The principal amount of Notes then outstanding shall be payable at Stated Maturity.

The Company may, at any time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, hereafter issue additional notes of the same series as the Notes (“Additional Notes”) under the Indenture in the same currency and having the same interest rate, maturity and other terms (other than the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes and, at the option of the Company, the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Notes) and with the same CUSIP numbers as the Notes issued on the date of this Supplemental Indenture (the “Initial Notes”) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that such Additional Notes must be part of the same issue as the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Any such Additional Notes shall constitute a single series together with the Initial Notes for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitat ion, for purposes of any waivers, supplements or amendments to the Indenture requiring the approval of Holders of the Notes and any offers to purchase the Notes. All provisions of the Indenture shall be construed and interpreted to permit the issuance of such Additional Notes and to allow such Additional Notes to become fungible and interchangeable with the Initial Notes issued under the Indenture. No Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes.

The Form of Note, the Form of Notice of Conversion, the Form of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, the Form of Assignment and Transfer and the Form of Subsidiary Guarantee, shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibits A, B, C, D and E, respectively, hereto, which are incorporated into and shall be deemed a part of this Supplemental Indenture, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture, and the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined to be necessary or appropriate by the officers of the Company executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes.

Section 2.02.  Book-entry Provisions for Global Securities.  (a)  The Notes initially shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities without interest coupons (i) registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depositary and (ii) delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and Cede & Co., or such other Person designated by the Depositary as its nominee, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of any Holder.

(b)

If DTC continues as depositary for the Common Stock, each Holder of Physical Notes must rely on the procedures of DTC with respect to payment and delivery of Common Stock, if any, received by such Holder upon exercise of its Conversion Rights (and, if the Holder is not an Agent Member, on the procedures of the Agent Members through which the Holder owns its interest).

Section 2.03.  Reporting Requirement.  Section 704 of the Base Indenture shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Section 704. Reports by Company. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the Commission, copies of the quarterly and annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports, if any, that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act), and the Company shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 314(a).  Any quarterly or annual report or other information, document or other report that the Company files with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act on the Commission’s EDGAR system (or any successor system) shall be deemed to constitute delivery of such filing to the Trustee as of the time such documents are filed via EDGAR or any successor sy stem.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the purchase rights of the Holders of Notes or affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes pursuant to this Article 3.

Section 3.04.  No Payment Following Acceleration of the Notes.  There shall be no purchase of any Notes pursuant to this Article 3 if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.  The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it following acceleration of the Notes and shall deem canceled any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in which case, upon such return and cancelation, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 3.06.  Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.  A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice delivered pursuant to Section 3.02 may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Company Notice at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, specifying:

(b)

if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Notes; and

(c)

the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000;

provided, however, that if the Notes are represented by Global Securities, the notice of withdrawal must also comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.06. If the Notes are represented by Global Securities, such return must comply with the appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

Section 3.07.  Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price.  At any time prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein) an amount of money or securities (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.  If the Paying Agent holds money or securities sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Notes for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Supplemental Indenture on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then as of such Fundament al Change Purchase Date, (a) such Notes will cease to be outstanding and interest (including any Additional Interest) will cease to accrue thereon (whether or not book-entry transfer of such Notes is made or such Notes have been delivered to the Paying Agent) and (b) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes in respect thereof will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price).



10




Section 3.08.  Notes Purchased in Whole or in Part.  Any Note that is to be purchased, whether in whole or in part, shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires in the case of Physical Notes, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered that is not purchased.

Section 3.09.  Covenant to Comply With Applicable Laws Upon Purchase of Notes.  In connection with any offer to purchase Notes under Section 3.01 hereof, the Company shall, in each case if required, (a) comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable, (b) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act and (c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 3.01 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 3.01, and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Indenture by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

Section 3.10.  Repayment to the Company.  To the extent that the aggregate amount of money or securities deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.07 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then, following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Paying Agent shall promptly return any such excess to the Company.

ARTICLE 4

CONVERSION

Section 4.01.  Right to Convert.  (a)  Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, each Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert the principal amount of any such Notes, or any portion of such principal amount equal to $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000 thereof, at the Conversion Rate then in effect for such Notes (x) prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding December 1, 2014, only upon satisfaction of one or more of the conditions described in clauses (i) through (iv) below and (y) on or after December 1, 2014, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding June 1, 2015, irrespective of the conditions described in clauses (i) through (iv) below.

(i)

Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding December 1, 2014, a Holder of Notes may surrender all or a portion of its Notes for conversion during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) commencing after June 30, 2009 if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable Conversion Price in effect on each applicable Trading Day.  The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent if the Notes become convertible in accordance with this Section 4.01(a)(i).

(ii)

Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding December 1, 2014, a Holder of Notes may surrender its Notes for conversion during the five Business Day period after any 10 consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.01(a)(ii), for each Trading Day of such Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate on such Trading Day (the “Trading Price Condition”).  The Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes in accordance with this Section 4.01(a)(ii) unless requested by the Company, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder of Notes provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the



11



applicable Conversion Rate.  The Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine (or, if the Company is then acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall determine) the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day promptly following the receipt of such evidence and on each successive Trading Day until such Trading Day on which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate.  If the Company does not so instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain (or, if the Company is then acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company does not obtain) bids when required, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes will be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applica ble Conversion Rate on each day the Company fails to do so.  If the Trading Price Condition has been met, the Company shall so notify Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent.  If, at any time after the Trading Price Condition has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate for such date, the Company shall so notify the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent.

(iii)

If the Company elects to:

(A)

issue to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock certain rights or warrants described in Section 4.04(b); or

(B)

distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock assets, debt securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of announcement for such distribution,

then, in each case, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution.  Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately prior to such Ex-Dividend Date or the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of Notes may not convert its Notes under the provisions of this Section 4.01(a)(iii) if such Holder will participate in such issuance or distribution, at the same time and upon the same terms as a holder of Common Stock, as if such Holder held, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in ef fect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date.

(iv)

If (A) a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change occurs, determined without regard to Section 3.01(b) and regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase the Notes pursuant to Article 3, or (B) any consolidation, merger or binding share exchange involving the Company, or any sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets occurs, in each case, pursuant to which shares of the Common Stock would be exchanged for or converted into cash, securities or other assets, then Holders may surrender Notes for conversion at any time from or after the date which is 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction until 35 Trading Days after the actual effective date of such transaction (or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date). & nbsp;The Company shall notify Holders and the Trustee as promptly as practicable following the date it publicly announces such transaction, but in no event less than 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction (or, if the Company is not a party to such transaction, promptly following the date the Company becomes aware of the consummation of such transaction).

Failure by the Company to give any notice required by Section 4.01, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the relevant transaction or event in this Section 4.01.

(b)

Notes may not be converted after the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding June 1, 2015.



12




Section 4.02.  Conversion Procedures.  (a)  Each Note shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent and, if applicable, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary.

(b)

In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any interest in a Global Security, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary’s book-entry exchange program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Conversion Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by Section 4.03(c) and any taxes or duties if required pursuant to Section 4.08, and the Conversion Agent must be informed of the conversion in accordance with the customary practice of the Depositary.  

(c)

In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Physical Notes, the Holder of any such Notes to be converted, in whole or in part, shall:

(i)

complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided on the back of the Note and attached hereto as Exhibit B entitled “Form of Notice of Conversion”(the “Conversion Notice”) or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice;

(ii)

deliver the Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Physical Notes to the Conversion Agent;

(iii)

if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents,

(iv)

if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes as set forth in Section 4.08; and

(v)

make any payment required under Section 4.03(c).

The date on which the Holder satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above is the “Conversion Date.” The Conversion Agent will, as promptly as possible, and in any event within two Business Days of the receipt thereof, provide the Company with notice of any conversion by a Holder of the Notes.

(d)

Subject to Section 2.02(b), each Conversion Notice shall state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which any certificate or certificates for Common Stock, if any shall be issuable on such conversion, shall be issued.  All such Notes surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares issuable on conversion, if any, are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Notes, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or his duly authorized attorney.

(e)

In case any Notes of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Notes so surrendered, without charge, new Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Notes.

Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) surrendered for conversion on the relevant Conversion Date; provided, however, that the Person in whose name the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock, if any, shall be issuable upon such conversion in respect of any Trading Day during an Observation Period shall become the Holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of such Observation Period.  

(f)

Upon the conversion of an interest in Global Securities, the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company) shall make a notation on such Global Securities as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(g)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice exercising such Holder’s option to require the Company to purchase such Note may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.06 hereof prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Fundamental Change Purchase Date.



13




Section 4.03.  Payments Upon Conversion.  (a)  Except as provided in Section 4.06(b), upon conversion of any Note, on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, the Company shall deliver to converting Holders, 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 25 Trading Days during the applicable Observation Period for such Note.

(b)

The “Daily Settlement Amount,” for each of the 25 Trading Days during the Observation Period, shall consist of:

(i)

cash equal to the lesser of $40 and the Daily Conversion Value; and

(ii)

to the extent the Daily Conversion Value exceeds $40, a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Daily Share Amount”) equal to (x) the difference between the Daily Conversion Value and $40, divided by (y) the Daily VWAP for such day.

(c)

Upon the conversion of any Notes, the Holder of such Notes will not be entitled to receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest or Additional Interest, if any, except to the extent specified below.  The Company’s delivery to such Holder of cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, if applicable, together with any cash payment for any fractional share of Common Stock, into which a Note is convertible will be deemed to satisfy in full the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the Notes so converted and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date.  As a result, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date for the payment of interest, Holders of such Notes at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will receive the interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion.  Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the Close of Business on any Regular Record Date to the Open of Business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment need be made (i) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding June 1, 2015, (ii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, or (iii) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conver sion with respect to such Note.

(d)

The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes.  If any fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Notes, the Company shall make payment therefor in cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock based on the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock on the final Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period.

(e)

Solely for purposes of determining the payments and deliveries due upon conversion under this Section 4.03, and notwithstanding the definition of “Trading Day” contained in Section 1.02, “Trading Day” means a day on which (i) there is no Market Disruption Event and (ii) trading in the Common Stock generally occurs on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, on the principal other U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, on the principal other market on which the Common Stock is then traded.  If the Common Stock (or other security for which a Daily VWAP must be determined) is not so listed or traded, “Trading Day” means a Business Day.

Section 4.04.  Adjustment of Conversion Rate.  The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company will not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate under Section 4.04(a) (but only with respect to stock dividends or distributions), Section 4.04(b), Section 4.04(c), or Section 4.04(d), if Holders of Notes participate in any of the transactions described below, at the same time as holders of Common Stock participate and as a result of holding the Notes, without having to convert their Notes, as if such Holders held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect for such Notes immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such event.



14




(a)

If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, issues Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1

=

CR0

×

OS1

OS0

where,

CR0

=

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

CR1

=

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date, as applicable;

OS0

=

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date, as applicable; and

OS1

=

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date, as applicable, after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date for such share split or share combination.  If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 4.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b)

If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, issues to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 45 calendar days to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1

=

CR0

×

OS0 + X

OS0 + Y

where,

CR0

=

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

CR1

=

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

OS0

=

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

X

=

the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and

Y

=

the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date of the issuance of such rights or warrants.



15



Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or termination, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.  In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed.  For the purposes of this Section 4.04(b), in determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a pric e per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate exercise price payable for such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on the exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, as shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

(c)

If the Company, at any time or from time to time while the Notes are outstanding, distributes shares of any class of its capital stock, evidences of its Indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights or warrants to acquire the Company’s capital stock or other securities to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, excluding:

(i)

dividends or distributions and rights or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(b);

(ii)

dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and

(iii)

Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 4.04(c) shall apply;

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

CR1

=

CR0

×

SP0

SP0 − FMV

where,

CR0

=

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR1

=

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP0

=

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV

=

the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of Indebtedness, assets, property, rights or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.  If the Company’s Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 4.04(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each Holder of Notes shall receive, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of securities and assets such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex - -Dividend Date for the distribution of the securities or assets.



16



With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company and such equity interests are listed for trading on a securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1

=

CR0

×

FMV0 + MP0

MP0

where,

CR0

=

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period (as defined below);

CR1

=

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;

FMV0

=

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined for purposes of the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as if such capital stock or similar equity interest were Common Stock) over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

MP0

=

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph will occur on the last day of the Valuation Period; provided that in respect of any Trading Day in an Observation Period that occurs during the Valuation Period, references above to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off and the applicable Trading Day during the Observation Period in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.

For the purposes of this Section 4.04(c) (and subject in all respects to Section 4.12), rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”):  (1) are deemed to be transferred with such Common Stock; (2) are not exercisable; and (3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.04(c), (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 4.04(c).  If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of Indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date of such deemed distribution (in which case the original rights or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders).  In addition, in the event of any distribution or deemed distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.04 (c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, upon such final redemption or repurchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming each such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.



17



For the purposes of this Section 4.04(c) and subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 4.04, any dividend or distribution to which this Section 4.04(c) applies which also includes one or both of:

(A)

a dividend or distribution of Common Stock to which Section 4.04(a) applies (the “Clause A Distribution”);

(B)

a dividend or distribution of rights or warrants to which Section 4.04(b) applies (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 4.04(c) applies (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 4.04(c) with respect thereto shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 4.04(a) and Section 4.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company, (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediatel y prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date” within the meaning of Section 4.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 4.04(b).

(d)

If the Company makes any cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1

=

CR0

×

SP0

SP0 − C

where,

CR0

=

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR1

=

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP0

=

the Last Reported Sale Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

C

=

the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock.

In the case of an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.04(d), such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the relevant dividend or distribution.  If the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, in lieu of the adjustment set forth above, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Notes shall have the right to receive upon conversion, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

(e)

If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:



18




CR1

=

CR0

×

AC + (SP1 × OS1)

OS0 × SP1

where,

CR0

=

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR1

=

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

AC

=

the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS0

=

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

OS1

=

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to, for the avoidance of doubt, the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP1

=

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.04(e) shall occur as of the Close of Business on the tenth Trading Day from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any Trading Day in an Observation Period that occurs during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references with respect to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer and the applicable Trading Day during the Observation Period in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.

(f)

The Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time of at least 20 Business Days, so long as the Company’s Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive.  Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to this Section 4.04(f), the Company shall mail to Holders of record of the Notes a notice of the increase at least one day prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(g)

The Company may (but shall not be required to) increase the Conversion Rate, in addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 4.04(a), 4.04(b), 4.04(c), 4.04(d), 4.04(e) or 4.04(f), if the Company’s Board of Directors considers such increase to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event.

(h)

All calculations under this Article 4 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent (including, in the case of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the resulting adjustment to the Conversion Price) or to the nearest one ten-thousandth of a share.  

(i)

No adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be required to be made for the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 4.04 and in Section 4.12.



19




(j)

Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.  Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect.  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 each Holder of the Notes.  Failure to deli ver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(k)

For purposes of this Section 4.04, Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Common Stock.

(l)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the application of the foregoing formulas set forth in this Section 4.04 would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made (other than as a result of a share combination or reverse stock split).

(m)

The Company shall not be required to make an adjustment in the Conversion Rate unless the adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate.  However, the Company will carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate and make such carried forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (i) on each anniversary of the issue date of the Initial Notes, (ii) on the Conversion Date for any Notes and (iii) on each Trading Day of any Observation Period.

Section 4.05.  Certain Other Adjustments.  Whenever a provision of this Supplemental Indenture requires the calculation of Last Reported Sale Prices or Daily VWAP over a span of multiple days, the Company will make appropriate adjustments (determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) to such Last Reported Sale Prices or Daily VWAP, the Conversion Rate, or the amount due upon conversion 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, at any time during the period from which such Last Reported Sale Prices or Daily VWAP are to be calculated.

Section 4.06.  Adjustments Upon Certain Fundamental Changes.  (a)  If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under certain circumstances, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as described below.  A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the notice of conversion of the Notes is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date (as defined below) of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date (or, in the case of an event that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the exception in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change).

(b)

Notwithstanding Section 4.03, if the consideration for the Common Stock in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (ii) of the definition of Fundamental Change is comprised entirely of cash, then, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the amounts deliverable by the Company shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price (as defined below) for the Make-Whole Fundamental Change and shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the applicable Conversion Rate (including any adjustment for Additional Shares), multiplied by such Stock Price. In such event, the amounts deliverable by the Company shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the third Business Day following the Conversion Date.

(c)

The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate will be increased will be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid (or deemed paid) per share of Common Stock in



20



the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.  If the holders of Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share.  Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(d)

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

(i)

If the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.

(ii)

If the Stock Price is greater than $60.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A pursuant Section 4.06 (e) below), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.

(iii)

If the Stock Price is less than $13.00 per share (subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A pursuant to Section 4.06 (e) below), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate exceed 76.9231 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 4.04.

(e)

The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted as set forth in Section 4.04.  The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.  The number of Additional Shares set forth in such table shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 4.04.

(f)

The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date no later than five business days after such Effective Date.

Section 4.07. Recapitalization, Reclassification and Changes to the Common Stock.  

(a)

If any of the following events occur:

(i)

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

(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 the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, or would be reclassified or changed into, 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 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) in accordance with Section 6.01, 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 the Indenture into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other



21



property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”, and the type and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have owned or been entitled to receive, a “Unit of Reference Property”) 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 4.03 such that (i) the amount otherwise payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes as set forth under Section 4.03 will continue to be payable in cash, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion of the Notes under Section 4.03 shall be instead deli verable in Units of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have been entitled to receive in such Merger Event and (iii) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of one Unit of Reference Property.  

(b)

If, as a result of the Merger Event, each share of Common Stock is exchanged 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 Stock 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 share of Common Stock.

(c)

The supplemental indenture required pursuant to Section 4.07(a) shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4 in the judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors.

(d)

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 4.07 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances.  If this Section 4.07 applies to any Merger Event, Section 4.04 shall not apply.

Section 4.08. Taxes on Shares Issued.  The Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock, if any, upon conversions of Notes pursuant hereto; provided, however, that if such documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax is due because the Holder of such Notes has requested that Common Stock be issued in a name other than that of the Holder of the Notes converted, then such taxes will be paid by the Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate evidencing such shares unless and until the Holder shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 4.09. Reservation of Shares; Shares to be Fully Paid; Compliance With Governmental Requirements; Listing of Common Stock.  (a)  The Company shall reserve, and at all times keep reserved, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock if required to satisfy conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that, at the time of the computation of such number of shares or securities, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder).

(b)

The Company covenants that all Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of Notes shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free from any tax, lien or charge (other than those created by the Holder).

(c)

The Company shall list or cause to have quoted any Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of Notes on each national securities exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

Section 4.10. Responsibility of Trustee.  The Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine or calculate the Conversion Rate, to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or to confirm the accuracy of any such adjustment when made or the



22



appropriateness of the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same.  The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock or of any other securities or property that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Notes; and the Trustee and the Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto.  Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Notes for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 4.  The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and b enefits given to the Trustee, including without limitation its right to be compensated, reimbursed, and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including its capacity as Conversion Agent.

Section 4.11. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.  If the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof, then, unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall make a public announcement of such event as promptly as practicable but in any event at least 10 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, stating the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to rights or warrants are to be determined.  Failure to make such announcement, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such grant.

Section 4.12. Stockholder Rights Plan.  To the extent that the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes into shares of Common Stock, each share of Common Stock issued, if any, upon conversion of Notes pursuant to this Article 4 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights under the stockholder rights plan, if any, and the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company, as the same may be amended from time to time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to any conversion such rights have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement, then, and only then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Co mpany had distributed to all holders of Common Stock, shares of the Company’s capital stock, evidences of Indebtedness, assets, property, rights or warrants as described in Section 4.04(c) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

ARTICLE 5

REMEDIES

Section 5.01. Events of Default.  The events of default provisions set forth in this Section 5.01 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in their entirety Section 501 of the Base Indenture, and all references in the Base Indenture in Section 501 thereof and events of default provisions therein, as the case may be, shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to be references to this Section 5.01 and the events of default provisions set forth in this Section 5.01, respectively.  Each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” wherever used herein with respect to the Notes:

(a)

a default in the payment of interest, including any Additional Interest, on the Notes when due, continued for 30 days (whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture);

(b)

a default in the payment of principal of any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise (whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture);

23




(e)

the failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with its obligations under Article 6 of this Supplemental Indenture;

(f)

(i)

the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(1) commences proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

(2) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under applicable Bankruptcy law;

However, a default under Section 501(f), (g) or (j) of this Supplemental Indenture will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time specified after receipt of such notice.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after knowledge of the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default under clause (h) or (j) and any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under Section 501(f), (g) or (k) of this Supplemental Indenture, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity.  Section 502 of the Base Indenture shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Section 502  Acceleration of Maturity.

(a)

If an Event of Default (other than specified in Section 5.01(i) of this Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest, including any Additional Interest, on all the Notes to be due and



24



payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately; provided, however, that for so long as any Designated Senior Indebtedness remains in effect, such declaration shall not become effective until the earlier of (1) five Business Days following delivery of notice to the Representative of such creditors of the intention to accelerate the Notes or (2) the acceleration of any Indebtedness under such Designated Senior Indebtedness.

(b)

If an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(i) of this Supplemental Indenture relating to the Company occurs and is continuing, the principal of and interest on the Notes will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in paragraph (a) above, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes under the Indenture may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

(1)

if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(2)

if all existing Events of Default with respect to the Notes have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(3)

to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and

(4)

if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances.

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

Section 5.03. Limitation on Suits.  Section 507 of the Base Indenture shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Section 507  Limitation on Suits.

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(b)

Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c)

such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

(d)

the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(e)

the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Section 5.04. Additional Interest.  Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture to the contrary, if the Company so elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to any obligation of the Company to file documents and reports with the Trustee as required by Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act or Section 2.03 of this Supplemental Indenture, shall consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during which such Event of Default is continuing up to, and including, the date which is 180 days after the date on which such Event of Default first occurs (“Additional Interest”).  In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default described in the preceding sentence, the Company must g ive notice to Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 180-day period.  Upon the failure to timely give all Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent such notice or to

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected thereby, no amendment may:

(1)

reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver;

(2)

reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

In addition, no amendment may be made to the subordination provisions of the Indenture that adversely affects the rights of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or their Representative) consent to such change.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 902 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

ARTICLE 9

INAPPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE BASE INDENTURE

Section 9.01. Redemption of Securities.  The provisions of Article 11 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

Section 9.02. Sinking Funds.  The provisions of Article 12 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

ARTICLE 10

CERTAIN COVENANTS

Section 10.01.Future Subsidiary Guarantors.  (a) Not later than 30 days after any of the Company’s Subsidiaries guarantees any Designated Senior Subordinated Indebtedness, the Company will cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver an indenture supplemental to the Indenture and thereby give a Subsidiary Guarantee and become a Subsidiary Guarantor which shall be bound by the Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes in the form set forth in this Supplemental Indenture in Exhibit E entitled “Form of Subsidiary Guarantee”. Any such Guarantee of the Notes shall be pari passu (or senior) to the Guarantee of such other Designated Senior Subordinated Indebtedness.

(b)

The Holders of the Notes will be deemed to have consented to the release of the Guarantee of the Notes provided by a Subsidiary Guarantor, without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes, upon such Subsidiary Guarantor ceasing to guarantee all Designated Senior Subordinated Indebtedness. Accordingly, if the Holders of all such Indebtedness agree to release a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee of such Indebtedness, the obligations of such Subsidiary to Guarantee the Notes will immediately terminate, and if such Indebtedness is repaid in full, the obligations of the Subsidiaries to Guarantee the Notes will immediately terminate, unless such Subsidiaries subsequently Guarantee any other Designated Senior Subordinated Indebtedness. If any of the Subsidiaries Guarantee any Designated Senior Subordinated Indebtedness, then such Subsidiaries will be required to Guarantee the Notes.

In addition, a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released and relieved from all its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee in the following circumstances:

(i)

upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of a majority of the total voting power of the capital stock or other equity interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor (other than to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company); or

(ii)

upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (other than to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company).

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will execute and deliver any documents, instructions or instruments evidencing the consent of the Holders of Notes to any such release.

Each Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Subsidiary Guarantor without rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Section 10.02. Limitation on Other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness.  The Company will not create, incur, assume, guarantee or in any other manner become liable with respect to any Indebtedness that is expressly by its terms subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company and senior in any respect in right of payment to the Notes.

It is acknowledged that unsecured Indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured, and Senior Indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other Senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.



29

4.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2015

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its 4.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of July 20, 2007, as supplemented (herein called the “Base Indenture”) and as further supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 3, 2009 (herein called the “Supplemental Indenture” and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Company and HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Base Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Indenture.

The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms.

This Note is not subject to redemption at the option of the Company and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Note is not subject to the provisions of Articles Eleven or Twelve of the Base Indenture.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, (x) upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding December 1, 2014 and (y) on or after December 1, 2014 until the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding June 1, 2015, to convert this Note or a portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock if applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, at the applicable Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.

FORM OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE

WHEREAS, Section 10.01 of the Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 3, 2009 between the Company and the Trustee (the “Original Supplemental Indenture”) provides, among other things, that the each Subsidiary of the Company shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental to the Indenture and thereby give a Subsidiary Guarantee and become a Subsidiary Guarantor which shall be bound by the Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes upon the occurrence of the conditions set forth in Section 10.01;

WHEREAS, this Supplemental Indenture shall be subject to and governed by the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act;

WHEREAS, the execution of this Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of each Subsidiary Guarantor and all things necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture, when executed and delivered by each Subsidiary Guarantor, a valid, binding and legal instrument according to its terms have been done and performed;

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Notes, as follows:

The following Article 16 is hereby added to the Indenture solely with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantees pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Original Supplemental Indenture with respect to the obligations set forth below.

All terms not defined herein shall be as defined in the Original Supplemental Indenture.

ARTICLE 16

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS

SECTION 1601. Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under the Original Supplemental Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under the Original Supplemental Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations”).  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor and that such Subsidiary Guaranto r will remain bound under this Article 16 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligation.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any Default under the Notes or the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations.  The Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) under the Original Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; or (3) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other Subsidiary Guarantor of the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guaranty herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection).






Except as expressly set forth in Section 10.01 of the Original Supplemental Indenture and Section 1614 of this Supplemental Indenture, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy unde r this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any Default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations, and (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).

Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 5 of the Original Supplemental Indenture for the purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guaranty herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 5 of the Original Supplemental Indenture, such Subsidiary Gua ranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section.

SECTION 1602.  Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of Subsidiary Guarantors.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants and agrees, and each Holder of the Notes, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that any payment by each Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations shall be made subject to the provisions of this Article 16, and each Person holding any Note, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees that the payment of all such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations shall, to the extent and in the manner herein set forth, be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations in respect of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness, including principal, premium (if any) or interest (including post-petition interest) thereon, that the subordination is for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable directly by, the holders of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness, and that each holder of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed shall be deemed to have acquired such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness in reliance upon the covenants and provisions contained in this Indenture and the Notes. Only Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor that is Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor will rank senior to the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. A Subsidiary



2



Guarantee will in all respects rank pari passu with all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor to which it relates and pari passu (or senior) to any guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of Designated Senior Subordinated Indebtedness. Unsecured Indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured.

SECTION 1603.  No Payment on Notes in Certain Circumstances.  (a)  No Subsidiary Guarantor may, and no other Person on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor may, make any payment or deposit with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantee (collectively, “pay the Subsidiary Guarantee”) if (i) any amount of principal, interest or other payments due under any Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company has not been paid when due beyond any applicable grace period whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise or (ii) any other default on Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company occurs and the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, the default has been cured or waived in writing and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Designated Senior Indeb tedness has been paid in full, after which such Subsidiary Guarantor shall resume making any and all required payments in respect of the Subsidiary Guaranty, including any missed payments. However, a  Subsidiary Guarantor may pay the Subsidiary Guarantee without regard to the foregoing if such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of the Designated Senior Indebtedness guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to which either of the events set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence has occurred and is continuing, after which such Subsidiary Guarantor shall resume making any and all required payments in respect of the Subsidiary Guaranty, including any missed payments. During the continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (i) or (ii) of the second preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated either immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or upon the expiration of any applicable grace periods, such Subsidiary Guarantor may not pay the Subsidiary Guarantee for a period (a “Guarantee Payment Blockage Period”) commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to such Subsidiary Guarantor) of written notice (a “Guarantee Blockage Notice”) of such default from the Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company specifying an election to effect a Guarantee Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier if such Guarantee Payment Blockage Period is terminated (A) by written notice to the Trustee and such Subsidiary Guarantor from the Person or Persons who gave such Guarantee Blockage Notice (B) because the default giving rise to such Guarantee Blockage Notice is no longer continu ing (solely as evidenced by written notice to the Trustee by the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness which notice shall be promptly delivered), or (C) because such Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor and the related Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company has been repaid in full). Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this paragraph), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company or the Representative of such holders has accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company, such Subsidiary Guarantor may resume payments on the Subsidiary Guarantee after the end of such Guarantee Payment Blockage Period including any missed payments. The Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be subject to more than one Guarantee Payment Blockage Period in any consecutive 3 60-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor during such period. No default which exists or was continuing on the date of commencement of any Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company under this Section 1603 shall be, or shall be made, the basis for the commencement of a second Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days unless such default shall have been cured or waived in writing for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days. (It being acknowledged that any subsequent action, or any breach of any covenants for a period commencing after the date of commencement of such Blockage Period that, in either case, would give rise to a default pursuant to any provisions under which a default previously existed or was continuing shall con stitute a new default for this purpose).

(b)  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder when such payment is prohibited by Section 1603(a), such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, as their respective interests may appear. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on information regarding amounts then due and owing on such Subsidiary



3



Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness, if any, received from the holders of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness (or their Representatives) or, if such information is not received from such holders or their Representatives, from such Subsidiary Guarantor and only amounts included in the information provided to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness.

The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 1604 would be applicable.

Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall limit the right of the Trustee or the Holders of Notes to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 502 of the Original Supplemental Indenture or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder; provided that all Senior Indebtedness of the Company thereafter due or declared to be due shall first be paid in full in cash or before the Holders are entitled to receive any payment of any kind or character with respect to Obligations on the Notes.

SECTION 1604.  Payment Over of Proceeds upon Dissolution, Etc.  (a)  Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any total or partial liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding relating to such Subsidiary Guarantor or its property, whether voluntary or involuntary, all Obligations due or to become due upon all of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution of any kind or character is made on account of any Obliga tions with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor, or for the acquisition of such Subsidiary Guarantee for cash or property or otherwise. Upon any such total or partial liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, any payment or distribution of assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee under this Indenture would be entitled, except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them, directly to the holders of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness.

(b)  To the extent any payment of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness (whether by or on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, then, if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.

(c)  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any Holder or the Trustee when such payment or distribution is prohibited by this Section 1604, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash, after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness.

(d)  The consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with, or the merger of any Subsidiary Guarantor with or into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of any Subsidiary Guarantor following the conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided in Article Eight hereof and as long as permitted under the terms of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, assume such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder in accordance with Article Eight hereof.

SECTION 1605.  Payments May Be Paid Prior to Dissolution.  Nothing contained in this Article 16 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall prevent (i) any Subsidiary Guarantor, except under the conditions described in Sections 1603 and 1604, from making payments at any time for the purpose of making payments in respect of this Subsidiary Guarantee, or from depositing with the Trustee any moneys for such payments, or (ii) in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee that a given payment would be prohibited by Section 1603 or 1604, the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it for the purpose of making such payments to the Holders entitled thereto unless at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which such payment would otherwise become due and payable a Trust Officer shall have actually received the written notice provided for in the third sentence of Section 1603(a) or in Section 1608 (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such application shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of the first sentence of Section 1603(a), 1603(b) and Section 1604). Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of such Subsidiary Guarantor.
