of such right the Company shall repurchase, all of such Holder's Securities, or
any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to U.S.$1,000 or any

the extent that such Put Right Price is, was or would be so payable at such
time; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any reference to
the principal of any Security that concerns the determination of the amount of
interest due or owing under such Security. If any of the foregoing provisions or
other provisions of this Article Two are inconsistent with applicable law,
including without limitation Rule 13e-4 or Regulation 14E promulgated under the
Exchange Act, such law shall govern.
SECTION 2.2. Notices; Method of Exercising Repurchase Right, Etc.
(1) On or before the Business Day that is 21 Business Days prior to the Put
Right Date, the Company or, at the request and expense of the Company on or
before the Business Day that is 21 Business Days prior to the Put Right Date,
the Trustee, shall give to all Holders of Securities, in the manner provided in
Section 1.6 of the Indenture, notice (the "Company Notice of Put Right") of the
repurchase right set forth herein. The Company shall also deliver a copy of the
Company Notice of Put Right to the Trustee. The Company Notice of Put Right
shall state:
(a) the Put Right Date,
(b) the Put Right Price,
-2-
(c) a description of the procedure which a Holder must follow to
exercise the repurchase right, and the place or places where such Securities,
are to be surrendered for payment of the Put Right Price and accrued interest,
if any,
(d) that on the Put Right Date the Put Right Price, and accrued
interest, if any, will become due and payable upon each such Security designated
by the Holder to be repurchased, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue
on and after said date,
(e) the Conversion Rate then in effect, the date on which the right to
convert the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased will terminate
and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion,
(f) the place or places that the Put Right Notice (as defined below)
shall be delivered, and the form of such Notice, and
(g) the CUSIP number or numbers of such Securities.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall
limit any Holder's right to exercise a repurchase right or affect the validity
of the proceedings for the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Article
Two.
(2) To exercise a repurchase right, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee
at any time until 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the Put Right Date, (i) written
notice of the Holder's exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the
name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased
(and, if any Security is to repurchased in part, the serial number thereof, the
portion of the principal amount thereof to be repurchased and the name of the
Person in which the portion thereof to remain Outstanding after such repurchase
is to be registered) and a statement that an election to exercise the repurchase
right is being made thereby (a "Put Right Notice"), and (ii) the Securities with
respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised. Notwithstanding the
delivery of a Put Right Notice by a Holder, such Holder's Securities shall
remain convertible into the Company's Common Stock until the principal of such
Securities (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly
provided for. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder
delivering to the Trustee a Put Right Notice shall have the right to withdraw
such notice at any time prior to 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the Put Right Date
by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee in accordance with
Section 2.4. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of its receipt of any
Put Right Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
SECTION 2.3. Payment of Put Right Price. In the event a repurchase right shall
be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall pay or cause
to be paid to the Trustee the Put Right Price in cash for payment to the Holder
on the Put Right Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Put
Right Date payable with respect to the Securities as to which the repurchase
right has been exercised; provided, however, that installments of interest that
mature on or prior to the Put Right Date shall be payable in cash to the Holders
of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at
the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date.
-3-
If any Security (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase shall not
be so paid on the Put Right Date, the principal amount of such Security (or
portion thereof, as the case may be) shall, until paid, bear interest to the
extent permitted by applicable law from the Put Right Date at the rate of 4.50%
per annum, and each Security shall remain convertible into the Company's Common
Stock until the principal of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may
be) shall have been paid or duly provided for.
Any Security which is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered
to the Trustee (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement
by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service
charge, a new Security or Securities, containing identical terms and conditions,
each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in
exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Security so
surrendered.
All Securities delivered for repurchase shall be delivered to the Trustee
to be canceled at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same
as provided in Section 3.9 of the Indenture.
SECTION 2.4. Withdrawal of Put Right Notice. A Put Right Notice may be
withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Trustee at
any time prior to 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the Put Right Date specifying:
(1) the certificate number of the Securities in respect of which such
notice of withdrawal is being submitted;
(2) the portion of the principal amount thereof of the Securities with
respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; and
(3) the portion of the principal amount thereof, if any, of such Securities
which remains subject to the original Put Right Notice and which has been or
will be delivered for purchase by the Company.
