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

The Company may arrange for a third party to purchase Notes for which the Company has received a valid Change in Control Purchase Notice that has not been properly withdrawn, in the manner and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein and in the Notes. If a third party purchases any Notes under such circumstances, then interest will continue to accrue on the Notes and such Notes will continue to be Outstanding after the Change in Control Purchase Date for all purposes of the Indenture and will be fungible with all other Notes then Outstanding. The third party subsequently may resell those purchased Notes to other investors.

Section 2.10. Make Whole Amount. If the Effective Date (as defined below) of a Change in Control occurs prior to November 20, 2015 as a result of a transaction or event described in clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of Change in Control and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.11(d) hereof, the Company shall increase the applicable Conversion Rate for such Notes surrendered for conversion by a number of additional Common Shares (the “Additional Shares”) as specified below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such a Change in Control if the notice of conversion of the Notes is received by the Conversion Agent

on any date from and including the date that is the Effective Date of such Change in Control up to and including the 30th Business Day following the Effective Date of such Change in Control.

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

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

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

Share Price


Effective date	$12.85		$14.00		$15.00		$16.00		$18.00		$20.00		$22.00		$25.00		$30.00		$35.00		$40.00		$45.00		$50.00
11/5/2010		16.7849		14.1925		11.5928		9.6160		6.7117		4.7654		3.4339		2.1480		1.0203		0.4862		0.2162		0.0761		0.0085

11/15/2014		16.7849		11.7547		8.4396		5.9557		2.8345		1.2932		0.5858		0.1987		0.0594		0.0232		0.0016		0.0000		0.0000
11/20/2015		16.7849		10.3925		5.6306		1.4620		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000

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

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

(b) if the Share Price is equal to or in excess of $50.00 per Common Share (subject to adjustment as specified in the second preceding paragraph), no Additional Shares will be delivered upon a conversion of Notes; and

(c) if the Share Price is less than $12.85 per Common Share (subject to adjustment as specified in the second preceding paragraph), no Additional Shares will be delivered upon a conversion of Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of Common Shares deliverable upon a conversion of Notes exceed 77.8210 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof.

Section 2.11. Conversion Rights.

Subject to the restrictions on ownership of the Common Shares as set forth in Section 2.16 hereof and to the conditions set forth herein, Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion for cash and, if applicable, Common Shares (or, at the election of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 hereof, cash in lieu of such Common Shares) at the applicable Conversion Rate prior to the close of business on the Business Day preceding May 15, 2040 only under the circumstances set forth in this Section 2.11. On or after May 15, 2040 until the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Notes, Holders may convert their Notes at any time, regardless of the circumstances set forth in this Section 2.11.

(a) Conversion upon Satisfaction of Market Price Condition. A Holder may surrender any of its Notes for conversion during any fiscal quarter beginning after December 31, 2010 (and only during such fiscal quarter) if, and only if, the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the preceding fiscal quarter is more than 125% of the Conversion Price per Common Share in effect on the applicable Trading Day. The Board of Directors of the Company shall make appropriate adjustments, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the ex-dividend date of the event occurs, during that 30 consecutive Trading Day period.

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

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture (including, but not limited to, the definition of Trading Price or this Section 2.11 hereof), the sole

method by which the Trustee shall determine the Trading Price shall be by the appointment by the Trustee, at the cost and expense of the Company, of a bid solicitation agent that shall be an independent nationally recognized investment banking firm to determine the Trading Price as required by this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture. Such bid solicitation agent shall perform all functions and duties that may be required of the Trustee herein in connection with or related to the determination of a Trading Price. So long as the Trustee has exercised reasonable care in the appointment of such bid solicitation agent, the Trustee shall not be liable for any negligent acts or omissions, or misconduct, of such bid solicitation agent.

(c) Conversion upon Notice of Redemption. A Holder may surrender for conversion any of the Notes called for redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time. The right to convert Notes pursuant to this clause (c) will expire after the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption. A Holder may convert fewer than all of its Notes so long as the Notes converted are an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount and the remaining principal amount of Notes is in an authorized denomination. However, if a Holder has already delivered a Purchase Notice or a Change in Control Purchase Notice with respect to a Note, such Holder may not surrender such Note for conversion until it has withdrawn such notice in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.08 or 2.09 hereof, as the case may be.

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

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

(ii) distribute to all holders of Common Shares assets, debt securities or certain rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day preceding the declaration date of such distribution,

the Company shall notify the Holders of the Notes in writing at least 45 days prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution. Following the giving of such notice, Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the ex-dividend date or an announcement that such distribution will not take place; provided, however, that a Holder may not exercise this right to convert if the Holder may participate, on an as-converted basis (assuming for such purposes that the Notes are convertible solely in Common Shares at the then applicable Conversion Rate), in the distribution without a conversion of Notes. The ex-dividend date is the first date upon which a sale of the Common Shares does not automatically transfer the right to receive the relevant distribution from the seller of Common Shares to its buyer.

In addition, if the Company is party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange pursuant to which all of the Common Shares would be exchanged for cash, securities or other property that is not otherwise a Change in Control, a Holder may surrender Notes for conversion

at any time from and including the date that is 15 Business Days prior to the Effective Date of the transaction up to and including five Business Days after the actual date of such transaction. The Company shall notify Holders as promptly as practicable following the date it publicly announces such transaction (but in no event less than 15 Business Days prior to the anticipated effective time of such transaction).

If a Change in Control occurs as a result of a transaction described in clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of “Change in Control”, a Holder will have the right to convert its Notes at any time from and including the Effective Date of such transaction up to and including the 30th Business Day following the Effective Date of the transaction, provided that, if a Holder has already delivered a Change in Control Purchase Notice with respect to a Note, such Holder may not surrender such Note for conversion until it has withdrawn such notice in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.09 hereof. The Company will notify Holders as promptly as practicable following the date that it publicly announces such Change in Control (but in no event later than five Business Days prior to the Effective Date of such Change in Control).

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

Section 2.12. Conversion Settlement. Upon conversion of Notes, the Company shall pay cash up to the principal amount of such Notes and, to the extent that the conversion value (calculated in the manner set forth in this Section 2.12) exceeds the principal amount of such Notes, cash, Common Shares or a combination thereof (at the election of the Company) in respect of the excess, all as set forth in this Section 2.12.

Upon a conversion of Notes, the Company shall deliver, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, a settlement amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 30 Trading Days during the Observation Period.

The “Daily Settlement Amount,” for each of the 30 Trading Days during the Observation Period, shall consist of:

(a) cash equal to the lesser of (i) one-thirtieth of $1,000 and (ii) the Daily Conversion Value (defined below); and

(b) to the extent the Daily Conversion Value exceeds one-thirtieth of $1,000, a number of Common Shares (the “Daily Share Amount”), subject to the Company’s right to pay cash in lieu of all or a portion of such Common Shares as set forth herein, equal to (i) the difference between the Daily Conversion Value and one-thirtieth of $1,000, divided by (ii) the Daily VWAP (defined below) for such Trading Day.

By the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day prior to the first Scheduled Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period, the Company may specify a percentage of the Daily Share Amount that will be settled in cash (the “Cash Percentage”) and the Company shall notify Holders of Notes of such Cash Percentage by notifying the Trustee (the “Cash Percentage Notice”). If the Company elects to specify a Cash Percentage, the amount of cash

that the Company shall deliver in lieu of all or the applicable portion of the Daily Share Amount in respect of each Trading Day in the applicable Observation Period will equal (i) the Cash Percentage, multiplied by (ii) the Daily Share Amount for such Trading Day (assuming the Company had not specified a Cash Percentage), multiplied by (iii) the Daily VWAP for such Trading Day. The number of Common Shares deliverable in respect of each Trading Day in the applicable Observation Period will be a percentage of the Daily Share Amount (assuming the Company had not specified a Cash Percentage) equal to 100% minus the Cash Percentage. If the Company does not specify a Cash Percentage, the Company must settle the entire Daily Share Amount for each Trading Day in such Observation Period in Common Shares (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares). The Company may, at its option, revoke any Cash Percentage Notice in respect of any Observation Period by notifying the Trustee; provided that the Company revokes such notice by the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day prior to the first Scheduled Trading Day of such Observation Period.

“Daily Conversion Value” means, for each of the 30 consecutive Trading Days during the Observation Period, one-thirtieth of the product of (i) the applicable Conversion Rate and (ii) the Daily VWAP of the Common Shares on such Trading Day.

“Daily VWAP” means, for each of the 30 consecutive Trading Days during the Observation Period, the per share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “DDR.N <equity> AQR” (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) in respect of the period from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Common Share on such Trading Day determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the Company). Daily VWAP will be determined without regard to after hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session trading hours.

“Observation Period” with respect to any Note means:

(i) if the relevant Conversion Date occurs prior to May 15, 2040 (other than in the case of a conversion following a notice of redemption as set forth in clause (ii) below), the 30 consecutive Trading Day period beginning on and including the second Trading Day after the Conversion Date;

(ii) if the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after the date of issuance of a notice of redemption in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.07 hereof but prior to the relevant Redemption Date, the 30 consecutive Trading Days beginning on and including the 32nd Scheduled Trading Day preceding such Redemption Date; and

(iii) if the Conversion Date occurs on or after May 15, 2040, the 30 consecutive Trading Days beginning on and including the 32nd Scheduled Trading Day preceding November 15, 2040.

For the purposes of determining payment upon conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12, “Trading Day” means a day during which (i) trading in Common Shares generally occurs on the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange

or market on which Common Shares are listed or admitted for trading and (ii) there is no Market Disruption Event.

“Scheduled Trading Day” means a day that is scheduled to be a Trading Day on the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange or market on which Common Shares are listed or admitted for trading.

For the purposes of determining payment upon conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12, “Market Disruption Event” means (i) a failure by the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange or market on which Common Shares are listed or admitted to trading to open for trading during its regular trading session or (ii) the occurrence or existence prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Trading Day for Common Shares for an aggregate one half hour period of any suspension or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the stock exchange or otherwise) in Common Shares or in any options, contracts or future contracts relating to Common Shares.

The Company shall deliver the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 30 Trading Days during the Observation Period to converting Holders on the third Business Day following the last day of the Observation Period.

The Company shall deliver cash in lieu of any fractional Common Share deliverable in connection with payment of the settlement amount (based on the Closing Sale Price of Common Shares on the last day of the applicable Observation Period).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


where

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

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

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

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

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

readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

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


where

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

CR₁	=	the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account

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

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

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

For purposes of this clause (b), in determining whether any rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase, or exercise a conversion right for, Common Shares at less than the applicable Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. If any right, warrant, option, other security or convertible

security described in this clause (b) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security had not been so issued.

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

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

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

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

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


where

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

CR₁	=	the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account

SP₀	=	the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution

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

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

If the Company distributes to all holders of Common Shares capital shares of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the date fixed for determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such distribution will be adjusted based on the following formula:


where

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

CR₁	=	the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account

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

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

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

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

(d) If the Company pays or makes any cash dividend or distribution in respect of any of its quarterly fiscal periods (without regard to when paid) to all holders of Common Shares in an aggregate amount that, together with other cash dividends or distributions made in respect of such quarterly fiscal period, exceeds the product of $0.02 (the “Reference Dividend”) multiplied by the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:


where

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

CR₁	=	the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account


SP₀	=	the Closing Sale Price of Common Shares on the Trading Day preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution

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

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

The Reference Dividend shall be subject to adjustment on account of any of the events set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above and clause (e) below. Any such adjustment will be effected by multiplying the Reference Dividend by a fraction, the numerator of which will equal the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment on account of such event and the denominator of which will equal the Conversion Rate as adjusted.

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


where

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

CR₁	=	the new Conversion Rate taking such event into account

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

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


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

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

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

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

(f) [RESERVED]

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

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

the period during which it will be in effect at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect in accordance with applicable law.

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

The Company will not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes are permitted to participate, on an as-converted basis, in the transactions described above.

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

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

(ii) the issuance of any Common Shares or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan, employee agreement or arrangement or program of the Company;

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

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

(v) accumulated and unpaid dividends or distributions; and

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

Adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate will be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share. No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate. If the adjustment is not made because the adjustment does not change the Conversion Rate by at least 1%, then the adjustment that is not made will be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all adjustments not previously made will be given effect with respect to any conversion of Notes.

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

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

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

Section 2.15. Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

(a) If any of the following events occur:

(i) any recapitalization or reclassification of, or change in, the Common Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination or a change in par value);

(ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company; or

(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries substantially as an entirety; or

(iv) any statutory share exchange;

in each case as a result of which all of the Common Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing that at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert a Note will be changed into a right to convert such Note as set forth in this Indenture into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the type and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one Common Share is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event the conversion obligation shall be calculated and settled in accordance with Section 2.12 such that (i) the amount otherwise payable in cash upon conversion

of the Notes as set forth under Section 2.12 will continue to be payable in cash, (ii) the number of Common Shares (if the Company does not elect to pay cash in lieu of all such shares) deliverable upon conversion of the Notes under Section 2.12 will be instead deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of Common Shares would have been entitled to receive in such Merger Event and (iii) the Daily VWAP and the Closing Sale Price will be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.

If, as a result of the Merger Event, each Common Share is converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (x) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Shares that affirmatively make such an election, and (y) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the foregoing sentence shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (x) attributable to one Common Share.

The Company shall not become a party to any such Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 2.15. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for herein in the judgment of the Board of Directors or the board of directors of the successor Person. If, in the case of any such recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, other transfer or statutory share exchange, the Reference Property receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Shares includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, other transfer or statutory share exchange, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person.

(b) 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 of the Notes maintained by the Registrar, within 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 2.15 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. If this Section 2.15 applies to any Merger Event, Section 2.14 shall not apply.

Section 2.16. Ownership Limit; Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or the instructions contained herein, no Holder of Notes shall be entitled to convert such Notes for Common Shares to the extent that receipt of such shares would cause such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates) to exceed the ownership limit contained in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company as in effect from time to time.

At the Maturity of the principal of the Notes, whether at Stated Maturity or upon earlier redemption or repurchase of Notes or otherwise, and upon any date upon which interest is payable on the Notes, and as otherwise required by law, the Company may deduct and withhold from the amount of consideration otherwise deliverable to such Holder the amount required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law.

Section 2.17. Merger, Consolidation or Sale.

Section 801 of the Indenture, for purposes of the Notes, is hereby modified and amended to include the following additional proviso:

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

Section 2.18. Satisfaction and Discharge.

(a) The satisfaction and discharge provisions set forth in this Section 2.18 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede the entirety of ARTICLE FOUR of the Original Indenture, and all references in the Original Indenture to ARTICLE FOUR thereof and satisfaction and discharge provisions therein, as the case may be, shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to be references to this Section 2.18 and the satisfaction and discharge provisions set forth in this Section 2.18, respectively.

When (i) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore canceled, or (ii) all the Notes not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable (whether at Stated Maturity for the payment of the principal amount thereof, on any Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date or following the last day of the applicable Observation Period upon conversion or otherwise) and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, in trust, or deliver to the Holders, as applicable, cash funds and Common Shares, as applicable, sufficient to pay all amounts due (and Common Shares deliverable following conversion, if applicable) on all of such Notes (other than any Notes that shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and interest due, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then the Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes (except as to (A) rights hereunder of Holders of the Notes to receive all amounts owing upon the Notes and the other rights, duties and obligations of Holders of the Notes, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any, so deposited with the Trustee and (B) the obligations of the Company to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606 of the Indenture and the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 611 of the Indenture), and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as to the Notes have been complied with) and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes.

(b) Subject to Section 2.18(d), all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.18(a) shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Holders of the Notes, 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 of the

particular Notes for the payment or redemption of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest, if any.

(c) Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all monies then held by any Paying Agent of the Notes (other than the Trustee) shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies.

(d) Subject to the requirements of applicable law, any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee for payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the Holders of the Notes for two years after the date upon which the principal of or interest, if any, on such Notes, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee on demand and all liability of the Trustee shall thereupon cease with respect to such monies; and the Holder of any of the Notes shall thereafter look only to the Company for any payment that such Holder of the Notes may be entitled to collect unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

(e) If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 2.18(b) 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 the Notes and the Indenture with respect to the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to 2.18(a) until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 2.18(b); provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of interest on or principal of any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(f) The provisions of ARTICLE FOURTEEN of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.

Section 2.19. Events of Default; Waiver of Past Defaults.

(a) Section 501 of the Indenture is modified and amended for purposes of the Notes to add the following Events of Default as clauses (9) and (10):

“(9) default in the delivery when due of the amounts owing upon conversion, on the terms set forth herein and in the Notes, upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion right in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Notes and the continuation of such default for 10 days;”

- and -

“(10) failure of the Company to provide a Company Notice within 20 days after the occurrence of a Change in Control as provided in Section 2.09 of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture.”

(b) Clause five of Section 501 of the Indenture is modified and amended for purposes of the Notes to read as follows :

“if any event of default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness of the Company (including an Event of Default with respect to any other series of Securities), or under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument of the Company under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness of the Company (or by any Subsidiary, the repayment of which the Company has guaranteed or for which the Company is directly responsible or liable as obligor or guarantor), whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, shall happen and shall result in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $25,000,000 becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such indebtedness having been discharged, or such acceleration having been waived, rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Notes Outstanding a written notice specifying such event of default and requiring the Company to cause such indebtedness to be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder. Subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such event of default unless either (A) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such event of default or (B) the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, from any Holder, from the holder of any such indebtedness or from the trustee under any such mortgage, indenture or other instrument; or”

(c) Section 502 of the Indenture is modified and amended with respect to the Notes to add the following as the final two paragraphs thereto:

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent elected by the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations under Section 2.25 of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture or for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, will for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive special interest (“Special Interest”) on the Notes at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Notes. This Special Interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date following the date on which such Special Interest shall have begun to accrue on the Notes. Special Interest shall accrue on all Outstanding Notes from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the reporting obligations in Section 2.25 of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture or the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act first occurs to but not including the 365th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived). On such 365th day (or earlier, if such Event of Default is cured or waived prior to such 365th day), such Special Interest shall cease to accrue and, if the Event of Default relating to reporting obligations has not been cured or waived prior to such 365th day, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in the first

paragraph of this Section 502. The provisions of the Indenture described in this paragraph shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Special Interest upon an Event of Default in accordance with this paragraph, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 502.

If the Company elects to pay Special Interest in connection with an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations under Section 2.25 of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture or for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the Company shall notify all Holders of Notes and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs.”

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

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

(e) Section 513 of the Indenture is modified and amended for purposes of the Notes to add the following as clause (3):

(3) “in respect of the failure to convert any Notes in accordance with their terms.”

Section 2.20. Modification. Section 902 of the Indenture is modified for purposes of the Notes to add the following as clauses (4) and (5):

“(4) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the payment and delivery of amounts owing upon conversion of the Notes; or

(5) make any change that impairs or adversely affects the rights of a Holder to convert Notes in accordance with the terms hereof and the Notes; or”

Section 2.21. Certain Covenants Not Applicable to the Notes. The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefits of the covenants set forth in Sections 1004 through 1011, inclusive, and Section 1015 of the Indenture.

Section 2.22. Calculations in Respect of the Notes. Except as otherwise specifically stated herein or in the Notes, all calculations to be made in respect of the Notes shall be the obligation of the Company. All calculations made by the Company or its agent as contemplated pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Notes shall be made in good faith and be final and binding on the Company and the Holders absent manifest error. The Company shall provide a schedule of

calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the calculations by the Company without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward calculations made by the Company to any Holder of Notes upon written request within 20 Business Days after the effective date of any adjustment.

Section 2.23. Authorized Denominations. The Notes shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof and payments of principal and interest on the Notes shall be made in U.S. dollars.

Section 2.24. Conversion Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Registrar. U.S. Bank National Association, is hereby appointed as Conversion Agent, Paying Agent and the Security Registrar for the Notes. The Security Register for the Notes will be maintained by the Security Registrar at the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Conversion Agent, the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar.

Section 2.25. Provision of Financial Information. The Company, for so long as any Notes are Outstanding, within 15 days after it is required to file the same with the Commission, will file with the Trustee all annual, quarterly and other reports that it may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate). If the Company is not required to file the foregoing forms or reports with the Commission, then it will file with the Trustee and the Commission such reports as may be prescribed by the Commission at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee agrees that the Company shall be deemed to have furnished such information referred to in this Section 2.25 to the Trustee if the Company shall have filed such reports with the Commission via the EDGAR filing system (or any successor system) and such reports and other information are publicly available.

Section 2.26. Special Interest Notice. In the event that the Company shall have elected to pay Special Interest in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19(c), the Company will provide written notice (“Special Interest Notice”) to the Trustee of its election to pay Special Interest no later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the proposed payment date for Special Interest, and the Special Interest Notice shall set forth the amount of Special Interest to be paid by the Company on such payment date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine the Special Interest, or with respect to the nature, extent or calculation of the amount of Special Interest when made, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Special Interest.

ARTICLE THREE
FORM OF NOTES

Section 3.01. Form of Notes. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture or as may be required by the Depositary or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

ARTICLE FOUR
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 4.01. Relation to Original Indenture. This Twelfth Supplemental Indenture supplements and amends the Original Indenture and shall be a part of and subject to all the terms thereof. Except as supplemented and amended hereby, all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Original Indenture and the Securities issued thereunder shall continue in full force and effect.

Section 4.02. Concerning the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital herein, as such recitals shall be taken as statements of the Company, or the validity of the execution by the Company of this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this instrument.

Section 4.03. Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 4.04. Counterparts. This instrument may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 4.05. Governing Law. This instrument shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.

Section 4.06. No Shareholder Rights. A Holder of a Note, as such, shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company, including without limitation, voting rights and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Shares until such time as such Holder is deemed, in connection with a conversion of the Notes, to be a record holder of Common Shares on the final Trading Day of the related Observation Period in respect of Common Shares, if any, deliverable upon conversion.
