          (f) If Securities are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities subject to restrictions on transfer and bearing the legends set forth on the form of Security attached hereto as Exhibits A and B setting forth such restrictions (collectively, the “Legend”), or if a request is made to remove the Legend on a Security, the Securities so issued shall bear the Legend, or the Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Company and the Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which shall include an

13

Opinion of Counsel, as may be reasonably required by the Company and the Registrar, that neither the Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that such Securities are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon (i) provision of such satisfactory evidence, or (ii) notification by the Company to the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Security pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a Security that does not bear the Legend.

          (g) Any Security or Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Security that is purchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the Company or such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction which results in such Securities or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being “restricted securities” (as defined under Rule 144).

          (h) Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository.

          SECTION 2.07 Replacement Securities. If (a) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such Security or indemnity satisfactory to them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

          Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section 2.07, 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 expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected 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 destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

14

          The provisions of this Section 2.07 are 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; Determinations of Holders’ Action. Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it or delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.07 and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security; provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in conclusively relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Articles 6 and 9).

          If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

          If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on or prior to the Business Day following the Change in Control Purchase Date, or on the Stated Maturity, money or securities, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then immediately after such Change in Control Purchase Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue.

          If a Security is converted in accordance with Article 10, then from and after the time of conversion on the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding and interest shall cease to accrue on such Security.

          SECTION 2.09 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

          If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.03, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any

15

one or more temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

          SECTION 2.10 Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, purchase by the Company pursuant to Article 3, conversion or registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may not reissue, reoffer or resell new Securities to replace Securities it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article 10. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 2.10, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures.

          SECTION 2.11 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of the Security or the payment of any Change in Control Purchase Price in respect thereof, and interest thereon, for the purpose of conversion and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          SECTION 2.12 Global Securities.

          (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, (A) transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Sections 2.06 and 2.12(a)(i), (B) transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security for a Certificated Security shall comply with Sections 2.06 and 2.12(a)(ii) below, and (C) transfers of a Certificated Security shall comply with Section 2.06 and Sections 2.12(a)(iii) and (iv) below.

   (i) Transfer of Global Security. 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 this clause (i) 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. Nothing in this Section 2.12(a)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective (i) any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 2.12(a); and (ii) the transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Security effected through the Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the procedures of the Depositary.

16

   (ii) Restrictions on Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security for a Certificated Security. A beneficial interest in a Global Security may not be exchanged for a Certificated Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security in accordance with Applicable Procedures for a Certificated Security in the form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:

   (1) so long as the Securities are Restricted Securities, a certification in the form set forth in Exhibit C;

   (2) written instructions from the Company to the Trustee to make, or direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to reflect a decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such decrease; and

   (3) if the Company or Registrar so requests, an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Legend,

then the Trustee shall cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of Securities represented by the Global Security to be decreased by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Security to be issued, shall issue such Certificated Security and shall debit or cause to be debited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Security so issued.

   (iii) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Securities. When Certificated Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request:

     (x) to register the transfer of such Certificated Securities; or

     (y) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal principal amount of Certificated Securities of other authorized denominations,

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Certificated Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange:

     (1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and

     (2) so long as such Securities are Restricted Securities, such Securities are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are

17

accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

     (A) if such Certificated Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or

     (B) if such Certificated Securities are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect; or

     (C) if such Certificated Securities are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration, (i) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth in Exhibit C, if applicable) and (ii) if the Company or Registrar so requests, an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Legend.

   (iv) Restrictions on Transfer of a Certificated Security for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security. A Certificated Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Certificated Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:

     (1) so long as the Securities are Restricted Securities, certification, in the form set forth in Exhibit C, that such Certificated Security is being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A; and

     (2) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Security and cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of Securities represented by the Global Security to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Security to be exchanged, and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Security so cancelled. If no Global Securities are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new Global Security in the appropriate principal amount.

          (b) Subject to the succeeding paragraph, every Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend, including the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel,

18

if so provided. Whenever any Restricted Security is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange for a Security registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such Security must be accompanied by a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C, dated the date of such surrender and signed by the Holder of such Security, as to compliance with such restrictions on transfer. The Registrar shall not be required to accept for such registration of transfer or exchange any Security not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate and other evidence the Registrar may request as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Legend.

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

          (d) In the event that Rule 144(k) as promulgated under the Securities Act is amended to shorten the two-year restriction period, then restrictions on transfer on the Securities and the Common Stock will be deemed to refer to the shortened restriction period. The Company undertakes to inform the Trustee if such change to Rule 144(k) occurs and the effect (if any) to the restrictions on transfer applicable to the Securities and Common Stock and shall provide additional information (including an Opinion of Counsel and/or an Officers’ Certificate) if so requested by the Trustee.

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

19

          (f) The provisions of clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) below shall apply only to Global Securities:

     (1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, except as provided in Section 2.12(a)(i), 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 (i) 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 or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (i) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (ii) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Depositary. Any Security issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global Security; provided that any such Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security.

     (2) 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.

     (3) Subject to the provisions of clause (5) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members (as defined below) 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.

     (4) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (1) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

20

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

     SECTION 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers as printed on the Securities and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

     SECTION 2.14 Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay, or shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay, the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. A special record date, as used in this Section 2.14 with respect to the payment of any defaulted interest, shall mean the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and to the Trustee (or cause the Trustee to mail to each Holder) a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

     SECTION 2.15 Registration Default. The Additional Interest Amount shall be payable upon the Securities in the case of a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). If a Registration Default occurs, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating (1) the Additional Interest Amount payable, (2) when such Additional Interest Amount began accruing and (3) when such Additional Interest Amount is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such an Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall assume that no Additional Interest Amount is payable.

ARTICLE 3

PURCHASES OF SECURITIES

     SECTION 3.01 Purchase of Securities at Option of the Holder upon Change in Control.

21

     (a) If there shall have occurred a Change in Control, all or any portion of the Securities of any Holder equal to $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000 shall be purchased by the Company in cash, at the option of such Holder, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be purchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date (the “Change in Control Purchase Price”), on the date (the “Change in Control Purchase Date”) that is not later than 30 Business Days after the date the Company provides notice of a Change in Control in accordance with Section 3.01(b) hereof, provided, however, that if the Change in Control Purchase Date is after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest becoming due on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Date according to their terms, and the Change in Control Purchase Price shall not include such interest payment.

     If there shall have occurred a Change in Control pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof in which more than 10% of the consideration for the Common Stock in the transaction or transactions constituting the Change in Control consists of cash (other than cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights), the Company will pay on the Change in Control Purchase Date a Make-Whole Premium to the Holders of the Securities in addition to the Change in Control Purchase Price. The Make-Whole Premium will also be paid on the Change in Control Purchase Date to the Holders of Securities who convert their Securities on or after the date on which the Company has given a notice to all Holders of Securities in accordance with Section 3.01(b) hereof and on or before the Change in Control Purchase Date.

     The “Make-Whole Premium” will be determined by reference to the table below and is based on the date on which the Change in Control becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid per share of the Company’s Common Stock in the transaction constituting the Change in Control. If the holders of the Company’s Common Stock receive only cash in the transaction, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share of the Company’s Common Stock. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be equal to the average Closing Sale Price per share of the Company’s Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date.

     The following table shows what the Make-Whole Premium would be for each hypothetical Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Securities.

22

     The Make-Whole Premiums set forth above are based upon a Closing Sale Price per share of the Company’s Common Stock of $11.105 on September 28, 2004 and a Conversion Rate of 64.3211 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, which results in a Conversion Price of approximately $15.55, which is 40% higher than the Closing Sale Price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on September 28, 2004.

     The actual Stock Price and Effective Date may not be set forth on the table, in which case:

     The Stock Prices set forth in the first column of the table above will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock 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 Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

     The Company shall pay, at its option, the Make-Whole Premium in cash, shares of its Common Stock or the same form of consideration used to pay for the shares of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the transaction constituting the Change in Control.

23

     If the Company pays the Make-Whole Premium in shares of its Common Stock, the value of its Common Stock to be delivered in respect of the Make-Whole Premium shall be deemed to be equal to the average Closing Sale Price per share over the ten Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Change in Control Purchase Date. The Company may pay the Make-Whole Premium in shares of its Common Stock only if the information necessary to calculate the Closing Sale Price per share is published in a daily newspaper of general circulation or by other appropriate means.

     In addition, the Company’s right to pay the Make-Whole Premium in shares of its Common Stock is subject to the satisfaction of the following:

     If such conditions are not satisfied with respect to a Holder prior to the close of business on the Change in Control Purchase Date, the Company shall pay the Make-Whole Premium in cash. The Company may not change the form of consideration to be paid with respect to the Make-Whole Premium once it has given notice set forth in Section 3.01(b) to Holders, except as described in the immediately preceding sentence.

     If the Company pays the Make-Whole Premium in the same form of consideration used to pay for the shares of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the transaction constituting the Change in Control, the value of the consideration to be delivered in respect of the Make-Whole Premium will be calculated as follows:

24

     A “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred at such time after the original issuance of Securities as any of the following events shall occur:

     (i) the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger (except a merger by the Company described in clause (ii) below) or other acquisition transaction or series of transactions, of shares of the Capital Stock of the Company entitling that person to exercise 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of such Capital Stock entitled to vote generally in elections of directors, other than any acquisition by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any employee benefit plans of the Company; or

     (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person, any merger of another person into the Company, or any conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to another person, other than:

               (A) any transaction (1) that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of the Capital Stock of the Company and (2) pursuant to which holders of the Capital Stock of the Company immediately prior to the transaction are entitled to exercise, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of the Capital Stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the continuing or surviving person immediately after the transaction; or

               (B) any merger, share exchange, transfer of assets or similar transaction solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation and resulting in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity; or

     (iii) during any consecutive two-year period, individuals who at the beginning of that two-year period constituted the Board of Directors (together with any new directors whose election to the Board of Directors, or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Company, was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election were previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors then in office.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it will not constitute a “Change in Control” if at least 90% of the consideration for Common Stock (excluding cash payments for fractional share and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights) in the transaction or transactions constituting the Change in Control consists of common stock or American Depositary Shares representing shares of common stock traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or which will be so traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in

25

connection with the Change in Control, and as a result of such transaction or transactions, the notes become convertible solely into such common stock or American Depositary Shares representing shares of common stock; provided that, with respect to an entity organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the U.S., such entity has a worldwide market capitalization of its equity securities of at least U.S. $5 billion before giving effect to the consolidation or merger.

Beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act.

          (b) Prior to or on the 30th day after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company, or, at the written request and expense of the Company prior to or on the 30th day after such occurrence, the Trustee, shall give to all Holders, in the manner provided in Section 12.02 hereof, notice of the occurrence of the Change in Control and of the purchase right set forth herein arising as a result thereof. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice of a purchase right to the Trustee. The notice shall include a form of Change in Control Purchase Notice to be completed by the Holder and shall state:

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

               (2) the date by which the Change in Control Purchase Notice pursuant to this Section 3.01 must be given;

               (3) the Change in Control Purchase Date;

               (4) the Change in Control Purchase Price;

               (5) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

               (6) that Securities as to which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given may be converted pursuant to Article 10 hereof only if the Change in Control Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

               (7) that Securities must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment;

               (8) that the Change in Control Purchase Price for any Security as to which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been duly given and not withdrawn will be paid promptly following the later of the Change in Control Purchase Date and the time of surrender of such Security as described in (7) above;

               (9) briefly, the procedures the Holder must follow to exercise rights under this Section 3.01;

               (10) briefly, the conversion rights of the Securities, including the Conversion Rate and any adjustments thereto;

26

               (11) the procedures for withdrawing a Change in Control Purchase Notice;

               (12) the CUSIP number of the Securities;

               (13) whether a Make-Whole Premium shall be paid by the Company and the form of consideration to be paid in respect of the Make-Whole Premium; and

               (14) if a Make-Whole Premium is paid by the Company, that a Make-Whole Premium shall be paid by the Company on the Change of Control Purchase Date to Holders of Securities who have converted their Securities into the Company’s Common Stock on or after the date the Company has given notice to all Holders in accordance with this Section 3.01(b) and on or before the Change in Control Purchase Date.

          (c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in Section 3.02(a) hereof upon delivery of a written notice of purchase (a “Change in Control Purchase Notice”) to the Paying Agent prior to the Change in Control Purchase Date, stating:

               (1) the certificate number of the Security, if any, which the Holder will deliver to be purchased or the appropriate Depositary procedures if the Securities are not in certificated form;

               (2) the portion of the principal amount of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion must be $1,000 or any whole multiple thereof; and

               (3) that such Security shall be purchased pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in paragraph 5 on the reverse side of the Securities and in this Indenture.

          The delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent prior to the Change in Control Purchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Change in Control Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Change in Control Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.01 only if the Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof set forth in the related Change in Control Purchase Notice.

          The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.01, a portion of a Security so delivered for purchase if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security.

          Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.01 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Change in Control Purchase Date and the time of delivery of the Security to the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 3.01.

27

          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Change in Control Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.01(c) shall have the right to withdraw such Change in Control Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Change in Control Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.02.

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

          SECTION 3.02 Effect of Change in Control Purchase Notice. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Change in Control Purchase Notice specified in Section 3.01(c), the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Change in Control Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Change in Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to such Security. Such Purchase Price (along with the Make-Whole Premium, if any) shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of consideration for the Securities by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the Change in Control Purchase Date with respect to such Security (provided the conditions in Section 3.01(c), as the case may be, have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.01(c), as the case may be. Securities in respect of which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 10 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Change in Control Purchase Notice unless such Change in Control Purchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs.

          A Change in Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent in accordance with the Change in Control Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change in Control Purchase Date specifying:

               (1) the certificate number of the Security in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted or, if not in certificated form, the applicable Depositary procedures,

               (2) the principal amount of the Security with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

               (3) the principal amount, if any, of such Security which remains subject to the original Change in Control Purchase Notice and which has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company.

          There shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01 if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving, by the Holders of such Securities, of the required Change in Control Purchase Notice) and is continuing an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to such Securities). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities (x) with respect to which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in

28

compliance with this Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to such Securities) in which case, upon such return, the Change in Control Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

          SECTION 3.03 Deposit of Change in Control Purchase Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Change in Control Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04) an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the aggregate Change in Control Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be purchased as of the Change in Control Purchase Date and an amount in cash or shares of Common Stock sufficient to pay any Make-Whole Premium.

          If the Trustee or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, if it or such Affiliate is acting as the Paying Agent, holds cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Change in Control Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Change in Control Purchase Date, on or after the Change in Control Purchase Date, and an amount in cash or shares of Common Stock sufficient to pay any Make-Whole Premium, (i) such Securities will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest on such Securities will cease to accrue and (iii) all other rights of the holders of such Securities will terminate, whether or not book-entry transfer of the Securities has been made or the Securities have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent, other than the right to receive the Change in Control Purchase Price and the Make-Whole Premium, if any, upon delivery of the Securities.

          SECTION 3.04 Securities Purchased in Part. Any Security which is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and 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 any authorized denomination as 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 which is not purchased.

          SECTION 3.05 Covenant to Comply with Securities Laws upon Purchase of Securities. In connection with any offer to purchase or purchase of Securities under Section 3.01 hereof (provided that such offer or purchase constitutes an “issuer tender offer” for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer or purchase), the Company shall (i) comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act which may then be applicable, (ii) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report) or any other schedule required under the Exchange Act, and (iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 3.01 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 3.01.

29

          SECTION 3.06 Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any cash or shares of Common Stock that remains unclaimed as provided in paragraph 10 of the Securities, together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Change in Control Purchase Price and Make-Whole Premium, if any; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.03 exceeds the aggregate Change in Control Purchase Price of the Securities and Make-Whole Premium, if any, or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Change in Control Purchase Date then promptly after the Business Day following the Change in Control Purchase Date the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon.

If at any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, such reports shall be provided at the times the Company would have been required to provide reports had it continued to have been subject to such reporting requirements. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a).

          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,

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency (other than a change in the location of the office of the Trustee).

          The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, for such purposes.

          SECTION 4.06 Delivery of Certain Information. At any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder or any beneficial Holder of Securities or shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information (as

During the period of two years after the last date of original issuance of any Securities, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, resell any Securities, or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities, that constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the Securities due and payable at their principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment shall be immediately due and payable.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

          SECTION 6.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may, through their written consent or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present, direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it against loss, liability or expense. This Section 6.05 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

36

          SECTION 6.06 Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

          A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Holder it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders will have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

          SECTION 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal amount, premium, if any, Change in Control Purchase Price or any accrued and unpaid cash interest in respect of the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities, and to convert the Securities in accordance with Article 10, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert, shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the consent of such Holder.

          SECTION 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount owing with respect to the Securities and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal amount, Change in Control Purchase Price or any accrued and unpaid cash interest in respect of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the

37

Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any such amount) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

          (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal amount, Change in Control Purchase Price or any accrued and unpaid cash interest and to file such 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 or any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

          (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official 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 the Trustee any amount due 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 7.07.

          Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

          SECTION 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

          (3) 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 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

          SECTION 6.11 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 (other than the Trustee) 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 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee,

38

a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding. This Section 6.11 shall be in lieu of Section 315(e) of the TIA and such Section 315(e) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

          SECTION 6.12 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal amount, Change in Control Purchase Price or any accrued and unpaid cash interest in respect of Securities, or any interest on such amounts, as contemplated herein, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE 7

TRUSTEE

          SECTION 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

          (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

          (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

          (b) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

          (c) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be

          (i) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture;

          (j) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; and

          (k) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

          (m) the Trustee shall not be responsible for information in any notice provision provided to the Trustee by the Company. Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel.

          SECTION 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent or co-registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

          SECTION 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Securities or the Pledged Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use or application of the proceeds from the Securities, it shall not be responsible for any statement in the registration statement for the Securities under the Securities Act or in the Indenture or the Securities (other than its certificate of authentication), or the determination as to which beneficial owners are entitled to receive any notices hereunder.

          SECTION 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after the occurrence thereof, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice. Except in the case of a Default described in Section 6.01(1) or (2), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the best interest of Holders. The second sentence of this Section 7.05 shall be in lieu of the proviso to Section 315(b) of the TIA and such proviso is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such Default.

          SECTION 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a), if required by such Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b).

          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed. The Company agrees to promptly notify the Trustee in writing whenever the Securities become listed on any securities exchange and of any delisting thereof.

          SECTION 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company agrees:

42

          (a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited (to the extent permitted by law) by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

          (b) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses, advances and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

          (c) to indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, damage, claim, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by reference to the income of the Trustee)) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

          To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Holders shall have been deemed to have granted to the Trustee a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except for the money and property held in trust to pay the principal amount, Change in Control Purchase Price, or cash interest, if any, as the case may be, on particular Securities.

          The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7), the expenses, including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel, are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

          SECTION 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company; provided, however, no such resignation shall be effective until a successor Trustee has accepted its appointment pursuant to this Section 7.08. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee and shall remove the Trustee if:

          (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

          (2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

          (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

43

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint, by resolution of its Board of Directors, a successor Trustee.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company satisfactory in form and substance to the retiring Trustee and the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

          If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Company for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          SECTION 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

          SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1) and 310(b). The Trustee (or its parent holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of TIA Section 310(b).

          SECTION 7.11 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.

under this Indenture while Securities remain outstanding; provided that provisions of Section 2.03, Section 2.04, Section 2.05, Section 2.06, Section 2.07, Section 2.12, Section 4.01, Section 4.05, Section 7.07, Article 10 and this Article 8 shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full.

After return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person and the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have no further liability to the Holders with respect to such money or securities for that period commencing after the return thereof.

          SECTION 8.03 Deposited Monies to Be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 8.02, all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.01 shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Holders and such monies shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company if acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders for the payment of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest.

          SECTION 8.04 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.03 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.03; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of interest on or principal of any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

Until an amendment, waiver or other action by Holders becomes effective, a consent thereto by a Holder of a Security hereunder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same obligation as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent, waiver or action is not made on the

47

Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent, waiver or action as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, waiver or action becomes effective. After an amendment, waiver or action becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder.

          SECTION 9.06 Trustee to Sign Supplemental Indentures.

ARTICLE 10

CONVERSION

          SECTION 10.01 Conversion Right and Conversion Rate. A Holder of a Security may convert the principal amount of such Security (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) into Common Stock at any time prior to the close of business on the last Business Day prior to October 15, 2011, at the Conversion Rate then in effect. The initial “Conversion Rate” is 64.3211 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities and is subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 10.

          In addition, a Holder may be entitled to the Make-Whole Premium in addition to the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such Holder’s Securities in accordance with Section 3.01 hereof.

          SECTION 10.02 Exercise of Conversion Right. To exercise the conversion right, the Holder of any Security to be converted shall in the case of Global Securities, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time, and, in the case of Certificated

48

Securities, surrender such Security duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, at the office of any Conversion Agent, accompanied by a duly signed conversion notice substantially in the form attached to the Security to the Company stating that the Holder elects to convert such Security or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted the portion thereof to be converted. Holders of any Security to be converted shall also furnish appropriate endorsement and transfer documents and pay all taxes and duties, if any.

          If the Notes are converted after a Record Date for an Interest Payment Date but prior to the next Interest Payment Date, those Notes must be accompanied by funds equal to the interest payable to the Holder of the Notes on such Record Date on the next Interest Payment Date on the principal amount so converted; provided, however, that no such payment need be made if (1) the Company has specified a Change in Control Purchase that is after a Record Date an prior to the next Interest Payment Date or (2) only to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Security.

          Securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date shall be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest to be received on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of Securities being surrendered for conversion.

          Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions (the “Conversion Date”), and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease (and all obligations of the Company with respect thereto shall be deemed satisfied, including with respect to the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, including any Additional Interest), and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to such Conversion Agent a certificate or certificates for or, if applicable, other book-entry confirmation representing the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 10.03 hereof.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any Securities, for all or any portion of the Securities, the Company may elect to pay Holders surrendering Securities for conversion an amount in cash per Security (or a portion of a Security) equal to the average of the Applicable Stock Price over the five Trading Day period starting the third Trading Day following the Conversion Date multiplied by the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date. The Company will inform the Holders through the Trustee no later than two Business Days following the Conversion Date of its election to deliver shares of Common Stock or to pay cash in lieu of delivery of the shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock and cash deliverable upon conversion will be delivered through the Conversion Agent no later than the third Business Day following the determination of the Applicable Stock Price. If the Company elects to pay all of such payment in cash, the payment will be made to Holders surrendering Securities no later than the tenth Business Day following the applicable Conversion Date.

49

          Except as specifically provided herein, no cash payment or other adjustment will be made on conversion of any Securities for interest accrued thereon or for dividends on any Common Stock. Accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited.

          In the case of any Certificated Security which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Securities.

          If shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted Security or portion thereof are to be registered in a name other than that of the Holder of such Restricted Security, such Holder must deliver to the Conversion Agent a certificate in substantially the form set forth in the form of Security set forth in Exhibit C annexed hereto, dated the date of surrender of such Restricted Security and signed by such Holder, as to compliance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to such Restricted Security. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent shall be required to register in a name other than that of the Holder shares of Common Stock or Securities issued upon conversion of any such Restricted Security not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.

          SECTION 10.03 Fractions of Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Security or Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issued upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Sale Price per Share of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day preceding the Conversion Date.

          SECTION 10.04 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustments, calculated by the Company, from time to time as follows:

          (a) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction:

     (1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such determination and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, and

50

     (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such determination.

Such increase shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Business Day following the Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

          (b) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced. In each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination. Such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

          (c) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than as contemplated by Section 10.14) entitling them 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 on the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction:

     (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible) at such below Current Market Price, and

     (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate Conversion Price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such Current Market Price.

51

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

          (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 10.04(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or other assets, including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.04(c) or 10.14, (2) any dividends or distributions in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 10.11 hereof applies and (3) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash referred to in Section 10.04(e) (the securities described in foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) hereinafter in this Section 10.04(d) called the “excluded securities”), then, in each such case, subject to the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 10.04(d), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:

     (1) the numerator of which shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Record Date, and

     (2) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such date, less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets so distributed (other than excluded securities) applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date).

Such increase shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets so distributed (other than excluded securities) applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment,

52

adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets so distributed (other than excluded securities) such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to 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 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 10.04(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution (other than excluded securities), it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the “Reference Period”) used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 10.04(g) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interests of the Holder.

          For purposes of this Section 10.04(d) and Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b) and 10.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.04(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, a subdivision or combination of Common Stock to which Section 10.04(b) applies, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) to which Section 10.04(c) applies (or any combination thereof), shall be deemed instead to be:

     (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants to which Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b) and 10.04(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Rate increase required by this Section 10.04(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by

     (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate increase required by Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b) and 10.04(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except:

     (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (x) “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution”, “Record Date fixed for such determinations” and “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 10.04(a), (y) “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” and “the day upon which such combination becomes effective” within the meaning of Section 10.04(b), and (z) as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants”, “the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and such “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 10.04(c), and

53

     (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 10.04(a) and any increase or reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution.

          (e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in Section 10.04(d) hereof), then and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction:

     (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such Record Date, and

     (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the aggregate amount of the cash distributed and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the 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 which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

          (f) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pays holders of the Common Stock in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer, other than an odd-lot offer, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for shares of Common Stock to the extent that the cash and fair market value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”), then, and in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction:

     (1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged 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) at the Expiration Time and the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and

54

     (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time.

Such increase (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made.

          (g) For purposes of this Section 10.04, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

          “Current Market Price” shall mean the average of the daily Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days ending not later than the earlier of the date immediately prior to the date in question and the day before the “ex” date with respect to the issuance, distribution, subdivision or combination requiring such computation. If another issuance, distribution, subdivision or combination to which Section 10.04 applies occurs during the period applicable for calculating “Current Market Price” pursuant to the preceding definition, then “Current Market Price” shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the impact of such issuance, distribution, subdivision or combination on the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock during such period. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex” date, when used:

     (A) with respect to any issuance 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 issuance or distribution;

     (B) with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective, and

     (C) with respect to any tender or exchange offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such offer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Rate are called for pursuant to this Section 10.04, such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 10.04 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

     (2) “fair market value” shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction.

55

     (3) “Record Date” shall mean for purposes of this Article 10, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

          (h) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section 10.04(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f), as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

          To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and each Holder at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Register a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

          Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or its Board of Directors increase the Conversion Rate to an amount that would violate the stockholder approval requirements of the Nasdaq National Market without first obtaining the approval of the Company’s stockholders to such increase.

          (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 10.04(i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. In the event that, on the date that is five Business Days prior to the maturity of the Securities (whether at Stated Maturity or otherwise), an adjustment has been carried forward pursuant to the preceding sentence but has not yet been taken into account in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate and notwithstanding the first sentence of this paragraph (i), an adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made on such date in accordance with the relevant paragraph of this Section 10.04. All calculations under this Article 10 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock. No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required if the Holders participate in the transactions that would otherwise lead to an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.04.

          (j) In any case in which this Section 10.04 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a Record Date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii)

56

paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof.

          (k) For purposes of this Section 10.04, the number of shares of Common Stock 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 shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

          SECTION 10.05 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided (other than in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 10.04(h) for which the notice required by such paragraph has been provided), the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Promptly after delivery of such Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective, and shall mail, or cause the Trustee to mail, at the Company’s expense, such notice to each Holder at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Register within 20 days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

          SECTION 10.06 Notice Prior to Certain Actions. In case at any time after the date hereof:

     (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its capital surplus or its consolidated retained earnings;

     (2) the Company shall authorize (other than pursuant to a Rights Plan) the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class (or of securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class) or of any other rights;

     (3) there shall occur any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, a change in par value, a change from par value to no par value or a change from no par value to par value), or any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or the sale, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

     (4) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof, and shall cause to be provided to the

57

Trustee and all Holders in accordance with Section 12.02 hereof, at least 15 days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating:

     (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or

     (B) the date on which such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale, transfer, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

          Neither the failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings or actions described in clauses (1) through (4) of this Section 10.06.

          SECTION 10.07 Company to Reserve Common Stock. The Company shall at all times use its best efforts to reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Securities, the full number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all Securities outstanding.

          SECTION 10.08 Taxes on Conversions. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes (other than taxes on income) and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. A Holder delivering a Security for conversion shall be liable for and will be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.

          SECTION 10.09 Covenant as to Common Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable.

          SECTION 10.10 Cancellation of Converted Securities. All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee to be canceled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.10.

          SECTION 10.11 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of following events occur, namely:

58

     (1) any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a change as a result of a subdivision or combination),

     (2) any merger, consolidation or combination of the Company with another corporation, or

     (3) any sale, conveyance or lease of all, or substantially all, the properties and assets of the Company to any other corporation,

in each case, as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that such Security shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) which such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance had such Securities been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“Non-Electing Share”), then for the purposes of this Section 10.11 the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance for each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 10. If, in the case of any such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Section 3.01 hereof.

          The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the Register, within

59

20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

          The above provisions of this Section 10.11 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances.

          If this Section 10.11 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 10.04 hereof shall not apply to such event or occurrence.

          SECTION 10.12 Adjustment for Other Distributions. If, after the Issue Date of the Securities, the Company pays a dividend or makes a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock consisting of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests as described in Section 10.04(d), of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

P ´ = P x 1/(1 + M/F)

where:

     P ´ = the adjusted Conversion Rate.

     P = the current Conversion Rate.

     F = the fair market value of the securities distributed in respect of each share of Common Stock, which shall be the number of securities distributed in respect of each share of Common Stock multiplied by the average of the Post-Distribution Prices of those securities distributed for the 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend Date.

     M = the average of the Post-Distribution Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the date on which “ex-dividend trading” commences for such dividend or distribution on the Nasdaq National Market or such other national or regional exchange or market which such securities are then listed or quoted (the “Ex-Dividend Date”).

          “Post-Distribution Price” of Capital Stock or any similar equity interest on any date means the closing per unit sale price (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on such date for trading of such units on a “when issued” basis without due bills (or similar concept) as reported in the composite transactions for the Nasdaq National Market or such other national or regional exchange or market on which such Capital Stock or equity interest is traded or, if the Capital Stock or equity interest, as the case may be, is not listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange or market, as reported by the Nasdaq system or by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated; provided that if on any date such units have not traded on a “when issued” basis, the Post-Distribution Price shall be the closing per unit sale price (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on such date

60

for trading of such units on a “regular way” basis without due bills (or similar concept) as reported in the composite transactions for the Nasdaq National Market or such other national or regional exchange on which such Capital Stock or equity interest is traded or, if the Capital Stock or equity interest, as the case may be, is not listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by the Nasdaq system or by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated. In the absence of such quotation, the Company shall be entitled to determine the Post-Distribution Price on the basis of such quotations, which reflect the post-distribution value of the Capital Stock or equity interests as it considers appropriate.

          SECTION 10.13 Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions. The Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or intent of any such adjustments when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (of the kind or amount) of any Common Stock, or of any other securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Security; and it or they do not make any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of stock or share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article.

          SECTION 10.14 Rights Issued in Respect of Common Stock Issued Upon Conversion. In the event that the Company implements a new rights plan or any similar plan (a “Rights Plan”), or the Company’s current Rights Plan is still in effect, upon conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, to the extent that any such 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 (unless 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 (including the issuance of the rights, the distribution of separate certificates representing the rights, the exercise or redemption of such rights in accordance with the applicable rights agreement and the termination or invalidation of the rights) shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to Section 10.04.

61

ARTICLE 11

SUBORDINATION

          SECTION 11.01 Securities Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness. (a) The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the Indebtedness represented by the Securities and the payment of the principal of and premium (including the Make-Whole Premium), if any, and interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on each and all of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinated and junior, to the extent and in the manner set forth and as set forth in this Section 11.01, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Securities, the Indebtedness represented thereby and the payment of the principal of and premium (including the Make-Whole Premium), if any, and interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on the Securities in all respects shall rank equally with, or prior to, all existing and future Indebtedness of the Company that is expressly subordinated to any Senior Indebtedness.

          (b) In the event of any distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise, the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon in respect of all such Senior Indebtedness and all other amounts due or provision shall be made for such amount in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders of any of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, on account of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on the Securities.

          (c) In the event of and during the continuance of any default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other payment obligation in respect of, any Senior Indebtedness, unless all such payments due in respect of such Senior Indebtedness have been paid in full in cash or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, premium (including the Make-Whole Premium), if any, or interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities (including any conversion or repurchase pursuant to Article 3). The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any default under any Senior Indebtedness or under any agreement pursuant to which Senior Indebtedness may have been issued.

          (d) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 11.01(b) and 11.01(c), any payment on account of principal, premium (including the Make-Whole Premium), if any, or interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on the Securities shall be made by or on behalf of the Company and received by the Trustee, by any

62

Holder or by any Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, money for any such payment shall be segregated and held in trust):

     (i) after the occurrence of an event specified in Section 11.01(b) then, unless all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, or provision shall be made therefor, or

     (ii) after the happening of an event of default of the type specified in Section 11.01(c) above, then, unless the amount of such Senior Indebtedness then due shall have been paid in full, or provision made therefor or such event of default shall have been cured or waived, such payment (subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 11.07 hereof) shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over to, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of the Senior Indebtedness, as the case may be, may have been issued, as their interests may appear.

          SECTION 11.02 Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness to which the Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is in the circumstances subordinated as provided in Section 11.01 hereof, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Securities shall be paid in full, and, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by virtue of this Article which otherwise would have been made to the holders of the Securities shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of such Senior Indebtedness; provided, however, that the provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

          SECTION 11.03 Obligation of the Company Is Absolute and Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between 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, and interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything contained herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

          SECTION 11.04 Maturity of or Default on Senior Indebtedness. Upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, all principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other payment obligations in respect of all such

63

matured Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full, or such payment shall have been duly provided for, before any payment on account of principal, or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) is made upon the Securities.

          SECTION 11.05 Payments on Securities Permitted. Except as expressly provided in this Article, nothing contained in this Article shall affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, payments of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on the Securities in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, or shall prevent the Trustee or any Paying Agent from applying any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on the Securities.

          SECTION 11.06 Effectuation of Subordination by Trustee. Each Holder of Securities, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

          Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee 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 any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any 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 payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the right of such Persons under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Persons pending judicial determination as to the right of such Persons to receive such payment.

          SECTION 11.07 Knowledge of Trustee. Notwithstanding the provision of this Article or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness, of any default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other payment obligation in respect of any Senior Indebtedness, or of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee having responsibility for the administration of the trust established by this Indenture shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, any Holder of Securities, any Paying or Conversion Agent of the Company or the holder or representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness, and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such default or facts exist; provided, however, that unless on the third Business Day prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose the Trustee shall have received the notice provided for in this Section 11.07, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and apply the same to the

64

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 date.

          SECTION 11.08 Trustee’s Relation to Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent of any of its rights as such holder.

Nothing contained in this Article shall apply to claims of or payments to the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof.

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, 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 the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders, the Company or any other Person moneys or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.

          SECTION 11.09 Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness Not Impaired. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

          SECTION 11.10 Modification of Terms of Senior Indebtedness. Any renewal or extension of the time of payment of any Senior Indebtedness or the exercise by the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any of their rights under any instrument creating or evidencing Senior Indebtedness, including without limitation the waiver of default thereunder, may be made or done all without notice to or assent from the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee.

          No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal or other change of, or waiver, consent or other action in respect of, any liability or obligation under or in respect of, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any indenture or other instrument under which any Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or of such Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such release is in accordance with the provisions or any applicable document, shall in any way alter or affect any of the provisions of this Article or of the Securities relating to the subordination thereof.

          SECTION 11.11 Certain Conversions Not Deemed Payment. For the purposes of this Article 11 only:

65

          (1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of Securities in accordance with Article 10 hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of, premium(including the Make-Whole Premium), if any, or interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) 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 10.03 hereof), property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of a Security shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on such Security.

For the purposes of this Section 11.11, the term “junior securities” means:

          (a) shares of any Common Stock of the Company or

          (b) other securities of the Company that are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness that 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 11 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 of Securities, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Security to convert such Security in accordance with Article 10 hereof.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

2¼% Convertible Subordinated Securities due 2011

     Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated October 4, 2004 between the Company and The Bank of New York (the “Trustee”) unless otherwise indicated.

     The Company promises to pay interest at the Interest Rate in cash on the principal amount of this Security. The Company will pay cash interest semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on April 15, 2005, to Holders of record at the close of business on the preceding April 1 and October 1 (whether or not a business day) (each a “Regular Record Date”), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Cash interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. Cash interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay cash interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Securities, and it shall pay interest in cash on overdue installments of cash interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. All such overdue cash interest shall be payable on demand. Upon conversion, accrued and unpaid interest shall be deemed paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make payments in respect of the principal of, and cash interest on this Security and in respect of the Change in Control Purchase Price and the Make-Whole Premium, if any, to Holders who surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Securities. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may make such cash payments by check or wire transfer payable in such money. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as this Security is registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all payments hereon shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. Any payment required to be made on any day that is not a Business Day will be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

     Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice, other than notice to the Trustee except that the Company will maintain at least one Paying Agent in the State of New York, City of New York, The Borough of Manhattan, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

A-4

     The Company issued the Securities under the Indenture. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect from time to time (the “TIA”). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms.

     The Securities are general unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company limited to $280,000,000 aggregate principal amount (subject to Section 2.07 and Section 2.02 of the Indenture). The Indenture does not limit other indebtedness of the Company, secured or unsecured.

     No sinking fund is provided for the Securities.

     If there shall have occurred a Change in Control (subject to certain conditions provided for in the Indenture), each Holder, at such Holder’s option, shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, to require the Company to purchase its Securities (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is at least $1,000 or any whole multiple thereof, provided that the portion of the principal amount of this Security to be outstanding after such purchase is at least equal to $1,000) at the Change in Control Purchase Price in cash plus any accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the Change in Control Purchase Date.

     If there shall have occurred a Change in Control pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof in which more than 10% of the consideration for the Common Stock in the transaction or transactions constituting the Change in Control consists of cash (other than cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ rights), and a Holder surrenders such Securities for purchase, the Company shall pay to such Holder a Make-Whole Premium in addition to the Change in Control Purchase Price. The Make-Whole Premium will also be paid on the Change in Control Purchase Date to the Holders of the Securities who convert their Securities on or after the date on which the Company has given a notice to all Holders of Securities in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Indenture and on or before the Change in Control Purchase Date.

     A written notice of the Change in Control will be given to the Holders as provided in the Indenture. To exercise a purchase right, a Holder must deliver to the Trustee a Change in Control Purchase Notice as provided in the Indenture.

     Holders have the right to withdraw any Change in Control Purchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

     The Indebtedness evidenced by this Security and the payment of the principal of and premium (including the Make-Whole Premium), if any, and interest (including Additional

A-5

Interest Amounts, if any) on each and all of the Securities is expressly subordinated and junior, to the extent and in the manner set forth and as set forth in the Indenture, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Securities, the Indebtedness represented thereby and the payment of the principal of and premium (including the Make-Whole Premium), if any, and interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on the Securities in all respects shall rank equally with, or prior to, all existing and future Indebtedness of the Company that is expressly subordinated to any Senior Indebtedness. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes

     Subject to the Article 10 of the Indenture, a Holder of a Security may convert such Security (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) into Common Stock at any time prior to the close of business on the last Business Day prior to October 15, 2011 or such earlier date set forth in the Indenture, at the Conversion Rate then in effect. Subject to certain conditions provided for in the Indenture, in certain circumstances, a Holder may receive an amount in cash equal to the Make-Whole Premium, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable, or cash payments, on conversion of such Security.

     The initial “Conversion Rate” is 64.3211 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities and is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Change in Control Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted only if such Change in Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock.

     To convert a Certificated Security, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice below (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent, the Company or the Trustee, (4) pay all funds required, if any, relating to interest on the Securities to be converted to which the Holder is not entitled and (5) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. To convert a Global Security, a Holder must comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at such time.

     The Securities are in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any

A-6

Securities in respect of which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn (except, in the case of a Security to be purchased in part, the portion of the Security not to be purchased).

     The registered Holder of this Security shall be treated as the owner of this Security for all purposes.

     The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written request any money, Securities or shares of Common Stock held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Securities that remains unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After such return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or Securities must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

     Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding and (ii) certain Defaults and Events of Default may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture, to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA.

     Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (1) failure by the Company to pay when due the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Securities at maturity, upon exercise of a repurchase right or otherwise, whether or not such payment is prohibited by Article 11 of the Indenture; (2) failure by the Company to pay an installment of interest (or Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on any of the Securities that continues for 30 days after the date when due, whether or not such payment is prohibited by Article 11 of the Indenture; (3) failure by the Company to provide the Change of Control Notice in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.01 of the Indenture; (4) failure by the Company to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the Securities or the Indenture for a period of 60 days after written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same, shall have been given 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 Securities then outstanding (a “Notice of Default”); (5) failure by the Company to pay when due the principal of, or acceleration of, any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $25 million, because of a default with respect to such Indebtedness

A-7

without such Indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in either case, for a period of 10 days after the date of a Notice of Default; (6) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company; and (7) the Company’s filing of a voluntary petition seeking liquidation, reorganization arrangement, readjustment of debts or for any other relief under the federal bankruptcy code. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 of the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Securities becoming due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

     Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities, except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of amounts specified in clause (1) or (2) above) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests as provided in the Indenture.

     Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

     A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

     This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication on the other side of this Security.

     Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

B-2

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

2¼% Convertible Subordinated Securities due 2011

     Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated October 4, 2004 between the Company and The Bank of New York (the “Trustee”) unless otherwise indicated.

     The Company promises to pay interest at the Interest Rate in cash on the principal amount of this Security. The Company will pay cash interest semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on April 15, 2005, to Holders of record at the close of business on the preceding April 1 and October 1 (whether or not a business day) (each a “Regular Record Date”), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Cash interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. Cash interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay cash interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Securities, and it shall pay interest in cash on overdue installments of cash interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. All such overdue cash interest shall be payable on demand. Upon conversion, accrued and unpaid interest shall be deemed paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make payments in respect of the principal of, and cash interest on this Security and in respect of the Change in Control Purchase Price and the Make-Whole Premium, if any, to Holders who surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Securities. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may make such cash payments by check or wire transfer payable in such money. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as this Security is registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all payments hereon shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. Any payment required to be made on any day that is not a Business Day will be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

3. Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar.

     Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice, other than notice to the Trustee except that the Company will maintain at least one Paying Agent in the State of New York, City of New York, The Borough of Manhattan, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

B-3

     The Company issued the Securities under the Indenture. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect from time to time (the “TIA”). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms.

     The Securities are general unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company limited to $280,000,000 aggregate principal amount (subject to Section 2.07 and Section 2.02 of the Indenture). The Indenture does not limit other indebtedness of the Company, secured or unsecured.

     No sinking fund is provided for the Securities.

     If there shall have occurred a Change in Control (subject to certain conditions provided for in the Indenture), each Holder, at such Holder’s option, shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, to require the Company to purchase its Securities (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is at least $1,000 or any whole multiple thereof, provided that the portion of the principal amount of this Security to be outstanding after such purchase is at least equal to $1,000) at the Change in Control Purchase Price in cash plus any accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the Change in Control Purchase Date.

     If there shall have occurred a Change in Control pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof, in which more than 10% of the consideration for the Common Stock in the transaction or transactions constituting the Change in Control consists of cash (other than cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ rights) and a Holder surrenders such Securities for purchase, the Company shall pay to such Holder a Make-Whole Premium in addition to the Change in Control Purchase Price. The Make-Whole Premium will also be paid on the Change in Control Purchase Date to the Holders of the Securities who convert their Securities on or after the date on which the Company has given a notice to all Holders of Securities in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Indenture and on or before the Change in Control Purchase Date.

     A written notice of the Change in Control will be given to the Holders as provided in the Indenture. To exercise a purchase right, a Holder must deliver to the Trustee a Change in Control Purchase Notice as provided in the Indenture.

     Holders have the right to withdraw any Change in Control Purchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

     The Indebtedness evidenced by this Security and the payment of the principal of and premium (including the Make-Whole Premium), if any, and interest (including Additional

B-4

Interest Amounts, if any) on each and all of the Securities is expressly subordinated and junior, to the extent and in the manner set forth and as set forth in the Indenture, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness ; provided, however, that the Securities, the Indebtedness represented thereby and the payment of the principal of and premium (including the Make-Whole Premium), if any, and interest (including Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on the Securities in all respects shall rank equally with, or prior to, all existing and future Indebtedness of the Company that is expressly subordinated to any Senior Indebtedness. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

     Subject to the Article 10 of the Indenture, a Holder of a Security may convert such Security (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) into Common Stock at any time prior to the close of business on the last Business Day prior to October 15, 2011 or such earlier date set forth in the Indenture, at the Conversion Rate then in effect. Subject to certain conditions provided for in the Indenture, in certain circumstances, a Holder may receive an amount in cash equal to the Make-Whole Premium, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable, or cash payment, on conversion of such Security.

     The initial “Conversion Rate” is 64.3211 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities and is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Change in Control Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted only if such Change in Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock.

     To convert a Certificated Security, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice below (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent, the Company or the Trustee, (4) pay all funds required, if any, relating to interest on the Securities to be converted to which the Holder is not entitled and (5) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. To convert a Global Security, a Holder must comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at such time.

     The Securities are in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or any Securities

B-5

in respect of which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn (except, in the case of a Security to be purchased in part, the portion of the Security not to be purchased).

     The registered Holder of this Security shall be treated as the owner of this Security for all purposes.

     The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written request any money, Securities or shares of Common Stock held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Securities that remains unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After such return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or Securities must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

     Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding and (ii) certain Defaults and Events of Default may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture, to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA.

     Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (1) failure by the Company to pay when due the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Securities at maturity, upon exercise of a repurchase right or otherwise, whether or not such payment is prohibited by Article 11 of the Indenture; (2) failure by the Company to pay an installment of interest (or Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on any of the Securities that continues for 30 days after the date when due whether or not such payment is prohibited by Article 11 of the Indenture; (3) failure by the Company to provide the Change of Control Notice in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.01 of the Indenture; (4) failure by the Company to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the Securities or the Indenture for a period of 60 days after written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same, shall have been given 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 Securities then outstanding (a “Notice of Default”); (5) failure by the Company to pay when due the principal of, or acceleration of, any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $25 million, because of a default with respect to such Indebtedness

B-6

without such Indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in either case, for a period of 10 days after the date of a Notice of Default; (6) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company; and (7) the Company’s filing of a voluntary petition seeking liquidation, reorganization arrangement, readjustment of debts or for any other relief under the federal bankruptcy code. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 of the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Securities becoming due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

     Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities, except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of amounts specified in clause (1) or (2) above) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests as provided in the Indenture.

     Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

     A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

     This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication on the other side of this Security.

     Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).
