set forth in any written order of the Company for the authentication and
8
delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Original Indenture. The principal amount of
Notes then outstanding shall be payable on the Maturity Date.
The form of Note (including the form of notice of conversion, the form of Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice and the form of assignment and transfer) shall be substantially as set forth in
Exhibit A hereto, which is incorporated into and shall be deemed a part of this Supplemental
Indenture, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are
required or permitted by the Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of
identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with
the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the
officers of the Company executing the Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes.
The Company shall make payments in respect of the principal and interest, including Additional
Interest, if any, on Global Notes to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in its
capacity as the registered Holder under the Indenture. In the case of certificated Notes, the
Company shall make payments in U.S. dollars at the office of the Paying Agent or, at the Company’s
option, by check mailed to the Holder’s registered address (or, if requested by a Holder of more
than $1 million of Notes, by wire transfer to the account designated by such Holder). The Company
shall make any required interest payments to the person in whose name each Note is registered at
the Close of Business on the record date for the interest payment. The Paying Agent shall be
designated as the Company’s paying agent for payments on the Notes. The Company may at any time
designate additional paying agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent or approve a
change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts. Subject to the requirements of any
applicable abandoned property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon
written request any money held by them for payments on the Notes that remain unclaimed for two
years after the date upon which that payment has become due. After payment to the Company, Holders
entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment. In that case, all liability of the
Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to that money shall cease.
Section 2.02 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.
The Notes shall initially be represented by one or more Global Notes. Each Global Note shall
be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and be registered in the name of a nominee of
the Depositary. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no
rights under this Supplemental Indenture or the Original Indenture with respect to any Global Note
held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note,
and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the
Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by
the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of any holder.
9
Section 2.03 CUSIP Numbers.
In issuing the Notes, the Company may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if
so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of
the Notes; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers as printed on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by
any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any
change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
Section 2.04 Reporting Requirement.
For so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall file with the Commission, within
the time periods prescribed by its rules and regulations, the Company’s annual and quarterly
reports, information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the
foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required
to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and will furnish
such annual and quarterly reports, information, documents and other reports (or copies of such
portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) to the
Trustee within 15 days of the date on which it would be required to file the same with the
Commission. The filing of any quarterly or annual report or other information, document or other
report that the Company files with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act on the Commission’s XXXXX system and the giving of notice to the Trustee as to the public
availability of such information from such source shall be deemed to constitute delivery of such
filing to the Trustee. In the event the Company is at any time no longer subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it shall continue to provide the Trustee
and the Holders with annual and quarterly reports containing substantially the same information as
would have been required to be filed with the Commission had the Company continued to have been
subject to such reporting requirements. In such event, such annual and quarterly reports shall be
provided at the times the Company would have been required to provide reports had it continued to
have been subject to such reporting requirements. The Company also shall comply with the other
provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. Delivery of such reports, information and
documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall
not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from
information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants
hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

Section 3.02 Repurchase of Notes at Option of the Holder Upon a Fundamental Change.
(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs, each Holder shall have the right, at the option of the
Holder, to cause the Company to purchase all or any portion (in minimum principal amounts specified
in Section 3.02(c)) of the principal amount of such Holder’s Notes, in cash, at a purchase price
(the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest), if any, to (but excluding) the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date., The Company shall repurchase all such Notes as of the date
that is no fewer than 20 Business Days and no more than 45 Business Days after the date of the
Fundamental Change Notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”), subject to satisfaction by or
on behalf of the Holder of the requirements set forth in Section 3.02(c).
At least three Business Days before the Fundamental Change Notice Date, the Company shall
deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee specifying:
(i) the information required by Section 3.02(b); and
(ii) whether the Company desires the Trustee to give the Fundamental Change Notice
required by Section 3.02(b).
(b) No later than 30 calendar days before the anticipated effective date of a Fundamental
Change, the Company shall mail a written notice of the Fundamental Change (the “Fundamental Change
Notice,” the date of such mailing, the “Fundamental Change Notice Date”) by first-class mail to the
Trustee and to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law). The notice
shall include a form of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to be completed by the Holder and
shall state:
(i) briefly, the nature of the Fundamental Change and the anticipated date of such
Fundamental Change;
(ii) the date by which the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice pursuant to Section
3.02(c) must be given;
(iii) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
(v) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;
(vi) the Conversion Rate applicable on such Conversion Date and any adjustments
thereto;
(vii) that the Notes as to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given
may be converted if they are otherwise convertible pursuant to
11
Article 4 hereof only if the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in
accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture;
(viii) that the Notes must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment;
(ix) that the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Note as to which a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been duly given and not withdrawn will be paid
promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of
surrender of such Note as described in clause (viii);
(x) briefly, the procedures the Holder must follow to exercise rights under this
Section 3.02;
(xi) briefly, the conversion rights, if any, of the Notes;
(xii) the procedures for withdrawing a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice;
(xiii) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price on the Notes surrendered for repurchase by the Company will cease to accrue
on and after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and
(xiv) the CUSIP and ISIN number(s) of the Notes.
Simultaneously with the provision of the Fundamental Change Notice, the Company shall publicly
announce, through a reputable national newswire service, and publish on its website, a notice
containing the information in above clauses (i) through (xiv). Within three Business Days
following the effective date of the Fundamental Change, the Company shall give written notice to
the Holders of the consummation of the Fundamental Change and shall publicly announce, through a
reputable national newswire service, and publish on its website, a notice of the consummation of
such Fundamental Change.
(c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in Section 3.02(a) upon delivery of a written
notice of repurchase (a “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) and any Notes to which the right is
being exercised to the Trustee (for Global Notes pursuant to the Applicable Procedures) at any time
on or prior to the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, stating:
(i) the portion of the principal amount of the Notes which the Holder will deliver to
be purchased, which portion must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof;
(ii) that such Notes shall be repurchased pursuant to the terms and conditions
specified in Paragraph 5 of the Notes; and
12
(iii) if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the Notes which
the Holder will deliver to be repurchased.
The delivery of such Note to the Trustee with the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
(together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Trustee shall be a condition to
the receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor; provided, however,
that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.02 only
if the Note so delivered to the Trustee, if any, shall conform in all material respects to the
description thereof set forth in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
The Company shall repurchase from a Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.02, a portion
of a Note specified by the Holder in its Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice if the principal
amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this
Supplemental Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a Note also apply to the repurchase
of such portion of such Note.
Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.02
shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
(d) The Company shall deposit cash, at the time and in the manner as provided in Section 3.04,
sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all Notes to be repurchased
pursuant to this Section 3.02.
Section 3.03 Effect of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
Upon receipt by the Trustee of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice specified in Section
3.02(c), the Holder of the Note in respect of which such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice was
given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in the
following paragraph) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price with respect to such Note. Such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be paid to such
Holder, subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (i) the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided that the conditions in
Section 3.02(c) have been satisfied) and (ii) the time of delivery of such Note to the Paying Agent
by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.02(c). Notes in respect of which a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted
pursuant to Article 4 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn
as specified in the following two paragraphs.
A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the Close of Business on the last day prior to the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:
13
(a) the principal amount of the Note with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being
submitted, in multiples of $1,000;
(b) if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the Note in respect of which
such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; and
(c) the principal amount, if any, of such Note which remains subject to the original
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
If the Notes are held in book entry form, the notices must also comply with the Applicable
Procedures.
Section 3.04 Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary
of the Company or an affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and
hold in trust as provided in Section 6.6 of the Original Indenture) an amount of cash (in
immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day), sufficient to pay the aggregate
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be
repurchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
Section 3.05 Notes Repurchased in Part.
Any Physical Note 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 deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge,
a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate
principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so
surrendered which is not repurchased, or in the case of a Global Note, the Company shall instruct
the Registrar to decrease such Global Note by the principal amount of the repurchased portion of
the Note surrendered.
Section 3.06 Covenant to Comply with Securities Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes.
When complying with the provisions of Section 3.02 hereof (provided that such offer or
repurchase constitutes an “issuer tender offer” for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used
herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer
or repurchase), the Company shall, to the extent applicable, (a) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule
14e-1 (or any successor provision) under the Exchange Act, (b) file the related Schedule TO (or any
successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act, and (c) otherwise comply with any
applicable federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under
Section 3.02 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 3.02.
14
Section 3.07 Repayment to the Company.
The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any cash that remains unclaimed
as provided in Paragraph 9 of the Notes, held by them for the payment of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited
by the Company pursuant to Section 3.04 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
of the Notes or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to repurchase as of the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date, then, 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.
ARTICLE 4. CONVERSION
Section 4.01 Conversion Privilege and Consideration.
(a) A Holder may convert its Note(s) at any time until the Close of Business on the second
Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The “Conversion Rate” shall be that
identified as such in Paragraph 6 of the Notes, subject to adjustment as herein set forth. A
Holder may, during any applicable time referred to herein, convert a portion of the principal
amount of a Note if the portion converted is in a $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple
of $1,000. Provisions of this Supplemental Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Note
also apply to conversion of a portion of a Note.
Except as specifically described in this Article 4, the Conversion Rate will not be subject to
adjustment in the case of the issuance of any shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or the right, option or warrant to purchase shares
of Common Stock, or such convertible or exchangeable securities.
(b) Subject to Section 4.01(a), upon conversion, a Holder will receive a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to (i)(A) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted, divided by
(B) $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the applicable Conversion Rate on such Conversion Date.
(c) The Company shall deliver such shares of Common Stock to the Holder on the third Trading
Day following the Conversion Date; provided, however, that for any conversion that occurs on or
after the Record Date for the payment of interest on the Notes on the Maturity Date, the Company
will deliver such shares on the Maturity Date.
Section 4.02 Conversion Procedure.
To convert a Note, a Holder must satisfy the requirements set forth in Paragraph 6 of the
Notes. The first Business Day on which the Holder satisfies all those requirements and delivers an
irrevocable conversion notice together with such Holder’s Notes for conversion is the conversion
date (the “Conversion Date”).
The Person in whose name the certificate is registered shall be treated as a shareholder of
record as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date. Upon conversion of a Note in its
entirety, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Note.
15
No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on, or other distributions with respect
to, any shares of Common Stock except as provided in this Article 4.
Upon conversion of a Note, that portion of accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional
Interest), if any, through the Conversion Date with respect to the converted Note shall not be
cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather, subject to the provisions in Paragraph 1 of the
Notes, shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery shares of Common
Stock (together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional shares) for the Note being
converted pursuant to the provisions hereof. The Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to
account for accrued interest, if any.
Holders of Notes on the Close of Business on a regular Record Date will receive payment of
interest on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such Notes at
any time after the Close of Business on such regular Record Date.
If the last day on which a Note may be converted is not a Business Day, the Note may be
surrendered on the next succeeding Business Day.
If the Holder converts more than one Note at the same time, the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion and the amount of any cash paid in lieu of fractional shares
shall be based on the total principal amount of the Notes converted. Upon surrender of a Note that
is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
the Holder, a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unconverted
portion of the Note surrendered, or in the case of a Global Note, the Company shall instruct the
Registrar to decrease such Global Note by the principal amount of the converted portion of the Note
surrendered.
Section 4.03 Fractional Shares.
The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of a Note.
Instead, the Company will pay cash in lieu of fractional shares by multiplying the Closing Sale
Price of a full share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date (or if the Conversion Date is not a
Trading Day, the next following Trading Day) by the fractional amount and rounding the product to
the nearest whole cent. Whether fractional shares are issuable upon a conversion will be determined
on the basis of the total number of Notes that the Holder is then converting into Common Stock and
the aggregate number of fractional shares, if any, of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
All calculations under this Article 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest
1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be.
Section 4.04 Taxes on Conversion.
If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay all documentary, stamp or
similar issue or transfer tax, if any, which may be imposed by the United States or any political
subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of shares,
if any, of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is
due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name.
The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares, if any, of
Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s
16
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 4.05 Company to Provide Stock.
The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Common Stock under this Article 4, and from time
to time as may be necessary, reserve out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of the Notes.
Any shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Notes shall be newly issued shares
or treasury shares, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable (except to
the extent provided by former Section 180.0622(b) of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law), and
shall be free from preemptive rights and shall be free of any lien or adverse claim. The Company
will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the offer
and delivery of Common Stock, if any, upon conversion of Notes, if any, and will list or cause to
have quoted such shares of Common Stock on each national securities exchange or in the
over-the-counter market or such other market on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or
quoted.
Section 4.06 Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock.
If, after the Issue Date of the Notes, the Company:
(a) pays a dividend or makes a distribution payable exclusively in shares of Common Stock on
all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock;
(b) subdivides the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares; or
(c) combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares;
then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where,
R’ | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of
Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on
the effective date of such subdivision or combination, as the
case may be; |
R | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open
of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of |
17
Business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination, as the case may be; |
||
OS’ | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such
dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of
Business on the effective date of such subdivision or
combination, as the case may be; and |
OS | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the
effective date of such subdivision or combination, as the case
may be. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the
Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date for such subdivision or
combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 4.06 is
declared but not so paid or made, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not split or
combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of
the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or split or
combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that
would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not
been declared or announced.
Section 4.07 Adjustment for Rights Issue.
If, after the Issue Date of the Notes, the Company pays a dividend or makes a distribution of
any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock entitling
them to purchase (for a period expiring within 60 days after the date of issuance) shares of Common
Stock at a price per share less (or securities convertible into Common Stock having a conversion
price per share of Common Stock less) than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common
Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, the Conversion Rate
shall be increased in accordance with the following formula:
where:
R’ | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of
Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution; |
R | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open
of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution; |
18
O | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Close
of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; |
N | = | the number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; |
P | = | the per-share offering price payable to exercise such rights,
options or warrants for the additional shares; and |
M | = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock
for the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period ending on,
and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the
Ex-Dividend Date with respect to the dividend or
distribution. |
Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights, options or warrants are
distributed and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend
Date for such dividend or distribution. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not
delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be
readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the
issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number
of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so
issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted promptly to be the Conversion Rate that would
then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution had not been fixed.
For purposes of this Section 4.07, in determining whether any rights, options or warrants
entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than the average of the
Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the applicable five (5) consecutive
Trading Day period, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for
such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such
consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
Section 4.08 Adjustment for Other Distributions.
If, after the Issue Date of the Notes, the Company pays a dividend or makes a distribution to
all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any of its debt, securities, assets or any
rights, warrants or options to purchase securities of the Company (including securities or cash,
but excluding (a) dividends or distributions (including subdivisions) referred to in Section 4.06
and dividends or distributions of rights, warrants or options referred to in Section 4.07, (b)
dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash (to which Section 4.09 shall apply) and (c)
any Spin-off to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 4.08 shall apply)
(“Distributed Property”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased in accordance with the following
formula:
19
where:
R’ | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of
Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution; |
R | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open
of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution; |
M | = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock
for the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period ending on,
and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the
Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and |
F | = | the fair market value, as determined by the Board of
Directors, of the portion of those assets, securities,
rights, warrants or options to be distributed in respect of
each share of Common Stock immediately prior to the Open of
Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the Open of Business on the
Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “F” as set
forth above is equal to or greater than “M” as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing
adjustment, adequate provisions shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive
on conversion in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes held by such Holder, in
addition to the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, the amount and kind
of Distributed Property such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or
distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall
again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines
“F” for purposes of this Section 4.08 by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for
any Notes, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in
computing the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five (5) consecutive Trading Day
period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for
such dividend or distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.08 where there has been a payment of
a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock in shares of capital stock of any class or series,
or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company,
where such capital stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or
quoted upon consummation of the Spin-off) on a national securities exchange or reasonably
comparable non-U.S. equivalent, which is referred to herein as a “Spin-off,” the Conversion Rate
will be increased based on the following formula:
20
where:
R’ | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of
Business on the effective date for the Spin-off; |
R | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open
of Business on the effective date for the Spin-off; |
F | = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the capital stock
or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the
Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock over
the first five (5) consecutive Trading Day period immediately
following, and including, the effective date for the Spin-off
(such period, the “Valuation Period”); and |
MP | = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock
over the Valuation Period. |
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph of this Section 4.08 will
be made immediately after the Open of Business on the day after the last day of the Valuation
Period, but will be given effect as of the Open of Business on the effective date for the Spin-off.
For purposes of determining the Conversion Rate in respect of any conversion during the five (5)
Trading Days commencing on the effective date for any Spin-off, references within the portion of
this Section 4.08 related to “Spin-offs” to five (5) consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed
replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the effective
date for such Spin-off to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date.
For purposes of this Section 4.08, in determining whether any rights, options or warrants
entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than the
average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the applicable five
(5) consecutive Trading Day period, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by
the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion
thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of
Directors.
If, prior to a Conversion Date, a record date for a Spin-off has been set but the relevant
dividend or distribution has not yet resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate and a
converting Holder is not entitled to participate in the dividend or distribution with respect to
the shares of Common Stock such Holder receives upon conversion (whether because such Holder was
not a holder of such shares of Common Stock on the effective date for such dividend or distribution
or otherwise), then as promptly as practicable following the Conversion Date, the Company will
deliver to such Holder a number of additional shares of Common Stock that reflects the increase to
the Conversion Rate that resulted from the Spin-off.
Section 4.09 Adjustment for Cash Distributions.
If, after the Issue Date of the Notes, the Company pays any dividends or distributions to all
or substantially all holders of its Common Stock in cash, the Conversion Rate shall be increased in
accordance with the following formula:
21
where:
R’ | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of
Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution; |
R | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open
of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution; |
SP | = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock
over the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period ending on,
and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the
Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and |
C | = | the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to
holders of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution. |
The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the
Ex-Dividend Date with respect to the dividend or distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” as set forth above is equal to or greater than “SP” as
set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each
Holder shall have the right to receive on the date on which the relevant cash dividend or
distribution is distributed to Holders of Common Stock, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes,
the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of shares equal
to the Conversion Rate on the record date for such distribution. If such dividend or distribution
is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that
would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
Section 4.10 Adjustment for Company Tender Offer.
If, after the Issue Date of the Notes, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company makes a
payment to holders of the Common Stock in respect of a tender or exchange offer, other than an
odd-lot offer, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for shares of Common Stock, to the extent
that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common
Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five (5)
consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day following the last
date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the
“Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased in accordance with the following
formula:
where:
22
R’ | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of
Business on the Trading Day following the Expiration Date; |
R | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open
of Business on the Trading Day following the Expiration Date; |
F | = | the fair market value, as determined by the Board of
Directors (or a committee thereof), of the aggregate
consideration payable in such tender or exchange offer (up to
any maximum amount specified in the terms of the tender or
exchange offer) for all shares of the Common Stock the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company purchases in such
tender or exchange offer, such fair market value to be
measured as of the expiration time of the tender or exchange
offer (the “Expiration Time”); |
OS | = | the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Expiration Time (prior to giving
effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); |
OS’ | = | the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately after the Expiration Time (after giving effect to
such tender offer or exchange offer); and |
SP | = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock
over the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period commencing
on, and including, the Trading Day following the Expiration
Date. |
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph of this Section 4.10 will
be made immediately after the Open of Business on the sixth (6th) Trading Day following the
Expiration Date but will be given effect at the Open of Business on the Trading Day following the
Expiration Date. For purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion
during the five (5) Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day following the Expiration Date,
references within this Section 4.10 to five (5) Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such
lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day following the
Expiration Time to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date.
Section 4.11 When Adjustment May be Deferred.
No adjustment in the Conversion Rate need be made unless the adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least 1% of the applicable Conversion Rate. Any adjustments that are
not made because the adjustment does not change the applicable Conversion Rate by 1% or more (after
giving effect to an adjustment not previously made but carried forward pursuant to this sentence)
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all such carried forward adjustments shall be made with respect to the affected Notes on
any Conversion Date with respect to the Notes.
Section 4.12 When No Adjustment Required.
No adjustment need be made as a result of:
(a) the issuance of the rights pursuant to a stockholders rights plan of the Company that
provides that each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes at
23
any time prior to the distribution of separate certificates representing rights will be
entitled to receive the right (a “Stockholder Rights Plan”);
(b) the distribution of separate certificates representing the rights under the Stockholder
Rights Plan;
(c) the exercise or redemption of the rights in accordance with the Stockholder Rights Plan;
(d) the termination or invalidation of the rights under the Stockholder Rights Plan;
(e) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan
providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and
the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Stock under any plan;
(f) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those
shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program
of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(g) ordinary course of business stock repurchases, including structured or derivative
transactions, pursuant to a stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors (but, for
the avoidance of doubt, excluding transactions described in Section 4.10);
(h) any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest); or
(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or
exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the Issue Date.
If any event described in Section 4.12(a) through (d) occurs, Holders will receive the rights
upon conversion, unless, prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from the Common Stock.
If the rights have separated, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as
provided by Section 4.08 (subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or
redemption of such rights).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment need be made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to
Section 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09 or 4.10 if Holders participate (as a result of holding Notes, and at
the same time as Common Stock holders participate), subject to notice of such participation to
Holders, in the transaction that would otherwise trigger the applicable adjustment, as if such
Holders held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the then applicable Conversion Rate,
multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holders, without
having to convert. No adjustment need be made if the Common Stock to be issued upon conversion
will actually receive the consideration provided in, or be subject to, the transaction that would
otherwise trigger the adjustment.
No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the shares of
Common Stock.
24
Section 4.13 Notice of Adjustment.
Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly or within three Business
Days mail to Holders a notice of the adjustment. The Company shall file with the Trustee and the
Conversion Agent such notice briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of
computing it. The notice of adjustment shall be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is
correct. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility
with respect to any such notice of adjustment except to exhibit the same to any Holder desiring
inspection thereof.
Section 4.14 Voluntary Increase.
From time to time, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate by
any amount at any time for at least 20 Business Days, if the Board of Directors determines that
such increase would be in the Company’s best interest, so long as the increase is irrevocable
during such period. In addition, the Company may also (but is not required to) increase the
Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to
purchase Common Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to
acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased, the Company shall
mail to Holders and file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a notice of the increase. The
Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the increased Conversion Rate takes
effect. The notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period it will be in effect.
A voluntary increase of the Conversion Rate does not change or adjust the Conversion Rate otherwise
in effect for purposes of Section 4.06, 4.07, 4.08 or 4.09.
Section 4.15 Notice of Certain Transactions. If:
(a) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate
pursuant to Section 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09 or 4.10 (unless no adjustment is to occur pursuant to
Section 4.12); or
(b) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant to
Section 4.16; or
(c) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company,
then the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a notice
stating the proposed record date for a dividend, distribution or subdivision or the proposed
effective date of a combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange,
transfer, liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall file and mail the notice at least 15
Scheduled Trading Days before such date. Failure to file or mail the notice or any defect in it
shall not affect the validity of the transaction.
25
Section 4.16 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
Upon the occurrence of (i) any reclassification of the 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 split, subdivision or combination covered by Section 4.06), (ii) any
transaction involving the Company subject to Section 6.01 (other than a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company in a transaction in which the holders of Common
Stock immediately prior to such transaction do not receive securities, cash or other assets of the
Company or any other Person), (iii) a binding share exchange which reclassifies or changes the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iv) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of
the property and assets of the Company to any other Person, in each case as a result of which the
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or assets
with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then:
(a) the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with
the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force
at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then
required to so comply) and which shall provide that Holders shall be entitled thereafter to convert
each $1,000 principal amount of their Notes into the type and amount of shares of stock, other
securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of
a number of shares of our Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such
Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”) upon such
Merger Event.
(b) In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section
4.16, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly describing
the Merger Event and stating the type or amount of cash, securities, property or other assets that
will comprise the Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with
respect thereto and that all conditions precedent to such Merger Event under the Indenture have
been complied with. Promptly, following the effective time of any such Merger Event, the Company
shall issue a press release describing the type or amount of cash, securities, property or other
assets that will comprise the Reference Property after any such Merger Event (and shall make the
press release available on its website). Any failure to deliver such Officer’s Certificate or
issue such press release shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
(c) With respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes surrendered for conversion after the
effective date of any such Merger Event in lieu of shares of Common Stock otherwise provided for
hereunder, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder a number of units of Reference
Property (each such unit comprising the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities or other
property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of one share of Common
Stock immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive based on
the Weighted Average Consideration) equal to (1) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be
converted, divided by $1,000, multiplied by (2) the then-applicable Conversion Rate.
26
(1) The Company will deliver the cash in lieu of fractional units of Reference Property
as set forth pursuant to Section 4.03 (provided that the amount of such cash shall be
determined as if references in such Section to “the Closing Sale Price of a full share of
Common Stock” were instead a reference to “the fair market value of a unit of Reference
Property” composed of the type and amount of shares of stock, securities or other property
or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of one share of Common
Stock immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive
based on the Weighted Average Consideration).
(2) For purposes of this Section 4.16, the “Weighted Average Consideration” means the
weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the
Common Stock entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or assets with respect
to or in exchange for such Common Stock in any Merger Event who affirmatively make such an
election.
(3) The Company shall notify the Holders and the Trustee of the Weighted Average
Consideration as soon as practicable after the Weighted Average Consideration is determined.
(d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
In the event that Notes become convertible into Reference Property pursuant to this Section 4.16,
the Company shall notify the Trustee and issue a press release containing the relevant information
and make such press release available on the Company’s website.
Section 4.17 Company Determination Final.
Any determination and/or calculation that the Company or the Board of Directors must make
pursuant to Sections 4.03, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.16 or 7.03 is conclusive,
absent manifest error.
Section 4.18 Trustee’s Adjustment Disclaimer.
The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 4 should be made,
how it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee shall not be accountable for and makes no
representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of
Notes. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this Article
4. Each Conversion Agent shall have the same protection under this Section 4.18 as the Trustee.
Section 4.19 Simultaneous Adjustments.
In the event that this Article 4 requires adjustments to the Conversion Rate under more than
one of Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.08 or 4.09, and the Ex-Dividend Dates (or, in the case of a Spin-off,
the effective date of such a Spin-off) 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 4.06, second, the provisions of Section 4.08, third, the provisions of Section 4.09 and,
fourth, the provisions of Section 4.07.
27
Section 4.20 Successive Adjustments.
After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Article 4, any subsequent event
requiring an adjustment under this Article 4 shall cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate as so
adjusted.
Section 4.21 Limitation on Adjustments.
The Company shall not take any action that would result in an adjustment pursuant to the
foregoing provisions in this Article 4 if that adjustment would result in the amount obtained by
dividing $1,000 by the Conversion Rate being less than the then par value of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. In no event will the Conversion Rate be decreased
other than as a result of a transaction described in Section 4.06(b).
Section 4.22 Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon Certain Transactions.
(a) If a Make-Whole Adjustment Event occurs, the Effective Date of which is on or prior to the
Maturity Date, and a Holder elects to convert Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Adjustment
Event, the Company shall increase the applicable Conversion Rate for the Notes surrendered for
conversion by a number of additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”)
determined as set forth in Section 4.22(d). A conversion of Notes shall be deemed to be “in
connection with” a Make-Whole Adjustment Event if the notice of conversion of the Notes is received
by the Conversion Agent from and including the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Adjustment Event
transaction up to and including the date that is 35 days after such date.
(b) The number of Additional Shares will be determined by reference to the table in Section
4.22(d) and is based on the date on which the Make-Whole Adjustment Event becomes effective (the
“Effective Date”) and the price paid per share of the Company’s Common Stock in the Make-Whole
Adjustment Event transaction (the “Share Price”). If the Make-Whole Adjustment Event is an Asset
Sale Make-Whole Adjustment Event and the consideration paid for such property and assets consists
solely of cash, then the Share Price shall be the cash amount paid for such property and assets,
expressed as an amount per share of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding on the Effective Date.
If the Make-Whole Adjustment Event is a Common Stock Change Make-Whole Adjustment Event and holders
of the Company’s Common Stock receive only cash in the Make-Whole Adjustment Event transaction, the
Share Price will equal the cash amount paid per share. In all other cases, the Share Price will
equal the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five (5) Trading Day
period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date.
(c) The Company shall mail Holders and the Trustee, not later than 30 days prior to the
anticipated Effective Date, a notice describing the Make-Whole Adjustment Event and the Holders’
rights to Additional Shares. The Company shall also issue a press release through a reputable
national newswire service and make the press release available on its website as soon as
practicable after it first determines the anticipated Effective Date. Within three Business Days
following the Effective Date, the Company shall give written notice to the Holders of the
consummation of the Make-Whole Adjustment Event and shall publicly
28
announce, through a reputable national newswire service, and publish on its website, a notice
of the consummation of such Make-Whole Adjustment Event.
(d) The table below sets forth the Share Price paid per share for Common Stock in the
Make-Whole Adjustment Event and the number of Additional Shares per $1,000 principal amount of the
Notes by which the Conversion Rate will be increased. The Share Prices set forth in the Share
Price column of the table will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted.
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 applicable Conversion Rate
immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Share Price adjustment and the denominator
of which is the applicable Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares will be
adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Article 4.

If the exact Share Prices and Effective Dates are not set forth in the table, then: (i) if the
Share Price is between two Share Price amounts in the table or the Effective Date is between two
dates in the table, the Additional Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes will be determined by
a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and
lower Share Price amounts and the two Effective Dates in the table, based on a 365-day year; (ii)
if the Share Price exceeds $75.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no
Additional Shares will be issued upon conversion of the Notes; and (iii) if the Share Price is less
than $10.75 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no Additional Shares will be
issued upon conversion of the Notes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion exceed 93.0233 shares for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject
to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Article 4.
(e) The Company will settle conversions of Notes converted in connection with a Make-Whole
Adjustment Event as provided in Section 4.01; provided, however that in connection with a
Make-Whole Adjustment Event in which holders of Common Stock receive
29
only cash consideration for their shares of Common Stock (in a single per-share amount, other
than with respect to appraisal and similar rights), the Company shall settle conversions by
delivering, on the tenth Business Day after the Conversion Date, for each $1,000 principal amount
of Notes, an amount of cash equal to (i) the applicable Conversion Rate on the Conversion Date,
increased by Additional Shares, if any, calculated as set forth in this Section 4.23, multiplied by
(ii) the per-share amount of cash consideration paid in such Make-Whole Adjustment Event.
ARTICLE 5. INAPPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE ORIGINAL INDENTURE
Section 5.01 Limitations on Liens on Stock of Designated Subsidiaries. The provisions of
Section 10.5 of the Original Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.
Section 5.02 Limitations on Sales of Capital Stock of Designated Subsidiaries. The provisions
of Section 10.6 of the Original Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.
ARTICLE 6. SUCCESSOR CORPORATION
Section 6.01 When Company May Merge or Transfer Assets.
The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or sell, convey, lease
or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person in any one transaction or
series of related transactions, or permit any Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company,
unless:
(a) either (i) the Company shall be the surviving Person, or (ii) the surviving Person formed
by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person to which the Company’s
assets are so transferred shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of
the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; provided, however,
that the surviving Person shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and
delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of
the Company under the Notes and the Indenture;
(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default, and
no event that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have
occurred and be continuing; and
(c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease and, if a supplemental indenture is
required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, comply with this Article
5 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been
satisfied.
The successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the
successor Person to which such conveyance, transfer, sale or lease is made shall succeed to, and be
substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture with
the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company herein; and thereafter, the
Company shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under
30
the Indenture and the Notes. Subject to Section 9.3 of the Original Indenture, the Company,
the Trustee and the successor Person shall enter into a supplemental indenture to evidence the
succession and substitution of such successor Person and such discharge and release of the Company.
ARTICLE 7. REMEDIES
Section 7.01 Events of Default.
With respect to the Notes each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default”:
(a) the Company defaults in any payment of interest (including Additional Interest) due and
payable on the Notes, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;
(b) the Company defaults in the payment of all or any part of the principal on the Notes and
accrued and unpaid interest when the same becomes due and payable at the Maturity Date or upon
required repurchase following a Fundamental Change;
(c) the Company fails to provide a Fundamental Change Notice or a notice of a Make-Whole
Adjustment Event as provided herein;
(d) failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Article 6;

(f) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries defaults under any agreement, indenture or
instrument under which there is outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any
Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries having a principal amount
in excess of $40,000,000 in the aggregate, whether such Indebtedness exists before the Company’s
entrance into this Indenture or is created after such date, if the default (i) results in such
Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to its express maturity date or (ii)
is caused by a failure to pay at least $40,000,000 of such Indebtedness when due and payable (after
the expiration of any applicable grace period) at its stated maturity, upon any required
repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise; provided that any such Event of Default shall be deemed
cured and not continuing upon payment of such indebtedness or rescission of such declaration;
(g) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has rendered against it a final judgment for the
payment of $40,000,000 or more (excluding any amounts covered by insurance), which judgment is not
discharged or stayed within 60 days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has
expired if no such appeal has commenced, or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been
extinguished;
(h) the Company defaults in its performance of any covenant or agreement in respect of the
Notes or this Indenture for 60 days after receipt by the Company of a notice of
31
Default from the Trustee or after receipt by the Company and the Trustee of a notice of
Default from the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding;
(i) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Company or a
Significant Subsidiary of the Company with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its
property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a
period of 60 days; or an order for relief shall be entered against the Company or a Significant
Subsidiary of the Company under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect; and
(j) the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company (i) commences a voluntary case
under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or
consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, (ii)
consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company
or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company or a Significant
Subsidiary of the Company or (iii) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors.
The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of
Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant
to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body.
A Default under clause (h) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding notify the Company (and in
the case of such notice by Holders, the Trustee) of the Default and the Company does not cure such
Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the
Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”
Section 7.02 Compliance Certificate; Trustee Notices
(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year
(beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010) of the Company an Officer’s Certificate,
stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof, the Company is in default in
the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture
(without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and if the
Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge.
(b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof,
written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any Default and any event of which it
becomes aware that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would
32
become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to
take with respect thereto.
Section 7.03 Additional Interest.
Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary (including Section
2.04 hereof), at the election of the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default specified in
Section 7.01(h) relating to the failure by the Company to comply with Section 2.04 hereof and for
any failure by the Company to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust
Indenture Act, shall for the first 364 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default
consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes at a rate equal to
0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the notes outstanding (“Additional Interest”) for each
day during the 180-day period beginning on, and including, the occurrence of such an Event of
Default during which such Event of Default is continuing, which such Additional Interest rate will
be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum on the 181st day after such Event of Default (if such
Event of Default relating to such obligations is not cured or waived prior to such 180th day
pursuant to Section 7.06); provided that the rate at which such Additional Interest accrues may in
no event exceed 0.50% per annum. At the election of the Company, such Additional Interest will be
payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes. On
the 365th day after such Event of Default (if such Event of Default relating to such obligations is
not cured or waived prior to such 365th day pursuant to Section 7.06), such Additional Interest
will cease to accrue and the notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.04.
This provision shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other
Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Additional Interest following
an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 7.03, the Notes will be subject to acceleration
as provided in Section 7.04. In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy
during the first 364 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(h)
relating to the failure by the Company to comply with Section 2.04 hereof and for any failure by
the Company to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act in
accordance with this Section 7.03, the Company must notify all Holders and the Trustee and Paying
Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 364-day period. Upon the Company’s failure
to timely give such notice, the Notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in
Section 7.04.
Section 7.04 Acceleration.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 7.01(i) or (j))
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
declare the principal amount of Notes outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest (including
Additional Interest), if any, on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a
declaration, such accelerated amount shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default
specified in Sections 7.01(i) or (j) occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of Notes
outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on all the
Notes shall, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or any Holder, become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
33
the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes at the time outstanding by notice to the Trustee and the Company and without notice to any
other Holder may rescind any declaration of acceleration if the rescission is before any judgment
or decree has been obtained and if all existing Events of Default have been cured except nonpayment
of the principal amount or accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest), if any,
that have become due solely as a result of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any
subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 7.05 Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy
to collect the payment of principal, accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest),
if any, and any payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or premium on the Notes or to
enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not
produce any of the Notes in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in
exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of
any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.
Section 7.06 Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding
by notice to the Trustee and without notice to any other Holder may waive an existing default and
its consequences except (a) an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(a), (b) a default in
respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder
or (c) a default which constitutes a failure to convert any Note in accordance with the terms of
Article 4. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any consequent right.
ARTICLE 8. DISCHARGE OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
Section 8.01 Discharge of Liability on Notes.
When (a) the Company delivers to the Registrar all outstanding Notes (other than Notes
replaced pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Original Indenture) for cancellation or (b) all outstanding
Notes have become due and payable, and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee or
delivers to the Holders, as applicable, cash and shares of Common Stock (solely to satisfy
outstanding conversions, if applicable) sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all
outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Original Indenture),
and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this
Supplemental Indenture shall cease to be of further effect. The Trustee shall acknowledge
satisfaction and discharge of this Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes on demand of
the Company accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and
expense of the Company.
34
Section 8.02 Repayment to the Company.
The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any
excess money or securities held by them at any time. Subject to any applicable abandoned property
law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them
for payments on the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years after the date on which such
payments became due, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for
payment as general creditors and all liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such
money will cease.
ARTICLE 9. AMENDMENTS
Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders.
In addition to any permitted amendment or supplement to the Indenture pursuant to Section 9.1
of the Original Indenture, the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent may amend or supplement
the Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder so long as such changes, other than
those in clause (b), do not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holders:
(a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;
(b) to comply with Article 6;
(c) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;
(d) to provide any security for or guarantee of the Notes;
(e) to comply with any requirement to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture
under the Trust Indenture Act;
(f) to add to the Company’s covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right
or power conferred upon the Company by the Indenture;
(g) to add Events of Default with respect to the Notes;
(h) to add circumstances under which the Company will pay additional interest on the Notes;
(i) to make any change that does not adversely affect any outstanding Notes in any material
respect; and
(j) to conform the Notes and the Indenture with the descriptions set forth in the “Description
of Notes” section of the Prospectus Supplement, dated April 21, 2010, to the Prospectus, dated
April 20, 2010, with respect to the Notes.
35
After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to
Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all such
Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this
Section.
Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders.
Subject to Section 9.2 of the Original Indenture and to the second sentence of this Section
9.02, with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes at the time outstanding, the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent may amend or
supplement the Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an
amendment to the Indenture or the Notes may not:
(a) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or
waiver;
(b) reduce the interest rate of the Notes or change the time for payment of interest
(including any Additional Interest) thereon;
(c) reduce the principal amount of or change the Maturity Date of any Note;
(d) reduce the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any Note or change the time at which the
Notes may or must be redeemed or repurchased;
(e) make any payments on the Notes payable in currency other than as stated in the Notes;
(f) impair a Holder’s right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on the Notes;
(g) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Notes necessary to waive
compliance with the provisions of Section 7.06 or this Section 9.02;
(h) waive a continuing default or Event of Default regarding any payment on the Notes; or
(i) make any change that adversely affects a Holder’s rights under Sections 3.02 to 3.04,
under Article 4 or under Paragraph 5 or 6 of the Notes.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves
the substance thereof.
After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to each
Holder a notice briefly describing the amendment. The failure to give such notice to all such
Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this
Section.
36

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017
1. Interest.
This Note shall bear cash interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Interest on this Note shall
accrue from April 26, 2010 (the “Issue Date”) or from the most recent date to which interest has
been paid or provided for. Interest shall be payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November
1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2010, to the holder of record of Notes at the Close of
Business on the April 15 and October 15 immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (or
repurchase, redemption or Maturity Date, as applicable). Each payment of cash interest on this
Note shall include interest accrued for the period commencing on and including the immediately
preceding Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Issue Date) through the day before the applicable
Interest Payment Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Maturity Date, as applicable. Any
payment required to be made on any day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day and no interest or other amount will be paid as a result of any such
postponement. Interest shall be calculated using a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.
Interest shall cease to accrue on this Note upon its Maturity Date, conversion or repurchase by the
Company, including a repurchase at the option of the Holder upon a Fundamental Change in accordance
with Paragraph 5 hereof.
Interest on Notes converted after a Record Date, but prior to the corresponding Interest
Payment Date, will be paid to the Holder of the Notes on the Record Date, but upon such conversion,
the Holder must pay the Company the interest which has accrued and will be paid by the Company on
such Interest Payment Date. No such payment need be made (1) if the Company has specified a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest
Payment Date; (2) to the extent of overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of
conversion with respect to such Notes; or (3) if such Notes are surrendered for conversion after
the Close of Business on the Record Date for the payment of interest on the Notes at the Maturity
Date.
2. Method of Payment.
The Company shall promptly make all payments in respect of the Notes on the dates and in the
manner provided herein and in the Indenture. The Company will pay interest (except Defaulted
Interest) on the principal amount of the Notes on each May 1 and November 1 to the Persons who are
registered Holders of Notes at the Close of Business on the April 15 and October 15 next preceding
the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled or repurchased after such Record Date and on
or before the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments. The Company will pay principal, accrued and unpaid interest (including
Additional Interest), if any, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or premium in money of
the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts. The Company will make all payments in respect of a Global Note registered in the name of
the Depositary or its nominee to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account
A-3
specified by such Holder. The Company will make all payments in respect of a Physical Note
(including principal and interest) in U.S. dollars at the office of the Paying Agent. At the
Company’s option, the Company may make such payments by mailing a check to the registered address
of each Holder thereof as such address shall appear on the register or, if requested by a Holder of
more than $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account specified by such Holder. If an Interest Payment Date is a date
other than a Business Day, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a
Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
3. Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar.
Initially, U.S. Bank National Association will act as Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent
and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar
without notice, other than notice to the Trustee; provided that the Company will maintain at least
one Paying Agent in the United States of America, which shall initially be an office or agency of
the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their affiliates may act as Paying
Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar.
4. Indenture.
The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of October 15, 2000 (the “Original
Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor to Bank One Trust
Company, National Association), as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April
26, 2010 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and the Original Indenture, as supplemented by the
Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
in effect from time to time (the “TIA”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have
the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms.
The Notes are general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company limited to an
aggregate principal amount of not more than $345,000,000. The Indenture does not limit other
indebtedness of the Company, secured or unsecured.
5. Purchase By the Company at the Option of the Holder upon a Fundamental Change.
(a) At the option of the Holder, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, if
a Fundamental Change occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right, at its option, to require
the Company to repurchase for cash all of its Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof
that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, at a Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest
(including Additional Interest), if any, to (but excluding) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
To exercise the repurchase right, the Holder must deliver, on or before the Close of Business on
the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, written
notice to the Trustee
A-4
of such Holder’s exercise of its repurchase right, together with the Notes with respect to which
the right is being exercised. Subject to such Holder’s satisfaction of certain requirements in the
Indenture, the Company is required to repurchase the Notes on the date that is no fewer than 20
Business Days and no more than 45 Business Days after the date of the Fundamental Change Notice
delivered by the Company.
(b) Holders have the right to withdraw any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice delivered
pursuant to Paragraph 5(a) above by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal
in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture at any time prior to the Close of Business on
the last day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. If cash sufficient to pay the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all Notes or portions thereof to be repurchased as of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is deposited with the Paying Agent on the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or portions thereof) immediately
after such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, and the Holder thereof shall have no other rights as
such other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon surrender of such
Note.
6. Conversion.
(a) Holders may surrender Notes, in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, for
conversion into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second
Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
(b) The initial Conversion Rate is 74.4186 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount
of Notes, subject to adjustment in certain events described in the Indenture. Upon conversion, a
Holder will receive, on the third Trading Day following the Conversion Date, a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to (i) (A) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted, divided by
(B) $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the applicable Conversion Rate in effect on the relevant Conversion
Date; provided, however, that for any conversion that occurs on or after the record date for the
payment of interest on the Notes at maturity, the Company will deliver such shares on the Maturity
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not deliver any fractional shares upon
conversion; instead, Holders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the Closing
Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date (or, if the Conversion Date is not a Trading
Day, the next following Trading Day).
(c) To surrender a Note for conversion, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the
irrevocable conversion notice below (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and
deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent; (2) surrender the Note to the Conversion Agent; (3)
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and (4) pay any transfer or similar tax,
if required.
(d) A Holder may convert a portion of a Note if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000. No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on the
shares of Common Stock, except as provided in the Indenture. Except as provided in Paragraph 1
hereof, on conversion of a Note, the Holder will not receive any cash payment representing accrued
and unpaid interest with respect to the converted Notes. Instead,
A-5
upon conversion the Company will deliver to the Holder shares of Common Stock and any cash payment
to account for fractional shares. Accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed paid in full rather
than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. The Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to
account for accrued and unpaid interest.
7. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.
The Notes are in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 of
principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in
accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Notes in respect of
which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn (except, in the case
of a Note to be repurchased in part, the portion of the Note not to be repurchased).
8. Persons Deemed Owners.
The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of this Note for all purposes.
9. Unclaimed Money or Securities.
The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written request any money or
securities held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Notes that remains
unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After return to the
Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company for payment as
general creditors, unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.
10. Trustee Dealings with the Company.
Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal
with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its affiliates and may otherwise deal
with the Company or its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
11. Calculations in Respect of Notes.
The Company will be responsible for making all calculations called for under the Notes. These
calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the market prices of the Notes and
the Common Stock, any accrued interest payable on the Notes and the Conversion Rate of the Notes.
The Company will make these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, the calculations
will be final and binding on Holders of the Notes. The Company will provide to the Trustee a
schedule of its calculations, and the Trustee is entitled to rely upon the accuracy of such
calculations without independent verification. The Trustee will forward the Company’s calculations
to any Holder of the Notes upon the request of such Holder.
A-6
12. No Recourse Against Others.
A director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim
based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note,
each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Notes.
13. Authentication.
This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.
14. Abbreviations.
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM
(=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with right of
survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors
Act).
15. GOVERNING LAW.
THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO
THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
16. Additional Interest.
Holders of Notes shall be entitled to payments of Additional Interest, if any, to the extent
set forth in the Indenture.
The Company will furnish to any Holder, upon written request and without charge, a copy of the
Indenture which has in it the text of this Note in larger type. Requests may be made to:
