THE SECURITIES

SECTION 2.1. FORM AND DATING.

The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the respective forms set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2, which are incorporated in and made part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. The Company shall provide any such notations, legends or endorsements to the Trustee in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Securities are being offered and sold by the Company pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated May 29, 2003 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the Initial Purchasers, in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(a) Restricted Global Securities. All of the Securities are initially being offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A (collectively, “QIBs” or individually, each a “QIB”) in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Restricted Global Securities, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Securities represented thereby with the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the depositary, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) (such depositary, or any successor thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Depositary”), and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co., duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Securities Custodian as hereinafter provided, subject in each case to compliance with the Applicable Procedures.

(b) Global Securities In General. Each Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, purchases or conversions of such Securities. Any adjustment of the aggregate principal amount of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.12 hereof and shall be made on the records of the

Trustee and the Depositary. Upon effectiveness of a shelf registration statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate, a Global Security with respect to each series of Securities in the form of Exhibit A-1 or A-2 hereof, as applicable, which Global Securities shall not bear the Legend. Upon any sale of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security pursuant to such registration statement and delivery of appropriate evidence thereof to the Trustee or any sale or transfer of a beneficial interest in connection with which the Legend may be removed in accordance with this Indenture, the Trustee shall increase the principal amount of the unrestricted Global Security by the amount of such sale (or, as permitted by this Indenture, issued an unrestricted Certificated Security) and likewise reduce the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary or under the Global Security, and the Depositary (including, for this purpose, its nominee) may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (A) prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or (B) impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.

(c) Book Entry Provisions. The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(c), authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Securities that (i) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (ii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions and (iii) shall bear legends substantially in the form of the first paragraph of Exhibits A-1 and A-2 hereto.

SECTION 2.2. EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION.

An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. Typographic and other minor errors or defects in any such facsimile signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security which has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery Securities for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of up to $175,000,000 Fixed Rate Securities (subject to increase by up to $25,000,000 in the event the Initial Purchasers exercise the option to purchase additional Securities granted to them in the Purchase Agreement) and an aggregate principal amount of up to $175,000,000 Floating Rate Securities (subject to increase by up to $25,000,000 in the event the Initial Purchasers exercise the option to purchase additional Securities granted to them in the Purchase Agreement) upon receipt of a written order or orders of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (a “Company

Order”). The Company Order shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated, shall provide that all such Securities will be represented by a Restricted Global Security and the date on which each original issue of Securities is to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding at any time of either series may not exceed the amounts in the foregoing sentence, except as provided in Section 2.7. The Floating Rate Securities and the Fixed Rate Securities shall each constitute a separate series of Securities issued hereunder and each such series shall vote separately as its own class under the Indenture, except where otherwise provided.

The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent shall have the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 2.3. REGISTRAR, PAYING AGENT AND CONVERSION AGENT.

The Company shall maintain one or more offices or agencies where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (each, a “Registrar”), one or more offices or agencies where Securities may be presented for payment (each, a “Paying Agent”), one or more offices or agencies where Securities may be presented for conversion (each, a “Conversion Agent”) and one or more offices or agencies where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company will at all times maintain a Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. One of the Registrars (the “Primary Registrar”) shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or agent for service of notices and demands in any place required by this Indenture, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent (except for the purposes of Section 6.1 and Article 10).

The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar, Custodian and Conversion Agent, and the office or agency of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be the office of the Trustee located at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005) as one such office or agency of the Company for each of the aforesaid purposes.

SECTION 2.4. PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST.

Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Securities, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal, interest or Additional Interest, if any, so becoming due. Subject to

Section 5.2, a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall, before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Securities, segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (other than the Company) shall have no further liability for the money.

SECTION 2.5. SECURITYHOLDER LISTS.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Primary Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each interest payment date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Securityholders.

SECTION 2.6. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in Section 2.12, when a Security is presented to a Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such Security for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form and, if applicable, a transfer certificate each in the form included in Exhibits A-1 and A-2, as applicable, and in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.3, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, and provided, that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12(a), 3.5, 4.2 (last paragraph) or 11.5.

Neither the Company, any Registrar nor the Trustee shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Securities or portions thereof in respect of which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof (except, in the case of the purchase of a Security in part, the portion thereof not to be purchased).

All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(b) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or exchange of Securities.

(c) Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Security in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law.

SECTION 2.7. REPLACEMENT SECURITIES.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Company, a Registrar or the Trustee, or the Company, a Registrar and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company, the applicable Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as will be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, such Registrar or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the Company pursuant to Article 3, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay or purchase such Security, as the case may be.

Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section 2.7, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Registrar) in connection therewith.

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.7 are (to the extent lawful) exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

SECTION 2.8. OUTSTANDING SECURITIES.

Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee, except for those canceled by it, those converted pursuant to Article 4, those delivered to it for cancellation or surrendered for transfer or exchange and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Company receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If a Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on a Redemption Date, Change in Control Purchase Date or the Final Maturity Date money sufficient to pay the principal of (including premium, if any), interest and Additional Interest, if any, on Securities (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after such Redemption Date, Change in Control

Purchase Date or the Final Maturity Date, as the case may be, such Securities (or portions thereof, as the case may be) shall cease to be outstanding and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on them shall cease to accrue.

Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 2.9, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

SECTION 2.9. TREASURY SECURITIES.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any notice, direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or by any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded, except that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such notice, direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

SECTION 2.10. TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company with the consent of the Trustee considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.

SECTION 2.11. CANCELLATION.

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee or its agent any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel, in accordance with its standard procedures, all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or cancellation and shall deliver the canceled Securities to the Company. All Securities which are purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Final Maturity Date may be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if permitted by law, be resold. The Company may not hold or resell such Securities or issue any new Securities to replace any Securities cancelled or any Securities that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article 4.

SECTION 2.12. LEGEND; ADDITIONAL TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE REQUIREMENTS.

(a) If Securities are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities subject to restrictions on transfer and bearing the legends set forth on the forms of Securities attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 and A-2 (collectively, the “Legend”), or if a request is made to remove the Legend on a Security, the Securities so issued shall bear the Legend, or the Legend shall not be removed, as the case

may be, unless there is delivered to the Company and the Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which shall include an opinion of counsel if requested by the Company or such Registrar, as may be reasonably required by the Company and the Registrar, that neither the Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that such Securities are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided that no such evidence need be supplied in connection with the sale of such Security pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale. Upon (i) provision of such satisfactory evidence if requested, or (ii) notification by the Company to the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Security pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a Security that does not bear the Legend. If the Legend is removed from the face of a Security and the Security is subsequently held by an Affiliate of the Company, the Legend shall be reinstated.

(b) A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is issued in exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a Security to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Securities unless and until such Security has been registered in the name of such Person. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with this Section 2.12.

(c) Subject to the succeeding paragraph, every Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend. Whenever any Restricted Security is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange for a Security registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such Security must be accompanied by a certificate in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2, as applicable, dated the date of such surrender and signed by the Holder of such Security, as to compliance with such restrictions on transfer. The Registrar shall not be required to accept for such registration of transfer or exchange any Security not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.

(d) The restrictions imposed by the Legend upon the transferability of any Security shall cease and terminate when such Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) or, if earlier, upon the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision). Any Security as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon a surrender of such Security for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12 (accompanied, in the event that such restrictions on transfer have terminated by reason of a transfer in compliance with Rule 144 or any successor provision, by, if requested by the Company or the Registrar, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company and addressed to the Company to the effect that the transfer of such Security has been made in compliance with Rule 144 or such successor provision), be exchanged for a new Security, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive Legend. The Company shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering the Securities under the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned opinion of counsel or registration statement.

(e) As used in the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 2.12, the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer, hypothecation or other disposition of any Security.

(f) The provisions of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) below shall apply only to Global Securities:

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, a Global Security shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Security registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof, provided that a Global Security may be exchanged for Securities registered in the names of any person designated by the Depositary in the event that (A) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or such Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after receipt of such notice or the Company becomes aware of such failure of registration, (B) the Company has provided the Depositary with written notice that it has decided to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfer through the Depositary or any successor Depositary or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (C) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Depositary. Any Security issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global Security; provided that any such Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security.

(ii) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(iii) Subject to the provisions of clause (v) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

(iv) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (i) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(v) Neither Agent Members nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP NUMBERS.

The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION AND PURCHASES

SECTION 3.1. RIGHT TO REDEEM; NOTICES TO TRUSTEE.

The Fixed Rate Securities may not be redeemed by the Company prior to the Final Maturity Date.

The Company, at its option, may redeem the Floating Rate Securities in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 14 of the Floating Rate Securities.

The Company may not redeem the Floating Rate Securities if it has failed to pay any interest or premium on the Floating Rate Securities and such failure to pay is continuing.

The Company shall give the notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.1 by a Company Order, at least 45 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

SECTION 3.2. SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.

If less than all the outstanding Floating Rate Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Floating Rate Securities to be redeemed in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of

$1,000 by lot, pro rata or by another method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date from outstanding Floating Rate Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal amount of Floating Rate Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000.

Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Floating Rate Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Floating Rate Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Floating Rate Securities or portions of Floating Rate Securities to be redeemed.

If any Floating Rate Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Floating Rate Security so selected, the converted portion of such Floating Rate Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Floating Rate Securities which have been converted during a selection of Floating Rate Securities to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

SECTION 3.3. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail, or shall cause to be mailed, a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Floating Rate Securities to be redeemed.

The notice shall identify the Floating Rate Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

• the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed;

• the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day);

• the Redemption Price including the amount of accrued and unpaid interest to be paid on such Floating Rate Securities;

• the then current Conversion Price;

• the name and address of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;

• that Floating Rate Securities called for redemption may be converted at any time before the close of business on the date that is the last Business Day prior to the Redemption Date unless the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price;

• that Holders who want to convert Floating Rate Securities must satisfy the requirements set forth in paragraph 6 of the Securities;

• that Floating Rate Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

• if fewer than all the outstanding Floating Rate Securities of such series are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers, if any, and principal amounts of the particular Floating Rate Securities to be redeemed;

• that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Redemption Price, interest on Floating Rate Securities called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; and

• the CUSIP number of the Floating Rate Securities.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense, provided that the Company makes such request at least three Business Days prior to the date by which such notice of redemption must be given to Holders in accordance with this Section 3.3. Concurrently with the mailing of any such notice of redemption, the Company shall issue a press release announcing such redemption, the form and content of which shall be determined by the Company.

SECTION 3.4. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

Once notice of redemption is given, Floating Rate Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price stated in the notice except for Floating Rate Securities which are converted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption Price stated in the notice, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. If the Redemption Date falls after an interest payment record date and on or before an interest payment date, then the interest payment will be payable to the Holders who present the Floating Rate Securities for redemption.

On and after the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in the deposit of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Floating Rate Securities or any portion of the Floating Rate Securities called for redemption, the conversion right with respect to the Floating Rate Securities or any portion of the Floating Rate Securities called for redemption will lapse and all other rights of the Holder will terminate other than the right to receive the Redemption Price, without interest from the Redemption Date, on surrender of the Floating Rate Securities.

SECTION 3.5. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

Prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Floating Rate Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Floating Rate Securities or portions of Floating Rate Securities called for redemption which on or prior thereto have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or have been converted. The Paying Agent shall as promptly as practicable return to the Company any money not required for that purpose because of conversion of Floating Rate Securities pursuant to Article 4. If such money is then held by the Company in trust and is not required for such purpose it shall be discharged from such trust.

SECTION 3.6. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.

Upon surrender of a Floating Rate Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, without service charge, a new Floating Rate Security in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the Floating Rate Security surrendered.

SECTION 3.7. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 3.8. PURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL.

(a) If at any time that Securities remain outstanding there shall occur a Change in Control, Securities shall be purchased by the Company at the option of the Holders, as of the date that is 30 Business Days after the occurrence of the Change in Control (the “Change in Control Purchase Date”) at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Change in Control Purchase Date (the “Change in Control Purchase Price”), subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of any Holder of the requirements set forth in subsection (c) of this Section 3.8.

A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs after the date hereof (whether or not such transaction is pursuant to Article 7):

(1) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are defined below) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined below) of shares of Voting Stock of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power of all outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or has the power, directly or indirectly, to elect a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company; or

(2) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, another Person or the Company sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event other than pursuant to a transaction in which the Persons that “beneficially owned” (as defined below) shares of Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction “beneficially own” (as defined below) shares of Voting Stock of the Company representing at least a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding Voting Stock of the surviving or transferee Person; or

(3) the holders of capital stock of the Company approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company (whether or not otherwise in compliance with the terms hereof).

For the purpose of the definition of “Change in Control”, (i) ”person” and “group” have the meanings given such terms under Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision to either of the foregoing, and the term “group” includes any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision thereto), (ii) a “beneficial owner” shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the

Exchange Act, as in effect on the date of this Indenture, except that the number of shares of Voting Stock of the Company shall be deemed to include, in addition to all outstanding shares of Voting Stock of the Company and Unissued Shares deemed to be held by the “person” or “group” (as such terms are defined above) or other Person with respect to which the Change in Control determination is being made, all Unissued Shares deemed to be held by all other Persons, and (iii) the terms “beneficially owned” and “beneficially own” shall have meanings correlative to that of “beneficial owner”. The term “Unissued Shares” means shares of Voting Stock not outstanding that are subject to options, warrants, rights to purchase or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days of the date of determination of a Change in Control.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.8, a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred if either:

(1) the Closing Price (determined in accordance with Section 4.6(d) of this Indenture) of the Common Stock for any five Trading Days during the ten Trading Days immediately preceding the Change in Control is at least equal to 105% of the Conversion Price in effect on such Trading Day; or

(2) in the case of a merger or consolidation, at least 50% of the consideration by value in the merger or consolidation constituting the Change in Control consists of common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) and any associated rights traded on a United States national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market (or which will be so traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such Change in Control) and as a result of such transaction or transactions at least 50% of the value of the consideration for which the Securities become convertible consists of such common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) and associated rights. The value of common stock, American Depositary Receipts or other securities representing common equity interests shall be the closing price therefor on the date of such merger or consolidation on the principal U.S. trading market therefor, and the value of other consideration shall be the fair market value thereof on such date.

(b) Within 10 Business Days after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall mail a written notice (“Company Notice”) of the Change in Control to the Trustee and to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law). The notice shall include the form of a Change in Control Purchase Notice to be completed by the Holder and shall state:

(1) the date of such Change in Control and, briefly, the terms, conditions and events causing such Change in Control;

(2) the date by which the Change in Control Purchase Notice pursuant to this Section 3.8 must be given;

(3) the Change in Control Purchase Date;

(4) the Change in Control Purchase Price;

(5) the Holder’s right to require the Company to purchase the Securities;

(6) briefly, the conversion rights of the Securities;

(7) the name and address of each Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;

(8) the Conversion Price and any adjustments thereto;

(9) that Securities as to which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given may be converted into Common Stock pursuant to Article 4 of this Indenture only to the extent that the Change in Control Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(10) the procedures that the Holder must follow to exercise rights under this Section 3.8;

(11) the procedures for withdrawing a Change in Control Purchase Notice, including a form of notice of withdrawal;

(12) that the Holder must satisfy the requirements set forth in the Securities in order to convert the Securities; and

(13) whether the Change in Control Purchase Price will be paid in cash, Common Stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests), or a combination thereof and, if a combination thereof, the percentage that it will pay in cash or shares of Common Stock or such other securities.

If any of the Securities is in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the procedures of the Depositary applicable to the repurchase of Global Securities.

In the event the Company has elected to pay the Change in Control Purchase Price (or a specified percentage thereof) with shares of Common Stock or other securities, the Company Notice shall state, in addition to the items specified above, (i) that each Holder will receive a number of shares of Common Stock or other securities equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the portion of the Change in Control Purchase Price to be paid in shares of Common Stock or other securities, by (y) 97% of the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock or such other securities for the 15 Trading Days immediately preceding and including the third Trading Day prior to the Repurchase Date (except any cash amount to be paid in lieu of fractional shares); and (ii) that because the market price of shares of common stock or other securities will be determined prior to the Change in Control Purchase Date, Holders of the Securities will bear the market risk with respect to the value of such securities to be received from the date such market price is determined to the Change in Control Purchase Date.

(c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in subsection (a) of this Section 3.8 upon delivery of a written notice (which shall be in substantially the form included in Exhibits A-1 and A-2 hereto, as applicable, and which may be delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary’s customary procedures) of the exercise of such rights (a “Change in Control Purchase Notice”) to any Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Change in Control Purchase Date.

The delivery of such Security to any Paying Agent (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of such Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Change in Control Purchase Price therefor.

The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.8, a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of the Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security pursuant to Sections 3.8 through 3.14 also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to a Paying Agent the Change in Control Purchase Notice contemplated by this subsection (c) shall have the right to withdraw such Change in Control Purchase Notice in whole or in a portion thereof that is a principal amount of $1,000 or in an integral multiple thereof at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Change in Control Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.10.

A Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Change in Control Purchase Notice or written withdrawal thereof.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, any Change in Control Purchase Notice may be delivered or withdrawn and such Securities may be surrendered or delivered for purchase in accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.

If the Change in Control Purchase Date falls after an interest payment record date and on or before an interest payment date, then the interest payment will be payable to the Holder who presents a Security for purchase.

SECTION 3.9. COMPANY’S RIGHT TO ELECT MANNER OF PAYMENT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL PURCHASE PRICE FOR PAYMENT.

(a) The Company may elect to pay the Change in Control Purchase Price of the Securities to be purchased on any Change in Control Purchase Date pursuant to Section 3.2 in cash or Common Stock or, in the case of a merger in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) of the surviving corporation or its direct or indirect parent corporation, or any combination of cash and stock, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.9(a) and Section 3.9(b). All Holders whose Securities are purchased on a Change in Control Purchase Date pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall receive the same percentage of cash or common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) in payment of the Change in Control Purchase Price for such Securities, except (i) as provided in Section 3.9(b) with regard to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional Common Stock and (ii) in the event that the Company is unable to purchase the Securities of a Holder or Holders for Common Stock because any necessary qualifications or registrations of the common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) under applicable state securities laws cannot be obtained, the Company may purchase the Securities of such Holder or Holders for cash. The Company may not change its election with respect to the consideration (or components or percentages of components thereof) to be paid once the Company has given its Company Notice to Securityholders except pursuant to this Section 3.9(a) or pursuant to Section 3.9(b) in the event of a

failure to satisfy, prior to the close of business on the Change in Control Purchase Date, any condition to the payment of the Change in Control Purchase Price, in whole or in part, in common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests), in which case the Change in Control Purchase Price shall be paid in cash.

(b) In each case in which the Company has elected, pursuant to Section 3.9(a), to pay all or a portion of the Change in Control Purchase Price with common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests), the number of common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) that shall be payable shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the relevant amount of the Change in Control Purchase Price to be paid in common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) by (ii) 97% of the average of the Closing Prices of the common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) for the 15 Trading Days immediately preceding and including the third Trading Day prior to the Repurchase Date (the “Market Price”), subject to the next succeeding paragraph.

In lieu of delivering a fractional common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) in payment of the Change in Control Purchase Price, the Company will pay cash for the Market Price of the fractional share or American Depositary Receipt (or other security representing common equity interests). If a Holder elects to have more than one Security purchased, the number of common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) shall be based on the aggregate amount of Securities to be purchased.

The Company’s right to exercise its election to purchase Securities through the delivery of common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) or a combination of common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) and cash, as provided in Section 3.9(a) shall be conditioned upon:

• the Company’s not having given a Company Notice of an election to pay entirely in cash and its timely giving of a Company Notice of election to purchase all or a specified percentage of the Securities with common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) as provided herein;

• the registration of the common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) to be issued upon repurchase under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;

• any necessary qualification or registration of the common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) to be issued upon repurchase under applicable state securities laws or the availability of an exemption from such qualification and registration;

• listing of the common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) on a United States national securities exchange or quotation thereof in an inter-dealer quotation system of any registered United States national securities association; and

• the receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the terms of the delivery of the common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) are in conformity with this Indenture, that the conditions above have been satisfied and that the securities being issued will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of pre-emptive rights. The Officers’ Certificate shall also set forth the number of common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) to be delivered for each $1,000 Principal Amount of Securities and the daily prices of the common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests) used to calculate the average of the Closing Prices of the common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests).

If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied with respect to a Holder or Holders prior to the close of business on the last day prior to the Change in Control Purchase Date and the Company has elected to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Section 3.9 through the delivery of common stock or American Depositary Receipts (or other securities representing common equity interests), the Company shall pay the entire Change in Control Purchase Price of the Securities of such Holder or Holders in cash.

SECTION 3.10. EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL PURCHASE NOTICE.

Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of the Change in Control Purchase Notice specified in Section 3.8(c), the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Change in Control Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Change in Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified below) thereafter be entitled to receive the Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to such Security. Such Change in Control Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of (a) the Change in Control Purchase Date with respect to such Security (provided the conditions in Section 3.8(c) have been satisfied) and (b) the time of delivery of such Security to a Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.8(c). Securities in respect of which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Article 4 on or after the date of the delivery of such Change in Control Purchase Notice unless such Change in Control Purchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn.

A Change in Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice (which may be delivered by mail, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary’s customary procedures) of withdrawal delivered by the Holder to a Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change in Control Purchase Date, specifying the principal amount of the Security or portion thereof (which must be a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted.

SECTION 3.11. DEPOSIT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL PURCHASE PRICE.

On or before 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Change in Control Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Change in Control Purchase Date) or securities sufficient to pay the aggregate Change in Control Purchase Price of

all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of such Change in Control Purchase Date. The manner in which the deposit required by this Section 3.11 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 Change in Control Purchase Date.

If a Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, money or securities sufficient to pay the Change in Control Purchase Price of any Security for which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture then, on the Change in Control Purchase Date, such Security will cease to be outstanding and the rights of the Holder in respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Change in Control Purchase Price as aforesaid). The Company shall publicly announce the principal amount of Securities purchased as a result of such Change in Control on or as soon as practicable after the Change in Control Purchase Date.

The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on any issuance of such Securities.

SECTION 3.12. SECURITIES PURCHASED IN PART.

Any Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of a Paying Agent, and promptly after the Change in Control Purchase Date the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered that is not purchased.

SECTION 3.13. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS UPON PURCHASE OF SECURITIES

In connection with any offer to purchase or purchase of Securities under Section 3.2, the Company shall (a) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 (or any successor to either such Rule), if applicable, under the Exchange Act, (b) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor or similar schedule, form or report) if required under the Exchange Act, and (c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with such offer to purchase or purchase of Securities, all so as to permit the rights of the Holders and obligations of the Company under Sections 3.2 through 3.5 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified therein.

SECTION 3.14. REPAYMENT TO THE COMPANY.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash or securities deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.4 exceeds the aggregate Change in Control Purchase Price (including interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon) of the Securities or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Change in Control Purchase Date the Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess cash or securities to the Company.

ARTICLE 4
CONVERSION

SECTION 4.1. CONVERSION PRIVILEGE

Subject to the further provisions of this Article 4 and the applicable paragraph of the Securities, a Holder of a Security may convert the principal amount of such Security (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) into Common Stock (and any associated rights represented thereby, including rights affected thereto pursuant to the Company’s Rights Plan in effect on the date hereof) at any time prior to the close of business on the Final Maturity Date, at the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that, if such Security is submitted or presented for purchase or redemption pursuant to Article 3, such conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date or the Change in Control Purchase Date for such Security (unless the Company shall default in making the Redemption Price or Change in Control Purchase Price payment when due, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such default is cured and such Security is purchased). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Security shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Security or portion thereof surrendered for conversion by the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date. The initial Conversion Price is set forth in the form of the Securities of each series and is subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 4.

Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security.

A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Change in Control Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 3.8(c) exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted only if such Change in Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to a Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change in Control Purchase Date in accordance with Section 3.9.

A Holder of Securities is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such Holder has converted its Securities to Common Stock, and only to the extent such Securities are deemed to have been converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Article 4.

SECTION 4.2. CONVERSION PROCEDURE.

To convert a Security, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the conversion notice on the back of the Security and deliver such notice to a Conversion Agent, (b) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by a Registrar or a Conversion Agent, and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. The date on which the Holder satisfies all of those requirements is the “Conversion Date.” As soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder through a Conversion Agent a certificate for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion and cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.3. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, conversion notices may be delivered and such Securities may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.

The person in whose name the Common Stock certificate is registered shall be deemed to be a stockholder of record on the Conversion Date; provided, however, that no surrender of a Security on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; provided, further, that such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion of a Security, such person shall no longer be a Holder of such Security. No payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest (except as set forth below) or for dividends or distributions on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security. Accrued interest shall be deemed paid through delivery of Common Stock upon conversion.

Interest or Additional Interest, if any, shall be payable to such registered Holder notwithstanding the conversion of a Security after a regular record date and prior to the interest payment date, subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the payment of defaulted interest or Additional Interest, if any, by the Company. Securities so surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of business on any regular record date to the opening of business on the next succeeding interest payment date, if any, shall also be accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest or Additional Interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount of such Security then being converted. The preceding sentence does not apply, however, if (1) the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a record date for an interest payment but on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date or (2) any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to the notes converted (in which case the Holder will not be required to pay the Company for the amount of the interest payment that the Holder will receive that represents overdue interest, but will be required to pay the Company for the amount of the interest payment that the Holder will receive that represents payment of interest that is not overdue). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest or Additional Interest, if any, on a converted Security. If the Company defaults in the payment of interest or Additional Interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date, the Company shall promptly repay such funds to such Holder.

Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of a Holder in whose name any Security is registered at the close of business on a record date to receive the interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on such Security on the interest payment date in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Securities and the Registration Rights Agreement. If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the aggregate principal amount of Securities converted.

Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.

SECTION 4.3. FRACTIONAL SHARES.

The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities. In lieu thereof, the Company will pay an amount in cash for the current market value of the fractional shares. The cash amount paid in lieu of fractional shares shall be determined, (calculated to the nearest

1/1000^th of a share) by multiplying the Closing Price (determined as set forth in Section 4.6(d)) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date by such fractional share and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.

SECTION 4.4. TAXES ON CONVERSION.

If a Holder converts a Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon such conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificate representing the Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent 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 regulation.

SECTION 4.5. COMPANY TO PROVIDE STOCK.

The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Securities hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Securities into shares of Common Stock.

All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Securities shall be newly issued shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities, if any, and will list or cause to have quoted such shares of Common Stock on each national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market or other over-the-counter market or such other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted. Any Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security hereunder which at the time of conversion was a Restricted Security will also be a Restricted Security.

SECTION 4.6. ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE.

The conversion price as stated in paragraph 6 of each of the Securities (the “Conversion Price”) shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iv) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock which it would have owned had such Security been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of subdivision of combination.

(b) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period of not more than 60 days after such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would purchase at the Current Market Price per share (as defined in subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) of Common Stock on such record date, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the end of the period during which such rights or warrants are exercisable not all rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued).

(c) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or other assets (including securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (1) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash referred to in Section 4.6(c)(2) below or (2) dividends or distributions referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 4.6), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 4.6), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share (as defined in subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the fair market value on such record date (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share (as defined in subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

In the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that

each holder of a Security shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants such holder would have received had such holder converted each Security on such record date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 4.6(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock.

Rights (including rights issued under the Company’s Rights Plan as in effect on the date hereof) or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.6 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.6 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 to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 4.6(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this 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 Conversion Price under this Section 4.6 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price 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 which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

(1) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a “Triggering Distribution”) to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this

Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Business Day (the “Determination Date”) immediately preceding the day on which such Triggering Distribution is declared by the Company multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Determination Date less the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair market value (determined as aforesaid in this Section 4.6(c)(1)) of any such other consideration so distributed, paid or payable within such 12 months (including, without limitation, the Triggering Distribution) applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date) and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date on which the Triggering Distribution is paid.

(2) In case any tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall involve the payment of aggregate consideration in an amount (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) as of the last date (the “Expiration Date”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the “Expiration Time”) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the Expiration Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date and the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid) payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (y) the

product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 4.6) on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Date. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased. If the application of this Section 4.6(c)(2) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 4.6(c)(2).

(3) For purposes of this Section 4.6(c), the term “tender offer” shall mean and include both tender offers and exchange offers, all references to “purchases” of shares in tender offers (and all similar references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares in tender offers and the acquisition of shares pursuant to exchange offers, and all references to “tendered shares” (and all similar references) shall mean and include shares tendered in both tender offers and exchange offers.

(d) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 4.6, the current market price (the “Current Market Price”) per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the 30 consecutive Trading Days commencing 45 Trading Days before (i) the Determination Date or the Expiration Date, as the case may be, with respect to distributions or tender offers under subsection (c) of this Section 4.6 or (ii) the record date with respect to distributions, issuances or other events requiring such computation under subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 4.6. The closing price (the “Closing Price”) for each day shall be the last reported sales price or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such date, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices in either case on the Nasdaq National Market or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on the Nasdaq National Market, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on the Nasdaq National Market or any national securities exchange, the last reported sales price of the Common Stock as quoted on NASDAQ or, in case no reported sales takes place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as quoted on NASDAQ or any comparable system or, if the Common Stock is not quoted on NASDAQ or any comparable system, the closing sales price or, in case no reported sale takes place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, as furnished by any two members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. If no such prices are available, the Current Market Price per share shall be the fair value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee).

(e) In any case in which this Section 4.6 shall require that an adjustment be made following a record date or a Determination Date or Expiration Date, as the case may be, established for purposes of this Section 4.6, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 4.9) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such record date or Determination Date or Expiration Date the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate

evidence prepared by the Company of the right to receive such shares. If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required to be made as of the record date or Determination Date or Expiration Date therefor is not thereafter made or paid by the Company for any reason, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or such effective date or Determination Date or Expiration Date had not occurred.

SECTION 4.7. NO ADJUSTMENT.

No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required if Holders may participate in the transactions set forth in Section 4.6 above without converting.

No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price as last adjusted; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 4.7 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article 4 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth of a cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

Except as otherwise described in this Article 4, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required for the issuance of Common Stock or the right to purchase Common Stock or any such convertible or exchangeable securities.

To the extent that the Securities become convertible into the right to receive cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash. Interest will not accrue on the cash.

SECTION 4.8. ADJUSTMENT FOR TAX PURPOSES.

The Company shall, upon 15 days prior notice, be entitled to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by Section 4.6, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivisions of shares, distributions of rights to purchase stock or securities or distributions of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable.

SECTION 4.9. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT.

Whenever the Conversion Price or conversion privilege is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Securityholders a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. Unless and until the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate setting forth an adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that the Conversion Price has not been adjusted and that the last Conversion Price of which it has knowledge remains in effect.

SECTION 4.10. NOTICE OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.

In the event that:

(1) the Company takes any action which would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price;

(2) the Company consolidates or merges with, or transfers all or substantially all of its property and assets to, another corporation and stockholders of the Company must approve the transaction; or

(3) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company,

the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee a notice stating the proposed record or effective date, as the case may be. The Company shall mail the notice at least ten days before such date. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 4.10.

SECTION 4.11. EFFECT OF RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE ON CONVERSION PRIVILEGE.

If any of the following shall occur, namely: (a) any reclassification or change of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities (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 subdivision or combination, or any other change for which an adjustment is provided in Section 4.6); (b) any consolidation or merger or combination to which the Company is a party or (c) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, directly or indirectly, to any person, then the Company, or such successor, purchasing or transferee corporation, as the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such reclassification, change, combination, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right to convert such Security into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, combination, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such Security immediately prior to such reclassification, change, combination, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance based on the assumption that the Holder would not have exercised any rights of election that the Holder would have had as a Holder of Common Stock to select a particular type of consideration. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Price which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Price provided for in this Article 4. If, in the case of any such consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock include shares of stock or other securities and property of a person other than the successor, purchasing or transferee corporation, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. The provisions of this Section 4.11 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, combinations, consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 4.11, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (x) an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such reclassification, change, combination, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, any adjustment to be made with respect

thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with and (y) an Opinion of Counsel that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice thereof to all Holders.

SECTION 4.12. TRUSTEE’S DISCLAIMER.

The Trustee shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 4 should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate including the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.9. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with any provisions of this Article 4.

The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 4.11, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.11.

SECTION 4.13. VOLUNTARY REDUCTION.

The Company from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and if the reduction is irrevocable during the period if our Board of Directors determines that such reduction would be in the best interest of the Company, and the Company provides 15 days prior notice of any reduction in the Conversion Price; provided, however, that in no event may the Company reduce the Conversion Price to be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock.

ARTICLE 5
SUBORDINATION

SECTION 5.1. AGREEMENT OF SUBORDINATION.

The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities issued hereunder by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 5; and each Person holding any Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all Securities (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price and the Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to redemption or purchase in accordance with Article 3 as provided in this Indenture) issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of all Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

No provision of this Article 5 shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder.

SECTION 5.2. PAYMENTS TO HOLDERS.

No payment shall be made with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price and the Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to redemption or purchase in accordance with Article 3 as provided in this Indenture), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section 5.5, if:

(i) a default in the payment of principal, premium, interest, rent or other obligations due on any Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Designated Senior Indebtedness for which there is a period of grace, in the event of such a default that continues beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Designated Senior Indebtedness), unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist; or

(ii) a default, other than a payment default, on a Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing that then permits holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a Representative or holder of Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Company.

Subject to the provisions of Section 5.5, if the Trustee receives any Payment Blockage Notice pursuant to clause (ii) above, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until at least 365 days shall have elapsed since the initial effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee (unless such default was waived, cured or otherwise ceased to exist and thereafter subsequently reoccurred) shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice.

The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities upon the earlier of:

(a) in the case of a default referred to in clause (i) above, the date upon which the default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, or

(b) in the case of a default referred to in clause (ii) above, the earlier of the date on which such default is cured or waived or ceases to exist or 179 days pass after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, unless this Article 5 otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time of such payment or distribution.

Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether voluntary or involuntary) or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings, all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness before any payment is made on account of the principal of, premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities (except payments made pursuant to Article 10 from monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant thereto prior to commencement of proceedings for such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization); and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or

reorganization of the Company or bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceeding, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled, except for the provision of this Article 5, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders of the Securities or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, or as otherwise required by law or a court order) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash, or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the Securities or to the Trustee.

For purposes of this Article 5, the words, “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article 5 with respect to the Securities to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness (other than leases which are not assumed by the Company or the new corporation, as the case may be) are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all its property to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article 7 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 5.2 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions stated in Article 7.

In the event of the acceleration of the Securities because of an Event of Default, no payment or distribution shall be made to the Trustee or any Holder of Securities in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities by the Company (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price or Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to redemption or purchase in accordance with Article 3 as provided in this Indenture), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by Section 5.5, until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or such acceleration is rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness of such acceleration.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including, without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise), prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, or provision is made for such payment thereof in accordance with its terms in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to

the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

Nothing in this Section 5.2 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 9.7. This Section 5.2 shall be subject to the further provisions of Section 5.5.

SECTION 5.3. SUBROGATION OF SECURITIES.

Subject to the payment in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, of all Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5 (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to other indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities shall be paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 5, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5, to or for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness; and no payments or distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this Article 5, which would otherwise have been paid to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for the account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article 5 are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

Nothing contained in this Article 5 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any), interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 5 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 5, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 5.

SECTION 5.4. AUTHORIZATION TO EFFECT SUBORDINATION.

Each Holder of a Security by the Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 5 and appoints the Trustee to act as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 5.3 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the holders of any Senior Indebtedness or their representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Securities.

SECTION 5.5. NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

The Company shall give prompt written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate to a Trust Officer of the Trustee and to any Paying Agent of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 5 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5, unless and until a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office from the Company (in the form of an Officers’ Certificate) or a Representative or a Holder or Holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee thereof; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided that if on a date not less than one Business Day prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Security) the Trustee shall not have received, with respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 5.5, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 5 to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Trustee to the Holders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Article 10, and any such payment shall not be subject to the provisions of Article 5.

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Representative or a person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders. In

the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 5, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 5, and if such evidence is not furnished the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

SECTION 5.6. TRUSTEE’S RELATION TO SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.

The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 5 in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in Section 9.11 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 5, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of Securities, the Company or any other person money or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 5 or otherwise.

SECTION 5.7. NO IMPAIRMENT OF SUBORDINATION.

No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

SECTION 5.8. CERTAIN CONVERSIONS DEEMED PAYMENT.

For the purposes of this Article 5 only, the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of Securities in accordance with Article 4 and the payment, issuance or delivery of cash, property or other securities upon conversion of a Security shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of such Security (or premium, if any) or interest. For the purposes of this Section 5.8, the term “junior securities” means (a) shares of any stock of any class of the Company, or (b) securities of the Company which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article. Nothing contained in this Article 5 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Security to convert such Security in accordance with Article 4.

SECTION 5.9. ARTICLE APPLICABLE TO PAYING AGENTS.

If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that the first paragraph of Section 5.5 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

SECTION 5.10. SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS ENTITLED TO RELY.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

ARTICLE 8
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

SECTION 8.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

An “Event of Default” shall occur if:

(1) the Company defaults in the payment of any interest or Additional Interest, if any, payable on any Security when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days, whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the provisions of Article 5 hereof;

(2) the Company defaults in the payment of any principal of (including, without limitation, any premium, if any, on) any Security when the same becomes due and payable (whether at maturity, upon a Change in Control Purchase Date or otherwise), whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the provisions of Article 5 hereof;

(3) the Company fails to comply with any of its other covenants contained in the Securities or this Indenture and the default continues for the period and after the notice specified below;

(4) the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price of any Security when the same becomes due and payable, whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the provisions of Article 5 hereof; or

44 (5) the Company fails to provide a Change in Control Purchase Notice when required by Section 3.8; or

(6) any indebtedness under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (an “Instrument”) with a principal amount then outstanding in excess of U.S. $25,000,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, is not paid at final maturity of the Instrument (either at its stated maturity or upon acceleration thereof), and such indebtedness is not discharged, or such default in payment or acceleration is not cured or rescinded, within a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such indebtedness to be discharged or cause such default to be cured or waived or such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

(7) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding;

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;

(C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

(8) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(A) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding;

(B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; or

(C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary;

and in each case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11 of the United States Code (or any successor thereto) or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

A default under clause (3) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a series then outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee, in writing of the default, and the Company does not cure the default within 60 days after receipt of such notice. The notice given pursuant to this Section 8.1 must specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” When any default under this Section 8.1 is cured, it ceases.

The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to a Trust Officer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee by the Company, a Paying Agent, any Holder or any agent of any Holder.

SECTION 8.2. ACCELERATION.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 8.1) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding of any series may, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, declare all unpaid principal to the date of acceleration on the Securities then outstanding of such series (if not then due and payable) to be due and payable upon any such declaration, and the same shall become and be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 8.1 occurs with respect to the Company, all unpaid principal of the Securities of each series then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding of any series by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences with respect to that series if (a) all existing Events of Default with respect to that series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Securities which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; (b) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest at a rate of 2% per annum over the amount of interest otherwise payable on such Security on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; (c) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (d) all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 9.7 have been made. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 8.3. OTHER REMEDIES.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any series, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of the principal of or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 8.4. WAIVER OF DEFAULTS AND EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

Subject to Sections 8.7 and 11.2, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding of a series by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing default or Event of Default and its consequence with respect to such series, except a default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Security when due, a failure by the Company to convert any Securities into Common Stock or any default or Event of Default in respect of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities which, under Section 11.2, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. When a default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases.

SECTION 8.5. CONTROL BY MAJORITY.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Securities then outstanding of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy or power available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to such series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder or the Trustee, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 8.6. LIMITATIONS ON SUITS.

A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities (except actions for payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, or for the right to convert the Securities pursuant to Article 4) unless:

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the applicable series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable indemnity to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding of the applicable series.

A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Securityholder.

SECTION 8.7. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT AND TO CONVERT.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of the principal of, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security and this Indenture, to convert such Security in accordance with Article 4 and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 8.8. COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.

If an Event of Default in the payment of principal, interest or Additional Interest, if any, specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 8.1 occurs and is continuing with respect to any Securities, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or another obligor on the Securities for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest or Additional Interest, if any, remaining unpaid, together with, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue principal and overdue installments of interest or Additional Interest, if any, in each case at a rate equal to the interest rate then in effect on such Security plus 2% per annum and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 8.9. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.7, and to the extent that such payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other property which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or, on behalf of any Holder, to authorize, accept or adopt any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 8.10. PRIORITIES.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 8, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First, to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 9.7;

Second, to the holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent required by Article 5;

Third, to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, interest and Additional Interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal, interest and Additional Interest, if any, respectively; and

Fourth, the balance, if any, to the Company.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 8.10.

SECTION 8.11. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 8.11 does not apply to a suit made by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 8.7, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding of any series.

SECTION 9.4. TRUSTEE’S DISCLAIMER.

If a default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the affected series notice of the default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. However, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of Securityholders of such series, except in the case of a default or an Event of Default in payment of the principal of, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Security of such series.

SECTION 9.6. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS.

If such report is required by TIA Section 313, within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a).

Such expenses may include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 9.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 8.1 occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law to the extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.1. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE.

This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of conversion, registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for and except as further provided below), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

(1) either

(A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.7 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company as provided in Section 10.3) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(B) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited cash with the Trustee or a Paying Agent (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of and in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable);

(2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and

(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 9.7 shall survive and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the provisions of Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.12, Article 4, Section 6.1, Section 6.2, this Article 10 and Section 12.5, shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full.

SECTION 10.2. APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY.

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.3, the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall hold in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, all money deposited with it pursuant to Section 10.1 and shall apply the deposited money in accordance with this Indenture and the Securities to the payment of the principal of, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities.

SECTION 10.3. REPAYMENT TO COMPANY.

The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess money (i) deposited with them pursuant to Section 10.1 and (ii) held by them at any time.

The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest or Additional Interest, if any, that remains unclaimed for two years after a right to such money has matured; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be mailed to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein, which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

SECTION 10.4. REINSTATEMENT.

If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 10.2 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.1 until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 10.2; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of the principal of or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive any such payment from the money held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 11
AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

SECTION 11.1. WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities with respect to one or both series of Securities without notice to or consent of any Securityholder:

(a) to comply with Sections 4.11 and 7.1;

(b) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(c) to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder;

(d) to comply with the provisions of the TIA;

(e) to add to the covenants of the Company for the equal and ratable benefit of the Securityholders or to surrender any right, power or option conferred upon the Company; or

(f) to appoint a successor Trustee.

SECTION 11.2. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

The Company and the Trustee may, with respect to any series of Securities, amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding of each series affected thereby. The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding of a series may waive compliance (with respect to such series) in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series without notice to any Securityholder. However, notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 11.4, without the written consent of each Securityholder of the series affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 8.4, may not:

(a) change the stated maturity of the principal of any Security;

(b) reduce the principal amount of, or any premium or interest on, any Security;

(c) change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or any premium, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, any Security;

(d) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with respect to, any Security;

(e) modify the provisions with respect to the purchase right of Holders pursuant to Article 3 upon a Change in Control in a manner adverse to Holders;

(f) modify the subordination provisions of Article 5 in a manner materially adverse to the Holders of Securities;

(g) adversely affect the right of Holders to convert Securities other than as provided in or under Article 4 of this Indenture;

(h) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities whose Holders must consent to a modification or amendment;

(i) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities necessary for the waiver of compliance with the provisions of this Indenture or the waiver of defaults under this Indenture; and

(j) modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 8.4, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 11.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 11.1 or this Section 11.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. An amendment or supplement under this Section 11.2 or under Section 11.1 may not make any change that adversely affects the rights under Article 5 of any holder of an issue of Senior Indebtedness unless the holders of that issue, pursuant to its terms, consent to the change.

SECTION 11.3. COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as in effect at the date of such amendment or supplement.

SECTION 11.4. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to a series, it shall bind every Securityholder of such series, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (a) through (k) of Section 11.2. In that case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

SECTION 11.5. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.

SECTION 11.6. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.

The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 11 if the amendment or supplemental indenture does not adversely affect the rights, duties,

liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, but need not sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 9.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplement indenture until the Board of Directors approves it.

SECTION 11.7. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

ARTICLE 12

Business Day immediately preceding the Change in Control Purchase Date for such Note or such earlier date as the Holder presents such Note for purchase (unless the Company shall default in making the Change in Control Purchase Price, when due, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such default is cured and such Note is purchased).

The initial Conversion Price is $4.013 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances as provided in the Indenture. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note is determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note or portion thereof converted by the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion; in lieu thereof, an amount will be paid in cash based upon the Closing Price (as defined in the Indenture) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date.

To convert a Note, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the conversion notice set forth below and deliver such notice to a Conversion Agent, (b) surrender the Note to a Conversion Agent, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by a Registrar or a Conversion Agent, and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. Notes so surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of business on any regular record date to the opening of business on the next succeeding interest payment date, if any, shall also be accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount of such Note then being converted, and such interest shall be payable to such registered Holder notwithstanding the conversion of such Note, subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the payment of defaulted interest, if any, by the Company in each case to the extent provided in the Indenture, including Section 4.2 thereof. If the Company defaults in the payment of interest payable on such interest payment date, if any, the Company shall promptly repay such funds to such Holder. A Holder may convert a portion of a Note equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

A Note in respect of which a Holder had delivered a Change in Control Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Note may be converted only if the Change in Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

7. SUBORDINATION

The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company (including any interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowed as a claim in any such proceeding). Any Holder by accepting this Note agrees to and shall be bound by such subordination provisions and authorizes the Trustee to give them effect. In addition to all other rights of Senior Indebtedness described in the Indenture, the Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be Senior Indebtedness and entitled to the benefits of the subordination provisions irrespective of any amendment, modification or waiver of any terms of any instrument relating to the Senior Indebtedness or any extension or renewal of the Senior Indebtedness.

8. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE, CANCELLATION

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may register the transfer of or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements

A-1-8

and transfer documents and to pay any taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation thereto by law or permitted by the Indenture.

All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion will, if surrendered to the Company or any of its other Agents with respect to the Notes, be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee will promptly cancel all Notes delivered to it. No Notes will be authenticated in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in the Indenture.

9. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS

The Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

10. UNCLAIMED MONEY

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its written request, subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After that, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and an existing default or Event of Default and its consequence or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived in a particular instance with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without the consent of or notice to any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

If an Event of Default (other than as a result of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare all unpaid principal to the date of acceleration on the Notes then outstanding to be due and payable immediately, all as and to the extent provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs as a result

A-1-9

of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company, unpaid principal of the Notes then outstanding shall become due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, all as and to the extent provided in the Indenture. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Company is required to file periodic reports with the Trustee as to the absence of default.

14. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY

U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, as if it were not the Trustee.

15. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY]

ADC TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC.
FLOATING RATE CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE JUNE 15, 2013

1. INTEREST

The Company shall pay interest on this Note semiannually in arrears at the rate specified below on June 15 and December 15, each an interest payment date, commencing on December 15, 2003. Interest shall accrue from and including June 4, 2003 or the most recent interest date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year using the actual number of days elapsed from and including an interest payment date to but excluding the next succeeding interest payment date.

All references in the Indenture and this Note to interest shall be deemed to include a reference to additional interest if payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 4, 2003 with respect to the Notes. If additional interest is payable on this Note as contemplated under the Registration Rights Agreement, it shall be payable on each interest payment date and at maturity to the record holder entitled to interest on such date.

The interest rate on this Note for the period from June 4, 2003 to December 15, 2003 will be 1.5625%. The Calculation Agent will reset the interest rate on each interest payment date, each an “interest reset date,” commencing December 15, 2003. The second London business day preceding an interest reset date will be the “LIBOR determination date” for that interest reset date. To reset the interest rate, the Calculation Agent will determine 6-month LIBOR on the LIBOR determination date and then add 0.375% to it. The interest rate in effect on each day that is not an interest reset date will be the interest rate determined as of the LIBOR determination date pertaining to the immediately preceding interest reset date. The interest rate in effect on any day that is an interest reset date will be the interest rate determined as of the interest determination date pertaining to that interest reset date.

“6-month LIBOR” means:

a) the rate for six-month deposits in United States dollars commencing on the related interest payment date, that appears on the Moneyline Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR determination date; or

A-2-6

b) if no rate appears on the particular LIBOR determination date on the Moneyline Telerate Page 3750, the rate calculated by the calculation agent as the arithmetic mean (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-ten thousandths of a percentage point rounded upwards) of at least two offered quotations obtained by the calculation agent after requesting the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market to provide the calculation agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of six months, commencing on the related interest payment date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that LIBOR determination date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time; or

c) if fewer than two offered quotations referred to in clause (b) are provided as requested, the rate calculated by the calculation agent as the arithmetic mean (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-ten thousandths of a percentage point rounded upwards) of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the particular LIBOR determination date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the calculation agent for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a period of six months and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time; or

d) if the banks so selected by the calculation agent are not quoting as mentioned in clause (c), 6-month LIBOR in effect on the preceding LIBOR determination date (1.5625% per annum in the case of the reset on December 15, 2003).

‘‘Moneyline Telerate Page 3750’’ means the display on Moneyline Telerate (or any successor service) on such page (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for United States dollars.

‘‘London banking day’’ means a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in United States dollars, in London.

The Calculation Agent shall be U.S. Bank National Association, or such other Person as the Company shall from time to time designate.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT
