Issue, Description, Execution, Registration

Section 2.01 Designation Amount and Issue of Debentures. The Debentures shall be designated as “Senior Convertible Debentures due 2034”. Debentures not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000 (except pursuant to Section 2.05 and Section 2.06 hereof) upon the execution of this Indenture, or from time to time thereafter, may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Debentures to or upon the written order of the Company, signed by its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief Operating Officer or any Vice President (whether or not designated by a number or numbers or word or words added before or after the title “Vice President”), without any further action by the Company hereunder.

Section 2.02 Form of Debentures. The Debentures, the Guarantees and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Debentures shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Debenture attached as Exhibit A hereto 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.

Any of the Debentures may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required by the Custodian, the Depositary or by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. in order for the Debentures to be tradable on The Portal Market or as may be required for the Debentures to be tradable on any other market developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Debentures may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Debentures are subject.

So long as the Debentures are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, or otherwise contemplated by Section 2.05(a), all of the Debentures will be represented by one or more Debentures in global form registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary (a “Global Debenture”). The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Debenture shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Except as provided in Section 2.05(a), beneficial holders of a Global Debenture will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered holders of such Global Debenture.

Any Global Debenture shall represent such of the outstanding Debentures as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Debentures from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Debentures represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect redemptions, repurchases, conversions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Debenture to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Debentures 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 Debentures in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal of and Interest on any Global Debenture shall be made to the holder of such Debenture.

Section 2.03 Date and Denomination of Debentures; Payments of Interest. The Debentures shall be issuable in fully registered form without interest coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Each Debenture shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest at the rate, and from and until the dates, specified on the face of the form of Debenture attached as Exhibit A hereto. Interest on the Debentures shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

The Person in whose name any Debenture (or its Predecessor Debenture) is registered on the Debenture Register at the close of business on the Regular Record Date with respect to an Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the Interest payable

on such Interest Payment Date, except that the Interest payable upon redemption or repurchase will be payable to the Person to whom principal is payable pursuant to such redemption or repurchase (unless the Redemption Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, is an Interest Payment Date, in which case the semi-annual payment of interest becoming due on such date, if any, shall be payable to the holders of such Debentures registered as such on the applicable Regular Record Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Debenture (or portion thereof) is converted into Common Stock during the period after a Regular Record Date to, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date and such Debenture (or portion thereof) has been called or tendered for redemption on a Redemption Date which occurs during such period, the Company shall not be required to pay interest on such Interest Payment Date in respect of any such Debenture (or portion thereof), except as provided in Section 14.02. Interest shall be payable at the office of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Company shall pay Interest (i) on any Debentures in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Debenture Register (or upon written notice, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, if such Person is entitled to Interest on Debentures with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $2,000,000) or (ii) on any Global Debenture by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

Any Interest on any Debenture which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Debentureholder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of his having been such Debentureholder, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Debentures (or their respective Predecessor Debentures) are registered at the close of business on a “Special Record Date” for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be the date fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Debenture and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than twenty-five (25) days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted

Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each holder at his address as it appears in the Debenture Register, not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Debentures (or their respective Predecessor Debentures) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2) of this Section 2.03.

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Debentures may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.04 Execution of Debentures. The Debentures shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer or any Vice President (whether or not designated by a number or numbers or word or words added before or after the title “Vice President”). Only such Debentures as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Debenture attached as Exhibit A hereto, manually executed by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.13), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Debenture executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Debenture so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Debentures shall cease to be such officer before the Debentures so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Debentures nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Debentures had not ceased to be such officer of the Company, and any Debenture may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debenture, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer

Section 2.05 Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Debentures; Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Debenture Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may

prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Debentures and of transfers of Debentures. The Debenture Register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonably prompt period of time. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Debenture Registrar” for the purpose of registering Debentures and transfers of Debentures as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars in accordance with Section 4.02.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Debenture to the Debenture Registrar or any co-registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Debentures of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

Debentures may be exchanged for other Debentures of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Debentures to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Debentures are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Debentures which the Debentureholder making the exchange is entitled to receive bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

All Debentures issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Debentures shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Debentures surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

All Debentures presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company or the Debenture Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Debentureholder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made to any holder for any registration, transfer or exchange of Debentures, but the Company may require payment by the holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Debentures.

Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Debenture Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Debentures for a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any selection of Debentures to be redeemed, (b) any Debentures or portions thereof called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.01 (c) any Debentures or portions thereof surrendered for conversion pursuant to Article 14, (d) any Debentures or portions thereof tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) pursuant to Section 3.05 or (e) any Debentures or portions thereof tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) pursuant to Section 3.06.

(b) The following provisions shall apply only to Global Debentures:

(i) Each Global Debenture authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or Custodian therefor, and each such Global Debenture shall constitute a single Debenture for all purposes of this Indenture.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Debenture may be exchanged in whole or in part for Debentures registered, and no transfer of a Global Debenture in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (A) the Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Debenture and a successor depositary has not been appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (C) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in writing that it no longer wishes to have all the Debentures represented by Global Debentures or (D) any beneficial holder reasonably requests such exchange on terms acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and the Depositary, which in the case of the Trustee may include, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, among other things, the requirement that (i) the Trustee and any Debenture Registrar receive (a) from the Company or the Depositary, a written order, in either case requesting such exchange, and an Opinion of Counsel (which upon receipt thereof the Trustee and such Debenture Registrar shall be fully protected in relying) to the effect that (x) all securities laws in connection with such exchange have been complied with and (y) such exchange is otherwise authorized or permitted by this Indenture; and (b) from such beneficial holder (x) an affidavit as to its beneficial ownership interest in such Global Debenture and/or (y) an indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and such Debenture Registrar, against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee and such Debenture Registrar to the extent that the Trustee or Debenture Registrar acts upon such order, affidavit and/or indemnity; and (ii) such exchange can be accomplished in a manner that is practicable and not inconsistent with the rules of any applicable Depositary or securities exchange upon which the Debentures may be listed for trading. Any Global Debenture exchanged pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part and any Global Debenture exchanged pursuant to clause (C) or (D) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Company. Any Debenture issued in exchange for a Global Debenture or any portion thereof shall be a Global Debenture; provided that any such Debenture so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Debenture.

(iii) Debentures issued in exchange for a Global Debenture or any portion thereof pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Debenture or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any Global Debenture to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Debenture Registrar.

With regard to any Global Debenture to be exchanged in part, either such Global Debenture shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as Custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Debenture, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery the Debenture issuable on such exchange to or upon the written order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(iv) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (ii) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Debentures in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(v) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Debenture registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Debenture for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial holder of any Debenture.

(vi) At such time as all interests in a Global Debenture have been redeemed, repurchased, converted, canceled or exchanged for Debentures in certificated form, such Global Debenture shall, upon receipt thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Debenture is redeemed, repurchased, converted, canceled or exchanged for Debentures in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Debenture shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Debenture, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

(c) Every Debenture that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(c) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (together with any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Debentures and required to bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(d), collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (including those set forth in the legend below) unless such restrictions on transfer shall be waived by written consent of the Company, and the holder of each such Restricted Security, by such holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in Section 2.05(c) and Section

2.05(d), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security or any interest therein.

Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), any certificate evidencing such Debenture (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion thereof, which shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(d), if applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless such Debenture 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 pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar provision then in force, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee:

THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, (THE ''SECURITIES ACT’’), AND THIS SECURITY AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION THEREOF MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER.

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF CAPITALSOURCE INC. THAT (A) PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES OF THE SECURITY UNDER RULE 144(K) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION), THIS SECURITY AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION THEREOF MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) TO CAPITALSOURCE INC. OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF (II) TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (III) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE) OR (IV) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (A)(IV) ABOVE OR UPON ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY UNDER RULE 144(K) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION). THE

INDENTURE CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE TRUSTEE TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING RESTRICTION. IN ADDITION, THE HOLDER HEREOF WILL NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ENGAGE IN ANY HEDGING TRANSACTIONS WITH REGARD TO THIS SECURITY OR THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION).

Any Debenture (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to conditions for removal of the foregoing legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of such Debenture for exchange to the Debenture Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new Debenture or Debentures, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(c). If the Restricted Security surrendered for exchange is represented by a Global Debenture bearing the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(c), the principal amount of the legended Global Debenture shall be reduced by the appropriate principal amount and the principal amount of a Global Debenture without the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(c) shall be increased by an equal principal amount. If a Global Debenture without the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(c) is not then outstanding, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver an unlegended Global Debenture to the Depositary.

(d) Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Debenture shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless such Common Stock 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 pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar provision then in force, or such Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of Debentures that have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar provision then in force, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing with written notice thereof to the transfer agent:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ''SECURITIES ACT’’), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (“RULE 144A”)); (2) AGREES ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ANY

INVESTOR ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT HAS PURCHASED SECURITIES, TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY, PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES OF THIS SECURITY UNDER RULE 144(k) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION), ONLY (A) TO CAPITALSOURCE INC. (THE “ISSUER”), (B) 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), (C) FOR SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A OR (D) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE ISSUER’S AND THE TRUSTEE’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (D) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM; AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 2(B) ABOVE OR UPON ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY UNDER RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION).

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY IS ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED MARCH 19, 2004 AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY AND TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT.

Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for removal of the foregoing legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(d).

(e) Any Debenture or Common Stock issued upon the conversion of a Debenture that, prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), is purchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the Company or such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction which results in such

Debentures or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being “restricted securities” (as defined under Rule 144).

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Debenture (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial holders of interests in any Global Debenture) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debentures. In case any Debenture shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, a new Debenture, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Debenture so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case, the applicant for a substituted Debenture shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of the ownership thereof.

Following receipt by the Trustee or such authenticating agent, as the case may be, of satisfactory security or indemnity and evidence, as described in the preceding paragraph, the Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Debenture and make available for delivery such Debenture. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debenture, the Company may require the payment by the holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Debenture which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption or has been tendered for repurchase upon a Fundamental Change (and not withdrawn) or has been surrendered for repurchase on a Repurchase Date (and not withdrawn) or is to be converted into Common Stock shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Debenture, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debenture), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or in connection with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Debenture issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Debenture is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debentures duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Debentures shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion or redemption or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debentures and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion or redemption or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.07 Temporary Debentures. Pending the preparation of Debentures in certificated form, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Debentures (printed or lithographed). Temporary Debentures shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Debentures in certificated form, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debentures, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Debenture shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Debentures in certificated form. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Debentures in certificated form and thereupon any or all temporary Debentures may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Debentures an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures in certificated form. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debentures shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Debentures in certificated form authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08 Cancellation of Debentures. All Debentures surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, repurchase, conversion, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent or any Debenture Registrar or any Conversion Agent, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it, and no Debentures shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of such canceled Debentures in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Company shall acquire any of the Debentures, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption, repurchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Debentures unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.09 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Debentures may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers and/or similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Debentureholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Debentures or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Debentures, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” and/or similar numbers.

Section 2.10 Ranking.

(a) For purposes of this Section 2.10 only, “Indebtedness” means, without duplication, the principal or face amount of (i) all obligations for borrowed money, (ii) all obligations evidenced by debentures, notes or other similar instruments, (iii) all obligations in respect of letters of credit or bankers acceptances or similar instruments (or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto), (iv) all obligations to pay the deferred purchase price of property or services, (v) all obligations as lessee which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (vi) all Indebtedness of others guaranteed by the Company or for which the Company is legally responsible or liable (whether by agreement to purchase indebtedness of, or to supply funds or to invest in, others).

(b) The Indebtedness of the Company arising under or in connection with this Indenture and every outstanding Debenture issued under this Indenture from time to time constitutes and will constitute a senior unsecured general obligation of the Company, ranking equally with any existing and other future senior unsecured 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 Debentures by the terms of such Indebtedness.

Article 3
Redemption and Repurchase of Debentures

Section 3.01 Company’s Right to Redeem. Prior to March 15, 2009, the Debentures will not be redeemable at the Company’s option. At any time on or after March 15, 2009 and prior to Stated Maturity, the Company, at its option, may redeem the Debentures, in whole or in part, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02 and Section 3.03 on the Redemption Date (as defined below) for a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be redeemed together with accrued and unpaid Interest on the Debentures redeemed to but excluding the Redemption Date.

If the Redemption Date is an Interest Payment Date, Interest shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the record holder on the relevant Record Date.

Section 3.02 Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Debentures.

(a) In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Debentures pursuant to Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (the “Redemption Date”) and it or, at the written request of the Company received by the Trustee not fewer than thirty (30) days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the Redemption Date, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such redemption (a “Redemption Notice”) not fewer than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date to each holder of Debentures to be redeemed at its last address as the same appears on the Debenture Register; provided that if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Debenture designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debenture.

(b) Each such Redemption Notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed, the CUSIP, ISIN or similar number or numbers of the Debentures being redeemed, the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day), the Redemption Price at which Debentures are to be redeemed, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debentures, that Interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date Interest thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. Such notice shall also state the current Conversion Rate and the date on which the right to convert such Debentures or portions thereof into Common Stock will expire. If fewer than all the Debentures are to be redeemed, the Redemption Notice shall identify the Debentures to be redeemed (including CUSIP, ISIN or similar numbers, if any). In case any Debenture is to be redeemed in part only, the Redemption Notice shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Debenture, a new Debenture or Debentures in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

(c) On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice given as provided in this Section 3.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Debentures (or portions thereof) so called for redemption (other than those theretofore surrendered for conversion into Common Stock) at the appropriate Redemption Price; provided that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date it must be received by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02(c) in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price and accrued Interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 7.05, if any Debenture called for redemption is converted pursuant hereto prior to such Redemption Date, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Debenture shall be paid to the Company upon its written request, or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. Whenever any Debentures are to be redeemed, the Company will give the Trustee written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate not fewer than forty-five (45) days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date as to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed.

(d) If less than all of the outstanding Debentures are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Debentures or portions thereof of the Global Debenture or the Debentures in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. If any Debenture selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of such Debenture submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be from the portion selected for redemption. The Debentures (or portions thereof) so selected shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof, notwithstanding that any such Debenture is submitted for conversion in part before the mailing of the Redemption Notice.

Upon any redemption of less than all of the outstanding Debentures, the Company and the Trustee may (but need not), solely for purposes of determining the pro rata allocation among such Debentures as are unconverted and outstanding at the time of redemption, treat as outstanding any Debentures surrendered for conversion during the period of fifteen (15) days next preceding the mailing of a Redemption Notice and may (but need not) treat as outstanding any Debenture authenticated and delivered during such period in exchange for the unconverted portion of any Debenture converted in part during such period.

Section 3.03 Payment of Debentures Called for Redemption by the Company. If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02, the Debentures or portion of Debentures with respect to which such notice has been given shall, unless converted into Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and on and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Debentures at the Redemption Price) Interest on the Debentures or portion of Debentures so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and, after the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Debentures at the Redemption Price) such Debentures shall cease to be convertible into Common Stock and, except as provided in Section 7.05, to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Debentures except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Debentures at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Debentures or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price; provided that if the applicable Redemption Date is an Interest Payment Date, the Interest

payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the holders of record of such Debentures on the applicable Record Date instead of the holders surrendering such Debentures for redemption on such date.

Upon presentation of any Debenture redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture or Debentures, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debentures so presented.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not redeem any Debentures or mail any Redemption Notice during the continuance of a default in payment of Interest on the Debentures. If any Debenture called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, continue to bear interest at the rate borne by the Debenture, if any, compounded semi-annually, and such Debenture shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the principal and Interest shall have been paid or duly provided for. The Company will notify all of the holders if the Company redeems any of the Debentures.

Section 3.04 Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption. In connection with any redemption of Debentures, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Debentures called for redemption by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Debentures by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Debentureholders, on or prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, an amount that, together with any amounts deposited with the Trustee by the Company for the redemption of such Debentures, is not less than the Redemption Price of such Debentures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 3, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of such Debentures shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, any Debentures not duly surrendered for conversion by the Debentureholders thereof may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such Debentureholders and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 14) surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. The Trustee shall hold and pay to the Debentureholders whose Debentures are selected for redemption any such amount paid to it for purchase and conversion in the same manner as it would moneys deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Debentures. Without the Trustee’s prior written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Debentures shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee as set forth in this Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with any such arrangement for the purchase and conversion of any Debentures between the Company and such purchasers, including the costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in the defense of any claim or liability arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its

powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Indenture, except in the case of the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 3.05 Repurchase of Debentures by the Company at Option of Holders upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) If a Fundamental Change shall occur at any time prior to Stated Maturity, each holder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase any or all of such holder’s Debentures, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the date specified in the Fundamental Change Company Notice, which date shall be no more than thirty (30) Business Days after the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (subject to extension to comply with applicable law) (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”). The Company shall repurchase such Debentures at a price (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid Interest to but excluding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

(b) On or before the thirtieth (30^th) day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company, or at its written request the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company (which request must be received by the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date the Trustee is requested to give notice as described below, unless the Trustee shall agree to a shorter period), shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, to all holders of record on such date a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the holders arising as a result thereof to each holder of Debentures at its last address as the same appears on the Debenture Register; provided that if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the Fundamental Change to the Trustee and Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, at such time as it is mailed to Debentureholders. Such notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall state, among other things:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii) the last date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase right;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, excluding accrued and unpaid Interest, the applicable Conversion Rate at the time of such notice (and any applicable adjustments to the Conversion Rate) and, to the extent known at the time of such notice, the amount of Interest that will be payable with respect to the Debentures on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(v) whether the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock;

(vi) if shares of Common Stock will be used to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price:

(A) the method for valuing the shares of Common Stock to be delivered in connection with the repurchase; and

(B) that Debentureholders will bear the market risk with respect to the value of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered from the date the number of shares is determined;

(vii) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(viii) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

(ix) that Debentures as to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given by the holder may be converted only if the election has been withdrawn by the holder in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that the Debentures are otherwise convertible in accordance with Section 14.01;

(x) that the holder shall have the right to withdraw any Debentures surrendered prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or any such later time as may be required by applicable law);

(xi) a description of the procedures which a Debentureholder must follow to exercise such repurchase right or to withdraw any surrendered Debentures;

(xii) the CUSIP, ISIN or similar number or numbers of the Debentures (if then generally in use); and

(xiii) briefly, the conversion rights of the Debentures and whether, at the time of such notice, the Debentures are eligible for conversion.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Debentureholders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Debentures pursuant to this Section 3.05.

(i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a holder of a duly completed notice (a “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Debenture at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (subject to extension to comply with applicable law) stating:

(A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of the Debentures which the holder shall deliver to be repurchased;

(B) the portion of the principal amount of the Debentures that the holder shall deliver to be repurchased, which portion must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

(C) that such Debentures shall be repurchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Debentures and in the Indenture; and

(ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Debentures to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) simultaneously with or 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 or transfer 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 3.05 only if the Debentures so delivered or transferred 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. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Debenture for repurchase shall be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error.

If the Debentures are not in certificated form, holders must provide notice of their election in accordance with the appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

(d) The Debentures to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be paid for in cash; provided that upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change that does not result in a Termination of Trading, the Debentures to be repurchased may be paid for, at the election of the Company, in cash or Common Stock, subject to the conditions set forth in clause (e) of this Section 3.05.

(e) If the Company elects to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be paid will equal the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price by (ii) 98% of the average Last Reported Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the second Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, appropriately adjusted to take into account the occurrence, during the period commencing on the first Trading Day during the five Trading Day period and ending on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, of any event described in Section 14.06, subject to the next succeeding paragraph. The Company shall designate, in the Fundamental Change Company Notice delivered pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 3.05, whether it will repurchase the Debentures for cash or shares of Common Stock; provided that the Company will pay cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock. For purposes of determining the existence of potential fractional interests, all Debentures subject to repurchase by the Company held by a Holder shall be considered together (no matter how many separate certificates are to be presented). The Company may not change its election with respect to the consideration to be paid once the Company has given its Fundamental Change

Company Notice to holders except as set forth below in the event of a failure to satisfy, prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, any condition to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in shares of Common Stock.

The Company shall, at least three Business Days prior to delivering the Fundamental Change Company Notice, deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee specifying:

(i) the manner of payment selected by the Company, and

(ii) if the Company elects to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in shares of Common Stock, that the conditions to such manner of payment set forth in this clause (e) have been or will be complied with.

The Company’s right to exercise its election to repurchase Debentures through the issuance of shares of Common Stock shall be conditioned upon:

(i) the Company’s giving a timely Fundamental Change Company Notice containing an election to purchase all or a specified percentage of the Debentures with shares of Common Stock as provided herein;

(ii) the registration of such shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act and, if required, the Exchange Act;

(iii) the listing of such shares of Common Stock on a United States national securities exchange or the quotation of such shares of Common Stock in an inter-dealer quotation system of any registered United States national securities association, in each case, if the Common Stock is then listed on a national securities exchange or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system;

(iv) any necessary qualification or registration of such shares of Common Stock under applicable state securities laws or the availability of an exemption from such qualification and registration; and

(v) the receipt by the Trustee of an (i) Officers’ Certificate stating that the terms of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock are in conformity with this Indenture, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of the Debentures have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of the Debentures, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (iii) an Officers’ Certificate, stating that the conditions to the issuance of the shares of Common Stock have been satisfied.

Such Officers’ Certificate shall also set forth the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures and the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on each Trading Day during the period

commencing on the fifth Trading Day immediately preceding but ending on the second Business Day prior to the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the Company has elected to repurchase the Debentures through the issuance of shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay the entire Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Debentures in cash.

Promptly after determination of the actual number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon repurchase of Debentures, the Company shall be required to disseminate a press release through Dow Jones & Company, Inc. or Bloomberg Business News containing this information or publish the information on the Company’s web site or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

All shares of Common Stock delivered upon repurchase of the Debentures shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

If a holder of a repurchased Debenture is paid in shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on such issue of Common Stock. However, the holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the holder requests the Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name. The Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the Company) may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the holder’s name until the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the Company) receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any income tax withholding required by law or regulations.

Section 3.06 Repurchase of Debentures by the Company at Option of Holders on Specified Dates. On each of March 15, 2009, March 15, 2014, March 15, 2019, March 15, 2024 and March 15, 2029 (each, a “Company Repurchase Date”), each holder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such holder’s Debentures, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000. The Company shall repurchase such Debentures at a price (the “Company Repurchase Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid Interest to but excluding the Company Repurchase Date.

(a) On or before the twentieth (20^th) Business Day prior to each Company Repurchase Date, the Company, or at its written request the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company (which request must be received by the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date the Trustee is requested to give notice as described below, unless the Trustee shall agree to a shorter period), shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, to all holders of record on such date a notice (the “Company Repurchase Notice”) at its last address as the same appears on the Debenture Register, and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law; provided that if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice to the Trustee and Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, at such time as it is mailed to Debentureholders. Such notice, if

mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. Each Company Repurchase Notice shall state, among other things:

(i) the Company Repurchase Price, excluding accrued and unpaid Interest, the applicable Conversion Rate at the time of such notice (and any applicable adjustments to the Conversion Rate) and, to the extent known at the time of such notice, the amount of Interest that will be payable with respect to the Debentures on the Company Repurchase Date;

(ii) the Company Repurchase Date;

(iii) the last date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase right;

(iv) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

(v) that Debentures as to which a Company Repurchase Election has been given by the holder may be converted only if the election has been withdrawn by the holder in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that the Debentures are otherwise convertible in accordance with Section 14.01;

(vi) that the holder shall have the right to withdraw any Debentures surrendered prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Company Repurchase Date (or any such later time as may be required by applicable law);

(vii) a description of the procedures which a Debentureholder must follow to exercise such repurchase right or to withdraw any surrendered Debentures;

(viii) the CUSIP, ISIN or similar number or numbers of the Debentures (if then generally in use); and

(ix) briefly, the conversion rights of the Debentures and whether, at the time of such notice, the Debentures are eligible for conversion.

(b) Debentures shall be repurchased pursuant to this Section 3.06 at the option of the holder upon:

(i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a holder of a duly completed notice (a “Company Repurchase Election”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Debenture at any time from the opening of business on the twentieth (20^th) Business Day preceding the Company Repurchase Date until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Company Repurchase Date stating:

(A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of the Debentures which the holder shall deliver to be repurchased;

Section 3.08 Conditions and Procedures for Repurchase at Option of Holders.

(a) The Company shall repurchase from the holder thereof, pursuant to Section 3.05 or Section 3.06, a portion of a Debenture, if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a Debenture also apply to the repurchase of such portion of such Debenture. Upon presentation of any Debenture repurchased in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture or Debentures, of any authorized denomination, in aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of the Debentures presented not repurchased.

(b) On or prior to a Repurchase Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) an amount of money or Common Stock, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to repurchase on the Repurchase Date all the Debentures or portions thereof to be repurchased on such date at the Repurchase Price; provided that if such deposit is made on the Repurchase Date it must be received by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.

If the Trustee or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, if it or such Affiliate is acting as the Paying Agent, holds money or Common Stock, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay the aggregate Repurchase Price of all the Debentures or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on the Repurchase Date, then, on and after the Business Day following such date (i) such Debentures will cease to be outstanding, (ii) Interest on such Debentures will cease to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Debentures has been made or the Debentures have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (iii) all other rights of the holders of such Debentures will terminate (other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price upon transfer or delivery of the Debentures).

(c) Upon receipt by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) of a Repurchase Election, the holder of the Debenture in respect of which such Repurchase Election was given shall (unless such notice is validly withdrawn) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Repurchase Price with respect to such Debenture. Such Repurchase Price shall be paid to such holder, subject to receipt of funds and/or Debentures by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days) following the later of (x) the Repurchase Date with respect to such Debenture (provided the holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 3.05(c) or Section 3.06(b), as applicable) and (y) the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of such Debenture to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.06(a) or Section 3.06(b), as applicable. Debentures in respect of which a Repurchase Election has been given by the holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 14 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Repurchase Election unless such notice has first been validly withdrawn.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any holder delivering to the office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) a Repurchase Election shall have the right to withdraw such election, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Repurchase Date (or any such later time as may be required by applicable law) by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) specifying:

(i) the principal amount of the Debenture with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted,

(ii) the certificate number, if any, of the Debenture in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, or the appropriate Depositary information if the Debenture in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted is represented by a Global Debenture, and

(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Debenture which remains subject to the original Repurchase Election and which has been or will be delivered for repurchase by the Company.

If the Debentures are not in certificated form, holders must provide notice of their withdrawal in accordance with the appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Repurchase Election or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

If a Repurchase Election is given and then withdrawn pursuant to this Section 3.08(d) the Company shall have no obligation to purchase the Debentures listed in such Repurchase Election.

(e) The Company will comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act to the extent then applicable in connection with the repurchase rights of the holders of Debentures in the event of a Fundamental Change or on any Company Repurchase Date. If then required by applicable rules, the Company will file a Schedule TO or any other schedule required in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase Debentures.

(f) There shall be no repurchase of any Debentures pursuant to Section 3.05 or Section 3.06 if there has occurred at any time prior to, and is continuing on, the Repurchase Date an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default that is cured by the payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to such Debentures). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective holders thereof any Debentures (x) with respect to which a Repurchase Election has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to such Debentures) in which case, upon such return, the Repurchase Election with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

(g) The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall return to the Company any cash that remains unclaimed as provided in Section 12.03, together with interest, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Repurchase Price; provided that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.08(b) exceeds the aggregate Repurchase Price of the Debentures or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Repurchase Date then, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Company, promptly after the Business Day following the Repurchase Date, the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest, if any, thereon.

(h) In the case of a reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 14.07 applies, in which the Common Stock of the Company is changed or exchanged as a result into the right to receive cash, securities or other property, which includes shares of Common Stock of the Company or shares of common stock of another Person that are, or upon issuance will be, traded on a United States national securities exchange or approved for trading on an established automated over-the-counter trading market in the United States and such shares constitute at the time such change or exchange becomes effective in excess of 50%

of the aggregate fair market value of such cash, securities or other property (as determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive and binding), then the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture (accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture complies with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) modifying the provisions of this Indenture relating to the right of holders of the Debentures to cause the Company to repurchase the Debentures following a Fundamental Change, including without limitation the applicable provisions of this Article 3 and the definition of Fundamental Change, as appropriate, as determined in good faith by the Company (which determination shall be conclusive and binding), to make such provisions apply to such other Person if different from the Company (in lieu of the Company).

(i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or Interest on the Debentures (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Debentures) in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Debentures;

(ii) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Debentures) to make any payment of the principal of or Interest on the Debentures when the same shall be due and payable; and

The Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal of or Interest on the Debentures, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum (in funds which are immediately available on the due date for such payment) sufficient to pay such principal or Interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action; provided that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit shall be received by the Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.

(b) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or Interest on the Debentures, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Debentures a sum sufficient to pay such principal or Interest so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor under the Debentures) to make any payment of the principal of or Interest on the Debentures when the same shall become due and payable.

(c) Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this

Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 4.04, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment by the Company or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Company or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

Upon the request of any holder or any beneficial holder of the Debentures or such Common Stock, the Company will deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Section 4.07 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company and each Guarantor covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company or any Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of or Interest on the Debentures as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture and the

Company and each Guarantor (to the extent they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 4.08 Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (which fiscal year of the Company is presently the twelve calendar months ending December 31), a certificate signed by either the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signer thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and the status thereof of which the signer may have knowledge.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware of (i) any default in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, or (ii) any Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying with particularity such default or Event of Default and further stating what action the Company has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

In case one or more of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”) (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) default in the payment of the principal of any of the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable either at Stated Maturity or otherwise; or

(g) the assertion in writing by any Guarantor or by the Company that a Guarantee is not, in full force and effect; or

(h) failure on the part of the Company or any Guarantor duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company or such Guarantor in the Debentures or in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 6.01 specifically dealt with) continued for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the Company or such Guarantor to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Company or any Guarantor by the Trustee, or to the Company or any Guarantor and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee by the holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04; or

(i) default with respect to the Company’s or any of its Significant Subsidiaries’ indebtedness having a principal amount then outstanding, individually or in the aggregate, of at least $25.0 million, whether such indebtedness now exists or is hereafter incurred, which default or defaults:

(i) shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled within 60 days after the date of such acceleration; or

(ii) shall constitute the failure to pay such indebtedness at the final stated maturity thereof (after expiration of any applicable grace period); or

(j) rendering of any final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of $25.0 million against the Company that is not discharged for any period of sixty (60) consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement shall not be in effect; or

(k) commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Company or any substantial part of the property of the Company, or consent by the Company to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against the Company or general assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors, or failure of the Company generally to pay its debts as they become due; or

(l) commencement of an involuntary case or other proceeding against the Company seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Company or any substantial part of the property of the Company

and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of sixty(60) consecutive days;

then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(k) or 6.01(l), unless the principal of all of the Debentures shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding hereunder determined in accordance with Section 8.04, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Debentureholders), may declare the principal of all the Debentures and any Interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Debentures contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(k) or Section 6.01(l) occurs, the principal of all the Debentures and any Interest accrued thereon shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without necessity of further action. This provision, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Debentures shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of Interest upon all Debentures and the principal of any and all Debentures which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of Interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) and on such principal at the rate borne by the Debentures, to the date of such payment or deposit) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06, and if any and all defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal of and accrued Interest on Debentures which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.07, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults or Events of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. The Company shall notify in writing a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware thereof, of any Event of Default.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the holders of Debentures, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the holders of Debentures, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

Section 6.02 Payments of Debentures on Default; Suit Therefor. The Company covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of Interest upon any of the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days, or (b) in case

default shall be made in the payment of the principal of any of the Debentures as and when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at maturity of the Debentures or in connection with any redemption, repurchase, acceleration, declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company, or the Guarantors, in accordance with Article 15, will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Debentures, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Debentures for principal or Interest, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of Interest at the rate borne by the Debentures, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06. Until such demand by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and Interest on the Debentures to the registered holders, whether or not the Debentures are overdue.

In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company, or such other obligor, or in the case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Debentures, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Debentures shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and Interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Debentures, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Debentureholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company, or any other obligor on the Debentures, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06, and to take any other action with respect to such claims, including participating as a member of any official committee of creditors, as it reasonably deems necessary or advisable, and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or

reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Debentureholders to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Debentureholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including counsel fees and expenses incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property which the holders of the Debentures may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Debentures, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Debentures, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Debentures.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders of the Debentures, and it shall not be necessary to make any holders of the Debentures parties to any such proceedings.

Section 6.03 Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies or other property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6, or any monies or other property otherwise distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Debentures, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Debentures, then to the payment of such principal and Interest without preference or priority of principal over Interest, or of Interest over principal, or of any installment of Interest over any other installment of Interest, or of any Debenture over any other Debenture, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid Interest; and

FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company, any Guarantor, or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.

Section 6.04 Proceedings by Debentureholder. No holder of any Debenture shall have any right by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable security or indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Debenture with every other taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Debentures shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other holder of Debentures, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Debentures (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.04, each and every Debentureholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Debenture, the right of any holder of any Debenture to receive payment of the principal of (including any Redemption Price or Repurchase Price pursuant to Article 3) and accrued Interest on such Debenture on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates against the Company or any Guarantor, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.

Anything in this Indenture or the Debentures to the contrary notwithstanding, the holder of any Debenture, without the consent of either the Trustee or the holder of any other Debenture, in its own behalf and for its own benefit, may enforce, and may institute

and maintain any proceeding suitable to enforce, its rights of conversion as provided herein.

Section 6.05 Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 6.06 Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Debentures, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Debentures to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default or Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein, and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Debentureholders.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Debentures, waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of Interest on, or the principal of, the Debentures, (ii) a failure by the Company to convert any Debentures into Common Stock or cash, (iii) a default in the payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to Section 3.03, (iv) a default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 3.05 or Company Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 3.06 or (v) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each or all Debentures then outstanding or affected thereby. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the holders of the Debentures shall be

restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.07, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Debentures and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.08 Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within ninety (90) days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of the occurrence of a default, mail to all Debentureholders, as the names and addresses of such holders appear upon the Debenture Register, notice of all defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided that except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or Interest on any of the Debentures, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Debentureholders. For the purpose of this Section 6.08, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

Section 6.09 Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Debenture by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.09 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Debentureholder, or group of Debentureholders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Debentureholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or Interest on any Debenture on or after the due date expressed in such Debenture or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Debenture in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.

Article 7
The Trustee

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent

person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred:

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(e) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred.

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any default (as defined in Section 6.08) or Event of Default hereunder unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received at the Corporate Trust Office written notice of such

default or Event of Default from the Company or the holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures and such notice refers to such default or Event of Default, the Debentures and the Indenture.

None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

(j) before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action which it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

Section 7.03 No Responsibility for Recitals, Etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Debentures (except in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Guarantors, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debentures. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Debentures or the proceeds of any Debentures authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 7.04 Trustee, Paying Agents, Bid Solicitation Agents, Conversion Agents or Registrar May Own Debentures. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Bid Solicitation Agent, any Conversion Agent or Debenture Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debentures with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Bid Solicitation Agent, Conversion Agent or Debenture Registrar.

Section 7.05 Monies to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.03, all monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received.

The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed in writing from time to time by the Company and the Trustee.

Section 7.06 Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to from time to time in writing between the Company and the Trustee, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (or any officer, director or employee of the Trustee), in any capacity under this Indenture and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee or such officers, directors, employees and agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or in any other capacity hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Guarantor, any holder or any other Person) of liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee.

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Debentureholders, the resigning Trustee may, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Company and the Debentureholders, appoint a successor identified in such notice or may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or, if any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six (6) months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.09, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six (6) 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, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.09, any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee; provided that if no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) days after either the Company or the Debentureholders has removed the Trustee, or the Trustee resigns, the Trustee so removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee which shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless, within ten (10) days after notice to the Company of such nomination, the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Debentureholder, or if such Trustee so removed or any Debentureholder fails to act, the Company, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 7.10 provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11.

Section 7.11 Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company, to the Guarantors, and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amount then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property and

funds held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of holders of particular Debentures, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless, at the time of such acceptance, such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.11, the Company (or the former trustee, at the written direction of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the holders of Debentures at their addresses as they shall appear on the Debenture Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

Article 8
The Debentureholders

Section 8.01 Action by Debentureholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Debentureholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the holders of Debentures voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Debentureholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 9, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Debentureholders. Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the holders of the Debentures, the Company or the Trustee may fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the Record Date for determining holders entitled to take such action. The Record Date shall be not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.

Section 8.02 Proof of Execution by Debentureholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Debentureholder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Debentures shall be proved by the registry of such Debentures or by a certificate of the Debenture Registrar.

The record of any Debentureholders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.06.

Section 8.03 Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Debenture Registrar may deem the Person in whose name such Debenture shall be registered upon the Debenture Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Debenture (whether or not such Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and Interest on such Debenture, for conversion of such Debenture and for all other purposes; and neither the Company, nor the Guarantors, nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Debenture Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Debenture.

Section 8.04 Company-owned Debentures Disregarded. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Debentures have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Debentures which are owned by the Company, the Guarantors or any other obligor on the Debentures or any

Affiliate of the Company, the Guarantors or any other obligor on the Debentures shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action, only Debentures which a Responsible Officer knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Debentures so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Debentures and that the pledgee is not the Company, any other obligor on the Debentures or any Affiliate of the Company, the Guarantors or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company or any Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Debentures, if any, known by the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons, and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Debentures not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 8.05 Revocation of Consents, Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Debenture which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debentures the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debenture. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Debenture shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Debenture and of any Debentures issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debenture or any Debenture issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

Section 11.01 Company or Guarantor May Consolidate on Certain Terms.

Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be

signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of CapitalSource Inc. any or all of the Debentures, issuable hereunder that theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor Person 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 Debentures that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Debentures that such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Debentures so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Debentures theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Debentures had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Article 14
Conversion of Debentures

Section 14.01 Right to Convert.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture including Section 14.03 hereof, prior to March 15, 2034, the holder of any Debenture shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to convert the principal amount of the Debenture, or any portion of such principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as such shares shall then be constituted) at the Conversion Rate in effect at such time, by surrender of the Debenture so to be converted in whole or in part, together with any required funds, under the circumstances described in this Section 14.01 and in the manner provided in Section 14.02. The Debentures shall be convertible only during the following periods upon the occurrence of one of the following events:

(i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and before the Business Day immediately prior to the Stated Maturity (and only during such calendar quarter) if the Last Reported Sale Price for the Common Stock for at least twenty (20) Trading Days during the period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the previous calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 120% of the Conversion Price on such last Trading Day;

(ii) in the event that the Company calls any or all of the Debentures for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (unless the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price); provided that only those Debentures that are called for redemption may be converted following such an event;

(iii) during the five (5) consecutive Business Day period after any five (5) consecutive Trading Day period in which the Trading Price per Debenture, as determined following a request by a holder in accordance with the procedures described below, for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the Conversion Rate and the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock such day (the “98% Trading Exception”); provided however, that if on the date of any conversion pursuant to the 98% Trading Exception that is on or after March 15, 2029, the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date is greater than 100% of the Conversion Price, then Debentureholders surrendering Debentures for conversion will receive, in lieu of shares of Common Stock based on the Conversion Rate, shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the principal amount of Debentures being converted (a “Principal Value Conversion”). Shares of Common Stock delivered upon a Principal Value Conversion will be valued at the greater of the effective Conversion Price as of the eighth day prior to the Conversion Date and the Last Reported Sale Price as of the Conversion Date and will be delivered no later than the third Business Day following the determination of the Last Reported Sale Price; or

(iv) as provided in Section (b) of this Section 14.01.

In connection with any conversion pursuant to Section 14.01(a)(iii), the Trustee shall have no obligation to obtain the bids necessary for the Company to determine the Trading Price of the Debentures unless the Company has requested it to do so, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per Debenture is less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. At such time, the Company will instruct the Trustee to obtain the bids (in the manner described in the definition of Trading Price) beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per Debenture is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate.

The Company or its designated agent shall determine on a daily basis during the time period specified in Section 14.01(a)(i)and Section 14.01(a)(iii) whether the Debentures shall be convertible as a result of the occurrence of an event specified in clause (i) or (iii) above and, if the Debentures shall be so convertible, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company) written notice thereof. Whenever the Debentures shall become convertible pursuant to this Section 14.01, the Company or, at the Company’s request, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall notify the holders of the event triggering such convertibility in the manner provided in Section 16.03, and the Company shall also publicly announce such information by publication on the Company’s Web site or through such other public medium as it may use at such time. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice.

The Trustee shall be entitled at its sole discretion to consult with the Company and to request the assistance of the Company in connection with the Trustee’s duties and obligations pursuant to Section 14.01 hereof, and the Company agrees, if requested by the Trustee, to cooperate with, and provide assistance to, the Trustee in carrying out its duties under this Section 14.01; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to relieve the Trustee of its duties pursuant to Section 14.01 hereof.

(b) In addition, if:

(i) the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase (for a period expiring within 45 days of the date of the distribution) shares of Common Stock at less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of the distribution, or (B) the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock assets, debt securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company and set forth in a Board Resolution exceeding 5% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, then, in either case, the Debentures may be surrendered for conversion at any time on and after the date that the Company gives notice to the holders of such distribution, which shall be not less than 20 Business Days prior to the Ex-

Dividend Date for such distribution, until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding, but not including, the Ex-Dividend Date or the date the Company publicly announces that such distribution will not take place; provided that no holder may exercise this right to convert if the holder will otherwise participate in such distribution without conversion;

(ii) the Company consolidates with or merges with or into another Person or is a party to a binding share exchange, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into cash or property other than securities, then the Debentures may be surrendered for conversion at any time from and after the date which is fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction until and including the date which is fifteen (15) days after the actual effective date of the transaction. The Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the anticipated effective date of the transaction, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the holders and shall be publicly announced by the Company by publication on its Web site or through such other public medium as it may use at that time not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the 15th day prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction. If Debentures are not surrendered pursuant to this paragraph for conversion, at the effective time of the transaction, the right to convert the Debentures into Common Stock will be changed into a right to convert the Debentures into the kind and amount of, cash, securities or other property that a Debentureholder would have received if such holder had converted such holder’s Debentures immediately prior to the applicable Record Date for such transaction.

(c) A Debenture in respect of which a holder is electing to exercise its option to require repurchase upon a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 3.05 or repurchase pursuant to Section 3.06 may be converted only if such holder withdraws its election in accordance with Section 3.08(d). A holder of Debentures is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such holder has converted his Debentures to Common Stock, and only to the extent such Debentures are deemed to have been converted to Common Stock under this Article 14.

Section 14.02 Exercise of Conversion Privilege; Issuance of Common Stock on Conversion; No Adjustment for Interest or Dividends. In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Debenture in certificated form, the Company must receive at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose or, at the option of such holder, the Corporate Trust Office, such Debenture with the original or facsimile of the form entitled “Form of Conversion Notice” on the reverse thereof, duly completed and manually signed, together with the appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and accompanied by the funds, if any, required by this Section 14.02. Such notice (a “Notice of Conversion”) shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued, and shall be accompanied by transfer or similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 14.08.

In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any interest in a Global Debenture, the beneficial holder must complete, or cause to be completed, the

appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary’s book-entry conversion program, deliver, or cause to be delivered, by book-entry delivery an interest in such Global Debenture, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Trustee or Conversion Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by this Section 14.02 and any transfer taxes if required pursuant to Section 14.08.

As promptly as practicable after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above, but no later than the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Company of a Form of Conversion Notice, subject to Section 14.03 and subject also to compliance with any restrictions on transfer if shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in a name other than that of the Debentureholder (as if such transfer were a transfer of the Debenture or Debentures (or portion thereof) so converted), the Company shall issue and shall deliver, or cause the Conversion Agent to deliver, to such Debentureholder at the office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Debenture or portion thereof as determined by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Article 14 and a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion, calculated by the Company as provided in Section 14.03. In case any Debenture of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, and subject to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the holder of the Debenture so surrendered, without charge to him, a new Debenture or Debentures in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Debenture.

Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Debenture (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in this Section 14.02 have been satisfied as to such Debenture (or portion thereof) (such date, the “Conversion Date”), and the Person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become immediately prior to the close of business on said date the holder of record of the shares represented thereby; provided, that any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the Person in whose name the certificates are to be issued as the record holder thereof for all purposes on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date upon which such Debenture shall be surrendered.

Any Debenture or portion thereof surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date shall be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the Interest otherwise payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount being converted; provided, that no such payment need be made (1) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and prior

to the next Interest Payment Date, (2) if the Company has specified a Repurchase Date following a Fundamental Change that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date or (3) to the extent of any overdue Interest, if any overdue Interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Debenture. Except as provided above in this Section 14.02, no payment or other adjustment shall be made for Interest accrued on any Debenture converted or for dividends on any shares issued upon the conversion of such Debenture as provided in this Article 14.

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

Upon the conversion of a Debenture, that portion of the accrued but unpaid Interest with respect to the converted Debenture shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the holder thereof through delivery of cash or the Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any in lieu of fractional shares) in exchange for the Debenture being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof; and the cash or fair market value of such shares of Common Stock (together with any such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) shall be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for and in satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the converted Debenture and the accrued but unpaid Interest to, but not including the Conversion Date, and the balance, if any, of such fair market value of such cash or Common Stock (and any such cash payment) shall be treated as issued in exchange for and in satisfaction of the right to convert the Debenture being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.

Section 14.03 Payment Upon Conversion; Payment of Cash in Lieu of Common Stock.

(a) If a Debentureholder elects to convert all or any portion of a Debenture into shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 14.01 and the Company receives such Debentureholder’s Notice of Conversion on or prior to the day that is 20 days prior to Stated Maturity, or with respect to Debentures called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.01, the applicable Redemption Date (the “Final Notice Date”), the Company may choose to satisfy all of its obligation (the “Conversion Obligation”) in cash or shares. Upon such election, the Company will notify such Debentureholder through the Trustee of such election at any time on or before the date that is five Business Days following the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Conversion (such period, the “Cash Settlement Notice Period”). If the Company elects to pay cash for the shares otherwise issuable to the Debentureholder, the Debentureholder may retract the Notice of Conversion at any time during the two Business Day period beginning on the day after the final day of the Cash Settlement Notice Period (the “Conversion Retraction Period”); no such retraction can be made (and a Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable) if the Company does not elect to deliver cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares). If the Notice of Conversion has not been retracted, then the

settlement (in cash or shares) will occur on the Business Day following the final day of the seven consecutive Trading Day period beginning on the day after the final day of the Conversion Retraction Period (the “Cash Settlement Averaging Period”). With respect to any Notice of Conversion received by the Company prior to the Final Notice Date, the “Conversion Settlement Distribution” for any Debenture subject to such Notice of Conversion shall consist of cash or Common Stock, as selected by the Company as set forth below:

(i) if the Company elects to satisfy the Conversion Obligation in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Settlement Distribution shall be a number of shares equal to (1) the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures to be converted divided by 1,000, multiplied by (2) the Conversion Rate, plus cash for any fractional shares pursuant to Section 14.04;

(ii) if the Company elects to satisfy the Conversion Obligation in cash, the Conversion Settlement Distribution shall be cash in an amount equal to the product of:

(A) a number equal to the product of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be converted divided by 1,000 multiplied by (y) the Conversion Rate, and

(B) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock during the Cash Settlement Averaging Period;

(b) At any time on or before any Final Notice Date, the Company will notify the Trustee whether it intends to satisfy the Conversion Obligation with respect to conversions of Debentures for which the Company receives a Notice of Conversion after such Final Notice Date in cash or shares. In such case, the Company will not send individual notices of its election to satisfy the Conversion Obligation in cash, if applicable, and the applicable Conversion Settlement Distribution will be computed in the same manner as set forth in clause Section 14.03 above except that the Cash Settlement Averaging Period shall be the five consecutive Trading Days ending on the third Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date and settlement (in cash or shares) will occur on the third Business Day following the Conversion Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, at any time prior to Stated Maturity, the Company may irrevocably elect, in its sole discretion without the consent of the Debentureholders, by notice to the Trustee and the Debentureholders to satisfy in cash 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures converted after the date of such election. Settlement amounts will be computed and settlement dates will be determined in the same manner as set forth above under clause Section 14.03 or (b), as applicable.

Section 14.04 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip certificates representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of Debentures. If more than one Debenture shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures (or specified

portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share of stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Debenture or Debentures, the Company shall make an adjustment and payment therefor in cash to the holder of Debentures at the Last Reported Sale Price on the last Trading Day immediately preceding the day on which the Debentures (or specified portions thereof) are deemed to have been converted.

Section 14.05 Conversion Rate. Each $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures shall be convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the form of Debenture (herein called the “Conversion Rate”) attached as Exhibit A hereto (initially 32.8952 shares), subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 14.

Section 14.06 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 the Common Stock, or effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

(FORMULA)


where,

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

CR’	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such event

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

OS’	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Business Day following the date fixed for such determination. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in treasury by the Company. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.06(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any rights or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 45 days to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, at a price per share or a conversion price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of shares of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate will be

adjusted based on the following formula (provided that the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration):

(FORMULA)


where,

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

CR’	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such event

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

X	=	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights

Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date with respect to the issuance of such rights.

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Business Day following the date fixed for such determination. The Company shall not issue any such rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in treasury by the Company. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed.

In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Last Reported Sale Price of shares of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

(i) dividends, distributions and rights or warrants referred to in clause (a) or (b) above; and

(ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash referred to in clause (d) below;

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

(FORMULA)


where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such distribution

CR’	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such distribution

SP₀	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten days prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date with respect to such distribution

FMV	=	the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Record Date for such distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Business Day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.

(d) If the Company makes any cash dividend or distribution during any quarterly fiscal period to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

(FORMULA)

where,


CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution

CR’	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date for such distribution


SP₀	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of our Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date with respect to such distribution

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

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the 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 (the “Expiration Time”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

(FORMULA)


where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect on the date such tender or exchange offer expires

CR’	=	the Conversion Rate in effect on the day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires

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

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

OS’	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires

SP’	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate

shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.

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

Except as stated herein, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities.

(f) [Reserved]

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.06, no adjustment shall be made thereunder, nor shall an adjustment be made to the ability of a Holder of a Debenture to convert, for any distribution described therein if the Holder will otherwise participate in the distribution without conversion of such Holder’s Debentures.

(h) The Company may (but is not required to) make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 14.06 as the Board of Directors of the Company considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or any similar event treated as such for income tax purposes.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of at least twenty (20) days if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to holders of record of the Debentures a notice of the increase at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(i) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made:

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

(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in subclause (ii) above and outstanding as of the date the Debentures were first issued;

(iv) if the Debentureholders may participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.06;

(v) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(vi) for accrued and unpaid Interest.

(j) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be required pursuant to this Section 14.06 until the earlier of (1) such time as the Company shall have mailed or caused to be mailed a Redemption Notice to be made pursuant to Section 3.02, or (2) such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% in the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this clause (j) of Section 14.06 are not required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

(k) All calculations under this Article 14 shall be made by the Company 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.

(l) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee 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 that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the holder of each Debenture at his last address appearing on the Debenture Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, within twenty (20) days after execution of such Officers’ Certificate. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(m) In any case in which this Section 14.06 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after (1) a Record Date for an event, (2) the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive a dividend or distribution pursuant to Section 14.06(a), (c), or (d), (3) a date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive rights or warrants pursuant to Section 14.06(b), or (4) the Expiration Time for any tender or exchange offer pursuant to Section 14.06(e), (each a “Determination Date”), the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the applicable Adjustment Event (as hereinafter defined) (x) issuing to the holder of any Debenture converted after such Determination Date and before the occurrence of such Adjustment

Event, the additional shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 14.03. For purposes of this Section 14.06(m), the term “Adjustment Event” shall mean:

(i) in any case referred to in clause (1) hereof, the occurrence of such event,

(ii) in any case referred to in clause (2) hereof, the date any such dividend or distribution is paid or made,

(iii) in any case referred to in clause (3) hereof, the date of expiration of such rights or warrants, and

(iv) in any case referred to in clause (4) hereof, the date a sale or exchange of Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes irrevocable.

(n) For purposes of this Section 14.06, 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. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

Section 14.07 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination to which Section 14.06(a) applies), (ii) any consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or combination of the Company with another Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to any other Person, in each case as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing that each Debenture shall be convertible into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Debentures immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of cash, securities or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, combination,

sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of cash, securities or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“non-electing share”), then for the purposes of this Section 14.07 the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 14.

The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each holder of Debentures, at its address appearing on the Debenture Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, within twenty (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 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, binding share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances.

If this Section 14.07 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 14.06 shall not apply.

Section 14.08 Taxes on Shares Issued. The issuance of stock certificates on conversions of Debentures shall be made without charge to the converting Debentureholder for any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax in respect of the issue thereof. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the holder of any Debenture converted, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 14.09 Reservation of Shares, Shares to Be Fully Paid; Compliance with Governmental Requirements; Listing of Common Stock. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Debentures from time to time as such Debentures are presented for conversion.

Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment increasing the Conversion Rate to an amount that would cause the Conversion Price to be reduced below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Rate.

The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Debentures will upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Debentures hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly and lawfully issued upon conversion, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission (or any successor thereto), endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

The Company further covenants that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System or any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures.

Section 14.10 Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to the Company or any holder of Debentures to determine the Conversion Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Debenture; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Debenture for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 14. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 14.07 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Debentureholders upon the conversion of their Debentures after any event referred to in such Section 14.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

Section 14.11 Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:

(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.06; or

(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants; or

(c) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each holder of Debentures at his address appearing on the Debenture Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

Section 14.12 Shareholders. If the Company adopts or subsequently amends a shareholder rights plan and if the rights provided for in such plan have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights agreement so that the holders of the Debentures would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, the conversion rate will be adjusted as if the Company distributed to all holders of Common Stock shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets (including securities but excluding rights or warrants to purchase Common Stock issued to all holders of Common Stock, Common Stock issued as a dividend or distribution on Common Stock and cash distributions), subject to readjustment upon the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the rights. In lieu of any such adjustment, the Company may amend any such future shareholder rights agreement to provide that upon conversion of the debentures the holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock

issuable upon such conversion, the rights which would have attached to such Common Stock if the rights had not become separated from the Common Stock under such applicable shareholder rights agreement.

Article 15
Guarantees

Section 15.01 Guarantees. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each holder of a Debenture authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee on behalf of such Debentureholder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and Interest on such Debenture and all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, upon a Repurchase Date or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Debenture and of this Indenture (collectively, the “Indenture Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby fully and unconditionally also guarantee to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of all obligations of the Company to the Trustee under this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Company punctually to make any such payment, the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, upon a Repurchase Date or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.

Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, the validity, regularity or enforceability of such Debenture or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same or any release, amendment, waiver or indulgence granted to the Company or any Guarantor or any consent to depart from any requirement of any other guarantee of all or any of the Debentures or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. The Guarantors hereby waive to the fullest extent permitted by law the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, any requirement that the Trustee or any of the Debentureholders protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest in or other lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person or any collateral, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Debenture or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that the Guarantees will not be discharged in respect of such Debenture except by complete performance of the payment obligations contained in such Debenture and in such Guarantee. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Debentureholders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Debentures, to collect Interest on the Debentures, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Debentures, the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to the fullest extent permitted by law to pay to the Trustee for the account of the Debentureholders, upon demand therefor, the amount that

would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Debentureholders.

Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the holders of the Debentures upon which its Guarantee is endorsed against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by such Guarantor on account of such Debenture pursuant to the provisions of its Guarantee or this Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantors shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payment arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of and Interest, if any, on all Debentures issued hereunder shall have been paid in full.

Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Debentures is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Debentureholder, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Debentures shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Any term or provision of any Guarantee to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate amount of the obligations guaranteed hereunder shall be reduced to the extent necessary to prevent such Guarantee from violating or becoming voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Section 15.02 Execution and Delivery of Guarantees. The Guarantees to be endorsed on the Debentures shall include the terms and shall be substantially in the form of the Guarantee set forth in Exhibit A. Each Guarantor hereby agrees to execute its Guarantee, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A, to be endorsed on each Debenture authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

The Guarantees shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by any one of such Guarantor’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Credit Officer, Chief Legal Officer, Managing Director, Chief Accounting Officer, any Vice President (whether or not designated by a number or numbers or word or words added before or after the title “Vice President”), Secretary or Controller or other person duly authorized by Member Action on behalf of such Guarantor. The signature of any or all of these persons on the Guarantee may be manual or facsimile.

A Guarantee bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of any Guarantor shall bind such Guarantor, notwithstanding

that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of the Debenture on which such Guarantee is endorsed or did not hold such offices at the date of such Guarantee.

The delivery of any Debenture by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of each Guarantor.

Section 15.03 Release of Guarantees. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 15 to the contrary, concurrently with the payment in full of (i) the principal of and Interest on the Debentures and (ii) all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture, the Guarantors shall be released from and relieved of their obligations under this Article 15. Upon the delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the transaction giving rise to the release of a Guarantee was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Debentures, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of the Guarantors from their obligations under such Guarantee. If any of the obligations to pay the principal of and Interest on the Debentures and all other obligations of the Company are revived and reinstated after the termination of such Guarantee, then all of the obligations of the Guarantors under such Guarantee shall be revived and reinstated as if such Guarantee had not been terminated until such time as the principal of and Interest on the Debentures are paid in full, and each Guarantor shall enter into an amendment to such Guarantee, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, evidencing such revival and reinstatement.

For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Debentures by the authenticating agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Debentures “by the Trustee” and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or in the Debentures for the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 7.09.

Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee shall either promptly appoint a successor authenticating agent or itself assume the duties and obligations of the former authenticating agent under this Indenture and, upon such appointment of a successor authenticating agent, if made, shall give written notice of such appointment of a successor authenticating agent to the Company and shall mail notice of such appointment of a successor authenticating agent to all holders of Debentures as the names and addresses of such holders appear on the Debenture Register.

Section 16.14 Execution in Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 16.15 Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Debentures shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then (to the extent permitted by law) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

This Debenture is one of a duly authorized issue of Debentures of the Company, designated as its Senior Convertible Debentures due 2034 (herein called the “Debentures”), limited in aggregate principal amount to $225,000,000, issued and to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of March 19, 2004 (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, CapitalSource Holdings LLC and CapitalSource Finance LLC, as guarantors (herein each called a “Guarantor” and collectively called the “Guarantors”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (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, the Guarantors and the holders of the Debentures.

In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of and accrued Interest on all Debentures may be declared by either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding, 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 Debentures; provided that no such supplemental indenture shall (A) extend the Stated Maturity of any Debenture, or (B) reduce the rate or extend the time for payment of Interest thereon, or (C) reduce the principal amount thereof, or (D) reduce any amount payable on redemption or repurchase thereof, or (E) impair the right of any Debentureholder to institute suit for the payment thereof, or (F) make the principal thereof or Interest thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the Debentures, or (G) affect the obligation of the Company to redeem any Debenture on a Redemption Date in a manner adverse to the holders of Debentures, or (H) affect the obligation of the Company to repurchase any Debenture upon the happening of a Fundamental Change in a manner adverse to the holders of Debentures, or (I) affect the obligation of the Company to repurchase any Debenture on a Company Repurchase Date in a manner adverse to the holders of Debentures, or (J) impair the right to convert the Debentures into Common Stock subject to the terms set forth in the Indenture, including Section 14.07 thereof, or (K) reduce the number of shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash or the amount of other property receivable upon conversion, in each case, without the consent of the holder of each Debenture so affected, or (L) modify any of the provisions of Section 10.02 of the Indenture or Section 6.07 thereof, except to increase

A-6

any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each Debenture so affected, or (M) reduce the quorum or voting requirements set forth in Article 9 of the Indenture or (N) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of all Debentures then outstanding. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Debentures waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences except (A) a default in the payment of Interest on or the principal of any of the Debentures, (B) a failure by the Company to convert any Debentures into Common Stock, cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock of the Company, (C) a default in the payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to Article 3 of the Indenture, (D) a default in the payment of the Company Repurchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price pursuant to Article 3 of the Indenture, or (E) a default in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which under Article 10 of the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each or all Debentures then outstanding or affected thereby. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Debenture (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Debenture and any Debentures which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Debenture or such other Debentures.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debenture or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and Interest on this Debenture at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

Interest on the Debentures shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Debentures are issuable in fully registered form, without interest coupons, in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or exchange of Debentures, Debentures may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Debentures of any other authorized denominations.

At any time on or after March 15, 2009 and prior to maturity, the Debentures may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, in cash upon mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to the holders of Debentures at their last registered addresses, all as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of debentures being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid Interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided that if the applicable Redemption Date is an Interest Payment

A-7

Date, the Interest payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the holders of record of such Debentures on the applicable Record Date instead of the holders surrendering such Debentures for redemption on such date.

In no event will any Security be redeemable at the option of the Company before March 15, 2009.

The Company may not give notice of any redemption of the Debentures if a default in the payment of Interest on the Debentures has occurred and is continuing.

The Debentures are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund.

If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to maturity of the Debentures, each holder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase this Debenture for cash, or subject to certain conditions, Common Stock, on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specified by the Company, which shall be no later than 30 Business Days after notice thereof, at a Fundamental Change Repurchase Price equal to at least 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued Interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall mail to all holders of record of the Debentures a notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof on or before the 30th day after the occurrence of such Fundamental Change. For a Debenture to be so repurchased at the option of the holder, the Company must receive at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, such Debenture with the form entitled “Form of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice” on the reverse thereof duly completed, together with such Debenture, duly endorsed for transfer at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to repurchase, at the option of the holder, all or any portion of the Debentures held by such holder on March 15, 2009, March 15, 2014, March 15, 2019, March 15, March 15, 2024, and March 15, 2029 in integral multiples of $1,000 at a Company Repurchase Price of 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid Interest on such Debenture to but excluding the Company Repurchase Date. To exercise such right, a holder shall deliver to the Company such Debenture with the form entitled “Form of Company Repurchase Election” on the reverse thereof duly completed, together with the Debenture, duly endorsed for transfer, at any time from the opening of business on the 20th Business Day prior to such Company Repurchase Date until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Company Repurchase Date, and shall deliver, or arrange for book-entry transfer of, the Debentures to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) as set forth in the Indenture.

The Company Repurchase Price to be paid on any of March 15, 2009, March 15, 2014, March 15, 2019, March 15, 2024 and March 15, 2029 shall be paid in cash and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price to be paid on any Fundamental Change

A-8

Repurchase Date shall be paid in cash or Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture.

Holders have the right to withdraw any Repurchase Election by delivering to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) a written notice of withdrawal up to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date, all as provided in the Indenture.

If money or Common Stock, if allowed under the Indenture, sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price with respect to all Debentures or portions thereof to be repurchased as of any Repurchase Date is deposited with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), then on and after such Repurchase Date, such Debentures will cease to be outstanding, Interest will cease to accrue on such Debentures (or portions thereof), and the holder thereof shall have no other rights as such other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price upon surrender of such Debenture.

Subject to the occurrence of certain events and in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, prior to the Stated Maturity of the Debentures, the holder hereof has the right, at its option, to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures into 32.8592 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (a Conversion Price of approximately $ 30.40 per share), as such shares shall be constituted at the date of conversion and subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this Debenture with the form entitled “Form of Conversion Notice” on the reverse hereof duly completed, to the Company at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, or at the option of such holder, the Corporate Trust Office, and, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as this Debenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the holder or by his duly authorized attorney. The Company will notify the holder thereof of any event triggering the right to convert the Debentures as specified above in accordance with the Indenture.

If the Company (i) is a party to a consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange or combination, (ii) reclassifies the Common Stock, or (iii) sells or conveys its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, the right to convert a Debenture into shares of Common Stock will be changed into a right to convert it into the kind or amount of cash, securities or other property receivable upon such event, in each case in accordance with the Indenture.

No adjustment in respect of Interest on any Debenture converted or dividends on any shares issued upon conversion of such Debenture will be made upon any conversion except as set forth in the next sentence. If this Debenture (or portion hereof) is surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Record Date for the payment of Interest to the opening of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, this Debenture (or portion hereof being converted) must be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the Interest otherwise payable on such Interest Payment

A-9

Date on the principal amount being converted; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Record Date and prior to the next Interest Payment Date, (2) if the Company has specified a Repurchase Date following a Fundamental Change that is after a record date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date or (3) to the extent of any overdue Interest, if any overdue Interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Debenture.

No fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment and payment in cash will be made, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Debenture or Debentures for conversion.

A Debenture in respect of which a holder is exercising its right to require repurchase upon a Fundamental Change or repurchase on a Repurchase Date may be converted only if such holder withdraws its election to exercise such right in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Debenture at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, a new Debenture or Debentures of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange thereof, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Debenture Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Debenture (whether or not this Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company or any Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment on or account of the principal hereof and the Interest hereon, for the conversion hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any other authenticating agent nor any Paying Agent nor other Conversion Agent nor any Debenture Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, satisfy and discharge liability for monies payable on this Debenture.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or Interest on this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company or any Guarantor in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or in any Debenture, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, or for any of the obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantees shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, member, employee, agent, officer or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company, any Guarantor, or of any successor corporation or limited liability company, either directly or through the Company, or any Guarantor, or any successor corporation or limited liability company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or
