for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”), which shall initially be the Trustee.
Section 2.05. Conversion Agent to Hold Shares in Trust. The Company shall require each
Conversion Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that
14
the Conversion Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Noteholders or the Trustee all
shares of Common Stock held by the Conversion Agent for the delivery of Common Stock when due upon
conversion, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such delivery.
While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Conversion Agent to deliver all shares
of Common Stock held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Conversion Agent
to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent
(if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the
Company or a Subsidiary acts as Conversion Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust
fund for the benefit of the Noteholders all shares held by it as Conversion Agent. If not already
serving in such capacity, upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the
Company, the Trustee shall serve as Conversion Agent for the Securities.
Section 2.06. Global Securities.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture
or the Notes, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance
with Section 305 of the Indenture and this Section 2.06. A Global Security may not be transferred,
in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depository or a nominee or any successor thereof,
and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that this clause (a)
shall not prohibit any transfer of a Note that is issued in exchange for a Global Security but is
not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a Note to any Person shall be effective under this
First Supplemental Indenture unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of such
Person.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture
or the Notes, a Global Security shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Note registered in
the name of any Person other than the Depository or one or more nominees thereof, provided that a
Global Security may be exchanged for Notes registered in the names of any Person designated by the
Depository in the event that (i) the Depository has notified the Company that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as depository for such Global Security or the Depository ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days, (ii) the Company by notice to the Trustee elects to issue the Notes in definitive
registered form in exchange for all or any part of the Notes represented by the Global Security or
(iii) there is or continues to be an Event of Default and the Registrar receives notice from the
Depository for the issuance of definitively registered Notes in exchange for the Global Security.
Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (a) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not
in part. Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global
Security; provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other
than the Depository or a nominee or successor thereof shall not be a Global Security.
15
(c) Notes issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be issued in
definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have a principal amount equal to
that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged and shall be registered in such
names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depository shall designate. Any Global
Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee or the
Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security
shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depository
or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced,
by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment
made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver the Note issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depository
or an authorized representative thereof.
(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(f) below, the registered Noteholder may grant
proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members (as defined below) and Persons
that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Noteholder is entitled to
take under this First Supplemental Indenture or the Notes.
(e) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.06(b) above,
the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes
in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.
(f) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depository (collectively, the “Agent
Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under
this First Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the
Depository or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the Depository or such
nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Noteholder of such Global Security for all
purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) prevent the Company or
the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or such nominee, as the
case may be, or (ii) impair, as between the Depository, its Agent Members and any other person on
whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons
governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Note.

Remedies and Defaults
Remedies and Defaults
Section 3.01. Additional Events of Default. Pursuant to Section 501 and Section 301(b)(15) of
the Indenture, in addition to the Events of Default set forth in the Indenture, the following
(without duplication to those set forth in the Indenture) shall constitute Events of Default with
respect to the Notes:
(a) failure to pay when due, upon conversion of the Notes, in accordance with the Indenture
and the First Supplemental Indenture, the Principal Return in cash, together with any cash in lieu
of fractional shares as required under Section 4.02, or to deliver when due the Net Shares, upon
conversion of a Notes, and such failure continues for 5 days; or
(b) a default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of any Note
on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01; or
(c) one or more judgments or orders that exceed $5 million in the aggregate (net of amounts
covered by insurance or bonded) for the payment of money have been entered by a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary and such judgment or
judgments have not been satisfied, stayed, annulled or rescinded within 60 days after such judgment
or judgments have become final and nonappealable; or
(d) any Event of Default shall have occurred in respect of the Company’s, or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness (including Indebtedness guaranteed by the Company or a
Significant Subsidiary but excluding any Indebtedness that expressly provides that such
Indebtedness is junior or subordinated to the Notes), and, as a result, an aggregate principal
amount exceeding $5.0 million of such Indebtedness is accelerated prior to its scheduled maturity
and such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled within 30 days after the Company receives
written notice; or
(e) failure on the part of the Company to provide a written notice of a Fundamental Change in
accordance with Section 5.01.
Section 3.02. Failure To File Reports. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Indenture or this First Supplemental Indenture, to the extent elected by the Company as a remedy
pursuant to this Section 3.02 in the manner set forth under Section 3.03 below, the sole remedy for
an Event of Default set forth in the Indenture or this First Supplemental Indenture, above relating
to any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 703 of the Indenture or Section 314(a)(1)
of the Trust Indenture Act shall, for the first 120 days after the occurrence of such an Event of
Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive an extension fee on the Notes in an amount
equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Notes. If the Company so elects, the extension fee shall be payable
17
on all outstanding Notes on the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the
reporting obligations in the Indenture first occurs, which will be the 60th day after written
notice to the Company of the Company’s failure to so comply as described under Section 501(a)(4) of
the Indenture. On the 120th day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to
the reporting obligations is not cured or waived prior to such 120th day), the Notes shall be
subject to acceleration as provided in this Article V of the Indenture. The provisions of this
Section 3.02 shall not affect the rights of Noteholders in the event of the occurrence of any other
Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the extension fee upon an Event of
Default in accordance with this Section 3.02, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as
provided in Article V of the Indenture.
Section 3.03. Extension Fee. In order to elect to pay the extension fee as the sole remedy
during the first 120 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the failure to
comply with the reporting obligations in the Indenture in accordance with Section 3.02, the Company
must notify all Noteholders and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the
close of business on the date on which such Event of Default occurs, which will be the 60th day
after written notice to the Company of its failure to so comply as described under Section 3.02
above.
ARTICLE 4
Conversion of Notes
Conversion of Notes
Section 4.01. Conversion Privilege.
(a) At any time prior to July 1, 2014, subject to the conditions described below, and upon
compliance with the provisions of this Article 4, a Noteholder shall have the right, at such
holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal
amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note into cash and fully paid shares of Common
Stock, if any, based on a rate (the “Conversion
Rate”) of 21.3067 shares of Common Stock (subject to
adjustment as provided in this First Supplemental Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount Note (the
“Conversion Obligation”) under the circumstances set forth below. In addition, on or after July 1,
2014, a Noteholder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if
the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such
Note, at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding
the maturity date, into cash and fully paid shares of Common Stock, if any, regardless of the
conditions described below.
(i) Prior to July 1, 2014, the Notes shall be convertible during any fiscal quarter
of the Company (a “Fiscal Quarter”)(and only during such Fiscal Quarter) after the quarter
ending December 31, 2007, if the
Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for each of at least 20 Trading
18
Days in the 30 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding
Fiscal Quarter was greater than or equal to 120% of the Conversion Price in effect on such
30th Trading Day.
(ii) Prior to July 1, 2014, the Notes shall be convertible during the five Business
Day period immediately after any five consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement
Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading
day of such Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price
on such date and the Conversion Rate on such date, all as determined by the Trustee, as
provided below. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Trading
Price of the Notes unless requested by the Company to do so in writing, and the Company
shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Noteholder of at least $1,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the
Trading Price of the Notes would be less than 98% of the product of (a) the
then-applicable Conversion Rate of the Notes and (b) the Closing Sale Price at such time,
at which time the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the
Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the
Trading Price per Note is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of (a) the
then-applicable Conversion Rate of the Notes and (b) the Closing Sale Price on such date.
(iii) The Notes shall also be convertible as provided in Section 4.01(b), Section
4.01(c), and Section 4.01(d).
(b) In the event that the Company elects to:
(i) distribute to all holders of Common Stock rights entitling them to purchase, for
a period expiring within 60 days after the record date for such distribution, Common Stock
at a price less than the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for the Trading Day
immediately preceding the announcement of such distribution; or
(ii) distribute to all holders of Common Stock, assets or debt securities of the
Company or rights to purchase the Company’s securities, which distribution has a per share
value (as determined by the Board of Directors) exceeding 5% of the Closing Sale Price of
the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of declaration of such
distribution,
then, in each case, the Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time on and after the date
that the Company gives notice to the holders of such right, which shall be not less than 25
Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, until the earlier of
the close of business on the Business
Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date or the date the Company
19
announces that such
distribution will not take place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Notes will not be convertible
pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above if the Company provides that Noteholders shall participate in
such distribution without conversion.
(c) In the event that the Company is a party to a transaction or event (including, without
limitation, any consolidation, merger or binding share exchange) pursuant to which all shares of
the Common Stock would be converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, a
Noteholder may surrender Notes for conversion at any time from and after the date that is 20 days
prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction until 20 days after the actual effective
date of such transaction (or, if such transaction or event also constitutes a Fundamental Change,
until the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date), unless such transaction constitutes a Make-Whole
Change of Control (in which case the Notes will instead be convertible in accordance with Section
4.01(d) below). The Company shall notify Noteholders and the Trustee (whether or not such
transaction also constitutes a Make-Whole Change of Control) at the same time the Company publicly
announces such transaction (but in no event less than 20 days prior to the effective date of such
transaction). Following the effective date of such transaction, the right to convert the Notes at
the Conversion Rate, and the settlement thereof, shall be modified as set forth under Section 4.05.
(d) (i) In the event that a Make-Whole Change of Control occurs on or prior to the
maturity date, a Noteholder may surrender Notes for conversion at any time from and after
the date that is 25 Scheduled Trading Days before the anticipated effective date of such
Make-Whole Change of Control until the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company
shall give notice to all record Noteholders and the Trustee at least 25 Scheduled Trading
Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the Make-Whole Change of Control.
(ii) If a Noteholder elects to convert Notes (regardless of whether the other
conditions to conversion have been satisfied) at any time from and after the date that is
25 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction (in
the case of a Change of Control described in clause (iii) of the definition thereof) or
commencing on the actual effective date (in the case of a Change of Control described in
clause (i), (ii) and (iv) of the definition thereof) until 20 days after the actual
effective date of such Make-Whole Change of Control (the “Effective Date”), the Conversion
Rate applicable to each $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes shall be increased by
an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as described
below.
The number of Additional Shares to be added to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted
shall be determined by reference to the table attached
as Schedule A hereto, based on the related Conversion Date of such Notes and the
20
Applicable
Price; provided that if the actual Applicable Price is between two Applicable Price amounts in the
table or the Conversion Date is between two Conversion Dates in the table, the number of Additional
Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares
set forth for the next higher and next lower Applicable Price amounts and the two nearest
Conversion Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day or 366-day year; provided further that if the
Applicable Price is in excess of $120.00 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the
same manner as set forth in Section 4.03), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion
Rate; and provided that if the Applicable Price is less than
$34.51 per share (subject to
adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section 4.03), no Additional Shares will be added to
the Conversion Rate. In no event will Additional Shares be added to the Conversion Rate to cause
the Conversion Rate to exceed 28.9771 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to adjustment in
the same manner as set forth in Section 4.03).
The Applicable Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Schedule A hereto shall be
adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted. The adjusted
Applicable Prices shall equal the Applicable Prices in effect immediately prior to such adjustment,
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior
to the adjustment giving rise to the Applicable Price adjustment and the denominator of which is
the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares within the table shall be
adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 4.03 (other than by
operation of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate by adding Additional Shares).
Settlement of Notes tendered for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Change of Control
as provided in this subsection, shall be as follows:
(i) if the last day of the Conversion Period related to such Notes is prior to the
third Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the anticipated Effective Date, the
Company shall pay the Principal Return in cash (together with cash in lieu of fractional
shares) and deliver the Net Shares, if any, all determined in accordance with Section
4.02(b) below, on the third Business Day immediately following the last day of the
Conversion Period related to such Notes; provided that the calculation of such Principal
Return and Net Shares shall not include any Additional Shares to be added to the Conversion
Rate as set forth in this subsection. As soon as practicable following the Effective Date,
the Company shall deliver the increase in such amount of cash and, if applicable, the
Common Stock or Reference Property deliverable in lieu of the Common Stock, if any, as the
case may be, for such Notes as if the Conversion Rate had been increased by the number of
Additional Shares to be added to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this subsection. If such
increased amount results in an increase to the Principal Return (determined in accordance
with Section 4.02(b) below, but based on such increased Conversion Rate)
21
as compared
to the Principal Return calculated without such Additional Shares, the Company shall pay,
promptly following the Effective Date, such increase to the Principal Return in cash. In
addition, if such increased amount results in an increase to the number of Net Shares
(determined in accordance with Section 4.02(b), but based on such increased Conversion
Rate) as compared to the number of Net Shares calculated without such Additional Shares,
the Company shall deliver, promptly following the Effective Date, such increase to the
number of Net Shares (and pay, in lieu of any fractional shares, cash based on the Daily
VWAP of the Common Stock on the last day of the applicable Conversion Period). Any such Net
Shares delivered following the Effective Date shall be subject to Section 4.05. In no event
shall the Company pay such increase to the Principal Return, or deliver such increase to
the number of Net Shares or Reference Property deliverable in lieu of the Common Stock, if
any, if the Make-Whole Change of Control never becomes effective.
(ii) if the last day of the Conversion Period related to such Notes is on or after the
third Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the anticipated Effective Date, the
Company shall pay the Principal Return in cash (together with cash in lieu of fractional
shares) and deliver the Net Shares, if any, all in accordance with Section 4.02(b) below
(such determination, for the avoidance of doubt to include the number of Additional Shares
to be added to the Conversion Rate as set forth in this subsection), on the later to occur
of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the third Business Day immediately following the last day
of the applicable Conversion Period relating to such Notes. Any such Net Shares delivered
following the Effective Date shall be subject to Section 4.05.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the consideration for the Company’s Common Stock in
a Make-Whole Change of Control is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes
following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Change of Control, the conversion
obligation of the Company will be calculated based solely on the Applicable Price for the
transaction and will be deemed to be an amount equal to the applicable Conversion Rate
(including any adjustment) multiplied by such Applicable Price. In such event, the
Conversion Obligation will be determined and paid to Noteholders in cash on the third
Trading Day following surrender of the Notes for conversion.
Section 4.02. Conversion Procedure.
(a) Upon conversion of any Note, subject to this Section 4.02 and Section 4.01 and Section
4.05, the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation with respect to each $1,000 principal
amount of Notes in cash and shares of fully paid Common Stock, if applicable, by delivering, no
later than the third Trading Day immediately following the last day of the applicable
22
Conversion Period, the aggregate Daily Settlement Amount for each of the 20 VWAP Trading Days
during the Conversion Period for such Notes.
The “Daily Settlement Amount,” for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes and each of the 20
VWAP Trading Days in the Conversion Period for such Notes, shall consist of:
(i) cash in an amount equal to the lesser of $50 and the Daily Conversion Value
relating to such day (the sum of such cash amount for each of the 20 VWAP Trading Days,
the “Principal Return”);
(ii) to the extent the Daily Conversion Value exceeds $50, a number of shares of the
Common Stock equal to the excess of the Daily Conversion Value over $50, divided by the
Daily VWAP of the Common Stock (or the Reference Property) on that VWAP Trading Day (the
sum of such shares for each of the 20 VWAP Trading Days, the “Net Shares”); and
(iii) The Company shall pay an amount in cash, in lieu of any fractional shares of
Common Stock issuable in connection with payment of the Net Shares based upon the Daily
VWAP per share of the Common Stock on the last day of the applicable Conversion Period.
The Daily Conversion Value and the Daily Settlement Amount shall be determined by the Company
promptly following the last day of the Conversion Period.
(b) Before any holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert the same as set forth above, such
holder shall (1) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depository in
effect at that time and furnish appropriate endorsement and transfer documents, and (2) in the case
of a Note issued in certificated form, surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in
blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the
Conversion Agent, and give irrevocable written notice to the Conversion Agent in the form on the
reverse of such certificated Note (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at said
office or place that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state in writing therein the
principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such
holder wishes the certificate or certificates for the Net Shares, if any, included upon settlement
the Conversion Obligation, if any, to be registered. No Notice of Conversion with respect to any
Notes may be tendered by a holder thereof if such holder has also tendered a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance
with Section 5.02.
If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the
Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes, if any,
23
that shall be payable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so
surrendered.
(c) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business
on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the holder has complied with the requirements set forth in
clause (b). Except as provided in Section 4.01(d), payment of the cash and Net Shares, if any, in
satisfaction of the Conversion Obligation shall be made by the Company in no event later than the
third Business Day following the last day of the Conversion Period (the “Conversion Settlement
Date”) by paying in cash the Principal Return (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares)
to the holder of a Note surrendered for conversion, or such holder’s nominee or nominees, and
issue, or cause to be issued, and deliver to the Conversion Agent or to such holder, or such
holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depository for the
number of full shares of Common Stock equal to the Net Shares, if any, to which such holder shall
be entitled as part of such Conversion Obligation.
(d) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder of the
Note so surrendered, without charge to such holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Notes.
(e) If a holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay all stamp and other
duties, if any, which may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or
taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock, if any,
upon the conversion. However, the holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the holder
requests any Net Shares to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name. The Trustee may refuse
to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other
than the holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due
because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name. Nothing herein shall
preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations.
(f) Except as provided in Section 4.03, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any
shares issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article.
(g) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the
direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the
principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
24
(h) (i) Noteholders at the close of business on a 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 such record date. Notes surrendered for conversion during
the period from the close of business on any record date to the opening of business on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the
interest that the holder is to receive on the Notes; provided, however, that no such payment need
be made (1) with respect to any conversion following the record date immediately preceding the
maturity date, (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date following a
Fundamental Change that is after a record date but on or prior to the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date or (3) if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such
Note, only to the extent of such overdue interest. Except as described above, no payment or
adjustment will be made for accrued interest on converted Notes.
(ii) The Person in whose name the certificate for shares of Common Stock is
registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record on and after the Conversion Date;
provided, however, that no surrender of Notes on any date when the stock transfer books of
the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons
entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder
or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be
effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common
Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on
the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; such conversion shall
be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date that such Notes shall have been
surrendered for conversion, as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been
closed. Upon conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Noteholder.
Section 4.03. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time
to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders
of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision into a
greater number of shares of Common Stock or combination into a lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by
multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such
dividend, or the date on which such subdivision or combination becomes effective, as the case may
be, by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock that would
be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, such event; and
25
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date, or the date on which such
subdivision or combination becomes effective, as the case may be,
such increase to become effective immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such determination
or the date any such subdivision or combination becomes effective, as the case may be.
(b) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding
shares of Common Stock entitling them, for a period expiring within forty-five (45) days from the
date of issuance of such rights or warrants, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at
a price per share less than the average Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for the 10
consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such issuance is
announced, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined
by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such
distribution by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date plus the total number of additional shares of
Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase or issuable pursuant to such rights or
warrants, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date plus the quotient obtained by
dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants, by (y) the
average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days
prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date.
Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and
shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such
distribution. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of
such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would
then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made
on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such
rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if no adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to
this Section 4.03(a) had been made.
(c) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its
Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock as
covered by Section 4.03(a)) or evidences of its
26
indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding dividends and
distributions covered by Section 4.03(b), Section 4.03(d) or Section 4.03(e)) (any of such shares
of Capital Stock, indebtedness, cash or other property hereinafter in this Section 4.03(c)) called
the “Distributed Property”)), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be increased so
that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date relating to any such distribution of Distributed Property
by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such Ex-Dividend
Date; and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such Ex-Dividend
Date less the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of
Directors) on the Ex-Dividend Date of the portion of the Distributed Property so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock,
such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend
Date; provided that if the then Fair Market Value (as so determined) of the portion of the
Distributed Property so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater
than the Current Market Price on the Ex-Dividend Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment,
adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive, for each
$1,000 principal amount of Notes upon conversion, the amount of Distributed Property such holder
would have received had such holder owned an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to the
Conversion Rate on the date immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date. If such dividend or
distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been
declared. If the Board of Directors determines the Fair Market Value of any distribution for
purposes of this Section 4.03(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any
securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in
computing the Current Market Price on the applicable Ex-Dividend Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Distributed Property distributed by the Company to all
holders of its Common Stock consists of Capital Stock of, or similar equity interests in, a
Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company that are, or, when issued, will be, traded on a
U.S. securities exchange, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall be equal to
the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect on the tenth Trading Day
immediately following the third Trading Day after the date on which “ex-distribution trading”
commences for such dividend or distribution on The New York Stock Exchange or such other national
or regional exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted by a fraction,
27
(i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the average of the Closing Sale
Prices of the Capital Stock or equity interest applicable to one share of Common Stock for
the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the third Trading Day after
the date on which “ex-distribution trading” commences for such dividend or distribution on
The New York Stock Exchange or such other national or regional exchange or market on which
the Common Stock is then listed or quoted plus (B) the average of the Closing Sale Prices
of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the
third Trading Day after the date on which “ex-distribution trading” commences for such
dividend or distribution on The New York Stock Exchange or such other national or regional
exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted; and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the
Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the third
Trading Day after the date on which “ex-distribution trading” commences for such dividend
or distribution on The New York Stock Exchange or such other national or regional exchange
or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted,
such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the date
“ex-distribution trading” commenced on The New York Stock Exchange or such other national or
regional exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.
Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the
holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (either
initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a
specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of
Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of
Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.03 (and
no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.03 will be required) until the occurrence
of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and 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 4.03(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or
warrants distributed prior to the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events,
upon the occurrence of which such rights 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 with respect to such rights or
warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by
any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution)
of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or
28
other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was
counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion
Rate under this Section 4.03 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall
all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate
shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or
Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share
redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such
rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders
of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights
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 and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of this Section 4.03(c), Section 4.03(a), and Section 4.03(b), any dividend or
distribution to which this Section 4.03(c) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock,
or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 4.03(b)
applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of
indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or
warrants to which Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b) applies (and any Conversion Rate adjustment
required by this Section 4.03(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made)
immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such
rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 4.03(a) and
Section 4.03(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except any
shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed outstanding
within the meaning of Section 4.03(a).
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute exclusively cash to all
holders of its Common Stock during any fiscal quarter then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by
multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such
dividend or distribution by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price on the Ex-Dividend Date;
and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price on the Ex-Dividend
Date minus the amount of cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock,
such adjustment to be effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend
Date; provided that if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common
Stock is equal to or greater than the Current
29
Market Price on the Ex-Dividend Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall
be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any
portion thereof) the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder owned a number
of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the date immediately preceding the
Ex-Dividend Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate
shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been declared.
For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 4.03(d), in the event of any
reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Notes become convertible into more
than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to
this Section 4.03(d), references in this Section to one share of Common Stock or to the Current
Market Price or Closing Sale Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to a unit
or to the price of a unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Stock into
which the Notes are then convertible equal to the numbers of shares of such class issued in respect
of one share of Common Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications.
(e) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any
portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the
expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of cash and any other consideration
per share of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value (as determined by the Board of Directors, and
described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that as of the last time (the “Expiration
Time”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be
amended) exceeds the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next
succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal
the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect on the Trading Day immediately
following such Expiration Time by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the Fair Market Value (determined
as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the
acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of
all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the
shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased
Shares”) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, after
giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such
tender offer or exchange offer, at the Expiration Time and the last reported sale price of
a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and
30
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding (including any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the last
reported sale price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the
Expiration Time,
such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
following the Expiration Time. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such
tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting
any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted
to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not
been made.
(f) In addition to those required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 4.03,
to the extent permitted by law and subject to applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the
Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of at least
20 days; to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to applicable rules of The New York
Stock Exchange, the Company from time to time may also increase the Conversion Rate by any amount
the Board of Directors deems advisable including such increases that would avoid or diminish any
income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any
dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such
for income tax purposes or would otherwise be in the best interests of the Company, which
determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the holder of each Note at his last address appearing
on the Security Register provided for in Section 305 of the Indenture a notice of the increase at
least fifteen days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice
shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.
(g) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 4 shall be made by the
Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a
share, as the case may be. No adjustment shall be made for the Company’s issuance of Common Stock
or convertible or exchangeable securities or rights to purchase Common Stock or convertible or
exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 4.03.
(h) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly
file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of
which it has knowledge is still in effect.
31
Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such
adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which
each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion
Rate to the holder of each Note at his last address appearing on the Security Register provided for
in Section 305 of the Indenture within twenty (20) days of the effective date of such adjustment.
Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
(i) In any case in which this Section 4.03 provides that an adjustment shall become effective
immediately preceding (1) an Ex-Dividend Date for an event, (2) the Ex-Dividend Date with respect
to a dividend or distribution pursuant to Section 4.03(a), (3) the Ex-Dividend Date with respect to
a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to Section 4.03(b), or (4) the Expiration Time, as
the case may be, for any tender or exchange offer pursuant to Section 4.03(e), (each an “Adjustment
Determination Date”), the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the applicable
Adjustment Event (as hereinafter defined) (x) issuing to the holder of any Note converted after
such Adjustment Determination Date and before the occurrence of such Adjustment Event, the
additional shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such conversion by reason of
the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such holder any amount in cash
in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 4.03. For purposes of this Section 4.03(i)(i), the term
“Adjustment Event” shall mean:
(i) in any case referred to in clause (1) hereof, the occurrence of such event,
(ii) in any case referred to in clause (2) hereof, the date any such dividend or
distribution is paid or made,
(iii) in any case referred to in clause (3) hereof, the date of expiration of such
rights or warrants, and
(iv) in any case referred to in clause (4) hereof, the date a sale or exchange of
Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes
irrevocable.
(j) For purposes of this Section 4.03, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares
issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in
the treasury of the Company.
32
(k) Notwithstanding any provision in the Indenture or this First Supplemental Indenture, the
Company shall not be required to make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate for any of the
transactions or events described in this Section 4.03 if the Company makes provision for the
Noteholders to participate in any such transaction or event without conversion of any Notes on a
basis and with notice that the Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate.
Section 4.04. Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights,
out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common
Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for
conversion.
Section 4.05. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of the
following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par
value to par value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation,
merger or combination of the Company with another Person, or (iii) any sale, lease, transfer or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety to any other Person, in each case as a result of which
the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities or other
property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof)(any such event a “Merger Event”),
then:
(a) the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute
with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in
force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is
then required to so comply) permitted under Section 6.01(a) providing for the conversion and
settlement of the Notes as set forth in this First Supplemental Indenture. Such supplemental
indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this Article. If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference
Property includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also
be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the
interests of the holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary
by reason of the foregoing, including, to the extent required by the Board of Directors, the
provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth in Article 5 herein.
In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 4.05,
the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the
reasons therefore, the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including
cash) that will constitute
33
the Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect
thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice
thereof to all Noteholders.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.02(a), and subject to the provisions of
Section 4.01, at the effective time of such Merger Event, (i) the right to convert each $1,000
principal amount of Notes will be changed to a right to convert such Note into the kind 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 (the “Reference
Property”) and (ii) the related Conversion Obligation shall be settled as set forth under clause
(c) below. For purposes of determining the constitution of Reference Property, the kind and amount
of consideration that a holder of Common Stock would have been entitled to in the case of
recapitalizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers of assets or
other transactions that cause the Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than
a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election)
will be deemed to be (i) the weighted average of the kinds and amounts of consideration received by
the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election or (ii) if no holders of the
Common Stock affirmatively make such an election, the kinds and amounts of consideration actually
received by such holders. The Company shall not become a party to any such transaction unless its
terms are consistent with the preceding. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of
a holder of Notes to convert its Notes into cash and shares of Common Stock, as set forth in
Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 prior to the effective date of any such Merger Event.
(c) If the Notes shall be deemed to be convertible into Reference Property as set forth above,
the related Conversion Obligation, with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered
for conversion after the effective date of any such Merger Event, shall be settled in cash and
units of Reference Property in accordance with Section 4.02 as follows:
(i) The Daily Conversion Value for each day of the Conversion Period shall be based
on the per unit value of the Reference Property on such day (including, subject to
4.01(d), any Additional Shares added to such Reference Property) as set forth in Section
4.02(a). Such per unit value shall be (A) for any shares of common stock that are included
in the Reference Property, as set forth in the definition of “Common Stock” as if such
shares were “Common Stock” using the procedures set forth in the definition of “Closing
Sale Price” in Section 1.02; (B) for any other property (other than cash) included in the
Reference Property, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or by a New York
Stock Exchange member firm selected by the Board of Directors and (C) for any cash, the
face amount of such cash.
34
(ii) The Company shall pay in cash the Principal Return as set forth in Section
4.02(a), and an amount of Reference Property (the “Net Reference Property Amount”)
determined in accordance with this clause (ii). The Net Reference Property Amount for each
$1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be the sum of, for each of the 20 VWAP Trading Days
in the Conversion Period for such Notes, an amount of units of Reference Property equal to
(1) any excess of (a) the Daily Conversion Value on such Trading Day (determined in the
same manner as set forth in Section 4.05(c)(i) above) over (b) $50, divided by (2) the per
unit value of such Reference Property on such Trading Day.
(d) Notwithstanding clause (c) above, if the Notes are tendered for conversion prior to the
effective date of any such Merger Event pursuant to Section 4.01(d) above, and the Company shall be
obligated to deliver any increase to the Daily Conversion Value in additional Net Shares following
the effective date of such Merger Event, such additional Net Shares shall be delivered in the kind
and amount of Reference Property as a holder of such additional Net Shares would have received in
such Merger Event.
(e) The Company shall cause notice of the execution of a supplemental indenture pursuant to
this Section 4.05 to be mailed to each Noteholder, at his address appearing on the Security
Register, within twenty (20) days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not
affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
(f) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
Section 4.06. Certain Covenants.
(a) The Company shall not take any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the
Conversion Rate below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes,
liens and changes with respect to the issue thereof.
(b) The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose
of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental
authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion,
the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, to the extent then permitted by
the rules and interpretations of the Commission (or any successor thereto), endeavor to secure such
registration or approval, as the case may be.
(c) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any
national securities exchange or automated quotation
35
system the Company will, if permitted and required by the rules of such exchange or automated
quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such
exchange or automated quotation system, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Notes.
Section 4.07. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not
at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Noteholder to determine the Conversion Rate
or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect
to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the
method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the
same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the
validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or
property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the
Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the
Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue,
transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or
property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any
of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be
under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any
supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 4.05 relating either to the kind or amount
of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Noteholders upon the
conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 4.05 or to any adjustment to
be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 4.07, may accept as
conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying
upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee
prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.
Section 4.08. Notice to Noteholders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:
(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common
Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.03; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to all of the holders of its Common
Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any
other rights or warrants; or
(c) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a
subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or
from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any
consolidation or
merger to which the
36
Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of
the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company;
the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each Noteholder at his
address appearing on the Security Register, provided for in Section 305 of the Indenture of this
Indenture, as promptly as possible but in any event at least twenty days prior to the applicable
date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken,
the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend,
distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become
effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record
shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or
validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
Section 4.09. Shareholder Rights Plans. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of
Notes pursuant to this Article 4 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if
any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such
legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any shareholder rights plan
adopted by the Company, as the same may be amended from time to time. If at the time of conversion,
however, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the
provisions of the applicable shareholder rights agreement so that the holders of the Notes would
not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Notes, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted as provided in Section 4.03(c).
ARTICLE 5
Repurchase of Notes at Option of Noteholders
Repurchase of Notes at Option of Noteholders
Section 5.01. Repurchase at Option of Noteholders Upon a Fundamental Change.
(a) If there shall occur a Fundamental Change at any time prior to maturity of the Notes, then
each Noteholder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase
all of such holder’s Notes for cash, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal
amount, on the date
37
(the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than
twenty (20) Business Days and not more than thirty five (35) Business Days after the date of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (as defined below) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but
excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”). If
such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a record date for the payment of interest and
on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company shall instead pay the principal
amount to the Noteholders, and pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable
on such Interest Payment Date to the holder of record of the Notes on the close of business on the
corresponding record date. Repurchases of Notes under this Section 5.01 shall be made, at the
option of the holder thereof, upon:
(i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a
holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form
set forth on the reverse of the Note prior to the close of business on the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date; and
(ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes to the Trustee (or other Paying
Agent appointed by the Company) at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in the Borough of
Manhattan, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the holder of the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 5.01 only if the Note so delivered to the
Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall conform in all respects to
the description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall
be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the holder promptly following
the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of the book-entry transfer or
delivery of the Note.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any holder delivering to the Trustee (or
other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated
by this Section 5.01 shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at
any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent
appointed by the Company) in accordance with Section 5.02 below.
38
The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company
of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal
thereof.
(b) On or before the fifteenth day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company
shall mail to all holders of record of the Notes a notice (the “Fundamental Change Notice”) of the
occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the holders
arising as a result thereof. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The Company shall also
deliver a copy of the Fundamental Change Notice to the Trustee and cause a copy of such Fundamental
Change Notice, or a summary of the information contained therein, to be published once in a
newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York. Concurrently with the mailing of any
Fundamental Change Notice, the Company shall issue a press release announcing such Fundamental
Change referred to in the Fundamental Change Notice, the form and content of which press release
shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The failure to issue any such press
release or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the Fundamental Change Notice or any
proceedings for the repurchase of any Note that any Noteholder may elect to have the Company
repurchase as provided in this Section 5.01.
Each Fundamental Change Notice shall specify the circumstances constituting the Fundamental
Change, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, that
the holder must exercise the repurchase right on or prior to the close of business on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Expiration Time”), that the holder
shall have the right to withdraw any Notes surrendered prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration
Time, a description of the procedure which a Noteholder must follow to exercise such repurchase
right and to withdraw any surrendered Notes, the place or places where the holder is to surrender
such holder’s Notes and the CUSIP number or numbers of the Notes (if then generally in use) and
include a form of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the
Noteholders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the
Notes pursuant to this Section 5.01.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company at the option of
the 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 Repurchase
Date.
Section 5.02. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
(a) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed
by the Company) in accordance
39
with the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on
the Business Day prior to the close of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date,
specifying:
(i) the name of the holder,
(ii) a statement that the holder is withdrawing its election to require us to
purchase its Notes,
(iii) the principal amount of the withdrawn Notes which must be an integral multiple
of $1,000,
(iv) if certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the withdrawn
Notes, and
(v) the principal amount, if any, that remains subject to the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice which must be an integral multiple of $1,000;
provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the notice must comply with
appropriate Depository Procedures.
Section 5.03. Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
(a) On or prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company will deposit with the
Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company or if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003 of the Indenture)
an amount of money sufficient to repurchase on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all of the
Notes to be repurchased on such date at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
provided that if such payment is to be made on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date it must be
received by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on
such date. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed
by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) prior to the
Fundamental Change Expiration Time will be made promptly after the later of (x) the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the holder has satisfied the conditions
in Section 5.01) and (y) the time of delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent
appointed by the Company) by the holder thereof in the manner required by Section 5.01) by mailing
checks for the amount payable to the holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in
the Security Register, provided, however, that payments to the Depository shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depository or its nominee. The
Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the
Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
40
(b) If the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to
repurchase on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all the Notes or portions thereof that are to
be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then on and after the Business Day
following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii)
interest will cease to accrue on such Notes, and (iii) all other rights of the holders of such
Notes will terminate, whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes
have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent, other than the right to receive the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price upon delivery of the Notes.

authorized by the resolutions of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee, at the Company’s expense,
may from time to time and at any time amend this First Supplemental Indenture or enter into an

this First Supplemental Indenture;
(d) to add or modify any provision of this First Supplemental Indenture (not expressly
addressed in this Section 6.01) which the Company and the Trustee may deem necessary or
desirable and which will not adversely affect the interests of holders of the Notes in any
material respect; or
(e) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein
or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture; provided that such
modification or amendment does not, in the good faith opinion of the Company’s Board of
Directors, adversely affect the interests of the holders of Notes in any material respect;
provided further that any amendment made solely to conform the provisions of this First
Supplemental Indenture to the “Description of the Notes” section of the Preliminary
Prospectus Supplement, dated October 3, 2007, the Final Prospectus Supplement, dated
October 4, 2007 and the accompanying Prospectus, dated November 23, 2005, in each case
relating
41
to the initial offering of the Notes, will not be deemed to adversely affect the
interests of the holders of the Notes.
Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the
execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee is hereby authorized to join
with the Company in the execution of any such amendment or supplemental indenture, to make any
further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the
conveyance, transfer and assignment of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be
obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any amendment or supplemental indenture which
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this First Supplemental Indenture or
otherwise.
Any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 6.01 may
be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Notes
at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 6.02.
Section 6.02. Amendments or Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. With the
consent (evidenced as provided in Section 104 of the Indenture) of the holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding (determined in
accordance with Section 104 of the Indenture), the Company, when authorized by the resolutions of
the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time amend this First
Supplemental Indenture or enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose
of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
First Supplemental Indenture or any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the Noteholders, provided, however, that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall:
(a) reduce the principal amount or any amount payable on repurchase or conversion of any Note;
(b) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect
to, or the conversion of, any Note;

adversely affect the conversion rights of holders of the Notes, including any change to the payment
of the Principal Return or delivery of the Net Shares;
in each case without the consent or affirmative vote of the holder of each outstanding Note
affected.
Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the Board Resolutions
authorizing the execution of any such amendment or
42
supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of
Noteholders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
amendment or supplemental indenture unless such amendment or supplemental indenture affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this First Supplemental Indenture or otherwise, in
which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such
amendment or supplemental indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Noteholders under this Section 6.02 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplemental indenture, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
Section 6.03. Effect of Amendments or Supplemental Indentures. Any amendment or supplemental
indenture executed pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6 shall comply with the Trust
Indenture Act, as then in effect, provided that this Section 6.03 shall not require such amendment
or supplemental indenture or the Trustee to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act prior to the
time such qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or the First
Supplemental Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, nor shall it constitute
any admission or acknowledgment by any party to such amendment or supplemental indenture that any
such qualification is required prior to the time such qualification is in fact required under the
terms of the Trust Indenture Act or the First Supplemental Indenture has been qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act. Upon the execution of any amendment or supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 6, this First Supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be
modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities under this First Supplemental Indenture of the Trustee, the
Company and the Noteholders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder
subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of
any such amendment or supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and
conditions of this First Supplemental Indenture for any and all purposes.
Section 6.04. Notation on Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
amendment or supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6 may bear a
notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such amendment or
supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as
to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this
First Supplemental Indenture contained in any such amendment or supplemental indenture may, at the
Company’s expense, be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee (or an
authenticating agent duly appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 611 of the Indenture) and
delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding, upon surrender of such Notes then
outstanding.
43
Section 6.05. Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to Be Furnished to Trustee. In
addition to the documents required by Section 102 of the Indenture, upon its request, the Trustee
shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any
supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto complies with the requirements of this Article 6.

3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014
3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014
This
Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company,
designated as its 3.75%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (herein called the “Notes”), limited to the aggregate principal
amount of $175,000,000 all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of
October 11, 2007 (herein called the “Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of October 11, 2007 (herein called the “First Supplemental Indenture”), and as
further amended and supplemented from time to time, between the Company and U.S. Bank National
Association (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the
Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to
certain conditions specified in the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture.
In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture,
shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on all
Notes may be declared, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with
the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture and the First Supplemental
Indenture.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture, the
Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
and the principal amount on the maturity date, as the case may be, to the holder who surrenders a
Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash
amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts.
The Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture contain provisions permitting the Company
and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, and in
other circumstances, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture and the First
Supplemental Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or the First
Supplemental Indenture or of any other supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights
of the holders of the Notes;
A-5
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall make any of the changes set forth in Section 902 of the Indenture or any of the changes set forth in Section
6.02 of the First Supplemental Indenture, without the consent of the holders of all Notes then
outstanding. It is also provided in the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture that, prior
to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Notes, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the
Notes waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture and the First Supplemental
Indenture and its consequences except as provided in the Indenture and the First Supplemental
Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in
the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such
holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in
exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon
this Note or such other Notes.
No reference herein to the Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture and no provision of
this Note or of the Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and
accrued and unpaid interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in
the lawful money herein prescribed.
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal
amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the
face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without
payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or exchange of Notes,
Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized
denominations.
Upon the occurrence of a “Fundamental Change,” the holder has the right, at such holder’s
option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in
principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date
at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes such holder elects to require the
Company to repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to but excluding the date fixed
for repurchase. The Company or, at the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall mail to
all holders of record of the Notes a notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and of the
repurchase right arising as a result thereof on or before the fifteenth day after the occurrence of
such Fundamental Change.
A-6
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture, the holder
hereof has the right, at its option, on and after July 1, 2014, or earlier upon the occurrence of
certain conditions specified in the First Supplemental Indenture and prior to the close of business on the business day immediately
preceding the maturity date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof which is $1,000 or an integral
multiple thereof, into cash and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock, in each case at a
Conversion Rate specified in the First Supplemental Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as
provided in the First Supplemental Indenture, upon surrender of this Note, together with a
conversion notice as provided in the First Supplemental Indenture and this Note, to the Company at
the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, or at the option of such holder, the Corporate Trust Office, and, unless the
shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as this Note, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the
holder or by his duly authorized attorney. The initial Conversion Rate shall be [•] shares for
each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon
any conversion, but an adjustment in cash will be paid to the holder, as provided in the First
Supplemental Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable
upon the surrender of any Note or Notes for conversion. No adjustment shall be made for dividends
or any shares issued upon conversion of such Note except as provided in the First Supplemental
Indenture.
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, a new Note or Notes of authorized
denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange
thereof, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture,
without charge except for any tax, assessments or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith.
The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and
any Note registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this
Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or
other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, for the
conversion hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any other
authenticating agent nor any Paying Agent nor any other Conversion Agent nor any Note registrar
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture
provides that following an event which, after notice or passage of time or both, would become a
Default, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company
such owners’ right to exchange such beneficial interest for Notes in
A-7
certificated form. All payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the extent of the sum or
sums paid, satisfy and discharge liability for monies payable on this Note.
No recourse for the payment of the principal of, or accrued and unpaid interest on this Note,
or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture
or any other indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any
indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee,
agent, officer, director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any
successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or 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.
Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture are
used herein as therein defined.
