In the case of any conflict or ambiguity between the terms of the Indenture and the terms of this Note, the terms of the Indenture shall be controlling.
In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid Interest on all Notes may be declared by either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, and, subject to certain exceptions, any past Default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes. However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected, no amendment may, among other things:
(i) | to make provision to reduce the amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment; |
(ii) | reduce the rate, or extend the stated time for payment, of Interest on any Note or reduce the amount, or extend the stated time for payment, of the Extension Fee; |
(iii) | reduce the principal, or extend the stated maturity, of any Note; |
(iv) | make any change that adversely affects the conversion rights of any Notes; |
6
(v) | reduce the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any Note or amend or modify in any manner adverse to the holders of Notes the Companys obligation to make such payments, whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise; |
(vi) | change the place or currency of payment of principal or Interest or Extension Fee in respect of any Note; |
(vii) | impair the right of any holder to receive payment of principal of and Interest on such holders Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holders Notes; |
(viii) | adversely affect the ranking of the Notes as the Companys senior unsecured indebtedness; or |
(ix) | make any change in the amendment provisions which require each holders consent or in the waiver provisions; |
Without the consent of any holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture to:
(1) (x) cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision, or (y) make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under the Indenture that (in the case of clause (y)) shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders;
(2) provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the Companys obligations under the Indenture;
(3) add guarantees with respect to the Notes;

7
(9) to increase, from time to time, the per annum Interest rate on the Notes for any period; or
(10) evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment of a successor trustee under the Indenture.
The consent of the holders is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. After an amendment under the Indenture becomes effective, the Company is required to issue a notice to the holders briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all the holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and Interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
The Notes are issuable in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or exchange of Notes, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any other authorized denominations.
The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to June 8, 2014. At any time on and after June 8, 2014 and prior to maturity, the Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to the holders of Notes at their last registered addresses, all as provided in the Indenture, at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and accrued and unpaid Interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided that if the redemption date falls after a record date and on or prior the corresponding Interest Payment Date, then accrued and unpaid Interest to, but excluding, the redemption date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the holders of record of such Notes on the applicable record date instead of to the holders surrendering such Notes for redemption on such date and the redemption price payable to the holder who presents the Note for redemption will be 100% of the principal amount of such Note and will not include any Interest.
8
The Company may not give notice of any redemption of the Notes if a default in the payment of Interest on the Notes has occurred and is continuing or if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date.
The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund.
If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to maturity of the Notes, the Company shall become obligated to purchase, at the option of the holder, all or any portion of the Notes held by such holder, on a date specified by the Company that is not less than twenty (20) and not more than thirty (30) days after notice thereof at a cash repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid Interest, on such Note up to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; provided that if the repurchase date falls after a record date and on or prior the corresponding Interest Payment Date, then accrued and unpaid Interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the holders of record of such Notes on the record date immediately preceding the repurchase date instead of to the holders surrendering such Notes for repurchase on such date and the repurchase price payable to the holder who presents the Note for repurchase will be 100% of the principal amount and will not include any Interest. The Notes will be subject to repurchase in multiples of $1,000 principal amount. The Company shall mail to all holders of record of the Notes a notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof on or before the fifteenth (15th) day after the occurrence of such Fundamental Change. To exercise such right, a holder shall deliver to the Company such Note with the form entitled Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice on the reverse thereof duly completed, together with the Note, duly endorsed for transfer, at any time prior to the close of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, and shall deliver the Notes to the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the Company) as set forth in the Indenture.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase, at the option of the holder, all or any portion of the Notes held by such holder on June 1 of 2014, 2017 and 2022 in whole multiples of $1,000 at a cash repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid Interest, on such Note up to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date. However, if the repurchase date occurs after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid Interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date to the record holder on the record date immediately preceding the repurchase date and the repurchase price payable to the holder who presents the Note for repurchase will be 100% of the principal amount and will not include any Interest. To exercise such right, a holder shall deliver to the Company such Note with the form entitled Repurchase Notice on the reverse thereof duly completed, together with the Note, duly endorsed for transfer, at any time from the opening of business on the
9
date that is 20 Business Days prior to such Repurchase Date until the close of business on the date that is two Business Days prior to the Repurchase Date, and shall deliver the Notes to the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the Company) as set forth in the Indenture.
Holders have the right to withdraw any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or the Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, by delivering to the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the Company) a written notice of withdrawal up to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or up to the close of business on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, all as provided in the Indenture.
If money or cash sufficient to pay the repurchase price of all Notes or portions thereof to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, is deposited with the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the Company), on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, Interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or portions thereof) immediately after such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Repurchase Date, as the case may be, and the holder thereof shall have no other rights as such other than the right to receive the repurchase price upon surrender of such Note.
In compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, (1) subject to the prior redemption or repurchase of the Notes and to the occurrence of certain events, at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding March 1, 2014 and at any time on or after June 8, 2014 and prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding March 1, 2027 and (2) subject to prior redemption or repurchase of the Notes, during the periods (i) on or after March 1, 2014 and at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding June 8, 2014 and (ii) on or after March 1, 2027 and at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, regardless of the occurrence of the events referred to in clause (1) of this paragraph, the holder hereof has the right, at its option, to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes into 33.3333 shares of the Common Stock (a conversion price of approximately $30.00 per share) (or into cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, if the Company so elects), as such shares shall be constituted at the date of conversion and subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this Note with the form entitled Conversion Notice on the reverse thereof duly completed, to the Company at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, or at the option of such holder, the Corporate Trust Office, and, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as this Note, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the holder or by his duly authorized attorney. The Company will notify the holder thereof of any event triggering the right to convert the Notes as specified above in accordance with the Indenture.
10
No adjustment in respect of Interest on any Note converted or dividends on any shares issued upon conversion of such Note will be made upon any conversion except as set forth in the next sentence. If Notes are converted after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a record date, holders of such Notes as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the record date shall receive the Interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any regular record date to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the Interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided, however, that no such payment need be made (i) if the Company has specified a redemption date or a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (ii) to the extent of any overdue Interest existing at the time of conversion with respect to such Note; or (iii) with respect to any Conversion Date that occurs during the period from the close of business on the regular record date immediately preceding the Maturity Date to the Maturity Date.
No fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment and payment in cash will be made, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Note or Notes for conversion.
A Note in respect of which a holder is exercising its right to require repurchase upon a Fundamental Change or repurchase on a Repurchase Date may be converted only if such holder withdraws its election to exercise either such right in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
Any Notes called for redemption, unless surrendered for conversion by the holders thereof on or before the close of business on the Business Day preceding the redemption date, may be deemed to be redeemed from the holders of such Notes for an amount equal to the applicable redemption price, together with accrued but unpaid Interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, by one or more investment banks or other purchasers who may agree with the Company (i) to purchase such Notes from the holders thereof and convert them into shares of the Companys Common Stock and (ii) to make payment for such Notes as aforesaid to the Trustee in trust for the holders.
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange thereof, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

All payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, satisfy and discharge liability for monies payable on this Note.
No recourse for the payment of the principal of or Interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
