ITEM 2.03. CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT

On September 28, 2009, AMR Corporation (“AMR”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”) entered into the Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), supplemental to the Indenture, dated as of February 1, 2004, between AMR and the Trustee (the “Base Indenture,” as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), providing for the previously announced issuance by AMR of $460,000,000 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”). The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by American Airlines, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR (the “Company”), pursuant to the Guarantee, dated as of September 28, 2009 (the “Guarantee”).

Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2010. The stated maturity date of the Notes is October 15, 2014. The Notes are convertible by holders into shares of AMR’s Common Stock at an initial conversion rate of 101.0101 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.90 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Indenture, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the Notes. Maturity of the Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including failure by AMR (in some cases after notice or the expiration of a grace period, or both) to make payments under the Indenture when due, to deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes or to comply with certain covenants, as well as certain bankruptcy events.

The Notes and the Guarantee were registered for offer and sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), under AMR’s and the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-160646 and 333-160646-01) (the “Registration Statement”). The Notes were sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated September 22, 2009, among AMR, the Company and the several underwriters named therein.

ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

On September 28, 2009, AMR completed the previously announced issuance and sale of 48,484,849 shares of AMR’s Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, at a public offering price of $8.25 per share. AMR granted the underwriters of the offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 7,272,727 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments. The shares were registered for offer and sale pursuant to the Securities Act under the Registration Statement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     AMR Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and American Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Guarantor” and, together with the Company, the “Issuers”) confirm their agreement with you, as representatives of the Underwriters listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Underwriters”), with respect to the issue and sale by the Company and the purchase by the several Underwriters of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”) and with respect to the grant by the Company to the Underwriters of the option described in Section 2(b) hereof to purchase all or any part of an additional $60,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The aforesaid $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes (the “Initial Securities”) to

1

be purchased by the Underwriters and all or any part of the $60,00,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes subject to the option described in Section 2(b) hereof (the “Option Securities”) will both be unconditionally guaranteed pursuant to a Guarantee to be dated as of the Closing Time (as defined in Section 2(c)) (the “Guarantee”) on a senior basis by the Guarantor. The Initial Securities, the Option Securities and the Guarantee are hereinafter called, collectively, the “Securities.” The Securities are to be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) dated as of February 1, 2004 between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented and amended by the Supplemental Indenture, dated September 28, 2009 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) to be dated as of the Closing Time (as defined in Section 2(c)) among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee. If the firms listed in Schedule A hereto include only the Representatives, then the term “Underwriters” as used herein shall be deemed to refer to the “Representatives.”

     The Notes are convertible, subject to certain conditions, at the option of the holder prior to maturity (unless previously purchased) into shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, as described in the General Disclosure Package (as defined below). Securities issued in book-entry form will be issued to Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

     Concurrently with the offering and sale of the Securities by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Company is offering, in a transaction registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and by means of a prospectus supplement and related prospectus, up to 48,484,849 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Concurrent Offering”). The Representatives are also acting as the representatives of the underwriters for the offering of the Concurrent Offering. The Company has granted the underwriters of the Concurrent Offering an option to purchase up to an additional 7,272,727 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

     The Company has prepared and filed on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement (File Nos. 333-160646 and 333-160646-1) relating to the Company’s debt securities (including the Securities), common stock and other securities (collectively, “the Company Securities”) and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Such registration statement, at any given time, including the amendments thereto at such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act at such time and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the rules and regulations under the Securities Act at such time, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective is herein called the “Original Registration Statement.” As provided in

Section 3(a) hereof, promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a final prospectus relating to the Securities in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B under the Securities Act (“Rule 430B”) and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 under the Securities Act (“Rule 424”). Any information included in such final prospectus that was omitted from the Original Registration Statement but that is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B(f) is referred to as the “Rule 430B Information.”

     The term “Statutory Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities that omits Rule 430B Information together with the base prospectus included in the Original Registration Statement, and including any document incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act immediately prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below).

     The term “Final Prospectus” means the final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities and the base prospectus, collectively, in the form first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the execution of this Agreement, which includes the Rule 430B Information, including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act at the time the Final Prospectus was issued.

     The term “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (“Rule 433”), relating to the public offer of the Securities that is prepared or approved in writing in advance by the Company and that is required to be filed with the Commission by the Company.

     The term “General Disclosure Package” shall mean the Statutory Prospectus, the pricing term sheet attached as Schedule B hereto and the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule C hereto, all considered together. The term “Applicable Time” shall mean 11 P.M. (New York City time) on September 22, 2009.

     Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any prospectus, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act on or after the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, or the date of such prospectus, such Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, and deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

8

subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

     (xiii) Authorization of the Securities.

          (A) Notes. The Notes have been duly authorized and, at the Closing Time and, if any, each Date of Delivery, will have been duly executed by the Company and, when authenticated, issued and delivered in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered against payment by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and will be in the form contemplated by, and entitled to the benefits of, the Indenture.

     (xiv) Description of the Notes, the Indenture and the Guarantee. As of the Closing Time and each Date of Delivery, if any, the Notes, the Indenture and the Guarantee will conform in all material respects to the respective descriptions thereof contained in the General Disclosure Package and to be contained in the Final Prospectus.

     (xiv) Authorization and Description of Common Stock. The Common Stock conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, and such description will conform in all material respects to the rights set forth in the instruments defining the same. Upon issuance and delivery of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the

9

holder thereof into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Indenture; the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon such conversion by all necessary corporate action and such shares, when issued upon such conversion in accordance with the terms of the Notes, will be validly issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable; no holder of such shares will be subject to personal liability by reason of being such a holder; and the issuance of such shares upon such conversion will not be subject to the preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company.

     (xv) Absence of Defaults and Conflicts. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of its charter or by-laws or other constituting or organizational document or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject (collectively, “Agreements and Instruments”), except for such defaults that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that would not affect the validity of the Securities and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes; and the execution and delivery by the Issuers of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities, the consummation by the Issuers of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities, and the compliance by the Issuers with their obligations hereunder and thereunder and the terms hereof and thereof do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or a Repayment Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, the Agreements and Instruments (except for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Repayment Events or liens, charges or encumbrances that, singly or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated hereunder), or result in a violation of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, as amended, or other constituting or organizational document of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets, properties or operations, except, in each case, for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults, that, singly or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means

10

any event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment prior to the stated maturity or date of mandatory redemption or repayment thereof of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

     (xvi) Absence of Labor Dispute. Other than as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, no labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent which the Company expects to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (xvii) Absence of Proceedings. Other than as set forth in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company or any of its subsidiaries which, in the judgment of the Company, is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (xviii) Absence of Further Requirements. No consent, approval, authorization, order or license of, or filing with or notice to, any government, governmental instrumentality, regulatory body or authority or court, domestic or foreign, is required for the offering, issuance or sale of the Securities hereunder, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or for the valid authorization, execution, delivery and performance by each Issuer of this Agreement and the Indenture, or for the valid authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities, or for the performance by the Issuers of their obligations thereunder, except such as have been already obtained and or as may be required under the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations or state securities laws in connection with the Registration Statement, the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA and the listing of the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes on the New York Stock Exchange.

     (xix) Investment Company Act. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is, nor upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as herein contemplated and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus will be, an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     (xx) Environmental Laws. There has been no storage, disposal, generation, manufacture, refinement, transportation, handling or treatment of toxic wastes, medical wastes, hazardous wastes or hazardous substances by the

11

Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or, to the knowledge of the Company, any of their predecessors in interest), or at, upon or from any of the property now or previously owned or leased by the Company or its Subsidiaries in violation of, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability under, any applicable law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit or which would require remedial action under any applicable law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for any violation, liability or remedial action which would not have, or could not be reasonably likely to have, singularly or in the aggregate with all such violations, liabilities and remedial actions, a Material Adverse Effect; there has been no spill, discharge, leak, emission, injection, escape, dumping or release of any kind by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries onto such property or into the environment surrounding such property of any toxic wastes, medical wastes, solid wastes, hazardous wastes or hazardous substances due to or caused by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has knowledge, except for any such spill, discharge, leak, emission, injection, escape, dumping or release which would not have or would not be reasonably likely to have, singularly or in the aggregate with all such spills, discharges, leaks, emissions, injections, escapes, dumpings and releases, a Material Adverse Effect. The terms “hazardous wastes,” “toxic wastes,” “hazardous substances” and “medical wastes” shall have the meanings specified in any applicable local, state, federal and foreign laws or regulations with respect to environmental protection or human health. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts a periodic review of the effect of any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment, and hazardous and toxic substances and wastes, pollutants and contaminants (“Environmental Laws”) on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities have not had and would not, singularly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (xxi) ERISA. Each of the Issuers is in compliance in all material respects with all presently applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (“ERISA”); no “reportable event” (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any “pension plan” (as defined in ERISA) for which either Issuer would have any liability; neither Issuer has incurred and

12

does not expect to incur liability under (A) Title IV of ERISA with respect to the termination of, or withdrawal from, any “pension plan” or (B) Section 412 or 4971 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”); and each “pension plan” for which either Issuer would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which either Issuer reasonably expects would cause the loss of such qualification.

     (xxii) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries carry, or are covered by, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as is adequate for the conduct of their respective businesses and the value of their respective properties.

     (xxiii) Taxes. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all federal, state and local income and franchise tax returns required to be filed through the date hereof, except for such exceptions as would not individually or collectively have a Material Adverse Effect, and has paid all taxes due thereon, except such as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which has had, nor does the Company have any knowledge of any tax deficiency which, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, might have, a Material Adverse Effect.

     (xxiv) Internal Controls. The Company and the Guarantor (A) make and keep accurate books and records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company and the Guarantor, and (B) maintain internal accounting controls which provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain accountability for their assets, (iii) access to their assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for its assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals. The Company and the Guarantor maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that has been designed by the Company’s or the Guarantor’s respective principal executive officers and principal financial officers, or under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Neither the Company nor the Guarantor is aware of any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company or the Guarantor’s ability to record, process, summarize and

13

report financial information. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, there has been no change in the Company or the Guarantor’s internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company or the Guarantor’s internal control over financial reporting.

     (xxv) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company and the Guarantor maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that have been designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and the Guarantor, including their respective consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company and the Guarantor’s principal executive officers and principal financial officers by others within those entities; such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

     (xxvi) No Unlawful Payments. The Company has implemented compliance programs for purposes of (i) informing the appropriate officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries of (A) the Company’s policies against (1) the use of corporate funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity, (2) direct or indirect unlawful payments to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds, (3) violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and (4) making any bribes, rebates, payoffs, influence payments kickbacks or other unlawful payments and (ii) requiring such officers and employees to report to the Company any knowledge they may have of violations of the Company’s policies referred to above and no such reports have been made.

     (xxvii) No Brokerage Commission; Finder’s Fee. To the best of the Company’s knowledge after due inquiry, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company or any Subsidiary and any person that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company or the Underwriters for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other like payment in connection with this offering.

     (xxviii) Dividend Payments. Except as provided in the Pledge Agreement, neither the Guarantor nor AMR Eagle Holding Corporation is currently prohibited, directly or indirectly, under any agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or is subject, from paying any dividends to the Company, from making any other distribution on its respective capital stock or from repaying to the Company any loans or advances to it from the Company, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

14

     (xxxi) Possession of Licenses and Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Licenses”) issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies and third parties, governmental or otherwise, necessary to conduct the business now operated by them as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, except for such failures to possess Licenses as would not, individually or collectively, have a Material Adverse Effect; the Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Licenses or the failure of such Licenses to be in full force and effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (xxxii) Compliance with Money Laundering Laws. The operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in material compliance with all applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements, including those of the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act), and the applicable anti-money laundering statutes of jurisdictions where the Company and its subsidiaries conduct business, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”), and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the Anti-Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened.

(A)(i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), and (iii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) under the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Company Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 under the Securities Act, the Company was a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, including not having been an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act; and (B) at the time of filing the Original Registration Statement, at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Securities Act) of the Company Securities and at the date hereof, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer” as defined under Rule 405.

     (b) Officer’s Certificates. Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company or the Guarantor delivered to the Underwriters or to counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company or the Guarantor to the Underwriters as to the matters covered thereby as of the date or dates indicated in such certificate.

          SECTION 2. Sale and Delivery to the Underwriters; Closing.

     (a) Sale of Initial Securities. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Issuers, jointly and severally, agree to sell to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Issuers the principal amount of the Initial Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule A hereto at a purchase price of 97.250% of their principal amount.

     (b) Option Securities. In addition, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Issuers hereby grant an option to the Underwriters to purchase up to an additional $60,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Option Securities at a purchase price of 97.250% of such principal amount plus interest accrued from Closing Time to the Date of Delivery in cash. In the event and to the extent that the Underwriters shall exercise the election to purchase all or a portion of Option Securities as provided above, the Issuers agree to issue and sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Issuers that portion of the principal amount of Option Securities as to which such election shall have been exercised (to be adjusted by you so as to eliminate fractional shares) determined by multiplying such principal amount of Option Securities by a fraction, the numerator of

16

which is the maximum principal amount of Initial Securities which such Underwriter is entitled to purchase as set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule A hereto and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities that all of the Underwriters are entitled to purchase hereunder at the purchase price set forth above plus interest accrued from the Closing Time to the Date of Delivery in cash. The option hereby granted will expire 30 days after the date hereof and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time only for the purpose of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Initial Securities as may be modified by subsequent purchases and sales by the Underwriters upon written (including by email) notice by the Representatives to the Company setting forth the principal amount of Option Securities as to which the Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Securities. Any such time and date of delivery, if subsequent to the Closing Time, is called a “Date of Delivery” and shall be determined by the Representatives, but shall not be later than seven full business days after the exercise of said option, nor in any event prior to the Closing Time, as hereinafter defined, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Securities, the Underwriters will purchase the entire aggregate principal amount of Option Securities then being purchased.

     (c) Payment of Purchase Price. Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of one or more global certificates for, the Initial Securities shall be made at the offices of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, 919 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company, at 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on September 28, 2009, the fourth business day after the date hereof, or at such other time not later than ten business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called the “Closing Time”).

     In addition, in the event that the Underwriters have exercised their option to purchase all or any of the Option Securities, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of one or more global certificates for, such Option Securities shall be made at the above-mentioned offices, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company, on each Date of Delivery as specified in the written (including by email) notice from the Representatives to the Company; provided, however, that if such option shall have been exercised on or before the fourth business day prior to the Closing Time, the Date of Delivery for such Option Shares shall be the Closing Time.

     Payment shall be made to the Company by wire or interbank transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company, against delivery to the Representatives of the Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters.

17

     (d) Denominations; Registration. Certificates for the Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, shall be in such denominations ($1,000 or integral multiples thereof) and registered in such names as the Underwriters may request in writing at least one full business day before the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, provided, that any Securities in global form be registered in the name of Cede & Co. The certificates for the Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, will be made available for examination and packaging by the Underwriters in the City of New York not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the business day prior to the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be.

          SECTION 3. Covenants. (A) Covenants of the Company. The Company and, where specifically indicated, the Guarantor, jointly and severally, covenant with each of the Underwriters as follows:

     (a) Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will (i) prepare the Final Prospectus that complies with the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and which sets forth the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities and their terms not otherwise specified in the basic prospectus relating to offerings of debt securities and common stock under the Registration Statement, the name of each Underwriter participating in the offering and the face amount of the Securities that each severally has agreed to purchase, the name of each Underwriter, if any, acting as representative of the Underwriters in connection with the offering, the price at which the Securities are to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Company, any initial public offering price, any selling concession and re-allowance, and such other information as the Representatives and the Company deem appropriate in connection with the offering of the Securities and (ii) file all material required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time period required by such Rule. The Company will promptly transmit copies of the Final Prospectus to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 and will furnish to the Underwriters as many copies of the Final Prospectus as the Underwriters shall reasonably request.

     (b) During the period when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act (“Rule 173(a)”)), the Company will promptly advise the Representatives of (i) the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (ii) the transmittal to the Commission for filing of any supplement to the Final Prospectus or any document that would as a result thereof be incorporated by reference in the Final Prospectus, (iii) any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information relating thereto or to any document incorporated by reference therein, (iv) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, (v) any notice by the Commission pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) objecting to the use of the Registration Statement, and (vi) the receipt by

18

the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or suspension and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

     (c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a)), any event occurs as a result of which the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the Commission, subject to paragraph (d) of this Section 3, such amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or such amendment or supplement which will effect such compliance and the Company will use its reasonable efforts to have any such amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement with respect to the Securities). Neither the Underwriters’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.

     (d) At any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a)), the Company will give the Representatives notice of its intention to file any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus, whether pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or otherwise, will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such amendment or supplement or other documents proposed to be filed within a reasonable time in advance of filing, and will not file any such amendment or supplement or other documents in a form to which the Representatives shall reasonably object.

     (e) The Company has furnished or will, if requested, furnish to the Underwriters and the Underwriters’ counsel, without charge, conformed copies of the Original Registration Statement and of all amendments thereto, whether filed before or after such Registration Statement originally became effective (including exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated therein by reference); and the copies of the Original Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. So long as delivery of a Final Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, a notice referred to in Rule 173(a)) by the Underwriters or dealers may be required by the Securities Act, the Company will

19

furnish as many copies of any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto, as the Underwriters may reasonably request; and the Final Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to each Underwriter will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T or required under Rule 424(e).

     (f) The Issuers shall use their reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Securities and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Notes for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states in the United States as the Underwriters may reasonably designate and will maintain such qualification in effect as long as required in connection with the distribution of the Securities; provided, however, that neither Issuer shall be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

     (g) The Company intends to use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Securities in the manner to be indicated in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

     (h) The Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or listed on a “national securities exchange” registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act.

     (i) The Company will reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive or other similar rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to satisfy any obligations to issue the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

     (j) Beginning on the date hereof and ending on, and including, the date that is 90 days after the date of the Final Prospectus, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of each of the Representatives: (i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with Common Stock, or file any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any of the foregoing (other than a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 under the Securities Act) or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement or any transaction that transfers in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for

20

or repayable with Common Stock, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) the Securities to be sold hereunder or the Common Stock to be sold in the Concurrent Offering and (B) Common Stock (or options to purchase Common Stock) to be issued pursuant to the Corporation’s 1988 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended, the 1998 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended, the 1994 Directors Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, the 2003 Employee Stock Incentive Plan or other employee compensation benefit plans or pursuant to currently outstanding options, warrants or rights existing on the date hereof and referred to in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus.

     (k) The Issuers shall cooperate with the Underwriters and use their reasonable efforts to permit the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of DTC.

     (l) The Company, during the period when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a)), will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations.

     (B) Free Writing Prospectus Covenants. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Representatives is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.

          SECTION 6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Issuers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or

25

Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (1) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, the Rule 430B Information (or any amendment to the Registration Statement), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) arise out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the General Disclosure Package or in the Final Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, in each case, agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that (i) neither of the Issuers shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Issuers by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use in the Registration Statement including, without limitation, the Rule 430B Information (or any amendment thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), and (ii) the Issuers shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense of any settlement or compromise of or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened litigation or any pending or threatened governmental agency investigation or proceeding if such settlement or compromise of or consent to entry of judgment with respect thereto is effected without the prior written consent of the Issuers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except to the extent that such consent is not required pursuant to Section 6(d) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Issuers may otherwise have.

     (b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, each of their directors, each of their officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person who controls an Issuer, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses described in the indemnity contained in Section 6(a), but only with respect to untrue statements or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions made in the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, the 430B Information (or any amendment thereto), any Permitted Free Writing

26

Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the General Disclosure Package, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information by any Underwriter consists of the statements set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Notes and, under the heading “Underwriting”, (ii) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Notes, (iii) the second, third and fourth sentences in the third paragraph related to concessions and reallowances and (iv) the eighth, ninth and tenth paragraphs related to stabilization, over-allotments and derivative transactions in any Statutory Prospectus and the Final Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.

     (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party or parties in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party or parties will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party or parties of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party or parties will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect, by written notice delivered to such indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party, a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for such indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, in which event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party or parties to such indemnified party of the election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party or parties will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party or parties shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel representing the indemnified parties under subparagraph (a) of this Section 6 who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party or parties shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after

27

notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party or parties have authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). It is understood that all such fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party for which the indemnifying party is liable shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement or compromise of, or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

     (d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel payable pursuant to this Section 6, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment of the nature contemplated by clause (ii) of the proviso in Section 6(a) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid notice of request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into, and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment.

     (e) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the

28

offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (net of underwriting discounts and commissions paid to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Final Prospectus, bears to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Issuers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 6. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 6 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of either Issuer, each officer of either Issuer who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls either Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto and not joint.

          SECTION 7. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Issuers submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of

29

Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Issuers, and shall survive delivery of the Securities to the Underwriters.

          SECTION 8. Termination of Agreement.

     (a) Termination; General. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or in the international financial markets, or any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or any other governmental authority, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either federal or New York authorities.

     (b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6 and 7 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

          SECTION 9. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt. Notices to the Underwriters shall be directed to the Representatives at Citigroup Global Markets Inc., 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, Attention: General Counsel, Facsimile: (212) 816-7912, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, 585 Broadway, 29th Floor, New York, NY, Attention: Investment Banking Division, Facsimile: (212) 507-8999 and UBS Securities LLC, 299 Park Avenue, New York, NY, 10171; and notices to the Issuers shall be directed to the Company at P.O. Box 619616, Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, Texas 75261-9616, facsimile no. (817) 967-2199, attention of the Treasurer.

          SECTION 10. Default. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or

30

Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the aggregate principal amount of Securities specified to be purchased by them in Schedule A bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased by all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right, but not the obligation, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not complete such arrangements within such 24 hour period, then this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriters or the Company. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Sections 4, 6 and 7 shall remain in effect. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10 that does not result in a termination of this Agreement, the Closing Time and any Date of Delivery, as applicable, shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the nondefaulting Underwriters or the Company shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and to any nondefaulting Underwriters for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

          SECTION 11. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters and the Issuers and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Underwriters and the Issuers and their respective successors and the controlling persons referred to in Section 6 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Underwriters and the Issuers and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Securities from the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

          SECTION 12. No Fiduciary Duty. The Issuers acknowledge and agree that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Issuers with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of such offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries.

31

Additionally, no Underwriter is advising the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction with respect to the offering of the Securities or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Underwriter has advised or is advising the Issuers on other matters). Each Underwriter advises that it and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of securities and financial services and that it and its affiliates may enter into contractual relationships with purchasers or potential purchasers of the Company’s securities and that some of these services or relationships may involve interests that differ from those of the Issuers and need not be disclosed to the Issuers, unless otherwise required by law. The Issuers have consulted with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Underwriter shall have any responsibility or liability to the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Issuers, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Issuers. The Issuers waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims they may have against the Underwriters for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that no Underwriter shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Issuers in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim.

          SECTION 13. Governing Law and Time. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH HEREIN, SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW YORK CITY TIME.

          SECTION 14. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

          SECTION 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     AMR Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement with you, as representatives of the Underwriters listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Underwriters”), with respect to the issue and sale by the Company and the purchase by the several Underwriters of an aggregate of 48,484,849 shares (the “Initial Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, and with respect to the grant by the Company to the Underwriters of the option to purchase all or any part of the 7,272,727 additional shares of Common Stock described in Section 2(b) hereof (the “Option Shares” and, together with the Initial Shares, the “Shares”). If the firms listed in Schedule A hereto include only the Representatives, then the term “Underwriters” as used herein shall be deemed to refer to the “Representatives.”

1

     Concurrently with the offering and sale of the Shares by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Company is offering, in a transaction registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and by means of a prospectus supplement and related prospectus, up to $400,000,000 principal amount of its 6.250% Senior Convertible Notes due 2014 (the “Concurrent Offering”, and such notes, the “Notes”) to be issued pursuant to the provisions of an indenture dated as of February 1, 2004 between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee, as supplemented and amended by the Supplemental Indenture, dated September 28, 2009 (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”). The Representatives are also acting as the representatives of the underwriters for the Concurrent Offering. The Company has granted the underwriters of the Concurrent Offering an option to purchase up to an additional $60,000,000 principal amount of the Notes to cover over-allotments, if any. The Notes will be convertible into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of thereof and the Indenture.

     The Company has prepared and filed on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement (File Nos. 333-160646 and 333-160646-1) relating to the Company’s debt securities, Common Stock (including the Shares) and other securities (collectively, the “Securities”) and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Such registration statement, at any given time, including the amendments thereto at such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act at such time and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the rules and regulations under the Securities Act at such time, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective is herein called the “Original Registration Statement.” As provided in Section 3(a) hereof, promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a final prospectus relating to the Shares in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B under the Securities Act (“Rule 430B”) and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 under the Securities Act (“Rule 424”). Any information included in such final prospectus that was omitted from the Original Registration Statement but that is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B(f) is referred to as the “Rule 430B Information.”

     The term “Statutory Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Shares that omits Rule 430B Information together with the base prospectus included in the Original Registration Statement, and including any document incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act immediately prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below).

     The term “Final Prospectus” means the final prospectus supplement relating to the Shares and the base prospectus, collectively, in the form first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the execution of this Agreement, which includes the Rule 430B

2

Information, including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act at the time the Final Prospectus was issued.

     The term “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (“Rule 433”), relating to the public offering of the Shares that is prepared or approved in writing in advance by the Company and that is required to be filed with the Commission by the Company.

The terms “hazardous wastes,” “toxic wastes,” “hazardous substances” and “medical wastes” shall have the meanings specified in any applicable local, state, federal and foreign laws or regulations with respect to environmental protection or human health. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts a periodic review of the effect of any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment, and hazardous and toxic substances and wastes, pollutants and contaminants (“Environmental Laws”) on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities have not had and would not, singularly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In addition, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the Underwriters to purchase up to an additional 7,272,727 Option Shares at the price per Share set forth in Schedule A hereto. In the event and to the extent that the Underwriters shall exercise the election to purchase all or a portion of Option Shares as provided above, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from that portion of the number of Option Shares as to which such election shall have been exercised (to be adjusted by you so as to eliminate fractional shares)

14

determined by multiplying such number of Option Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the maximum number of Initial Shares which such Underwriter is entitled to purchase as set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule A hereto and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Initial Shares that all of the Underwriters are entitled to purchase hereunder at the price per Share set forth in Schedule A hereto. The option hereby granted will expire 30 days after the date hereof and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time only for the purpose of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Initial Shares as may be modified by subsequent purchases and sales by the Underwriters, upon written (including by email) notice by the Representatives to the Company setting forth the number of Option Shares as to which the Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Shares. Any such time and date of delivery, if subsequent to the Closing Time, is called a “Date of Delivery” and shall be determined by the Representatives, but shall not be later than seven full business days after the exercise of said option, nor in any event prior to the Closing Time, as hereinafter defined, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Shares, the Underwriters will purchase the entire aggregate principal amount of Option Shares then being purchased.

     (c) Payment of Purchase Price.

     In addition, in the event that the Underwriters have exercised their option to purchase all or any of the Option Shares, payment of the purchase price for and delivery of such Option Shares shall be made at the above-mentioned offices, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company, on each Date of Delivery as specified in the written (including by email) notice from the Representatives to the Company; provided, however, that if such option shall have been exercised on or before the fourth business day prior to the Closing Time, the Date of Delivery for such Option Shares shall be the Closing Time.

     Payment shall be made to the Company by wire or interbank transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company, against delivery to the Representatives of the Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters.

     (d) Denominations; Registration. The Initial Shares and the Option Shares, if any, shall be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Underwriters

may request in writing at least one full business day before the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be; provided, that any Shares in global form be registered in the name of Cede & Co.

          SECTION 3. Covenants. (A) Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with each of the Underwriters as follows:

     (a) Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will (i) prepare the Final Prospectus that complies with the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and which sets forth the aggregate number of Shares, the name of each Underwriter participating in the offering and the number of Shares that each severally has agreed to purchase, the name of each Underwriter, if any, acting as representative of the Underwriters in connection with the offering, the price at which the Shares are to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Company, any initial public offering price, any selling concession and re-allowance, and such other information as the Representatives and the Company deem appropriate in connection with the offering of the Shares and (ii) file all material required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time required by such Rule. The Company will promptly transmit copies of the Final Prospectus to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 and will furnish to the Underwriters as many copies of the Final Prospectus as the Underwriters shall reasonably request.

     (b) During the period when a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act (“Rule 173(a)”)), the Company will promptly advise the Representatives of (i) the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (ii) the transmittal to the Commission for filing of any supplement to the Final Prospectus or any document that would as a result thereof be incorporated by reference in the Final Prospectus, (iii) any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information relating thereto or to any document incorporated by reference therein, (iv) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, (v) any notice by the Commission pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) objecting to the use of the Registration Statement, and (vi) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or suspension and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

     (c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a)), any event occurs as a result of which the General Disclosure Package or the

16

Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the Commission, subject to paragraph (d) of this Section 3, such amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or such amendment or supplement which will effect such compliance and the Company will use its reasonable efforts to have any such amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement with respect to the Shares). Neither the Underwriters consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.

     (d) At any time when a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a)), the Company will give the Representatives notice of its intention to file any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus, whether pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or otherwise, will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such amendment or supplement or other documents proposed to be filed within a reasonable time in advance of filing, and will not file any such amendment or supplement or other documents in a form to which the Representatives shall reasonably object.

     (e) The Company has furnished or will, if requested, furnish to the Underwriters and the Underwriters’ counsel, without charge, conformed copies of the Original Registration Statement and of all amendments thereto, whether filed before or after such Registration Statement originally became effective (including exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated therein by reference); and the copies of the Original Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. So long as delivery of a Final Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, a notice referred to in Rule 173(a)) by the Underwriters or dealers may be required by the Securities Act, the Company will furnish as many copies of any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto, as the Underwriters may reasonably request; and the Final Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to each Underwriter will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T or required under Rule 424(e).

     (f) The Company shall use its reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Shares for offering and sale under the applicable securities

17

laws of such states in the United States as the Underwriters may reasonably designate and will maintain such qualification in effect as long as required in connection with the distribution of the Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

     (g) The Company intends to use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Shares in the manner to be indicated in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

     (h) The Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause the Shares to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or listed on a “national securities exchange” registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act.

     (i) Beginning on the date hereof and ending on, and including, the date that is 90 days after the date of the Final Prospectus, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of each of the Representatives: (i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with Common Stock, or file any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any of the foregoing (other than a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 under the Securities Act) or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement or any transaction that transfers in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with Common Stock, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) the Shares to be sold hereunder or the Notes to be sold in the Concurrent Offering and (B) Common Stock (or options to purchase Common Stock) to be issued pursuant to the Corporation’s 1988 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended, the 1998 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended, the 1994 Directors Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, the 2003 Employee Stock Incentive Plan or other employee compensation benefit plans or pursuant to currently outstanding options, warrants or rights existing on the date hereof and referred to in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus.

     (j) The Company shall cooperate with the Underwriters and use its reasonable efforts to permit the Shares to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of DTC.

18

     (k) The Company, during the period when a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a)), will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations.

     (B) Free Writing Prospectus Covenants. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Representatives is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.

          SECTION 4. Payment of Expenses.

     (a) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including (i) the preparation, printing, filing and distribution of any preliminary prospectus supplements, the Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus (including financial statements and any schedules or exhibits and any Incorporated Document), the Registration Statement, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, (ii) the preparation, printing and delivery to the Underwriters of this Agreement, the Shares, and such other documents as may be required in connection with the offer, purchase, sale, issuance or delivery of the Shares, (iii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the certificates for the Shares to the Underwriters, including any transfer taxes, any stamp or other duties payable upon the sale, issuance and delivery of the Shares to the Underwriters and any charges of DTC in connection therewith, (iv) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel, accountants and other advisors, (v) the qualification of the Shares under securities laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(f) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of the Blue Sky Survey and any supplement thereto, (vi) all costs and expenses related to review by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. of the Shares (including filing fees and the fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to review), (vii) the fees and expenses of any transfer agent or registrar for the Common Stock, and (viii) any costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the

19

Shares. It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section and Section 6 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on resale of any of the shares by them, and any promotional expenses connected with any offers they may make.

     (b) Termination of Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated by the Underwriters in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 or Section 8(a)(i) hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for all of their out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single counsel for the Underwriters incurred by it in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement.

          SECTION 5. Conditions of the Underwriters’ Obligations. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder are subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 1 hereof or in certificates of any officer of the Company delivered pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations hereunder, and to the following further conditions:

          SECTION 6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (1) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, the Rule 430B Information (or any amendment to the Registration Statement), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) arise out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the General Disclosure Package or in the Final Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, in each case, agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use in the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, the Rule 430B Information (or any amendment thereto), or any Issuer Free

23

Writing Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), and (ii) the Company shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense of any settlement or compromise of or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened litigation or any pending or threatened governmental agency investigation or proceeding if such settlement or compromise of or consent to entry of judgment with respect thereto is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except to the extent that such consent is not required pursuant to Section 6(d) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

     (b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses described in the indemnity contained in Section 6(a), but only with respect to untrue statements or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions made in the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, the 430B Information (or any amendment thereto), any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the General Disclosure Package, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information by any Underwriter consists of the statements set forth in (i) the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Shares and, under the heading “Underwriting”, (ii) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Shares, (iii) the second and third sentences in the third paragraph related to concessions and reallowances and (iv) the ninth and tenth paragraphs related to stabilization and over-allotments in any Statutory Prospectus and the Final Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.

     (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party or parties in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party or parties will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party or parties of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party or parties will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect, by written

24

notice delivered to such indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party, a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for such indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, in which event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party or parties to such indemnified party of the election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party or parties will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party or parties shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel representing the indemnified parties under subparagraph (a) of this Section 6 who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party or parties shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party or parties have authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). It is understood that all such fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party for which the indemnifying party is liable shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement or compromise of, or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

     (d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel payable pursuant to this Section 6, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment of the nature contemplated by clause (ii) of the proviso in Section 6(a) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid notice of request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment at least 30 days prior to such settlement

25

being entered into, and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment.

     (e) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (net of underwriting discounts and commissions paid to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Final Prospectus, bears to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Shares as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 6. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 6 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the

26

Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the aggregate number of Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto and not joint.

          SECTION 7. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive delivery of the Shares to the Underwriters.

          SECTION 8. Termination of Agreement.

     (a) Termination; General. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or in the international financial markets, or any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or any other governmental authority, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either federal or New York authorities.

27

     (b) Liabilities.

          SECTION 10. Default. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Shares agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the aggregate number of Shares specified to be purchased by them in Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased by all the remaining Underwriters) the Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate number of Shares that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right, but not the obligation, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Shares, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not complete such arrangements within such 24 hour period, then this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriters or the Company.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and to any nondefaulting Underwriters for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

          SECTION 11. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to

28

give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors and the controlling persons, affiliates and officers and directors referred to in Section 6 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors, and said controlling persons, affiliates and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Shares from the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

          SECTION 12. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of Shares contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of such offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Additionally, no Underwriter is advising the Company or any of its subsidiaries as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction with respect to the offering of the Shares or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Underwriter has advised or is advising the Company on other matters). Each Underwriter advises that it and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of securities and financial services and that it and its affiliates may enter into contractual relationships with purchasers or potential purchasers of the Company’s securities and that some of these services or relationships may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and need not be disclosed to the Company, unless otherwise required by law. The Company has consulted with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Underwriter shall have any responsibility or liability to the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company. The Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Underwriters for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that no Underwriter shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim.

          SECTION 13. Governing Law and Time. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH HEREIN, SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW YORK CITY TIME.

          SECTION 14. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

29

          SECTION 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

Upon any such surrender or adjustment,

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of the Applicable Procedures or customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Applicable Security.

Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date with respect to such Applicable Security (provided the conditions in Section 3.1(c) of this Supplemental Indenture have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery of such Applicable Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.1(c) of this Supplemental Indenture. Applicable Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article VIII of this Supplemental Indenture on or after the date of the delivery of such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs.

          A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Place of Payment in accordance with Fundamental Change Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, specifying:

     (1) if certificated Applicable Securities have been issued, the certificate number of the Applicable Security in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted,

21

     (2) the portion of the principal amount of the Applicable Security with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, which shall be $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, and

     (3) the principal amount, if any, of such Applicable Security which remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as the case may be, and which has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company.

          There shall be no purchase of any Applicable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Supplemental Indenture if the principal amount of the Applicable Securities has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the relevant Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

          Section 3.3 Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price. Prior to 11:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 9.3 of the Indenture) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Applicable Securities or portions thereof which are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of such Applicable Security or portion thereof on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, in accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture, then from and after such the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, such Applicable Security or portion thereof will cease to be Outstanding and interest on such Applicable Security or portion thereof will cease to accrue, whether or not such Applicable Security or portion thereof is delivered to the Trustee or any Paying Agent. Thereafter, all other rights of the Holder shall terminate, other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon delivery of such Applicable Security (together with any necessary endorsements).

          Section 3.4 Applicable Securities Purchased in Part. Any Applicable Security which is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the Place of Payment (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Applicable Security, without service charge, a new Applicable Security or Applicable Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Applicable Security so surrendered which is not purchased.

          The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.4, a portion of an Applicable Security, provided that the principal amount of such portion shall be $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Supplemental Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of an Applicable Security also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Applicable Security.

22

          Section 3.5 Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any cash that remains unclaimed as provided in paragraph 12 of the Applicable Securities, together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon (subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 of the Indenture), held by them for the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Supplemental Indenture exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Applicable Securities or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, whether as a result of withdrawal or otherwise, then promptly after the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon (subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 of the Indenture).

          Section 3.6 Covenant to Comply with Applicable Securities Laws upon Purchase of Applicable Securities. In connection with any offer to purchase or purchase of Applicable Securities under Article III of this Supplemental Indenture (provided that such offer or purchase constitutes an “Issuer Tender Offer” for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act, at the time of such offer or purchase), the Company shall to the extent applicable (i) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, (ii) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act, and (iii) otherwise comply with all Federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 3.1 of this Supplemental Indenture to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 3.1 of this Supplemental Indenture.

ARTICLE IV

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

          Section 4.1 Termination and Discharge of Company’s Obligations Under the Indenture. With respect to the Applicable Securities, Section 4.1 of the Indenture shall be amended to read as follows:

          “Section 4.1 Termination and Discharge of Company’s Obligations Under the Indenture. When (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee all Outstanding Applicable Securities (other than Applicable Securities replaced pursuant to Section 3.6 of this Indenture) for cancellation or (ii) all Outstanding Applicable Securities have become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or otherwise, and the Company or the Guarantor irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if the Paying Agent is not the Company or any of its Affiliates) or the Conversion Agent, as the case may be, cash sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all Outstanding Applicable Securities (other than Applicable Securities replaced pursuant to Section 3.6 of this Indenture) and any shares of Common Stock due in respect of converted Outstanding Applicable Securities, and if in either case the Company or the Guarantor pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 6.8 of this Indenture, cease to be of further effect. The Trustee shall join in the execution of a document prepared by the Company acknowledging satisfaction and

23

discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company.”

ARTICLE V

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

          Section 5.1 Defaults and Remedies. For purposes of the Applicable Securities, the following provisions of the Indenture shall be amended to read as follows:

     (a) Section 5.1 of the Indenture shall be amended to read as follows:

     “Section 5.1 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if:

     (1) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal amount at the Stated Maturity or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on any Applicable Security, in each case when the same becomes due and payable;

     (2) the Company defaults in payment of any interest under the Applicable Securities when due and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

     (3) the Company fails to deliver shares of Common Stock at the relevant Conversion Rate upon the exercise of a Holder’s conversion right in accordance with Article VIII of the Supplemental Indenture, and such failure continues for a period of 10 days following the applicable settlement date for such conversion;

     (4) the Company fails to comply with any of its agreements in the Applicable Securities, the Supplemental Indenture or this Indenture (other than those referred to in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above) and the Company fails to cure (or obtain a waiver of) such failure for 60 days after receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default as set forth in the third to last paragraph of this Section 5.1;

     (5) default by the Company or the Guarantor with respect to any Debt, whether such Debt now exists or is created later, which default results in such Debt becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, and the aggregate principal amount of such Debt so accelerated exceeds $50,000,000, and such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within a period of 10 days after receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default as set forth in the third to last paragraph of this Section 5.1; provided, however, that if any such default shall be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default by reason thereof shall not be deemed to have occurred;

     (6) the Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null and void or the Guarantor denies that it has any further liability under the Guarantee, or gives notice to such effect (other than by reason of the termination of the Supplemental Indenture or this Indenture or the release or termination of the Guarantee in accordance with its terms) and such condition shall have continued for a period of 30 days after receipt by the Company of written notice of such failure to the Company by the Trustee

24

or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Applicable Securities then Outstanding;

     (7) the Company or the Guarantor pursuant to or under or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

     (A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding;

     (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding or the commencement of any case against it;

     (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or

     (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

     (8) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

     (A) is for relief against the Company or the Guarantor in an involuntary case or proceeding, or adjudicates the Company or the Guarantor insolvent or bankrupt;

     (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or the Guarantor or for all or substantially all of its respective property; or

     (C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or the Guarantor;

     and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.

          A Default under clause (4) or clause (5) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Applicable Securities at the time Outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default, and the Company does not cure such Default (and such Default is not waived) within the time specified in clause (4) or clause (5) above after actual receipt of such notice. Any such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, to the extent elected by the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations set forth in Section 9.6 of this Indenture (as amended by Section 7.4 of the Supplemental Indenture) and for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, shall for the first 180 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive special interest on the Applicable Securities at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Applicable Securities (“Special Interest”). The Special Interest shall be paid semiannually in arrears, with the first semiannual payment due on the first regular Interest Payment Date following the date on

25

which the Special Interest begins to accrue on the Applicable Securities. If the Company so elects, Special Interest shall accrue on all outstanding Applicable Securities from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the reporting obligations set forth in Section 9.6 of this Indenture (as amended by Section 7.4 of the Supplemental Indenture) or a failure to comply with Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, first occurs to, but excluding, the 180th day thereafter (or any earlier date on which the Event of Default shall have been cured or waived). On such 180th day (or earlier, if the Event of Default relating to such reporting obligations or Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act is cured or waived prior to such 180th day), the Special Interest will cease to accrue. In addition, if the Event of Default relating to such reporting obligations or Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act has not been cured or waived prior to such 180th day, the Applicable Securities shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 5.2 of this Indenture. The provisions described in this paragraph shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. If the Company does not elect to pay Special Interest upon an Event of Default in accordance with this paragraph, the Applicable Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 5.2 of this Indenture.

          If the Company elects to pay Special Interest in connection with an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with reporting obligations set forth in Section 9.6 of this Indenture (as amended by Section 7.4 of this Supplemental Indenture) or for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company shall notify all Holders of the Applicable Securities and the Trustee and Paying Agent of the election on or before the close of business on the date on which the Event of Default first occurs.”

          (b) Section 5.2 of the Indenture shall be amended to read as follows:

          “Section 5.2 Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(7) or (8) of this Indenture in respect of the Company or the Guarantor) occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Applicable Securities at the time Outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of declaration on all the Applicable Securities to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal amount, and such accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(7) or (8) of this Indenture occurs in respect of the Company or the Guarantor and is continuing, the principal amount, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Applicable Securities shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Applicable Securities at the time Outstanding, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to any other Holder), may rescind any acceleration of the Applicable Securities and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of the principal amount, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, that have become due solely as a result of acceleration and if all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.8 of this Indenture have been paid. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.”

26

          (c) Section 5.3 of the Indenture shall be amended to read as follows:

          “Section 5.3 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(1) or (2) of this Indenture occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount owing with respect to the Applicable Securities and the amounts provided for in Section 6.8 of this Indenture.”

          (d) Section 5.4 of the Indenture shall be amended to read as follows:

          “Section 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Applicable Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal amount, interest or Fundamental Change Purchase Price 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 on the Company for the payment of any such amount) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal, interest or Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel or any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.8 of this Indenture) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

     (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.8 of this Indenture.

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

          (e) Section 5.7 of the Indenture shall be amended to read as follows:

          “Section 5.7 Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 5.2 of this Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Applicable Securities at the time Outstanding, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to any other Holder), may, on behalf of

27

all the Holders of the Applicable Securities, (a) waive an existing Default and its consequences except (1) an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(1), (2) or (3) of this Indenture or (2) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 8.2 of this Indenture cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected and (b) waive compliance by the Company with any restrictive provision of this Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and shall cease to exist, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. This Section 5.7 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.”

     (f) Section 5.10 of the Indenture shall be amended to read as follows:

     “Section 5.10 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal, interest or Fundamental Change Purchase Price in respect of the Applicable Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Applicable Securities, and to convert the Applicable Securities in accordance with Article VIII of the Supplemental Indenture, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert, shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the consent of such Holder.”

     (g) Section 5.11 of the Indenture shall be amended to read as follows:

     “Section 5.11 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

     FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.8 of this Indenture;

     SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Applicable Securities for the principal, interest or Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on the Applicable Securities; and

     THIRD: the balance, if any, to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee has collected any amounts pursuant to the Guarantee from the Guarantor, to the Guarantor.

          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 5.11. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.”

          (h) The second proviso to the first sentence of Section 6.5 of the Indenture shall be deleted.

          (i) The words “Section 5.1(4) or Section 5.1(5)” in Section 6.8(e) of the Indenture shall be replaced with “Section 5.1(7) or Section 5.1(8).”

28

          Section 5.2 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 5.2 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Indenture or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding. This Section 5.2 shall be in lieu of Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 315(e) is hereby expressly excluded from the Indenture, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.

ARTICLE VI

          “Section 9.1 Payment of Applicable Securities. The Company shall promptly make all cash payments in respect of the Applicable Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Applicable Securities or pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture. Any amounts to be given to the Trustee or Paying Agent shall be deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent by 11:30 a.m., New York City time on the payment date, by the Company. Principal, interest and Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be considered paid on the applicable date due if on such date (or, in the case of a Fundamental Change Purchase Date, on the Business Day following the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date) the Trustee or any Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, money sufficient to pay all such amounts then due.

          The Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on overdue amounts at the rate per annum set forth in paragraph 1 of the Applicable Securities, compounded semiannually, which interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was originally due

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency (other than a change in the location of the office of the Trustee). If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 1.5 of this Indenture.

          The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Applicable Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in Wilmington, Delaware or the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purposes.”

          Section 7.3 Money for Securities to Be Held in Trust; Unclaimed Moneys. For purposes of the Applicable Securities, Section 9.3 of the Indenture shall be amended to read as follows:

          “Section 9.3 Moneys for Securities To Be Held in Trust; Unclaimed Moneys. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Applicable Securities may be presented for purchase or payment (“Paying Agent”). The Company may have one or more additional paying agents. The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Paying Agent that is not also the Trustee. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture that relate to such Paying Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Paying Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 6.8 of this Indenture.

          The Company shall require each Paying Agent (that is not also the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the making of payments in respect of the Applicable Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. At any time during the continuance of any such default, the Paying Agent shall, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all money so held in trust. If

32

the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by it. Upon doing so, such Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such money.

          The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall return to the Company, or to the extent the Trustee collects any amount pursuant to the Guarantee from the Guarantor, to the Guarantor upon written request any money or securities (including shares of Common Stock) held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Applicable Securities that remains unclaimed for two years, subject to any mandatory provisions to the contrary under applicable unclaimed property law. After return to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company or the Guarantor for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person and the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall have no further liability to the Holders with respect to such money or securities for that period commencing after the return thereof.”

          Section 7.4 Reports by the Company. With respect to the Applicable Securities, Section 9.6 of the Indenture shall be amended by adding the following as the ultimate paragraph of Section 9.6 of the Indenture:

          “Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this Section 9.6 to file with the Trustee any such reports, information and documents if the Company files such reports, information and documents, as the case may be, with the Commission pursuant to the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) system or any successor system.”

          Section 7.5 Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture.

ARTICLE VIII

CONVERSION

          Section 8.1 Conversion Privilege. A Holder of an Applicable Security may convert such Applicable Security into Common Stock at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of an Applicable Security per $1,000 of principal amount thereof (the “Conversion Rate”) shall initially equal 101.0101, subject to adjustment as provided in this Article VIII.

          A Holder may convert a portion of the principal amount of an Applicable Security if the portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Supplemental

33

Indenture that apply to conversion of all of an Applicable Security also apply to conversion of a portion of an Applicable Security.

          An Applicable Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such security may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of Section 3.2 of this Supplemental Indenture.

          Section 8.2 Conversion Procedure. To convert an Applicable Security, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice set forth on the reverse of the Applicable Security (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Applicable Security to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent and (4) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required; provided that a Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall comply with the Applicable Procedures. The date on which the Holder satisfies all those requirements is the conversion date (the “Conversion Date”).

          On the third Business Day following the Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, through the Conversion Agent, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion and cash in lieu of any fractional share determined pursuant to Section 8.3 of this Supplemental Indenture. The Company shall determine the number of full shares of Common Stock and the amounts of cash with respect to any fractional share determined as described in Section 8.3 of this Supplemental Indenture and shall set forth such information in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Conversion Agent. The Conversion Agent shall have no duties under this paragraph unless and until it has received such certificate.

          Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if any calculation required in order to determine the number of shares of Common Stock the Company shall deliver in respect of any conversion under this Section 8.2 is based upon data that shall not be available to the Company on the Conversion Date (including, without limitation, in the event of a conversion immediately following a Spin-Off described in Section 8.8(b) of this Supplemental Indenture, or a tender offer or exchange offer described in Section 8.8(c) of this Supplemental Indenture), the Company shall delay the settlement of such conversion until the third Business Day after the relevant data becomes available.

          The Person in whose name the certificate is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record on and after the Conversion Date; provided, however, that no surrender of an Applicable Security on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date that such Applicable Security shall have been surrendered for conversion, as if the stock transfer books of

34

the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion of an Applicable Security, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Applicable Security.

          Persons holding beneficial interests in Global Securities may surrender an interest in an Applicable Security for conversion by means of a book-entry delivery in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary.

          No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on, or other distributions with respect to, any Common Stock except as provided in this Article VIII. On conversion of an Applicable Security, that portion of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, attributable to the period from the Issue Date of the Applicable Security or the most recent Interest Payment Date through the Conversion Date with respect to the converted Applicable Security shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of the Common Stock and cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional shares, in exchange for the Applicable Security being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof; and the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock (together with any such cash payment including cash in lieu of fractional shares) shall be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Applicable Security being converted through the Conversion Date, and the balance, if any, of such fair market value of such shares of Common Stock (and any such cash payment) shall be treated as issued in exchange for the principal amount of the Applicable Security being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.

          If a Holder converts more than one Applicable Security at the same time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the aggregate principal amount of the Applicable Securities converted.

          Upon surrender of an Applicable Security that is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Applicable Security in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Applicable Security surrendered. Upon conversion of a beneficial interest in a Global Security, the Trustee shall make or cause to be made a notation on such Global Security, and comply with the Applicable Procedures, to reflect a decrease in the aggregate amount of the Applicable Securities represented thereby.

          Holders of Applicable Securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date will receive the semiannual interest payable on such Applicable Securities on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion at any time after the close of business on such Regular Record Date. Applicable Securities surrendered for conversion by a Holder during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest that is to be paid on such Interest Payment Date on the Applicable Securities so converted; provided such payment shall not be required: (1) in connection with a conversion following the Regular Record Date next preceding the Stated Maturity; (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (3) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any such overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to the Applicable Securities.

35

          Section 8.3 Fractional Shares. The Company will not issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of an Applicable Security. Instead, the Company will deliver cash for the current market value of the fractional share. The current market value of a fractional share shall be determined, to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, by multiplying the per share Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock, on the last Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date, by the fractional amount and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.

          Section 8.4 Taxes on Conversion. If a Holder converts an Applicable Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any income tax withholding required by law or regulations.

          Section 8.5 Company to Provide Stock. The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Applicable Securities under this Article VIII, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of the Applicable Securities.

          All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Applicable Securities shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim created by the Company.

          The Company will use reasonable best efforts to comply with all Federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Applicable Securities, if any, and will use reasonable best efforts to list or cause to have quoted such shares of Common Stock on the NYSE or, if shares of Common Stock are then not listed on the NYSE, on such other United States national securities exchange or United States over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock is then principally listed or quoted.

          Section 8.6 Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. Except as set forth in Section 8.14 of this Supplemental Indenture, if, after the Issue Date of the Applicable Securities, the Company:

     (a) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock;

     (b) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

     (c) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Capital Stock (other than Common Stock or rights, warrants or options for its Capital Stock);

36

     (d) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or

     (e) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of its Capital Stock (other than rights, warrants or options for its Capital Stock),

then the conversion privilege and the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of an Applicable Security thereafter converted may receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other units of Capital Stock of the Company which such Holder would have owned immediately following such action if such Holder had converted the Applicable Security immediately prior to such action.

          The adjustment shall become effective, in the case of a dividend or distribution described in Section 8.6(a) or (c) above, immediately after the record date of such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in Section 8.6 (a) or (c) above is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of the date that is the earlier of (x) the public announcement of such non-payment or (y) the date the dividend or distribution was to have been paid or made, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

          The adjustment shall become effective, in the case of a subdivision, combination or classification described in Section 8.6(b), (d) or (e) above, immediately after the effective date in the case of such subdivision, combination or reclassification.

          Section 8.7 Adjustment for Rights Issue. Except as set forth in Sections 8.14 and 8.20 of this Supplemental Indenture, if after the Issue Date of the Applicable Securities, the Company distributes any rights, warrants, options or other securities to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date of such distribution, to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula below; provided that if such rights are exercisable only upon the occurrence of a triggering event, then the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted until such triggering event occurs:

R’ =	R (O + N)
	O + [(N x P)/M]

          where:

          R’ = the adjusted Conversion Rate.

          R = the current Conversion Rate.

          O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date for the distribution to which this Section 8.7 is being applied.

37

          N = the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to the distribution.

          P = the offering price per share of the additional shares.

          M = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for the issuance of such rights, warrants, options or other securities, subject to adjustment as described below.

          For purposes of this Section 8.7, in determining whether any rights, warrants, options or other securities entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase, or exercise a conversion right for, Common Stock, at less than the applicable Closing Sale Price of Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, warrants, options or other securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

          The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the rights, warrants, options or other securities to which this Section 8.7 applies. If any shares of Common Stock subject to such rights, warrants, options or other securities have not been issued when such rights, warrants, options or other securities expire (or to the extent such rights, warrants, options or other securities are redeemed by the Company, or otherwise cease to be convertible into, to be exchangeable for or to carry any such right to purchase shares), then the Conversion Rate shall promptly be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustment upon the issuance of such rights, warrants, options or other securities been made on the basis of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of such rights, warrants, options or other securities.

          No adjustment shall be made under this Section 8.7 if the application of the formula stated above in this Section 8.7 would result in a value of R’ that is equal to or less than the value of R.

          Section 8.8 Adjustment for Other Distributions.

          (a) Except as set forth in Section 8.14 of this Supplemental Indenture, if, after the Issue Date of the Applicable Securities, the Company distributes to all holders of its Common Stock any cash, assets (excluding any Capital Stock of a Subsidiary or business unit of the Company referred to in Section 8.8(b) below), or evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company (but excluding any dividends and distributions referred to in Sections 8.6 and 8.7 of this Supplemental Indenture), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

R’ =	R x M
	M – F

38

          where:

          R’ = the adjusted Conversion Rate.

          R = the current Conversion Rate.

          M = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

          F = the fair market value on the record date for the distribution to which this Section 8.8(a) applies of cash, assets (excluding any Capital Stock of a Subsidiary or business unit of the Company referred to in Section 8.8(b) below) or evidences of indebtedness to be distributed in respect of each share of Common Stock in the distribution to which this Section 8.8(a) applies (including, in the case of cash dividends or other cash distributions giving rise to an adjustment, all such cash distributed concurrently).

          An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this Section 8.8(a) shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the record date for such distribution. If any distribution described in this Section 8.8(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of the date that is the earlier of (x) the public announcement of such non-payment and (y) the date the distribution was to have been paid or made, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

          If, with respect to any distribution to which this Section 8.8(a) otherwise applies, the difference “M-F” as defined in the above formula is less than $1.00 or “F” is greater than “M”, then the adjustment provided by the preceding paragraphs in this Section 8.8(a) shall not be made and in lieu thereof, the following provision shall apply: from and after the record date for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the distribution, a Holder of an Applicable Security that converts such Applicable Security in accordance with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall upon such conversion be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock into which the Applicable Security is convertible, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets comprising the distribution that such Holder would have received if such Holder had converted the Applicable Security immediately prior to the record date for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the distribution.

          (b) Except as set forth in Section 8.14 of this Supplemental Indenture, if, after the Issue Date of the Applicable Securities, the Company pays a dividend or makes a distribution to all holders of Common Stock consisting of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

R’ = R x (1 + F/M)

          where:

          R’ = the adjusted Conversion Rate.

39

          R = the current Conversion Rate.

          M = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on and including the Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend Date.

          F = the fair market value of the securities distributed in respect of each share of Common Stock for which this Section 8.8(b) applies shall mean the number of securities distributed in respect of each share of Common Stock multiplied by the average of the Closing Sale Prices of those securities distributed over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on and including the Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend Date.

          An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this Section 8.8(b) shall become effective upon the opening of business on the day after the date fixed for determination of holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution in the Spin-Off. The Company shall not be required to calculate the conversion rate adjustment relating to any Spin-Off for the Applicable Securities until the third Business Day following the ten consecutive Trading Day period referred to above. If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 8.8(b) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of the date that is the earlier of (x) the public announcement of such non-payment and (y) the date the dividend or distribution was to have been paid or made, to the conversion rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

          (c) In the case of a tender or exchange offer (but not including any purchases pursuant to a stock buy-back program that is compliant with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act) made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock (excluding any transactions solely involving odd lots of shares of Common Stock) that has expired and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) requires the payment to stockholders of consideration per share of Common Stock in cash or other consideration having a fair market value that as of the Expiration Time (as defined below), exceeds the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula below.

R’ = R x	F + (SP x S’)
	SP x S

          where:

          R = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior the close of business on the Expiration Time;

          R’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;

          F = the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) for shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time;

40

          S’ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Expiration Time, excluding shares accepted for purchase or exchange pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer;

          S = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Expiration Time, including any tendered or exchanged shares; and

          SP = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on and including the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time.

          Any adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this Section 8.8(c) shall become effective upon the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. “Expiration Time” with respect to a tender offer or exchange offer, means the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law or court or governmental order 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.

          (d) For purposes of this Section 8.8, the Board of Directors shall determine fair market values for the purposes of this Section 8.8, which determination shall be conclusive.

          Section 8.9 When Adjustment May Be Deferred. No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate. Any adjustments that are not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment and all adjustments that are made and carried forward shall be taken in the aggregate in order to determine if the 1% threshold is met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all adjustments not previously made shall have effect and be made upon any conversion of the Applicable Securities.

          All calculations under this Article VIII shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, as the case may be.

          Section 8.10 When No Adjustment Required. For the avoidance of doubt, the Conversion Rate shall only be subject to adjustment for the circumstances and in the manner set forth in Sections 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.12 and 8.15 of this Supplemental Indenture and for no other event or circumstance.

          No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made for a transaction referred to in Section 8.6, 8.7 or 8.8 of this Supplemental Indenture if Holders may participate in such transaction on an as-converted basis, as a result of holding the Applicable Securities, at the same time as holders of Common Stock participate, without having to convert their Applicable Securities, as if such Holders held the full number of shares of Common Stock underlying their Applicable Securities; provided that an adjustment shall be made at such time as the Holders are no longer entitled to participate.

41

          No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest.

          No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value of the Common Stock.

          No adjustment will be made pursuant to this Article VIII that would result, through the application of two or more provisions hereof, in the duplication of any adjustment.

          Section 8.11 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a notice of the adjustment. The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent such notice and an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. Upon receipt by it of such notice, and at the written request of the Company, the Conversion Agent shall promptly mail such notice to Holders at the Company’s expense. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same to any Holder desiring inspection thereof.

          Section 8.12 Voluntary Increase. The Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased, the Company shall file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a notice of the increase, and the Conversion Agent will mail such notice to the Holders, at the Company’s expense. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect. The notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period it will be in effect.

          A voluntary increase of the Conversion Rate does not change or adjust the Conversion Rate otherwise in effect for purposes of Section 8.6, 8.7, 8.8 or 8.15 of this Supplemental Indenture.

          Section 8.13 Notice of Certain Transactions. If:

     (a) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.6, 8.7 or 8.8 of this Supplemental Indenture (unless no adjustment is to occur pursuant to Section 8.9 or 8.10 of this Supplemental Indenture);

     (b) the Company effects a Business Combination as described in Section 8.14; or

     (c) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

then the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a notice stating the proposed record date for a dividend or distribution or the proposed effective date of a subdivision, combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, transfer, liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall file and mail the notice at least 15 days before such date. Failure to file or mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of the transaction.

42

          Section 8.14 Business Combinations. In the case of: (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person; (ii) any sale, conveyance, transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to any Person; or (iii) any binding share exchange which reclassifies or changes the outstanding Common Stock (each event, a “Business Combination”); in each case as a result of which Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property, assets or cash (or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then from and after the effective date of the Business Combination, the consideration for the settlement of the conversion obligation shall be based on, and each share deliverable upon conversion in respect of any settlement shall consist of, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property, assets or cash (or any combination thereof) that such Holder of Applicable Securities would have owned immediately after such Business Combination if such Holder had converted the Applicable Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination (such consideration, the “Reference Property”). For purposes of the foregoing, where a Business Combination involves a transaction that causes the Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration based upon any form of stockholder election, the consideration shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. The Company shall not become a party to any Business Combination unless its terms are materially consistent with the foregoing provisions. In addition, if a Business Combination is subject to Section 7.1 of the Indenture, the provisions of such Section 7.1 shall also apply. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of the Applicable Securities to convert its Applicable Securities prior to the effective date of the Business Combination. For the avoidance of doubt, adjustments to the Conversion Rate set forth under Sections 8.6, 8.7 and 8.8 of this Supplemental Indenture shall not apply to distributions to the extent that the right to convert the Applicable Securities has been changed into the right to convert into Reference Property.

          Section 8.15 Adjustment to Shares Delivered Upon Conversion in Connection with a Make Whole Change of Control. (a) If a transaction described in clauses (1), (2) or (3) under the definition of “Change of Control” occurs (determined after giving effect to any exceptions or exclusions to the definition of Change of Control, but without regard to the proviso in clause (3) of the definition of “Change of Control”, a “Make Whole Change of Control”) and a Holder elects to convert its Applicable Securities in connection with such Make Whole Change of Control, the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate for the Applicable Securities surrendered for conversion if and as required below. The Company shall notify Holders and the Trustee as promptly as practicable following the date a Make Whole Change of Control becomes effective (the “Make Whole Change of Control Effective Date”) (but, in any event, within three Business Days after the effective date of such transaction). A conversion of Applicable Securities shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Make Whole Change of Control if the conversion notice complying with this Article VIII is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Make Whole Change of Control Effective Date and prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (or, in the case of an event that would have been a Change of Control but for the proviso in clause (3) of the definition of Change of Control, the 30th calendar day immediately following the Make Whole Change of Control Effective Date).

43

          (b) The number of additional shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the Make Whole Change of Control Table attached as Schedule A to this Supplemental Indenture, which is a part of this Supplemental Indenture, and is based on the Make Whole Change of Control Effective Date and the price paid, or deemed paid, per share of Common Stock in the Make Whole Change of Control (the “Make Whole Change of Control Stock Price”). If the holders of Common Stock receive only cash in a Make Whole Change of Control (other than with respect to appraisal and similar rights), the Make Whole Change of Control Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock. Otherwise, the Make Whole Change of Control Stock Price shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Make Whole Change of Control Effective Date.

          (c) The Make Whole Change of Control Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the Make Whole Change of Control Table in Schedule A to this Supplemental Indenture shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Applicable Securities is adjusted as set forth under Sections 8.6, 8.7, 8.8 or 8.12 of this Supplemental Indenture. The adjusted Make Whole Change of Control Stock Prices shall equal the Make Whole Change of Control Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to the adjustment multiplied by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Make Whole Change of Control Stock Price adjustment and (y) the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The Conversion Rate adjustment amounts set forth in the Make Whole Change of Control Table in Schedule A to this Supplemental Indenture shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Sections 8.6, 8.7, 8.8 and 8.12 of this Supplemental Indenture.

          (d) If the actual Make Whole Change of Control Stock Price or the Make Whole Change of Control Effective Date is not set forth in Make Whole Change of Control Table in Schedule A to this Supplemental Indenture, then:

          (i) if the actual Make Whole Change of Control Stock Price on the Make Whole Change of Control Effective Date is between two stock prices in such table or the actual Make Whole Change of Control Effective Date is between two effective dates in such table, the amount of the Conversion Rate adjustment shall be determined by straight-line interpolation between the adjustment amounts set forth for the higher and lower Make Whole Change of Control Stock Prices and the earlier and later Make Whole Change of Control Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

          (ii) if the actual Make Whole Change of Control Stock Price on the Make Whole Change of Control Effective Date exceeds $40.00 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Make Whole Change of Control Stock Prices as set forth in the column headings of such table), no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made; and

          (iii) if the actual Make Whole Change of Control Stock Price on the Make Whole Change of Control Effective Date is less than $8.25 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Make Whole Change of Control Stock

Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Applicable Securities pursuant to this Article VIII shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of common stock or preferred stock purchase rights, as the case may be (the “Rights”), if any, that all shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any shareholder rights agreement adopted by the Company, as the same may be amended from time to time (in each case, a “Rights Agreement”), whether or not such rights

45

have separated from the Common Stock at the time of such conversion; provided, that if such Rights Agreement requires that each share of Common Stock issued by the Company (including those that might be issued upon conversion of Applicable Securities) at any time prior to the distribution of separate certificates representing the Rights be entitled to receive such Rights, then, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in the Applicable Securities or this Article VIII, there shall not be any adjustment to the conversion privilege or Conversion Rate or any other term or provision of the Applicable Securities as a result of the issuance of Rights, the distribution of separate certificates representing the Rights, the exercise or redemption of such Rights in accordance with any such Rights Agreement, or the termination or invalidation of such Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this provision is intended to confer on the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Applicable Securities any right that is different than the rights to which all shares of Common Stock of the Company are entitled to receive.

AMR Corporation
American Airlines, Inc.
4333 Amon Carter Boulevard
Fort Worth, Texas 76155

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special counsel to AMR Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and American Airlines, Inc. (the “Guarantor”), in connection with (i) the issuance and sale by the Company of 48,484,849 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated September 22, 2009 (the “Common Stock Underwriting Agreement”), between the Company and the several underwriters named therein (the “Common Stock Underwriters”), (ii) the issuance and sale by the Company of $460,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated September 22, 2009, among the Company, the Guarantor and the several underwriters named therein and (iii) the issuance of an unconditional guarantee of the Notes (the “Guarantee”) by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee, dated as of September 28, 2009. Pursuant to the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement, the Common Stock Underwriters have the option to purchase from the Company up to 7,272,727 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”) to cover over-allotments. The Notes are being issued under the Indenture, dated as of February 1, 2004 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 28, 2009, between the Company and the Trustee (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-160646 and 333-160646-01) (the “Registration Statement”) of the Company and the Guarantor filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the Prospectus Supplements, dated September 22, 2009, relating to the Firm Shares, the Option Shares, the Notes, the Guarantee and the Conversion Shares.

     In rendering the opinions expressed below, (a) we have examined and relied on the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such agreements, documents and records of the Company and the Guarantor and such other

AMR Corporation
American Airlines, Inc. 2 September 28, 2009

instruments and certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company, the Guarantor and others as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of such opinions, (b) we have examined and relied as to factual matters upon, and have assumed the accuracy of, the statements made in the certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company, the Guarantor and others delivered to us and (c) we have made such investigations of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for such opinions. In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed, with your permission, without independent investigation or inquiry, (i) the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, (ii) the genuineness of all signatures on all documents that we examined, (iii) the conformity to authentic originals and completeness of documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or reproduction copies; (iv) the legal capacity of all natural persons executing documents; (v) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee, (vi) the enforceability of the Indenture against the Trustee and (vii) the due authentication of the Notes on behalf of the Trustee in the manner provided in the Indenture.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the assumptions, qualifications and limitations hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that:

     1. The Firm Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     2. When issued and delivered to and paid for by the Common Stock Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement, the Option Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     3. The Notes constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

     4. The Guarantee constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

     5. When issued and delivered upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     Our opinions set forth above are subject to the effects of (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, reorganization and moratorium laws, and other similar laws relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights or remedies generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding

AMR Corporation
American Airlines, Inc. 3 September 28, 2009

in equity or at law) and (iii) concepts of good faith, reasonableness and fair dealing, and standards of materiality.

     We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i) the laws of the State of New York and (ii) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and the reported cases interpreting those laws; in each case as currently in effect.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to each of the Company’s and the Guarantor’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on the date hereof and the incorporation of this opinion in the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Validity of Securities” in each of the Prospectus Supplements, dated September 22, 2009, relating to the Firm Shares, the Option Shares, the Notes, the Guarantee and the Conversion Shares. In giving this consent, we do not thereby concede that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Debevoise & Plimpton LLP
