of the Company consist of 7,200,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

  4.4 Consents

     . All consents, approvals, orders and authorizations required on the part of such Purchaser in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the Notes, the issuance of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with their terms and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated herein have been obtained or made, other than (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust requirements in connection with the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and (ii) such consents, approvals, orders and authorizations the failure of which to make or obtain, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Adverse Effect.

  4.9 Investor Status

. Such Purchaser certifies and represents to the Company that such Purchaser is an

“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the Notes for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment.

  5. Covenants

  .

  5.1 HSR Approval

. The Company and the Sponsor Purchasers acknowledge that one or more filings under the

HSR Act may be necessary in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes. The Sponsor Purchasers shall be solely responsible for determining whether any filings under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust requirements may be necessary in connection with any conversion of Notes held by them and will promptly notify the Company if any such filing is required. To the extent required, the Company will cooperate with the Sponsor Purchasers in making any required filings under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust requirements in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes held by Sponsor Purchasers and the Company and the applicable Sponsor Purchaser(s) shall share equally in the payment of the

- 15 -


filing fees associated with any such filings. For the avoidance of doubt, any delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Indentures, including all such terms relating to compliance with the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust requirements.

  5.2 Shares Issuable Upon Conversion

     . The Company will at all times have and keep available for issuance such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to permit the conversion of the Notes into Common Stock as provided for in the Notes and Indentures, including as may be adjusted for share splits, combinations or other similar transactions. The Company will cause any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes to be listed with The Nasdaq Stock Market or such other stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock may then be listed by the Company.

  5.3 PORTAL and CUSIPs

. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (a) permit the Notes to be designated

PORTAL securities in accordance with the rules and regulations adopted by the NASD relating to the PORTAL Market as of the Closing or as promptly as practicable thereafter and (b) obtain all necessary Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures numbers (CUSIP numbers) for the Notes required for creating a market in Notes traded pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or which are not “restricted securities” for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Each Purchaser will provide all reasonable assistance and cooperation as may be requested by the Company to effectuate the intent and purposes of this Section 5.3. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Notes Beneficially Owned by the Purchasers to be issued (at the Closing and, failing that, as promptly as practicable thereafter) as an interest in the IAI Global Note (as defined in the applicable Indenture). Any interest in the IAI Global Note (as defined in the applicable Indenture) will be held through a brokerage account established and maintained with the Bank Purchaser; provided, however, that three months following the later of the Designee Termination Date or such time as Sponsor ceases to have an Affiliate or designee on the Board of Directors, the requirement set forth in this sentence shall terminate and, to the extent permitted by the Depositary Trust Corporation and the registrar for the Notes, such ownership interest may be transferred into the Restricted Global Note (as defined in the applicable Indenture).

  5.4 Further Assurances

     . Each party agrees to cooperate with each other and their respective officers, employees, attorneys, accountants and other agents, and, generally, do such other reasonable acts and things in good faith as may be necessary to effectuate the intents and purposes of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and compliance with applicable law, including taking reasonable action to facilitate the filing of any document or the taking of reasonable action to assist the other parties hereto in complying with the terms hereof.

  5.5 Board Designee

- 16 -


  .

     (a) Sponsor shall have the right to nominate pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 5.5 one nominee to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board Designee”). At the meeting of the Board of Directors scheduled for January 31, 2007, or within two months thereafter, the Company shall appoint the Board Designee to the Board of Directors and shall, if necessary, expand its Board of Directors by one member to create a vacancy for such purpose; provided, however, that no such appointment shall be required unless such nominee shall (i) be qualified and suitable to serve as a member of the Board of Directors under all applicable corporate governance policies or guidelines of the Company and the Board of Directors and applicable legal, regulatory and stock market requirements, (ii) meet the independence requirements with respect to the Company of Section 4200(a)(15) of the Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market or any successor thereto, and (iii) be acceptable to the Board of Directors (including the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors) in its good faith discretion. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor has designated Michael Marks as a nominee for Board Designee. The Sponsor will take all necessary action to cause any nominee for Board Designee to make himself or herself reasonably available for interviews, to consent to such reference and background checks or other investigations and to provide such information (including information necessary to determine the nominee’s independence status under various requirements and institutional investor guidelines as well as information necessary to determine any disclosure obligations of the Company) as the Board of Directors or its Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee may reasonably request. Provided that the Board Designee then meets the requirements set forth in the second sentence of this Section 5.5(a) and the Sponsor Purchasers, collectively, then Own at least $350 million principal amount of the Notes, the Company shall nominate the Board Designee for re-election as a director at the end of each term of such Board Designee as part of the slate proposed by the Company that is included in the proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document) of the Company relating to the election of the Board of Directors. In the event that the Board Designee ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors, so long as the Sponsor Purchasers, collectively, Own at least $350 million principal amount of the Notes, Sponsor may select another person as a nominee for Board Designee to fill the vacancy created thereby and, if the Board of Directors determines that such nominee meets the criteria set forth in the second sentence of this Section 5.5(a), such nominee shall become the Board Designee and shall be appointed to fill such vacancy. It shall be a condition to the appointment or nomination for election or re-election of any Board Designee that such Board Designee tender a conditional resignation letter prior to his or her appointment or nomination for election or re-election to the Board of Directors providing such Board Designee’s irrevocable offer of resignation from the Board of Directors effective upon the Designee Termination Date or upon such other circumstances as may be provided for under the corporate governance policies or guidelines of the Company or the Board of Directors; provided, that the Board Designee shall not be required to submit his or her conditional resignation from the Board of Directors under circumstances provided for under any such guideline added after the date hereof which would in its practical application discriminatorily affect only the Sponsor Purchasers and their Affiliates and which is not reasonably supported by a rational legal or business purpose unrelated to the Sponsor Purchasers’ investment in the Securities (except as may be required by legal

- 17 -


or regulatory requirements) other than discriminatory treatment of the Sponsor Purchasers and their Affiliates.

     (b) The Board Designee shall be subject to the policies and requirements of the Company and its Board of Directors, including the Corporate Governance Guidelines of the Board of Directors and the Company’s Standards of Business Conduct, in a manner consistent with the application of such policies and requirements to other members of the Board of Directors. The Company shall indemnify the Board Designee and provide the Board Designee with director and officer insurance to the same extent it indemnifies and provides insurance for the members of the Board of Directors pursuant to its organizational documents, applicable law or otherwise.

     (c) All obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall terminate upon the first to occur of: (i) such time as the Sponsor Purchasers, collectively, do not Own at least $350 million principal amount of the Notes, (ii) the Company sells all or substantially all of its assets, (iii) any Person or “group” (as such term is used in Section 13 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, obtains Beneficial Ownership of 50% or more of the total outstanding voting power of the Voting Stock, (iv) the Company participates in any merger, consolidation or similar transaction unless immediately following the consummation of such transaction the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction continue to hold (in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to the transaction) more than 50% of all of the outstanding common stock or other securities entitled to vote for the election of directors of the surviving or resulting entity in such transaction, (v) the Sponsor irrevocably waives and terminates all of its rights under this Section 5.5, (vi) the Board Designee is removed from the Board of Directors for cause by the stockholders of the Company or (vii) the Company delivers written notice that Sponsor or any Sponsor Purchaser has breached the terms of this Agreement in any material respect and the Sponsor Purchaser does not cure any such breach within 10 days of such notice, provided that no cure period shall apply if such breach is of a nature which cannot be cured. The date of termination pursuant to this clause (c) of the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 5.5 is sometimes referred to herein as the “Designee Termination Date”).

                   5.6    Standstill 
       
    (a)    Sponsor agrees that, until the Standstill Termination Date, without the 

prior consent of the Board of Directors (excluding any Board Designee), Sponsor shall not and Sponsor shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly:

     (i) acquire or Beneficially Own Voting Stock or authorize or make any offer to acquire Voting Stock, if the effect of such acquisition or offer (if consummated) would be to increase the percentage of the Voting Stock represented by all shares of Voting Stock Beneficially Owned by Sponsor and its Affiliates to more than 5% of the Voting Stock outstanding (not including any Common Stock received by a Purchaser upon conversion of any Note);

- 18 -


     (ii) authorize, commence, encourage, support or endorse any tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Voting Stock;

     (vi) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Company or any successor thereto to make a public announcement regarding the possibility of any of the events described in clauses (i) through (v) above;

    (vii)    enter into any arrangements with any third party concerning 
any of the foregoing; or         
 
    (viii)    request the Company or any of its Representatives, directly or 

indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 5.6.

     (b) The restrictions set forth in Section 5.6(a) will not apply if any of the following occurs (provided, that if any event described in this Section 5.6(b) occurs and, during the twelve month period following such event, none of the transactions described in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the definition of Designee Termination Date has occurred, then the restrictions set forth in Section 5.6(a) will thereafter resume and continue to apply if a Board Designee is then serving as a member of the Board of Directors, provided, further, at the time of any such resumption of the restrictions set forth in Section 5.6(a), if the number of shares of Voting Stock then owned by Sponsor and its Affiliates then exceeds 5% of the Voting Stock outstanding (not including any Common Stock received by a Purchaser upon conversion of any Notes), neither Sponsor nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to dispose of any shares of Voting Stock Beneficially Owned by them but, in such event, neither Sponsor nor any of its Affiliates may then acquire Beneficial Ownership of additional Voting Stock (other than Common Stock received by a Purchaser upon conversion of any Notes) unless the Beneficial Ownership percentage of Sponsor and its Affiliates would, following such acquisition, be an amount below 5% of the Voting Stock then outstanding (not including any Common Stock received by a Purchaser upon conversion of any Notes)):

     (i) a third party who is not an Affiliate of Sponsor (a “Third Party”) commences (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) a bona fide tender or exchange offer for more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock and the Board of Directors

- 19 -


does not recommend against the tender or exchange offer within ten (10) business days after the commencement thereof or such longer period as shall then be permitted under SEC rules; or

    (ii)    a Third Party acquires beneficial ownership of 50% of the 
outstanding Voting Stock;         
 
    (iii)    the Company enters into an agreement pursuant to which a 

Third Party would acquire all or substantially all of the stock or assets of the Company or the Company would be merged or consolidated with another Person, unless immediately following the consummation of such transaction the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction would continue to hold (in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to the transaction) more than 50% of all of the outstanding common stock or other securities entitled to vote for the election of directors of the surviving or resulting entity in such transaction or any direct or indirect parent thereof; or

     (iv) the Company publicly announces that it is exploring strategic alternatives, or makes any similar public announcement indicating that it is actively seeking a “sale” of the Company and, in any such event, such announcement is made with the approval of the Board of Directors.

     (c) Nothing in clause (ii) or clause (v) of Section 5.6(a) shall be construed to prohibit the Board Designee from confidentially, in good faith and in the performance of his or her duties as a member of the Board of Directors, discussing a proposal made by the Company or a Third Party concerning any extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any successor thereto, any Subsidiary or division thereof, or any of their securities or assets, with the Board of Directors and representatives of the Company and its advisors who are involved in the evaluation or execution of any such proposal on behalf of the Company.

     (d) Upon an increase in the Beneficial Ownership percentage of Sponsor and its Affiliates to an amount in excess of 5% of the Voting Stock outstanding (not including any Common Stock received by a Purchaser upon conversion of any Notes) resulting solely from a repurchase or redemption of Voting Stock by the Company or any similar transaction that reduces the number of outstanding shares of Voting Stock of the Company, neither Sponsor nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to dispose of any Securities Beneficially Owned by them; provided, however, that in such event, neither Sponsor nor any of their Affiliates may acquire Beneficial Ownership of additional Voting Stock (other than Common Stock received by a Purchaser upon conversion of any Notes) unless the Beneficial Ownership percentage of Sponsor and its Affiliates would, following such acquisition, be an amount below 5% of the Voting Stock then outstanding (not including any Common Stock received by a Purchaser upon conversion of any Notes).

     (e) Sponsor and each Sponsor Purchaser agree that, until the Standstill Termination Date, they shall promptly notify the Company of any new acquisition or disposition, or entry into any agreement or arrangement which could reasonably result in any new acquisition or disposition, of Beneficial Ownership of Voting Stock or Securities by Sponsor or any of its Affiliates, including the material details thereof.

- 20 -

     (a) No Sponsor Purchaser shall sell, assign, pledge, loan, hedge, transfer or otherwise dispose or encumber (collectively, “Transfer”) any of the Securities during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending three months following the Closing Date (such three month period, the “Restricted Period”), except for Transfers to an Affiliated Entity, in each case that delivers a written instrument to the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company confirming that the transferee is subject to the obligations of this Agreement (including the obligations contained in this Section 7) and is a Sponsor Purchaser hereunder (it being acknowledged and understood that no such Transfer by a Sponsor Purchaser shall relieve such Sponsor Purchaser from its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement) (a “Permitted Transfer”) and except for the pledge of the Notes pursuant to the Security Agreements.

     (b) Following the Restricted Period, no Sponsor Purchaser may Transfer any of the Securities except (1) pursuant to and in compliance with a Sponsor Supported Distribution (as defined in the Rights Agreement), (2) at a time when trades in the Company’s securities are permitted pursuant to Section 7.1(c) below and in any event only pursuant to (i) a Transfer to the Company, (ii) a Permitted Transfer, (iii) a Transfer to a transferee that is not Sponsor or an Affiliate of Sponsor, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (iv) solely if no registration statement under the Securities Act is available for such sale, a Transfer to a “qualified institutional buyer” that is not Sponsor or an Affiliate of Sponsor pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (v) a Transfer to a transferee that is not Sponsor or an Affiliate of Sponsor pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act and (in the case of (v) only), if requested by the Company, upon delivery by such Sponsor Purchaser of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the proposed transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Company shall not register any Transfer of the Securities in violation of this Section 7.1. The Company may, and may instruct any transfer agent for the Company to, place such stop transfer orders as may be required on the transfer books of the Company in order to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.1.

     (c) Sponsor and each Sponsor Purchaser agree that, until the Policy Termination Date and except as otherwise permitted pursuant to a Sponsor Supported Distribution (as defined in the Rights Agreement) pursuant to the Rights Agreement, Sponsor and any Affiliate of Sponsor will be subject to all trading and hedging restrictions to which any Board Designee is or would be subject, including the requirements of Section 16(c) of the Exchange Act and the Company’s Market Communications and Stock Trading Policy; provided, that Sponsor and its Affiliates shall not be required to comply with any restriction on trading of securities of the Company which is added to any policy of the Company by amendment or adoption after the date hereof which would in its practical application discriminatorily affect only Sponsor and its Affiliates and which is not reasonably supported by a rational legal or business purpose unrelated to the Sponsor Purchasers’ investment in the Securities (except as may be required by legal or regulatory requirements) other than discriminatory treatment of Sponsor and its Affiliates. Sponsor shall cause each of its Affiliates to comply with the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.1(c) and shall be responsible for any action or inaction by any of its Affiliates that is contrary to the terms of this Section 7.1(c). Sponsor agrees that it and its Affiliates shall obtain pre-approval of Transfers to the

- 23 -


extent required under such policies. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any request for pre-approval of Transfers by Sponsor and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, Non-Investor Affiliates shall not be considered “Affiliates” for purposes of this Section 7.1(c) if any actions taken by them that would otherwise be prohibited by this Section 7.1(c) are not taken under the direction of Sponsor or any Affiliate (other than Non-Investor Affiliates) of Sponsor or any officer or general partner of Sponsor or any Affiliate (other than Non-Investor Affiliates) of Sponsor and if Confidential Information is not made available to such Non-Investor Affiliates or their Representatives.

     (d) The restrictions set forth in this Section 7.1 shall be in addition to the applicable transfer restrictions or other requirements set forth in the Indentures and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree to be bound thereby.

     (e) No Bank Purchaser shall Transfer any of the Securities except pursuant to a written instruction by the Sponsor Purchasers (which shall include settlement elections under the Swap Agreements (including in connection with a Swap Default where no such election is made)) (a “Transfer Instruction”) or pursuant to a Bank Purchaser Transfer Event. The Sponsor shall not issue or deliver a Transfer Instruction to a Bank Purchaser with respect to any Transfer that would, as to timing, manner of sale or otherwise, not be permitted to be made by a Sponsor Purchaser at such time pursuant to this Section 7.1 and will promptly notify the Company of any delivery of a Transfer Instruction to a Bank Purchaser and the terms thereof; provided that nothing in this Section 7.1 shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict the delivery of Notes by the Bank Purchaser to an Affiliated Entity at any time in accordance with Section 7.1(a) hereof and the terms of the Swap Agreements.

     (f) The Bank Purchaser shall not knowingly permit any Transfer of ownership of interests in any Securities held in or through a brokerage account with the Bank Purchaser in violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.1 or the Indentures; provided, however, that the Bank Purchaser may rely on written assurances from the Sponsor Purchasers that any such Transfer is in compliance with this Section 7.1 and the Indentures. Each of the Purchasers acknowledges and agrees that the Bank Purchaser shall promptly provide to the Company all information known to it concerning the ownership of interests in the IAI Global Note (as defined in the Indenture) held in or through any such account by the Sponsor Purchasers (or held by the Bank Purchaser pursuant to the terms of any of the Swap Agreements or the Security Agreements) as the Company may reasonably request and shall promptly provide all material information known to it concerning any transfers thereof promptly following the occurrence of any such transfer (including providing copies of any written assurances referred to in the first sentence of this Section 7.1(f)). Each of the Purchasers agrees that it will provide the Company with all information known to it concerning Beneficial Ownership in Securities of such Purchaser for its account as the Company may reasonably request and will provide the Company with all material information known to it concerning any Transfers thereof promptly following the occurrence of any such Transfer.

proceeding relating solely to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, to the general jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, and appellate courts thereof;

     (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same to the extent permitted by applicable law;

     (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the party, as the case may be, at its address set forth in Section 9.3 or at such other address of which the other party shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

- 27 -


     (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction for recognition and enforcement of any judgment or if jurisdiction in the courts referenced in the foregoing clause (i) are not available despite the intentions of the parties hereto;

     (v) agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court may be enforced in the courts of any jurisdiction to which such party is subject by a suit upon such judgment, provided that service of process is effected upon such party in the manner specified herein or as otherwise permitted by law;
