(b) the principal amount of Notes in respect of which the Change in Control Purchase Notice is being withdrawn, which must be an integral multiple of $1,000;

(c) if the Notes subject to the notice of withdrawal are in certificated form, the certificate number(s) of all Notes subject to the notice of withdrawal; and

(d) the principal amount of Notes, if any, that remains subject to the Change in Control Purchase Notice, which must be an integral multiple of $1,000.

If Notes subject to the notice of withdrawal are in book-entry form, the above notices must also comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary.

On or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Change in Control Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the aggregate Change in Control Purchase Price of the Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.09. If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, money sufficient to pay the Change in Control Purchase Price of such Notes on the Change in Control Purchase Date, then, on and after such date, such Notes shall cease to be Outstanding and interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue on the day prior to such date and all rights of the Holders of such Notes shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Change in Control Purchase Price after delivery or transfer of the Notes). Such will be the case whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes in book-entry form is made and whether or not Notes in certificated form, together with the necessary endorsements, are delivered to the Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.09 if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than a default in the payment of the Change in Control Purchase Price).

The Company may arrange for a third party to purchase Notes for which the Company has received a valid Change in Control Purchase Notice that has not been properly withdrawn, in the manner and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein and in the Notes (including, without limitation, any applicable restrictions on transfer); provided that the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee of such third party arrangement not less than one Business Day prior to the Change in Control Purchase Date, which notice shall, at a minimum, identify such third party and identify the Notes to be so purchased (and which shall remain Outstanding as provided in the next sentence). If a third party purchases any Notes under such circumstances, then interest will continue to accrue on the Notes and such Notes will continue to be Outstanding after the Change in Control Purchase Date for all purposes of the Indenture and will be fungible with all other Notes then Outstanding.

Section 2.10. Make Whole Amount. If a Change in Control occurs prior to March 20, 2012 as a result of a transaction or event described in clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of Change in Control and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.11(d) hereof, the Company shall increase the applicable Conversion Rate for such Notes surrendered for conversion by a number of additional Common Shares (the “Additional Shares”) as specified below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such a Change in Control if the notice of conversion of the Notes is received by the Conversion Agent on any date from and including the date that is the Effective Date (as defined below) of such Change in Control up to and including the 30th Business Day following the Effective Date of such Change in Control.

The number of Additional Shares will be determined by reference to the table below and is based on the date on which such Change in Control transaction becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Share Price”) paid per Common Share in such Change in Control transaction. If holders of Common Shares receive only cash in a Change in Control transaction, the Share Price shall be the cash amount paid per Common Share. In all other cases, the Share Price shall be the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Shares on the 10 consecutive Trading Days up to but excluding the Effective Date.

The Share Prices set forth in the first row of the table (i.e., the column headers) will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted. The adjusted Share Prices will equal the Share Prices applicable 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 the Share Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. In addition, the number of Additional Shares will be subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 hereof.

The following table sets forth the Share Price and number of Additional Shares to be received per $1,000 principal amount of Notes:

Effective	Share Price
Date	$43.61	$50.00	$55.00	$60.00	$65.00	$70.00	$75.00	$80.00
March 7, 2007	3.1287	1.5479	0.8382	0.4187	0.1867	0.0708	0.0218	0.0039
March 15, 2008	3.1287	1.5656	0.8236	0.3909	0.1603	0.0531	0.0130	0.0010
March 15, 2009	3.1287	1.5316	0.7658	0.3337	0.1194	0.0318	0.0042	0.0000
March 15, 2010	3.1287	1.4304	0.6505	0.2419	0.0661	0.0105	0.0000	0.0000
March 15, 2011	3.1287	1.1826	0.4199	0.1012	0.0124	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000
March 20, 2012	3.1287	0.1982	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000

The exact Share Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table, in which case:

(a) if the Share Price is between two Share Price amounts in the table or the Effective Date is between two dates in the table, the Additional Shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Share Price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(b) if the Share Price is equal to or in excess of $80.00 per Common Share (subject to adjustment as specified in the preceding paragraph), no Additional Shares will be issued upon a conversion of Notes; and

(c) if the Share Price is less than $43.61 per Common Share (subject to adjustment as specified in the second preceding paragraph), no Additional Shares will be issued upon a conversion of Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of Common Shares issuable upon a conversion of Notes exceed 22.9305 Common Shares per $1,000 principal

amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof.

Section 2.11. Conversion Rights.

Subject to the restrictions on ownership of the Common Shares as set forth in Section 2.15 hereof and to the conditions set forth herein, Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion for cash and, if applicable, Common Shares, at the applicable Conversion Rate prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity of the Notes at any time on or after March 15, 2026 and also under any of the circumstances set forth in this Section 2.11.

(a) Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Market Price Condition. A Holder may surrender any of its Notes for conversion during any calendar quarter beginning after June 30, 2007 (and only during such calendar quarter) if, and only if, the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the preceding calendar quarter is more than 130% of the Conversion Price per Common Share in effect on the applicable Trading Day. The Board of Trustees of the Company shall make appropriate adjustments, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the ex dividend date of the event occurs, during that 30 consecutive Trading-Day period.

(b) Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Trading Price Condition. A Holder may surrender any of its Notes for conversion during the five consecutive Trading Day period following any five consecutive Trading Days in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (as determined following a reasonable request by a Holder of the Notes) was less than 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares multiplied by the Conversion Rate.

The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless the Company shall have requested in writing that the Trustee make such determination, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder provides the Company with written reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares and the Conversion Rate, whereupon the Company shall request in writing that the Trustee determine the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares and the Conversion Rate.

(c) Conversion Upon Notice of Redemption. A Holder may surrender for conversion any of the Notes called for redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time. The right to convert Notes pursuant to this clause (c) will expire after the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption. A Holder may convert fewer than all of its Notes so long as the Notes converted are an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount and the remaining principal amount of Notes is in an authorized denomination. However, if a Holder has

already delivered an Optional Repurchase Notice or a Change in Control Purchase Notice with respect to a Note, such Holder may not surrender such Note for conversion until it has withdrawn such notice in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.08 or 2.09 hereof, as the case may be.

(d) Conversion Upon Specified Transactions. If the Company elects to:

(i) distribute to all holders of Common Shares rights entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 45 days, Common Shares at less than the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of the distribution; or

(ii) distribute to all holders of Common Shares assets, debt securities or certain rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Trustees in good faith) exceeding 15% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of such distribution,

the Company shall notify the Holders of the Notes in writing at least 20 days prior to the ex dividend date for such distribution. Following the giving of such notice, Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the third Business Day immediately prior to the ex dividend date or an announcement that such distribution will not take place; provided, however, that a Holder may not exercise this right to convert if the Holder may participate, on an as-converted basis (assuming for such purposes that the Notes are convertible solely into Common Shares at the then applicable Conversion Rate), in the distribution without a conversion of Notes. The ex dividend date is the first date upon which a sale of the Common Shares does not automatically transfer the right to receive the relevant distribution from the seller of Common Shares to its buyer.

In addition, if the Company is party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange pursuant to which all of the Common Shares would be exchanged for cash, securities or other property that is not otherwise a Change in Control, a Holder may surrender Notes for conversion at any time from and including the date that is 15 Business Days prior to the Effective Date of the transaction up to and including five Business Days after the actual date of such transaction. The Company shall notify Holders as promptly as practicable following the date it publicly announces such transaction (but in no event less than 15 Business Days prior to the anticipated effective time of such transaction).

If a Change in Control occurs as a result of a transaction described in clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of “Change in Control,” a Holder will have the right to convert its Notes at any time from and including the Effective Date of such transaction up to and including the 30th Business Day following the Effective Date of the transaction, subject to expiration of a Holder’s conversion right with respect to any Notes submitted for repurchase, provided that, if a Holder has already delivered an Optional Repurchase Notice or a Change in Control Purchase Notice with respect to a Note, such Holder may not surrender such Note for conversion until it has withdrawn such notice in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.08 or 2.09 hereof, as the case may be. The Company will notify Holders as promptly as practicable

following the date that it publicly announces such Change in Control (but in no event later than five Business Days prior to the Effective Date of such Change in Control).

If the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange (including, without limitation, by way of a recapitalization, reclassification or change of Common Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination) or a sale, lease or transfer to a third party of the Company’s and the Company’s subsidiaries’ consolidated assets substantially as an entirety) pursuant to which all of the Common Shares are exchanged for cash, securities or other property, then at the Effective Date of the transaction any conversion of Notes and the Conversion Value will be based on, and determined by reference to, the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property that the Holder would have received if such Holder had converted its Notes into Common Shares immediately prior to the Effective Date of the transaction. For purposes of the foregoing, where a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange involves a transaction that causes Common Shares to be exchanged into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration based upon any form of shareholder election, such consideration will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Shares that affirmatively make such an election. If a Change of Control occurs prior to March 20, 2012 as a result of a transaction described in clauses (1) or (2) of the definition thereof, the Company will adjust the Conversion Rate for Notes surrendered for conversion in connection with such a Change in Control transaction, as described in Section 2.10 hereof.

(e) Conversion Upon Delisting of the Common Shares. A Holder of Notes may surrender any of its Notes for conversion at any time beginning on the first Business Day after the Common Shares have ceased to be listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange for a 30 consecutive Trading Day period.

Section 2.12. Conversion Settlement. Upon a conversion of Notes, the Company shall deliver, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes surrendered for conversion in accordance with their terms:

(a) cash in an amount (the “Principal Return”) equal to the lesser of (1) the principal amount of the Notes surrendered for conversion and (2) the Conversion Value, and

(b) if the Conversion Value is greater than the Principal Return, an amount (the “Net Amount”) in cash or Common Shares, at the Company’s option, with an aggregate value equal to the difference between the Conversion Value and the Principal Return.

The Company may elect to deliver any portion of the Net Amount in cash (the “Net Cash Amount”) or Common Shares, and any portion of the Net Amount the Company elects to deliver in Common Shares (the “Net Shares”) will be the sum of the Daily Share Amounts for each Trading Day during the Applicable Conversion Period. Prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day following the date on which Notes are surrendered for conversion, the Company shall inform Holders of such Notes of its election to pay cash for all or a portion of the

Net Amount and, if applicable, the portion of the Net Amount that will be paid in cash and the portion that will be delivered in the form of Net Shares.

The Company shall deliver cash in lieu of any fractional Common Shares issuable in connection with payment of the Net Shares based upon the Average Price.

The “Daily Share Amount” for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes and each Trading Day in the Applicable Conversion Period is equal to the greater of:

(a) zero; and

(b) a number of Common Shares determined by the following formula:

where

CSP means the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on such Trading Day, and

CR means the applicable Conversion Rate.

The Company will determine the Conversion Value, Principal Return, Net Amount, Net Cash Amount and the number of Net Shares, as applicable, promptly after the end of the Applicable Conversion Period. The Company shall pay the Principal Return and cash in lieu of fractional shares, and deliver Net Shares or pay the Net Cash Amount, as applicable, no later than the third Business Day following the last Trading Day of the Applicable Conversion Period.

Section 2.13. Conversion Procedures. To convert Notes, a Holder must satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 2.13.

To convert the Notes, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the irrevocable conversion notice on the reverse of the Note (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent at the office maintained by the Conversion Agent for such purpose, (b) with respect to Notes which are in certificated form, surrender the Notes to the Conversion Agent, or, if the Notes are in book-entry form, comply with the appropriate procedures of the Depositary, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent, the Company or the Trustee and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. The date on which the Holder satisfies all such requirements shall be deemed to be the date on which the applicable Notes shall have been tendered for conversion.

Notes in respect of which a Holder has delivered an Optional Repurchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice may be converted only if such notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of Section 2.08 or Section 2.09, as the case may be.

In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the Holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of the surrendered Notes not surrendered for conversion. A Holder may convert fewer than all of such Holder’s Notes so long as the Notes converted are an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount.

Upon surrender of a Note for conversion by a Holder, such Holder shall deliver to the Company cash equal to the amount that the Company is required to deduct and withhold under applicable law in connection with the conversion; provided, however, if the Holder does not deliver such cash, the Company may deduct and withhold from the amount of consideration otherwise deliverable to such Holder the amount required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law.

Upon conversion of a Note, a Holder will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest (including original issue discount) on such Note, except as specified in the immediately following paragraph. Instead, upon a conversion of Notes, the Company will deliver to the surrendering Holder only the consideration specified in Section 2.12. Delivery of cash and Common Shares, if any, upon a conversion of Notes will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest (including original issue discount) thereon. Accordingly, upon a conversion of Notes, any accrued and unpaid interest (including original issue discount) will be deemed paid in full from cash and then from Common Shares, if applicable, rather than such interest being cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. In no event will the Conversion Rate be adjusted to account for accrued and unpaid interest (including original issue discount) on the Notes.

Holders of Notes at the close of business on a Regular Record Date for an interest payment will receive payment of interest payable on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such Notes at any time after the close of business on the applicable Regular Record Date. Notes surrendered for conversion by a Holder after the close of business on any Regular Record Date for an interest payment and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest that such Holder is to receive on such Notes on such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that no such payment shall be required to be made (1) if such Notes have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to such Interest Payment Date or (2) with respect to overdue interest (including Additional Interest), if any overdue interest is due and owing at the time of conversion with respect to such Notes.

Upon conversion of a Note, the Company, if it elects to deliver Net Shares, will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of the Net Shares upon such conversion unless the tax is due because the Holder requests the Net Shares to be issued or delivered to a Person other than the Holder, in which case the Holder must pay the tax due prior to the delivery of such Net Shares. Certificates representing Common Shares will not be issued or delivered unless all taxes and duties, if any, payable by the Holder have been paid.

A Holder of Notes, as such, shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Shares. Such Holder shall only acquire such rights upon the delivery by the Company, at its option, of Net Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 upon a conversion of Notes by a Holder.

If a Holder converts more than one Note at the same time, the number of Net Shares, if any, issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the total principal amount of the Notes surrendered for conversion.

The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Notes hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares a sufficient number of Common Shares to permit the conversion of the Notes at the applicable Conversion Rate. Any Common Shares delivered upon a conversion of Notes shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

The Company shall endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the issuance and delivery of Common Shares, if any, upon a conversion of Notes and shall cause to have listed or quoted all such Common Shares on each U.S. national securities exchange or over the counter or other domestic market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted.

Except as set forth herein, no other payment or adjustment for interest shall be made upon conversion of Notes.

In no event shall a Holder be entitled to convert Notes after the close of business on the second Business Day prior to March 15, 2027.

Section 2.14. Conversion Rate Adjustments. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(a) If the Company issues Common Shares as a dividend or distribution on Common Shares to all holders of Common Shares, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x OS1/OS0

where

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event

CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect taking such event into account

OS0 = the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event

OS1 = the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (a) shall become effective on the date that is immediately after (x) the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution or (y) the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this clause (a) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If the Company issues to all holders of Common Shares any rights, warrants, options or other securities entitling them for a period of not more than 45 days after the date of issuance thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, or if the Company issues to all holders of Common Shares securities convertible into Common Shares for a period of not more than 45 days after the date of issuance thereof, in either case at an exercise price per Common Share or a conversion price per Common Share less than the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Business Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x (OS0+X)/(OS0+Y)

where

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event

CR1 = the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account

OS0 = the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event

X = the total number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities

Y = the number of Common Shares equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities and (B) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Shares for the 10 consecutive Trading Days prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for the issuance of such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities.

For purposes of this clause (b), in determining whether any rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase, or exercise a conversion right for, Common Shares at less than the applicable Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares, and in determining the aggregate exercise or

conversion price payable for such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Trustees of the Company. If any right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security described in this clause (b) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security had not been so issued.

(c) If the Company distributes capital shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company to all holders of Common Shares, excluding:

(i) dividends, distributions, rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities referred to in clause (a) or (b) above,

(ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash, and

(iii) Spin-Offs described below in this clause (c),

then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x SP0/(SP0-FMV)

where

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event

CR1 = the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account

SP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Shares on the 10 consecutive Trading Days prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the earlier of the record date or the ex dividend date for such distribution

FMV= the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Company) of the capital shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding Common Share on the earlier of the record date or the ex dividend date for such distribution.

An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding clause shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the ex dividend date for such distribution.

If the Company distributes to all holders of Common Shares capital shares of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other

business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the date fixed for determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such distribution will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x (FMV0+MP0)/MP0

where

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event

CR1 = the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account

FMV0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the capital shares or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Shares applicable to one Common Share over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off

MP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Shares over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off.

An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding clause will occur on the 10th Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off.

If any such dividend or distribution described in this clause (c) is declared but not paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(d) If the Company pays or makes any cash dividend or distribution in respect of any of its quarterly fiscal periods (without regard to when paid) to all holders of Common Shares in an aggregate amount that, together with other cash dividends or distributions paid or made in respect of such quarterly fiscal period, exceeds the product of $0.74 (the “Reference Dividend”) multiplied by the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x SP0/(SP0-C)

where

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event

CR1 = the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account

SP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Shares on the 10 consecutive Trading Days prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the earlier of the record date or the ex dividend date for such distribution

C = the amount in cash per Common Share that the Company distributes to holders of Common Shares in respect of such quarterly fiscal period that exceeds the Reference Dividend.

An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this clause (d) shall become effective on the ex dividend date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in this clause (d) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (d), if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required to be made as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly dividend either in whole or in part, the Reference Dividend shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of determining the adjustment to the Conversion Rate as a result of such distribution.

The Reference Dividend shall be subject to adjustment in a manner that is inversely proportional to adjustments to the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that no adjustments shall be made to the Reference Dividend for any adjustment made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this clause (d).

(e) If the Company or any of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Shares to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Common Shares exceeds the Closing Sale Price of Common Shares on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”), the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x (AC + (SP1 x OS1))/(SP1 x OS0)

where

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event

CR1 = the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account

AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Trustees of the Company) paid or payable for Common Shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer

OS0 = the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires

OS1 = the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares pursuant to such tender or exchange offer)

SP1 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Shares for the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

If the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made.

Any adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this clause (e) shall become effective on the date immediately following the determination of the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Shares for purposes of SP1 above. If the Company or one of its subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but the Company or such subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to clause (d) or (e) above, in no event will the Conversion Rate exceed 22.9305 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) above.

(g) If the Company has in effect a Rights Plan while any Notes remain Outstanding, Holders of Notes will receive, upon a conversion of Notes in respect of which the Company has elected to deliver Net Shares, in addition to such Net Shares, rights under such Rights Plan unless, prior to conversion, the rights have expired, terminated or been redeemed or unless the rights have separated from the Common Shares. If the rights provided for in a Rights Plan adopted by the Company have separated from the Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of such Rights Plan so that Holders of Notes would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Shares that the Company elects to deliver as Net Shares upon conversion of Notes, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed to all holders of Common Shares capital shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property pursuant to clause (c) above, subject to readjustment upon the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the rights. In lieu of any such adjustment, the Company may amend such Rights Plan to provide that upon a conversion of Notes the Holders will receive, in addition to Common Shares that the Company elects to deliver as Net Shares upon such conversion, the rights which would have attached to such Common Shares if the rights had not become separated from the Common Shares under such Rights Plan.

In addition to the adjustments pursuant to clauses (a) through (g) above, the Company may increase the Conversion Rate in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Shares resulting from any dividend or distribution of capital shares (or rights to acquire Common Shares) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. The Company may also, from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period if the Company has determined that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company. If the Company makes such determination, it will be conclusive and the Company will mail to Holders of the Notes a notice of the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect in accordance with applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14, if the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares upon the occurrence of a specified event or events (each, a “Trigger Event”), (i) no adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.14 in respect of rights, options or warrants issued until the earliest date on which any such Trigger Event shall occur and (ii) if any right, warrant or option described in this paragraph is not exercised prior to the expiration of the exercisability thereof, the New Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant or option had not been so issued.

If, in connection with any adjustment to the Conversion Rate as set forth in this Section 2.14 a Holder shall be deemed for U.S. federal tax purposes to have received a distribution, the Company may set off any withholding tax it reasonably believes it is required to collect with respect to any such deemed distribution against cash payments of interest in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05 hereof or from cash and Common Shares, if any, otherwise deliverable to a Holder upon a conversion of Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 hereof or a redemption or repurchase of a Note in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.07, 2.08 or 2.09 hereof.

The Company will not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes are permitted to participate, on an as-converted basis (assuming for this purpose that the Notes were convertible solely into Common Shares at the then applicable Conversion Rate), in the transactions described above.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in addition to the other events set forth herein on account of which no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made, the applicable Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted for:

(i) the issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Shares under any plan;

(ii) the issuance of any Common Shares or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to, or the repurchase by the Company of Common Shares pursuant to, any present or future employee, trustee or consultant benefit plan, employee agreement or

arrangement or program of the Company or assumed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

(iii) the issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(iv) a change in the par value of the Common Shares;

(v) accumulated and unpaid dividends or distributions; and

(vi) a tender offer solely to holders of fewer than 100 Common Shares.

No adjustment in the Conversion Price will be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price. If the adjustment is not made because the adjustment does not change the Conversion Price by at least 1%, then the adjustment that is not made will be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. All required calculations will be made to the nearest cent or 1/1000th of a share, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are called for redemption, all adjustments not previously made will be made on the applicable Redemption Date.

Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, on which the Trustee may conclusively rely. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the Holders of the Notes within 20 Business Days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

For purposes of this Section 2.14, the number of Common Shares at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Common Shares.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.14 to the contrary, in no event shall the Conversion Rate be adjusted so that the Conversion Price would be less than $0.01.

Section 2.15. Ownership Limit; Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or the this Supplemental Indenture, no Holder of Notes shall be entitled to convert such Notes for Common Shares to the extent that receipt of such shares would cause such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates) to exceed any ownership limitations contained in the Declaration of Trust of the Company as in effect from time to time.

At the Maturity of the principal of the Notes, whether at Stated Maturity or upon earlier redemption or repurchase of Notes or otherwise, and as otherwise required by law, the Company

may deduct and withhold from the amount of consideration otherwise deliverable to such Holder the amount required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law.

Section 2.16. Merger, Consolidation or Sale.

Section 801 of the Indenture is modified for purposes of the Notes, to add the following as clause (iii):

“and (iii) if as a result of such transaction the Notes become exchangeable into Common Shares or other securities issued by a third party, such third party shall assume or fully and unconditionally guarantee all obligations under the Notes and the Indenture.”

Section 2.17. Satisfaction and Discharge. The provisions of Article Fourteen of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes. The Company may satisfy and discharge its obligations under the Indenture in accordance with the provisions of Article Four by delivering to the Trustee for cancellation all Outstanding Notes or by depositing with the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, if applicable, after the Notes have become due and payable, whether on the date of the Stated Maturity of the principal amount of the Notes, any Redemption Date, Optional Repurchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date or upon conversion or otherwise, cash or Common Shares in accordance with the terms hereof sufficient to pay or convert all of the Outstanding Notes and paying all other sums payable under the Notes and the Indenture in respect of the Notes.

Section 2.18. Events of Default; Waiver of Past Defaults.

(a) For purposes of this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, in addition to the Events of Default set forth in Section 501 of the Indenture, it shall also constitute an “Event of Default” if

(i) the Company shall fail to provide a Company Notice after the occurrence of a Change in Control as provided in Section 2.09 of this Supplemental Indenture; or

(ii) the Company shall default in the delivery when due of the Conversion Value, on the terms set forth herein and in the Notes, upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion right in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Notes, and the continuation of such default for 10 days.

(b) Section 502 of the Indenture is modified and amended solely for purposes of the Notes to add the following two paragraphs immediately following the last paragraph of Section 502:

“Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, to the extent elected by the Company, the sole remedy of Holders for an Event of Default relating to the failure to file any documents or reports that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act or for any failure to comply with Section 703(1) or 1005 of the Indenture each, a “Special Interest Event

of Default”), will for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such a Special Interest Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive special interest on the Notes at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (the “Special Interest”). The Company shall pay this Special Interest semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi- annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date following the date on which the Special Interest began to accrue on any of the Notes. If the Company so elects, the Special Interest shall accrue on all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which a Special Interest Event of Default first occurs to but not including the 365th day thererafter (or such earlier date on which the Special Interest Event of Default shall have been cured or waived). On the 365th day after such Special Interest Event of Default (or earlier, if such Special Interest Event of Default is cured or waived prior to such 365th day), such Special Interest shall cease to accrue and, if the Special Interest Event of Default has not been cured or waived prior to such 365th day, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided above. The provisions of this paragraph shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Special Interest upon a Special Interest Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided above.

In order to elect to pay the Special Interest as the sole remedy during the first 365 days after the occurrence of a Special Interest Event of Default, the Company must notify all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the close of business on the date on which such Special Interest Event of Default occurs.”

(c) Section 508 of the Indenture is modified and amended solely for purposes of the Notes to read as follows:

“Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of, and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, and the Conversion Value in respect of, such Note on the respective due dates expressed in such Note and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.”

(d) Section 513 of the Indenture is modified and amended solely for purposes of the Notes adding the following as clause (3):

“or (3) in the delivery of amounts owing upon conversion of a Note.”

Section 2.19. Modification.

(a) Clause (10) of Section 901 of the Indenture is modified and amended solely in its entirety for purposes of the Notes to read as follows:

“(10) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to facilitate the discharge of the Notes pursuant to Section 401; provided

that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Notes in any material respect; or”

(b) Section 901 of the Indenture is modified and amended solely for purposes of the Notes to add the following as clause (11):

“(11) to provide for conversion rights of Holders of Notes if any reclassification or change of Common Shares or any consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Company shall occur.”

(c) Section 902 of the Indenture is modified and amended solely for purposes of the Notes to add the following as clauses (4) and (5):

“(4) make any change that impairs or adversely affects the rights of a Holder to convert Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, or

(5) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the delivery of the Conversion Value as required by the Indenture upon the conversion of Notes.”

(d) Article 10 of the Indenture is modified and amended solely for purposes of the Notes to add the following as Section 1009:

“SECTION 1009. Compliance with Section 314(a)(1) of the TIA. The Company shall comply with the provisions of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act.”

Section 2.20. Calculations in Respect of the Notes. Except as otherwise specifically stated herein or in the Notes, all calculations to be made in respect of the Notes shall be the obligation of the Company. All calculations made by the Company or its agent as contemplated pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Notes shall be made in good faith and be final and binding on the Company and the Holders absent manifest error. The Company shall provide a schedule of calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the calculations by the Company without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward calculations made by the Company to any Holder of Notes upon written request within 20 Business Days after the effective date of any adjustment.

Section 2.21. Authorized Denominations. The Notes shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof and payments of principal, interest (including Additional Interest) and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes shall be made in U.S. dollars.

Section 2.22. Conversion Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Registrar. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby appointed as initial Conversion Agent, Paying Agent and the Security Registrar for the Notes. The Company may appoint and change any other or additional Conversion Agent, Paying Agent or Security Registrar or approve a change in the office through which any Conversion Agent, Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts without notice, other than notice to the Trustee. The Conversion Agent shall not have any duties or obligations other than those expressly set forth herein

as duties on its part to be performed. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities with respect to the Notes.

Section 2.23. Restrictions on Transfer. (a) Every Note (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) that bears or is required under this Section 2.23(a) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.23(a) (together with any Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes, collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.23(a) (including those set forth in the legend below) unless such restrictions on transfer shall be waived by written consent of the Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.23(a), the term “transfer” means any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security or any interest therein.

Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales of Restricted Securities under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), any certificate evidencing a Restricted Security shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless such Restricted Security has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar provision then in force, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER:

(1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT), IS AWARE THAT THE TRANSFER TO IT IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IS ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT;

(2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT, WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THIS SECURITY AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH THE COMPANY OR AN AFFILIATE THEREOF WAS THE OWNER OF THIS SECURITY, RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR THE COMMON SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF SUCH SECURITY EXCEPT (A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, (B) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), OR (D) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER

THE SECURITIES ACT AND WHICH CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH RESALE OR TRANSFER; AND

(3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY IS TRANSFERRED (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 2(C) OR 2(D) ABOVE) A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE OF THIS SECURITY AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH THE COMPANY OR AN AFFILIATE THEREOF WAS THE OWNER OF THIS SECURITY, THE HOLDER MUST CHECK THE APPROPRIATE BOX SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF RELATING TO THE MANNER OF SUCH TRANSFER AND SUBMIT THIS SECURITY TO THE TRUSTEE (OR ANY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE). IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 2(C) ABOVE, THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE TRUSTEE (OR ANY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE), SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS THE COMPANY OR THE TRUSTEE MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 2(C) OR 2(D) ABOVE OR THE EXPIRATION OF TWO YEARS FROM THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE OF THIS SECURITY AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH THE COMPANY OR AN AFFILIATE THEREOF WAS THE OWNER OF THIS SECURITY.

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY IS ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF) AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY AND TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT.

Any Notes that are Restricted Securities and as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to conditions for removal of the foregoing legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Securities Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.23, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.23(a). If such Restricted Security surrendered for exchange is represented by a global Note bearing the legend set forth in this Section 2.23(a), the principal amount of the legended global Note shall be reduced by the appropriate principal amount and the principal amount of a global Note without the legend set forth in this Section 2.23(a) shall be increased by an equal principal amount. If a global Note without the legend set forth in this Section 2.23(a) is not then Outstanding, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver an unlegended global Note to the Depositary.

In the event Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision) is amended to shorten the two-year period under Rule 144(k), then, the references in the restrictive legends set forth above to “TWO YEARS,” and in the corresponding transfer restrictions described

above, and in the Notes and the Common Shares will be deemed to refer to such shorter period, from and after receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to that effect. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Company knows of the effectiveness of any such amendment to shorten the two-year period under Rule 144(k), unless such changes would otherwise be prohibited by, or would otherwise cause a violation of, the federal securities laws applicable at the time, the Company will provide to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as to the effectiveness of such amendment and the effectiveness of such change to the restrictive legends and transfer restrictions.

(b) Any Restricted Securities, prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), purchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the Company or such Affiliate and will be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. Upon expiration of the holding period applicable to Restricted Securities under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), the Notes may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be reissued or sold or may be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. Any Notes surrendered for cancellation may not be reissued or resold and will be canceled promptly by the Trustee.

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

Section 2.24. Rule 144A Information Requirement. Within the period prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), the Company covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period in which it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act, make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Notes or any Common Shares issued upon conversion thereof which continue to be Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of Notes or such Common Shares designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act upon the request of any Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes or such Common Shares, all to the extent required to enable such Holder or beneficial owner to sell its Notes or Common Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemption provided by Rule 144A.

Section 2.25. Additional Interest Notice. In the event that the Company is required to pay Additional Interest to Holders of Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will provide written notice (“Additional Interest Notice”) to the Trustee of its obligation to pay Additional Interest no later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the proposed payment date for Additional Interest, and the Additional Interest Notice shall set forth the amount of Additional Interest to be paid by the Company on such payment date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine the Additional Interest, or with

respect to the nature, extent or calculation of the amount of Additional Interest when made, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Additional Interest.

Section 2.26. The Trustee. Section 601 of the Indenture is modified for purposes of the Notes by adding to the first proviso after the words “…any Additional Amounts or sinking fund installment with respect to any Security of such series,” the following: “or in the delivery of amounts owing upon conversion of a Security.” Section 602 of the Indenture is modified for purposes of the Notes by adding a new clause (12) which provides: “(12) The Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver, as Trustee on behalf of the Holders from time to time of the Notes, a letter to the Massachusetts Attorney General pursuant to Section 49, Chapter 271 of the General Laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts in such form as may be furnished to the Trustee by the Company and/or the Initial Purchasers, provided that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for the form or sufficiency of such letter for any purpose, nor for the performance of any obligations of the “lender” that may arise under said Section 49, including, without limitation, under clause (d) of said Section 49, and all such obligations, if any, shall be the responsibility of the Holders of the Notes.

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

3.80% Convertible Senior Note due 2027

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes, debentures, bonds, or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of February 25, 1998 (as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 7, 2007, and as further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by Hospitality Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, and all modifications and amendments and indentures supplemental thereto relating to the Notes, for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are authenticated and delivered. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may accrue interest (if any) at different rates or formulas and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series of Securities (the “Notes”) designated as the “3.80% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027” of the Company, initially limited (except as permitted under the Indenture) in aggregate principal amount to $575,000,000. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Terms used herein without definition and which are defined in the Indenture have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

1. Interest. The Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 3.80% per annum from March 7, 2007 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on September 15, 2007, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. Interest payable on each Interest Payment Date shall equal the amount of interest accrued for the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or commencing on and including March 7, 2007, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for) and ending on and including the day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
