makes such determination, it will be conclusive. The Company will give Holders of the Securities and the Trustee and the Conversion Agent at least 15 days’ prior notice of such an increase in the Conversion Rate.

(c) To the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect upon any conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, a Holder will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights under the rights plan, unless, prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as described in Section 10.08. A further adjustment will occur as described in Section 10.08 above, if such rights become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or assets, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(d) Following:

(i) any reclassification of the Common Stock;

(ii) a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or combination involving the Company; or

(iii) a conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition to another Person or entity of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

the Settlement Amount in respect of the Company’s conversion obligation will be computed as set forth in Section 10.02 above, based on the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive in respect of each share of Common Stock in such transaction (the “Reference Property”) and Reference Property will be delivered in lieu of the shares of Common Stock that would have otherwise been deliverable upon conversion. If holders of the Common Stock would be entitled to elect the kind of consideration for their Common Stock received in any transaction described in the previous sentence, the Company shall make adequate provision (which shall be similar to the provisions of the election to be made holders of the Common Stock) whereby the Holders, treated as a single class, shall have the opportunity, on a timely basis, to determine the composition of the Reference Property that will replace the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be delivered upon conversion. Such determination shall be based on the weighted average of elections made by Holders of the Securities who participate in such determination and shall be subject to any limitations to which all of the holders of the Common Stock are subject, such as pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable. If no Holders participate in such election, then the kind of consideration for their Securities shall be based on the weighted average of the kind and amount of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. The determination of the Reference Property will apply to all of the Securities and the Company will notify the Trustee of the composition of the Reference Property promptly after it is determined.

All calculations under this Article 10 shall be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, if on any Conversion Date there exists a Registration Default (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Holder of any Securities surrendered for conversion shall not be entitled to any Liquidated Damages under the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that the Conversion Rate for the Securities surrendered for conversion on such date only shall be increased such that the Conversion Rate on such Conversion Date or on any Trading Day in determining the Settlement Amount pursuant to Section 10.02 shall be an amount equal to 103% of the then applicable Conversion Rate on such date.

The Company will not take any action that would result in an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10 without complying with the shareholder approval rules of The New York Stock Exchange or any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed at the relevant time.

Section 10.12 When No Adjustment Required. No adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made:

(a) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan or any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(b) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to the Company’s 2004 stock incentive plan or any future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(c) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security and outstanding as of the date the Securities were first issued (unless explicitly otherwise provided in this Article 10);

(d) for a change in the par value of the shares of Common Stock; or

(e) for accrued and unpaid interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any).

Section 10.13 De minimis Impact on Conversion Rate. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this Article 10 to the contrary, the Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate. However, the Company will carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate and make such carried forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, upon any conversion of the Securities.

Section 10.14 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a notice of the adjustment. The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent such notice briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The notice of adjustment shall be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such notice of adjustment except to exhibit the same to any Holder desiring inspection thereof.

Section 10.15 Company Determination Final. Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors must make pursuant to Section 10.06, Section 10.07, Section 10.08, Section 10.09, Section 10.10, Section 10.11, Section 10.12 or Section 10.13 is conclusive, absent manifest error.

Section 10.16 Trustee’s Adjustment Disclaimer. The Trustee has no duty to determine when the Securities are convertible or when an adjustment under this Article 10 should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee shall not be accountable for and makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this Article 10. Each Conversion Agent shall have the same protection under this Section 10.16 as the Trustee.

Section 10.17 Simultaneous Adjustments. In the event that this Article 10 requires adjustments to the Conversion Rate under more than one of Section 10.06, Section 10.07, Section 10.08 or Section 10.09, only one such adjustment shall made by applying, first, the provisions of Section 10.06, second, the provisions of Section 10.08, third, the provisions of Section 10.09 and, fourth, the provisions of Section 10.07.

Section 10.18 Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Article 10, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Article 10 shall cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

Section 10.19 Limitation on Adjustments. The Company shall not take any action that would result in an adjustment pursuant to the foregoing provisions in this Article 10 if that adjustment would reduce the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities.

Section 10.20 Adjustment to Conversion Rate upon Qualifying Fundamental Change Transactions. If, after the Issue Date of the Securities, the QFC Effective Date of a Qualifying Fundamental Change occurs prior to October 1, 2012 and any Securities are surrendered for conversion in connection with such transaction, the Company will increase the Conversion Rate by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) determined pursuant to this Section 10.20. A “Qualifying Fundamental Change” means either (i) the occurrence of any event or transaction described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of Change in Control or (ii) any Termination of Trading; provided, however, that a merger, consolidation, assignment, conveyance, sale, transfer, lease or other disposition otherwise constituting a Change in Control shall not constitute a Qualifying Fundamental Change if at least 90% of the consideration paid for the Common Stock in that transaction, excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights, consists of shares of common stock traded on a U.S. national securities exchange, or will be so traded immediately following the merger or consolidation, and, as a result of the merger or consolidation, the Securities become convertible into shares of such common stock.

A conversion of the Securities will be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Qualifying Fundamental Change transaction if the related Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent during the period described in Section 10.01(a)(v).

The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the anticipated QFC Effective Date of such Qualifying Fundamental Change and issue a press release as soon as practicable after it first determines the anticipated QFC Effective Date of such Qualifying Fundamental Change.

The number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased for conversions in connection with a Qualifying Fundamental Change transaction shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Qualifying Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “QFC Effective Date”), and (1) the price paid per share of the Common Stock in the Change in Control in the case of a Qualifying Fundamental Change described in the clause (ii) of the definition of Change in Control, or (2) in the case of any other Qualifying Fundamental Change, the average of the last reported sale prices of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day preceding the QFC Effective Date of such other Qualifying Fundamental Change (in the case of either clause (1) or (2), the “Stock Price”). If holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in the case of a Qualifying Fundamental Change described in clause (ii) of the definition of Change in Control, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share.

As of any date upon which the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Sections 10.06 through 10.11, the Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table below shall be adjusted such that 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 pursuant to Sections 10.06 through Section 10.11. The number of Additional Shares in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Sections 10.06 through 10.11. If the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the QFC Effective Date is between two QFC Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the two QFC Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year. If the Stock Price is in excess of $30.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth herein), or if the Stock Price is less than $9.84 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth herein), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.

The following table sets forth the increase in the Conversion Rate, expressed as a number of Additional Shares to be added per $1,000 principal amount of Securities.

	Stock Price
QFC Effective Date	$9.84	$10.00	$11.32	$12.00	$14.00	$16.00	$18.00	$20.00	$25.00	$30.00
October 2, 2007	13.2556	12.5356	7.9454	6.3024	3.2304	1.6784	0.8702	0.4379	0.0449	0.0000
October 1, 2008	13.2556	13.1986	8.2134	6.4397	3.1635	1.5560	0.7534	0.3476	0.0227	0.0000
October 1, 2009	13.2556	13.2556	8.2261	6.3255	2.8960	1.3000	0.5579	0.2170	0.0020	0.0000
October 1, 2010	13.2556	13.2556	7.7712	5.7569	2.2932	0.8479	0.2784	0.0752	0.0079	0.0000
October 1, 2011	13.2556	12.7384	6.2297	4.1664	1.0907	0.1988	0.0197	0.0068	0.0027	0.0000
October 1, 2012	13.2418	11.6160	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Conversion Rate as adjusted pursuant to this Section 10.20 exceed 101.626 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.06 through Section 10.11.

Because the Company cannot calculate and deliver the additional conversion consideration due as a result of an increase in the Conversion Rate resulting from a Qualifying Fundamental Change until after the QFC Effective Date has occurred, the Company will not deliver such additional conversion consideration until after the QFC Effective Date even if the settlement date in respect of other conversion consideration occurs earlier. As a result, Holders may receive their Settlement Amount in two payments rather than one. The Company shall deliver the portion of the Settlement Amount that is payable on account of the increase in the Conversion Rate as soon as practicable, but in no event after the third Business Day after the later of: (i) the Conversion Date; (ii) the last Trading Day in the applicable Conversion Settlement Averaging Period; and (iii) the QFC Effective Date.

If any Holder surrenders a Security for conversion in connection with a Qualifying Fundamental Change that the Company has announced, but the Qualifying Fundamental Change is not consummated, then such Holder shall not be entitled to the increased Conversion Rate as described in this section 10.20 in connection with such conversion.

Article 11

PAYMENT OF INTEREST

Section 11.01 Payment of Interest. (i) The Company shall pay interest on the Securities at a rate of 7.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on April 1, 2008, and shall be paid to the Holder of such Security at the close of business on the preceding March 15 and September 15, respectively (each, a “Record Date”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and will accrue from October 9, 2007 or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. In the event of the maturity, conversion, redemption or repurchase of a Security by the Company at the option of the Holder, interest shall cease to accrue on such Security.

(b) If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity, Redemption Date or Repurchase Date (including upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change) falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the required payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date that the payment was due, and no additional interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity, Redemption Date or Repurchase Date, as the case may be, to such next succeeding Business Day.

(c) Upon conversion of a Security, (i) a Holder shall not receive any cash payment of interest and (ii) except as set forth in clause (d) below, the Company’s delivery to a Holder of the full amount of cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof comprising the Settlement Amount as described in Section 10.02(b), together with any cash payment of fractional shares, shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation with respect to the principal amount of such Security, and any accrued but unpaid interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any). As a result, accrued but unpaid interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) up to but excluding the Conversion Date will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

(d) If Securities are surrendered for conversion by a Holder after the close of business on any Record Date but prior to the opening of business on the Interest Payment Date to which such Record Date relates, Holders of such Securities at the close of business on the Record Date will receive an amount equal to the interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) payable on the Securities on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Such Securities, upon surrender for conversion, must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) payable on the Securities so converted on the corresponding Interest Payment Date. However, no such payment shall be made:

(i) in connection with any conversion following the regular Record Date immediately preceding the Stated Maturity;

(ii) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date;

(iii) if a scheduled Redemption Date occurs after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or

(iv) to the extent of any overdue interest (including overdue Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any), if overdue interest, Liquidated Damages or Additional Interest exist at the time of conversion with respect to such Security.

Section 11.02 Additional Interest. Notwithstanding the provisions described in Section 6.02, the sole remedy under this Indenture and any Security for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the Company’s reporting obligations to the Trustee and the SEC, as set forth in Section 4.02 of this Indenture, and for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, shall, for the 180 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Securities at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (the “Additional Interest”). Any such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Securities. The Additional Interest shall accrue on all outstanding Securities from and including the date on which such an Event of Default first occurs to, but not including, the 181st day thereafter (or, if applicable, the earlier date on which such Event of Default is cured or waived). If such Event of Default is continuing on the 181st day after such Event of Default first occurs, the Securities shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. The provisions of this Section 11.02 shall not affect the rights of Holders of Securities in the event of the occurrence of any other Events of Default.

Section 11.03 Defaulted Interest. Any installment of interest that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders in whose names the Securities were registered on the Record Date applicable to such installment of interest. The Company shall make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) to the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Section 11.03. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than ten calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be sent, first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the registration books of the Registrar, not less than ten calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date.

Section 11.04 Interest Rights Preserved. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article 11 and Section 2.06, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

Article 12

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Section 12.01 Guarantee. (j) Subject to this Article 12, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i) the principal of and interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) on the Securities will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest (including Liquidated Damages and Additional Interest, if any) on the Securities, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either the Company or the Guarantors to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 12.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 12, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or voidable preference.

Section 12.03 Releases. A Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee:

(i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor (or the shares of any holding company of such Guarantor (other than the Company)) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or any of the Company’s other Subsidiaries, provided that after giving effect to such transaction, such Guarantor is released from any liability relating to, or is no longer a guarantor of, any indebtedness of the Company or any of the Company’s other Subsidiaries; provided, further, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the foregoing conditions precedent to the release of the Subsidiary Guarantee have been satisfied;

(ii) upon satisfaction and discharge of the Securities as provided in Section 8.01 of this Indenture;

(iii) upon the full and final payment and performance of all of the Company’s obligations under the Securities; or

(iv) in accordance with Article 5.

Upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.
