2
(b) unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any order, certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication from the Company or the Trustee made or given under any provision of this Agreement shall be sufficient if signed by any person who the Calculation Agent reasonably believes to be a duly authorized officer or attorney-in-fact of the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be;

3
become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor Calculation Agent shall be entitled to receive, all moneys, securities and other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor, as Calculation Agent hereunder.

ANNEX A
1. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the relevant Notes or, if not defined in the relevant Notes, as defined in the Indenture.
2. Determination of the Payment Amount, Alternative Redemption Amount and Settlement Value.
The Calculation Agent shall determine the applicable Payment Amount in accordance with the terms of the relevant Notes and this Agreement. In connection therewith, the Calculation Agent shall also calculate the related Alternative Redemption Amount and Settlement Value, all in accordance with the terms of the relevant Notes and this Agreement.
3. Stock Settlement.
If the relevant Notes may be settled on the Stated Maturity Date or on the Optional Repurchase Date and if Stock Settlement is applicable, the Calculation Agent will determine the number and kind of Settlement Value Securities to be delivered, and whether cash or other property shall be delivered in lieu of, or in addition to, any Settlement Value Securities, all in accordance with Section 4 hereof and the terms of the relevant Notes.
4. Adjustments to the Multipliers and the Settlement Value Securities.
Adjustments to a Multiplier and the Settlement Value Securities shall be made by the Calculation Agent in the circumstances described below. For purposes of the following adjustments, except as noted below, ADSs shall be treated like common stock if a comparable adjustment to the foreign shares underlying the ADSs is made pursuant to the terms of the depositary arrangement for the ADSs or if holders of ADSs are entitled to receive property in respect of the underlying foreign share.
(a) If a Settlement Value Security is subject to a stock split or reverse stock split, then once the split has become effective, the Multiplier relating to such Settlement Value Security shall be adjusted. The Multiplier shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares outstanding of the Settlement Value Security after the split with respect to each share of such Settlement Value Security immediately prior to effectiveness of the split and the prior Multiplier.
(b) If a Settlement Value Security is subject to an extraordinary stock dividend or extraordinary stock distribution that is given equally to all holders of shares, then once the Settlement Value Security is trading ex-dividend, the Multiplier for such Settlement Value Security shall be increased by the product of the number of shares of such Settlement Value Security issued with respect to one share of such Settlement Value Security and the prior Multiplier.
(c) If the issuer of a Settlement Value Security, or if a Settlement Value Security is an ADS, the foreign issuer of the underlying foreign share, is being liquidated or dissolved or is subject to a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, such Settlement Value Security shall continue to be included in the calculation of the Settlement Value so long as the Relevant Exchange is reporting a market price for the Settlement Value Security. If a market price, including a price on a bulletin board service, is no longer available
A-1
for a Settlement Value Security, then the value of the Settlement Value Security shall equal zero for so long as no market price is available, and no attempt shall be made to find a replacement stock or increase the Settlement Value to compensate for the deletion of such Settlement Value Security.
(d) If the issuer of a Settlement Value Security, or if a Settlement Value Security is an ADS, the foreign issuer of the underlying foreign share, has been subject to a merger or consolidation and is not the surviving entity and holders of the Settlement Value Security are entitled to receive cash, securities, other property or a combination thereof in exchange for the Settlement Value Security, then the following shall be included in the calculation of the Settlement Value as “Settlement Property”:
(i) To the extent cash is received, the Settlement Property shall include, subject to any subsequent adjustments made by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this Section 4, an amount of cash equal to the product of (1) the cash consideration per share of Settlement Value Security and (2) the Multiplier for the Settlement Value Security, each determined as of the time the holders of the Settlement Value Security are entitled to receive the cash consideration (the “M&A Cash Component”), plus accrued interest. Interest shall accrue beginning the first London Business Day after the day that holders of the Settlement Value Security receive the cash consideration until the Stated Maturity Date (the “M&A Cash Component Interest Accrual Period”). Interest shall accrue on the M&A Cash Component at a rate equal to LIBOR with a term corresponding to the M&A Cash Component Interest Accrual Period.
(ii) To the extent that equity securities that are traded or listed on an exchange, quotation system or market are received, once the exchange for the new securities has become effective, the former Settlement Value Security shall be removed from the calculation of the Settlement Value and the Settlement Property will include a number of shares of the new security equal to the Multiplier for the new security as a new Settlement Value Security. The Multiplier for the new Settlement Value Security shall equal the product of the last value of the Multiplier of the original Settlement Value Security and the number of securities of the new Settlement Value Security exchanged with respect to one share of the original Settlement Value Security.
(iii) To the extent that equity securities that are not traded or listed on an exchange, quotation system or market or non-equity securities or other property (other than cash) is received, the Calculation Agent shall determine the fair market value of the securities or other property received per share of Settlement Value Security (which may be based on the Average Execution Price for such securities or other property). The Settlement Property shall include, subject to any subsequent adjustments made by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this Section 4, an amount of cash equal to the product of (1) such fair market value per share of Settlement Value Security and (2) the Multiplier for the Settlement Value Security (the “M&A Sale Component”), each determined as of the time holders of the Settlement Value Security are entitled to receive the securities or other property, plus accrued interest. Interest shall accrue beginning the first London Business Day after the day that an affiliate of the Company sells the securities or other property used to hedge the Company’s obligations under the Notes until the Stated Maturity Date (the “M&A Sale Component Interest Accrual Period”). Interest shall
A-2
accrue at a rate equal to LIBOR with a term corresponding to the M&A Sale Component Interest Accrual Period.
(e) If all of the shares of a Settlement Value Security of an issuer are converted into or exchanged for the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of equity securities other than such Settlement Value Security, whether by capital reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification or otherwise, then, once the conversion has become effective, the former Settlement Value Security shall be removed from the calculation of the Settlement Value and the Settlement Property will include as a new Settlement Value Security a number of shares of the new equity securities equal to the Multiplier for the new Settlement Value Security. The initial Multiplier for each new Settlement Value Security shall equal the product of the last value of the Multiplier of the original Settlement Value Security and the number of shares of the new Settlement Value Security issued with respect to one share of the original Settlement Value Security.
(f) If the issuer of a Settlement Value Security, or if a Settlement Value Security is an ADS, the issuer of the underlying foreign share, issues to all of its shareholders common stock or another equity security that is traded or listed on an exchange, quotation system or market of an issuer other than itself, then the Settlement Property shall include as a new Settlement Value Security a number of shares of the new common stock or other equity security equal to the Multiplier for the new Settlement Value Security. The initial Multiplier for the new Settlement Value Security shall equal the product of the last value of the Multiplier with respect to the original Settlement Value Security and the number of shares of the new Settlement Value Security with respect to one share of the original Settlement Value Security.
(g) If an ADS is no longer listed or admitted to trading on a United States securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or is no longer a security quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, then the ADS shall be removed from the calculation of the Settlement Value, the foreign share underlying the ADS shall be deemed to be a new common stock and the Settlement Property shall include as a new Settlement Value Security a number of shares of new common stock equal to the Multiplier for the new Settlement Value Security. The initial Multiplier for that new Settlement Value Security shall equal the product of the last value of the Multiplier with respect to the original ADS and the number of underlying foreign shares represented by a single such ADS.
(h) If a Settlement Value Security is subject to an extraordinary dividend or an extraordinary distribution (including upon liquidation or dissolution) of cash, equity securities that are not traded or listed on an exchange, quotation system or market, non-equity securities or other property of any kind which is received equally by all holders of such Settlement Value Security, then following will be included in the calculation of the Settlement Value as Settlement Property:
(i) To the extent cash is entitled to be received, the Settlement Property shall include, subject to any subsequent adjustments made by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this Section 4, on each day after the time that the Settlement Value Security trades ex-dividend until the date the cash consideration is entitled to be received, the present value of the cash to be received per share of Settlement Value Security multiplied by the Multiplier for the Settlement Value Security on such day, discounted at a rate equal to LIBOR, with a term beginning that day and ending on the date that the
A-3
cash is entitled to be received (the “PV Extraordinary Cash Component”); provided, however, that when the cash consideration is received, the preceding adjustment will be eliminated and the Settlement Property shall include, subject to any subsequent adjustments made by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this Section 4, an amount of cash equal to the product of (1) the cash consideration per share of Settlement Value Security and (2) the Multiplier for the Settlement Value Security, each determined as of the time the holders of the Settlement Value Security are entitled to receive the cash consideration (the “Extraordinary Cash Component”), plus accrued interest. Interest shall accrue on the Extraordinary Cash Component beginning the first London Business Day after the day that holders of the Settlement Value Security are entitled to receive the Extraordinary Cash Component until the Stated Maturity Date (the “Extraordinary Cash Component Interest Accrual Period”). Interest shall accrue at a rate equal to LIBOR with a term corresponding to the Extraordinary Cash Component Interest Accrual Period.
(ii) To the extent that equity securities that are not traded or listed on an exchange, quotation system or market or non-equity securities or other property (other than cash) is received, the Calculation Agent shall determine the fair market value of the securities or other property received per share of Settlement Value Security (which may be based on the Average Execution Price for such securities or other property) and the Settlement Property shall include, subject to any subsequent adjustments made by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this Section 4, an amount of cash equal to the product of (1) such fair market value per share of Settlement Value Security, and (2) the Multiplier for the Settlement Value Security (the “Extraordinary Sale Component”), each determined as of the time the holders of the Settlement Value Security are entitled to receive the securities or other property, plus accrued interest. Interest shall accrue beginning the first London Business Day after the day that an affiliate of the Company sells the securities or other property used to hedge the Company’s obligations under the Notes until the Stated Maturity Date (the “Extraordinary Sale Component Interest Accrual Period”). Interest shall accrue at a rate equal to LIBOR with a term corresponding to the Extraordinary Sale Component Interest Accrual Period.
(i) If other corporate events occur with respect to such issuer of a Settlement Value Security, adjustments shall be made which, in the sole judgment of the Calculation Agent, are appropriate to reflect the economic substance of such events.
The payment of an ordinary cash dividend by an issuer of a Settlement Value Security, or if a Settlement Value Security is an ADS, by a foreign issuer of the underlying foreign share, from current income or retained earnings shall not result in an adjustment to the Multiplier.
If any of the cash received referred to in clauses (i) or (iii) of paragraph (d) above or clauses (i) or (ii) of paragraph (h) above is denominated in a foreign currency, such cash shall be converted into U.S. dollars using the Official X.X. Reuters Spot Closing Rate at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. If there are several quotes for the Official X.X. Reuters Spot Closing Rate at that time, the first quoted rate starting at 11:00 a.m. shall be the rate used. If there is no such Official X.X. Reuters Spot Closing Rate for a country’s currency at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, the foreign currency-denominated cash shall be converted into U.S. dollars using the last available U.S. dollar cross-rate quote before 11:00 a.m., New York City time.
A-4
No adjustments of any Multiplier shall be required unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least .1% (.001) in the Multiplier then in effect. Adjustments which result in a change of less than 1% (.001) shall be carried forward and included in the next adjustment, if any. The Multiplier resulting from any of the adjustments specified above shall be rounded at the Calculation Agent’s sole discretion.
5. Market Disruption Event; Valuation Date
The Calculation Agent shall determine whether or not one or more Market Disruption Events have occurred on a scheduled Valuation Date and whether or not such date is a Scheduled Trading Day. If the Calculation Agent determines that one or more Market Disruption Events have occurred on the day that would otherwise be the applicable Valuation Date, or that such date is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the Valuation Date shall be postponed to the next Scheduled Trading Day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs; provided, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on each of the eight Scheduled Trading Days following the originally scheduled Valuation Date, then that eighth Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed the Valuation Date and the Calculation Agent shall determine the Closing Price of each affected Settlement Value Security based upon its estimate of the value of the Settlement Value Security, as of the Close of Trading on that eighth Scheduled Trading Day.
