this Section 2.06, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.
Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency
maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes
which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not
contemporaneously outstanding.
All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or
conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar or any
co-registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Noteholder thereof or his
attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be charged to the Noteholder for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Notes, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection therewith.

as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(b) Intentionally Omitted.
(c) Intentionally Omitted.
(d) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this instrument or under applicable law
with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and
when expressly required by, the terms of this instrument, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
9

otherwise required by law, all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form
(each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the
Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note, which does not
involve the issuance of a definitive Note, shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the
Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this First Supplemental Indenture (including the
restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

hereunder, provided that no such additional Notes may be issued unless fungible with the Notes
initially issued hereunder for United States federal income tax purposes. The Company may also
from time to time repurchase the Notes in open market purchases by tender at any price or by
private agreement without prior notice to Noteholders.
Section 2.08 No Sinking Fund. The provisions of Article Twelve of the Base Indenture shall
not be applicable to the Notes. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
Section 2.09 Ranking. The Notes constitute a senior general obligation of the Company,
ranking equally with other existing and future senior and unsubordinated indebtedness of the
Company and ranking senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of the Company that is
expressly made subordinate to the Notes by the terms of such indebtedness.
ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION
Section 3.01 Right to Redeem.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Base Indenture, as modified by this First
Supplemental Indenture, to the contrary, the Company may redeem the Notes prior to April 1, 2037,
in whole, in order to preserve Parent’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code.

5, 2012. On or after April 5, 2012, the Company, at its option, may redeem the Notes from time to
time in whole or in part.
(c) Any redemption of Notes shall be at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest; provided, however, that the
Company may deduct and withhold from such Redemption Price any amount required to be deducted and
withheld under applicable law.
Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to be Redeemed.
10
(a) The provisions of Section 1103 of the Base Indenture shall govern the selection of Notes
to be redeemed by the Trustee provided, however, that if less than all of the Notes are to be
redeemed, the Trustee shall make the selection from the Notes of that series Outstanding and not
previously called for redemption, by lot, or in its discretion, on a pro rata basis.
(b) If any Note selected for partial redemption is exchanged in part before termination of the
exchange right with respect to the portion of the Note so selected, the exchanged portion of such
Note shall be deemed to be part of the portion selected for redemption. Notes which have been
exchanged subsequent to the Trustee commencing selection of Notes to be redeemed but prior to
redemption of such Notes shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such
selection.
Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. The provisions of Section 1104 of the Base Indenture
shall govern notices of redemption of the Notes; provided, however, that in addition to the
information specified in Section 1104 of the Base Indenture, notices of redemption of the Notes
shall also state:
(a) the then-current Exchange Price;
(b) the name and address of the Exchange Agent;
(c) that Holders who wish to exchange Notes must surrender such Notes for exchange no later
than the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date and

for redemption that are surrendered for exchange in cash, shares of Common Stock or both as
provided herein; provided that the Company may not provide notice of a redemption of Notes at the
Company’s option that specifies that the Company will settle exchanges of Notes prior to such
redemption in cash and shares of Common Stock unless, at the time of such notice, the Company has
available to it a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to satisfy its Exchange
Obligation in respect of the Notes to be redeemed.
ARTICLE IV
PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
Section 4.01 Payment of Principal and Interest.
(a) Sections 307 and 1001 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes; provided, however,
that, with respect to any Noteholder with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $1,000,000, at
the application of such Holder in writing to the Security Registrar not later than the relevant
record date, accrued and unpaid interest on such Holder’s Notes shall be paid by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to such Holder’s account in the United States supplied by such Holder
from time to time to the Trustee and Paying Agent (if different from Trustee); provided further
that payment of accrued and unpaid interest made to the
11
Depositary shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds in accordance with
such wire transfer instructions and other procedures provided by the Depositary from time to time.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.01(b), a Holder of any Notes at the close
of business on a Record Date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Notes on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date. A Holder of any Notes as of a Record Date that are exchanged
after the close of business on such Record Date and prior to the opening of business on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive interest on the principal amount
of such Notes, notwithstanding the exchange of such Notes prior to such Interest Payment Date.
However, a Holder that surrenders any Notes for exchange between the close of business on a Record
Date and the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be required to
pay the Company an amount equal to the interest payable by the Company with respect to such Notes
on such Interest Payment Date at the time such Holder surrenders such Notes for exchange, provided,
however, that this sentence shall not apply to a Holder that exchanges Notes:
(i) in respect of which the Company has given notice of redemption pursuant to Section
3.03 on a Redemption Date that is after the relevant Record Date and on or prior to the
relevant Interest Payment Date; or
(ii) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time
of exchange with respect to such Notes;
(iii) in connection with a Fundamental Change in which the Company has specified a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the next
Interest Payment Date; or
(iv) after the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
Accordingly, a Holder that exchanges Notes under any of the circumstances described in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv) above will not be required to pay to the Company an amount equal to the
interest payable by the Company with respect to such Notes on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency for Exchange Agent. If at any time the
Exchange Agent is not the Trustee or an office or agency designated or appointed by the Trustee,
the Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location of such Exchange
Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain an office or agency for the Exchange
Agent, presentations, surrenders, notices and demands related to exchanges of Notes may be made
or served at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency of the Trustee in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York.

Notes.

EXCHANGE OF NOTES
Section 8.01 Exchange Privilege.
(a) Subject to the conditions described in clauses (b) through (f) below and to Section 8.11
hereof, and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article VIII, a Holder of Notes shall have
the right, at such Holder’s option, to exchange all or any portion (if the portion to be exchanged
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 February 1, 2012 at a rate
(the “Exchange Rate”) of 5.8752 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment by the
Company as provided in Section 8.04) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Exchange
Obligation”) under the circumstances and during the periods set forth below. On and after
February 1, 2012, regardless of the conditions described in clause (b) through (f) below, upon
compliance with the provisions of this Article VIII and subject to Section 8.11 hereof, a
Noteholder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to exchange all or any portion (if the
portion to be exchanged 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 at an Exchange Rate of 5.8752 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment by the
Company as provided in Section 8.04) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
(b) (1) A Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to exchange its Notes
prior to February 1, 2012, during the five Business Day period immediately after any ten
consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per
$1,000 principal amount of Notes for each day of such Measurement Period was less than 98% of the
product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such date and the Exchange Rate on
such date, all as determined by the Trustee in the manner described in the immediately succeeding
paragraph. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the
14
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 or Noteholders of at
least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes provides the Company with reasonable evidence
that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes would be less than 98% of the
product of the Last Reported Sale Price at such time and the then-applicable Exchange Rate, at
which time the Company shall select three independent nationally recognized securities dealers
(each, an “Independent Securities Dealer”), request that the Independent Securities Dealers
provide a secondary market quotation for the Notes and provide such determination to the Company
and the Trustee in writing, and the Company shall instruct the Independent Securities Dealers to
provide a secondary market quotation for the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each
successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes is greater
than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price on such date and the
then-applicable Exchange Rate. If the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the
Company shall so notify the Noteholders. If at any time after the Trading Price condition set
forth above has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than
98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price on such date and the then-applicable Exchange
Rate, the Company shall so notify the Noteholders.
(2) Any request by the Company to the Trustee for a determination of the Trading Price
and whether the Trading Price condition set forth in the first sentence of the immediately
preceding paragraph has been met shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate setting
forth, for each day of determination (as identified in such Certificate), the name of the
Independent Securities Dealers providing the secondary market bid quotations, a statement
certifying that that such dealers are “Independent Securities Dealers” as required in this
Section 8.01, the secondary market bid quotations obtained from such Independent Securities
Dealers (a copy of which will be attached to such Officers’ Certificate), the Company’s
calculation of the Trading Price for such date. The Trustee shall be entitled to
conclusively rely, without independent verification, on the quotations provided by the
Company in making its determinations hereunder. On the basis of such quotations, the
Trustee shall determine the Trading Price of the Notes, and provide such determination to
the Company. Absent manifest error, the Trustee’s determination of the Trading Price will be
binding on the Company. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received a request from the Company for determination of the Trading Price for the Notes and
the Officers’ Certificate contemplated herein, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make
any determination of the Trading Price of the Notes or whether the Trading Price condition
has been met.
(c) A Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to exchange Notes during
any calendar quarter after the quarter ended June 30, 2011, and only during such calendar quarter,
if the Last Reported Sale Price for the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days during the period
of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the previous calendar quarter
exceeds 130% of the Exchange Price (the “Exchange Trigger Price”) on such last Trading Day,
which Exchange Price shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with this Article VIII. The
Exchange Agent shall, on the Company’s behalf, determine at the beginning of each calendar quarter
whether the Notes are exchangeable as a result of the price of the Common Stock as contemplated in
the previous sentence and notify the Company and the Trustee.
15
(d) In the event that the Company has delivered a notice of redemption in accordance with
Section 1104 of the Base Indenture and Section 3.03 of this First Supplemental Indenture to the
Holders of Notes, a Holder of Notes may exchange Notes at any time prior to the close of business
on the second Business Day immediately preceding the corresponding Redemption Date; provided,
however, that a Holder who has already delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with
respect to a Note may not exchange such Note until the Holder has withdrawn the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of the Note and this First Supplemental Indenture.
(e) (i) In the event that the Company or Parent elects to:
(A) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock rights entitling
them to purchase, for a period expiring within 60 days, shares of Common Stock at a price
less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately
preceding the declaration date of such distribution; or
(B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock assets or
debt securities of the Company or Parent or rights to purchase the Company’s or Parent’s
securities, which distribution has a per share value (as determined by the Board of
Directors) exceeding 15% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the day
immediately preceding the date of declaration of such distribution,
then, in either case, Holders may surrender the Notes for exchange at any time on and after the
date that the Company provides notice to Holders referred to in the next sentence until the earlier
of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such
distribution or the date the Company announces that such distribution will not take place. The
Company shall notify Holders of any distribution referred to in either clause (A) or clause (B)
above and of the resulting exchange right no later than the 35th Business Day prior to the
Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
(ii) If the Company is a party to any transaction or event that constitutes a
Fundamental Change, a Holder may surrender Notes for exchange at any time from and
after the 30th scheduled Trading Day prior to the anticipated Effective Date of such
transaction or event until the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and, upon
such surrender, the Holder shall be entitled to the increase in the Exchange Rate,
if any, specified in Section 8.01(g). The Company shall give notice to all record
Noteholders and the Trustee and issue a press release of the Fundamental Change no
later than 30 scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date of the
Fundamental Change.
(iii) If Parent is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange
or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of its properties and assets, in
each case pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock would be exchanged into cash,
securities and/or other property, then the Holders shall have the right to exchange
Notes at any time beginning fifteen calendar days prior to the date announced by the
Company as the anticipated effective date of the transaction and until and including
the date that is fifteen calendar days after the
16
date that is the effective date of such transaction; provided such transaction
does not otherwise constitute a Fundamental Change to which the provisions of
Section 8.01(e)(ii) shall apply. The Company shall give notice to all record
Noteholders and the Trustee and issue a press release at least 20 calendar days
prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction. If the Board of
Directors determines the anticipated effective date of the transaction, such
determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders.
(f) The Notes shall be exchangeable at any time beginning on the first Business Day after any
30 consecutive Trading Day period during which the Common Stock is not listed on a United States
national securities exchange.
(g) (i) If a Noteholder elects to exchange Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change that
occurs prior to April 5, 2012, the Exchange Rate applicable to each $1,000 principal amount of
Notes so exchanged shall be increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the
“Additional Shares”) as described below. Settlement of Notes tendered for exchange to which
Additional Shares shall be added to the Exchange Rate as provided in this subsection shall be
settled pursuant to Section 8.02 below, as applicable. For purposes of this Section 8.01(g), an
exchange shall be deemed to be “in connection with” a Fundamental Change to the extent that the
related exchange notice is delivered during the time period beginning on the 30th Trading Day prior
to the anticipated Effective Date of such Fundamental Change and ending on the related Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date, inclusive (regardless of whether the provisions of clauses (b), (c), (d),
(e) or (f) of this Section 8.01 shall apply to such exchange). Such exchange notice shall indicate
that the Holder of Notes has elected to exchange Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change;
provided, however, that the failure to so indicate shall not in any way affect the Exchange
Obligation or the right of such Holder to receive Additional Shares in connection with such
exchange.
(ii) The number of Additional Shares by which the Exchange Rate will be increased shall
be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on
which the Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), and
the Stock Price; provided, that if the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in the
table or the Effective Date is between two Effective 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 Stock Price amounts and the
two nearest Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; provided further that
if (1) the Stock Price is greater than $380.82 per share of Common Stock (subject to
adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section 8.04), no Additional Shares will be
added to the Exchange Rate, and (2) the Stock Price is less than $142.97 per share of Common
Stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section 8.04), no Additional
Shares will be added to the Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will
the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange exceed 7.0410 per $1,000
principal amount of Notes (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section
8.04).
(iii) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Schedule A hereto
shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Exchange Rate of the Notes is adjusted.
17
The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to
such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exchange Rate in
effect immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the
denominator of which is the Exchange Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares
within the table shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Exchange Rate as set forth in
Section 8.04 (other than by operation of an adjustment to the Exchange Rate by adding
Additional Shares).
Section 8.02 Exchange Procedures.
(a) (1) The Company shall settle its Exchange Obligations as described in Section 8.02(a)(3),
unless, within the applicable time period specified in this Section 8.02(a)(1), the Company elects
to settle its Exchange Obligations as described in Section 8.02(a)(2) or Section 8.02(a)(4). The
cash and/or shares of Common Stock which the Company is required to deliver in accordance with this
Section 8.02 in settlement of its Exchange Obligations is referred to herein as the “Settlement
Amount.” If the Company desires to settle its Exchange Obligations as described in Section
8.02(a)(2) or Section 8.02(a)(4), the Company shall notify each exchanging Noteholder by notice to
the Trustee (for further distribution to Noteholders) of the method the Company will choose to
satisfy its Exchange Obligations no later than the second Trading Day immediately following the
Company’s receipt of a Notice of Exchange from such Holder, and such notice shall specify the
section of this First Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which the Company is electing to satisfy
its exchange obligations; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to irrevocably
elect, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Noteholders, by notice to the Trustee (for
further distribution to Noteholders), on or prior to February 1, 2012, to settle all of its future
Exchange Obligations entirely in shares of Common Stock as described in Section 8.02(a)(2), and
provided further, that the Company is required to settle all exchanges with an Exchange Date
occurring on or after February 1, 2012 in the same manner, and the Company shall notify Noteholders
by notice to the Trustee (for further distribution to Noteholders) of the manner of settlement
(including specifying the applicable section of this First Supplemental Indenture that describes
such manner of settlement) on or before such date. The Company shall treat all Noteholders
exchanging on the same Trading Day in the same manner; however, the Company shall not have any
obligation to settle its Exchange Obligations arising on different Trading Days in the same manner,
except for exchanges with an Exchange Date occurring on or after February 1, 2012, which shall all
be satisfied in the same manner.
(2) If the Company has elected, within the applicable time periods specified in Section
8.02(a)(1), to settle its Exchange Obligations as described in this Section 8.02(a)(2), the
Company shall have the right to settle its Exchange Obligations entirely in shares of Common
Stock. If the Company elects to satisfy its Exchange Obligation entirely in shares of
Common Stock, the Company shall deliver a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the
aggregate principal amount of Notes to be exchanged divided by $1,000, multiplied by (ii)
the applicable Exchange Rate (which shall include any increases to reflect any Additional
Shares that such Holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 8.01(g) above). The
Company shall deliver such shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable after it has
notified the exchanging Holder, pursuant to
18
Section 8.02(a)(1) above, that it has elected to satisfy its Exchange Obligation
entirely in shares of Common Stock.
(3) If the Company does not elect, within the applicable time periods specified in
Section 8.02(a)(1), to settle its Exchange Obligations as described in Section 8.02(a)(2) or
8.02(a)(4), the Company shall settle its Exchange Obligations as described in this Section
8.02(a)(3), subject to Section 8.02(b) hereof. The Company shall deliver in respect of each
$1,000 principal amount of Notes being exchanged a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the
Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the Observation
Period, on the third Trading Day immediately following the last day of the related
Observation Period; provided that the Company will deliver cash in lieu of fractional shares
of Common Stock as set forth pursuant to clause (k) below. The Daily Settlement Amounts
shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Observation
Period.
(4) If the Company has elected, within the applicable time periods specified in Section
8.02(a)(1), to settle its Exchange Obligations as described in this Section 8.02(a)(4), the
Company shall have the right to settle all or a portion of the amount by which the Daily
Exchange Value exceeds $50 in cash in accordance with this Section 8.02(a)(4). In such
case, the Company shall specify a percentage of the amount by which the Daily Exchange Value
exceeds $50 that will be settled in cash, or the “cash percentage.” The Company
will inform exchanging Holders by notice to the Trustee (for further distribution to
Noteholders) no later than two Trading Days prior to the first day of the applicable
Observation Period if it elects to pay cash upon exchange of the Notes and shall specify in
such notice (the “cash percentage notice”) the applicable cash percentage. If the
Company elects to specify a cash percentage, the amount of cash that the Company shall
deliver in respect of each Trading Day in the applicable Observation Period shall equal the
product of (w) the cash percentage and (x) the amount by which the Daily Exchange Value
exceeds $50 for such Trading Day. The number of shares of Common Stock deliverable in
respect of each Trading Day in the applicable Observation Period shall equal (i) the product
of (y) 100% minus the cash percentage and (z) the amount by which the Daily Exchange Value
exceeds $50 for such Trading Day, divided by (ii) the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock for
such Trading Day. If the Company does not specify a cash percentage, it must settle the
entire amount by which the Daily Exchange Value exceeds $50 with shares of Common Stock
pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(3) above; provided, however, that the Company will deliver cash
in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock as set forth pursuant to clause (k) below. If
the Company specifies a cash percentage, the Company shall satisfy its Exchange Obligation
by delivering, on the third Trading Day immediately following the last day of the related
Observation Period, the amount of cash and the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable
pursuant to this Section 8.02(a)(4).
(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.02(a), the Company shall satisfy the Exchange Obligation with
respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered for exchange to which Additional Shares
shall be added to the Exchange Rate as set forth in Section 8.01(g) pursuant to this clause (b).
19
(1) If the last day of the applicable Observation Period related to Notes surrendered
for exchange is prior to the third Trading Day preceding the Effective Date of the
Fundamental Change, the Company will satisfy the related Exchange Obligation with respect to
each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered for exchange as described in Section 8.01(a)
by delivering the amount of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any (based on the Exchange
Rate, but without regard to the number of Additional Shares to be added to the Exchange Rate
pursuant to Section 8.01(g)) on the third Trading Day immediately following the last day of
the applicable Observation Period. In addition, as soon as practicable following the
Effective Date of the Fundamental Change, the Company will deliver the increase in such
amount of cash and Reference Property deliverable in lieu of shares of Common Stock, if any,
as if the Exchange Rate had been increased by such number of Additional Shares during the
related Observation Period (and based upon the related Daily VWAP prices during such
Observation Period). If such increased amount of cash and Common Stock, if any, results in
an increase to the amount of cash to be paid to Holders, the Company will pay such increase
in cash, and if such increased amount results in an increase to the number of shares of
Common Stock, the Company will deliver such increase by delivering Reference Property based
on such increased number of shares.
(2) If the last day of the applicable Observation Period related to Notes surrendered
for exchange is on or following the third scheduled Trading Day preceding the Effective Date
of such Fundamental Change, the Company will satisfy the Exchange Obligation with respect to
each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered for exchange as described in Section 8.01(a)
(based on the Exchange Rate as increased by the Additional Shares pursuant to Section
8.01(g) above) on the later to occur of (x) the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change and
(y) the third Trading Day immediately following the last day of the applicable Observation
Period.
(c) Before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to exchange the same as set forth above,
such Holder shall (1) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in
effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest
Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 4.01(b) and Section
8.02(i) and, if required, pay all taxes or duties, if any, and (2) in the case of a Note issued in
certificated form, (A) complete and manually sign and deliver an irrevocable written notice to the
Exchange Agent in the form on the reverse of such certificated Note (or a facsimile thereof) (a
“Notice of Exchange”) at the office of the Exchange Agent and shall state in writing
therein the principal amount of Notes to be exchanged and the name or names (with addresses) in
which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock, if any, to
be delivered upon settlement of the Exchange Obligation to be registered, (B) surrender such Notes,
duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer
documents), at the office of the Exchange Agent, (C) if required, pay funds equal to interest
payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in
Section 4.01(b) and Section 8.02(i), and (D) if required, pay all taxes or duties, if any. A Note
shall be deemed to have been exchanged immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the
“Exchange Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in this
Section 8.02(c).
20
No Notice of Exchange with respect to any Notes may be tendered by a Holder thereof if such
Holder has also tendered a Put Right Repurchase Notice or a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
and not validly withdrawn such Put Right Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 9.01 or 9.02, as the case may be.
If more than one Note shall be surrendered for exchange at one time by the same Holder, the
Exchange Obligation with respect to such Notes, if any, that shall be payable upon exchange 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.
(d) Delivery of the amounts owing in satisfaction of the Exchange Obligation shall be made by
the Company in no event later than the date specified in Section 8.02(a), except to the extent
specified in Section 8.02(b). The Company shall make such delivery by paying the cash amount owed
to the Exchange Agent or to the Holder of the Note surrendered for exchange, or such Holder’s
nominee or nominees, and by issuing, or causing to be issued, and delivering to the Exchange Agent
or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer
through the Depositary for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be
entitled as part of such Exchange Obligation (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares).
(e) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial exchange, 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 unexchanged portion of the surrendered Notes.
(f) If a Holder submits a Note for exchange, 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 exchange. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax that is due because the Holder requests
any shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Exchange Agent
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.
(g) Except as provided in Section 8.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any
shares issued upon the exchange of any Note as provided in this Article.
(h) Upon the exchange 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
exchange of Notes effected through any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee.
21
(i) Upon exchange, a Noteholder will not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and
unpaid interest, except as set forth below. The Company’s settlement of its Exchange Obligation as
described above shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note
and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Exchange Date. As a result, accrued and
unpaid interest to, but not including, the Exchange Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather
than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Notes are
exchanged after the close of business on a Record Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of
business on the Record Date will receive the interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding
Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the exchange. Notes surrendered for exchange during the
period from the close of business on any regular 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 payable on the Notes so exchanged; provided, however, that no such payment need be made
(1) if the Company has called the Notes for redemption or (2) to the extent of any overdue interest
existing at the time of exchange with respect to such Note, (3) to Notes surrendered for exchange
in connection with a Fundamental Change in which the Company has specified a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date, or
(4) to Notes surrendered for exchange after the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity
Date. Except as described above, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on
exchanged Notes.
(j) The Person in whose name the certificate for any shares of Common Stock issued upon
exchange is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record on and after the Exchange 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 exchange 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 exchange shall be at the Exchange Rate in effect on the date that such Notes shall
have been surrendered for exchange, as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been
closed. Upon exchange of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Noteholder.
(k) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon exchange of any Note or Notes.
If more than one Note shall be surrendered for exchange at one time by the same Holder, the number
of full shares that shall be issued upon exchange thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of
any fractional share of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued upon exchange of any Note or
Notes (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such
fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction
of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the last day of the applicable Observation
Period.

Section 8.04 Adjustment of Exchange Rate. The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted from time to
time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Parent shall issue Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to holders of the
outstanding 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 Exchange Rate shall be
adjusted based on the following formula:
ER’
|
= | ER0 | x | OS’ | ||||
OS0 |
where
ER0 | = | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to such event; |
ER’ | = | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after such event; |
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event; and |
OS’ | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day following the record date fixed for such determination. If any dividend or
distribution of the type described in this Section 8.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or
the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not subdivided or combined, as the case may be, the
Exchange Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors
determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or subdivide or combine the outstanding shares
of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such
dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination had not been declared.
(b) In case Parent shall issue to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common
Stock any rights, warrants or convertible securities entitling them (for a period expiring within
sixty (60) calendar days after the issuance thereof) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the
Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Exchange Rate
shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
ER’
|
= | ER0 | x | OS0 + X | ||||
OS0 + Y |
where
ER0 | = | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to such event; |
ER’ | = | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after such event; |
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event; |
23
X | = | the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants or convertible securities; and |
Y | = | the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants or convertible securities divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the record date (or, if later, the Ex-Date relating to such distribution) for the issuance of such rights, warrants or convertible securities. |
Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights, warrants or convertible
securities are issued and shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the Business Day following the date fixed for such determination. If such rights, warrants or
convertible securities are not so exercised prior to their expiration, the Exchange Rate shall
again be adjusted to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such record date for such
distribution had not been fixed.
In determining whether any rights, warrants or convertible securities entitle the holder
thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of
announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of
Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by Parent for such
rights, warrants or convertible securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion
thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of
Directors.
(c) In case Parent shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock
shares of Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of Parent
(including securities, but excluding dividends and distributions covered by Section 8.04(a),
Section 8.04(b) or Section 8.04(d) and distributions described below in this paragraph (c) with
respect to Spin-Offs) (any of such shares of Capital Stock, indebtedness, or other asset or
property hereinafter in this Section 8.04(c) called the “Distributed Property”), then, in
each such case the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
ER’
|
= | ER0 | x | XX0 | ||||
XX0 - FMV |
where
ER0 | = | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to such distribution; |
ER’ | = | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after such distribution; |
SP0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution (or, if earlier, the Ex-Date relating to such distribution); and |
24
FMV | = | the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the record date for such distribution (or, if earlier, the Ex-Date relating to such distribution). |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such distribution; 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 SP0 as set forth above, 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 exchange, the amount of Distributed Property such Holder would have
received had such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate on the
record date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall
again be adjusted to be the Exchange 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 8.04(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 determining SP0 above.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8.04(c) where there has been a payment
of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Capital Stock, or similar
equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (a “Spin-Off”),
unless the Company or Parent distributes such shares of Capital Stock or equity interests to each
Noteholder on the same basis as such Noteholder would have received had it exchanged its Notes
solely into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, the Exchange
Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date fixed for
determination of stockholders entitled to receive the distribution will be increased based on the
following formula:
ER’
|
= | ER0 | x | FMV0 + MP0 | ||||
MP0 |
where
ER0 | = | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to such distribution; |
ER’ | = | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after such distribution; |
FMV0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of shares of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after the effective date of the Spin-Off; and |
MP0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after the effective date of the Spin-Off. |
Such adjustment shall occur on the tenth Trading Day from, and including, the effective date of the
Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any exchange within the ten Trading Days following
25
any Spin-Off, references within this paragraph (c) to ten days shall be deemed replaced with such
lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between such Spin-Off and the Exchange Date in
determining the applicable Exchange Rate.
Rights or warrants distributed by Parent to all holders of Common Stock, entitling the holders
thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common 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 shares of Common
Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 8.04 (and no
adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this Section 8.04 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 Exchange Rate shall be made
under this Section 8.04(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 and record date with respect to new
rights or warrants with such rights (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 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 Exchange Rate under
this Section 8.04 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 Exchange 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
Exchange Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of this Section 8.04(c), Section 8.04(a) and Section 8.04(b), any dividend or
distribution to which this Section 8.04(c) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock
to which Section 8.04(a) applies or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock to which Section 8.04(a) or Section 8.04(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 8.04(c) applies
(and any Exchange Rate adjustment required by this Section 8.04(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 Exchange Rate adjustment
required by Section 8.04(a) and Section 8.04(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall
then be made), except (A) the record date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as
“the record date” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 8.04(a)
and Section 8.04(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock
26
included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding immediately prior
to such event” within the meaning of Section 8.04(a).
(d) In case Parent shall pay a dividend or make a distribution consisting exclusively of cash
to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock to the extent that the aggregate of all
such cash dividends or distributions paid in any quarter exceeds the Dividend Threshold Amount for
such quarter, the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
ER’
|
= | ER0 | x | SP0 -T | ||||
SP0 - C |
where
ER0 | = | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the record date for such distribution; |
ER’ | = | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the record date for such distribution; |
SP0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the period of ten consecutive Trading Days ending the Business Day immediately preceding the record date (as defined in clause (f) of this Section) for such distribution (or, if earlier, the Ex-Date relating to such distribution); |
T | = | the dividend threshold amount (“Dividend Threshold Amount”), which amount shall initially be $1.0305 per quarter and which shall be appropriately adjusted from time to time for any stock dividends on, or subdivisions or combinations of, Common Stock; provided, that if an Exchange Rate adjustment is required to be made as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly dividend either in whole or in part, the Dividend Threshold Amount shall be deemed to be zero; and |
C | = | the amount in cash per share that Parent distributes to holders of Common Stock. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
record date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the portion of the cash so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than SP0
above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each
Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon exchange of a Note (or any portion thereof) the
amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of shares equal to
the Exchange Rate on the record date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the
Exchange Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Exchange 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 8.04(d), in the event of any
reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Notes become exchangeable into more
than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Exchange Rate is required pursuant to this
Section 8.04(d), references in this Section to one share of Common Stock or Last Reported 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
27
Notes are then exchangeable equal to the number 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 Parent or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or
exchange offer for all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock, to the extent that the cash
and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the
Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on
which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be
amended), the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
ER’
|
= | ER0 | x | AC + (SP’ x OS’) | ||||
SP’ x OS0 |
where
ER0 | = | the Exchange Rate in effect on the date such tender or exchange offer expires; |
ER’ | = | the Exchange Rate in effect on the day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; |
AC | = | the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer; |
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires; |
OS’ | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires; and |
SP’ | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires, |
such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
following the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or
exchange offer. If Parent is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange
offer, but Parent is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting all or any such
purchases or all or any portion of such purchases are rescinded, the Exchange Rate shall again be
adjusted to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had
not been made or had only been made in respect of the purchases that had been effected. No
adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made if the application of the foregoing formulae would
result in a decrease in the Exchange Rate.
(f) For purposes of this Section 8.04 the term “record date” shall mean, with respect
to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock
have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the
28
shares of Common Stock (or other applicable securities) are exchanged for or converted into
any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is
fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).
(g)
In addition to those required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) of this Section 8.04,
and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of the New York
Stock Exchange, the Company from time to time may increase the Exchange Rate by any amount for a
period of at least 20 days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the
Company’s best interest. In addition, the Company may also (but is not required to) increase the
Exchange Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase
shares of Common Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to
acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Exchange 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 a notice of the increase at least five days prior to the date the increased
Exchange Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Exchange Rate and the period
during which it will be in effect.
(h)
All calculations and other determinations under this Article VIII 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 of stock, as the case may be. No adjustment shall be made for Parent’s issuance of shares of
Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or the
right to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities, other than
as provided in this Section 8.04. No adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Rate unless such
adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Exchange Rate then in effect at such time.
The Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Exchange Rate and make
such carried forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%
within one year of the first such adjustment carried forward, upon a Fundamental Change, upon any
call of the Notes for redemption or upon maturity.
(i)
Whenever the Exchange Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file
with the Trustee and any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting
forth the Exchange Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. The Trustee and Exchange Agent may conclusively rely on the accuracy of
the Exchange Rate adjustment provided by the Company. 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 Exchange Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last
Exchange Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such
certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Rate setting
forth the adjusted Exchange Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall
mail such notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Rate to the Holder of each Note at his last
address appearing on the Security Register, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such
adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such
adjustment.
29
(j) For purposes of this Section 8.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Parent but shall include shares
issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
Section 8.05 Sufficient Shares to be Delivered. To the extent the Company elects to
deliver shares of Common Stock, the Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights,
sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for exchange of the Notes from time to time as such
Notes are presented for exchange.
Section 8.06 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of the
following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding 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 Parent with another Person, or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the property and assets of Parent to any other Person, in either case as a
result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other
property or assets with respect to or in exchange for such shares of Common Stock (any such
event a “Merger Event”), then:
(a) the Company and Parent or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall
execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which, as evidenced in an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Trustee, 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) providing for the exchange 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 and the
Trustee may conclusively rely on the determination by the Company of the equivalency of such
adjustments. 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 and practicable the provisions providing for the
repurchase rights set forth in Article IX herein.
In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.06,
the Company shall, in addition to the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by
Section 102 of the Base Indenture, file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating
the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will constitute the Reference
Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, and the
Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof to all Noteholders.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.02(a) and Section 8.02(b), and subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01, at the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to exchange each
$1,000 principal amount of Notes will be changed to a right to exchange
30
such Note by reference to the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property or assets
that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate immediately prior to
such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”)
such that from and after the effective time of such transaction, a Noteholder will be entitled
thereafter to exchange its Notes, subject to the successor’s right to deliver cash, common shares
or shares of Common Stock of such successor or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock as
set forth in Section 8.02(b), into cash (up to the aggregate principal amount thereof) and, in lieu
of the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable, the same type (and in the same proportion) of
Reference Property, based on the Daily Settlement Amounts of Reference Property in an amount equal
to the applicable Exchange Rate, as described under Section 8.02(b). For purposes of determining
the constitution of Reference Property, the type and amount of consideration that a holder of
shares of Common Stock would have been entitled to in the case of reclassifications,
consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyance 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 the weighted
average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of shares of Common Stock
that affirmatively make such an election. Parent 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 exchange its Notes in accordance with the provisions of Article
VIII hereof prior to the effective date.
(c) The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be
mailed to each Noteholder, at his address appearing on the Security Register, within thirty (30)
days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or
validity of such supplemental indenture.
(d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
Section 8.07 Certain Covenants. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock
delivered upon exchange of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by Parent and free from
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
Section 8.08 Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not
at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Noteholder to determine the Exchange Rate
or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Exchange 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 Exchange 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 exchange of any
Note; and the Trustee and any other Exchange Agent make no representations with respect thereto.
Neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company
to transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or share certificates or other securities or
property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of exchange or to comply with
any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article.
31
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent
shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any
supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 8.06 relating either to the kind or amount
of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Noteholders upon the
exchange of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 8.06 or to any adjustment to be
made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Article Six of the Base Indenture, may
accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in
relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto.
Section 8.09 Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.
In case:
(a) Parent shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would
require an adjustment in the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 8.04; or
(b) Parent 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;
(c) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of Parent (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 Parent is a
party and for which approval of any stockholders of Parent is required, or of the sale or transfer
of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of Parent,
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 as promptly as possible but in any event at least thirty
(30) days prior to the applicable date specified in clause (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, 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
shares of 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 8.10 Stockholder Rights Plans. Upon exchange of the Notes, the Holders shall
receive, in addition to any shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exchange, the associated
rights issued under any future stockholder rights plan Parent adopts unless, prior to exchange,
the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock,
32
expired, terminated or been redeemed or converted in accordance with such rights plan. If,
and only if, the Holders receive rights under such stockholder rights plans as described in the
preceding sentence upon exchange of their Notes, then no other adjustment pursuant to this
Article VIII shall be made in connection with such stockholder rights plans.
Section 8.11 Ownership Limit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this First
Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, no Holder of Notes (or beneficial owner of Notes) shall be
entitled to exchange such Notes for shares of Common Stock to the
extent that receipt of such shares would cause such Holder (or beneficial owner of Notes) (together with such Holder’s (or
beneficial owner’s) affiliates) to exceed the applicable ownership limit contained in the
articles of incorporation of Parent.
ARTICLE IX
REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS
Section 9.01 Repurchase of Securities at Option of the Holder on Specified Dates.
(a) The provisions of Article Thirteen of the Base Indenture shall not be applicable to the
Notes.
(b) Each Noteholder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to

amount, for cash on April 1, 2012, April 1, 2017, April 1, 2022, April 1, 2027 and April 1, 2032
(each, a “Put Right Repurchase Date”) at a repurchase price per Note equal to 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, together with any accrued and unpaid
interest up to, but not including, such Put Right Repurchase Date (the “Put Right Repurchase
Price”).
Repurchases of Notes by the Company pursuant to this Section 9.01 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 the
Holder of a written notice of purchase (a “Put Right Repurchase Notice”) in the form
set forth on the reverse of the Note at any time from the opening of business on the date
that is 25 Business Days prior to the applicable Put Right Repurchase Date until the close
of business on the fifth Business Day prior to such Put Right Repurchase Date stating:

Repurchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying
Agent, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Put Right Repurchase
Price therefor, which shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 9.01 only if the Note so
delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in
the related Put Right Repurchase Notice, as determined by the Company.
The Company shall repurchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 9.01, a portion
of a Note if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.
Provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a Note also
apply to the repurchase of such portion of such Note.
Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.01
shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly
following the later of the Put Right Repurchase Date and the time of delivery of the Note.
The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company
of the receipt by it of any Put Right Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01(e).
Any Note that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if
the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a
new Note or Notes, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal
of the Note so surrendered.
(c) In connection with any purchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 9.01, the Company shall
give written notice of the Put Right Repurchase Date to the Holders (the “Company Put Right
Notice”).
The Company Put Right Notice shall be sent by first-class mail to the Trustee and to each
Holder (and to each beneficial owner as required by applicable law) that has delivered a Put Right
Repurchase Notice within ten Business Days of receipt of such Put Right Repurchase Notice, or, if a
shorter period, at least two Business Days prior to any Put Right Repurchase Date (the “Company
Put Right Notice Date”). Each Company Put Right Notice shall include a form of Put Right
Repurchase Notice to be completed by a Noteholder and shall state:
(i) the Put Right Repurchase Price and the Exchange Price;
(ii) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Exchange Agent;
34
(iii) that Notes as to which a Put Right Repurchase Notice has been given may be
exchanged in accordance with Article VIII hereof only if the applicable Put Right Repurchase
Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture;
(iv) that Notes must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment;
(v) that the Put Right Repurchase Price for any Note as to which a Put Right Repurchase
Notice has been given and not withdrawn will be paid promptly following the later of the Put
Right Repurchase Date and the time of surrender of such Note as described in subclause (iv)
above;
(vi) the procedures the Holder must follow to exercise rights under this Section and a
brief description of those rights;
(vii) briefly, the exchange rights of the Notes;
(viii) the procedures for withdrawing a Put Right Repurchase Notice (including pursuant
to the terms of Section 9.01(e));
(ix) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment on Notes for which a Put Right
Repurchase Notice has been submitted, interest on the Notes in respect of which a Put Right
Repurchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn will cease to accrue on the Put Right
Repurchase Date; and
(x) the CUSIP number of the Notes.
If any of the Notes are to be redeemed in the form of a Global Note, the Company shall modify
such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the procedures of the Depositary applicable to
redemptions.
At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such Company Put Right Notice in the
Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of
such Company Put Right Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
(d) Upon receipt by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) of the Put
Right Repurchase Notice specified in Section 9.01(a), the Holder of the Note in respect of which
such Put Right Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such Put Right Repurchase Notice is
withdrawn as specified in Section 9.01(e)) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Put Right
Repurchase Price with respect to such Note. Such Put Right Repurchase Price shall be paid to such
Holder, subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the
Put Right Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the conditions in Section 9.01(a)
have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery of such Note to the Paying Agent by the Holder
thereof in the manner required by Section 9.01(a). Notes in respect of which a Put Right
Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be exchanged pursuant to Article
VIII hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Put Right Repurchase Notice, unless such
Put Right Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn as specified in Section 9.01(e).
35
(e) A Put Right Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal
delivered to the office of the Paying Agent in accordance with the Put Right Repurchase Notice at
any time prior to 10:00 A.M. New York City time on the fourth Business Day prior to the Put Right
Repurchase Date specifying:
(i) if certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn
Notes,
(ii) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal
is being submitted, and
(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the original
Put Right Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000;
provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the notice must comply with
appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
A written notice of withdrawal of a Put Right Repurchase Notice shall be in the form set forth
in the preceding paragraph.
Upon receipt of a written notice of withdrawal, the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the
Holders thereof any Notes in respect of which a Put Right Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01(f).
(f) There shall be no repurchase of any Notes pursuant to this Section 9.01 if there has
occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving, by the Holders of such Notes, of
the required Put Right Repurchase Notice) and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to
Notes (other than a default in the payment of the Put Right Repurchase Price with respect to such
Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Notes held by
it during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to Notes (other than a default in the
payment of the Put Right Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), in which case, upon such
return, the Put Right Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been
withdrawn.
(g) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time in The City of New York) on the Put Right Repurchase Date,
the Company shall 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 in accordance
with the terms of the Base Indenture as modified by this First Supplemental Indenture) an amount
(in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the aggregate
Put Right Repurchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be purchased as of the
Put Right Repurchase Date. The manner in which the deposit required by this Section 9.01(g) is
made by the Company shall be at the option of the Company; provided that such deposit shall be made
in a manner such that the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall have immediately available funds on the
Put Right Repurchase Date.
If the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds, in accordance with the
terms hereof, money sufficient to pay the Put Right Repurchase Price of any Note, then,
36
on the Put Right Repurchase Date, such Note will cease to be Outstanding and the rights of the
Holder in respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Put Right Repurchase
Price as aforesaid).
To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to this
Section 9.01(g) exceeds the aggregate Put Right Repurchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof
that the Company is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Put Right Repurchase Date the
Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess cash to the Company.
Section 9.02 Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.
(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, then each Noteholder shall have the right, at
such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes or any
portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, for cash on the date (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

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 9.02 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.
The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state:
(A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of Notes to be delivered for

following the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of the book-entry
transfer or delivery of the Note.
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 in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02(c).
Any Note that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if
the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a
new Note or Notes, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal
of the Note so surrendered.
(b) On or before the twentieth day after the occurrence of any Fundamental Change, the Company
shall provide to all Holders of record of the Notes and the Trustee and Paying Agent a notice (the
“Fundamental Change Company 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. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the
Company shall publish a notice containing the information included therein once in a newspaper of
general circulation in The City of New York or publish such information on the Company’s website or
through such other public medium as the Company may use at such time.
Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;

been delivered by a Holder may be exchanged only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture;
and
(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their
Notes.
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 9.02.
(c) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the Trustee and Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change
Company Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:
(i) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal
is being submitted;
(ii) if certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn
Notes; and
(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the original
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000;
provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the notice must comply with
appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
(d) On or prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time in The City of New York) on the second Business Day
following 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 in accordance with the Base Indenture as modified by this
First Supplemental 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 Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price. 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 close of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date 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 to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in Section
9.02), and (y) the time of book-entry transfer or the 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 9.02 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 Depositary
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or
its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written
39
demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price.
(e) If the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money or securities
sufficient to repurchase on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all the Notes or portions
thereof that are to be purchased as of the second Business Day following the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date, then on and after 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

2.250% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2037
2.250% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2037
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, designated as
its 2.250% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2037 (herein called the “Securities”), issued under and
pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 8, 2011 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), as
supplemented with respect to the Securities by the First Supplemental Indenture (the “First
Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of June 8, 2011 (as so supplemented, herein called the
“Indenture”), among the Company, Prologis, Inc. (herein called the “Parent Guarantor”) 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, the Parent
Guarantor and the Holders of the Securities. Additional Securities may be issued in an unlimited
aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.
In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be
continuing, the principal of and interest on all Securities 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.
Prior to April 5, 2012, the Company may not redeem the Securities except to preserve the
Company’s status as a real estate investment trust as described in Section 3.01 of the First
Supplemental Indenture. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, on or after April 5,
2012, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Securities, in whole or from time to time in
part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus
accrued and unpaid interest. Any such redemption shall be upon at least 30 days’ and no more than
60 days’ notice to Holders of the Securities.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and
deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, the Put Right Repurchase Price,
the Redemption Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the
Holder who surrenders a Security to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the
Security. 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 contains provisions permitting the Company, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee
in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, and in other
circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of
the Securities at the time Outstanding, evidenced as in the 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 of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the
rights of the Holders of the Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture
shall make any of the changes set forth in Section 6.02 of the First
2
Supplemental Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Security affected
thereby. It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the
maturity of the Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities waive any past default or
Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences except as provided in the Indenture. Any
such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture)
shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this
Security and any Securities which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of
whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Security or such other Securities.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Security at the place, at the respective
times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.
The Securities 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
Securities, Securities may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of
other authorized denominations.
The Securities are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund.
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 Securities or any portion thereof
(in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities such holder elects to
require the Company to repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company or, at the written request of the Company, the
Trustee shall mail to all Holders of record of the Securities a notice of the occurrence of a
Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof on or before the
twentieth day after the occurrence of any Fundamental Change.
On April 1, 2012, April 1, 2017, April 1, 2022, April 1, 2027 and April 1, 2032, the Holder
has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s
Securities or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) at
a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities such Holder elects to require the
Company to repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Put Right
Repurchase Date. Holders shall submit their Securities for repurchase to the Paying Agent at any
time from the opening of business on the date that is 25 Business Days prior to the applicable Put
Right Repurchase Date until the close of business on the fifth Business Day prior to the Put Right
Repurchase Date.
3
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, on
and after February 1, 2012, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the
Indenture and prior to the close of business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity
Date, to exchange any Securities or portion thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof, into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at
the option of the Company as provided in the First Supplemental Indenture, in each case at the
Exchange Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the
Indenture, upon surrender of this Security, together with a Notice of Exchange, a form of which is
attached to this Security, as provided in the Indenture and this Security, to the Company at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, City of
New York or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, and, unless the shares issuable on exchange are
to be issued in the same name as this Security, 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 Exchange Rate is 5.8752 shares for each $1,000 principal amount of
Securities. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon any exchange, but an
adjustment in cash will be paid to the Holder, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any
fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Security or
Securities for exchange. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or any shares issued upon
exchange of such Security except as provided in the Indenture.
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security at the office or agency of
the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, a new Security or Securities 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, 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 Exchange Agent and
any Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of
this Security (whether or not this Security 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 exchange 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 Exchange Agent nor any
Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 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 Security.
Except as provided in Article Sixteen of the Base Indenture, no recourse under or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any
indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future stockholder, partner, director, officer, employee, agent thereof or trustee, as
such, of the Company or any Guarantor or of any successor thereof, either directly or through the
Company or any Guarantor or any successor thereof, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional
provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or
otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this
Security by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities of
this series.

agrees, jointly and severally with any other Guarantors, that its obligations hereunder shall be as

require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Notice or
the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee
will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Note and

No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of such Indenture
shall alter or impair the guarantee of the undersigned, which is absolute and unconditional, of the
full and prompt payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Note.
THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.
This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of
authentication on the Note shall have been executed by the Trustee under the Indenture referred to
above by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers. The validity and enforceability of
this Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Note.
An Event of Default under the Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default
under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of Notes to accelerate the obligations of the
undersigned hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, the undersigned hereby
waives any claims or other rights which it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company
that arise from the existence or performance of its obligations under this Guarantee (all such
claims and rights are referred to as “Guarantor’s Conditional Rights”), including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification,
any right to participate in any claim or remedy against the Company, whether or not such claim,
remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made
hereunder or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from the
Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner,
payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. Guarantor hereby agrees not to
exercise any rights which may be acquired by way of contribution under this Guarantee or any other
agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to
take or receive from any other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by
setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such contribution rights. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of
the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and either (i) such amount is paid to such undersigned party at
any time when the indebtedness shall not have been paid or performed in full, or (ii) regardless of
when such amount is paid to such undersigned party, any payment made by the Company to a Holder
that is at any time determined to be a Preferential Payment (as defined below), then such amount
paid to the undersigned shall be held in trust for
2
the benefit of Holder and shall forthwith be paid to such Holder to be credited and applied
upon the indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured. Any such payment is herein referred to as a
“Preferential Payment” to the extent the Company makes any payment to Holder in connection with the
Note, and any or all of such payment is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other
entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise.
To the extent that any of the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be
enforceable, the undersigned agrees that until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and
performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the Company
or the undersigned to a Holder may be determined to be a Preferential Payment, Guarantor’s
Conditional Rights to the extent not validly waived shall be subordinate to Holders’ right to full
payment and performance of the indebtedness and the undersigned shall not enforce any of
Guarantor’s Conditional Rights until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in
full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the Company or the
undersigned to Holders may be determined to be a Preferential Payment.
The obligations of the undersigned to the Holders of the Notes and to the Trustee pursuant to
this Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article 16 of the Indenture and
reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the precise terms of this Guarantee and all of the
other provisions of the Indenture to which this Guarantee relates.
Capitalized terms used in this Guarantee which are not defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.

2.250% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2037
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, designated as
its 2.250% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2037 (herein called the “Securities”), issued under and
pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 8, 2011 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), as
supplemented with respect to the Securities by the First Supplemental Indenture (the “First
Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of June 8, 2011 (as so supplemented, herein called the
“Indenture”), among the Company, Prologis, Inc. (herein called the “Parent Guarantor”) 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, the Parent
Guarantor and the Holders of the Securities. Additional Securities may be issued in an unlimited
aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.
In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be
continuing, the principal of and interest on all Securities 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.
Prior to April 5, 2012, the Company may not redeem the Securities except to preserve the
Company’s status as a real estate investment trust as described in Section 3.01 of the First
Supplemental Indenture. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, on or after April 5,
2012, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Securities, in whole or from time to time in
part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus
accrued and unpaid interest. Any such redemption shall be upon at least 30 days’ and no more than
60 days’ notice to Holders of the Securities.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and
deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, the Put Right Repurchase Price,
the Redemption Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the
Holder who surrenders a Security to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the
Security. 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 contains provisions permitting the Company, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee
in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, and in other
circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of
the Securities at the time Outstanding, evidenced as in the 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 of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the
rights of the Holders of the Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture
shall make any of the changes set forth in Section 6.02 of the First
1
Supplemental Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Security affected
thereby. It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the
maturity of the Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities waive any past default or
Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences except as provided in the Indenture. Any
such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture)
shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this
Security and any Securities which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of
whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Security or such other Securities.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Security at the place, at the respective
times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.
The Securities 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
Securities, Securities may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of
other authorized denominations.
The Securities are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund.
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 Securities or any portion thereof
(in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities such holder elects to
require the Company to repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company or, at the written request of the Company, the
Trustee shall mail to all Holders of record of the Securities a notice of the occurrence of a
Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof on or before the
twentieth day after the occurrence of any Fundamental Change.
On April 1, 2012, April 1, 2017, April 1, 2022, April 1, 2027 and April 1, 2032, the Holder
has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s
Securities or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) at
a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities such Holder elects to require the
Company to repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Put Right
Repurchase Date. Holders shall submit their Securities for repurchase to the Paying Agent at any
time from the opening of business on the date that is 25 Business Days prior to the applicable Put
Right Repurchase Date until the close of business on the fifth Business Day prior to the Put Right
Repurchase Date.
2
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, on
and after February 1, 2012, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the
Indenture and prior to the close of business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity
Date, to exchange any Securities or portion thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof, into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at
the option of the Company as provided in the First Supplemental Indenture, in each case at the
Exchange Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the
Indenture, upon surrender of this Security, together with a Notice of Exchange, a form of which is
attached to this Security, as provided in the Indenture and this Security, to the Company at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, City of
New York or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, and, unless the shares issuable on exchange are
to be issued in the same name as this Security, 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 Exchange Rate is 5.8752 shares for each $1,000 principal amount of
Securities. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon any exchange, but an
adjustment in cash will be paid to the Holder, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any
fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Security or
Securities for exchange. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or any shares issued upon
exchange of such Security except as provided in the Indenture.
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security at the office or agency of
the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, a new Security or Securities 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, 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 Exchange Agent and
any Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of
this Security (whether or not this Security 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 exchange 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 Exchange Agent nor any
Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 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 Security.
Except as provided in Article Sixteen of the Base Indenture, no recourse under or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any
indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future stockholder, partner, director, officer, employee, agent thereof or trustee, as
such, of the Company or any Guarantor or of any successor thereof, either directly or through the
Company or any Guarantor or any successor thereof, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional
provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or
otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this
Security by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities of
this series.

agrees, jointly and severally with any other Guarantors, that its obligations hereunder shall be as

No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of such Indenture
shall alter or impair the guarantee of the undersigned, which is absolute and unconditional, of the
full and prompt payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Note.
THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.
This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of
authentication on the Note shall have been executed by the Trustee under the Indenture referred to
above by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers. The validity and enforceability of
this Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Note.
An Event of Default under the Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default
under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of Notes to accelerate the obligations of the
undersigned hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, the undersigned hereby
waives any claims or other rights which it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company
that arise from the existence or performance of its obligations under this Guarantee (all such
claims and rights are referred to as “Guarantor’s Conditional Rights”), including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification,
any right to participate in any claim or remedy against the Company, whether or not such claim,
remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made
hereunder or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from the
Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner,
payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. Guarantor hereby agrees not to
exercise any rights which may be acquired by way of contribution under this Guarantee or any other
agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to
take or receive from any other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by
setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such contribution rights. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of
the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and either (i) such amount is paid to such undersigned party at
any time when the indebtedness shall not have been paid or performed in full, or (ii) regardless of
when such amount is paid to such undersigned party, any payment made by the Company to a Holder
that is at any time determined to be a Preferential Payment (as defined below), then such amount
paid to the undersigned shall be held in trust for
2
the benefit of Holder and shall forthwith be paid to such Holder to be credited and applied
upon the indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured. Any such payment is herein referred to as a
“Preferential Payment” to the extent the Company makes any payment to Holder in connection with the
Note, and any or all of such payment is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other
entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise.
To the extent that any of the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be
enforceable, the undersigned agrees that until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and
performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the Company
or the undersigned to a Holder may be determined to be a Preferential Payment, Guarantor’s
Conditional Rights to the extent not validly waived shall be subordinate to Holders’ right to full
payment and performance of the indebtedness and the undersigned shall not enforce any of
Guarantor’s Conditional Rights until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in
full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the Company or the
undersigned to Holders may be determined to be a Preferential Payment.
The obligations of the undersigned to the Holders of the Notes and to the Trustee pursuant to
this Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article 16 of the Indenture and
reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the precise terms of this Guarantee and all of the
other provisions of the Indenture to which this Guarantee relates.
Capitalized terms used in this Guarantee which are not defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.
