Each such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall comply with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and any other requirements set forth in this Indenture.

SECTION 1.4 Acts of Holders of Securities; Record Dates.

(1) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities may be embodied in and evidenced by (A) one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed (either physically or by means of a facsimile or an electronic transmission, provided that such electronic transmission is transmitted through the facilities of a Depositary) by such Holders in person or by an agent or proxy duly appointed in writing by such Holders or (B) the record of Holders of Securities voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article IX. Such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record is delivered (either physically or by means of a facsimile or an electronic transmission, provided that such electronic transmission is transmitted through the facilities of a Depositary) to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of all such instruments and records delivered to the Trustee. Such instrument or instruments and records (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders of Securities signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent or proxy, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.6. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a

Holder, including a Depositary that is a Holder of a Global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies, duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depositary that is a Holder of a Global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Security.

(2) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

(3) The aggregate principal amount and serial number of any Security held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

(4) The fact and date of execution of any such instrument or writing and the authority of the Person executing the same may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient; and the Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section 1.4.

(5) The Company may set any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action, authorized or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders. Promptly and in any case not later than ten days after setting a record date, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders of such record date. If the Company elects to set a Record Date but it is not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 15.1) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such date (or their duly appointed agents or proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to give or take, or vote on, the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, any notice, declaration or direction referred to in the next paragraph.

Upon actual receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee from any Holder of (i) any notice of default or breach referred to in Section 5.1(4), if such default or breach has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee shall not have given such a notice to the Company, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee shall not have given such a declaration to the Company, or (iii) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, if the Trustee shall not have taken the action specified in such direction, then, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii), a record date shall automatically and without any action by the Company or the Trustee be set for determining the Holders entitled to join in such declaration or

direction, which record date shall be the close of business on the tenth day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter) following the day on which the Trustee so receives such declaration or direction, and, with respect to clause (i), the Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to join in such notice of default. Promptly after such receipt by the Trustee of any such declaration or direction referred to in clause (ii) or (iii), and promptly after setting any record date with respect to clause (i), and as soon as practicable thereafter, the Trustee shall notify the Company and the Holders of any such record date so fixed. The Holders on such record date (or their duly appointed agents or proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such notice, declaration or direction shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities on such record date (or their duly appointed agents or proxies) having joined therein on or prior to the 60th day after such record date, such notice, declaration or direction shall automatically and without any action by any Person be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent or proxy thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 60-day period, a notice, declaration or direction contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, the notice, declaration or direction to which such record date relates, in which event a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. In addition, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any notice, declaration or direction of the type referred to in this paragraph given at any time to the Trustee and the Company by Holders (or their duly appointed agents or proxies) of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities on the date such notice, declaration or direction is so given.

(6) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

(7) The provisions of this Section 1.4 are subject to the provisions of Section 9.5.

SECTION 1.5 Notices, Etc. to the Trustee and Company.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of Holders of Securities or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder of Securities shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing in the English language, mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or telecopied (receipt confirmed), or delivered by hand or overnight courier, addressed to the Company at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Chief Legal Officer, Facsimile: (000) 000-0000, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

All notices and communications to the Trustee will be deemed to have been duly given when actually received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee.

SECTION 1.6 Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders if in writing in the English language and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or telecopied (receipt confirmed), or delivered by an overnight delivery service, to each Holder of a Security affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice.

Neither the failure to mail or deliver such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed or delivered, to any particular Holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.

Such notice shall be deemed to have been given when such notice is mailed or delivered to the overnight delivery service, as applicable, and shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Payment of interest on

this Security may be made by United States Dollar check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or, upon written application by the Holder to the Security Registrar setting forth wire instructions not later than the relevant Record Date, by transfer to a United States Dollar account maintained in The City of New York (such a transfer to be made only to a Holder of an aggregate principal amount of Securities in excess of U.S.$2,000,000 and only if such Holder shall have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the relevant payment date).

Except as specifically provided herein or in the Indenture, the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof or an Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of their respective authorized signatories, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its “7.625% Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2027” (herein called the “Securities”), limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S.$115,000,000 (or $140,000,000 if the Initial Purchaser exercises in full its option to purchase additional Securities), issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 15, 2007 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

No sinking fund is provided for the Securities.

Prior to May 20, 2012, the Securities shall not be redeemable, except as described below. On or after May 20, 2012, or earlier if necessary to preserve the Company’s qualification as a REIT for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the Securities for cash at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Interest installments on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. Whenever in this Security there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Redemption Price payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such Redemption Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of the Redemption Price in any provision of this Security shall not be construed as excluding the Redemption Price so payable in those provisions of this Security when such express mention is not made.

In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on any Security or the last day on which a Holder of a Security has a right to convert his Security shall not be a Business Day, at any Place of Payment or Place of Conversion as the case may be, then payment of principal, interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) or delivery for conversion of such Security need not be made on or by such date at such place but may be made on or by the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion, as the case may be, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment, or by such last day for conversion, and if the payment is made on such next succeeding Business Day no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period after such due date.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to repurchase, at the option of the Holder on May 15, 2012, May 15, 2017 and May 15, 2022 (each a “Repurchase Date”), all or a portion of the Securities held by such Holder, in any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000, for cash at a price per Security equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of

the Security (the “Repurchase Price”), together with accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) thereon to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date upon delivery of a Repurchase Notice containing the information set forth in the Indenture, together with the Securities subject thereto, at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 30 Business Days prior to such Repurchase Date until the close of business on the Business Day prior to such Repurchase Date, and upon delivery of the Securities to the Paying Agent by the Holder as set forth in the Indenture.

If cash sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price and accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on all Securities or portions thereof to be repurchased as of the Repurchase Date is held by the Paying Agent by 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the Repurchase Date, interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) shall cease to accrue on such Securities (or portions thereof) as of such Repurchase Date and the Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such, other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price and interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) upon surrender of such Security.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 12.1(1) of the Indenture, a Holder of a Security may convert any portion of the principal amount of any Security that is an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 into cash and fully paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share) of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.14 of the Indenture; provided that if such Security is called for redemption or delivered for repurchase pursuant to Article XI, XIII or XIV of the Indenture, the conversion right will terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as applicable, of such Security (unless the Company shall default in making the redemption or repurchase payment when due, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such default is cured and such Security is redeemed or repurchased). Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 12.1(1) of the Indenture, such conversion right shall commence on the initial issuance date of the Securities and expire at the close of business on the date of maturity, subject, in the case of conversion of any Global Security, to any Applicable Procedures. The Conversion Price shall, as of the date of the Indenture, initially be $11.70 per share of Common Stock. The Conversion Rate shall, as of the date of the Indenture, initially be approximately 85.4701. The Conversion Price and Conversion Rate will be adjusted under the circumstances specified in the Indenture. Upon conversion, no adjustment for interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) or dividends will be made. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion; in lieu thereof, an amount will be paid in cash in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.14(3) of the Indenture. Except as provided in Section 12.2(3) of the Indenture, delivery of the Principal Return, Net Shares and cash in lieu of fractional shares shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of a converted Security and accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) thereon. Any accrued interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) payable on a converted Security will be deemed paid in full, rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited.

In addition, following certain corporate transactions that occur on or prior to May 15, 2012 and that constitute a Fundamental Change under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Fundamental Change in Section 14.3(2)), a Holder who elects to convert its Securities in connection with such corporate transaction will be entitled to receive Additional Shares of Common Stock upon conversion in certain circumstances set forth in the Indenture, subject to the provisions of Section 12.1(2) of the Indenture.

To convert a Security, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the conversion notice set forth below, if the Security is in definitive form, and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (b) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (c) if the Security is in definitive form, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Security Registrar or the Conversion Agent, (d) pay any transfer or other tax, if required and (e) if the Security is held in book-entry form, complete and deliver to the Depositary appropriate instructions pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. If a Holder surrenders a Security for conversion between the close of business on the Regular Record Date and prior to the opening of business on the related Interest Payment Date, including the date of maturity, the Security must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of the Security or portion thereof then converted; provided that no such payment shall be required if such Security has been called for redemption on a Redemption Date within the period between close of business on such Record Date and the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date, or if such Security is surrendered for conversion on the Interest Payment Date. A Holder may convert a portion of a Security equal to U.S.$1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a repurchase notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to repurchase such Security as provided in Article XIII or Article XIV, respectively, of the Indenture may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

If this Security is a Registrable Security (as defined in the Indenture), then the Holder of this Security (including any Person that has a beneficial interest in this Security) and the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion hereof is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement.

Whenever in this Security there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of interest on, or in respect of, any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to Additional Interest and Special Interest, as described in the preceding paragraph, if any, payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any, is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any, in any provision of this Security shall not be construed as excluding Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any, so payable in those provisions of this Security when such express mention is not made.

If this Security is a Registrable Security and the Holder of this Security (including any Person that has a beneficial interest in this Security) elects to sell this Security pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement then, by its acceptance hereof, such Holder of this Security agrees to be bound by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Registrable Securities which are the subject of such election.

If a Fundamental Change occurs, the Holder of this Security, at the Holder’s option, shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, to require the Company to repurchase this Security (or any portion of the aggregate principal amount hereof that is at least U.S.$1,000 or an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof, provided that the portion of the aggregate principal amount of this Security to be Outstanding after such repurchase is at least equal to U.S.$1,000) for cash at a Fundamental Change Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) accrued to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as provided in the Indenture. Whenever in this Security there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in any provision of this Security shall not be construed as excluding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price so payable in those provisions of this Security when such express mention is not made.

If this Security is a Global Security, then, in the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Security, including an exchange, transfer, redemption, repurchase or conversion of this Security in part only, the Trustee, as custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities, together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable, together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest, all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities shall terminate.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with either (a) the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, or (b) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities represented and entitled to vote at such meeting. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security or such other Security. Certain modifications or amendments to the Indenture require the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected.

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

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair (without the consent of the Holder hereof) the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on this Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed or to convert this Security as provided in the Indenture.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable on the Security Register upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at such office or agency of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in The City of New York, or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees by the Security Registrar. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the Security or Securities to be exchanged, at such office or agency of the Company. The Company upon such surrender by the Holder will issue, and the Trustee will authenticate, the new Securities in the requested denominations. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

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

No recourse for the payment of the principal or interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, member, manager, partner, employee, agent, officer or director or direct or indirect subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Company or any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released by the Holder hereof.

THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

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

(1) The Securities shall be known and designated as the “7.625% Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2027” of the Company. The Stated Maturity with respect to the principal of the Securities shall be May 15, 2027 and they shall bear interest on their aggregate principal amount from May 15, 2007, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 in each year, commencing November 15, 2007, at the rate of 7.625% per annum until the principal thereof is due and at the rate of 7.625% per annum on any overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue interest; provided, however, that payments shall only be made on a Business Day as provided in Section 1.12.

The principal of and interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on the Securities shall be payable as provided in the form of Securities set forth in Section 2.2, and the Repurchase Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, and the Redemption Price shall be payable at such places in The City of New York, as are identified in the applicable notice given by the Company or the Trustee on its behalf pursuant to Section 11.5, Section 13.1 or Section 14.2, as appropriate (each location of any Paying Agent in The City of New York is being herein called a “Place of Payment”).

The Registrable Securities are entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement and in the form of Security set forth in Section 2.2. The Securities are entitled to the payment of Additional Interest as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement and in the form of Security set forth in Section 2.2. Whenever in this Indenture there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of interest on, or in respect of, any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any, payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any, is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any, in any provision of this Indenture shall not be construed as excluding Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any, so payable in those provisions of this Indenture when such express mention is not made.

The Securities shall be redeemable at the option of the Company at any time on or after May 20, 2012, in whole or in part, subject to the conditions and as otherwise provided in Article XI and in the form of Security set forth in Section 2.2.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee or to its order 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 make available for delivery such Securities as in this Indenture provided.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

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

SECTION 3.4 Global Securities; Non-global Securities; Book-entry Provisions.

(1) Global Securities

(i) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated by the Company for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

(ii) Except for exchanges of Global Securities for definitive, Non-global Securities at the sole discretion of the Company, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so, and in either such event, a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, or (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security and the Depositary notifies the Trustee of its decision to exchange such Global Security for definitive Non-global Securities. In any such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon actual receipt by a Responsible Officer of an Officers’ Certificate directing the authentication and delivery of Securities and an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto, will authenticate and deliver pursuant to such instructions, Securities, in any authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Security in exchange for such Global Security.

(iii) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the Trustee, as Security Registrar, for exchange or cancellation, as provided in this Article III. If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, in each case, as provided in Section 3.5, then either (A) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation, as provided in this Article III, or (B) the aggregate principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the aggregate principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as Security Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 3.5(3) and as otherwise provided in this Article III, authenticate and make available for delivery any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its authorized representative. Upon the request of the Trustee in connection with the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Securities that are not in the form of Global Securities. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article III and the Trustee shall require an Officers’ Certificate directing the authentication and delivery of the Securities and an Opinion of Counsel related thereto.

(iv) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article III or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a registered Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof, in which case such Security shall be authenticated and delivered in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(v) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Security will be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members and such owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be considered the owners or holders thereof.

(2) Non-global Securities. Securities issued upon the events described in Section 3.4(l)(ii) shall be in definitive, fully registered form and without interest coupons, and shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend if and as required by this Indenture.

SECTION 3.5 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Restrictions on Transfer.

(1) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers and exchanges of Securities as herein provided.

Subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.5, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.2 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

At the option of the Holder, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.5, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.5, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities except as provided in Section 3.6, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 8.5, 12.2, 13.4 or 14.2 not involving any transfer.

In the event of a redemption of the Securities, neither the Company nor the Securities Registrar will be required (a) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities called for such redemption or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security, or portion thereof, called for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Securities being redeemed in part.

(2) Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities, transfers and exchanges of Securities and beneficial interests in a Global Security of the kinds specified in this Section 3.5(2) shall be made only in accordance with this Section 3.5(2).

(i) Restricted Global Security to Restricted Non-global Security. In the event that Non-global Securities are to be issued pursuant to Section 3.4(1)(ii) in connection with any transfer of Securities, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Clause (2)(i) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon actual receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, as Security Registrar, of (A) a Company Order from the Company directing the Trustee, as Security Registrar, to (x) authenticate and deliver pursuant to such Order one or more Securities of the same aggregate principal amount as the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security to be transferred, such instructions to contain the name or names of the designated transferee or transferees, the authorized denomination or denominations of the Securities to be so issued and appropriate delivery instructions and (y) decrease the beneficial interest of a specified Agent Member’s account in a Restricted Global Security by a specified aggregate principal amount not greater than the aggregate principal amount of such Restricted Global Security, and (B) such other certifications, legal opinions or other information as the Company or the Trustee may require for any reason, including to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or that the transfer is being made pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall decrease the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the specified amount and authenticate and deliver Securities in accordance with such instructions from the Company as provided in Section 3.4(1)(iii).

(ii) Restricted Non-global Security to Restricted Global Security. If the Holder of a Restricted Security (other than a Global Security) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such Restricted Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Clause (2)(ii) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon actual receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, as Security Registrar, of (A) such Restricted Security as provided in Section 3.5(1) and instructions from the Company directing that a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security in a specified aggregate principal amount not greater than the aggregate principal amount of such Security be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account, and (B) a Restricted Securities Certificate, satisfactory to

the Trustee, and duly executed by such Holder or its attorney duly authorized in writing, then the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall cancel such Restricted Security (and issue a new Restricted Security in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 3.5(1) and increase the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the specified aggregate principal amount as provided in Section 3.4(1)(iii).

(iii) Exchanges Between Global Security and Non-global Security. A beneficial interest in a Global Security may be exchanged for a Security that is not a Global Security only as provided in Section 3.4 or only if such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer effected in accordance with Clause 2(i) above, provided that, if such interest is a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security, then such interest shall be exchanged for a Restricted Security (subject in each case to Section 3.5(3)). A Security that is not a Global Security may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security only if such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer effected in accordance with Clause (2)(ii) above.

(3) Securities Act Legends. All Securities originally issued pursuant to this Indenture, and all Successor Securities, shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend, subject to the following:

(i) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.5(3), a Security or any portion thereof which is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend borne by such Global Security for which the Security was exchanged;

(ii) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.5(3), a new Security that is not a Global Security and is issued in exchange for another Security (including a Global Security) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend borne by the Security for which the new Security was exchanged;

(iii) any Securities that are sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act (including the Shelf Registration Statement), together with their successor Securities, shall not bear a Restricted Securities Legend; the Company shall inform the Trustee in writing of the effective date of any such registration statement registering the Securities under the Securities Act, shall notify the Trustee in writing at any time when prospectuses must be delivered with respect to Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration statement and, if a Global Security without the Restricted Securities Legend is not then Outstanding, the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order as provided in Section 3.3, the Trustee shall authenticate a Global Security without the Restricted Securities Legend and make the same available for delivery to the Depositary or its custodian; provided, however, neither the Trustee nor any of its agents shall be liable, and the Company shall indemnify the Trustee and each such agent, for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned registration statement;

(iv) at any time after the Securities may be freely transferred without registration under the Securities Act or without being subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Securities Act, a new Security that does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security (other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof that bears such a legend if a

Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actually received an Unrestricted Securities Certificate, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by, or on behalf of, the Holder of such Security bearing a Restricted Securities Legend or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall at the direction of the Company in a Company Order authenticate and make available for delivery such new Security in exchange for or in lieu of such other Security as provided in this Article III;

(v) a new Security that does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security or any portion thereof that bears such a legend if, in the Company’s judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Security is not necessary to ensure compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the direction of the Company in a Company Order to such effect, shall authenticate and make available for delivery such a new Security as provided in this Article III; and

(vi) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5(3), a successor Security of a Security that does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend shall not bear such legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such successor Security is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144, in which case the Trustee, at the direction of the Company in a Company Order to such effect, shall authenticate and make available for delivery a new Security bearing a Restricted Securities Legend in exchange for such Successor Security as provided in this Article III.

(4) Any stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend borne by such Securities, to the extent required by this Indenture, unless such shares of Common Stock have been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (including the Shelf Registration Statement) (and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing with written notice thereof to the transfer agent for the Common Stock. With respect to the transfer of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities that are restricted hereunder, any deliveries of certificates, legal opinions or other instruments that would be required to be made to the Security Registrar in the case of a transfer of Securities, as described above, shall instead be made to the transfer agent for the Common Stock.

(5) Neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Security Registrar, the Conversion Agent or any other Agent nor any of their respective agents shall (i) have any duty to monitor compliance with or with respect to any Federal or state or other securities or tax laws or (ii) have any duty to obtain documentation on any transfers or exchanges other than as specifically and expressly required hereunder.

SECTION 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee (together with such security or indemnity as may be satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to fully protect each of them and any Agent or other agent of either of them or any Agent, from any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense which any of them may suffer or incur if the Security is replaced), the Company shall execute and,

upon actual receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of a Company Request to such effect, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee:

(1) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and

(2) such security, indemnity bond or other indemnity as may be satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to fully protect and hold harmless each of them and any Agent or other agent of either of them or any Agent from any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense which any of them may suffer or incur, if the Security is replaced,

then, in the absence of actual notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon actual receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of a Company Request to such effect, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. If, after the delivery of such new Security, a protected holder of the original Security in lieu of which such new Security was issued presents for payment or registration or transfer such original Security, the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new Security from the party to whom it was delivered or any party taking therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense incurred by the Company, the Trustee or any Agent in connection therewith.

In case any Security which has become, or is about to become, due and payable is submitted for repurchase or the repayment pursuant to Article XI, Article XIII or Article XIV, respectively, or is about to be converted into Common Stock pursuant to Article XII shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion, but subject to any conversion rights, may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of such Security (without surrender thereof, except in the case of a mutilated Security), upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, 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 (other than any stamp and other duties, if any, which may be imposed in connection therewith by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, which shall be paid by the Company) and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and such new Security shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued, authenticated and delivered hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 3.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies of any Holder with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

SECTION 3.7 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Subject to the last paragraph of this Section, interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a “Special Record Date” for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security, the date of the proposed payment and the Special Record Date, 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 Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. The Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the actual receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee, 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 mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Securities may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.7 and Section 3.5, 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.

Interest on any Security that is converted in accordance with Section 12.2 during a Record Date Period shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2.

SECTION 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Securities Registrar, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent and any other Agent, and any agent of the Company, the Trustee, the Securities Registrar, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent or any other Agent 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 and (subject to Section 3.7) interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Securities Registrar, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent nor any other Agent nor any agent of the Company, the Trustee, the Securities Registrar, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent or any other Agent, shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary (including through its nominee) shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary (including through its nominee) may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and each Agent and any agent of the Company or the Trustee or any Agent, as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee or any Agent or any agent of the Company or the Trustee or any Agent of the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

SECTION 3.9 Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, repurchase, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Securities so delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Security which the Company may have acquired in any manner. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section 3.9. The Trustee shall dispose of all canceled Securities held by the Trustee in accordance with applicable law and its customary practices in effect from time to time. Upon written request of the Company actually received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver certification of the disposal of all cancelled Securities to the Company.

SECTION 3.10 Computation of Interest.

Interest on the Securities (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 3.11 CUSIP Numbers.

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

(6) any indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) under any bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed or issued by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company, or any guarantee by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company, with an aggregate principal amount in excess of U.S.$10,000,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, is not paid when due (either at its stated maturity or upon acceleration thereof), and such indebtedness is not discharged, or such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, within a period of 30 days after there has been given written notice, sent by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such indebtedness to be discharged or cause such default to be cured or waived or such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(7) or 5.1(8)) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) thereon shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(7) or 5.1(8) occurs, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on, all the Securities shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other Act of the Holders or any act on the part of the Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent elected by the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with the provisions of Section 15.4 of this Indenture shall, for the first 120 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive special interest (“Special Interest”) on the Securities

at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Securities. Such Special Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date following the date on which such Special Interest began to accrue on the Securities. Special Interest shall accrue on all Outstanding Securities from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the provisions of Section 15.4 shall first occur to but not including the 120th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived). On such 120th day (or earlier, if the Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 15.4 is cured or waived prior to such 120th day), such Special Interest shall cease to accrue and, if the Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 15.4 shall not have been cured or waived prior to such 120th day, the Securities shall be subject to acceleration as provided in this Section 5.2. The provisions of this paragraph shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company shall not elect to pay Special Interest upon an Event of Default resulting from the failure of the Company to comply with the provisions of Section 15.4, the Securities shall be subject to acceleration as provided above in this Section 5.2.

If the Company shall elect to pay Special Interest in connection with an Event of Default relating to its failure to comply with the requirements of Section 15.4, (1) the Company shall notify all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election in writing on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default shall first occur, and (2) all references herein to interest accrued or payable as of any date shall include any Special Interest accrued or payable as of such date as provided in this Section 5.2.

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

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

(i) all overdue interest on all Securities,

(ii) the principal on any Securities that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) thereon at the rate borne by the Securities,

(iii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest upon overdue interest at a rate of 7.625% per annum, and

(iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee or any Agent hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of each of the Trustee and such Agents and their respective agents and counsel;

(2) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on, Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13; and

(3) such rescission and annulment would not conflict with any judgment or decree issued in appropriate judicial proceedings regarding the payment by the Trustee to the Holders of the amounts referred to in Section 5.2(1).

No rescission or annulment referred to above shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if:

(1) default is made in the payment of any interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on any Security when it becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal on any Security at the Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon written demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on any overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on any overdue interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any), at a rate of 7.625% per annum, and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the

Company or of such other obligor or the creditors of either, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of, and any interest on, the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(1) to file a proof of claim for the whole amount of principal and interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and take such other actions, including participating as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter, and to file such other papers or documents, in each of the foregoing cases, as may be necessary or advisable, and to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act, in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders of Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(2) to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Securities to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of such Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

SECTION 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 5.6 Application of Money Collected.

Any money or other property collected or to be applied by the Trustee pursuant to this Article V shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or other property on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of or accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on, the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any), respectively;

THIRD: To such other Person or Persons, if any, to the extent entitled thereto; and

FOURTH: Any remaining amounts shall be repaid to the Company.

The Trustee shall notify the Company in writing of the payment date or dates fixed by the Trustee pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 5.7 Limitation on Suits.

Subject to Section 5.8 below, no Holder of any Security shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of an Event of Default and such Event of Default is continuing at the time of such institution;

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

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee, and if requested, shall have provided to the Trustee, security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its actual receipt by a Responsible Officer of such notice under Section 5.7(1), request under

5.7(2) and offer of security or indemnity (or if requested, actual receipt of security or indemnity) under Section 5.7(3) has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60 day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities,

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

herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

SECTION 5.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest and to Convert.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repurchase, on the Redemption Date, Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be), and to convert such Security in accordance with Article XII, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.9 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or (subject to the limitations contained in this Indenture) by the Holders of Securities as the case may be.

SECTION 5.12 Control by Holders of Securities.

Subject to Section 6.3, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that

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

(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

(3) the Trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities not consenting or that it in good faith believes would otherwise be contrary to applicable law.

SECTION 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders, either (i) through the written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities or (ii) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities represented at such meeting, may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default (A) in the payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on any Security, or (B) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.14 Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee or otherwise, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities or such other dates when due as expressed herein or in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repurchase, on or after the Redemption Date, Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be) or for the enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article XII.

SECTION 5.15 Waiver of Stay, Usury or Extension Laws.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, usury 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 covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede by reason of any such law the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture, but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but not to confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or otherwise verify or investigate the facts stated therein or the contents thereof.

(2) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(3) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that

(i) this paragraph (3) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph (1) of this Section;

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

SECTION 6.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture, of the Securities or of the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Securities. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent, nor any agent of the Trustee or any Agent, shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 6.5 May Hold Securities, Act as Trustee under Other Indentures.

The Trustee, the Securities Registrar, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent, any other Agent, or any other agent of the Company, the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, or any Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Securities Registrar, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or other Agent, or any such other agent or Affiliate.

The Trustee may become and act as trustee under other indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding in the same manner as if it were not Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 6.6 Money Held in Trust.

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

SECTION 6.7 Compensation and Reimbursement.

The Company agrees:

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

(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee (including costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder of Securities or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise of any of its powers or duties hereunder) in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its own negligence or willful misconduct; and

(3) to fully indemnify each of the Trustee, any Agent and any predecessor of the same (and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, damage, cost or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder of Securities or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

The Trustee shall have prior to the Securities a lien on and claim to all money or other property held, collected or controlled by the Trustee to secure the Company’s payment obligations in Section 6.7 and the performance by the Company of its other obligations to the Trustee, in each of its capacities, under this Indenture, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on the Securities.

Without limiting any rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(7) or Section 5.1(8), the expenses (including the charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of the administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the payment in full of the Securities or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

SECTION 6.8 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such, having (or be part of a holding company group with) a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority, and in good standing. The Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee shall maintain an established place of business in The City of New York. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Trustee shall not be an obligor upon the Securities or an Affiliate of any obligor thereon. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article and a successor shall be appointed pursuant to Section 6.9.

SECTION 6.9 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(1) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.10.

(2) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(3) The Trustee may be removed at any time by an Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the removed Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(4) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.8 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

(ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case (i) the Company may remove the Trustee, or (ii) subject

to Section 5.14, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(5) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section and Section 6.10. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.10, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by this Section and Section 6.10, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(6) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 6.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 6.12 Authenticating Agents.

The Trustee may, upon notice to the Company, appoint an “Authenticating Agent” or Agents reasonably acceptable to the Company with respect to the Securities, which Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon exchange or substitution pursuant to this Indenture.

Securities authenticated by an Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder, and every reference in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be subject to acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld by the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent and subject to supervision or examination by government or other fiscal authority. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.12, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 6.12.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent (including the authenticating agency contemplated by this Indenture), shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 6.12, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon actual receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.12, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be subject to acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld by the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.12.

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 6.12.

If an Authenticating Agent is appointed with respect to the Securities pursuant to this Section 6.12, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s certification of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

Securities or (ii) the adoption of a resolution at a meeting of Holders of the Outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present by the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities represented at such meeting, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee or any Paying or Conversion Agent in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 10.9 Additional Interest.

If Additional Interest is payable under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which Additional Interest is due and payable, as specified in the Registration Rights Agreement. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Additional Interest is due or payable. If Additional Interest has been paid by the Company directly to the persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Additional Interest, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Additional Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Additional Interest.

ARTICLE XI

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 11.1 Right of Redemption.

The Company may redeem the Securities for cash in whole, or from time to time in part (which must be equal to U.S.$1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) (a) at any time prior to Maturity to the extent necessary to preserve the Company’s qualification as a REIT for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, or (b) at any time on or after May 20, 2012, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Whenever in this Indenture (including Sections 2.2, 3.1, 5.1(1) and 5.8) there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Redemption Price payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such Redemption Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of the Redemption Price in any provision of this Indenture shall not be construed as excluding the Redemption Price in those provisions of this Indenture when such express mention is not made.

Interest installments on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates.

Securities or portions of the Securities called for redemption shall be convertible by the Holder in accordance with the provisions of Article XII until the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date.

SECTION 11.2 Applicability of Article.

Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of the Securities or this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article XI.

SECTION 11.3 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 11.1, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and whether it requests the Trustee to give notice of such redemption.

The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 11.3 at least ten Business Days (unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period) before the date of giving notice of a redemption pursuant to Section 11.l. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such redemption will comply with this Indenture.

SECTION 11.4 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee may deem fair and appropriate.

If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection. The Trustee shall notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the aggregate principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 11.5 Notice of Redemption.

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, and such notice shall be irrevocable.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(1) the Redemption Date,

(2) the Redemption Price, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any), to, but excluding, the Redemption Date,

(3) if less than all Outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which will be outstanding after such partial redemption,

(4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any), to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,

(5) the Conversion Rate, the date on which the right to convert the Securities to be redeemed will terminate and the places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion,

(6) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any), to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and

(7) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number that is listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.

The notice shall specify the serial and CUSIP numbers (if any) and the portions thereof called for redemption and that transfers and exchanges may occur on or prior to the Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s written request in accordance with Section 11.3, by the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company; provided that, in the event the Trustee is to give such notice, the Company has delivered to the Trustee all the information to be included in such notice including information required by this Section 11.5.

SECTION 11.6 Deposit of Redemption Price

Prior to 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money (which shall be in immediately available funds on such Redemption Date) sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date other than any Securities called for redemption on that date which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit.

If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall (subject to any right of the Holder of such Security or any Predecessor Security to receive interest as provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.7) be paid to the Company or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

SECTION 11.7 Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price, including accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price together with accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, provided, however, that installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid on the Redemption Date, the aggregate principal amount of and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, accrued interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on such Security shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at a rate of 7.625% per annum and such Security shall remain convertible until the Redemption Price of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for.

Any Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Corporate Trust Office or an office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and, upon its actual receipt by a Responsible Officer of a Company Order to such effect, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

SECTION 11.8 Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption.

In connection with any redemption of Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers (the “Purchasers”) to purchase such Securities by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Holders, before 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, an amount not less than the applicable Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date of such Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent

such amount is so paid by such Purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into (a copy of which shall be filed with the Trustee prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Redemption Date), any Securities called for redemption that are not duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and consistent with any agreement or agreements with such Purchasers, to be acquired by such Purchasers from such Holders and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article XII) surrendered by such Purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date (and the right to convert any such Securities shall be extended through such time), subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. At the direction of the Company, pursuant to a written Company Order, the Trustee shall hold and dispose of any such amount paid to it by the Purchasers to the Holders in the same manner as it would money deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Securities. Without the Trustee’s prior written consent expressly authorizing a change, no arrangement between the Company and such Purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Securities shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee as set forth in this Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with any such arrangement for the purchase and conversion of any Securities between the Company and such Purchasers, including the costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred by the Trustee in the defense of any claim or liability arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Indenture.

ARTICLE XII

CONVERSION OF THE SECURITIES

SECTION 12.1 Conversion Privilege.

(1) Subject to the provisions of this Article XII, a Holder of a Security may convert each $1,000 principal amount of Securities into cash and Common Stock, if any, at any time prior to the second Business Day prior to May 15, 2027 at the Conversion Price if any of the conditions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) below is satisfied.

(i) during any fiscal quarter (the “Quarter”) commencing after the Issue Date, if the Common Stock Price for at least 20 Trading Days in the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the Quarter immediately preceding such Quarter (appropriately adjusted to take into account the occurrence, during such 30 consecutive Trading Day period, of any event requiring adjustment of the Conversion Price under this Indenture) is more than 130% of the Conversion Price on such 30th Trading Day;

(ii) during the five consecutive Business Day period after any five consecutive Trading Day period in which the Trading Price per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Securities, as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures described below in Section 12.1(5), for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the Common Stock Price for each day of that period and the then-current Conversion Rate;

(iii) such Security has been called for redemption by the Company pursuant to Section 11.1, so long as the Holder surrenders such Security for conversion prior to the close of business on the date that is two Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date, even if the Security is not otherwise convertible at such time;

(iv)(A) a distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock of rights, warrants or options entitling them (for a period expiring not more than 60 days after the date of distribution) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the average Common Stock Price for the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the date such distribution was first publicly announced; or

(B) a distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock of cash or other assets, evidences of Company indebtedness, rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for Capital Stock or other securities of the Company, where the fair market value of such distribution per share of Common Stock (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) exceeds 15% of the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such distribution was first publicly announced;

provided that the Holder shall have no right to convert any Security pursuant to this Section 12.1(1)(iv) if the Holder of a Security otherwise participates in the distribution described in this Section 12.1(1)(iv) on an as-converted basis (solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price) without conversion of such Holder’s Securities;

(v) if the Company is party to a Fundamental Change or a consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale of all or substantially all of its properties and assets or other similar transaction, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock is subject to conversion into cash, securities or other property, at any time from and after the 20^th scheduled Trading Day prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction and ending on the 20^th Trading Day following the effective date of such transaction. The Company shall give written notice to all Holders and the Trustee at least 30 scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction;

(vi) at any time during the period beginning 30 days prior to, and including, the second Business Day prior to any Conversion Transaction or Repurchase Date or May 15, 2027.

(2) If a Holder elects to convert its Securities in connection with a corporate transaction described in bullet (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Fundamental Change that occurs on or prior to May 15, 2012, then the Conversion Rate of the Securities being converted by such Holder at that time shall be increased so that such Holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to the cash and Common Stock, if any, such Holder is otherwise entitled to receive, a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) determined in the manner set forth below; provided that if the Share Price in such transaction is greater than U.S.$36.00 or less than U.S.$9.55 (subject in each case to adjustment as described below), no increase in the Conversion Rate shall be made; and provided further that in no event will the Conversion Rate exceed 104.7120 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Price as set forth in this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustment provided for in this Section 12.1(2) shall only be made with respect to the Securities being converted in connection with such Fundamental Change and shall not be effective as to any Securities not so converted.

The increase in the Conversion Rate expressed as a number of Additional Shares per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Securities will be determined by the Company by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date the corporate transaction becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the share price paid per share of Common Stock in the corporate transaction (the “Share Price”); provided that if holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such corporate transaction, the Share Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Share Price will be the average of the Common Stock Price on the five Trading Days prior to but not including the Effective Date; provided further that if the Share Price is between two Share Price amounts in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the Company shall determine the number of Additional Shares by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Share Price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.

The Share Prices set forth in the first row of the table (i.e., column headers) in Schedule A hereto will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Price of the Securities is adjusted pursuant to the Indenture. The adjusted Share Prices will equal the Share Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Price immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Common Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Price as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares will be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Price as set forth in this Indenture.

(3) In the case of the foregoing Sections 12.1(1)(iv)(A) and 12.1(1)(iv)(B), the Company shall cause a notice of such distribution to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent and to be mailed to each Holder of Securities at least 20 days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time thereafter until the earlier of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Ex-Dividend Date or the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place. The “Ex-Dividend Date” for any such distribution means the date immediately prior to the commencement of “ex-dividend” trading for such distribution on the New York Stock Exchange or such other United States national securities exchange or system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

(4) For each Quarter of the Company commencing after the Issue Date, the Company will determine, on the first Business Day following the last Trading Day of the prior Quarter, whether the Securities are convertible pursuant to clause (i) of Section 12.1(1), and, if so, will notify the Trustee in writing.

(5) The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Securities and whether the Securities are convertible pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 12.1(1) unless the Company has requested such determination. After a Holder of the Securities provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Securities is reasonably likely to be less than 98% of the product of the Common Stock Price and the Conversion Rate then in effect per

U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Securities, the Company shall instruct the Trustee in writing to provide the Trading Price of the Securities beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Securities is greater than 98% of the product of (A) the Common Stock Price and (B) the then current Conversion Rate, and to notify the Company accordingly.

(6) A Holder may convert a portion of a Security equal to U.S.$1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security.

If a Security is called for redemption pursuant to Section 11.1, in order to convert such Security if such Security is then convertible pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Holder must deliver the Security to the Conversion Agent (or, if the Security is held in book-entry form, complete and deliver to the Depositary appropriate instructions in accordance with the Applicable Procedures) at any time prior to the close of business on the day that is two Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in paying the Redemption Price when due, in which case the conversion right shall terminate on the date such default is cured and such Security is redeemed). A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Repurchase Notice pursuant to Article XIII or a similar notice pursuant to Section 14.2 exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to repurchase such Security may be converted only if such Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Company Notice, as the case may be, is withdrawn by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date or the end of the period in which a Holder may convert its Securities as described in Section 12.1(1)(v) above, as the case may be, in accordance with Article XIII or Article XIV.

(7) A Holder of Securities is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such Holder has converted its Securities into Common Stock.

SECTION 12.2 CONVERSION PROCEDURE.

(1) To convert a Security, a Holder must (i) if the Security is in definitive form, complete and manually sign the irrevocable conversion notice on the back of the Security and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (ii) if the Security is in definitive form, surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (iii) if the Security is in definitive form, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Security Registrar or the Conversion Agent, (iv) pay any transfer or other tax, if required by Section 12.3 and (v) if the Security is held in book-entry form, complete and deliver to the Depositary appropriate instructions pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the later of the Conversion Date and the date that all calculations necessary to make such payment and delivery have been made, but in no event later than five Business Days after the later of those days, the Company shall deliver to the Holder through the Conversion Agent cash and shares of Common Stock in the amounts calculated in accordance with Section 12.14.

(2) The Person in whose name the Security is registered shall be deemed to be a stockholder of record on the Conversion Date; provided that no surrender of a Security on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective

to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; provided, further that such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date that such Security shall have been surrendered for conversion, as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion of a Security, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Security.

(3) No payment or adjustment will be made for accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on a converted Security or for dividends or distributions on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security. The Company shall not adjust the Conversion Price to account for the accrued but unpaid interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Securities are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the opening of business on the next Interest Payment Date, including the date of maturity, Holders of such Securities at the close of business on such Regular Record Date shall receive the accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) payable on such Securities on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. In such event, such Security, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by delivery of a check payable to the Conversion Agent in an amount equal to the accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) payable on such Interest Payment Date on the portion so converted. If such payment does not accompany such Security, the Security shall not be converted; provided that no such check shall be required (i) if such Security has been called for redemption, (ii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, (iii) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Security; or (iv) in respect of any conversions that occur (a) between the Record Date immediately preceding a Repurchase Date and the related Repurchase Date and (b) after the Record Date immediately preceding May 15, 2027. If the Company defaults in the payment of interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) payable on the Interest Payment Date, the Conversion Agent shall promptly repay such funds to the Holder.

(4) Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder, a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.

SECTION 12.3 TAXES ON CONVERSION.

If a Holder converts a Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon such conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued 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 shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations.

SECTION 12.4 COMPANY TO PROVIDE STOCK.

The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Securities hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Securities into shares of Common Stock. The certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Restricted Securities shall bear a legend substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.2 of the Form of Security.

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

The Company will comply with all Federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock 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 Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

SECTION 12.5 ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE.

The Conversion Price shall be adjusted (without duplication) from time to time by the Company as follows:

(1) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or other distribution in shares of Common Stock to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which it would have owned or been entitled to receive had such Security been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event. For the purposes of calculating the Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.5(1), Holders of a Security shall be treated as if they had the right to convert the Security solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12.5(1) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of subdivision, combination or reclassification.

(2) In case the Company shall issue to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock rights, warrants or options entitling such holders (for a period expiring not more than 60 days after the date of distribution) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the average Common Stock Price for the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the date the distribution of such rights, warrants or options was first publicly announced by the Company, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such issue by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date of public announcement, plus the number of shares which the aggregate subscription or purchase price for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered by the rights, warrants or options so issued (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities offered by such rights, warrants or options) would purchase at such average Common Stock Price, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date of public announcement plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered by such rights, warrants or options (or into which the convertible securities so offered by such rights, warrants or options are convertible), provided that no adjustment will be made if Holders of the Securities are entitled to participate in the distribution on substantially the same terms as holders of the Common Stock as if such Holders had converted their Securities solely into Common Stock immediately prior to such distribution at the then applicable Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights, warrants or options are exercisable not all rights, warrants or options shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been upon application of the foregoing adjustment substituting the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued) for the total number of shares of Common Stock offered (or convertible securities offered).

(3) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness, other securities or other assets, or rights (other than the rights distributed pursuant to the Rights Plan, if any, to the extent that such rights have been distributed to the holders of the Securities as described below), warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding (i) those rights, options and warrants referred to in Section 12.5(2); (ii) those dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations referred to in Section 12.5(1); and (iii) those dividends and distributions paid in cash referred to in Section 12.5(5)), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the Market Price on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution less the fair market value on such record date (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the Capital Stock or evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets so distributed or of such rights, warrants or options, in each case applicable to one share of Common Stock, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the Market Price on such record date,

such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date for such distribution; provided that if the numerator of the foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the cash and Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the distribution such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to the record date for such distribution; provided that no adjustment will be made if Holders of the Securities are entitled to participate in the distribution on substantially the same terms as holders of the Common Stock as if such Holders had converted their Securities solely into Common Stock immediately prior to such distribution at the then applicable Conversion Price;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the distribution by the Company to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock consists of Capital Stock of, or similar Equity Interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (unless such Capital Stock or similar Equity Interests are distributed to Holders in such distribution as if such holders had converted their Securities into Common Stock), the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the record date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the average Common Stock Price over the Spinoff Valuation Period; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the average Common Stock Price over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spinoff Valuation Period”) commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the date on which “ex-dividend trading” commences for such dividend or distribution on the New York Stock Exchange or such other national or regional exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted plus (y) the average fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors, which determination in good faith shall equal the average closing sale price where such closing sale price is available) over the Spinoff Valuation Period of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock,

such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Spinoff Valuation Period; provided that the Company may in lieu of the foregoing adjustment make adequate provision so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of the distribution such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security on the record date with respect to such distribution. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 12.5(3) is declared but not so paid or made, such adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be reversed. In any case in which this paragraph is applicable, Section 12.5(1), Section 12.5(2) and the first paragraph of this Section 12.5(3) shall not be applicable.

To the extent that the Company has a share rights plan (“Rights Plan”) in effect upon conversion of Securities, the Holders of the Securities will receive, in addition to the Principal Amount and the Net Shares, if any, the rights under the Rights Plan, unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of the conversion, and, as a result, upon conversion of the Securities, the Holder of the Securities would not be entitled to receive the rights, then in such case the Conversion Price will be adjusted as described in this Section 12.5(3).

(4) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer to holders of Common Stock where the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share exceeds the Common Stock Price on the last Trading Day prior to the Offer Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Offer Expiration Time by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the last time (the “Offer Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) multiplied by the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to holders of Common Stock based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Offer Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Offer Expiration Time and the Common Stock Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Offer Expiration Time. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.

(5) In case the Company shall declare a cash dividend or cash distribution during any of the Company’s quarterly fiscal periods to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock, in an aggregate amount that together with other cash dividends or distributions made during such quarterly fiscal period, exceeds the product of $0.30 (appropriately adjusted from time to time for any share dividends on or subdivisions of Common Stock) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date for such distribution, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the average of the Common Stock Price for the three consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or distribution (the “Pre-Dividend Sale Price”), minus the amount of the dividend or distribution to the extent payable in cash applicable to one share of Common Stock that exceeds $0.30 (appropriately adjusted from time to time for any share dividends on, or subdivisions of, the Company’s Common Stock), and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the Pre-Dividend Sale Price, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the numerator of the foregoing fraction is less than U.S.$1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the cash and Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Securities solely into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to the record date for such cash dividend or cash distribution. If such cash dividend or cash distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(6) [Reserved].

(7) In any case in which this Section 12.5 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date established for purposes of this Section 12.5, the Company may elect to defer (but only until three Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 12.9) issuing to the holder of any Security converted after such record date the cash, shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the cash, shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the cash and shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence of the right to receive such shares.

(8) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment decreasing the Conversion Price so that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities would be issued for less than the par value of such Common Stock, the Company will take all corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

(9) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Conversion Rate exceed 104.7120 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the events described in clauses (1) through (5) of this Section 12.5. Further, notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.5 to the contrary (subject only to the provisions of the second succeeding sentence), the Conversion Rate shall not exceed 79.2258 per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities, other than as a result of proportional adjustments in the manner set forth in clauses (1) through (3) above (the limitations on the Conversion Rate set forth in this sentence are herein referred to as the “Conversion Rate Cap”). The Company agrees not to take any action described in Sections 12.5(4) or 12.5(5) above if, as a result of such action, the Conversion Rate adjustment that would otherwise be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.5(4) or Section 12.5(5) would be limited by the Conversion Rate Cap, unless such action would not result in a violation of Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as such rule or successor to such rule may be then in effect and interpreted by the New York Stock Exchange (or any similar rule of any other stock exchange which is the primary exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed). If such action would not result in a violation of Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, or any successor rule or similar rule of any other stock exchange which is the primary exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed, then the Conversion Rate Cap shall not apply to such action taken by the Company.

SECTION 12.6 No Adjustment.

No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 12.6 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, the Company will make such carried forward adjustments within one year of the first such adjustment carried forward, if the Company has called the Securities for redemption, upon a Fundamental Change, upon the Maturity of the Securities or when a Holder converts its Securities. All calculations under this Article XII shall be made to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded up, or to the nearest one thousandth (0.001) of a share, with each one-half thousandth (0.0005) of a share being rounded up, as the case may be.

No adjustment need be made upon the issuance of Common Stock under any present or future employee benefits plan or program of the Company or in connection with an acquisition made by the Company.

No adjustment need be made upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to (i) the exercise of any options, warrants or rights to purchase such Common Stock, (ii) the exchange of any exchangeable securities for such Common Stock or (iii) the conversion of any convertible securities into such Common Stock, in each case so long as such option, warrant, right to purchase, exchangeable security or convertible security is outstanding at the Issue Date.

No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or a change to no par value of the Common Stock.

SECTION 12.7 Equivalent Adjustments.

If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 12.5 above, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of Capital Stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any Securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in this Article XII.

SECTION 12.8 Adjustment for Tax Purposes.

The Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by Section 12.5, as the Board of Directors in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivisions of shares, distributions of rights to purchase stock or other securities, or distributions of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its holders of Common Stock shall not be taxable, or to diminish such taxes, to such holders.

SECTION 12.9 Notice of Adjustment.

Whenever the Conversion Price (or Conversion Rate) is adjusted, or Holders become entitled to other securities or due bills, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, absent manifest error, and the Trustee may conclusively assume that, unless and until such certificate is received by it, no such adjustment is required.

SECTION 12.10 Notice of Certain Transactions.

In case:

(1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.5; or

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

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

(4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

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

SECTION 12.11 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, Share Exchange or Sale on Conversion Privilege.

If any of the following shall occur, namely: (i) any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination); (ii) any consolidation, combination, merger or share exchange to which the Company is a party other than a merger in which the Company is the resulting or surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in name, or par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, then the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale or conveyance, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right to convert such Security into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate of such Security immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale or conveyance. Such supplemental indenture shall (a) provide for adjustments of the Conversion Price which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the conversion privilege and Conversion Price provided for in this Article XII, (b) set forth appropriate modifications to the means of determining the Conversion Value and other settlement provisions specified in Section 12.14 so as to be, in the good faith determination of the Company’s Board of Directors, nearly equivalent to such provisions as may be practicable and (c) specify the Conversion Price immediately after such transactions. If, in the case of any such consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of Capital Stock or other securities and property of an entity other than the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other entity and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. The provision of this Section 12.11 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, share exchanges, sales or conveyances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a distribution by the Company to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price or provision for conversion of the Securities may be made pursuant to Section 12.5 shall not be deemed to be a sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company for purposes of this Section 12.11.

In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 12.11, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or other property receivable by Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale or conveyance, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with.

SECTION 12.12 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article XII should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be made, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.9. 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, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with any provisions of this Article XII. Each Conversion Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) shall have the same protection under this Section 12.12 as the Trustee.

The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 12.11 or whether such supplemental indenture should be executed, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be protected in conclusively relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.11.

SECTION 12.13 Voluntary Reduction.

The Company from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if such period is at least 20 Trading Days or such longer period as may be required by law and if the reduction is irrevocable during such period; if the Board of Directors determines, in good faith, that such decrease would be in the best interests of the Company; provided that in no event may the Conversion Price be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock. Any such determination by the Board of Directors shall be conclusive.

SECTION 12.14 Conversion Value of Securities Tendered.

(1) The Company will satisfy its obligation to convert a Holder’s Security pursuant to Section 12.1 with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered for conversion in cash and shares of fully paid Common Stock, if applicable, as follows:

(A) cash (the “Principal Return”) in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) $1,000 and (2) the Conversion Value; and (B) if the Conversion Value is greater than $1,000, a number of shares (the “Net Shares”) of Common Stock equal to the sum of the Daily Share Amounts for each of the twenty consecutive Trading Days in the Conversion Reference Period, appropriately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events occurring during the Conversion Reference Period.

(2) For the purposes of Section 12.14(1) in the event that any of Conversion Value, Daily Share Amounts, Volume Weighted Average Price or any other computation required of this Section 12.14 cannot be determined or do not produce results consistent with the provisions of this Article XII for all portions of the Conversion Reference Period, the Company’s Board of Directors shall in good faith determine the values necessary to calculate the Conversion Value, Daily Share Amounts and Volume Weighted Average Price, as applicable.

(3) The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. In lieu of any fractional shares, the Company will pay an amount in cash for the current market value of the fractional shares. The current market value of a fractional share shall be determined (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) by multiplying the arithmetic average of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock for each of the twenty consecutive Trading Days of the Conversion Reference Period by such fractional share and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.

(4) Except as provided in Section 12.2(3), delivery of the Conversion Value shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of a converted Security and accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) thereon. Any accrued interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) payable on a converted Security shall be deemed paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited. The Company will not adjust the Conversion Price to account for accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any).

(5) Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent has any duty to determine or calculate the Conversion Value, Daily Conversion Value, Daily Share Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion, if any, or any other computation required under this Article XII, all of which shall be determined by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee and Conversion Agent shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any such determinations and/or calculations and may conclusively rely on the correctness thereof.

SECTION 12.15 Simultaneous Adjustments.

In the event that this Article XII requires adjustments to the Conversion Price under more than one of Sections 12.5(1) and (3), and the record dates for the distributions giving rise to such adjustments shall occur on the same date, then such adjustments shall be made by applying, first, the provisions of Section 12.5(3), as applicable, and, second, the provisions of Section 12.5(1). If more than one event requiring adjustment pursuant to Section 12.5 shall occur before completing the determination of the Conversion Price for the first event requiring such adjustment, then the Board of Directors (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive) shall make such adjustments to the Conversion Price (and the calculation thereof) after giving effect to all such events as shall preserve for Holders the Conversion Price protection provided in Section 12.5.

ARTICLE XIII

REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT OPTION OF THE HOLDER ON SPECIFIED DATES

SECTION 13.1 Repurchase of Securities at Option of the Holder on Specified Dates.

(1) At the option of the Holder, the Company shall repurchase on May 15, 2012, May 15, 2017 and May 15, 2022 (each, a “Repurchase Date”) all or a portion of the Securities held by such Holder for cash at a price per Security equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Security (the “Repurchase Price”), together with accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) thereon, to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date.

Securities shall be repurchased pursuant to this Section 13.1 at the option of the Holder thereof upon:

(i) delivery to the Company and the Paying Agent by the Holder of a written notice (a “Repurchase Notice”) at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 30 Business Days prior to the Repurchase Date until the close of business on the Business Day prior to such Repurchase Date stating:

(i) if the Security which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased is a Security in definitive form, the certificate number of such Security, or if such Security is a Global Security, the notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures;

(ii) the portion of the principal amount of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, which portion must be in a principal amount of U.S.$1,000 or any integral multiple thereof; and

(iii) that such Security shall be repurchased as of the Repurchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in this Indenture; and

(ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of such Security to the Paying Agent prior to, on or after the Repurchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Repurchase Price therefor, together with accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any); provided that the Repurchase Price, together with accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) thereon, shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 13.1 only if the Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Repurchase Notice.

The Company shall repurchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 13.1, a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is U.S.$1,000 or an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a Security also apply to the repurchase of a portion of a Security.

Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.1 shall be consummated by the delivery to the Paying Agent of the Repurchase Price, together with accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) thereon, to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Repurchase Date and the time of delivery or book-entry transfer of the Security to the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 13.1.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 13.1(1) shall have the right to withdraw such Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent at the designated office of the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 13.2.

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

(2) Company Repurchase Notice. In connection with any repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 13.1, the Company shall give written notice of the Repurchase Date to the Holders (the “Company Repurchase Notice”). The Company Repurchase Notice shall be sent by first-class mail to the Trustee, to each Holder and, as required by applicable law, to beneficial owners of Securities not less than 30 Business Days prior to any Repurchase Date. Each Company Repurchase Notice shall include a form of Repurchase Notice to be completed by a Holder and shall state:

(i) the Repurchase Price, the Conversion Price and accrued, but unpaid interest, if any (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date;

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

(iii) that Securities as to which a Repurchase Notice has been given may be converted only if (x) the applicable Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and (y) the Securities may be converted pursuant to Article XII of the Indenture;

(iv) that Securities must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment of the Repurchase Price and accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any);

(v) that the Repurchase Price for any Securities as to which a Repurchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn, together with accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) payable with respect thereto, shall be paid promptly following the later of the Repurchase Date and the time of surrender of such Securities as described in clause (iv);

(vi) the procedures the Holder must follow under this Section 13.1;

(vii) the conversion rights of the Securities;

(viii) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Repurchase Price, interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) on Securities covered by any Repurchase Notice will cease to accrue on and after the Repurchase Date;

(ix) the CUSIP number of the Securities; and

(x) the procedures for withdrawing a Repurchase Notice (as specified in Section 13.2).

At the Company’s request, which shall be made at least three Business Days prior to the date by which the Company Repurchase Notice is to be given to the Holders in accordance with this Section 13.1, and at the Company’s expense, the Trustee shall give the Company Repurchase Notice in the Company’s name; provided that, in all cases, the text of the Company Repurchase Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

If any of the Securities is in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the Applicable Procedures that apply to the repurchase of Global Securities.

SECTION 13.2 Effect of Repurchase Notice.

Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of a Repurchase Notice, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such Repurchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Repurchase Price, together with accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) thereon, to but not including the Repurchase Date with respect to such Security. Such Repurchase Price, together with accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) thereon, to but not including the Repurchase Date shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the Repurchase Date with respect to such Security (provided that the conditions in Section 13.1 have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery or book-entry transfer of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 13.1. Securities in respect of which a Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article XII hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Repurchase Notice unless such Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs.

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

(i) if the Security with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted is a Security in definitive form, the certificate number of such Security, or if such Security is a Global Security, the notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures;

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

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

There shall be no repurchase of any Securities pursuant to Section 13.1 if an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Repurchase Price) has occurred prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving by the Holders of such Securities of the required Repurchase Notice and such Event of Default is continuing. The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities (x) with respect to which a Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Repurchase Price) in which case, upon such return, the Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

SECTION 13.3 Deposit of Repurchase Price.

Prior to 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the Repurchase Date the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary thereof or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the aggregate Repurchase Price together with accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) thereon, to but not including the Repurchase Date of all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be repurchased as of the Repurchase Date.

If the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price of all Securities on the Business Day immediately following such Repurchase Date in accordance with this Indenture, then on and after such Business Day, the Securities shall cease to be outstanding, whether or not the Securities are delivered to the Paying Agent, and all other rights of the Holder under this Indenture shall terminate, except the right to receive the Repurchase Price thereof upon delivery of the Securities.

SECTION 13.4 Securities Repurchased in Part.

Any Security in definitive form that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, one or more new Securities in definitive form, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security in definitive form so surrendered which is not repurchased.

SECTION 13.5 Covenant to Comply with Securities Laws upon Repurchase of Securities.

When complying with the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof (so long as such offer or repurchase constitutes an “issuer tender offer” for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer or repurchase), the Company shall (i) comply in all material respects with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, (ii) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act and (iii) otherwise comply in all material respects with all Federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 13.1 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 13.1.

If any of the provisions of this Article XIII are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.

SECTION 13.6 Repayment to the Company.

ARTICLE XIV

REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON A

FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE

SECTION 14.1 Right to Require Repurchase Upon a Fundamental Change.

In the event that a Fundamental Change (as hereinafter defined) shall occur, then each Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase, and upon the exercise of such right the Company shall repurchase, all of such Holder’s Securities not theretofore converted or called for redemption, or any portion of the aggregate principal amount thereof that is equal to U.S.$1,000 or any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof (provided that no single Security may be repurchased in part unless the portion of the aggregate principal amount of such Security to be Outstanding after such repurchase is equal to U.S.$1,000 or integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof), on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) that is 30 Business Days after the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (as defined in Section 14.2) at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) accrued but unpaid to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”); provided, however, that installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7. Such right to require the repurchase of the Securities shall not continue after a discharge of the Company from its obligations with respect to the Securities in accordance with Article IV, unless a Fundamental Change shall have occurred prior to such discharge. Whenever in this Indenture (including Sections 2.2, 3.1, 5.1(1) and 5.8) there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in any provision of this Indenture shall not be construed as excluding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in those provisions of this Indenture when such express mention is not made.

SECTION 14.2 Notices; Method of Exercising Repurchase Right, Etc.

(1) Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption all of the Outstanding Securities, on or before the 30th day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company or, at the request in a Company Order and expense of the Company on or before the 15th day after such occurrence, the Trustee, shall give to all Holders of Securities, in the manner provided in Section 1.6,

notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right set forth herein arising as a result thereof. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such Fundamental Change Company Notice to the Trustee. If such notice is to be given by the Trustee, the Company shall deliver, on or before the fifth day after such occurrence, a Company Order requesting the Trustee to give such notice and setting forth all the information to be included in such notice including the information set forth below.

Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall identify the Securities to be repurchased (including CUSIP numbers) and shall state:

(i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date,

(ii) the date by which the repurchase right must be exercised,

(iii) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price,

(iv) a description of the procedure that a Holder must follow to exercise a repurchase right, and the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and accrued interest, if any (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any), to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date,

(v) that on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, and accrued interest, if any (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any), to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date will become due and payable upon each such Security designated by the Holder to be repurchased, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,

(vi) the Conversion Rate then in effect, the date on which the right to convert the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased will terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion, and

(vii) the place or places that the Security certificate with the Election of Holder to Require Repurchase as specified in Section 2.2 shall be delivered.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any Holder’s right to exercise a repurchase right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Securities.

If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Article XIV are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.

(2) To exercise a repurchase right, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee on or before the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (i) written notice of the Holder’s exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the name of the Holder, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased (and, if any Security is to repurchased in part, the serial number thereof, the portion of the aggregate principal amount thereof to be repurchased and the name of the Person in

which the portion thereof to remain Outstanding after such repurchase is to be registered) and a statement that an election to exercise the repurchase right is being made thereby, and (ii) the Securities with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised. Such written notice shall be irrevocable, except that the right of the Holder to convert the Securities with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised shall continue until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

(3) In the event a repurchase right shall be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee before 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in cash, as provided above, for payment to the Holder on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, payable with respect to the Securities as to which the repurchase right has been exercised; provided, however, that installments of interest that mature on or prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date shall be payable in cash to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date.

(4) If any Security (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase shall not be so paid on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the aggregate principal amount of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be), shall, until paid, bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law from the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at the rate of 7.625% per annum, and each Security shall remain convertible into cash and Common Stock, if any, until the principal of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for.

(5) Any Security that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and upon its actual receipt by a Responsible Officer of a Company Order to such effect, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security pursuant to such Company Order without service charge, a new Security or Securities, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

(6) All Securities delivered for repurchase shall be delivered to the Trustee to be canceled at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 3.9.

(7) To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 14.2(3) exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to repurchase as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date together with accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest and Special Interest, if any) thereon, then, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Company, promptly after the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company.

(8) When complying with the provisions of Section 14.1 hereof (so long as such offer or repurchase constitutes an “issuer tender offer” for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer or repurchase), the Company shall (i) comply in all material respects with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, (ii) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act and (iii) otherwise comply in all material respects with all Federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 14.1 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 14.1.
