(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, redemptions, 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.

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

OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.  TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS TO NOMINEES OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE, AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE TWO OF THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.”

Section 2.02.  Execution and Authentication.

An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.  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 the aggregate principal amount of up to $800,000,000 (or up to $920,000,000 if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option with respect to the initial distribution of securities in full) upon receipt of a written order or orders of the Company signed by two

16

Officers of the Company (a “Company Order”); provided that additional Securities may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount so long as such Securities are part of the same issue, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1275-1(f) and 1.1275-2(k)(2), as the Securities initially issued hereunder.  Each Company Order shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated and the date on which each original issue of Securities is to be authenticated.

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 2.03.  Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.

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 7.01 and Article 11).

The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar, Custodian and Conversion Agent, and each of the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and the office or agency of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be U.S. Bank Trust National Association, an Affiliate of the Trustee), to be such office or agency of the Company for each of the aforesaid purposes.

Section 2.05.  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 semiannual 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 2.06.  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 Exhibit A, 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 transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03, 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; provided that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.04, 5.02 (last paragraph) or 12.05.

None of the Company, any Registrar or the Trustee shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Securities or portions thereof in respect of which a Fundamental Change 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).

18

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 2.03 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 U.S. federal or state securities law.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or other beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.07.  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 redeemed or purchased by the Company pursuant to Article 3, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay, redeem or purchase such Security, as the case may be.

Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section 2.07, 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 2.07 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

19

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 2.07 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 2.08.  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 5, those delivered to it for cancellation or surrendered for transfer or exchange and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Company receives, subsequent to the new Security’s authentication, proof satisfactory to the Company 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 in respect of Securities on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the Final Maturity Date money sufficient to pay the principal of (including premium, if any), and any accrued interest on, Securities (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after such Fundamental Change 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 any interest on them shall cease to accrue.

Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 2.09, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

Section 2.09.  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

20

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, redemption, payment or conversion.  The Trustee and no one else shall cancel, in accordance with its standard procedures, all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, redemption, payment, conversion or cancellation and shall deliver the canceled Securities to the Company.  All Securities which are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Final Maturity Date shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company may not hold or resell such Securities or issue any new Securities to replace any such Securities or any Securities that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article 5.

Section 2.12.  Additional Transfer Requirements.

(a)                                  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.

(b)                                 The provisions of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) 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, (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 clause (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

21

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)            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.

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
PURCHASES OF SECURITIES UPON FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE

Section 3.01.  Purchase of Securities at Option of the Holder Upon Fundamental Change.

(a)                                  If at any time that Securities remain outstanding there shall occur a Fundamental Change, Securities shall be purchased by the Company at the option of the Holders, as of the

22

date that is 30 Business Days after the occurrence of the Fundamental Change (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”) at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Price”), payable in cash, subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of any Holder of the requirements set forth in subsection (c) of this Section 3.01.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not repurchase the Securities upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Securities has been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

A “Fundamental Change” shall mean the occurrence of a Change in Control or a Termination of Trading.

A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs after the date hereof:

(i)                  any “person” or “group” (as such terms are defined below) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined below), directly or indirectly, of shares of Voting Stock of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power of all outstanding classes of 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

(ii)               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), directly or indirectly, shares of Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction “beneficially own” (as defined below), directly or indirectly, shares of Voting Stock of the Company representing at least a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding classes of Voting Stock of the surviving or transferee Person; or

(iii)            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

23

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 3.01, a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred if, in the case of a merger or consolidation, all of the consideration (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights) in the merger or consolidation constituting the Change in Control consists of common stock traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or quoted on Nasdaq (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 the Daily Net Share Settlement Value (if any) of any Securities surrendered for conversion would be in the form of such common stock.

A “Termination of Trading” means that the Common Stock or other securities into which the Securities are convertible are neither listed for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange nor approved for listing on Nasdaq or any similar U.S. system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices.

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

(i)                  the date of such Fundamental Change and, briefly, the events causing such Fundamental Change;

(ii)               the date by which the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice pursuant to this Section 3.01 must be given;

(iii)            the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;

(iv)           the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;

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

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

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

(viii)     the Conversion Price and any adjustments thereto;

(ix)             that Securities as to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given may be converted into Cash and Common Stock (if any) pursuant to Article 5 of this Indenture only to the extent that the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

24

(x)                the procedures that the Holder must follow to exercise rights under this Section 3.01;

(xi)             the procedures for withdrawing a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, including a form of notice of withdrawal; and

(xii)          that the Holder must satisfy the requirements set forth in the Securities in order to convert the 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.

(c)                                  A Holder may exercise its rights specified in subsection (a) of this Section 3.01 upon delivery of a written notice (which shall be in substantially the form included in Exhibit A hereto 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 “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice”) to any Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day next preceding the Fundamental Change 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 Fundamental Change Purchase Price therefor.

The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.01, 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 Section 3.01 through Section 3.04 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 Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this subsection (c) shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change 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 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Trading Day next preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.02.

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

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, any Fundamental Change 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.

25

Section 3.02.  Effect of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.

Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice specified in Section 3.01(c), the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified below) thereafter be entitled to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Security.  Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of (a) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date with respect to such Security (provided the conditions in Section 3.01(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 3.01(c).  Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Article 5 on or after the date of the delivery of such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn.

A Fundamental Change 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 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change 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 3.03.  Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price.

On or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change 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 Fundamental Change Purchase Date) sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of such Fundamental Change Purchase Date.  The manner in which the deposit required by this Section 3.03 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 Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

If a Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Security for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture, then, on the Fundamental Change 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 Fundamental Change Purchase Price as aforesaid).  The Company shall publicly announce the principal amount of Securities purchased as a result of such Fundamental Change on or as soon as practicable after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

26

To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.03 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date the Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess cash to the Company.

Section 3.04.  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 Fundamental Change 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 3.05.  Compliance with Securities Laws Upon Purchase of Securities.

In connection with any offer to purchase or repurchase of Securities under Section 3.01, the Company shall (a) comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules 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 repurchase of Securities, all so as to permit the rights of the Holders and obligations of the Company under Section 3.01 through Section 3.04 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified therein.

ARTICLE 4
PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND MAKE WHOLE PREMIUM

Section 4.01 Interest Payments

(a)                                  The Company shall pay interest on the Securities at a rate of 2.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day, commencing December 1, 2005.  Interest on a Security shall be paid to the Holder of such Security at the close of business on May 15 or November 15 (each, a “Record Date”), as the case may be, next preceding the related Interest Payment Date, and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.  In the event of the maturity, conversion, or purchase of a Security by the Company at the option of the Holder, interest shall cease to accrue on such Security.

(b)                                 Upon conversion of a Security, (i) a Holder shall not receive any cash payment of interest (unless such conversion occurs between a Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which it relates, in which case a Holder on the Record Date will receive on the Interest Payment Date accrued and unpaid interest) and the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted to account for accrued and unpaid interest and (ii) except as set forth in clause (c) below, the Company’s delivery to a Holder of cash and shares, if any, of Common Stock into which the Security is

27

convertible shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation with respect to such Security, and any accrued but unpaid interest shall be deemed to be paid in full upon conversion, rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

(c)                                  Securities surrendered for conversion by a Holder after the close of business on any Record Date but prior to the next Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest that the Holder is to receive on the Securities; provided, however, that no such payment need be made (1) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date, (2) with respect to any Securities surrendered for conversion following the Record Date for the payment of interest immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date or (3) only to the extent of overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Securities.

Section 4.02  Make Whole Premium.

(a)                                  If a Fundamental Change occurs prior to June 1, 2015, the Company shall pay the Make Whole Premium to Holders of the Securities who convert their Securities in connection with a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 5.01(b).  The Make Whole Premium shall be paid on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date and shall be paid solely in shares of the Common Stock (other than Cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) or in the same form of consideration into which all or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock have been converted or exchanged in connection with the Fundamental Change, as described below.  The Make Whole Premium shall be equal to a percentage (the “Additional Premium”) of the principal amount of the Securities.  The Additional Premium will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any Cash, securities or other assets otherwise due to Holders of Securities upon conversion as described in this Indenture.

(b)                                 The Make Whole Premium shall be determined as follows:

(i)                  “Effective Date” means the date that a Fundamental Change becomes effective.

(ii)               “Stock Price” means the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of Common Stock in the transaction constituting the Fundamental Change, determined as follows:

(A)                      If holders of the Common Stock receive only Cash in the Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the Cash amount paid per share of Common Stock; or

(B)                        Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to but not including the Effective Date.

(iii)            Additional Premium means the percentage set forth on the relevant table below (the “Additional Premium Table”) for the Stock Price and the Effective Date:

28

Additional Premium Applicable to the Securities Upon Fundamental Change
(% of Face Value)

29

The exact Stock Price and Effective Date may not be set forth on the relevant Additional Premium Table, in which case, if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices on such Additional Premium Table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates on such Additional Premium Table, the Additional Premium shall be determined by straight-line interpolation between Additional Premium amounts set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the two Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.  The Stock Prices set forth in the column headers are subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.06.

(iv)           “Make Whole Premium” means the amount per $1,000 principal amount of Securities equal to:

(A)                      if the Stock Price is less than or equal to $42.45 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.06) (the “Stock Price Threshold”), $0;

(B)                        if the Stock Price is equal to or greater than $200.00 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.06) (the “Stock Price Cap”), $0; and

(C)                        otherwise, the dollar amount equal to the Additional Premium times $1,000 divided by 100.

(c)                                  The Company shall pay the Make Whole Premium solely in shares of Common Stock (other than Cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) or in the same form of consideration into which all or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock have been converted or exchanged in connection with the Fundamental Change.  If holders of the Common Stock receive or have the right to receive more than one form of consideration in connection with such Fundamental Change, then, for purposes of the foregoing, the forms of consideration in which the Make Whole Premium shall be paid shall be in proportion to the different forms of consideration paid to holders of Common Stock in connection with such Fundamental Change.

(d)                                 The value of the shares of Common Stock or other consideration for purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock or other consideration to be issued or delivered, as the case may be, in respect of the Make Whole Premium shall be calculated as follows:

(i)                  in the case of a Fundamental Change in which all or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock have been, as of the Effective Date, converted into or exchanged for the right to receive securities or other assets or property (including Cash), then the consideration shall be valued as follows:

(A)                      securities that are traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or approved for quotation on Nasdaq or any similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices shall be valued at 98% of the average Closing Sale Price for the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to but excluding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date,

(B)                        other securities, assets or property (other than Cash) that holders will have the right to receive shall be valued based on 98% of the average of the

30

fair market value of such securities, assets or property (other than Cash) as determined on the Business Day immediately prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date by two independent nationally recognized investment banks selected by the Trustee, and

(C)                        100% of any Cash.

(ii)               in all other cases, the value of each share of Common Stock shall equal 98% of the average Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for the 20 consecutive Trading Days prior to but excluding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the value of each share of Common Stock be less than 50% of the Stock Price used to determine the amount of the Make Whole Premium.  In addition, in no event shall the amount of the Make Whole Premium exceed 2.1438 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities or, if the Make Whole Premium is not paid in Common Stock, a proportionate number of units of the per share consideration paid to holders of Common Stock in connection with the applicable Fundamental Change, in each case subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.06.

(e)                                  A Calculation Agent appointed from time to time by the Company shall, on behalf of and on request by the Company, calculate (A) the Stock Price and (B) the Additional Premium and Make Whole Premium with respect to such Stock Price, based on the Effective Date specified by the Company, and shall deliver its calculation of the Stock Price, Additional Premium and Make Whole Premium to the Company and the Trustee within three Business Days of the request by the Company or the Trustee.  In addition, the Calculation Agent shall, on behalf of and upon request by the Company or the Trustee, make the determinations described in Section 4.02(d) above and deliver its calculations to the Company or the Trustee by 9:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.  The Company or, at the Company’s request, the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, (X) shall notify the Holders of the Stock Price and Make Whole Premium per $1,000 principal amount of Securities with respect to a Fundamental Change as part of the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice and (Y) shall notify the Holders, by registered first-class mail, promptly upon the opening of business on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date of the number of shares of Common Stock (or such other securities, assets or property (including Cash) into which all or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock have been converted as of the Effective Date as described above) to be paid in respect of the Make Whole Premium in connection with such Fundamental Change, in the manner provided in this Indenture.  Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.  The Company shall verify, in writing, all calculations made by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02(e).

(f)                                    On or prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company or an Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust) an amount of shares of Common Stock (or, in the case of a Fundamental Change in which all or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock have been, as of the Effective Date, converted into or exchanged for the right to receive securities or other assets or property (including Cash),

31

an amount of such other securities or other assets or property (including Cash)) sufficient to pay the Make Whole Premium with respect to all the Securities converted in connection with such Fundamental Change; provided that, if such payment is made on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, it must be received by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.  Payment of the Make Whole Premium for Securities surrendered for conversion within the period described in Section 5.01 shall be made promptly on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date by mailing checks in respect of Cash and otherwise delivering entitlements to securities, other assets or property for the amount payable to the Holders of such Securities entitled thereto as they shall appear in the register kept by the Registrar.

Section 4.03.  Adjustments Relating to Make Whole Premium.   Whenever the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company pursuant to Section 5.06, the Stock Price Threshold and the Stock Price Cap shall be adjusted and each of the Stock Prices set forth in each Additional Premium Table shall be adjusted.  The adjusted Stock Price Threshold, Stock Price Cap and Stock Prices set forth in each Additional Premium Table shall equal the Stock Price Threshold, Stock Price Cap and such Stock Prices, as the case may be, immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate so adjusted.

(a)                                  Subject to the further provisions of this Article 5 and paragraph 9 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 Cash and Common Stock at any time prior to the close of business on December 1, 2014, at the Conversion Price then in effect, if, as of such Conversion Date, the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the first Trading Day immediately prior to the date of surrender is more than 120% of the Conversion Price of Common Stock on the first Trading Day immediately prior to such date of surrender (the “Closing Sale Price Condition”), subject to the exceptions provided in Section 5.01(b); provided, however, that, if such Security is submitted for purchase pursuant to Article 3, such conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date for such Security or such earlier date as the Holder presents such Security for purchase (unless the Company shall default in making the Fundamental Change 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).

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

32

A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 3.01(c) exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted only if such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to a Paying Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date in accordance with Section 3.02.

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 5.

(b)                                 Even if the Closing Sale Price Condition is not satisfied,

(i)                  if, after any five consecutive Trading Day period, the average of the Trading Prices for the Securities for that five-Trading Day period was less than 100% of the average of the Conversion Values for the Securities during that period, a holder may surrender Securities for conversion at any time during the following 10 Trading Days;

(ii)               in the event that the Company declares

(A)                      a dividend or distribution of any rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share (as defined in Section 5.06(d)) on the record date for such dividend or distribution (other than a distribution of rights by the Company to its stockholders pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of January 1, 1999, between the Company and StockTrans, Inc., as Rights Agent, and any successor or similar stockholders rights plan until the occurrence of a triggering event under such plan), or

(B)                        a dividend or distribution of cash, debt securities (or other evidences of indebtedness) or other assets (excluding dividends or distributions for which Conversion Price adjustment is required to be made under Section 5.06(a) or 5.06(b) of this Indenture) where the fair market value of such dividend or distribution per share of Common Stock, as determined in this Indenture, together with all other such dividends and distributions within the preceding twelve months, exceeds 10% of the Current Market Price of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of declaration for such dividend or distribution, then the Securities may be surrendered for conversion beginning on the date the Company gives notice to the Holders of such right, which shall not be less than 30 days prior to the ex-dividend time for such dividend or distribution, until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the ex-dividend time or until the Company announces that such distribution will not take place;

33

(iii)            upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change with respect to the Company, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the date which is 40 days prior to the anticipated effective time of the Fundamental Change as announced by the Company, which announcement must occur, to the extent practicable, not earlier than 70 days nor later than 40 days prior to such anticipated effective time, until the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date; and

(iv)           at any time after December 1, 2014 and prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion regardless of whether any of the foregoing conditions has been satisfied.

(c)                                  If a Holder converts Securities at any time beginning 40 days before the scheduled Effective Date of any Fundamental Change and ending at the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, such Holder shall receive:

(i)                  (A) if such Securities are surrendered for conversion at any time beginning twenty-five Trading Days before the date of payment of consideration in connection with a Change in Control, Cash and, with respect to the portion of the Conversion Obligation for any Trading Day during the Conversion Period in excess of $50.00 (if any), the kind of securities and other assets or property (including Cash) received by holders of the Common Stock in such Change in Control; or

(B) in all other events, Cash or a combination of Cash and Common Stock, in the same manner as described in Section 5.05; plus

(ii)               the Make Whole Premium, if any, which shall be in an amount and form determined as set forth in Article 4, and shall be paid on the relevant Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

(d)                                 If holders of the Common Stock receive or have the right to receive more than one form of consideration in connection with a Fundamental Change, then, for purposes of the foregoing, the forms of consideration in which the Daily Net Share Settlement Value shall be paid shall be in proportion to the different forms of consideration paid to holders of Common Stock in connection with such Fundamental Change.

Section 5.02.  Conversion Procedure.

The right to convert any Security may be exercised, if such Security is represented by a Global Security, by book-entry transfer to the Conversion Agent (which initially shall be the Trustee) through the facilities of the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures or, if such Security is represented by a Certificated Security, by delivery of such Security at the specified office of the Conversion Agent, accompanied, in either case, by (a) a completed and duly signed conversion notice, in the form as set forth on the reverse of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Conversion Notice”); (b) if the Security is represented by a Certificated

34

Security and such Certificated Security has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, a notice to the Conversion Agent in accordance with Section 2.07 regarding the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Security; (c) appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent; and (d) payment of any tax or duty, in accordance with Section 5.04, which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue or delivery of the Common Stock in the name of a Person other than the Holder of the Security.  The “Conversion Date” shall be the Business Day on which the Holder satisfies all of the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, if all such requirements shall have been satisfied by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day, and in all other cases, the Conversion Date shall be the next succeeding Business Day; however, if a Holder surrenders for conversion a Security at any time after the twenty-fifth scheduled Trading Day prior to the Final Maturity Date, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be the Business Day immediately preceding such Security s Final Maturity Date.  On the third Business Day following the last day of the related Conversion Period, subject to Section 5.05, 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 (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 5.03).

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 for the 20 Trading Days immediately following 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 dividends or distributions on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security.

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 5.03.  Fractional Shares.

The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities.  In lieu thereof, the Company will deliver a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate of the fractional shares otherwise deliverable for each Trading Day during the Conversion Period (rounding down to the nearest whole number) and cash equal to the remainder multiplied by the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the last day of the Conversion Period.

35

Section 5.04.  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 5.05.  Payment Upon Conversion.

(a)                                  In the event that the Company receives a Holder’s Conversion Notice:

(i)                  For each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities surrendered for conversion, the Company shall be required to pay to such Holder the aggregate of the following (the “Conversion Obligation”) for each of the twenty Trading Days beginning on the third Trading Day following the Conversion Date (such twenty Trading Day period, a “Conversion Period”):

(A)                      if the Daily Conversion Value (as defined below) for such Trading Day for each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities exceeds $50.00, (1) a Cash payment of $50.00 and (2) the remaining Daily Conversion Value (the “Daily Net Share Settlement Value”) in shares of Common Stock; or

(B)                        if the Daily Conversion Value for such Trading Day for each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities is less than or equal to $50.00, a Cash payment equal to the Daily Conversion Value.

(C)                        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder surrenders for conversion a Security at any time after the twenty-fifth scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date, (i) the Conversion Date will be deemed to be the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date, (ii) the Conversion Period for such conversion will be the twenty Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day immediately following the Final Maturity Date, (iii) in lieu of receiving any Cash payments as set forth pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, a Cash payment of $1,000 per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities surrendered and (iv) on the third Business Day following the last day of such Conversion Period, an amount of shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to the aggregate of, for each Trading Day during the Conversion Period, any Daily Conversion Value in excess of $50.00 pursuant to clause (ii) below.

(ii)               The amount to be paid to a converting Holder shall be computed in accordance with the following:

36

(A)                      The “Daily Conversion Value” for each Trading Day during the Conversion Period for each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities is equal to one-twentieth of the product of the then applicable Conversion Rate multiplied by the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock (or such other form of consideration into which the Common Stock has been converted in connection with a Fundamental Change) on such Trading Day.

(B)                        The number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered under Section 5.05(a)(i)(A)(2) or 5.05(a)(i)(C) shall be determined by dividing the Daily Net Share Settlement Value by the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock (or such other form of consideration into which the Common Stock has been converted in connection with a Fundamental Change) for such Trading Day.

(C)                        For purposes of this Section 5.05, “Volume Weighted Average Price” per share of Common Stock (or any security into which the Common Stock has been converted in connection with a Fundamental Change) on any Trading Day means the volume weighted average price on the principal exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock (or such other security) is then listed or traded, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on that Trading Day as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg Page CEPH Equity AQR (or the Bloomberg Page for any security into which the Common Stock has been converted in connection with a Fundamental Change), or if such Volume Weighted Average Price is not available, the Board of Directors’ reasonable, good faith estimate of the volume weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock (or other security) on such Trading Day.

(D)                       Solely for purposes of valuing any non-cash consideration received by holders of Common Stock in any Change in Control, to the extent any component of such non-cash consideration is not listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange or reported on Nasdaq, the value of such non-cash consideration will be determined by two nationally recognized investment banks selected by the Trustee and, to the extent any component of such non-cash consideration is listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange or reported on Nasdaq, the value of such non-cash consideration will be determined by reference to its Volume Weighted Average Price.

(b)                                 The Company shall, prior to the issuance of any Securities hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve at all times and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of all of the Securities.

(c)                                  All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Securities shall be newly issued shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free of any preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

37

(d)                                 The Company shall endeavor to comply with all applicable securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and shall list or cause to have quoted such shares of Common Stock on each national securities exchange or on Nasdaq or other over-the-counter market or such other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted; provided, however, that, if the rules of such automated quotation system or exchange permit the Company to defer the listing of such Common Stock until the first conversion of the Securities into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with the requirements of such automated quotation system or exchange at such time. Any Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security hereunder which at the time of conversion was a Restricted Security shall also be a Restricted Security.

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall give to any Holder any rights as a creditor in respect of its right to conversion.

Section 5.06.  Adjustment of Conversion Price.

The conversion price as stated in paragraph 9 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 record date of such event or the happening of such event (assuming such Security were convertible solely into shares of Common Stock, based on the relevant Conversion Price, rather than Cash or Cash and Common Stock as set forth in Section 5.05).  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 or 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 commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 60 days after such record date) 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 5.06) 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

38

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 5.06) 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 non-cash assets (including securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (1) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (2) dividends or distributions referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 5.06), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 5.06 and also excluding the distribution of rights to all holders of Common Stock pursuant to the adoption of a stockholders rights plan or the detachment of such rights under the terms of such stockholder rights plan), 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 5.06) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash 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 5.06) 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 shareholders 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 non-cash 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 non-cash 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

39

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 5.06(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.

In the event that the Company implements a preferred shares rights plan (“Rights Plan”), upon conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, to the extent that the Rights Plan has been implemented and is still in effect upon such conversion, the holders of Securities will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights described therein (whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion), subject to the limitations set forth in the Rights Plan.  Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a Rights Plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to this Section 5.06(c).

Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):  (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.06 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 5.06 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 5.06(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 5.06 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.

40

(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 dividends and distributions, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by dividing such Conversion Price in effect on the record date with respect to such Cash dividend or distribution 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 5.06) as of the day before the “ex” date with respect to the dividend or distribution, 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 5.06) as of the day before the “ex” date with respect to the dividend or distribution less the amount per share of the Cash dividend or distribution, such decrease to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date on which the Triggering Distribution is paid; provided, however, that, in the event the portion of the Triggering Distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on such record date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Cash 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 Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(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 by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) that exceeds an amount equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 5.06) 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”), 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

41

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 5.06) 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 5.06) 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 5.06(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 5.06(c)(2).

(3)                                  For purposes of this Section 5.06(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 5.06, the current market price (the “Current Market Price”) shall mean, with respect to any date of determination, the average of the Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the three consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of determination.  For purposes hereof, the term “ex” date, when used with respect to any dividend or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades, regular way, on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Sale Price was obtained without the right to receive such dividend or distribution.

(e)                                  In any case in which this Section 5.06 shall require that an adjustment be made following a record date or Expiration Date, as the case may be, established for purposes of this

42

Section 5.06, 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 5.09) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such record 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, or Cash payable, upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which, or Cash the payment 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 or Cash, as the case may be.  If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required to be made as of the record 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 Expiration Date had not occurred.

Section 5.07.  No Adjustment.

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 5.07 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations under this Article 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

Except as otherwise provided herein, no adjustment need be made for issuances of Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest or for a change in the par value or a change to no par value of the Common Stock.

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 5.08.  Adjustment for Tax Purposes.

The Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by Section 5.06, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any tax to stockholders in connection with 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.

Section 5.09.  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

43

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 5.10.  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 shareholders 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 5.10.

Section 5.11.  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 5.06); (b) any consolidation or merger or combination to which the Company is a party other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than 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) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (c) any sale or conveyance as an entirety or substantially as an entirety 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 cash and, with respect to the portion of the Conversion Obligation in excess (if any) of the principal amount of Securities being converted, 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.  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 5.  If, in the case of any such consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other

44

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 5.11 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 5.11, 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 5.12.  Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 5 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 5.09.  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 5.

The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 5.11, 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 5.11.

Section 5.13.  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 or to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of shares of our Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of stock or similar event, 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 6
SUBORDINATION

Section 6.01.  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 6; 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, and premium, if any, the cash portion of the Conversion Obligation, if any, and interest on, all Securities (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to 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. The Securities shall rank senior to all Subordinated Indebtedness and equal in right of payment to all Senior Subordinated Indebtedness.  ‘‘Senior Subordinated Indebtedness’’ means, with respect to the Company, the Securities and any other Indebtedness that specifically provides that such Indebtedness is to have the same rank as the Securities in right of payment and is not subordinated by its terms in right of payment to any Indebtedness of other obligations of the Company that is not Senior Indebtedness.  “Subordinated Indebtedness’’ means, with respect to the Company, any Indebtedness that provides pursuant to the terms of the instruments creating such Indebtedness that such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Securities, including, but not limited to, the Company’s 2 ½% Convertible Subordinated Notes due December 2006, the Company’s Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2033, first putable 2008, and the Company’s Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2033, first putable 2010.

No provision of this Article 6 shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder.

Section 6.02.  Payments to Holders.

No payment shall be made with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, the cash portion of the Conversion Obligation, if any, or interest on, the Securities (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to 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 6.05, if:

(i)                  a default in the payment of principal, premium, interest, rent or other obligations due on any Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of 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

46

evidencing such 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 any 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 such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Company.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.05, 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 and all scheduled payments on the Securities that have come due have been paid in full in cash.  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, if the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness has not been accelerated, unless this Article 6 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 payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before any payment is made on account of the principal of, and premium, if any, the cash portion of the Conversion Obligation, if any, or interest on, the Securities (except payments made pursuant to Article 11 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 6, 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

47

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 6, 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 6 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 its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article 8 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 6.02 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions stated in Article 8.

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, and premium, if any, the cash portion of the Conversion Obligation, if any, or interest on, the Securities by the Company (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to purchase in accordance with Article 3 as provided in this Indenture), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by Section 6.05, 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 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

48

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 6.02 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 10.07.  This Section 6.02 shall be subject to the further provisions of Section 6.05.

Section 6.03.  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 6 (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 of, and premium, if any, the cash portion of the Conversion Obligation, if any, and interest 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 6, and no payment over, pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6, 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 6, 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 6 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 6 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, the cash portion of the Conversion Obligation, if any, and any interest 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

49

applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 6 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 6, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.01, 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 6.

Section 6.04.  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 6 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 6.03 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 6.05.  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 6.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 6 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 6, 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 10.01, 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, or interest on, any Security) the Trustee shall not have received, with respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 6.05, 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 6 to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any

50

payment by the Trustee to the Holders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Article 11, and any such payment shall not be subject to the provisions of Article 6.

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.01, 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 6, 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 6, 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 6.06.  Trustee’s Relation to Senior Indebtedness.

The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 6 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 10.11 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 6, 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 10.01, 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 6 or otherwise.

Section 6.07.  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 6.08.  Certain Conversions Deemed Payment.

For the purposes of this Article 6 only, (1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of Securities in accordance with Article 5 shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of, or premium, if any, the cash portion of the

51

Conversion Obligation, if any, or interest on, Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities, and (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except in satisfaction of fractional shares pursuant to Section 5.03), property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of a Security shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of such Security.  For the purposes of this Section 6.08, 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 6 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 5.

Section 6.09.  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 6.05 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

Section 6.10.  Senior Indebtedness Entitled to Rely.

The holders of Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Designated Senior Indebtedness) shall have the right to rely upon this Article 6, and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of such holders unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto.

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).

(b)                                 the Company defaults in the payment of any principal of (including, without limitation, any premium, if any, on), or any Make Whole Premium, if any, on, any Security when the same becomes due and payable (whether at maturity, on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or otherwise), whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the provisions of Article 6 hereof;

55

(g)                                 any indebtedness under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (all or substantially all of the outstanding voting securities of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company) 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 (all or substantially all of the outstanding voting securities of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company) (an “Instrument”) with a principal amount then outstanding in excess of U.S.$10,000,000, 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  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

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

(i)                  commences a voluntary case or proceeding;

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

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

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”

56

means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

A default under clause (c) 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 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 9.01 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 9.01 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 9.02.  Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 9.01) occurs and is continuing with respect to any Securities, the Trustee may, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities  then outstanding may, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, declare all unpaid principal to the date of acceleration on the Securities  then outstanding (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 (g) or (h) of Section 9.01 occurs, all unpaid principal of the Securities 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 by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration of Securities  and its consequences if (a) all existing Events of Default, 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 (calculated at the rate of 2½% per annum) on overdue installments of interest 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 10.07 have been made.  No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 9.03.  Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities occurs and is continuing, 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 any interest on, or any Make Whole Premium on, the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the 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

57

remedy is exclusive of any other remedy.  All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 9.04.  Waiver of Defaults and Events of Default.

Subject to Section 9.07 and 12.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities  then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing default or Event of Default and its consequence, except a default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, or the Make Whole Premium, if any, on, any Security, 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 12.02, 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 9.05.  Control by Majority.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it.  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 9.06.  Limitations on Suits.

A Holder of a Security may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities (except actions for payment of overdue principal, interest or Make Whole Premium or for the conversion of the Securities pursuant to Article 5) unless:

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

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

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

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

(e)                                  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.

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.

58

Section 9.07.  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, and interest on, and the Make Whole Premium, 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 5 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 9.08.  Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default in the payment of principal, premium, interest or the Make Whole Premium, if any, specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 9.01 occurs and is continuing, 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, premium and accrued interest remaining unpaid and the Make Whole Premium, if any, together with, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue principal, on overdue premium, on overdue installments of interest and on overdue Make Whole Premium, if any, in each case at the rate of 2½% 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 9.09.  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 10.07, 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.

59

Section 9.10.  Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 9, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First, to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 10.07;

Second, to the holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent required by Article 6;

Third, to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, interest, and Make Whole Premium, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, interest, and Make Whole Premium, 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 9.10.

Section 9.11.  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 9.11 does not apply to a suit made by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 9.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

60

which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be delivered to the Trustee to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

Section 10.05.  Notice of Default or Events of Default.

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 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, except in the case of a default or an Event of Default in payment of the principal of, or interest or premium on, or the Make Whole Premium on, any Security.

Section 10.06.  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 March 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2) and (c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed.  The Company shall notify the Trustee whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange or listed or admitted to trading on any quotation system and any changes in the stock exchanges or quotation systems on which the Securities are listed or admitted to trading and of any delisting thereof.

The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may, with the Company’s written consent, appoint a successor Trustee.  The Company may remove the Trustee if:

(a)                                  the Trustee fails to comply with Section 10.10;

(c)                                  a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(d)                                 the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.  The resignation or removal of a Trustee shall not be effective until a successor Trustee shall have delivered the written acceptance of its appointment as described below.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 45 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Company.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 10.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee and be released from its obligations (exclusive of any liabilities that the retiring Trustee may have incurred while acting as Trustee) hereunder, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the

64

successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder.

A retiring Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Trustee after its succession.

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 10.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 10.09.  Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets (including the administration of this Indenture) to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation, without any further act, shall be the successor Trustee, provided such transferee corporation shall qualify and be eligible under Section 10.10.  Such successor Trustee shall promptly mail notice of its succession to the Company and each Holder.

Section 10.10.  Eligibility; Disqualification.

The Trustee shall always satisfy the requirements of paragraphs (1), (2) and (5) of TIA Section 310(a).  The Trustee (or its parent holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.  If at any time the Trustee shall cease to satisfy any such requirements, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article 10.  The Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of TIA Section 310(b).  Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the SEC the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of TIA Section 310(b).

Section 10.11.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b).  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

66

The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium or interest 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 11.04.  Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 11.02 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 11.01(b) until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 11.02; provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of the principal of, or interest or premium 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 12

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

Section 12.02.  With Consent of Holders.

The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Securities  or this Indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities  then outstanding.  The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities  then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of the Securities  or this Indenture without notice to any Securityholder.  However, notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 12.04, without the written consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 9.04, may not:

(a)                                  change the stated maturity of the principal of, or the date the Make Whole Premium or any installment of interest is due on, any Security;

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

(c)                                  reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the maturity of any Security;

(d)                                 reduce the Make Whole Premium payable, if any, on any Security;

(e)                                  change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or any premium, Make Whole Premium (to the extent that such Make Whole Premium is payable in Cash) or interest on, any Security;

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

(g)                                 modify the provisions with respect to the purchase right of Holders pursuant to Article 3 upon a Fundamental Change;

(h)                                 modify the subordination provisions of Article 6 in a manner materially adverse to the Holders of Securities;

(i)                                     adversely affect the right of Holders to convert Securities other than as provided in or under Article 5 of this Indenture;

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

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

(l)                                     modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 9.04, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby.

68

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 12.02 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 this Section 12.02 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 12.02 or under Section 12.01 may not make any change that adversely affects the rights under Article 6 of any holder of an issue of Senior Indebtedness unless the holders of that issue, pursuant to its terms, consent to the change.

Section 12.03.  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 12.04.  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, it shall bind every applicable Securityholder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (a) through (l) of Section 12.02.  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 12.05.  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 12.06.  Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 12 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,

69

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 10.01, 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 12.07.  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.
