ARTICLE TWO

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Designation and Principal Amount.

The Notes are hereby authorized and are designated the “0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019.” The Notes issued on the Issue Date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture will be in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000 (plus up to an additional $37,500,000 aggregate principal amount pursuant to the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional Notes, as provided in the Underwriting Agreement), which amount shall be set forth in a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of the Notes pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture. In addition, the Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders, reopen the Indenture and issue additional Notes under the Indenture with the same terms (other than the date of issuance and, in some cases, the date from which interest will initially accrue) as the Notes issued on the Issue Date in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if

any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes issued on the Issue Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. The Notes issued on the Issue Date and any such additional Notes would be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture and would vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the Notes.

Section 2.02 Maturity.

The principal amount of the Notes will be payable on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.03 Form and Payment.

The Notes will be issued as global notes, in fully registered book-entry form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

Principal and/or interest, if any, on the global notes representing the Notes will be made to The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”).

The global notes representing the Notes will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and will be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. No global note may be transferred except as a whole by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor.

So long as the Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of a global note, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be the sole Holder of the Notes represented thereby for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as otherwise provided herein, each actual purchaser of each Note represented by a global note (“Beneficial Owner”) will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes and will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no global note representing the Notes shall be exchangeable or transferable. Accordingly, each Beneficial Owner must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such Beneficial Owner is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such Beneficial Owner owns its interest in order to exercise any rights of a Holder under such global note or the Indenture.

The global notes representing the Notes will be exchangeable for certificated Notes of like tenor and terms and of differing authorized denominations aggregating a like principal amount, only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the global debt securities and a successor to the Depositary is not appointed within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor to the Depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (iii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the global notes shall be exchangeable for certificated Notes and notifies the Trustee in writing of such determination or (iv) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Notes and any Beneficial Owner requests that its Notes be issued in physical, certificated form. Upon any such exchange, the certificated Notes shall be registered in the names of the Beneficial Owners of the global notes representing the Notes, which names shall be provided by the

Depositary’s relevant participants (as identified by the Depositary) to the Trustee. In such event the Company will execute, and subject to Section 303 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the global notes in exchange for such global notes. Upon the exchange of the global notes for such Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the global notes shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Such Notes in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the global notes shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall deliver such Notes to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.

Section 2.04 Interest.

The Notes shall bear interest at a rate equal to 0.25% per year. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from May 20, 2013, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided upon for the Notes, as the case may be. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing December 1, 2013 (each an “Interest Payment Date”), to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the Close of Business on May 15 and November 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, preceding such Interest Payment Date (a “Regular Record Date”).

Section 2.05 Transfer, Exchange and Conversion.

In addition to its obligations under Section 305 of the Base Indenture, the Company shall also cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies maintained pursuant to Section 1002 of the Base Indenture an office where Notes may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”).

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent, Security Registrar and Conversion Agent for the Notes.

The Company reserves the right to:

(i) vary or terminate the appointment of the Security Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent;

(ii) appoint additional Paying Agents or Conversion Agents; or

(iii) approve any change in the office through which any Security Registrar or any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent acts.

The Company shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Note surrendered for purchase or conversion except for any portion of that Note not being purchased or converted, as the case may be.

Section 2.06 Purchase and Cancellation.

Each of the Security Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it by Holders for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee in the manner provided in the Base Indenture and may not be reissued or resold. No Notes shall be authenticated in exchange for any Notes cancelled, except as provided in the Base Indenture.

The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), purchase Notes in the open market or by tender offer at any price or by private agreement. The Company shall cause any Notes so purchased (other than Notes purchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and such Notes will no longer be considered “Outstanding” under the Indenture upon their repurchase.

REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption.

(a) Prior to June 6, 2017, the Company may not redeem the Notes. On or after June 6, 2017, the Company may redeem any or all of the Notes on any Business Day (a “Redemption Date”), except for the Notes that the Company is required to repurchase as provided under Section 3.02, in cash at the Redemption Price; provided that the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending within 5 Trading Days immediately prior to the date of the Redemption Notice, including the last Trading Day of such period, exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price on each applicable Trading Day.

(b) The Company shall give notice of redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days immediately preceding the Redemption Date to all Holders of Notes on the date of the redemption notice at their addresses shown in the Security Registrar’s books (such notice, a “Redemption Notice”), with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent.

The Redemption Notice shall identify the Notes and the aggregate principal amount thereof to be redeemed pursuant to the redemption and shall state:

(i) that Holders have a right to convert the Notes called for redemption upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 3.01;

(ii) the Redemption Date;

(iii) the Redemption Price;

(iv) the time at which the Holders’ right to convert the Notes called for redemption will expire, which will be the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date;

(v) the Conversion Rate;

(vi) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

(vii) the procedures a Holder must follow to convert its Notes;

(viii) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price therefor;

(ix) the CUSIP number or numbers, as the case may be, of the Notes to be redeemed; and

(x) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued.

The Company shall issue a press release (and make the press release available on its website) announcing the redemption.

(c) Section 1103 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to, and have no force and effect with respect to, the Notes and any reference to Section 1103 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes shall be superseded by and references thereto shall be deemed to refer to this Section 3.01(c) of this Supplemental Indenture. If the Company does not redeem all of the Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000, from Notes then Outstanding and not already redeemed as a result of having previously been called for redemption, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. If the Trustee selects a portion of a Holder’s Notes for partial redemption and such Holder converts a portion of such Holder’s Note, the converted portion shall be deemed to be from the portion selected for redemption to the extent that the converted portion does not exceed the portion selected for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. If any Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall issue new Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed principal portion thereof; provided, that the Company shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the open of business 15 days before the mailing of a Redemption Notice and ending at the close of business on the earliest date on which the relevant Redemption Notice is deemed to have been given to all Holders of Notes to be redeemed or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Notes so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Notes being redeemed in part.

(d) With respect to any Notes that are converted in connection with a Redemption Notice, the Company shall, if applicable, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of Additional Shares in accordance with Section 5.07. In addition, the Company shall pay accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the Conversion Date provided under Section 5.01(d)(ii).

(e) No Notes may be redeemed if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Redemption Date.

(f) If, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time on the applicable Redemption Date, the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to make payment of the Redemption Price on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, then (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive the Redemption Price and previously accrued but unpaid interest); provided, that, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the immediately following Interest Payment Date, then accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date shall be paid, on such Interest Payment Date, to the Holder(s) of record of such Notes at the close of business on such Regular Record Date without any requirement to surrender such Notes to the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall return to the Company, as soon as practicable and upon receipt of written instructions, any money not required for that purpose.

(g) If the Redemption Price of any Note shall not be fully and duly paid in accordance with this Section 3.01, the portion of the Redemption Price that is not so paid shall bear interest pursuant to Section 2.04, and such Note shall continue to be convertible pursuant to Article 5 of this Supplemental Indenture, until such Redemption Price and accrued interest have been paid.

Section 3.02 Purchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs, each Holder will have the option to require the Company to purchase for cash (a “Fundamental Change Purchase Right”) all or any portion of such Holder’s Notes that is equal to $1,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the day of the Company’s choosing that is not less than 20 or more than 35 Business Days after the occurrence of such Fundamental Change (such day, the “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”) at a purchase price (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (unless the Fundamental Change Purchase Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which it relates, in which case interest accrued to the Interest Payment Date will be paid to Holders as of the preceding Regular Record Date, and the price the Company is required to pay to the Holder surrendering the Note for purchase will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes subject to purchase and will not include any accrued and unpaid interest).

(b) A Holder must deliver written notice (a “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice”) of its exercise of this Fundamental Change Purchase Right to the Paying Agent during the period between the delivery of the Fundamental Change Notice and the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date in the form set forth in the global note attached as Exhibit B to this Indenture, in each case duly completed and signed, with appropriate signature guarantee, specifying the Notes for which the Fundamental Change Purchase Right is being exercised. If a Holder wishes to withdraw this election, it must

provide a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent at any time until the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. If the Notes are not in certificated form, the notice given by each Holder (and any withdrawal notice) must comply with applicable Depositary procedures.

(c) The Company shall mail to the Trustee and to each Holder a written notice of a Fundamental Change (the “Fundamental Change Notice”) within five Business Days after the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing the occurrence of such Fundamental Change (and make a press release available on its website). This Fundamental Change Notice shall state certain specified information, including:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

(ii) the effective date of the Fundamental Change, and whether the Fundamental Change is a Make-Whole Adjustment Event;

(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the Fundamental Change Purchase Right;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;

(v) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;

(vi) the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate, and the procedures required for exercise of a Holder’s right to convert its Notes;

(vii) the procedures required for exercise of the Fundamental Change Purchase Right, and the procedures required for withdrawal of any such exercise; and

(viii) the name and address of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.

No failure of the Company to give a Fundamental Change Notice shall limit any Holder’s right pursuant hereto to exercise their Fundamental Change Purchase Right.

(d) The Company shall be required to purchase Notes that have been validly surrendered for purchase and not withdrawn on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. The Holder will receive payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on the later of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date and the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Holder’s Notes. If the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Notes for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been submitted and not validly withdrawn, then:

(i) such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes is made or whether or not the Note is delivered to the Paying Agent) and

(ii) all other rights of the relevant Holders of such Notes shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and, if the Fundamental

Change Purchase Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, the right of the Holder on such Regular Record Date to receive the related interest payment).

(e) No Notes may be purchased by the Company at the option of Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Notes held by it during the continuance of such an acceleration.

(f) In connection with any Fundamental Change Purchase Right, the Company shall, to the extent applicable:

(i) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act, to the extent such rules as applicable;

(ii) file a Schedule TO or any successor or similar schedule, if required, under the Exchange Act; and

(iii) otherwise comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

ARTICLE FOUR

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS

Article Eight of the Base Indenture is hereby replaced by the following:

The Company shall not consolidate with, or merge with or into, enter into any combination or binding share exchange with, another Person or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any successor Person unless:

(i) the successor Person, if any, is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture;

(ii) if as a result of such transaction the Notes become convertible into common stock or other securities issued by a third party (subject to the provisions set forth under Section 5.03), such third party fully and unconditionally guarantees all the obligations of the Company or such successor Person under the Notes and the Indenture;

(iii) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(iv) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction an Officer’s Certificate to the foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel (which may rely upon such Officer’s Certificate as to the absence of defaults and Events of Default) stating that the proposed transaction and such supplemental indenture will, upon consummation of the proposed transaction, comply with this Indenture.

Upon any such consolidation, merger, combination, binding share exchange, or sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation (if not the Company) shall succeed to the Company, and may exercise every right and power of the Company, under this Indenture, and the Company shall be discharged from its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except in the case of any such lease. For purposes of the foregoing, any sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of the assets of one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries that would, if the Company had held such assets directly, have constituted the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be treated as such under this Indenture.

ARTICLE FIVE

CONVERSION OF NOTES

Section 5.01 Right to Convert. (a) At any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, a Holder may convert all or any portion of its Notes at the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date. A Holder may convert fewer than all of such Holder’s Notes so long as the Notes converted are in an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount.

(b) Upon conversion of a Note, a Holder will not receive any additional cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, unless such Holder is the Holder on a Regular Record Date and such conversion occurs between such Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which it relates as described in Section 5.01(c), and the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for accrued and unpaid interest. Except as described in Section 5.01(c), the Company’s settlement of conversions pursuant to Section 5.03 shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date.

(c) Holders at the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date will receive payment of interest payable on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such Notes at any time after the Close of Business on the applicable Regular Record Date. Notes surrendered for conversion by a Holder after the Close of Business on any Regular Record Date but prior to the next Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest that will be payable on the Notes; provided, however, that no such payment shall be required (1) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date following a Fundamental Change that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (2) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date in accordance with Section 3.01 that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business

Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (3) with respect to any Notes surrendered for conversion following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date or (4) only to the extent of overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, all Holders on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date will receive and retain the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date regardless of whether their Notes are converted following such Regular Record Date.

(d) If the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption under Section 3.01, Holders shall have the right to convert all or a portion of their Notes called for redemption at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, after which time Holders shall no longer have the right to convert their Notes on account of the Company’s delivery of such Redemption Notice, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price.

If a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with the Company’s Redemption Notice, the Company shall:

(i) increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes as set in accordance with Section 5.07; and

(ii) pay to such Holder an amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that are surrendered for conversion to, but excluding, the Conversion Date; provided that if such Conversion Date occurs after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company shall pay the interest due on that Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record on the relevant Regular Record Date and no additional payment shall be made pursuant to this clause (ii).

(e) The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issuance of the shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay the tax.

Section 5.02 Section 382 Limitation on Beneficial Ownership Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding Section 5.01, no Holder will be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon conversion, and any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes shall be void and of no effect, to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt or delivery would cause such converting Holder to become an Acquiring Person, unless such converting Holder has received prior approval of the Board of Directors (the “Section 382 Limitation”). If any delivery of shares of Common Stock owed to a Holder upon conversion of Notes is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the Section 382 Limitation, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such shares of Common Stock as promptly as practicable after such delivery would not result in such converting Holder being an Acquiring Person and such converting Holder gives notice thereof to the Company.

Section 5.03 Settlement upon Conversion. (a) Upon conversion, the Company shall deliver to Holders in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the relevant Conversion Date. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion. Instead, the Company will pay cash in lieu of any fractional share based on the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date.

(b) Each conversion will be deemed to have been effected as to any Notes surrendered for conversion on the Conversion Date, and with respect to the shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon such conversion, the Person in whose name the certificate or certificates for such shares will be registered shall be treated as the holder of record of such shares as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date.

(c) The Company shall deliver the consideration due in respect of any conversion on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date.

Section 5.04 Conversion Procedures.

(a) (1) If a Note is represented by a certificated security, to exercise its right of conversion, a Holder must:

(i) complete and manually sign the Conversion Notice, with the appropriate signature guarantee, or facsimile of the Conversion Notice and deliver the completed Conversion Notice (which shall be irrevocable) to the Conversion Agent;

(ii) surrender the certificated Note to the Conversion Agent;

(iii) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or Conversion Agent;

(iv) pay all transfer or similar taxes if required pursuant to Section 5.01(e); and

(v) pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date required by Section 5.01(c), or

(2) If a Note is represented by a global security, to exercise its right of conversion, a Holder must comply with Section 5.04(a)(1)(iv) and Section 5.04(a)(1)(v) above and the Depositary’s procedures for converting a beneficial interest in a global security.

(b) If a Holder has submitted its Notes for purchase upon a Fundamental Change, such Holder may only convert its Notes if it withdraws its Fundamental Change Purchase Notice prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, pursuant to Section 3.02(b). If such Holder’s Notes are submitted for purchase upon a Fundamental Change, such Holder’s right to withdraw its Fundamental Change Purchase Notice and convert its Notes that are subject to purchase will terminate at the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

Section 5.05 Conversion Rate Adjustments. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time, without duplication, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all of its shares of Common Stock, or if the Company subdivides or combines Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR = CR0 ×	OS
	OS0

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be;

CR = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be;

OS0` = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be; and

OS = the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be.

Any adjustment made under this Section 5.05(a) shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be. If such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination described in this Section 5.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, 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 to effect such subdivision or combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or subdivision or combination had not been announced.

(b) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock of any rights, options or warrants entitling such holders for a period of not more than 60 calendar days from the announcement date for such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and

including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR = CR0 ×	OS0 + X
	OS0 + Y

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;

CR = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;

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

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution.

Any increase made under this Section 5.05(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to 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 distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the Record Date for such distribution had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 5.05(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price that is less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the applicable 10 consecutive Trading Day period, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives 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 in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(c) (A) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a distribution (a “Relevant Distribution”) of shares of the Company’s capital stock, evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s capital stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common

Stock (excluding (i) dividends or distributions and rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected under Section 5.05(a) or Section 5.05(b) above; (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash covered under Section 5.05(d); and (iii) Spin-Offs), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR = CR0 ×	XX0
	XX0 – FMV

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;

CR = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;

SP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV = the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property or rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the above portion of this Section 5.05(c) shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. However, if such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, without having to convert its Notes, the amount and type of the Relevant Distribution that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for the distribution.

For purposes of this Section 5.05(c)(A) (and subject in all respects to Section 5.05(f)):

(1) Rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”):

(i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock;

(ii) are not exercisable; and

(iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.05(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 5.05(c) shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 5.05(c).

(2) If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the Issue Date, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and the Record Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof).

(3) In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event of the type described in the immediately preceding clause (2) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 5.05(c) was made:

(i) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or repurchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution pursuant to Section 5.05(d), equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase; and

(ii) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

(4) For purposes of Section 5.05(a), Section 5.05(b) and this Section 5.05(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 5.05(c) is applicable includes one or both of:

(i) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 5.05(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(ii) an issuance of rights, options or warrants to which Section 5.05(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then:

(1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 5.05(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 5.05(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made; and

(2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 5.05(a) and Section 5.05(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Record Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Record Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date or immediately prior to the Open of Business on such effective date” within the meaning of Section 5.05(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date” within the meaning of Section 5.05(b).

(B) With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.05(c) where there has been an Ex-Dividend Date for a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR = CR0 ×	FMV + MP0
	MP0

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for the Spin-Off;

CR = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for the Spin-Off;

FMV = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of “Closing Sale Price” as if references therein to Common Stock were to such capital stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the effective date for the Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and

MP0 = 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 5.05(c) shall be determined on the last day of the Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for the Spin-Off. In respect of any

conversion during the Valuation Period for any Spin-Off, references within this Section 5.05(c)(B) related to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be 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.

(d) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than (i) any dividend or distribution in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up and (ii) a regular cash dividend that does not exceed $0.03 per share per quarter (the “Dividend Threshold Amount”)), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR = CR0 ×	SP0 – T
	SP0 – C

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;

CR = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;

T = the Dividend Threshold Amount; provided that if the dividend or distribution is not a regular quarterly cash dividend, the Dividend Threshold Amount will be deemed to be zero; and

C = the amount in cash per share of Common Stock the Company pays, or distributes, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.

The Dividend Threshold Amount is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Conversion Rate; provided that no adjustment will be made to the Dividend Threshold Amount for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate made under this Section 5.05(d).

Any increase made under this Section 5.05(d) shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. However, if any dividend or distribution described in this Section 5.05(d) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Common Stock, without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such Holder

would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock and, if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding 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 based on the following formula:

CR = CR0 ×	AC + (OS x SP)
	OS0 x SP

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;

CR = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;

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

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender or exchange offer);

OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (after giving effect to such tender or exchange offer); and

SP = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 5.05(e) shall be determined at the Close of Business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, but excluding, the Expiration Date but shall be given effect at the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. In respect of any conversion during the 10 Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, references within this Section 5.05(e) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate.

(f) To the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes, the Holders shall receive, in addition to the Common Stock received in connection with such conversion, the rights under the rights plan, unless prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of Common Stock, shares of the Company’s capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property as described in Section 5.05(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(g) To the extent permitted by applicable law and applicable listing rules of The New York Stock Exchange and any other securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are then listed, (i) the Company is permitted to increase the Conversion Rate of the Notes by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days so long as the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest and (ii) the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of the Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of the Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar events. The Company must give at least 15 days’ prior notice of any such increase in the Conversion Rate.

(h) Adjustments to the Conversion Rate will be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.05 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate. However, the Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate and make such carried forward adjustments (1) when the cumulative net effect of all adjustments not yet made will result in a change of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate or (2) regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (i) upon any required purchases of the Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change and (ii) upon any conversion of Notes.

(i) Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Closing Sale Prices or the Stock Price over a span of multiple days, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Record Date, the Ex-Dividend Date, the Expiration Date or the Effective Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period from which such Closing Sale Prices or Stock Prices are to be calculated.

(j) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made for a given transaction if Holders of the Notes will be entitled to participate in that transaction, without conversion of the Notes, on the same terms and at the same time as a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of a Holder’s Notes divided by $1,000 and multiplied by the Conversion Rate would be entitled to participate.

(k) If the Company issues rights, options or warrants that are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then (i) the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to the above provisions until the earliest of these triggering events occurs; and (ii)

the Company will readjust the Conversion Rate to the extent any of these rights, options or warrants are not exercised before they expire.

(l) If the Company adjusts the Conversion Rate pursuant to the above provisions, the Company shall deliver to the Conversion Agent a certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate, detailing the calculation of the Conversion Rate and describing the facts upon which the adjustment is based. In addition, the Company shall issue a press release containing the relevant information (and make the press release available on its website).

Section 5.06 Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes to the Common Stock. In the event of:

(a) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination);

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

(c) a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition to another Person of the Company’s property and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety,

in each case, in which holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive cash, securities or other property for their shares of Common Stock (“Reference Property”), the Company or the successor or purchasing company, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture, providing that, at and after the effective time of such transaction, Holders of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes will be entitled to convert 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 Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such transaction. The supplemental indenture shall also provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that are as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments described under Section 5.05. If the Reference Property in respect of any such transaction includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets of a company other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such transaction, such other company shall also execute such supplemental indenture, and such supplemental indenture shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders, including the right of Holders to require the Company to purchase their Notes upon a Fundamental Change as described in Section 3.02, as the Board of Directors reasonably considers necessary by reason of the foregoing. If the Notes become convertible into Reference Property, the Company shall notify the Trustee and issue a press release containing the relevant information (and make the press release available on its website).

For purposes of the foregoing, the type and amount of consideration that holders of the Common Stock are entitled to in the case of recapitalizations, reclassifications, changes of the Common Stock, consolidations, mergers, combinations, binding share exchanges, sales, assignments, conveyances, transfers, leases or other dispositions that cause the Common Stock to be converted into or exchanged for the right to receive more than a single type of consideration

because the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the type of consideration they receive will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. The Company shall notify Holders of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. The Company shall not become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the foregoing.

If the Notes become convertible into Reference Property, the Company will adjust the Dividend Threshold Amount based on the number of shares of common stock comprising the Reference Property and (if applicable) the value of any non-stock consideration comprising the Reference Property. If the Reference Property is composed solely of non-stock consideration, the Dividend Threshold Amount will be zero.

Section 5.07 Adjustment to Conversion Rate upon Conversion upon a Make-Whole Adjustment Event or Redemption Notice.

(a) If a Holder elects to convert its Notes at any time from, and including, (A) the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event to, and including, the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date, or if a Make-Whole Adjustment Event does not also constitute a Fundamental Change, the 40th scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Adjustment Event (the “Make-Whole Conversion Period”), or (B) the date of a Redemption Notice under Section 3.01 to, and including, the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, the Conversion Rate will be increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock (these shares being referred to as the “Additional Shares”) pursuant to Section 5.07(b) below. The Company will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the anticipated Effective Date of such Make-Whole Adjustment Event and issue a press release as soon as practicable after the Company first determines the anticipated Effective Date of such Make-Whole Adjustment Event (and make the press release available on its website). The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to give notice to Holders of the anticipated Effective Date for a Make-Whole Adjustment Event at least 30 scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date.

(b) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate will be increased for conversions in connection with a Make-Whole Adjustment Event or Redemption Notice will be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Adjustment Event occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) or the date of the Redemption Notice and (1) the price paid per share of the Common Stock in the Change in Control in the case of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event described in clause (2) of the definition of “Change in Control,” in the event that the Common Stock is acquired for cash, or, (2) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of such other Make-Whole Adjustment Event or the date of the Redemption Notice, in the case of any other Make-Whole Adjustment Event or a Redemption Notice. The amount determined under the first or second clause of the preceding sentence, as applicable, is referred to as the “Stock Price.”

The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table below (i.e., column headers) and the number of Additional Shares in the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares will be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05.

The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be increased based on the Stock Price and the Effective Date:

	Stock Price
Effective Date	$50.01	$60.00	$70.00	$80.00	$90.00	$100.00	$110.00	$120.00	$130.00	$140.00	$150.00	$180.00

(c) The exact Stock Price and Effective Date may not be set forth in the table in Section 5.07(b), in which case if the Stock Price is:

(i) between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable;

(ii) in excess of $180.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), the Conversion Rate will not be increased; and

(iii) less than $50.01 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), the Conversion Rate will not be increased.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may not increase the Conversion Rate to more than 19.9960 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, provided that the Company will adjust such number of shares for the same events for which the Company will adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05.

Section 5.08 Reserved Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to

permit the conversion, in accordance herewith, of all of the Notes (assuming, for such purposes, that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder). The shares of Common Stock due upon conversion of a global note shall be delivered by the Company in accordance with the Depositary’s customary practices.

All shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free of preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim that arises from the action or inaction of the Company.

The Company shall comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall list such shares on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed on the applicable Conversion Date.

Section 5.09 Trustee Adjustment Disclaimer.

The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article Five should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee has no duty to determine whether a supplemental indenture need be entered into or whether any provisions of any supplemental indenture are correct. 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 the Notes. The Trustee shall not be responsible for making any calculations hereunder nor the Company’s failure to comply with this Article Five. Each Conversion Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) shall have the same protection under this Section 5.09 as the Trustee.

ARTICLE SIX

GUARANTEE OF NOTES

Section 6.01 Guarantee.

Subject to Section 6.08, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not as surety, the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or early termination or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, at the time and place and in the manner provided for herein and in the Base Indenture) and performance of the Notes and all other amounts due from the Company under this Indenture to each Holder and to the Trustee (collectively with respect to each series of Notes, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Upon failure by the Company to pay punctually any such amount, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified herein and in the Base Indenture. This Article Six is a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any right to require any of the Holders to xxx the Company, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

The Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to a Note are not convertible and shall automatically terminate when that Note is converted into Common Stock.

Section 6.02 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

To further evidence the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 6.01, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Subsidiary Guarantee in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto with respect to the Notes. Such Subsidiary Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer of each Subsidiary Guarantor, each of whom, in each case, shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all requisite corporate or equivalent organizational action. The validity and enforceability of any Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any Note or Notes.

Section 6.03 Guarantee Unconditional.

Subject to Section 6.08, the obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: (1) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise, or any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (2) any modification or amendment of or supplement hereto or to the Indenture; (3) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company, or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (4) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Subsidiary Guarantors may have at any time against the Company or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; (5) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company, or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related hereto or to the Indenture or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company, or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company hereunder or under the Indenture; (6) any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event affecting any term of any Guaranteed Obligation or any Holder’s rights with respect thereto; or (7) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, any other Subsidiary Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

Section 6.04 Discharge, Release and Reinstatement of Guarantee In Certain Circumstances.

(1) Subject to Sections 6.04(2), each of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Notes shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed

Obligations with respect to the Notes shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company or any other party hereunder or under the Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, each of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

(2) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released from its Subsidiary Guarantee (i) if it no longer guarantees any other Publicly Traded Debt Securities (other than by reason of payment under any guarantee of any such Publicly Traded Debt Securities), (ii) if as a result of the sale or other disposition of its capital stock, it ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) upon a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets, or (iv) upon a merger or consolidation of a Subsidiary Guarantor with a Person other than the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor.

The Trustee shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Company and upon receipt an Opinion of Counsel that the provisions of Sections 6.04(2) have been complied with, deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance with Sections 6.04(2). Any Subsidiary Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and the other obligations of the Company hereunder as provided in this Article Six.

Section 6.05 Waivers.

Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Company, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person.

Section 6.06 Subordination; Subrogation.

Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby subordinates to the Guaranteed Obligations all Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company or of any other Subsidiary Guarantor to such Subsidiary Guarantor. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby further agrees not to assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim for subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or otherwise, against the Company arising out of or by reason of this Article Six or the obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the payment or securing or purchasing of any of the Guaranteed Obligations by any of the Subsidiary Guarantors unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 6.07 Stay of Acceleration.

If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms hereof or the Indenture shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Holders.

Section 6.08 Limitation on Obligations.

(1) The provisions of this Article Six are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article Six would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability under this Article Six, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article Six to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Holders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 6.08(1) with respect to the Maximum Liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Holders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither the Subsidiary Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 6.08(1) with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law.

(2) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor, and may exceed the aggregate Maximum Liability of all other Subsidiary Guarantors, without impairing this Article Six or affecting the rights and remedies of the Holders hereunder. Nothing in this Section 6.08(2) shall be construed to increase any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

(3) In the event any Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Article Six or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Article Six, each other Subsidiary Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Company after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Subsidiary Guarantors, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Subsidiary Guarantors from the Company after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this Section 6.08(3) shall affect any Subsidiary Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to

receive any contribution under this Article Six from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all the Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions of this Section 6.08(3) are for the benefit of both the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 6.09 Default and Enforcement.

If any Subsidiary Guarantor fails to pay in accordance with Section 6.01, the Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the guarantee of any such Subsidiary Guarantor and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations thereunder and hereunder by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from such Subsidiary Guarantor the obligations.

Section 6.10 Amendment, Etc.

No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Supplemental Indenture relating to any Subsidiary Guarantor or consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person from any such provision will in any event be effective unless it is signed by such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee.

Section 6.11 Acknowledgment.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges communication of the terms of this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture and the Notes and consents to and approves of the same.

Section 6.12 Costs and Expenses.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay on demand by the Trustee any and all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel or any of the Holders in enforcing any of their rights under any Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 6.13 No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

No Subsidiary Guarantee shall operate by way of merger of any of the obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor under any other agreement, including, without limitation, this Supplemental Indenture. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the Indenture or the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the Indenture or the Notes preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges in the Subsidiary Guarantee and under this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and any other document or instrument between a Subsidiary Guarantor and/or the Company and the Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 6.14 Guarantee in Addition to Other Obligations.

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Supplemental Indenture are in addition to and not in substitution for any other obligations to the Trustee or to any of the Holders in relation to this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes and any guarantees or security at any time held by or for the benefit of any of them.

Section 6.15 Severability.

Any provision of this Article Six which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction unless its removal would substantially defeat the basic intent, spirit and purpose of this Supplemental Indenture and this Article Six.

Section 6.16 Successors and Assigns.

Section 7.01 Events of Default. The first paragraph of Section 501 of the Base Indenture is hereby replaced by the following:

Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Indenture:

(i) the Company fails to pay the principal of any Note when due;

(ii) the Company fails to deliver the Settlement Amount owing upon conversion of any Note within 5 calendar days;

(iii) the Company fails to pay any interest on any Note when due, and such failure continues for 30 calendar days;

(vi) the Company fails to provide timely notice of a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Adjustment Event in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(vii) the Company fails to perform any other covenant required of it in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is specifically dealt with in clauses (i) through (vi) above) and such failure continues for 60 calendar days after notice is given in accordance with this Indenture;

(viii) the occurrence of any event that results in the acceleration of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness, other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness, that has an outstanding principal amount of $10 million or more in the aggregate;

(ix) a default in the payment of any principal or interest in respect of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness, other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness, that has an outstanding principal amount of $20 million or more and the continuation of that default for ten Business Days from the date the principal or interest payment became due and payable, after giving effect to any applicable grace period provided for in the documents governing the Indebtedness;

(x) the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under Bankruptcy Law, as now or hereafter constituted, or a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; and

(xi) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under the Bankruptcy Law, as now or hereafter constituted, or the consent by it to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action.

Section 7.02 Acceleration. The following paragraph shall replace the first paragraph of Section 502 of the Base Indenture:

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, other than an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(x) or (xi), occurs and is continuing, then in every case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified portion) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes pursuant to Sections 7.01(x) or (xi) occurs, the principal amount of the Notes and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

Section 7.03 Additional Interest. Notwithstanding anything else in this Indenture to the contrary, if the Company so elects, the sole remedy under the Indenture for an Event of Default relating to (i) the Company’s failure to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act any documents or reports that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or (ii) the Company’s failure to comply with its reporting obligations to the Trustee and the Commission, pursuant to Section 10.01, will, for the 180 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (“Additional Interest”) to, but not including, the 181st day thereafter (or, if applicable, the earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to the reporting obligations is cured or waived). Any such Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes. If the Event of Default is continuing on the 181st day after an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the reporting obligations described above first occurs, the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Article Five of the Base Indenture and Article Seven of this Supplemental Indenture. The provisions of this Indenture described in this paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any other Events of Default.

In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with the reporting obligations set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company must notify all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the Close of Business on the fifth Business Day prior to the date on which such Event of Default would otherwise occur. Upon the Company’s failure to timely give such notice or pay Additional Interest, the Notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided above and in Section 502 of the Base Indenture and Section 7.02 of this Supplemental Indenture.

Section 7.04 Suits. The following shall be added to the end of Section 507 of the Base Indenture:

However, the limitations of Section 507 of the Base Indenture do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the applicable due date, the right to convert the Note or to receive the consideration due upon conversion or the right of a Beneficial Owner to exchange its beneficial interest in a global security representing Notes for a physical note if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in each case, in accordance with this Indenture.

Section 7.05 Waivers. The following shall replace the first paragraph of Section 513 of the Base Indenture:

The Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may waive any default or Event of Default unless:

(i) the Company fails to pay the principal of or any interest on any Note when due;

(ii) the Company fails to deliver the consideration due upon conversion of any Note within the time period required by this Indenture; or

(iii) the Company fails to comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture the modification of which would require the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected.

Section 7.06 Notice of Default. Section 602 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced with the following:

Within 90 days after the occurrence and continuation of any default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes that is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit to all Holders notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Note, or a default in the delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 7.01(iv), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after notice has been given to the Company. For the purpose of this Section 7.06, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

Payments of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, principal and interest that are not made when due will accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate plus one percent from the required payment date.

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. f/k/a as Chemical Bank), as Trustee

	By:
		Authorized Officer

REVERSE OF SECURITY

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of June 28, 1996 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. f/k/a as Chemical Bank), as Trustee, herein called the “Trustee” (which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms of this Security include the covenants and terms established by the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 20, 2013, among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee, pursuant to the authority granted under the Indenture (such terms and covenants shall be referred to herein collectively with the terms and covenants set out in the Indenture that are applicable to the Securities of this series as the “Indenture Terms”). Defined terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given such terms in the Indenture Terms. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, in an aggregate principal amount of $[·]. The Company may subsequently issue additional securities as part of this series of Securities under the Indenture.

The Securities are redeemable at the option of the Company in accordance with the Indenture Terms prior to maturity. No sinking fund is provided for the Securities and the Securities will not be subject to defeasance.

Subject to the Indenture Terms, the Securities called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. The Company shall give the Redemption Notice not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days immediately preceding the Redemption Date to each Holder to be redeemed at its registered address. The Redemption Notice for the Securities shall state the amount to be redeemed. On and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on any Securities that are redeemed. If less than all of the Securities are redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select Securities to be redeemed in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof, subject to Section 3.01(c) of the Supplemental Indenture.

Subject to the Indenture Terms, in the event of a Fundamental Change, each Holder of the Securities shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Securities including any portion thereof which is $1,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple thereof on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date at a price payable in cash equal to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.

The Securities shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock in accordance with Article Five of the Supplemental Indenture. To convert a Security, a Holder must satisfy the requirements of Section 5.04 of the Supplemental Indenture. A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the portion is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount.

Upon conversion of a Security, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock payable upon conversion in accordance with Article Five of the Supplemental Indenture, at the Conversion Rate specified in the Supplemental Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Supplemental Indenture.

No Holder will be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon conversion, and any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities shall be void and of no effect, to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt or delivery would cause such converting Holder to become an Acquiring Person, unless such converting Holder has received prior approval of the Board of Directors. If any delivery of shares of Common Stock owed to a Holder upon conversion of Securities is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the Section 382 Limitation, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such shares of Common Stock as promptly as practicable after such delivery would not result in such converting Holder being an Acquiring Person and such converting Holder gives notice thereof to the Company.

The following constitute Events of Default: the Company fails to pay the principal of any Security when due; the Company fails to deliver the Settlement Amount owing upon conversion of any Security within 5 calendar days; the Company fails to pay any interest on any Security when due, and such failure continues for 30 calendar days; the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price of any Note when due; the Company fails to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Security when due; the Company fails to provide timely notice of a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Adjustment Event in accordance with the terms of the Supplemental Indenture; the Company fails to perform any other covenant required of it in the Supplemental Indenture and such failure continues for 60 calendar days after notice is given in accordance with the Supplemental Indenture; the occurrence of any event that results in the acceleration of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness, other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness, that has an outstanding principal amount of $10 million or more in the aggregate; a default in the payment of any principal or interest in respect of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness, other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness, that has an outstanding principal amount of $20 million or more and the continuation of that default for ten Business Days from the date the principal or interest payment became due and payable, after giving effect to any applicable grace period provided for in the documents governing the Indebtedness; and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization as provided in the Indenture Terms. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series may declare the principal of all of the Securities of this series to be due and payable immediately. Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of this series may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee with respect to such Securities. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Securities of this series notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Company must furnish an annual compliance certificate to the Trustee.

The Supplemental Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities at any time by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. Without the consent of any Holder of Securities, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Securities in any material respect. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holders of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon

the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture Terms and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any interest on this Security at the times, places and rates, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture Terms and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency appointed by the Company in any place where the principal of and any interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. The Security Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) for a period beginning 15 Business Days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed and ending on the date of such selection.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000.00 and integral multiples of $1,000.00 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture Terms and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture Terms or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities of this series by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities of this series.

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

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture Terms or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), the Trustee under the Indenture, or any banking institution serving as successor Trustee thereunder,

in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates as if it were not Trustee.

The Company will furnish to any Holder of the Securities of this series upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to: The Xxxxxx Group, Inc., 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000, Attention: Treasurer.
