sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice
in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers

precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Securities) payment of principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on at the Stated Maturity. If
any Interest Payment Date, the Stated Maturity or any earlier Fundamental Change Repurchase Date of
a Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment will be made on the next
succeeding Business Day and no Interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay.

Indenture or the Securities solely by reason of his or its status as such stockholder, employee,
officer or director.

failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by,
directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work
stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use

U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with
Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to
help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record
information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an
account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee
with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the

calculations and determinations will be final and binding on Holders. The Company upon request will
provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely

CORPORATION
3.25% Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due 2039
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, designated as
its 3.25% Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due 2039 (the Securities), all issued or to
be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of July 27, 2009 (the Indenture), between
the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the Trustee), to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company
and the Holders of the Securities.
Interest. The Securities will bear Regular Interest at a rate of 3.25% per year,
payable semi-annually in arrears on August 1 and February 1 of each year beginning on February 1,
2010. In addition to Regular Interest, the Securities will also bear Contingent Interest (i)
commencing on August 1, 2019, during any semi-annual interest period in which the average trading
price of the Securities for the 10 Trading Day period immediately preceding the first day of such
semi-annual period is greater than or equal to $1,500 per $1,000 Principal Amount of the
Securities, at a rate of 0.50% of such trading price per annum, (ii) commencing on August 1, 2019,
during any semi-annual interest period in which the average trading price of the Securities for the
10 Trading Day period immediately preceding the first day of such semi-annual period is less than
or equal to a threshold that will initially be set at $650 per $1,000 Principal Amount of the
Securities and that will increase over time in accordance with the Indenture, at a rate of 0.25% of
such trading price per annum and (iii) at any time that Securities are outstanding in the event
that the Company pays an extraordinary cash dividend or distribution to holders of the Companys
Common Stock that the Companys Board of Directors designates as payable to Holders of the
Securities. Pursuant to Section 10.03 of the Indenture, in certain circumstances, the Holders
shall be entitled to receive Additional Interest.
Subordination. The Securities are unsecured junior obligations of the Company
subordinated in right of payment to the Companys existing and future Senior Debt and effectively
subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Companys
subsidiaries.
Redemption at the Option of the Company. No sinking fund is provided for the
Securities. The Securities are redeemable as a whole, or from time to time in part, (i) at any
time commencing on August 5, 2019 at the option of the
27
Company if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Companys Common Stock has been greater than or
equal to 150% of Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days during any 30
consecutive Trading Day period prior to the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption
and (ii) on or prior to July 27, 2010, if certain U.S. federal tax legislation, regulations or
rules are enacted or are issued. The redemption price (the Redemption Price) for any such
redemption is equal to (a) in the case of a redemption described in clause (i) above, 100%,
expressed as a percentage of the Principal Amount of Securities to be redeemed, together with
accrued and unpaid Interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date and (b) in the case of a
redemption described in clause (ii) above, 101.5%, expressed as a percentage of the Principal
Amount of Securities to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid Interest to, but excluding,
the Redemption Date and, if the Conversion Value of the Securities being redeemed exceeds their
Initial Conversion Value, 76% of the amount determined by subtracting the Initial Conversion Value
of the Securities being redeemed from their Conversion Value.
Repurchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder Upon a Fundamental Change.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated, at the
option of the Holder, to repurchase the Securities if a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior
to the Stated Maturity at 100% of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid Interest to, but
excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price),
which Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will be paid in cash; provided that the Company may
elect, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the Indenture, to pay all or
a portion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in Common Stock, Acquiror Securities or a
combination thereof. The number of shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities that a Holder
will receive will equal the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the portion of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price to be paid in shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities, as applicable, by
(ii) 95% of the average Closing Price of the shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities, as
applicable, for the five Trading Day period immediately preceding and including the third Trading
Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, subject to adjustment as
described in the Indenture.
Withdrawal of Repurchase Notice and Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. Holders
have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, any Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of
withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
Payment of Redemption Price, Repurchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
If cash or, if permitted under the Indenture, Common Stock, Acquiror Securities or any
combination of the foregoing, sufficient to pay the
28
Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the case may be, of all Securities
or portions thereof to be redeemed or repurchased on a Redemption Date or on a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date, as the case may be, is deposited with the Paying Agent on the Redemption Date or
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, such Securities will cease to be
outstanding and Interest will cease to accrue on such Securities (or portions thereof) immediately
after such Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, and the
Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such (other than the right to receive the Redemption
Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the case may be, upon surrender of such Security).
Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture
(including without limitation the conditions of conversion of this Security set forth in Article 9
thereof), the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, to convert the Principal Amount hereof or
any portion of such principal which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into, subject to
Section 9.01 of the Indenture, cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, at the Conversion Rate.
The initial Conversion Rate is 44.0917 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Principal Amount of
Securities, subject to adjustment in certain events described in the Indenture. Upon conversion,
the Company shall deliver, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted, cash and
shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to the Settlement Amount in accordance with the Indenture.
No fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment and payment in cash will
be made, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise
be issuable upon the surrender of any Securities for conversion. Securities in respect of which a
Holder is exercising its right to require repurchase on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date may be
converted only if such Holder withdraws its election to exercise such right in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture.
In the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Security, including an
exchange, transfer, repurchase or conversion of this Security in part only, the Trustee, as
custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or
withdrawal in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary.
Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, at any time when the Company is not subject
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, upon the
request of a Holder of a Restricted Security, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be
furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder of Restricted Securities, or to a
prospective purchaser of any such security designated by any such Holder, to the extent required to
permit compliance by any such Holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the Securities Act). Rule 144A
29
Information shall be such information as is specified pursuant
to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto).
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Principal Amount plus Interest
through such date on all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the
Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate
Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to
waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of any
provision of or applicable to this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and
upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent
or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security
shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall
have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding
Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of
such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it, the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of Outstanding
Securities a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to
institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for
the enforcement of any payment of the Principal Amount, Redemption Price or Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price hereof on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the Principal Amount, Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of, and Interest on,
this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its President or one
of its Vice Presidents.
Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together
with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. The Company Order
shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated, and shall further specify the amount of
such Securities to be issued as a Global Security or as Physical Securities. The Trustee in
accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this
Indenture provided and not otherwise.
Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate
upon any Security shall be
38
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.
Section 3.04. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the
Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any
authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which
they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities; provided, that any such temporary Securities shall bear legends on the face of such
Securities as set forth in Section 2.02.
If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be
prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary
Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary
Securities at any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 6.02, without
charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like
Principal Amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
Physical Securities.
Section 3.05. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a
register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated
pursuant to Section 6.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the Security
Register) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall
provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby
appointed Security Registrar (the Security Registrar) for the purpose of registering Securities
and transfers of Securities as herein provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an office or agency of the
Company designated pursuant to Section 6.02 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount
and tenor, each such Security bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture
(including Sections 2.02, 2.05 and 3.09).
39
At the option of the Holder and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.05 and to
Section 3.09, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations and
of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at
such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the
valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if
so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly
executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. As a condition to the
registration of transfer of any Restricted Securities, the Company or the Trustee may require
evidence satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend on
such securities.
Except as provided in the following sentence and in Section 3.09, all Securities originally
issued hereunder and all Securities issued upon registration of transfer or exchange or replacement
thereof shall be Restricted Securities and shall bear the legends required by Sections 2.02 and
2.05, unless the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (and the Security Registrar, if other
than the Trustee) a Company Order stating that the Security is not a Restricted Security and may be
issued without such legend thereon. Securities that are issued upon registration of transfer of,
or in exchange for, Securities that are not Restricted Securities shall not be Restricted
Securities and shall not bear such legend.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities,
but the Company and the Security Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04 not involving any transfer.
Neither the Company nor the Security Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a
transfer of any Security (i) during the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before
the mailing of a notice of redemption to all Holders of Securities to be redeemed and ending at the
close of business on the date on which a notice of redemption is mailed to all Holders of
Securities to be redeemed, (ii) after any notice of redemption has been given to Holders, except
40
that where such notice provides that such Security is to be redeemed only in part, the Company
and the Security Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of the portion
thereof not to be redeemed, (iii) that has been surrendered for conversion or (iv) as to which a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn, except that where such
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice provides that such Security is to be purchased only in part,
the Company and the Security Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of the
portion thereof not to be purchased.
(b) Beneficial ownership of every Restricted Security shall be subject to the restrictions on
transfer provided in the legends required to be set forth on the face of each Restricted Security
pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 2.05, unless such restrictions on transfer shall be terminated in
accordance with this Section 3.05(b) or Section 3.09. The Holder of each Restricted Security, by
such Holders acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by such restrictions on transfer.
The restrictions imposed by this Section 3.05 and by Sections 2.02, 2.05 and 3.09 upon the
transferability of any particular Restricted Security shall cease and terminate upon delivery by
the Company to the Trustee of an Officers Certificate stating that such Restricted Security has
been transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision
thereto). Any Restricted Security as to which the Company has delivered to the Trustee an
Officers Certificate stating that such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance
with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon surrender of such Restricted Security for
exchange to the Security Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.05, be
exchanged for a new Security, of like tenor and aggregate Principal Amount, which shall not bear
the restrictive legends required by Sections 2.02 and 2.05.
As used in the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 3.05, the term transfer encompasses
any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of any Restricted Security.
(c) Neither the Trustee, the Security Registrar nor any of their respective agents shall (i)
have any duty to monitor compliance with or with respect to any federal or state or other
securities or tax laws or (ii) have any duty to obtain documentation relating to any transfers or
exchanges other than as specifically required hereunder.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the period of one year after the Issue Date, the
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act) to, resell any of the Securities that constitute restricted securities under Rule
144 under the Securities Act that have been reacquired by any of them.
41
Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security
is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and Principal Amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any
such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and Principal Amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable or has been called for redemption in full, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.06, the Company may require payment
by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee)
connected therewith.
Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or
stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone,
and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any
and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 3.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful)
all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities.
Section 3.07. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar and any agent of the
Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar may treat the Person in whose name such Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of
such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar nor any
42
agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
Section 3.08. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities. (a) The Global Securities
initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary,
(ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set
forth on the face of the form of Security in Section 2.02.
Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (Agent Members) shall have no rights under
this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the
Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depositary 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) Transfers of the Global Securities shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in
part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial
owners in a Global Security may be transferred or exchanged, in whole or in part, for Physical
Securities in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of
Section 3.09. In addition, Physical Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in
exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Securities if (A) such Depositary has
notified the Company that the Depositary (i) is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act
when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and, in either such
case, no successor Depositary shall have been appointed within 90 days of such notification, (B)
there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global
Security and the Outstanding Securities shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 10.02
and the Trustee requests that Physical Securities be issued or (C) the Company, at its option,
notifies the Trustee that it elects to cause the issuance of Physical Securities, subject to
applicable procedures of the Depositary; provided that Holders of Physical Securities offered and
sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to request that such
Securities be exchanged for interests in the applicable Global Security.
(c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in the
Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to
43
paragraph (b) above, the Security Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Securities are to
be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the Principal Amount of the
Global Security in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of the beneficial interest in the Global
Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount.
(d) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Security to beneficial owners
pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial
interest in the Global Security, an equal aggregate Principal Amount of Physical Securities of
authorized denominations and the same tenor.
(e) Any Physical Security constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an
interest in the Global Security pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) above shall, except as otherwise
provided by paragraph (c) of Section 3.09, bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions
applicable to the Physical Securities set forth on the face of the form of Security in Section
2.02.
(f) The Holder of the Global Securities may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person,
including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any
action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.
Section 3.09. Cancellation and Transfer Provisions. The Company at any time may deliver to
the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that
the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and
sold. The Trustee shall cancel and dispose of all Securities surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, purchase, repurchase, redemption, conversion (pursuant to Article 9
hereof) or cancellation in accordance with its customary practices. If the Company shall acquire
any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the
indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid in
full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
(a) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration
of any proposed transfer of a Security constituting a Restricted Security to a QIB:
44
(i) the Security Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made
by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on the form of Security
stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the Security Registrar in writing, that
the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who
has signed the certification provided for on the form of Security stating, or has
otherwise advised the Company and the Security Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing
the Security for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole
investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule
144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and
acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Company as it has
requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that
it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to
claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and
(ii) if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Securities to be
transferred consist of Physical Securities which after transfer are to be evidenced by an
interest in the Global Security, upon receipt by the Security Registrar of instructions
given in accordance with the Depositarys and the Security Registrars procedures, the
Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the
Principal Amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of the
Physical Securities to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical
Securities so transferred.
(b) Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of
Securities not bearing the legends required by Sections 2.02 and 2.05, the Security Registrar shall
deliver Securities that do not bear such legends. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or
replacement of Securities bearing the legends required by Sections 2.02 and 2.05, the Security
Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear such legends unless there is delivered to the
Security Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to
the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order
to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.
(c) General. By its acceptance of any Security bearing the legends required by Sections 2.02
and 2.05, each Holder of such a Security acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security
set forth in this Indenture and in such legends and agrees that it will transfer such Security only
as provided in this Indenture.
45
The Security Registrar shall retain, in accordance with its customary procedures, copies of
all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 3.09. The
Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other
written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the
Security Registrar.
Section 3.10. CUSIP Numbers. In issuing the Securities, the Company may use CUSIP numbers
(if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or
as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by
any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing
of any change in the CUSIP numbers.
ARTICLE 4
Interest
Section 4.01. Generally.
(a) Regular interest (Regular Interest) shall accrue on the Securities from July 27, 2009 at
a rate of 3.25% per annum until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment.
Regular Interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on August 1 and February 1 of each year,
commencing February 1, 2010.
(b) Interest on the Securities shall be computed (i) for any full semi-annual period for which
a particular interest rate (inclusive of any Contingent Interest or Additional Interest payable
with respect to the Securities) is applicable, on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months and (ii) for any period for which a particular interest rate (inclusive of any Contingent
Interest or Additional Interest payable with respect to the Securities) is applicable shorter than
a full semi-annual period for which interest is calculated, on the basis of a 30-day month and, for
such periods of less than a month, the actual number of days elapsed over a 30-day month.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.01(c), a Holder of any Securities at the
close of business on a Record Date shall be entitled to receive Interest on such Securities on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date.
(i) A Holder of any Securities as of a Record Date that are converted after the close
of business on such Record Date and prior to the
46
opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to
receive Interest on the principal amount of such Securities, notwithstanding the
conversion of such Securities prior to such Interest Payment Date. However, a Holder that
surrenders any Securities for conversion between the close of business on a Record Date
and the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be required
to pay the Company an amount equal to the Interest payable by the Company with respect to
such Securities on such Interest Payment Date at the time such Holder surrenders such
Securities for conversion, provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to a
Holder that converts Securities:
(A) in respect of which the Company has given notice of redemption pursuant
to Section 7.03 on a Redemption Date that is after the relevant Record Date and
on or prior to the third Scheduled Trading Day after the relevant Interest
Payment Date;
(B) in respect of which the Company has specified a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date that is after the relevant Record Date and on or prior to the
relevant Interest Payment Date; or
(C) following the Record Date for the payment of Regular Interest on August
1, 2039.
Accordingly, a Holder that converts Securities under any of the circumstances described in
clauses (A), (B) or (C) above will not be required to pay to the Company an amount equal
to the Interest payable by the Company with respect to such Securities on the relevant
Interest Payment Date.
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.01(c), any Interest
payable on a Redemption Date that falls between the close of business on a Record Date and
the close of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the
Holder of the Securities being redeemed as provided in Section 7.01(b) and shall not be
payable to the Holder on the Record Date immediately preceding such redemption. The
payment of such Interest to the Holder of the Securities being redeemed as provided in
Section 7.01(b) shall be deemed to satisfy the Companys obligations in respect of such
Interest.
(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.01(c), any Interest
payable on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that falls between the close of business
on a Record Date and the close of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date
shall be payable to
47
the Holder of the Securities being repurchased as provided in Section 8.01(a) and
shall not be payable to the Holder on the Record Date immediately preceding such
redemption. The payment of such Interest to the Holder of the Securities being
repurchased as provided in Section 8.01(a) shall be deemed to satisfy the Companys
obligations in respect of such Interest.
Section 4.02. Contingent Interest. (a) Contingent interest on the Securities (Contingent
Interest) shall accrue and the Company shall pay such Contingent Interest to the Holders as
follows:
(i) beginning with the six-month interest payment period commencing August 1, 2019:
(A) during any six-month interest payment period with respect to which the
average Trading Price for the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the first
day of such six-month interest payment period is greater than or equal to the
Upside Trigger, in which case the Contingent Interest payable on each $1,000
Principal Amount for such six-month interest payment period shall be equal to
0.50% per annum of the average Trading Price for the 10 Trading Days immediately
preceding the first day of such six-month interest payment period;
(B) during any six-month interest payment period with respect to which the
average Trading Price for the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the first
day of such six-month interest payment period is less than or equal to the
Downside Trigger, in which case the Contingent Interest payable on each $1,000
Principal Amount for such six-month interest payment period shall be equal to
0.25% per annum of the average Trading Price for the 10 Trading Days immediately
preceding the first day of such six-month interest payment period; and
(ii) at any time Securities are outstanding, upon the declaration by the Companys
Board of Directors of an extraordinary cash dividend or distribution to all or
substantially all holders of the Companys Common Stock that the Companys Board of
Directors designates as payable with respect to the Securities (an Extraordinary
Dividend), in which case (A) Contingent Interest will be payable on the same date as, and
in an amount equal to, the dividend or distribution that a Holder would have received had
such Holder converted its Securities immediately prior to the record date for the payment
of the corresponding dividend or distribution to holders of the Companys Common Stock and
(B) the record date for such Interest shall be the same as the record date for the payment
of the
48
corresponding extraordinary dividend or distribution to holders of the Companys
Common Stock.
(b) The Company shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Securities or
to request the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Securities unless a Holder of
Securities provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price of the Securities
is greater than or equal to the Upside Trigger or is less than or equal to the Downside Trigger, at
which time the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Securities
beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price of the
Securities is less than the Upside Trigger or is greater than the Downside Trigger, as applicable.
Section 4.03. Trustees Responsibilities in Respect of Contingent Interest. The Trustees
sole responsibility pursuant to Section 4.02 shall be to obtain the Trading Price of the Securities
for each of the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the first day of the applicable six-month
interest payment period and to provide such information to the Company. The Company shall
determine whether Holders are entitled to receive Contingent Interest, and if so, provide written
notice to the Trustee and issue a press release as required by Section 4.05. Notwithstanding any
term contained in this Indenture or any other document to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no
responsibilities, duties or obligations for or with respect to (i) determining whether the Company
must pay Contingent Interest or (ii) determining the amount of Contingent Interest, if any, payable
by the Company.
Section 4.04. Payment of Contingent Interest. Subject to Section 4.01 hereof, Contingent
Interest for any six-month interest payment period shall be paid on the applicable Interest Payment
Date to the Holder in whose name any Security is registered on the Security Register at the
corresponding Record Date. Contingent Interest due under this Article 4 shall be treated for all
purposes of this Indenture like any other interest accruing on the Securities.
Section 4.05. Contingent Interest Notification. By the third Business Day of a six-month
interest payment period for which Contingent Interest specified in Section 4.02(a)(i) will be paid,
the Company will disseminate a press release through Reuters Economic Services and Bloomberg
Business News stating that Contingent Interest will be paid on the Securities and identifying such
six-month interest payment period as the six-month interest payment period for which such
Contingent Interest will be paid. By the third Business Day following the designation by the
Companys Board of Directors of an extraordinary cash dividend or distribution as an Extraordinary
Dividend pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(ii), the Company will disseminate a press release through
Reuters Economic Services and Bloomberg Business News stating that Contingent Interest will be paid
on the Securities and identifying the Record Date for the
49
payment of such Contingent Interest and the amount of such extraordinary cash dividend or
distribution payable with respect to each share of the Companys Common Stock.
ARTICLE 5
Subordination
Section 5.01. Agreement of Subordination. The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder
of Securities issued hereunder by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all
Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 5; and each Person holding any
Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and
agrees to be bound by such provisions.
The payment of the principal of and Interest on all Securities (including, but not limited to,
the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to the Securities
subject to redemption or repurchase in accordance with Articles 7 and 8, respectively, and the
payment of any cash upon conversion in accordance with Article 9) issued hereunder shall, to the
extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to
the prior payment in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt of
all Senior Debt, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.
No provision of this Article 5 shall prevent the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder.
Section 5.02. Payments to Holders. No payment shall be made with respect to the principal
of or any premium or Interest on the Securities (including, but not limited to, the Redemption
Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to
redemption or purchase in accordance with Articles 7 and 8, respectively, and any payment of cash
upon conversion in accordance with Article 9), except payments and distributions made by the
Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section 5.05, if:
(a) a default in the payment of principal, premium, interest or other amounts due on
any Senior Debt, or in respect of any redemption or repurchase obligation under any Senior
Debt, occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Senior Debt for which there is a period
of grace, in the event of such a default that continues beyond the period of grace, if
any, specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Senior Debt) (a Payment
Default); or
50
(b) a default, other than a Payment Default, on any Designated Senior Debt occurs and
is continuing that then permits holders of such Designated Senior Debt (or any
Representative) to accelerate its maturity (a Non-Payment Default) and a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office a written notice of the
default (a Payment Blockage Notice) from the Company or a Representative of Designated
Senior Debt.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the delivery of a Payment Blockage Notice, no new
Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered and no new period of payment blockage with respect to the
Securities may begin until both (i) 365 consecutive days have elapsed since the effectiveness of
the first Payment Blockage Notice and (ii) all scheduled payments of principal, any premium and
Interest with respect to the Securities that are due have been paid in full in cash. No default
that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice with respect
to the Designated Senior Debt whose holders delivered the Payment Blockage Notice may be made the
basis of a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice by the holders of such Designated Senior Debt,
whether or not within a period of 365 consecutive days.
The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities
upon:
(1) in the case of a Payment Default, the date upon which the default is cured or
waived or ceases to exist, or
(2) in the case of a Non-Payment Default, the earlier of the date on which such
default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, in each case as and to the extent permitted
under the documentation for the Designated Senior Debt, or the 179th day after
the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, in each case, unless
the maturity of the Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated or this Article 5
otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time of such payment or
distribution.
Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up
or liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether voluntary or involuntary) or in
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings, all amounts due or to become due upon
all Senior Debt shall first be paid in full in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders
of Senior Debt before any payment of cash, property or securities is made on account of the
principal of or Interest on, or with respect to the conversion of, the Securities (except, to the
extent required by applicable law, payments made pursuant to Article 14 from monies deposited with
the Trustee pursuant thereto

if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the
basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt held by such holders, or as otherwise required by
law or a court order) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees
under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Debt may have been
issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in
full in cash, or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, after giving effect to
any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt, before any payment or
distribution is made to the Holders of the Securities or to the Trustee.
The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation
or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance, transfer or lease of all
or substantially all its property to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for
in Article 11 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the
purposes of this Section 5.02 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions stated in Article 11.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of
assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including,
without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise), prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received
by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior Debt is paid in full, in cash or
other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, or provision is made for such payment
thereof in accordance with its terms in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior
Debt, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over

respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of
all Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full, in cash or
other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Debt.

pursuant to Sections 10.06 and 12.07. This Section 5.02 shall be subject to the further provisions
of Section 5.05.
Section 5.03. Subrogation of Securities. Subject to the payment in full, in cash or other
payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, of all Senior Debt, the rights of the Holders
of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the
holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5 (equally and ratably with
the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to other
indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and
is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to receive
payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior
Debt until the principal of and Interest on the Securities shall be paid in full in cash or other
payment satisfactory to the Holders of Securities; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no
payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to
which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of
this Article 5, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5, to or for the
benefit of the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as
between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the
Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt; and no
payment or distribution of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this Article 5, which would otherwise have
been paid to the holders of Senior Debt shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for
the account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article 5 are and are
intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities,
on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Debt, on the other hand.
Nothing contained in this Article 5 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is
intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and Interest on the
Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is
intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of
the Company other than the holders of the Senior Debt.
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 5, the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 12.01, and the Holders of the Securities shall be
entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction
in which such bankruptcy,
53
dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a
certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities,
for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the
holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable
thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 5.
Section 5.04. Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each Holder of a Security by the
Holders acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holders behalf to take such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this
Article 5 and appoints the Trustee to act as the Holders attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes.
Section 5.05. Notice to Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written notice in the form
of an Officers Certificate to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and to any Paying Agent of any
fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the
Trustee or any Paying Agent in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article
5. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 5 or any other provision of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the
making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 5, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof at the applicable Corporate Trust Office from the Company (in the
form of an Officers Certificate) or a Representative or a Holder or Holders of Senior Debt or from
any trustee thereof; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 12.01, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist;
provided that, if on a date not less than two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the
terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the
payment of the principal of or Interest on any Security) the Trustee shall not have received, with
respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 5.05, then, anything herein
contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to
receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior
date. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 5 to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any payment
by the Trustee to the Holders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Article 14, and any such
payment shall not be subject to the provisions of this Article 5.
The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 12.01, shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Representative or a person representing himself
to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf
54
of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a Representative or a holder
of Senior Debt. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is
required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any
payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 5, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish
evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such
Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution
and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 5, and if such
evidence is not furnished the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial
determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.
Section 5.06. Trustees Relation to Senior Debt. The Trustee in its individual capacity
shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 5 in respect of any Senior Debt at
any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in Section
12.13 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.
With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe
only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 5, and no
implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Debt and, subject to the provisions of Section 12.01, the Trustee shall not be
liable to any holder of Senior Debt if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of Securities, the
Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of Senior Debt shall be entitled by
virtue of this Article 5 or otherwise.
Section 5.07. No Impairment of Subordination. No right of any present or future holder of
any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or
failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the
terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any
such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.
Section 5.08. No Impairment Of Conversion Right. Nothing contained in this Article 5 or
elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the
Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders, the right, which is
absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Security to convert such Security in accordance
with Article 9.
Section 5.09. Existing Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures. The Securities are not
senior in right of payment to, and will rank equal with, the Companys 2.95% Junior Subordinated
Convertible Debentures Due 2035.
55
Section 5.10. Article Applicable to Paying Agents. If at any time any Paying Agent other
than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term
Trustee as used in this Article 5 shall (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as
extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and
purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article 5 in addition to or in place of the
Trustee; provided, however, that the first paragraph of Section 5.05 shall not apply to the Company
or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.
Section 5.11. Senior Debt Entitled to Rely. The holders of Senior Debt (including, without
limitation, Designated Senior Debt) shall have the right to rely upon this Article 5, and no
amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of such
holders unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto.
ARTICLE 6
Covenants
Section 6.01. Payments. The Company shall duly and punctually make all payments in respect
of the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.
Any payments made or due pursuant to this Indenture shall be considered paid on the applicable
date due if by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date the Paying Agent holds, in accordance
with this Indenture, cash sufficient to pay all such amounts then due. Payment of the principal of
and Interest on the Securities shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
Section 6.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain an office or
agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served, which shall initially be the
applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written notice to
the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any
time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish
the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be
made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the
Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
56
The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to
time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission
and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
Section 6.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustees Office. The Company, whenever
necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided
in Section 12.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.
Section 6.04. Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any
time act as its own Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of any payment in respect of
any of the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto
a sum sufficient to make the payment so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons
or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
failure so to act.
Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to each due date of
any payment in respect of any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such
amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent
is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section 6.04, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any
default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment in
respect of the Securities, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent as such.
The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay,
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by
the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such
Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the
57
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
money.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the making of payments in respect of any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such payment has become due shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held
by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all
liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability
of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or
such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the
Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New York, notice that such
money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30
days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be
repaid to the Company. In the absence of a written request from the Company to return funds
remaining unclaimed for two years after such payment has become due to the Company, the Trustee
shall from time to time deliver all unclaimed payments to or as directed by applicable escheat
authorities, as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the customary
practices and procedures of the Trustee. Any such unclaimed funds held by the Trustee pursuant to
this Section 6.04 shall be held uninvested and without any liability for interest.
Section 6.05. Statement by Officers as to Default. The Company will deliver to the Trustee,
within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an
Officers Certificate, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof the Company
is in Default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of
this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder)
and, if the Company shall be in Default, specifying all such Defaults and the nature and status
thereof of which they may have knowledge.
Section 6.06. Existence. Subject to Article 11, the Company shall do or cause to be done
all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter
and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
preserve any such right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof
is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is
not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.
58
Section 6.07. Rule 144A Information Requirement. Within the period prior to the expiration
of the holding period applicable to sales of Securities or any Common Stock issuable on conversion
thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), the Company
covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period in which it is not subject to Section 13 or
15(d) under the Exchange Act, make available to any Holder or beneficial Securityholder or any such
Common Stock, in each case which continue to be Restricted Securities, in connection with any sale
thereof and any prospective Purchasers of Securities or such Common Stock from such Holder or
beneficial holder, the information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act
upon the request of any Holder or beneficial holder of the Securities or such Common Stock and it
will take such further action as any Holder or beneficial holder of such Securities or such Common
Stock may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder or
beneficial holder to sell its Securities or Common Stock without registration under the Securities
Act within the limitation of the exemption provided by Rule 144A, as such rule may be amended from
time to time. Upon the request of any Holder or any beneficial holder of the Securities or such
Common Stock, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.
Section 6.08. Resale of Certain Securities. During the period beginning on the Issue Date
and ending on the date that is one year from the Issue Date, the Company shall not, and shall not
permit any of its affiliates (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor
provision thereto) to, resell any Securities which constitute restricted securities under Rule
144 that have been reacquired by any of them. The Trustee shall have no responsibility in respect
of the Companys performance of its agreement in the preceding sentence.
Section 6.09. Book-Entry System. If the Securities cease to trade in the Depositarys
book-entry settlement system, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts
to make such other book entry arrangements that it determines are reasonable for the Securities.
Section 6.10. Additional Interest. If at any time Additional Interest becomes payable by the
Company pursuant to Section 10.03, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Trustee a certificate
to that effect and stating (1) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (2) the
date on which such Additional Interest is payable. Additional Interest payable in accordance with
Section 10.03 shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the
same manner as Regular Interest on the Securities. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee receives such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Additional
Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled
to such Additional Interest, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate setting forth
the particulars of such payment.
59
Section 6.11. Commission Filings And Reports.. The Company covenants to comply with Section
314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act as it relates to reports, information and documents that the
Company may be required to file with the Trustee pursuant to such Section 314(a) and with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise by the Exchange Act,
the Trust Indenture Act or other rules and regulations of the Commission and to file such reports,
information and documents with the Trustee within 45 days after the same is required to be filed
with the Commission; provided that in each case the delivery of materials to the Trustee by
electronic means or filing of documents pursuant to the Commissions EDGAR system (or any
successor electronic filing system) shall be deemed to constitute filing with the Trustee for
purposes of this Section 6.11. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee
is for informational purposes only and the Trustees receipt of such shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Companys compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers Certificates).
Section 6.12. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which
would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or
interest on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company
(to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 6.13. Information for IRS Filings. The Company shall provide to the Trustee on a
timely basis such information as the Trustee requires to enable the Trustee to prepare and file any
form required to be submitted by the Company to the Internal Revenue Service and the Holders of the
Securities.
Section 6.14. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company will
execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably
necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.
Section 6.15. Tax Treatment of the Securities. The Company agrees, and by acceptance of a
beneficial ownership interest in the Securities each Holder of Securities will be deemed to have
agreed, for United States federal income tax purposes, (a) to treat the Securities as indebtedness
of the Company subject to
60
United States Treasury regulations section 1.1275-4 (the Contingent Debt Regulations) and,
for purposes of the Contingent Debt Regulations, to treat the Fair Market Value of any Common Stock
beneficially received by a Holder upon any conversion of the Securities as a contingent payment,
(b) to be bound by the Companys determination of the comparable yield and projected payment
schedule, within the meaning of the Contingent Debt Regulations, with respect to the Securities
and (c) to use such comparable yield and projected payment schedule in determining interest
accruals with respect to such Holders Securities and in determining adjustments thereto. A Holder
of Securities may obtain the issue date, yield to maturity, comparable yield and the projected
payment schedule by submitting a written request for such information to: Intel Corporation, 2200
Mission College Blvd., M/S SC4-203, Santa Clara, CA 95052-8119, Attention: Corporate Secretary,

Section 7.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given,
Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the

the Redemption Price stated in the notice.

delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or have been converted. The Paying Agent

to Article 9. If such money is then held by the Company in trust and is not required for such
purpose it shall be discharged from such trust.
Section 7.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in
part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new
Security in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the

exchange any Securities during a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption or

Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 Business
Days and not more than 35 Business Days after the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (as
defined below) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the Principal Amount thereof, together with
accrued and unpaid Interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price); provided, however, that if Securities are repurchased
pursuant to this Section 8.01 on any Interest Payment Date, the Interest payable in respect of such
Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of record as of the corresponding Record
Date.
Repurchases of Securities under this Section 8.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder
thereof, upon:
(i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a
Holder of a duly completed notice (the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice) in the form
set forth on the reverse of the Securities prior to the close of business on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and
64
(ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Securities to the Trustee (or other
Paying Agent appointed by the Company) at any time after delivery of the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the applicable
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company),
such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be
so paid pursuant to this Section 8.01 only if the Securities so delivered to the Trustee
(or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall conform in all respects to the
description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state:
(A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of Securities to be delivered
for repurchase;
(B) the portion of the Principal Amount of Securities to be repurchased,
which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
(C) that the Securities are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to
the applicable provisions of the Securities and the Indenture.
Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.01 shall
be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following
the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of the book-entry transfer or
delivery of the Securities.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Trustee (or
other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated
by this Section 8.01 shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at
any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent
appointed by the Company) in accordance with Section 8.03 below.
The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company
of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal
thereof.
(b) Fundamental Change Company Notice. On or before the 20th Business Day after
the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall
65
provide to all Holders of record of the Securities and the Trustee and Paying Agent a notice
(the Fundamental Change Company Notice) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the
repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. Such mailing shall be
by first class mail. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the
Company shall publish a notice containing the information included therein once in a newspaper of
general circulation in the City of New York or publish such information on the Companys website or
through such other public medium as the Company may use at such time.
Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;
(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right;
(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
(vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if
applicable;
(vii) if applicable, the applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the
applicable Conversion Rate;
(viii) whether the Company will pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in cash, shares of the Companys Common Stock, Acquiror Securities or a combination thereof,
specifying the percentage of each;
(ix) if applicable, that the Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder
withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 8.03; and
(x) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase
their Securities.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the
Securityholders repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of
the Securities pursuant to this Section 8.01.
66
(c) No Payment During Events of Default. There shall be no repurchase of any Securities
pursuant to this Section 8.01 if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the
giving, by the Holders of such Securities, of the required Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice)
and is continuing an Event of Default (other than a default that is cured by the payment of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Securities). The Paying Agent will
promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities (i) with respect to which a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture, or (ii)
held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default that is cured by the
payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Securities) in which case,
upon such return, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to
have been withdrawn.
(d) Payment of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. The Securities to be repurchased pursuant
to this Section 8.01 shall be paid for in cash; provided that if a Fundamental Change occurs as a
result of a Change of Control Event and no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the
Securities to be repurchased may be paid for, in whole or in part, at the election of the Company,
in (i) shares of the Companys Common Stock that are Publicly Traded Securities, (ii) shares of
Capital Stock of an acquiror of the Company that are Publicly Traded Securities (Acquiror
Securities) or (iii) any combination of cash or the shares specified in clauses (i) or (ii), in
each case subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (e) below.
(e) Conditions for Election to Pay Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in Common Stock or
Acquiror Securities. If the Company elects to pay all or any portion of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price in shares of Common Stock or in Acquiror Securities, the number of shares of
Common Stock or Acquiror Securities to be paid will equal the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the
portion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price to be paid in such shares of Common Stock or
Acquiror Securities by (ii) 95% of the average of the Last Reported Sale Price of such shares of
Common Stock or Acquiror Securities, as applicable, for the five Trading Day period immediately
preceding but ending on the third Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date, appropriately adjusted to take into account the occurrence, during the period
commencing on the first of the Trading Days during the five Trading Day period and ending on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, of any event described in Section 9.03. The Company shall
designate, in the Fundamental Change Company Notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(b) above,
whether it will repurchase the Securities for cash, shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities
or, if a combination thereof, the percentages of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect
of which it will pay cash, shares of Common Stock and Acquiror Securities; provided that the
Company will pay cash for fractional interests in shares of Common Stock and Acquiror Securities.
67
For purposes of determining the existence of potential fractional interests, all Securities
subject to repurchase by the Company held by a Holder shall be considered together (no matter how
many separate certificates are to be presented). Each Holder whose Securities are repurchased
pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall receive the same percentages of cash, shares of Common Stock
and Acquiror Securities in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such Securities,
except with regard to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock or Acquiror
Securities. The Company may not change its election with respect to the consideration (or
components or percentages of components thereof) to be paid once the Company has given its
Fundamental Change Company Notice to Holders except in the event of a failure to satisfy, prior to
the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, any
condition to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, in whole or in part, in shares
of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities.
The Company shall, at least three Business Days prior to delivering the Fundamental Change
Company Notice, deliver an Officers Certificate to the Trustee specifying:
(i) the manner of payment selected by the Company,
(ii) the information required by the Fundamental Change Company Notice pursuant to
Section 8.01(b),
(iii) if the Company elects to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, or a
specified percentage thereof, in shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities, that the
conditions to such manner of payment set forth in this Section 8.01(e) have been or will
be complied with, and
(iv) whether the Company desires the Trustee to give the Fundamental Change Company
Notice required by Section 8.01(b).
The Companys right to exercise its election to repurchase Securities through the delivery of
shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities shall be conditioned upon:
(i) the Companys giving a timely Fundamental Change Company Notice containing an
election to purchase all or a specified percentage of the Securities with shares of Common
Stock or Acquiror Securities as provided herein;
(ii) the registration of such shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities under the
Securities Act and, if required, the Exchange Act;
68
(iii) the listing of such shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities on a United
States national securities exchange or the quotation of such shares of Common Stock or
Acquiror Securities in an inter-dealer quotation system of any registered United States
national securities association, in each case, if the Common Stock or Acquiror Securities,
as applicable, are then listed on a national securities exchange or quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system;
(iv) any necessary qualification or registration of such shares of Common Stock or
Acquiror Securities under applicable state securities laws or the availability of an
exemption from such qualification and registration; and
(v) the receipt by the Trustee of (1) an Officers Certificate stating that the terms
of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities are in conformity
with this Indenture, (2) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the shares of Common
Stock or Acquiror Securities to be delivered in payment of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price in respect of the Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued
and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture in payment of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price in respect of the Securities, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and (3) an Officers Certificate, stating that the conditions to the
issuance of the shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities have been satisfied.
Such Officers Certificate shall also set forth the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of
Common Stock or Acquiror Securities, as applicable, on each Trading Day during the period
commencing on the fifth Trading Day immediately preceding but ending on the third Business Day
prior to the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. If the foregoing conditions are not
satisfied prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date and the Company has elected to repurchase the Securities through the
issuance of shares of Common Stock or the delivery of Acquiror Securities, the Company shall pay
the entire Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Securities in cash.
Promptly after determination of the actual number of shares of Common Stock or Acquiror
Securities to be issued upon repurchase of Securities, the Company shall be required to disseminate
a press release through Dow Jones & Company, Inc. or Bloomberg Business News containing the
information required by the Fundamental Change Company Notice or shall publish the information on
the Companys website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.
69
All shares of Common Stock and Acquiror Securities delivered upon repurchase of the Securities
shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
If a Holder of a repurchased Security is paid in shares of Common Stock or Acquiror
Securities, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on
such issue of Common Stock. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax that is due because the
Holder requests that the Common Stock or Acquiror Securities be issued in a name other than the
Holders name. The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) may refuse to deliver
the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities being issued in a
name other than the Holders name until the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the
Company) receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that will be due because the shares of Common
Stock are to be issued in a name other than the Holders name. Nothing herein shall preclude any
income tax withholding required by law or regulations.
Section 8.02. Effect of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. Upon receipt by the Paying
Agent of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice specified in Section 8.01(a), the Holder of the
Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs)
thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to
such Security. Such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to
receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date with respect to such Security (provided the conditions in Section 8.01(a) have been
satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof
in the manner required by Section 8.01(b).
Section 8.03. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
(a) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn 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 Repurchase Date, specifying:
(i) the Principal Amount of the Securities with respect to which such notice of
withdrawal is being submitted;
(ii) if Physical Securities have been issued, the certificate numbers of the
withdrawn Securities; and
(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Securities that remains subject to the
original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which
70
portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000;
provided, however, that if the Securities are not in certificated form, the notice must comply with
appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
Section 8.04. Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (local
time in the City of New York) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of
either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein)
an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) or Common
Stock or Acquiror Securities, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price, of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be repurchased as of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of
the amount of any deposits of cash, Common Stock or Acquiror Securities made pursuant to this
Section 8.04. If the Paying Agent holds cash, Common Stock or Acquiror Securities sufficient to
pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any Security for which a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture as of the
close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then
immediately following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, (a) such Security will cease to be
outstanding and Interest will cease to accrue thereon and (b) all other rights of the Holder in
respect thereof will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price and previously accrued and unpaid Interest upon delivery or transfer of such Security).
Section 8.05. Securities Repurchased in Whole or in Part. Any Security that is to be
repurchased, 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, 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 Holders attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new
Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate
Principal Amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the Principal Amount of the Security
so surrendered which is not repurchased.
Section 8.06. Covenant to Comply With Securities Laws Upon Repurchase of Securities. In
connection with any offer to repurchase Securities under Section 8.01 (provided that such offer or
repurchase constitutes an issuer tender offer for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used
herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer
or
71
repurchase), the Company shall (i) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange
Act, (ii) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report) under the
Exchange Act, and (iii) otherwise comply with all Federal and state securities laws so as to permit
the rights and obligations under Section 8.01 to be exercised in the time and in the manner
specified in Section 8.01.
Section 8.07. Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to
the Company any cash that remains unclaimed, together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon,
held by them for the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price; provided that to the
extent that the aggregate amount of cash, Common Stock and/or Acquiror Securities deposited by the
Company pursuant to Section 8.04 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the
Securities or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to repurchase as of the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date, then as soon as practicable following the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess to the
Company.
ARTICLE 9
Conversion
Section 9.01. Conversion Obligation.
(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, each Holder shall
have the right, at such Holders option, at any time following the Issue Date of the Securities
hereunder through the close of business on the third Scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the
Stated Maturity to convert the Principal Amount of any such Securities, or any portion of such
Principal Amount which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at the rate per $1000 Principal
Amount of such Security (the Conversion Rate) then in effect, (x) on or after February 1, 2039,
without regard to the conditions described in clauses (i) through (v) below and (y) prior to
February 1, 2039, only upon the satisfaction of any of the following conditions:
(i) A Holder may surrender all or a portion of its Securities for conversion during
any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) commencing after December 26,
2009 if the Last Reported Sale Price for 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 preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of
the Conversion Price on each applicable Trading Day.
72
(ii) A Holder may surrender its Securities 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 Securities, as determined following a
request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section
9.01(a)(ii), for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate (Trading Price
Condition). For purposes of this Section 9.01(a)(ii), if the Bid Solicitation Agent
cannot reasonably obtain at least one bid for $5,000,000 Principal Amount of Securities
from an independent nationally recognized securities dealer as required by the definition
of Trading Price, then the Trading Price per $1,000 Principal Amount of Securities will be
deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common
Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate. If the Company does not instruct the Bid
Solicitation Agent to obtain bids when required, the trading price per $1,000 principal
amount of the debentures will be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last
Reported Sale Price on each day that the Company fails to do so. In connection with any
conversion in accordance with this Section 9.01(a)(ii), the Bid Solicitation Agent shall
have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Securities unless requested by
the Company; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request to the Bid
Solicitation Agent unless a Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the
Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities would be less than 98% of the
product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion
Rate and such Holder requests that the Company require the Bid Solicitation Agent to
determine the Trading Price. Promptly after receiving such evidence, the Company shall
instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price of the Securities
beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading
Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities 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 and when the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, for each
day of the Measurement Period is less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale
Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate, the Company will notify the
Holders. If at anytime thereafter, the Trading Price per $1,000 Principal Amount of
Securities 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 will also notify
the Holders.
(iii) A Holder may surrender its Securities for conversion if the Company calls such
Securities for redemption as provided in Article 7, at any time prior to the close of
business on the third Scheduled Trading Day
73
immediately preceding the Redemption Date, even if the Securities are not otherwise
convertible at such time, after which time the Holders right to convert its Securities
pursuant to this Section 9.01 will expire unless the Company defaults in the payment of
the Redemption Price.
(iv) In the event that the Company elects to:
(A) issue to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock rights or
warrants or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
Common Stock, for a period expiring not more than 45 calendar days after the
announcement date of such issuance, at a price less than the average of the Last
Reported Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading
Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement of
such issuance; or
(B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock assets,
debt securities or other rights to purchase securities of the Company, which
distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Companys
Board of Directors in good faith, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price
of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of
announcement for such distribution,
then, in each case, the Company shall notify the Holders, in the manner provided in
Section 1.06, at least 25 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such
issuance or distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender
Securities for conversion at any time until the earlier of 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the Business Day immediately prior to such Ex-Dividend Date or the Companys
announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, even if the
Securities are not otherwise convertible at such time.
(v) If the Company is party to a transaction or event that constitutes a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change, or if the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share
exchange, or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other
assets, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the
date which is 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the
transaction until the earlier of (x) 30 Trading Days after the actual effective date of
such transaction (or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, the
related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) and (y) the date the Company announces the
transaction will not take place. In addition, Holders may
74
surrender all or a portion of their Securities for conversion if an event of the type
described in subparagraph (i) of the definition of Change of Control Event in Section 1.01
hereof occurs. In such event, Holders may surrender Securities for conversion at any time
beginning on the actual effective date of the transaction until and including the date
that is 30 calendar days after the actual effective date of such transaction or, if
earlier, until the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date corresponding to the Fundamental
Change. The Company shall notify Holders, in the manner provided in Section 1.06, as
promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such
transaction.
The initial Conversion Rate (subject to adjustment as provided in this Indenture) is 44.0917 shares
of Common Stock per $1,000 Principal Amount.
Section 9.02. Conversion Procedure.
(a) Upon conversion of any Security, subject to this Section 9.02 and Sections 9.01 and 9.08,
the Company will deliver to Holders in respect of each $1,000 Principal Amount of Securities
tendered for conversion a settlement amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for
each of the 20 Trading Days during the Observation Period (the Settlement Amount).
The Daily Settlement Amount for each of the 20 Trading Days during the Observation Period shall
consist of:
(i) cash equal to the lesser of $50 and the Daily Conversion Value; and
(ii) to the extent the Daily Conversion Value exceeds $50, at the Companys election,
either (A) cash equal to the amount the Daily Conversion Value exceeds $50 or (B) a number
of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the difference between the Daily Conversion Value
and $50, divided by (y) the Volume-Weighted Average Price for such day.
The Daily Conversion Value means, for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the
Observation Period, 5% of the product of (i) the applicable Conversion Rate on such day and (ii)
the Volume-Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on such day.
(b) If any adjustment to the Conversion Rate or conversion of Securities pursuant to this
Article 9 would require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the amount
permitted by applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq Global Select Market to be issued without
approval by the Companys stockholders, the Company shall either (i) obtain the approval of its
stockholders with respect to such issuance or (ii) in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock in
excess of such limitations, pay cash on a pro rata basis to the Holders of
75
Securities being converted in an amount per share of Common Stock equal to the Last Reported
Sale Price for the Companys Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date when
such shares would otherwise be required to be delivered to converting Holders.
(c) For purposes of this Section 9.02, and notwithstanding the definition contained in Section
1.01, the term Trading Day shall mean a day during which (A) there is no Market Disruption Event
and (B) trading in the Common Stock generally occurs on The Nasdaq Global Select Market or, if the
Common Stock is not then listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, on the other principal U.S.
national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or, if the Common
Stock is not then listed on a United States 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 Volume-Weighted Average Price must be determined for purposes of this Section
9.02) is not so listed or traded, then for purposes of this Section 9.02, Trading Day shall mean
a Business Day.
(d) Before any Holder of a Security shall be entitled to convert the same as set forth above,
such Holder shall (1) in the case of a Global Security, comply with the procedures of the
Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next
Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 9.02(k) and, if
required pursuant to Section 9.02(h), pay all stamp, transfer or similar taxes or duties, if any,
in connection with such conversion and (2) in the case of a Security issued in certificated form,
(A) complete and manually sign and deliver an irrevocable written notice to the Conversion Agent in
the form on the reverse of such certificated Security (or a facsimile thereof) (a Notice of
Conversion) at the office of the Conversion Agent and shall state in writing therein the principal
amount of Securities to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder
wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock, if any, to be delivered upon
settlement of the Companys conversion obligation to be registered, (B) surrender such Securities,
duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer
documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (C) if required pursuant to Section 9.02(h), pay
all stamp, transfer or similar taxes or duties, if any, in connection with such conversion, and (D)
if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such
Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 9.02(k). No Notice of Conversion with respect to
any Securities may be tendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also tendered a Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in
accordance with Section 8.03.
If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder,
the Companys conversion obligation with respect to such
76
Securities, if any, that shall be payable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of
the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof to the extent
permitted thereby) so surrendered.
(e) A Security shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of
business on the date (the Conversion Date) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set
forth in clause (d); provided, however, that the Person in whose name any shares of the Common
Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion in respect of any Trading Day during the Observation
Period will become the Holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such Trading
Day.
(f) Payment of the cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, pursuant to Section 9.02(a) in
satisfaction of the Companys conversion obligation shall be made by the Company in no event later
than the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Observation Period.
The Company shall deliver cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock issuable in
connection with payment of the Settlement Amount (based on the Volume-Weighted Average Price for
the final Trading Day of the Observation Period), provided that record ownership shall be
determined as set forth in Section 9.02(e) above.
(g) In case any Security shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder
of the Security so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, a new Security or Securities in
authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the
surrendered Securities.
(h) If a Holder submits a Security for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary,
stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon the
conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests any shares to be issued in a name of
other than the Holders name, in which case the Holder will pay that tax. The Conversion Agent may
refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name
other than the Holders name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will
be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holders name. Nothing herein
shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations.
(i) Except as provided in Section 9.03, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any
shares issued upon the conversion of any Security as provided in this Article 9.
77
(j) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Security, the Trustee shall make a notation
on such Global Security as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of any Security effected through any
Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(k) Upon conversion, a Holder will not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and
unpaid Interest except as set forth below. The Companys settlement of the conversion obligation
as described above shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to pay the Principal Amount of the
Security and accrued and unpaid Interest to, but not including, the Conversion Date. As a result,
accrued and unpaid Interest to, but not including, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid
in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
payments in respect of accrued and unpaid Interest on Securities converted after the close of
business on a Record Date and prior to the opening of business on the related Interest Payment Date
shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.01 hereof. Except as described above, no payment
or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on converted Securities.
Section 9.03. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from
time to time by the Company as follows, except that the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted if
Holders of the Securities participate, at the same time as holders of Common Stock and as a result
of holding the Securities, in any of the transactions described in this Section 9.03 without having
to convert their Securities and as if they held the full number of shares of Common Stock
underlying such Securities:
(a) In case the Company shall issue solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or
distribution on all or substantially all shares of the outstanding Common Stock, or shall effect a
share split into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or a share combination into a lesser
number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following
formula:

applicable; |

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date fixed for such share
split or share combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section
9.03(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not
split or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted,
effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or
distribution, or subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be,
to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, split or
combination had not been declared.
(b) In case the Company shall issue to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding
shares of Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar
days after the announcement date of such issuance) 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, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following
formula:

the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable
to exercise or convert such rights or warrants divided by 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 date of announcement of the
issuance of such rights or warrants. |
Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued and
shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex Dividend Date for
such issuance. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of
such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would
then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made
on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such
rights or warrants are announced but not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to
be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the announcement with respect to such rights
or warrants had not been made.
In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at less than such Last Reported Sale Prices of 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 offering price of such shares of
Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such
rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such
consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially
all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than
Common Stock as covered by Section 9.03(a)), evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company (including
securities, but excluding dividends and distributions covered by Section 9.03(a), 9.03(b), 9.03(d),
9.03(e) or 9.08) (any of such shares of Capital Stock, indebtedness, other assets or property of
the Company or rights or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities hereinafter in this
Section 9.03(c) called the Distributed Property), then, in each such case other than a Spin-Off
the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such dividend or distribution is declared but not so
paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then
be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors
determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 9.03(c) by
reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so
consider the prices in such market over the same period used above in computing the average of the
Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9.03(c) where there has been a payment of a
dividend or other distribution on the 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 (a
Spin-Off), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

|
|
|
|
|
MP0 |
|
=
|
|
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the
Valuation Period. |
Such adjustment shall occur on the last day of the Valuation Period; provided that in respect of
any conversion (or calculation of a Daily Settlement Amount in respect of a conversion occurring
before the Ex Dividend Date of any Spin Off) during the Valuation Period, references with respect
to 10 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 Conversion Date or the date of such
calculation of a Daily Settlement Amount in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.
Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the
holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Companys Capital Stock (either
initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a
specified event or events (Trigger Event): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of
Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of
Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 9.03 (and
no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 9.03 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 9.03(c).
If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to
the date of this 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 record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a
termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders
thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or
warrants, or any Trigger
82
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 9.03 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants
that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such
distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to
the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with
respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants),
made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the
case of such rights or warrants that 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.
For purposes of this Section 9.03(c) and Sections 9.03(a) and 9.03(b), any dividend or
distribution to which this Section 9.03(c) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock,
or rights or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or convert into shares of Common Stock to which
Section 9.03(a) and/or Section 9.03(b) applies, shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or
distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of Capital Stock other than such
shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 9.03(a) or 9.03(b) applies (and any
Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 9.03(c) with respect to such dividend or
distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such
shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants to which Section 9.03(a) or 9.03(b) applies (and
any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Sections 9.03(a) and 9.03(b) with respect to
such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend
or distribution shall be substituted for the Ex-Dividend Date, the the Ex-Dividend Date or
effective date, and the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance within the meaning of Sections
9.03(a) and 9.03(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution
shall not be deemed outstanding immediately prior to such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date
within the meaning of Section 9.03(a).
(d) In case the Company shall pay a dividend or make a distribution consisting exclusively of
cash to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock other than (1) a regular quarterly
cash dividend that does not exceed $0.14 per share (the Initial Dividend Threshold) or (2) an
Extraordinary Dividend payable to Securityholders, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on
the following formula:

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

distribution is not a regular quarterly cash dividend, the Initial Dividend Threshold
will be deemed to be zero. The Initial Dividend Threshold is subject to adjustment
in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Conversion Rate; provided
that no adjustment will be made to the Initial Dividend Threshold for any adjustment
to the conversion rate under this Section 9.03(d). |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately before 9:00 am, New York City time, on the
Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is declared
but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that
would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 9.03(d), in the event of any
reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Securities become convertible into
more than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant
to this Section 9.03(d), references in this Section 9.03(d) to one share of Common Stock or Last
Reported Sale Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price
of a unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Stock into which the
Securities are then convertible equal to the numbers of shares of such class issued in respect of
one share of Common Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications.
(e) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender offer
or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value
of any other consideration included in
84
the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the 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 (as it may be amended), the Conversion Rate shall be increased

of a conversion occurring before the expiration date of such tender or exchange) within 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
Conversion Date or the date of such calculation of a Daily Settlement Amount in determining the
applicable Conversion Rate. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such
tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting
any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted
to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not
been made.
(f) If (i) the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation through delivery of a
combination of cash and Common Stock and shares of Common Stock are deliverable to settle the Daily
Settlement Amount for a given Trading Day within the Observation Period applicable to Securities a
holder has converted, (ii) any distribution or transaction described in clauses (a) through (e)
above has not yet resulted in an adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate on the Trading Day in
question, and (iii) the shares the holder will receive in respect of such Trading Day are not
entitled to participate in the relevant distribution or transaction (because they were not held on
a related record date or otherwise), then promptly after such distribution or transaction has
occurred, the Company will adjust the number of shares that it delivers to the holder in respect of
the relevant Trading Day as the Company determines is appropriate to reflect the relevant
distribution or transaction.
(g) For purposes of this Section 9.03 (i) the term record date shall mean, with respect to
any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have
the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other
applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or
other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash,
securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute,
contract or otherwise) and (ii) the term effective date shall mean the first date on which the
shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, reflecting the
transaction.
(h) If application of the formulas provided in Section 9.03(a), 9.03(b), 9.03(c), 9.03(d) or
9.03(e) would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate
shall be made except in the case of a reverse share split or share combination.
(i) In addition to those required by clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 9.03,
and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the
86
applicable rules of The Nasdaq Global Select Market (if the Common Stock is then listed on the
Nasdaq Global Select Market), the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any
amount for a period of at least 20 days if the Companys Board of Directors determines that such
increase would be in the Companys best interest. In addition, the Company may also (but is not
required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common
Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares
(or rights to acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant
to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Security at such Holders
last address appearing on the Security Register provided for in Section 3.05 a notice of the
increase at least fifteen days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and
such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in
effect.
(j) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 9 shall be made by the
Company or its agents and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth
(1/10,000) of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment shall be made for the Companys issuance
of Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities or rights to purchase Common Stock or
convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 9.03. No adjustment
shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1%
in the Conversion Rate then in effect at such time. Any adjustment that would otherwise be
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment or
in connection with any conversion of Securities.
(k) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly
file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers Certificate
setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and the
Conversion Agent shall have received such Officers Certificate, neither the Trustee nor the
Conversion Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may
assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
or the Conversion Agent, as applicable, has actual 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 at his last address appearing on the Security Register provided for in Section 3.05 of this
Indenture, within 20 days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice
shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
87
(l) In any case in which this Section 9.03 provides that an adjustment shall become effective
immediately after (1) an Ex-Dividend Date or effective for an event or (2) the expiration date for
any tender or exchange offer pursuant to Section 9.03(e) (each an Adjustment Determination Date),
the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the applicable Adjustment Event (as
hereinafter defined) (x) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such Adjustment
Determination Date and before the occurrence of such Adjustment Event, the additional shares of
Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required
by such Adjustment Event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before
giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any
fraction pursuant to Section 9.03. For purposes of this Section 9.03(l), the term Adjustment
Event shall mean:
(i) in any case referred to in clause (1) hereof, the occurrence of such event,
(ii) in any case referred to in clause (2) hereof, the date a sale or exchange of
Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes
irrevocable.
(m) For purposes of this Section 9.03, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares
issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(n) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted: (i) upon
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the
reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the securities of the Company and the investment
of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan; (ii) upon the issuance of
any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or
future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any
Subsidiary; (iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant,
right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) and
outstanding as of the date the Securities were first issued; (iv) for any dividend or distribution
in connection with a merger, sale or conveyance effected solely for the purpose of changing the
Companys jurisdiction of incorporation as permitted by the terms of the Indenture; (v) for a
change in the par value of the Common Stock; or (vi) for accrued and unpaid Interest.
Section 9.04. Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive
rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in
88
treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Securities from
time to time as such Securities are presented for conversion.
Section 9.05. Adjustments of Average Prices. Whenever a provision of the Indenture requires
the calculation of an average of Last Reported Sale Prices or Volume-Weighted Average Price over a
span of multiple days, the Company will make appropriate adjustments to account for any adjustment
to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an 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 the
average is to be calculated, including upon the occurrence of multiple events that each result in
an adjustment to the Conversion Rate in such period.
Section 9.06. Conversion After a Public Acquiror Change of Control.
(a) In the event of a Public Acquiror Change of Control, the Company may, in lieu of
delivering cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 9.07, elect
(subject to the satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 9.06) to adjust the Conversion Rate
and the related conversion obligation such that from and after the effective date of such Public
Acquiror Change of Control, Holders will be entitled to convert their Securities, in accordance
with Section 9.01 hereof, into cash and a number of shares of Public Acquiror Common Stock by
adjusting the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Public Acquiror Change of Control by
multiplying it by a fraction:
(i) the numerator of which will be (A) in the case of a share exchange,
consolidation, merger or binding share exchange, pursuant to which the Common Stock is
converted into cash, securities or other property, the average value of all cash and any
other consideration (as determined by the Companys Board of Directors in the manner
contemplated by Section 9.03(c)) paid or payable per share of Common Stock or (B) in the
case of any other Public Acquiror Change of Control, the average of the Last Reported Sale
Prices of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days prior to but excluding
the effective date of such Public Acquiror Change of Control; and
(ii) the denominator of which will be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of
the Public Acquiror Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days commencing on the
Trading Day next succeeding the effective date of such Public Acquiror Change of Control.
(b) In order to make the election pursuant to this Section 9.06, the Company and the issuer of
the Public Acquiror Common Stock shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which
shall comply with the Trust
89
Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing
that each Security shall be exchangeable into Public Acquiror Common Stock. Such supplemental
indenture shall provide for provisions and adjustments which shall be a nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the provisions and adjustments provided for in this Article 9.
(c) The Company will provide notice to Holders of its election to adjust the Conversion Rate
pursuant to this Section 9.06 in the notice delivered with respect to the Make-Whole Fundamental
Change that constitutes a Public Acquiror Change of Control pursuant to Section 8.01(b) (or, if no
such notice is required because the 105% Exception is applicable, then a notice delivered at the
same time as such notice would have been required for a Fundamental Change).
Section 9.07. Adjustments Upon Certain Fundamental Changes. (a) If a Holder elects to
convert Securities at any time from and after the date that is 30 Business Days prior to the
anticipated effective date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change until the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date (or, if there is no Fundamental Change Repurchase Date because the 105% Exception
is applicable, then until 30 Business Days following the date of such Fundamental Change,
determined without regard to the 105% Exception), the Conversion Rate applicable to each $1,000
Principal Amount of converted Securities shall be increased by an additional number of shares of
Common Stock (the Additional Shares) as described below.
(b) The number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased shall be
determined by reference to the table attached as Exhibit B hereto, based on the date on which the
Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the Make-Whole Effective Date) and the
Stock Price; provided that if the actual Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in such
table or the Make-Whole Effective Date is between two Make-Whole Effective Dates in such table, the
number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number
of Additional Shares set forth for the next higher and next lower Stock Price amounts and the two
nearest Make-Whole Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; provided further that
if (1) the Stock Price is greater than $75.00 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in
the same manner as set forth in Section 9.03), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion
Rate, and (2) the Stock Price is less than $18.90 per share (subject to adjustment in the same
manner as set forth in Section 9.03), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of Additional Shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion exceed 8.8183 per $1,000 Principal Amount (subject to adjustment in
the same manner as set forth in Section 9.03).
90
(c) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Exhibit B hereto shall be
adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Securities is adjusted. 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 in effect immediately prior
to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the
Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares within the table shall be adjusted
in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 9.03 (other than by operation of
an adjustment to the Conversion Rate by adding Additional Shares).
(d) The table in Exhibit B hereto sets forth the hypothetical stock price and the number of
additional shares to be received per $1,000 Principal Amount of Securities.
(e) Upon surrender of Securities for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental
Change, the Company shall deliver, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, including the Additional
Shares, cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock as provided under Section 9.02;
provided, however, that if the consideration for the Common Stock in any Make-Whole Fundamental
Change described in clause (ii) of the definition of Change of Control Event is comprised entirely
of cash, for any conversion of Securities following the Make-Whole Effective Date of such
Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the conversion obligation will be calculated based solely on the
Stock Price for the transaction and will be deemed to be an amount equal to the applicable
Conversion Rate (including any adjustment) multiplied by the Stock Price. In such event, the
conversion obligation shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the third Business Day
following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify holders of the Make-Whole Effective Date
and issue a press release announcing such Make-Whole Effective Date no later than five Business
Days after such Make-Whole Effective Date.
(f) If at any time the Company obtains knowledge that a Make-Whole Fundamental Change will
occur, then, no later than 30 Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such
Make-Whole Fundamental Change (or, in the event that the Company obtains knowledge of such
Make-Whole Fundamental Change less than 30 Business Days before such anticipated effective date, no
later than 3 Business Days after the date on which the Company obtains such knowledge), the Company
shall notify Holders of the Securities, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of the occurrence and
anticipated effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and shall disseminate a press
release through Reuters Economic Services and Bloomberg Business News stating that it expects a
Make-Whole Fundamental Change to occur with respect to the Securities and identifying the
anticipated effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
91
Section 9.08. Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes to the Common
Stock.
(a) If any of the following events occur:
(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Securities (other than a change in par value, or from par
value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision
or combination, or any other change for which an adjustment is provided in Section 9.03);
(ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another Person;
(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer of all of the consolidated assets of the
Company and its Subsidiaries to any other Person 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,
stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof),
then, at the effective time of the transaction, the right to convert a Security will be changed to
a right to convert each $1000 principal amount of such Security into the kind and amount of shares
of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof)
that a Holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior
to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive (the Reference Property) upon
such transaction. In such a case, any increase in the Conversion Rate by the Additional Shares as
provided in Section 9.07 will not be payable in Additional Shares of Common Stock (or cash and
Additional Shares) but will represent the right to receive the aggregate amount of cash, securities
or other property into which the Additional Shares would convert in the transaction from the
surviving entity (or a direct or indirect parent thereof). However, at and after the effective
time of such transaction, (x) any amount otherwise payable in cash upon conversion of the
Securities pursuant to Section 9.02 will continue to be payable in cash, (y) the number of shares
of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion of the Securities pursuant to Section 9.02
will instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that
number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such transaction and (z) the
Volume-Weighted Average Price will be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property
that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in such transaction. If the
transaction causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive
more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of
92
stockholder election), the Reference Property into which the Securities will be convertible shall
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 election. Notwithstanding the first sentence
of this paragraph, if the Company elects to adjust the Conversion Rate and its conversion
obligation pursuant to Section 9.06, the provisions of Section 9.06 shall apply instead of the
first sentence of this paragraph. If the transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, a
Holder may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of its Securities pursuant to Article
8 hereof. In connection with any transaction described above, the Company shall also adjust the
Initial Dividend Threshold based on the number of shares of Common Stock comprising the Reference
Property and, if applicable, the value of any non-stock consideration comprising the Reference
Property. If the Reference Property is comprised solely of non-stock consideration, the Initial
Dividend Threshold shall be adjusted to zero.
Section 9.09. Certain Covenants.
(a) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Rate
below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Securities, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be
necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at
such adjusted Conversion Rate.
The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Securities
will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and changes
with respect to the issue thereof.
(b) The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose
of conversion of Securities hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental
authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion,
the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, to the extent then permitted by
the rules and interpretations of the Commission (or any successor thereto), endeavor to secure such
registration or approval, as the case may be.
(c) The Company covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any other
national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will, if permitted and
required by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long
as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities.
93
(d) The Company covenants that it shall not become a party to any transaction described in
Section 9.08 unless the terms of such transaction are consistent with the foregoing.
Section 9.10. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall
not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Securityholder to determine the
Conversion Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate,
or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with
respect to 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
securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any
Security; and the Trustee and any other 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 shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other
securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion or
to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this
Article 9. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any
Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions
contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 9.08 relating either to
the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by
Securityholders upon the conversion of their Securities after any event referred to in such Section
9.08 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of
Section 12.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and
shall be protected in conclusively relying upon, the Officers Certificate (which the Company shall
be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture)
with respect thereto.
Section 9.11. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:
(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common
Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.03; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to all of the holders of its Common
Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any
other rights or warrants; or
(c) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a
subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or
from par value to no par value, or from
94
no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is
a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company;
the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each Securityholder at his
address appearing on the Security Register, provided for in Section 3.05 of this Indenture, as
promptly as possible but in any event at least twenty days prior to the applicable date hereinafter
specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of
which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights
are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of
such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up.
Section 9.12. Stockholder Rights Plans. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion
of Securities pursuant to this Article 9 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of
rights, if any, and the certificates representing the 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. If at the time
of conversion, however, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance
with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement so that the Holders of the
Securities would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Securities, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if
the Company has distributed to all holders of Common Stock, shares of Capital Stock of the Company,
evidence of indebtedness or assets as provided in Section 9.03(c), subject to readjustment in the
event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
Section 9.13. Exchange in Lieu of Conversion.
95
(a) If at any time when a Holder surrenders Securities for conversion prior to the Stated
Maturity of the Securities, the Company:
(i) has designated a financial institution (a Designated Institution) to accept
such Securities in exchange for cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to the
consideration due upon conversion as provided in Section 9.02; and
(ii) notifies the Holder surrendering such Securities for conversion by the second
Trading Day after the Conversion Date, that it has directed the Designated Institution to
make an exchange in lieu of conversion,
then, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Company may direct the
Conversion Agent to surrender such Securities, on or prior to the commencement of the applicable
Observation Period to the Designated Institution for exchange in lieu of conversion.
(b) If the Designated Institution accepts Securities surrendered for exchange, it shall notify
the Conversion Agent whether it shall deliver, upon exchange, all cash or a combination of cash and
shares of Common Stock and shall deliver such cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, as specified
in Section 9.02 to the Conversion Agent and the Stock Transfer Agent (in the case of shares of
Common Stock) and the Conversion Agent, and Stock Transfer Agent, if applicable, shall deliver such
cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, to the Holder, on the third Business Day immediately
following the last day of the applicable Observation Period, which delivery shall be deemed to
satisfy the Companys conversion obligations under this Article 9 with respect to such Holder. Any
Securities so exchanged by such Designated Institution shall remain Outstanding for all purposes
under this Indenture.
(c) If the Designated Institution agrees to accept any Securities for exchange but does not
timely deliver the related consideration to the Conversion Agent, or if the Designated Institution
does not accept such Securities for exchange, the Company shall, on the third Business Day
immediately following the last day of the applicable Observation Period, convert such Securities
into cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9.02.
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the Companys designation of a financial
institution pursuant to this Section 9.13 require such financial institution to accept any
Securities for exchange.
96

order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(a) default in the payment of Interest on any Securities when due and payable and such default
continues for a period of 30 days;
(b) default in the payment of the Principal Amount, Redemption Price or Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price on any Security when it becomes due and payable;

(e) failure by the Company to issue a Fundamental Change Company Notice when due;
(f) default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition of the Company in this

such default continues for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or
certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of
at least 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities a written notice
specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a Notice
of Default hereunder; provided, however, that failure by the Company to file with the Commission
or submit to the Trustee any annual, quarterly or other report required by the Exchange Act shall
not constitute an Event of Default until 180 days after the date on which the Company receives such
notice;
(g) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for
relief in respect of the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order
adjudging the Company as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect
97
of the Company under any applicable federal or state law or (iii) appointing a custodian,
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or
of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs,
and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order
unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(h) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case
or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a
decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the
commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of
a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or
state law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking
possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar
official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in
furtherance of any such action.
Section 10.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a) If an Event of
Default (other than those specified in Sections 10.01(g) and 10.01(h)) occurs and is continuing,
then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal
Amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid
Interest on all the Outstanding Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such
Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid Interest shall become immediately due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section
10.01(g) or Section 10.01(h)), the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid Interest on all
Outstanding Securities will ipso facto become due and payable without any declaration or other act
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment
or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this
Article 10 provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding
Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if:
98
(i) such rescission and annulment will not conflict with any judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction; and
(ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the Principal Amount plus
accrued and unpaid Interest on Securities that have become due solely by such declaration
of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 10.13.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 10.03. Additional Interest. (a) If, at any time during the six-month period
beginning on, and including, the date which is six months after the Issue Date, the Company fails
to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all
applicable grace periods thereunder and other than current reports on Form 8-K), or the Securities
are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders, other than the Companys Affiliates (as a result of
restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities), the
Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Securities which shall accrue on the Securities (i) at
a rate of 0.25% per annum of the Principal Amount of Securities outstanding for each day during the
first 90 days of such period for which the Companys failure to file, or the failure of the
Securities to be freely tradable by Holders, other than the Companys Affiliates, as described
above, has occurred and is continuing and (ii) at a rate of 0.50% per annum of the Principal Amount
of Securities outstanding for each day after the first 90 days during such period for which the
Companys failure to file, or the failure of the Securities to be freely tradable by Holders, other
than the Companys Affiliates, as described above, has occurred and is continuing.
(b) If, and for so long as, the restrictive legend on the Securities has not been removed in
accordance with Article 2 or the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders, other
than the Companys Affiliates (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms
of this Indenture or the Securities), as of the 365th day after the Issue Date, the Company shall
pay Additional Interest on the Securities which shall accrue on the Securities at a rate of (i)
0.25% per annum of the Principal Amount of Securities outstanding for the for each day during the
first 90 days during such period and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the Principal Amount Securities
outstanding for each day after the first 90 days during such period until, as applicable (i) the
restrictive legend on the Securities has been removed in accordance with Article 2, or (ii) the
Securities are otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Companys Affiliates (without
restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities).
99
(c) Notwithstanding Section 10.02, if so elected by the Company, the sole remedy for any Event
of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 6.11 hereof, will for the first 270 days
after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive
Additional Interest on the Securities at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the Principal Amount of
Outstanding Securities during the first 90 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default
and 0.50% of the Principal Amount of Outstanding Securities from the 91st day until the
270th day following the occurrence of such an Event of Default. The Additional Interest
payable pursuant to this Section 10.03(c) will be in addition to any Additional Interest that may
accrue pursuant to Section 10.03(a) or 10.03(b) hereof. If the Company so elects, the Additional
Interest payable under this Section 10.03(c) will be payable on all Outstanding Securities from and
including the date on which such event of default first occurs to, but not including, the
270th day thereafter, or such earlier date on which such Event of Default has been cured
or waived. On the 270th day after such Event of Default (or earlier, if the Event of
Default is cured or waived prior to 270th day), Additional Interest payable pursuant to
this Section 10.03(c) will cease to accrue and, to the extent the Event of Default is continuing,
the Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 10.02. In the event the
Company does not elect to pay the Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 10.03(c)
upon an Event of Default in accordance with this paragraph, the Securities will be subject to
acceleration as provided in Section 10.02.
In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 10.03(c) as
the sole remedy during the first 270 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to
the failure to comply with Section 6.11 in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the
Company must (i) notify all Holders, the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election prior to the
date that is 180 days after the Notice of Default is delivered to the Company by the Trustee or
holders of at least 25% in Principal Amount of Outstanding Securities. Upon the failure to timely
give all Holders, the Trustee and Paying Agent such notice, the Securities will be subject to
acceleration as provided in Section 10.02.
Section 10.04. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. If an Event
of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any
available remedy to collect the payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid Interest on
the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess any of the Securities or
does not produce any of the Securities in the proceeding. [Note: Deleted Sections already appear
in Sections 12.07, 10.11, 10.10]
Section 10.05. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of any judicial proceeding
relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors,
the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by
100
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the
Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such
proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee
and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 12.07.
No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 10.06. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant
to this Article 10 shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money to Holders, upon presentation of the
Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:
FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 12.07; and
SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid on the Securities for the
Principal Amount, Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Interest, as
the case may be, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been
collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts
due and payable on such Securities.
Section 10.07. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security shall have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder (other than in the case of
an Event of Default specified in Section 10.01(a) or 10.01(b)), unless:
(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing
Event of Default;
(ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the
Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to
101
the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own
name as Trustee hereunder;
(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
compliance with such request;
(iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
security or indemnity satisfactory to it has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
(v) no direction, in the opinion of the Trustee, inconsistent with such written
request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities;
it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders (it being
understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such
actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).
Section 10.08. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the Principal Amount,
Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Interest in respect of the Securities held
by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities or any Redemption
Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as applicable, and to convert the Securities in
accordance with Article 9, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such respective dates or the right to convert, shall not be impaired or affected adversely without
the consent of such Holder.
Section 10.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding
has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee
or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding,
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their
former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
102
Section 10.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph
of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the
Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 10.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 10 or by law to the Trustee or
to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
Section 10.12. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the
Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee, provided that:
(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture; and
(ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction.
Section 10.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in
Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities
waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default:
(i) Described in Section 10.01(a) or 10.01(b); or
(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 15 cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
affected.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
103
Section 10.14. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as Trustee, in either case in respect of the Securities, a court may require any party litigant
in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, against any party litigant in
the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant; but the provisions of this Section 10.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of
Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities,
or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the Principal Amount
on any Security on or after Maturity of such Security, the Redemption Price or the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price.

withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities.

the Trustee, under this Indenture;
(n) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or

action; and
(o) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance
of its powers and duties hereunder.
Section 12.04. Not Responsible for Recitals. The recitals contained herein and in the
Securities, except the Trustees certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements
of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes
no representations as to the validity, sufficiency or priority of this Indenture or of the
Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of
Securities or the proceeds thereof. Except with respect to the authentication of Securities
pursuant to Section 3.03, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the legality or the validity of
this Indenture or the Securities issued or intended to be issued hereunder.
Section 12.05. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar
or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and, subject to Section 12.08 and 12.13, may otherwise deal with the Company
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such
other agent.
Section 12.06. Money Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.02, all monies
and properties received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in
trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be
under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in
writing with the Company.
Section 12.07. Compensation, Reimbursement; Indemnification. The Company agrees:
(i) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services
rendered by it hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in
writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its
request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable

misconduct; and
(iii) to indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it
harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense including taxes

removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. To secure the
Companys payment obligations in this Section 12.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the
Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to
pay principal on the Securities. Such lien shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee
and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after a Default or an Event of Default specified in Section 10.01(g) or 10.01(h) hereof
occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its
agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under U.S. Code, Title 11
or any other similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.
Section 12.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire
a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either

provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to
act as such and has, or whose parent banking company has, a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
109
this Section 12.09, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If
at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 12.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
in this Article 12.
Section 12.10.
Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or
removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article 12 shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 12.11.
(b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within
30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Company for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.
(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of majority in Principal
Amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within
30 days after the notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the
Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities.
(d) If at any time:
(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 12.08 after written request
therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for
at least six months, or
(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 12.09 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or
(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or
(iv) a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Company Order may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject
to Section 10.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide
110
Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee.
(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Company Order, shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability,
or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of
a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the
retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and
accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(f) The Company shall give written notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee
and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.06.
Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office.
Section 12.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed
hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon
payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee
all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.
Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for
more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights,
powers and trusts.
No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 12.
Section 12.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Person into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
111
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of
the Trustee by sale or otherwise, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 12, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any
Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any
successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such
successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.
Section 12.13. Preferential Collection of Claims against the Company. If and when the
Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities),
the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection
of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

Indenture, when
