Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
 
(a)           Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, any Act shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Note, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.  The record of any meeting of Holders of Notes shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1.05.
 
(b)           The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
 
(c)           The ownership of Registered Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar.
 
(d)           If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Registered Notes any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date.
 
(e)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Note Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such Act is made upon such Note.

(a)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing.  Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or the holding by any Person of a Note, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Article Twelve) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.05.

(c)           The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.
 
(d)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee, the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

(e)           The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, if applicable, set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, or to vote on any action authorized or permitted to be taken by Holders; provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this clause shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in Section 1.05(f) below.  Unless otherwise specified by the Company, if not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, any such record date shall be the later of 20 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or vote or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation or vote.  If any record date is set pursuant to this clause, the Holders on such record date, and only such Holders, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes, or each affected Holder, as applicable, in each case on such record date.  Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action to be taken by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 11.02.
 
(f)           The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to join in the giving or making of (1) any Notice of Default, (2) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 6.02, (3) any direction referred to in Section 6.05 or (4) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 6.08 and shall incur no liability whatsoever for the setting of such record date.  If any record date is set pursuant to this clause, the Holders on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes or each affected Holder, as applicable, in each case on such record date.  Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 11.02.
 
(g)           Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.  Any notice given or action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part.
 
(h)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including a Depositary that is the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depositary, that is the Holder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through such Depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices.
 
(i)           The Company may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note held by a Depositary entitled under the procedures of such Depositary, if any, to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders; provided that if such a record date is fixed, only the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date.  No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date.

(j)           With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.05, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 11.02 or in a press release, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date.  If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.05, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 120th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this clause.

ISSUE, DESCRIPTION, EXECUTION, REGISTRATION AND EXCHANGE OF NOTES
 
Section 2.01.                           Designation and Amount.  The Notes shall be designated as the “4.50% Senior Convertible Notes due 2019.”  The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is initially limited to $46,000,000 subject to Section 2.07 and except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Notes pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 2.04, Section 9.02 and Section 10.01 hereof.
 
Section 2.02.                           Form of Notes.  The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
 
Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends or endorsements as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required by the Depositary, as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, or to conform to usage or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.
 
A Global Note shall represent such principal amount of the Outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect repurchases, conversions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby.  Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with this Indenture.  Payment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest on a Global Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note on the date of payment, unless a Record Date or other means of determining Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.

The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto are incorporated herein and shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any note conflicts with the express provisions of this indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

The Person in whose name any Note is registered on the Note Register at the Close of Business on any Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the accrued and unpaid interest payable on such Interest Payment Date.  Interest shall be payable at the office of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee.  The Company shall pay interest (i) on any Notes in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Note Register (or upon written application by such Person to the Note Registrar not later than the relevant Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such Person’s account within the United States, if such Person is entitled to interest on an aggregate principal in excess of $2,000,000) or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.  The term “Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the May 1 or November 1 preceding the applicable May 15 or November 15 Interest Payment Date, respectively.
 
Section 2.04.                           Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, and Stolen Notes.
 
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefore a new Note of the same principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
 
If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, 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 actual notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
 
Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.
 
 
14

 
 
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
 
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note 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 Notes, if any, duly issued hereunder.
 
The provisions of this Section 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 Notes.
 
Registered Notes shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.
 
Section 2.05.                           Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
 
The Notes thereto shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, and attested by its Chief Financial Officer. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Notes.
 
Notes 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 Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.
 
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a company order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with the company order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes. In authenticating such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating:
 
 (a) that the form or forms and terms of such Notes have been duly authorized by the Company and established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and
 
(b) that such Notes when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or its authenticating agent and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any reasonable conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to customary exceptions.
 
Section 2.06.                           Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary.
 
(a)           Every Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) that bears, or is required under this Section 2.06 to bear, the Restricted Note Legend (together with any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes that bears, or is required under this Section 2.06 to bear, the Restricted Common Stock Legend, collectively, the “Restricted Notes”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.06 (including those set forth in the Restricted Note Legend and the Restricted Common Stock Legend, as applicable), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be waived by written consent of the Company following receipt of legal advice, satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion, supporting the permissibility of the waiver of such transfer restrictions, and the Holder of each such Note or shareholder of such Common Stock, as applicable, by such Holder’s or shareholder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.06, the term “transfer” means any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Note or any interest therein.
 
 
15

 
 
(b)           Until the date that is one year after the last date of the original issuance of the Notes or such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable laws (such applicable date, the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”):  (i) each certificate evidencing a Note shall bear the Restricted Note Legend and (ii) each certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes shall bear the Restricted Common Stock Legend; unless such Restricted Note has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or sold pursuant to Rule 144, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing as set forth above, with written notice thereof to the Trustee.
 
(c)           In connection with any transfer of the Notes prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the holder must complete and deliver the Form of Assignment and Transfer attached hereto as Exhibit D, with the appropriate box checked, to the Trustee (or any successor Trustee, as applicable).
 
(d)           Any Notes that are Outstanding following the Resale Restriction Termination Date and any Notes as to which the conditions for the removal of the Restricted Note Legend set forth thereon have been satisfied may, upon surrender of such Notes to the Note Registrar for exchange in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.06, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Restricted Note Legend. If such Note surrendered for exchange is represented by a Global Note bearing the Restricted Note Legend (the “Restricted Global Note”), then the principal amount of the Restricted Global Note shall be reduced by the appropriate principal amount and the principal amount of the Global Note without a Restricted Note Legend (the “Unrestricted Global Note”) shall be increased by an equal principal amount.  If the Unrestricted Global Note is not then Outstanding, the Company shall promptly execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Unrestricted Global Note to the Depositary.
 
(e)           The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this instrument or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by the terms of this instrument, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
 
(f)           So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary.  The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note, which does not involve the issuance of a definitive Note, shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

Section 2.07.                           Additional Notes; Repurchases.  The Company may, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, increase the principal amount of the Notes by issuing additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) in the future in an unlimited aggregate principal amount on the same terms and conditions, except for any differences in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of the Additional Notes and, at the option of the Company, the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Notes; provided that such differences do not cause the Additional Notes to constitute a different class of securities than the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided further, that the Additional Notes have the same CUSIP number as the Initial Notes; and provided further, however, that the Additional Notes may have a different CUSIP number on a temporary basis if necessary to comply with applicable U.S. securities laws.  The Notes and any Additional Notes shall rank equally and ratably and shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture including, without limitation, for purposes of any waivers, supplements or amendments to this Indenture requiring the approval of Holders of the Notes and any offers to purchase the Notes. Any Additional Notes will be issued pursuant to a supplement to this Indenture.  All provisions of this Indenture shall be construed and interpreted to permit the issuance of such Additional Notes and to allow such Additional Notes to become fungible and interchangeable with the Initial Notes issued under the Indenture.  No Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes and is continuing.
 
Section 2.08.                           No Sinking Fund.  No sinking fund is provided for the Notes and the notes will not be subject to defeasance.
 
Section 2.09.                           Ranking.  The Notes constitute a senior general unsecured obligation of the Company, ranking equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and ranking senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of the Company that is expressly made subordinate to the Notes by the terms of such indebtedness.

Section 5.02.                           Maintenance of Office or Agency for Conversion Agent.  If at any time the Conversion Agent is not the Trustee or an office or agency designated or appointed by the Trustee, the Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location of such Conversion Agent.  If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain an office or agency for the Conversion Agent, presentations, surrenders, notices and demands related to conversions of Notes may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York.
 
Section 5.03.                           Reports by Company; 144A Information.
 
(a)           For so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall file with the SEC the Company’s annual and quarterly reports, information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and will file such annual and quarterly reports, information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) with the Trustee, and make such information available through the mail or on the Company’s website, within 15 days of the date on which it would be required to file the same with the SEC (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act).  Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officers’ Certificates).  Any such report, information or document that the Company files with the SEC through the SEC’s EDGAR database shall be deemed delivered to the Trustee for purposes of this Section 5.03(a) at the time of such filing through the EDGAR database; provided however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine if such filing has taken place. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.03, the Company, to the extent permitted under the Trust Indenture Act, shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee or the Holders any material for which the Company has sought and received confidential treatment by the Commission.
 
(b)           The Company covenants and agrees that it shall, at any time it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, we will, so long as any Notes or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof will, at such time, constitute Restricted Notes, make available to the Trustee and will, upon written request, provide to any Holder or beneficial owner of Notes or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Notes the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Notes or shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
 
(c)           If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the last date of original issuance of the Notes (including the last date of original issuance of additional Notes pursuant to the exercise of the Initial Purchaser’s overallotment option pursuant to the Purchase Agreement), the Company fails to timely file any document or report that it 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 reports on Form 8-K), the Company shall pay additional interest on the Notes (“Additional Interest”).  Such Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during such period for which the Company’s failure to file has occurred and is continuing or for which such restrictions on transfer are applicable (ending on the Free Trade Date).
 
 
19

 
 
(d)           If, and for so long as, the Restrictive Notes Legend has not been removed from the Notes, the Notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP number or the Notes are not otherwise Freely Tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes) as of the 375th day after the last date of original issuance of the Notes (including the last date of original issuance of additional Notes pursuant to the exercise of the Initial Purchaser’s overallotment option pursuant to the Purchase Agreement), the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes.  Such Additional Interest will accrue on the Notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Notes outstanding until the Restrictive Notes Legend has been removed in accordance with Section 2.13, the Notes are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number and the Notes are Freely Tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes).
 
(e)           Additional Interest will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes.
 
(f)           The obligation of the Company to pay Additional Interest pursuant to Section 5.03(c) or Section 5.03(d) is separate and distinct from, and in addition to, the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Interest under Section 6.01; provided that, in no event will the rate of any Additional Interest payable under this Section 5.03, when taken together with that of Additional Interest payable as described in Section 6.01, exceed a total rate of 0.50% per annum.
 
(g)           If Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 5.03(c) or Section 5.03(d), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Additional Interest is payable.  Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Additional Interest is payable.  If the Company has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.  The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holders or persons to determine whether any Additional Interest is payable and the amount thereof.
 
(h)           If the Company is required to pay Additional Interest pursuant to this Section 5.03 the Company may elect to designate an effective shelf registration statement for the resale of the Notes.  For each day on which such shelf registration statement remains effective and usable by Holders for the resale of the Notes, notwithstanding Section 5.03(c) or Section 5.03(d), Additional Interest will not accrue under Section 5.03(c) or Section 5.03(d).  Any such registration will be effected on terms customary for the resale of convertible notes generally offered in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
 
Section 5.04.                           Portfolio Interest Exemption.  The Company agrees that payments of interest on a Note will be eligible for the “portfolio interest” exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provided that the beneficial owner of such Note provides the appropriate IRS Form W-8, and that the beneficial owner is not a 10-percent shareholder of the Company, a controlled foreign corporation to which the Company is related, or a bank extending credit to the Company in the ordinary course of its trade or business.

(a)           If an Event of Default discussed in clauses (a) through (f) of Section 6.01 with respect to Notes at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, or the Company fails to deliver the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal of all the Outstanding Notes and any accrued and unpaid cash interest through the date of such declaration to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or specified portion thereof shall become immediately due and payable.
 
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 
(i)           the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which the Notes are payable:

If an Event of Default described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.02 occurs and is continuing, then the principal of all the Outstanding Notes and any accrued interest through the occurrence of such Event of  default, shall become due and payable immediately, without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any other Holder

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes Outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, consent to the waiver of any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences, except:
 
 
i.
failure by the Company to pay principal of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes when due;

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 and the Notes; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
Section 6.04.                           Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or
 
(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of any Note at its Maturity Date, then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon any overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
 
If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Notes , wherever situated.
 
If an Event of Default with respect to Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

(i)           to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Notes, of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

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

Section 6.10.                           Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
 
If the Trustee or any Holder of a Note 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 the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, 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 has been instituted.

Section 6.12.                           Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
 
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note 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 any acquiescence therein.

ARTICLE VIII
 
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, LEASE OR CONVEYANCE
 
Section 8.01.                           Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets.
 
The Company will not, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person, or sell, convey, transfer or lease its property and assets substantially as an entirety to another Person, unless:
 
 
(1)
either (a) the Company shall be the continuing corporation or (b) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if other than the Company) shall be a corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, provided that any stock into which the Notes will be convertible will be the stock of an entity that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “Successor Company”), and such Successor Company shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental to the Indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee, and a supplemental agreement, all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture;
 
 
30

 
 
 
(2)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
 
 
(3)
if as a result of such transaction the Notes become convertible into common stock or other securities issued by a third party, such third party fully and unconditionally guarantees all obligations of the Company or the Successor Company, as the case may be, under the Notes and the Indenture; and
 
 
(4)
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and the assumption by any successor entity, complies with the provisions of this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.
 
 
31

 
 
Section 8.02.                           Succession.  In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the Successor Company, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes, the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon conversion of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company, such Successor Company (if not the Company) shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part.  Such Successor Company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Company instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose.  All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.  In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this ‎Article VIII the Person named as the “Company” on the cover of this Indenture (or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this ‎Article VIII) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.
 
ARTICLE IX
 
CONVERSION OF NOTES
 
Section 9.01.                           Conversion Privilege.
 
Upon compliance with the provisions of this Article IX, a Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note at any time prior to the Close of Business on the scheduled Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at a rate (the “Conversion Rate”) of 57.4300 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment by the Company as provided in Section 9.04) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Conversion Obligation”).
 
Section 9.02.                           Conversion Procedures.
 
(a)           Each Note shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent and, if applicable, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary.
 
 
32

 
 
(b)           In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any interest in a Global Note, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary’s book-entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Conversion Agent, pay all taxes or duties, if any, for which the Holder is responsible in respect of any transfer involved in the delivery of shares of securities in a name other than that of the Holder of the Note or Notes to be exchanged or converted, and the Conversion Agent must be informed of the conversion in accordance with the customary practice of the Depositary.  In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any certificated Notes, the Holder of any such Notes to be converted, in whole or in part, shall:
 
(i)           complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided on the back of the Note and attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Conversion Notice”) or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice;
 
(ii)           deliver the completed Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Note to the Conversion Agent;
 
(iii)           if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and
 
(iv)           if required, pay all taxes or duties which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the delivery of shares of securities in a name other than that of the Holder of the Note or Notes to be exchanged or converted.
 
The date on which the Holder satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth in this Section 9.02(b) is the “Conversion Date.”  The Conversion Agent will, as promptly as possible, and in any event within two (2) Business Days of the receipt thereof, provide the Company with notice of any conversion by a Holder of the Notes.
 
(c)           Each Conversion Notice shall state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be issued.  All such Notes surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Notes, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or his duly authorized attorney.
 
(d)           In case any Notes of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Notes so surrendered, without charge, new Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Notes.
 
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) surrendered for conversion immediately prior to the Close of Business on the relevant Conversion Date.  The person in whose name the certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon such conversion shall become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, in no event shall a Holder be entitled to the benefit of a Conversion Rate adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Article IX hereof in respect of Notes surrendered for conversion if, by virtue of being deemed the record holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion pursuant to the foregoing sentence, such Holder participates, as a result of being such holder of record, in the transaction or event that would otherwise give rise to such Conversion Rate adjustment to the same extent and in the same manner as holders of shares of Common Stock generally.
 
 
33

 
 
(e)           Upon the conversion of an interest in Global Notes, the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company) shall make a notation on such Global Notes as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
 
(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice exercising such Holder’s option to require the Company to purchase such Note may be converted only if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Article X hereof prior to the Close of Business on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
 
Section 9.03.                           Payments Upon Conversion.
 
(a)           Upon any conversion of any Notes, on the third Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes to be converted divided by $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect as of such Conversion Date, together with any cash payment for any fractional share of Common Stock as described in this Section 9.03.
 
(b)           [RESERVED]
 
(c)           Upon any conversion, any accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) will be paid by the Company in cash.  Holders of Notes on a Record Date for an interest payment who convert Notes prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date for such Notes will receive on the corresponding Interest Payment Date for such Notes the interest accrued and unpaid on such Notes.
 
(d)           The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes.  If multiple Notes shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered.  If any fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Notes, the Company shall make payment therefor in cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock based on the Last Reported Sale Price on the relevant Conversion Date.
 
Section 9.04.                           Adjustment of Conversion Rate.  The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
 
(a)           If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or effects a share split or share combination, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
 
 
where
 
 
34

 
 
 
CR¢
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the record date for such dividend or distribution or immediately after the Opening of Business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;
 
 
CR0
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the record date for such dividend or distribution or immediately prior to the Opening of Business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;
 
 
OS0
=
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination; and
 
 
OS¢
=
the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or combination, as the case may be.
 
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the record date for such dividend or distribution or  immediately after the Opening of Business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be.  If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 9.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not subdivided 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, subdivision or combination had not been declared.
 
(b)           In case the Company shall issue to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any rights or warrants (other than rights issued pursuant to a shareholders’ rights plan) entitling them for a period of not more than 45 days from the issuance date for such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of such distribution, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
 

 
where
 
 
CR¢
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the record date for such distribution;
 
 
CR0
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the record date for such distribution;
 
 
35

 
 
 
OS0
=
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution;
 
 
X
=
the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and
 
 
Y
=
the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution.
 
Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the record date for such distribution.  If such rights or warrants are not so exercised prior to their expiration, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.
 
In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, where the value of such consideration, if other than cash, shall be determined by the Board of Directors.
 
(c)           In case the Company shall distribute shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock (excluding dividends and distributions as to which an adjustment is required to be effected in Section 9.04(a) or Section 9.04(b), dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash, and distributions described below in this Section 9.04(c) with respect to Spin-Offs (as defined below)) (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other asset or property hereinafter in this Section 9.04(c) called the “Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
 

where
 
 
CR¢
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the record date for such distribution;
 
 
CR0
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the record date for such distribution;
 
 
36

 
 
 
SP0
=
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
 
 
FMV
=
the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof) of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the Opening of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
 
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the record date for shareholders entitled to receive such distribution; provided that (1) if the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Property so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is  equal to or greater than SP0 as set forth above or (2) if SP0 exceeds the fair market value of the Distributed Property by less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes upon conversion, the amount of Distributed Property such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Notes immediately prior to the record date for determining the shareholders of the Company entitled to receive the Distributed Property.  If such dividend or distribution is 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 9.04(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in determining SP0 above.
 
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company that are listed on a national or regional securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
 

where
 
 
CR¢
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the record date for the Spin-Off;
 
 
CR0
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the record date for the Spin-Off;
 
 
FMV
=
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or other similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and
 
 
37

 
 
 
MP0
=
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the Valuation Period.
 
Such adjustment shall occur immediately after the Opening of Business on the day after the last day of the Valuation Period but will be given effect as of the Opening of Business on the record date for the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the ten Trading Days following any Spin-Off, references within this Section 9.04(c) to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.
 
(d)           In case the Company shall pay any cash dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (other than dividends or distributions to which Section 9.06 applies), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
 

where
 
 
CR¢
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the record date for such dividend or distribution;
 
 
CR0
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the record date for such distribution;
 
 
SP0
=
the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
 
 
C
=
the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock.
 
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the Opening of Business on the record date for such dividend or distribution.
 
(e)           In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price 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, then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
 

where
 
 
38

 
 
 
CR¢
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Opening of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires;
 
 
CR0
=
the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the day such tender offer or exchange offer expires;
 
 
AC
=
the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
 
 
SP¢
=
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires (the “Averaging Period”);
 
 
OS¢
=
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Close of Business on the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and
 
 
OS0
=
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer).
 
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the Opening of Business on the day following the last day of the Averaging Period, but will be given effect as of the Opening of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion within the ten Trading Days following the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires, references within this Section 9.04(e) to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between such date and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.
 
(f)           For purposes of this Section 9.04 the term “record date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of shares of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the shares of 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 shareholders of the Company 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).
 
(g)           All calculations and other determinations under this Article IX shall be made by the Company in accordance with Section 11.14 hereof 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 Company’s issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the right to purchase Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 9.04.  No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment (taken together with any carried-forward adjustments) would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate then in effect at such time.  The Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate, take such carried-forward adjustments into account in any subsequent adjustment, and make such carried forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (i) annually on the anniversary of the first date of issue of the Notes and otherwise (ii)(1) upon conversion or (2) prior to any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, unless such adjustment has already been made.
 
 
39

 
 
(h)           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.  The Trustee and Conversion Agent may conclusively rely on the accuracy of the Conversion Rate adjustment provided by the Company.  Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect.  Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall issue a press release containing the relevant information and make the information available on the Company’s website or through another public medium as the Company may use at such time.
 
(i)           For purposes of this Section 9.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
 
Section 9.05.                           Shares to be Fully Paid.  Subject to Section 9.03(d), the Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, sufficient Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.
 
Section 9.06.                           Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
 
(a)           If the Company:
 
(i)           reclassifies or changes its Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination); or
 
(ii)           consolidates or merges with or into any person or sells, leases, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets and those of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person;
 
and in either case holders of Common Stock receive stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for their Common Stock (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then from and after the effective date of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, each Outstanding Note will, without the consent of Holders of the Notes, become convertible in accordance with the Indenture into the consideration the holders of Common Stock received in such Merger Event (such consideration, the “Reference Property”).  If the Merger Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), the Reference Property into which the Notes will become convertible will be deemed to be the kind and amount of consideration elected to be received by a majority of Common Stock which voted for such election (if electing between two types of consideration) or a plurality of Common Stock which voted for such an election (if electing between more than two types of consideration), as the case may be.  The Company shall not become a party to any such Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 9.06 in all material respects.
 
 
40

 
 
(b)           The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Notes maintained by the Note Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof.  Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.  The above provisions of this Section 9.06 shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.  If this Section 9.06 applies to any Merger Event involving a distribution of property that becomes Reference Property for the Notes, Section 9.04 shall not apply to such distribution.
 
(c)           Such supplemental indenture described in clause ‎(a) above shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this ‎Article IX.  If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in ‎Article X.
 
Section 9.07.                           Effect of a Non-Stock Change of Control.
 
If and only to the extent a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with a transaction described under clauses (a), (d) or (e) under the definition of a Fundamental Change (determined after giving effect to the exceptions to, and exclusions from, such definition, but without regard to the exception set forth in clause (d)(i) hereof) (a “Non-Stock Change of Control”), the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate as described below. The number of additional shares by which the conversion is increased (the “additional shares”) shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Non-Stock Change of Control becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid per share for the Common Stock in such Non-Stock Change of Control. If Holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such transaction, the price paid per share shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the price paid per share shall be the average of the last reported sale prices of the Common Stock on the five trading days prior to but not including the effective date of such Non-Stock Change of Control. The Company shall notify Holders of the anticipated effective date of any Fundamental Change at least 20 calendar days prior to such date.
 
A Conversion of the Notes by a Holder will be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Non-Stock Change of Control if the conversion notice is received by the Conversion Agent following the effective date of the Non-Stock Change of Control but before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Repurchase Date.
 
The number of additional shares shall be adjusted in the same manner as and as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted according to Section 9.04.  The stock prices set forth in the first row of the table below (i.e., the column headers) will be simultaneously adjusted to equal the stock prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the conversion rate immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which is the conversion rate as so adjusted.
 
 
41

 
 
The following table sets forth the number of additional shares by which the conversion rate shall be increased:

The exact stock price and Effective Dates may not be set forth on the table, in which case, if the stock price is:

 
between two stock price amounts on the table or the effective date is between two dates on the table, the number of additional shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 360-day year;

 
in excess of $75.00 per share (subject to adjustment), no additional shares will be issued upon conversion;

 
less than $13.93 per share (subject to adjustment), no additional shares will be issued upon conversion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion exceed 71.7875 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the conversion rate.

Additional shares deliverable as described in this Section 9.07 shall be delivered on the Settlement Date applicable to the relevant conversion.
 
Section 9.08.                           Intentionally Omitted.
 
Section 9.09.                           Shareholder Rights Plans.  To the extent that any future shareholders’ rights plan adopted by the Company is in effect upon conversion of the Notes into Common Stock, Holders shall receive, in addition to any Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights under the applicable rights agreement unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion of the Notes, in which case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of such separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of its Common Stock shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets as described in Section 9.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. If, and only if, the Holders receive rights under such shareholders’ rights plan as described in the preceding sentence upon conversion of their Notes, then no other adjustment pursuant to this Article IX shall be made in connection with such shareholders’ rights plan.

Repurchases of Notes under this Section 10.01 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 Note at any time prior 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and
 
(ii)           delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes 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 Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in the Borough of Manhattan, 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 10.01 only if the Note 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 Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

(B)           the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof;
 
(C)           that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and the Indenture; and

provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
 
Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.01 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 Note.
 
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 in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01(c).
 
Any Note that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (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 his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.
 
(b)           At any time following the Company entering into a definitive agreement that, if consummated, would give rise to a Fundamental Change, but in any event not later than the fifth (5th) calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of record of the Notes as of the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at their addresses shown in the Note Register (and to beneficial owners to the extent required by applicable law) and the Trustee and Paying Agent a written 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 Company’s 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;
 
 
44

 
 
(iii)           if such Fundamental Change Company Notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Fundamental Change pursuant to a definitive agreement giving rise to a Fundamental Change, that the offer is conditioned on the occurrence of such Fundamental Change;
 
(iv)           that the Holder must exercise the repurchase right prior to the Close of Business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
 
(v)           the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
 
(vi)           the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
 
(vii)           the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;
 
(viii)           the applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate;
 
(ix)           that the Notes 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 the terms of the Indenture; and
 
(x)           the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.
 
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 10.01.
 
(c)           A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Company Notice at any time prior to the 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:
 
(i)           the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;
 
(ii)           the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000; and
 
(iii)           if certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Notes; and
 
provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.  The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any certificated Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.01(c). If the Notes are not in certificated form, such return must comply with the appropriate procedures of the Depositary.  If a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is given and then subsequently withdrawn in accordance with this Section 10.01(c), then the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase any Notes listed in such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
 
 
45

 
 
(d)           On or prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time in The City of New York) on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust in accordance with the Indenture an amount of money or securities sufficient to repurchase as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all of the Notes to be repurchased as of such date at the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.  Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) prior to the Close of Business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date will be made promptly after the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in this Section 10.01), and (y) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by this Section 10.01 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register (in the case of certificated Notes) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee (if the Notes are not in certificated form).  The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
 
(e)           If the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money or securities sufficient to repurchase as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then on and after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (i) such Notes will cease to be Outstanding, (ii) interest (including Additional Interest, if any) will cease to accrue on such Notes, whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon delivery or transfer of such Notes and accrued interest (including Additional Interest), if applicable.
 
Section 10.02.                           No Payment Following Acceleration of the Notes.
 
There shall be no purchase of any Notes pursuant to this Article X if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any certificated Notes held by it following acceleration of the Notes and shall deem canceled any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in which case, upon such return and cancellation, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
 
Section 10.03.                           Compliance with Tender Offer Rules.
 
In connection with any offer to purchase Notes under Section 10.01 hereof, the Company shall, in each case if required, (a) comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable, (b) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act and (c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 10.01 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 10.01.

The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Authenticating Agent or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Authenticating Agent or such other agent.
 
Section 12.05.                           Money Held in Trust.
 
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, or investment of, any money received by it hereunder.
 
Section 12.06.                           Compensation and Reimbursement.
 
The Company agrees:
 
(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder, including extraordinary services rendered in connection with or during the continuation of a default hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
 
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including costs for collection and the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents, accountants, experts and counsel), except to the extent any such expense, disbursement or advance may be attributable to its gross negligence or bad faith; and
 
(3) to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and each of their respective directors, officers, agents and employees for, and to hold each of them harmless against, any loss, damage, claim, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses), arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with the provisions of this Section, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its own gross negligence or bad faith.
 
 
52

 
 
 The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnification.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.  The Company shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense.  The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the defense of the Trustee and representation of both parties by the same counsel would not be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
 
As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of or interest on particular Notes.
 
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.02(h) or (i), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.
 
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
 
Section 12.07.                           Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; Conflicting Interests.
 
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a) (1) and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or is a subsidiary of a corporation which shall be a Person that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and which unconditionally guarantees the obligations of the Trustee hereunder. If such Trustee or Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Trustee or 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, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.
 
Section 12.08.                           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 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 12.09.
 
(b)           The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Notes 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 for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
 
 
53

 
 
(c)           In case at any time any of the following shall occur:
 
(i)           the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Note who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or
 
(ii)           the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 12.07 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Note who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or
 
(iii)           the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or 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, (i) the Company by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all Notes, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a Note who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Notes and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.
 
(d)           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 with respect to the Notes, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Notes (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Notes and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Notes). If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes 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 with respect to the Notes and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Notes shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Notes and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a Note who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note 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 with respect to Notes.
 
(e)           The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Notes and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Notes and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
 
Section 12.09.                           Acceptance of Appointment By Successor.
 
(a)           In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Notes, every such successor Trustee 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 any amounts due and owing to it, its agents or counsel hereunder, 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, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 12.06.
 
 
54

 
 
(b)           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 referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.
 
(c)           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.
 
Section 12.10.                           Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
 
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with 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 of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes 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 Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. In case any Notes shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Notes, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee.
 
Section 12.11.                           Appointment of Authenticating Agent.
 
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes.  An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights as a Paying Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its [•]% Senior Convertible Notes due 2019 (herein called the “Notes”), issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of April [•], 2014 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (herein called 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 Notes.  Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.
 
In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of and interest on all Notes may be declared, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note.  The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
 
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall make any of the changes set forth in Section 7.02 of the Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Note affected thereby.  It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Notes, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences except as provided in the Indenture.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.
