Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     Purchase Agreement
     On September 9, 2008, Mylan Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Cash Convertible Notes Purchase Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch & Co. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as representatives of the several initial purchasers named therein, relating to the sale by the Company of up to $575 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.75% Cash Convertible Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”). A copy of the Cash Convertible Notes Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1.
     The Notes were sold through the initial purchasers to qualified institutional buyers, as defined in, and in reliance on, Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
     Indenture
     The Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture dated as of September 15, 2008 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company named therein acting as guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. A copy of the Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1. The Indenture includes a form of Note. The Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that currently guarantees the Company’s senior secured credit facilities.
     The Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $575 million and bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per year, accruing from September 15, 2008. The notes are convertible under certain circumstances into cash. The notes are not convertible into shares of Mylan common stock or any other securities. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning March 15, 2009. The Notes will mature on September 15, 2015, subject to earlier repurchase or cash conversion. The Notes have an initial conversion reference rate of 75.0751 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount (equivalent to an initial conversion reference price of approximately $13.32 per share), subject to adjustment. Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes (such as changes of control of the Company or the cessation of trading of the Company’s common stock), the holders of the Notes have the option to require the Company to repurchase the Notes. Additionally, the Company’s obligation to repay the Notes can be accelerated following the occurrence of certain events of default under the Indenture.
     Cash Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions

Table of Contents

     On September 9, 2008, concurrently with the sale of the Notes, the Company entered into cash convertible note hedge transactions, comprised of purchased cash-settled call options (the “Confirmation of OTC Convertible Note Hedge Transaction”) and warrant transactions (the “Confirmation of OTC Warrant Transaction” and together with the Confirmation of OTC Convertible Note Hedge Transaction, the “Confirmations”) with each of Merrill Lynch International, an affiliate of Merrill Lynch & Co., and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, each of which we refer to as a counterparty. On September 15, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment (each, an “Amendment”) to the Confirmation of OTC Warrant Transaction with each of Merrill Lynch International and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The net cost to the Company of these transactions was approximately $98.6 million.
     The Confirmation of OTC Convertible Note Hedge Transaction provides for purchased cash-settled call options that have an exercise price equal to the conversion price of the notes and will cover approximately 43.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to the anti-dilution adjustments for the Notes. The Confirmation of OTC Warrant Transaction provides for the purchase by the counterparties of approximately 43.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrants may not be exercised prior to the maturity of the Notes. These transactions are generally expected to have the economic effect on the Company of increasing the conversion reference price of the notes to approximately $20.00 per share.
     If the market price per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of cash conversion of any Notes is above the strike price of the purchased call options, the purchased call options will, in most cases, entitle the Company to receive from the counterparties in the aggregate the same amount of cash as it would be required to issue to the holder of the cash converted Notes in excess of the principal amount thereof. Additionally, if the market price of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise of the sold warrants exceeds the strike price of the sold warrants, the Company will owe the counterparties shares of its common stock.
     A copy of the Confirmation of OTC Convertible Note Hedge Transaction with each of Merrill Lynch International and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively. A copy of the Confirmation of OTC Warrant Transaction with each of Merrill Lynch International and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and 10.4, respectively. A copy of the Amendment to the Confirmation of OTC Warrant Transaction with each of Merrill Lynch International and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5 and 10.6, respectively.
     Amendment to 2007 Additional Confirmation of OTC Warrant Transaction
     On September 9, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment to each of the Confirmation of OTC Warrant Transaction (the “Confirmation Amendment”) and the Additional Confirmation of OTC Warrant Transaction (the “Additional Confirmation

Amendment”), each dated as of March 2, 2007, between the Company, Merrill Lynch International and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as agent, pursuant to which the maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company that could possibly be delivered upon settlement of the warrants under such agreements was reduced. Copies of the Warrant Amendment and the Additional Warrant Amendment are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.7 and 10.8, respectively.
     Calculation Agent Agreement
     In connection and concurrently with the execution of the Confirmations, the Company entered into a Calculation Agent Agreement (the “Calculation Agent Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Goldman Sachs International, pursuant to which Goldman Sachs International was appointed as calculation agent with respect to the Confirmations entered into with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. A copy of the Calculation Agent Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.9.
     The summary of each of the above described documents is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the related agreements, which are included as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
     The information provided in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.03.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
     On September 10, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of its offering of the Notes. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
     On September 15, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of its offering of the Notes. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

          (i) Integration. The Company agrees that it will not and will cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit any offer to buy, sell or make any offer or sale of, or otherwise negotiate in respect of, securities of the Company of any class if, as a result of the doctrine of “integration” referred to in Rule 502 of Regulation D, such offer or sale would render invalid (for the purpose of (i) the sale of the Securities by the Company to the Initial Purchasers, (ii) the resale of the offered Securities by the Initial Purchasers to Subsequent Purchasers or (iii) the resale of the Securities by such Subsequent Purchasers to others) the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof or by Rule 144A or by Regulation S thereunder or otherwise.
          (ii) Rule 144A Information.

-17-


 

          (iii) Restriction on Repurchases. Until the expiration of one year after the original issuance of the Securities, the Company will not, and will cause its affiliates (as such term is defined under Rule 144(a)(1) under the 1933 Act) not to, resell any Securities which are “restricted securities” (as such term is defined under Rule 144(a)(3) under the 1933 Act), whether as beneficial owner or otherwise (except as agent acting as a securities broker on behalf of and for the account of customers in the ordinary course of business in unsolicited broker’s transactions).
          (c) Qualified Institutional Buyer. Each Initial Purchaser severally and not jointly represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company that it is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the 1933 Act (an “Accredited Investor”).
          SECTION 7. Indemnification.
          (a) Indemnification of Initial Purchasers. The Company and each Guarantor jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D (each, an “Affiliate”), its selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:
          (i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary offering memorandum, the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Supplemental Offering Materials, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
          (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 7(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and
          (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Initial Purchaser through any Representative expressly for use in any preliminary offering memorandum, the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any Supplemental Offering Materials.
          (b) Indemnification of Company, Guarantors. Each Initial Purchaser severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantors, within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity

-18-


 

contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in any preliminary offering memorandum, the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or any Supplemental Offering Materials in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Initial Purchaser through any Representative expressly for use therein.
          (c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by Merrill Lynch, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section or Section 8 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
          (d) Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement 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.
          SECTION 8. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof 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, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers 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 Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers 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.

-19-


 

          The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors and the total underwriting discount received by the Initial Purchasers, bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities.
          The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers 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 Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
          The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
          Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities purchased and sold by it hereunder exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser 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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
          For purposes of this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Initial Purchaser’s Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors. The Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto and not joint.
          SECTION 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or the Guarantors, submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Initial Purchaser, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company or the Guarantors, and(ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

          SECTION 10. Termination of Agreement.
          (a) Termination; General. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, 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 the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case 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 or materially limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq Global System 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 National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other governmental authority, or (iv) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or with respect to Clearstream or Euroclear Systems in Europe, or (v) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal, New York or Pennsylvania 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, 7, 8 and 9 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.
          SECTION 11. Default by the Company.
          If the Company shall fail at Closing Time or at the date of delivery to sell the number of Securities that it is obligated to sell hereunder, then this Agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of any nondefaulting party; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 1, 4, 7, 8 and 9 shall remain in full force and effect. No action taken pursuant to this Section 11 shall relieve the Company from liability, if any, in respect of such default.
          SECTION 12. Default by One or More of the Initial Purchasers. If one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail at Closing Time or an Additional Closing Time to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representative(s) shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or any other initial purchasers, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representative(s) shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:
     (a) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased hereunder, each of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or

-21-


 

     (b) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser.
          No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of its default.
          In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Representatives or, in the case of an Additional Closing Time that is after the Closing Time, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Initial Purchasers to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant Option Notes, as the case may be, or the Company shall have the right to postpone Closing Time or the relevant Additional Closing Time, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Offering Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements.

For purposes of the foregoing, the term “tax treatment” is the purported or claimed federal income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the term “tax structure” includes any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed federal income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated hereby.

The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Initial Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, the Guarantors, or their respective stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Initial Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any Guarantor with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Guarantors on other matters) and no Initial Purchaser has any obligation to the Company or the Guarantors with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantors, and (e) the Initial Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting,

     Re:      Proposed Offering by Mylan Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     The undersigned, a securityholder and an executive officer and/or director of Mylan Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), understands that Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”) and Goldman, Sachs & Co. propose to enter into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Company providing for the offering of the Company’s cash convertible notes due 2015. In recognition of the benefit that such offering will confer upon the undersigned as a securityholder and/or an executive officer and/or director of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each initial purchaser to be named in the Purchase Agreement that, during a period of 90 days from the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Merrill Lynch, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, 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 dispose of or transfer any of the Company’s common stock or notes or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for the Company’s common stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or file, or cause to be filed, any registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”) or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of common stock, in cash or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if:
     (1) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or

D-1


 

     (2) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results or becomes aware that material news or a material event will occur during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period,
the restrictions imposed by this lock-up agreement (this “Lock-Up Agreement”) shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless Merrill Lynch waives, in writing, such extension.
     The undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that written notice of any extension of the Lock-Up Period pursuant to the previous paragraph will be delivered by Merrill Lynch to the Company (in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement) and that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have been given to, and received by, the undersigned. The undersigned further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement during the period from the date of this Lock-Up Agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period (as may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph) has expired.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of Merrill Lynch, (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, or (iii) as a distribution to members, limited partners or stockholders of the undersigned or to the undersigned’s “affiliates” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the 1933 Act) or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned; provided that (1) Merrill Lynch receives a signed Lock-Up Agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period from each donee, trustee, distributee or transferee, as the case may be; (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value; (3) such transfers are not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (other than reports on Form 5), or otherwise; and (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfer.
     For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
     The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.
     If the Purchase Agreement does not become effective, or if the Purchase Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated

D-2


 

prior to payment for and delivery of the notes to be sold thereunder, the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Lock-Up Agreement.
     The undersigned understands that Merrill Lynch is entering into the Purchase Agreement and proceeding with the offering in reliance upon this Lock-Up Agreement.

D-3


 

     This Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

The Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Registrar shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Registrar shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered Holder of any Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or Holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole Holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or any Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions between the Depositary and any Agent Member or between or among the Depositary, any such Agent Member and/or any Holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (1) prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or (2) impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.
     (c) Book Entry Provisions. The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.01(c), authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Securities that (1) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (2) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions and (3) shall bear legends substantially to the following effect:
     “UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS

AN INTEREST HEREIN. THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE AND, UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.”
     Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication.
     (a) The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to $575,000,000 aggregate principal amount, except as provided in Sections 2.07, 2.08, 2.11 and 2.18.
     (b) The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by one of its Officers. The signatures of any of the Officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.
     (c) Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.
     (d) No Security or Guarantee endorsed thereon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
     (e) The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $575,000,000 upon receipt of a Company Order. The Company Order shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated, shall provide that all such Securities will be represented by a Global Security and the date on which each original issue of Securities is to be authenticated.
     (f) The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent shall have the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

     Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent.
     (a) The Company shall maintain one or more offices or agencies where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (each, a “Registrar”), one or more offices or agencies where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, including upon cash conversion (each, a “Paying Agent”) and one or more offices or agencies where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company will at all times maintain a Paying Agent, Registrar and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. One of the Registrars (the “Primary Registrar”) shall keep a register of the Securities (the “Security Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. At the option of the Company, any payment of cash may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders.
     (b) The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, provided that the Agent may be an Affiliate of the Trustee. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands in any place required by this Indenture, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent (except for the purposes of Article 9).
     (c) The Company hereby initially designates The Bank of New York Mellon as Paying Agent, Primary Registrar and Securities Custodian, and designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as the office or agency of the Company for each of the aforesaid purposes and as the office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served.
     Section 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust.
     Unless otherwise specified herein, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the payment of principal of, interest on, or the Conversion Reference Value with respect to, the Securities, the Company shall deposit a sum sufficient to pay such principal, interest or Conversion Reference Value so becoming due. A Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders of Securities or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, interest on, or the Conversion Reference Value with respect to, the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) to make any such payment. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall, before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of, interest on, or the Conversion Reference Value with respect to, any Securities, segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund for the benefit of the applicable Holders. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (other than the Company) shall have no further liability for the money.
     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, interest on, or the Conversion Reference Value with respect to, any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, interest or Conversion Reference Value has become due and payable shall promptly be paid to the Company or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an un-

14


 

secured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will promptly be repaid to the Company.
     Section 2.05. [Reserved].
      Section 2.06. Lists of Holders of Securities.
     The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of Securities. The Company shall furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee (a) semiannually, not more than 10 days after each Regular Record Date, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of such Regular Record Date; and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content to that in subsection (a) hereof as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Primary Registrar, no such list need be furnished.
     Section 2.07. Transfer and Exchange.
     (a) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained below and in Section 2.13, when a Security is presented to a Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such Security for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met; provided, however, that every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form and, if applicable, a transfer certificate each substantially in the form included in Exhibit A, and completed in a manner satisfactory to the Registrar and duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto; provided that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.13(a), 4.02(d) or 10.06.
     (b) Neither the Company, any Registrar nor the Trustee shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities or portions thereof in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof (except, in the case of the purchase of a Security in part, the portion thereof not to be purchased).
     (c) All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

15


 

     (d) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.03 shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or exchange of Securities.
     (e) Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the registration of transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Security in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law.
     (f) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or other beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
     (g) In the case of every Security that bears or is required under this Section 2.07(g) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.07(g) (the “Restricted Securities”), such Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.07(g) (including the legend set forth below), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.07(g), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security.
     Until the later of the date (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) that is (1) the date that is one year after the Issue Date of the Securities and (2) such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable laws, any certificate evidencing any Security (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless (i) such Security has been transferred (or exchanged for registered securities) pursuant to a registration statement that was effective at the time of such transfer, (ii) such Security has been transferred pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or (iii) unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with notice in writing thereof to the Trustee):
THE NOTES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (A)(1) TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (2) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, (3) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE) OR (4) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH

16


 

ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED STATES.
     No transfer of any Security prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date shall be registered by the Registrar unless the applicable box on the completed Form of Assignment and Transfer (Exhibit A hereto) has been checked and, if such transfer is being made to an institutional accredited investor pursuant to clause (b) of the restricted securities legend on the Securities or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act pursuant to clause (c) of the restricted securities legend on the Securities, the transferor delivers to the Trustee and the Company any additional information or documents (including, if requested by the Company, legal opinions) as are reasonably requested by the Trustee or the Company so as to confirm that such transfer is being made in compliance with the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.07.
     Any Security (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Security for exchange to any Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.07(g), be exchanged for a new Security or Securities, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.07(g). The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing upon the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date and, if applicable, promptly after a registration statement with respect to the Securities has been declared effective under the Securities Act.
     (h) Following the one year anniversary of the Issue Date, any Security that is purchased or otherwise held by the Company or any affiliate (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) thereof may not be sold or otherwise transferred by the Company or such affiliate unless (1) such Security is sold or otherwise transferred to the Company or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company, (2) such transaction is registered under the Securities Act, or (3) such transaction is made pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act that results in such Security not being a “restricted security” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) in the hands of the acquirer thereof.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the period of one year after the Issue Date, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to, resell any of the Securities that constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 under the Securities Act that are held by any of them.
     (i) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 2.07 to the contrary, in the event Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) is amended to change the one-year holding period thereunder (or the corresponding period under any successor rule), from and after receipt by the Trustee of the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel provided for in this Section 2.07(i), (i) each reference in Section 2.07(g) to “one year” shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period and (ii) all corresponding references in the Securities (including the definition of Resale Restriction Termination Date) shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period, provided that such changes shall not become effective if they are otherwise prohibited by, or would otherwise cause a violation of, the then-applicable U.S. securities laws. The provisions of this Section 2.07(i) shall not be effective until such time as the Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate have been received by the Trustee hereunder. This Section 2.07(i) shall apply to successive amendments to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) changing the holding period thereunder.

     Section 2.08. Replacement Securities.
     (a) If (1) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or (2) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee, such security or indemnity, in each case, as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon a Company Request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a replacement Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and each Guarantor shall execute a replacement Guarantee.
     (b) If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the Company pursuant to Article 3, or cash converted pursuant to Article 4, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay, purchase or cash convert such Security, as the case may be.
     (c) Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section 2.08, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and the Trustee) in connection therewith.
     (d) Every new Security and Guarantee issued pursuant to this Section 2.08 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and each Guarantor, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.
     (e) The provisions of this Section 2.08 are (to the extent lawful) exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.
     Section 2.09. Outstanding Securities.
     (a) Securities outstanding (“Outstanding”) at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee, except for those canceled by it, those purchased pursuant to Article 3, those cash converted pursuant to Article 4, those delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or surrendered for transfer or exchange and those described in this Section 2.09 as not Outstanding.
     (b) If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, such replaced Security ceases to be Outstanding unless the Company receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.
     (c) If a Paying Agent holds in respect of the Outstanding Securities on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Final Maturity Date or any date of any cash conversion money sufficient to pay the principal of or Conversion Reference Value with respect to and accrued interest on Securities (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, Final Maturity Date or date of cash conversion, as the case may be, such Securities (or portions thereof, as the case may be) shall cease to be Outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.

18


 

     (d) Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 2.10, a Security does not cease to be Outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.
     Section 2.10. Treasury Securities.
     In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, notice, direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or by any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded, except that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, notice, direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.
     Section 2.11. Temporary Securities.
     Until Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company with the consent of the Trustee considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities representing an equal principal amount of Securities. The temporary Securities will be exchanged for Definitive Securities in accordance with Sections 2.07 and 2.13 hereof. Until so exchanged, temporary Securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the Definitive Securities.
     Section 2.12. Cancellation.
     The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, purchase, payment or cash conversion. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel, in accordance with its standard procedures, all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, purchase, payment, cash conversion or cancellation and shall dispose of the canceled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures or deliver the canceled Securities to the Company upon request. All Securities which are purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Final Maturity Date pursuant to Article 3 shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company may not hold or resell such Securities or issue any new Securities to replace any such Securities or any Securities that any Holder has cash converted pursuant to Article 4. The Trustee shall maintain a record of all canceled Securities. The Trustee shall provide the Company a list of all Securities that have been canceled from time to time as requested by the Company in writing.
     Section 2.13. Legend; Additional Transfer and Exchange Requirements.
     (a) A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is issued in exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a Security to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Securities unless and until such Security has been registered in the name of such Person. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with this Section 2.13.

19


 

     (b) The provisions below shall apply only to Global Securities:
     (1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for purposes of this Indenture.
     (2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, a Global Security shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Security registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part shall be registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof; provided that a Global Security may be exchanged for Securities registered in the names of any person designated by the Depositary in the event that (A) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or such Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and in either case a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after receiving such notice or becoming aware that the Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency,” (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities or (C) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee and the Primary Registrar an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be so exchanged as directed by the Depositary. Any Security issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global Security; provided, however, that any such Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security.
     (3) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof that are not issued as a Global Security shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have a principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee or the Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee and upon such Global Security. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.
     (4) Subject to clause (6) of this Section 2.13(b), the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.
     (5) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (2) of this Section 2.13(b), the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.
     (6) Neither Agent Members nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the

20


 

Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.
     (7) At such time as all interests in a Global Security have been converted, canceled or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, such Global Security shall, upon receipt thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, subject to Section 2.12 of this Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Security is converted, canceled or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Security shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.
     Section 2.14. CUSIP Numbers.
     The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers in a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers.
     Section 2.15. Calculations.
     Except as otherwise specifically stated herein or in the Securities, all calculations to be made in respect of the Securities shall be the obligation of the Company. All calculations made by the Company or its agent as contemplated pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Securities shall be made in good faith and be final and binding on the Holders absent manifest error. The Company shall provide a schedule of calculations to the Trustee upon the Trustee’s request, and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the accuracy of the calculations by the Company without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward calculations made by the Company to any Holder of Securities upon request.
     Section 2.16. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
     Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on the Stated Maturity of such interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment.
     Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the Stated Maturity of such interest, and interest on such defaulted interest at the then applicable interest

21


 

rate borne by the Securities, to the extent lawful (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in subsection (a) or (b) below:
     (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date (not less than 20 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the “Special Payment Date”), and on the date of payment the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the Special Payment Date, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this subsection provided. There upon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the Special Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of such Special Record Date. Unless the Company issues a press release to the same effect, in the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date or notify in such other manner as the Trustee determines, including in accordance with any Applicable Procedures. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Payment Date therefor having been so mailed or otherwise conveyed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following paragraph (b).
     (b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any national securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by this Indenture not inconsistent with the requirements of such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.16, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.
     Section 2.17. Computation of Interest.
     Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
     Section 2.18. Deemed Removal of Restricted Securities Legend; Unrestricted CUSIP.
     At any time on or after the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the Company shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to remove the restricted securities legend on any Security provided

22


 

for by Section 2.07(g) by delivering a certificate to the Trustee substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto. Upon receipt of such certificate by the Trustee, the restricted securities legend on any such Securities shall be deemed removed and an unrestricted CUSIP number shall be deemed substituted for the restricted CUSIP number thereon.
ARTICLE 3

     Section 3.01. Purchase of Securities by the Company for Cash at Option of the Holder upon a Fundamental Change.
     (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Final Maturity Date, each Holder of a Security shall have the right, at the option of the Holder, to require the Company to purchase for cash in whole or in part (in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof) the Securities of such Holder at the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on the date specified by the Company that is not less than 30 days and not more than 45 days after the date of the Issuer Fundamental Change Notice (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”).

The Issuer Fundamental Change Notice shall include the form of a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice (defined below) to be completed by the Holder and shall state:
     (1) the events causing such Fundamental Change;

23


 

     (10) the procedures that the Holder must follow to exercise rights under this Section 3.01;
     (11) the procedures for withdrawing a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice;
     (12) that, unless the Company fails to pay such Fundamental Change Purchase Price, Securities covered by any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue on and after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date; and
     (13) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number of the Securities.
     At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give such Issuer Fundamental Change Notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that, in all cases, the text of such Issuer Fundamental Change Notice shall be prepared by the Company. In connection with the delivery of the Issuer Fundamental Change Notice to the Holders, the Company shall publish a notice containing substantially the same information that is required in the Issuer Fundamental Change Notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or publish information on a website of the Company or through such other public medium the Company may use at that time. If any of the Securities is in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the Applicable Procedures relating to the purchase of Global Securities.
     (c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in Section 3.01(a) upon delivery of a written notice (which shall be in substantially the form set forth in the form of Security attached as Exhibit A under the heading “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice” and which may be delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures) of the exercise of such rights (a “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice”) to the Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law.
     (1) The Fundamental Change Purchase Notice shall state: (A) if the Securities are in certificated form, the certificate numbers of the Securities which the Holder will deliver to be purchased (or, if the Security is held in global form, any other items required to comply with the Applicable Procedures), (B) the portion of the principal amount of the Securities which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion must be a principal amount of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof and (C) that such Security shall be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Securities and in this Indenture.
     (2) The delivery of a Security for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been timely delivered to any Paying Agent and not validly withdrawn prior to, on or after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of such Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price therefor.
     (3) The Company shall only be obliged to purchase, pursuant to this Section 3.01, a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security.

24


 

     (4) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to a Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.01(c) shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in whole or in a portion thereof that is a principal amount of $1,000 or in an integral multiple thereof at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.02(b).
     (5) A Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or written withdrawal thereof.
     (6) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice shall be delivered or withdrawn and such Securities shall be surrendered or delivered for purchase in accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.
     Section 3.02. Effect of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.
     (a) Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of a properly completed Fundamental Change Purchase Notice from a Holder, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in Section 3.02(b)) thereafter be entitled to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Security. Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of (1) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided that the conditions in Section 3.01 have been satisfied) and (2) the time of delivery of such Security to a Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.01(c). Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be cash converted in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 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 in accordance with Section 3.02(b) with respect to the Securities to be cash converted.
     (b) A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice (which may be delivered by mail, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Applicable Procedures) of withdrawal delivered by the Holder to a Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, specifying (1) the principal amount of the Security or portion thereof (which must be a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, (2) if the Securities are in certificated form, the certificate numbers of the Security being withdrawn in whole or in part and (3) the portion of the principal amount of the Security that will remain subject to the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, which portion must be a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice shall be withdrawn in accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.
     Section 3.03. Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price.
     (a) On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or if the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on or after such Funda-

25


 

mental Change Purchase Date), sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
     (b) If a Paying Agent or the Trustee holds on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date in accordance with the terms hereof an amount of money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Security (or portion thereof) for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture then, immediately following the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date, whether or not the Security is delivered to the Paying Agent for purchase, such Security shall cease to be outstanding, interest, shall cease to accrue, and the rights of the Holder in respect of the Security shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon delivery of the Security as aforesaid).
     (c) The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture.
     (d) If a Fundamental Change Purchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, then interest on the Securities payable on such Interest Payment Date, together with the interest due on the Securities to, but excluding, such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, will be payable to the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date.
     Section 3.04. Repayment to the Company.
     To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.03 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date the Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess cash to the Company, or if such money is then held by the Company in trust, it shall be discharged from the trust.
     Section 3.05. Securities Purchased in Part.
     Any Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of a Paying Agent, and promptly after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested by such Holder (which must be equal to $1,000 principal amount or any integral multiple thereof), in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered that is not purchased.
     Section 3.06. Compliance with Securities Laws upon Purchase of Securities.
     In connection with any offer to purchase Securities under Section 3.01, the Company shall (a) comply with the provisions of the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act which may then be applicable, (b) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor or similar schedule, form or report) if required under the Exchange Act, and (c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with such offer to purchase or purchase of Securities, all so as to permit the rights of the Holders and obligations of the Company under Sections 3.01 through 3.04 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified therein. To the extent that compliance with any such laws, rules and regulations would result in

26


 

a conflict with any of the terms hereof, this Indenture is hereby modified to the extent required for the Company to comply with such laws, rules and regulations.
     Section 3.07. Purchase of Securities in Open Market.
     The Company may purchase Securities in the open market or by tender at any price or pursuant to private agreements. The Company shall surrender any Security purchased by the Company pursuant to this Article 3 to the Trustee for cancellation. Any Securities surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation may not be reissued or resold by the Company and will be canceled promptly in accordance with Section 2.12.
ARTICLE 4
CASH CONVERSION
     Section 4.01. Cash Conversion Privilege and Conversion Reference Rate.
     (a) Any Security or portion thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount may be cash converted by the Holder thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Article 4. Upon cash conversion, Holders shall be entitled to receive the amount of cash determined in the manner provided in Section 4.12. Securities may be cash converted prior to the close of business on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date at the Conversion Reference Rate in effect at the time of such conversion only under the following circumstances:
     (1) on any Business Day in any calendar quarter commencing at any time after December 31, 2008, and only during such calendar quarter, if, as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the Closing Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days in the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of such preceding calendar quarter was more than 130% of the applicable Conversion Reference Price on the last day of such preceding calendar quarter;
     (2) on any Business Day during the five Business Day period after any five consecutive Trading Day period in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, as determined by the Trustee following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures described in Section 4.01(b), for each Trading Day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock on such day and the then applicable Conversion Reference Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Securities.
     (3) if the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock any rights entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 45 days of such distribution, Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock, at less than, or having a conversion price per share less than, the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution;
     (4) if the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock assets, cash, debt securities or rights to purchase the Company’s securities, which distribution has a per share value as determined by the Board of Directors exceeding 15% of the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution;

27


 

     (5) if the Company is a party to any transaction or event (including any consolidation, merger or binding share exchange, other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination) that is not otherwise a Fundamental Change pursuant to which all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property (provided that the Securities shall not become cash convertible by reason of a merger, consolidation or other transaction effected by the Company with one of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries for the purpose of changing the Company’s state of incorporation or organization to any other state within the United States or the District of Columbia);
     (6) if a Fundamental Change occurs; or
     (7) at any time during the period beginning on June 15, 2015 and ending at the close of business on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date.
     (b) The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Securities and whether the Securities are cash convertible pursuant to clause (2) of Section 4.01(a) unless the Company has requested such determination and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder of the Securities provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities would be less than 98% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock and the then applicable Conversion Reference Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Securities. At such time, the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Securities beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities is greater than 98% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock and the then applicable Conversion Reference Rate per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities.
     (c) In the case of a distribution contemplated by clause (3) or (4) of Section 4.01(a), the Company shall notify Holders and the Trustee at least 35 days prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution (the “Distribution Notice”). Once the Company has given the Distribution Notice, Holders may surrender their Securities for cash conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the ex-dividend date or the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place. In the event of a distribution contemplated by clause (3) or (4) of Section 4.01(a), Holders may not cash convert the Securities if the Holders will otherwise participate in such distribution on an “as converted” basis (i.e., as though such Holder had exchanged each $1,000 principal amount of its Securities immediately prior to the record date for such distribution for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the then applicable Conversion Reference Rate). “ex-dividend date” is the first date upon which a sale of the Common Stock does not automatically transfer the right to receive the relevant distribution from the seller of the Common Stock to its buyer. The Company will provide written notice to the Paying Agent as soon as reasonably practicable of any anticipated or actual event or transaction that will cause or causes the Securities to become cash convertible pursuant to clauses (3) or (4) of Section 4.01(a).
     (d) In the case of a transaction contemplated by clause (5) of Section 4.01(a), the Company will notify Holders and the Trustee as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction (but in no event less than 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction). Holders may surrender Securities for cash conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction until the earlier of the date which is 15 days after the actual effective date of such transaction or the date of the Company’s announcement that such transaction will not take place.

28


 

     (e) In the case of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide notice thereof (a “Fundamental Change Conversion Notice”) to the Holders of Securities and the Trustee not more than 10 Business Days after the date that is the Fundamental Change Effective Date. Holders may surrender Securities for cash conversion at any time after receipt of such notice and until the close of business on the Trading Day prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
     (f) The cash conversion rights pursuant to this Article 4 shall commence on the Issue Date and expire at the close of business on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date, but shall be exercisable only during the time periods specified with respect to each circumstance pursuant to which the Securities become cash convertible, subject, in the case of cash conversion of any Global Security, to any Applicable Procedures.
     (g) Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered may not be surrendered for cash conversion pursuant to this Article 4 prior to a valid withdrawal of such Fundamental Change Notice, in accordance with the provisions of Article 3.
     (h) Provisions of this Indenture that apply to cash conversion of all of a Security also apply to cash conversion of a portion of a Security.
     (i) The Conversion Reference Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 4.01(j) and Section 4.06.
     (j) If a Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Final Maturity Date as a result of a transaction described in clauses (1), (2) or (4) of the definition of the term “Change of Control” and a Holder elects to cash convert its Securities in connection with such transaction, the Company shall pay a “Make Whole Premium” if and as required by the below by increasing the applicable Conversion Reference Rate for the Securities surrendered for cash conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock as provided in this Section 4.01(j) (the “Additional Shares”). A cash conversion of Securities shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such a transaction if the notice of cash conversion is received by the Paying Agent from and including the Fundamental Change Effective Date and prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
     The number of Additional Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Securities constituting the Make Whole Premium, if any, shall be determined by reference to the table below and shall be based on the date on which the Fundamental Change Effective Date occurs and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid, or deemed to be paid, per share of Common Stock in such transaction. If holders of Common Stock receive only cash in the Fundamental Change transaction, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for each of the ten consecutive Trading Days prior to but excluding the Fundamental Change Effective Date.
     The following table sets forth the Additional Share amounts, if any, by which the applicable Conversion Reference Rate shall be increased for each Stock Price and Fundamental Change Effective Date.

     If the actual Stock Price or Fundamental Change Effective Date is not set forth in the table above, then:
     (i) if the actual Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Stock Price amounts in the table or the actual Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Fundamental Change Effective Dates in the table, the Additional Share amounts will be determined by a straightline interpolation between the Additional Share amounts set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the two Fundamental Change Effective Dates on the table based on a 365-day year;
     (ii) if the actual Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date exceeds $70.00 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no adjustment to the Conversion Reference Rate shall be made; and
     (iii) if the actual Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date is less than $11.10 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no adjustment to the Conversion Reference Rate shall be made.
     The Stock Prices set forth in the first column of the table above and in clauses (ii) and (iii) above will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Reference Rate of the Securities is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Reference Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Reference Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Share amounts set forth in the table above will be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Reference Rate as set forth in Section 4.06 hereof.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Reference Rate exceed 90.0900 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Reference Rate as set forth in subsections (a) through (e) of Section 4.06 hereof.
     Section 4.02. Conversion Procedure.
     (a) To cash convert a Security, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the cash conversion notice on the back of the Security (which shall be substantially in the form set forth in the form of Security attached as Exhibit A under the heading “Cash Conversion Notice”) and deliver such notice to the Paying Agent, (2) surrender the Security to the Paying Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Paying Agent, (4) pay an amount equal to the interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date if and as required by Section 4.02(c) and (5) pay all transfer or similar taxes required in connection therewith. The date on which the Holder of a Security satisfies all of the foregoing requirements is the “Cash Conversion Trigger Date” with respect to such Security. Upon the cash conversion of a Security, the Company shall deliver cash in the amounts determined in accordance with Section 4.12 which shall be owing upon such cash conversion as promptly as practicable after the applicable Conversion Reference Period but in any event not later than the third Business Day following

30


 

the last Trading Day of such Conversion Reference Period. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, such Securities shall be surrendered in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary as in effect from time to time.
     (b) A Holder shall not be entitled to convert Securities into shares of Common Stock or any other security, nor shall a Holder be entitled to any rights as a holder of Common Stock.
     (c) Holders of Securities surrendered for cash conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date will receive the semiannual interest payable on such Securities on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cash conversion of such Securities, and such interest shall be payable on the corresponding Interest Payment Date to the Holder of the Security as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date. Upon surrender of any such Securities for cash conversion after the close of business on such Regular Record Date, such Securities shall also be accompanied by payment by the Holders of such Securities in funds to the Paying Agent acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such corresponding Interest Payment Date; provided that no such payment need be made: (1) in connection with a cash conversion following the Regular Record Date preceding the Final Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the first Scheduled Trading Day following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (3) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of cash conversion with respect to such Security. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.02(c), no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued and unpaid interest on a cash converted Security. Accrued and unpaid interest shall be deemed paid in full, rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited, upon payment of the cash amount due upon conversion pursuant to Section 4.02(a). The Company shall not be required to cash convert any Securities which are surrendered for cash conversion without payment of interest as required by this Section 4.02(c).
     (d) In the case of any Security which is cash converted in part only, upon such cash conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, without service charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Security.

     Section 4.04. [Reserved].
     Section 4.05. [Reserved].
     Section 4.06. Adjustment of Conversion Reference Rate.
     The Conversion Reference Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
          (a) If the Company issues Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Reference Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
           
  CR1 =     CR0 x OS1
 
OS0
     
     where

31


 

  CR0 =   the Conversion Reference Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event
 
  CR1 =   the new Conversion Reference Rate in effect taking such event into account
 
  OS0 =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event
 
  OS1 =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.06(a) shall become effective on the date that is immediately after (x) the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution or (y) the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this clause Section 4.06(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Reference Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Reference Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
     (b) If the Company issues to all holders of Common Stock any rights, warrants, options or other securities entitling them for a period of not more than 45 days after the date of issuance thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, or if the Company issues to all holders of Common Stock securities convertible into Common Stock for a period of not more than 45 days after the date of issuance thereof, in either case at an exercise price per share of Common Stock or a conversion reference price per share of Common Stock less than the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Reference Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
           
  CR1 =     CR0 x (OS0 + X)
 
(OS0 + Y)
     
     where
  CR0 =   the Conversion Reference Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event
 
  CR1 =   the new Conversion Reference Rate taking such event into account
 
  OS0 =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event
 
  X =   the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities
 
  Y =   the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities and (B) the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for the issuance of such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities.
For purposes of this Section 4.06(b), in determining whether any rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase, or exercise a

32


 

conversion right for, Common Stock at less than the applicable Closing Price of the Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible 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 of the Company. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.06(b) shall become effective on the date that is immediately after the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities. If any right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security described in this Section 4.06(b) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Conversion Reference Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Reference Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security had not been so issued.
     (c) If the Company distributes capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company to all holders of Common Stock, excluding:
     (1) dividends, distributions, rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities referred to in Section 4.06(a) or (b) above,
     (2) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash, and
     (3) Spin-Offs described below in this Section 4.06(c),
     then the Conversion Reference Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
           
  CR1 =     CR0 x SP0
 
(SP0 – FMV)
     
     where
  CR0 =   the Conversion Reference Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event
 
  CR1 =   the new Conversion Reference Rate taking such event into account
 
  SP0 =   the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution
 
  FMV =   the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the earlier of the record date or the ex-dividend date for such distribution.
An adjustment to the Conversion Reference Rate made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.06(c) shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the ex-dividend date for such distribution.
     If the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Com-

33


 

pany (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Reference Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the date fixed for determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution will be adjusted based on the following formula:
           
  CR1 =     CR0 x (FMV0 + MP0)
 
MP0
     
     where
  CR0 =   the Conversion Reference Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event
 
  CR1 =   the new Conversion Reference Rate taking such event into account
 
  FMV0 =   the average of the Closing Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off
 
  MP0 =   the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off.
     An adjustment to the Conversion Reference Rate made pursuant to the foregoing paragraph will occur on the 10th Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that for any cash conversion with respect to any Security that has a Cash Conversion Trigger Date within the 10 Trading Days from and including the effective date of any Spin-Off, the Conversion Reference Rate for such Security shall be adjusted based on the number of Trading Days between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the Cash Conversion Trigger Date with respect to such Security.
     If any such dividend or distribution described in this Section 4.06(c) is declared but not paid or made, the new Conversion Reference Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Reference Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
     (d) If the Company pays or makes any dividend or distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Reference Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
           
  CR1 =     CR0 x SP0
 
(SP0 – C)
     
     where
  CR0 =   the Conversion Reference Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event
 
  CR1 =   the new Conversion Reference Rate taking such event into account
 
  SP0 =   the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution

34


 

  C =   the amount in cash per share of Common Stock that the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock.
     An adjustment to the Conversion Reference Rate made pursuant to this Section 4.06(d) shall become effective on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 4.06(d) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Reference Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Reference Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
     (e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”), the Conversion Reference Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
             
   
  CR1 =     CR0 x (AC + (SP1 x OS1))
 
SP1 x OS0
     
     where
  CR0 =   the Conversion Reference Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event
 
  CR1 =   the new Conversion Reference Rate taking such event into account
 
  AC =   the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) paid or payable for Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer
 
  OS0 =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires
 
  OS1 =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares pursuant to such tender or exchange offer)
 
  SP1 =   the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.
If the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Reference Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Reference Rate will be made.
     Any adjustment to the Conversion Reference Rate made pursuant to this Section 4.06(e) shall become effective on the date immediately following the determination of the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock for purposes of SP1 above. If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such pur-

35


 

chases are rescinded, the new Conversion Reference Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Reference Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.
     (f) [Reserved].
     (g) In addition to the adjustments pursuant to clauses (a) through (e) above, the Company may increase the Conversion Reference Rate in order to avoid or diminish any United States federal income tax to holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of capital shares (or rights to acquire Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for United States federal income tax purposes. The Company may also, from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, increase the Conversion Reference Rate by any amount for any period if the Company has determined that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company. If the Company makes such determination, it will be conclusive and the Company will mail to Holders of the Securities a notice of the increased Conversion Reference Rate and the period during which it will be in effect at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Reference Rate takes effect in accordance with applicable law.
     (h) If the Company has in effect a rights plan while any Securities remain outstanding, and if the rights provided for in the rights plan adopted by the Company have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement, the Conversion Reference Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed to all holders of Common Stock, capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property pursuant to Section 4.06(c) above, subject to readjustment of the Conversion Reference Rate upon the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the rights to be the Conversion Reference Rate that would be in effect had such separation not occurred.
     (i) For purposes of this Section 4.06, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
     Section 4.07. No Adjustment.
     (a) The Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Reference Rate in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.06 if Holders of the Securities are permitted to participate, on an as-converted basis (i.e., as though each Holder had exchanged each $1,000 principal amount of its Securities immediately prior to the record date of or the date to determine the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution or other transaction for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Reference Rate at such time), in the transactions described in Section 4.06.
     (b) No adjustment in the Conversion Reference Rate shall be required to be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Reference Price. If the adjustment is not made because the adjustment does not change the Conversion Reference Price by at least 1%, then the adjustment that is not made will be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. All required calculations will be made to the nearest cent or 1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all adjustments not previously made shall have effect with respect to any cash conversion of Securities that is made prior to the time such adjustment is made, as if such adjustment had been made.

36


 

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in addition to any other events set forth herein on account of which no adjustment to the Conversion Reference Rate shall be made, the applicable Conversion Reference Rate shall not be adjusted for: (i) the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Stock under any plan; (ii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan, employee agreement or arrangement or program of the Company; (iii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the Securities were first issued; (iv) a change in the par value of the Common Stock; (v) accumulated and unpaid dividends or distributions; and (vi) as a result of a tender offer solely to holders of fewer than 100 shares of Common Stock.
     (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.07 to the contrary, in no event shall the Conversion Reference Rate be adjusted so that the Conversion Reference Price would be less than $0.01.
     Section 4.08. Notice of Adjustment.
     Whenever the Conversion Reference Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Conversion Reference Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Reference Rate and may assume that the last Conversion Reference Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Reference Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Reference Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Reference Rate to Holders within 20 Business Days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
     Section 4.09. Notice of Certain Transactions.
     In the event that the Company takes any action which would require an adjustment to the Conversion Reference Rate, the Company takes any action that requires the execution of a supplemental indenture in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10 or if there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee a notice stating the proposed record or effective date, as the case may be. If reasonably practicable, the Company shall mail such notice at least 20 days before such proposed effective date. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in this Section 4.09.
     Section 4.10. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale on Conversion Privilege.
     (a) If any of following events occur (each, a “Business Combination”), namely:
     (1) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock, other than (A) a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or (B) as a result of subdivision or a combination,
     (2) a consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another Person,

37


 

     (3) a sale, lease or other transfer to a third Person of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or
     (4) any statutory share exchange of the Company with another Person,
in each case as a result of which holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that from and after the effective date of such Business Combination, upon cash conversion of Securities, the cash settlement of the Conversion Reference Value in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.12 shall be based on the value over the applicable Conversion Reference Period of the shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) which holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive in respect of each share of Common Stock upon such Business Combination. 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, such consideration will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. If, in the case of any such Business Combination, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Business Combination, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth in Article 3 hereof. The Company shall not become a party to any Business Combination unless its terms are materially consistent with the provisions of this Section 4.10. The above provisions of this Section 4.10 shall similarly apply to successive Business Combinations. None of the provisions of this Section 4.10 shall affect the right of a Holder of Securities to require the Company to cash convert its Securities in accordance with the provisions of this Article 4 prior to the effective date of a Business Combination.
     If this Section 4.10(a) applies to any event or occurrence, Section 4.06 hereof shall not apply to the extent the application of such Section would result in a duplicative adjustment.
     (b) In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 4.10, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (1) an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefore and that all conditions precedent have been complied with and (2) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent thereto and hereunder have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to all Holders. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of such transaction and such supplemental indenture.
     Section 4.11. Trustee’s Disclaimer.
     (a) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any duty to calculate the Conversion Reference Price or to make any computation or determination in connection therewith or to determine when an adjustment under this Article 4 should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the same or the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, including the Offi-

38


 

cer’s Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.08. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent makes any representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with any provisions of this Article 4, including whether or not a supplemental indenture is required to be executed.
     (b) The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 4.10, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.10.
     (c) Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent or any other Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by this Article 4 has occurred which makes the Securities eligible for cash conversion until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and any Paying Agent and each other Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that such event has occurred, on which Officer’s Certificate the Trustee and any such Paying Agent and other Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and any such Paying Agent and each other Agent promptly after the occurrence of any such event.
     Section 4.12. Settlement Upon Cash Conversion.
     (a) Holders surrendering Securities for cash conversion shall be entitled to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities surrendered for cash conversion, cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Reference Value for the applicable Conversion Reference Period, appropriately adjusted to reflect events occurring during such Conversion Reference Period that would result in an adjustment to Conversion Reference Rate in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.06. The Company will deliver such cash to such Holder in accordance with Section 4.02(a), and such delivery shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities so cash converted. The Company shall determine the Conversion Reference Value at the end of the applicable Conversion Reference Period and shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent.
     (b) In the event that the Conversion Reference Value with respect to any $1,000 principal amount of Securities cash converted following the 45th Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Final Maturity Date would be less than $1,000, in lieu of the Conversion Reference Value, the Company will pay to the converting Holder $1,000 on the Final Maturity Date.
     (c) For the purposes of Section 4.12(a), in the event that any of Conversion Reference Value, Daily Conversion Reference Value, or Volume Weighted Average Price is not calculable for all portions of the Conversion Reference Period, the Company’s Board of Directors shall in good faith determine the values necessary to calculate the Conversion Reference Value, Daily Conversion Reference Value, and Volume Weighted Average Price (which calculations shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee).

ARTICLE 5
COVENANTS
     Section 5.01. Payment of Securities.
     (a) The Company shall promptly make all payments in respect of the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and this Indenture. A payment of principal, interest, Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Conversion Reference Value shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Paying Agent (other than the Company) (or if the Company is the Paying Agent, the segregated account or separate trust fund maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 2.04) holds by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on that date money, deposited by or on behalf of the Company sufficient to make the payment. Accrued and unpaid interest on any Security that is payable (whether or not punctually paid or duly provided for) on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay interest in immediately available funds on overdue principal and interest at the annual rate borne by the Securities compounded semiannually, which interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was originally due to the day preceding the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for.
     (b) Payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities, and the Conversion Reference Value and Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect thereto shall be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee) in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest on any Certificated Securities having an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or less may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address appears in the Register; provided further that a Holder of a Certificated Security having an aggregate principal amount of more than $5,000,000 will be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the election of such Holder if such Holder has provided wire transfer instructions to the Trustee at least 10 Business Days prior to the payment date. Any wire transfer instructions received by the Trustee will remain in effect until revoked by the Holder. In the case of a permanent Global Security, interest payable on any applicable payment date will be paid to the Depositary, with respect to that portion of such permanent Global Security held for its account by Cede & Co. for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in respect of such permanent Global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.
     Section 5.02. Reports by Company and the Guarantors.
     (a) Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 15 days after the date such reports would be required to be filed with the SEC if the Company were required to file such reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, copies of all annual and quarterly reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) that it would be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company were required to file such reports. To the extent required by law or the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company also shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 314(a).

40


 

     (b) For so long as any Restricted Securities are outstanding, the Company agrees that, in order to render such Restricted Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, it will make available, upon request, to any Holder of Restricted Securities or prospective purchasers of Restricted Securities the information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4), unless the Company files or furnishes such information to the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
     (c) Delivery of such reports and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the compliance by each of the Company and the Guarantors with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).
     Section 5.03. Compliance Certificates.
     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008), an Officer’s Certificate as to the signer’s knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants on its part contained in this Indenture and stating whether or not the signer knows of any Default or Event of Default. If such signer knows of such a Default or Event of Default, the Officer’s Certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default and the efforts to remedy the same. For the purposes of this Section 5.03, compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. Such certificates need not comply with Section 12.04 of this Indenture.
     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within five days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of Default and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.
     Section 5.04. Further Instruments and Acts.
     Upon request of the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.
     Section 5.05. Maintenance of Corporate Existence.
     Subject to Article 6, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.
     Section 5.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.
     The Company covenants (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or accrued but unpaid interest on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or

41


 

impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
     Section 5.07. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
     The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment. The Company also will maintain an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The office of the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, will be such office or agency of the Company, unless the Company shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location and any change in the location of any such offices or agencies. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required offices or agencies or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the office of the Trustee and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
     The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside of The City of New York) where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designation. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such office or agency.
     Section 5.08. Guarantees.
     If any Domestic Subsidiary of the Company (including any Domestic Subsidiary of the Company formed or acquired after the Issue Date) that is not a Guarantor shall become a guarantor of the Company’s obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, other Credit Facility Debt or any Capital Markets Debt, then such Domestic Subsidiary shall (i) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary shall unconditionally Guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Securities and this Indenture on the terms set forth in Article 11 and (ii) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Domestic Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Domestic Subsidiary, subject to customary exceptions. Such opinion need not comply with Section 12.04 of this Indenture.

     (A) such default results from the failure to pay such indebtedness at its stated final maturity and such default has not been cured or the indebtedness repaid in full within ten days of the default; or
     (B) such default or defaults have resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness and such acceleration has not been rescinded or such indebtedness repaid in full within ten days of the acceleration;

A notice given pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be given by registered or certified mail, must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a Notice of Default. When any Default under this Section 7.01 is cured, it ceases.
     (c) The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after becoming aware of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, written notice thereof.
     Section 7.02. Acceleration; Special Interest; Additional Interest.
     (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 7.01(a) with respect to the Company) shall occur and be continuing with respect to this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on all Securities to be due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders of the Securities). Upon any such declaration, such principal and interest shall become due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 7.01(a) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Company, then all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be due and payable immediately in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Securities, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date the Securities become due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Thereupon, the Trustee may, at its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the Holders of the Securities by appropriate judicial proceedings.
     (b) After a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

45


 

     (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay
     (1) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,
     (2) all overdue interest on all Outstanding Securities,
     (3) the principal of any Outstanding Securities which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Securities, and
     (4) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Securities;
     (ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and
     (iii) all Defaults or Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of and interest on the Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 7.13. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
     (c) Notwithstanding clause (a) of this Section 7.02, to the extent elected by the Company, except as provided in clauses (d) and (e) below, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with the provisions of Section 5.02 of this Indenture shall, for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive special interest (“Special Interest”) on the Securities at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Securities. Such Special Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date following the date on which such Special Interest began to accrue on the Securities. Special Interest shall accrue on all Outstanding Securities from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the provisions of Section 5.02 shall first occur to but not including the 365th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived). On such 365th day (or earlier, if the Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 5.02 is cured or waived prior to such 365th day), such Special Interest shall cease to accrue and, if the Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 5.02 shall not have been cured or waived prior to such 365th day, the Securities shall be subject to acceleration as provided in this Section 7.02. Delivery by the Company of any report or other information required to be filed or otherwise delivered by it pursuant to Section 5.02 shall constitute a cure of any failure to file or otherwise deliver such report pursuant to Section 5.02. The provisions of this paragraph shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company shall not elect to pay Special Interest upon an Event of Default resulting from the failure of the Company to comply with the provisions of Section 5.02, the Securities shall be subject to acceleration as provided above in this Section 7.02.
     If the Company shall elect to pay Special Interest in connection with an Event of Default relating to its failure to comply with the requirements of Section 5.02, (1) the Company shall notify all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default shall first occur, and (2) all references herein to interest accrued or payable as of

46


 

any date shall include any Special Interest accrued or payable as of such date as provided in this Section 7.02.
     (d) Subject to clause (g) of this Section 7.02, if, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date which is six months after the Issue Date and ending on the date which is the one-year anniversary of the Issue Date, the Company fails to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than current reports on Form 8-K), or the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities, the Company shall pay additional interest (“Additional Interest”) on the Securities which shall accrue on the Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Securities outstanding for each day during such period for which the Company’s failure to file, or the failure of the Securities to be freely tradable, as described above, has occurred and is continuing, which rate shall be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum following the 90th day on which such Additional Interest has commenced accruing, provided that the rate at which such Additional Interest under this Section 7.02(d) accrues may in no event exceed 0.50% per annum; and provided further that the Company shall have 14 calendar days, in the aggregate, to cure any such late filings or failures of the Securities to be freely tradable before any such Additional Interest shall accrue.
     (e) Following the one-year anniversary of the Issue Date, if, and for so long as, the restrictive legend on the Securities has not been removed in accordance with Section 2.07 or Section 2.18 or the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities, the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Securities which shall accrue on the Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Securities outstanding for each day after the one-year anniversary of the Issue Date of any Securities until the restrictive legend on the Securities has been removed and the Securities are otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities, which rate shall be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum following the 90th day on which such Additional Interest has commenced accruing, provided that the rate at which such Additional Interest under this Section 7.02(e) accrues may in no event exceed 0.50% per annum; and provided further that the Company shall have 14 calendar days, in the aggregate, to remove the restricted securities legend or otherwise cause the Securities to be freely tradeable before any such Additional Interest shall accrue.
     (f) Additional Interest payable in accordance with Sections 7.02(d) and/or 7.02(e) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for the Securities following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Securities. All references herein to interest accrued or payable as of any date shall include any Additional Interest accrued or payable as of such date as provided in this Section 7.02.
     (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is required to pay Additional Interest pursuant to this Section 7.02, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to designate an effective shelf registration statement for the resale by the Holders of the Securities or, to the extent permitted by applicable U.S. securities laws, consummate a registered exchange offer for the Securities. Additional Interest shall not accrue for each day on which such registration statement remains effective and usable by Holders for the resale of the Securities or following consummation of such exchange offer, as applicable. Any such registration or exchange offer shall be effected on terms customary for securities generally offered in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

     Section 7.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.
     The Company covenants that if:
     (a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days,
     (b) default is made in the payment of (i) the principal of any Security at the Stated Maturity thereof or (ii) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Security required to be purchased on any Fundamental Change Purchase Date, or
     (c) default is made in the payment of the Conversion Reference Value of any Security when required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.02 and such default continues for a period of 15 days,
the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest and Conversion Reference Value and Fundamental Change Purchase Price and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest upon overdue principal and installments of interest, at the rate borne by the Securities; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
     If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated.
     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this Indenture or any Guarantee by such appropriate private or judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in any Guarantee or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy, subject however to Section 7.12. No recovery of any such judgment upon any property of the Company or any Guarantor shall affect or impair any rights, powers or remedies of the Trustee or the Holders.
     Section 7.04. 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 Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities 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 overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,
     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be nec-

48


 

essary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and
     (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 8.07.
     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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
     Section 7.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.
     All rights of action and claims under this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
     Section 7.06. Application of Money Collected.
     Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 or otherwise on behalf of the Holders or the Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 or through any proceeding or any arrangement or restructuring in anticipation or in lieu of any proceeding contemplated by this Article 7 and any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall be applied, subject to applicable law, in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal, Conversion Reference Value, Fundamental Change Purchase Price or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee (or any predecessor trustee) under Section 8.07;
     SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal, Conversion Reference Value, Fundamental Change Purchase Price and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, Conversion Reference Value, Fundamental Change Purchase Price and interest; and

49


 

     THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto, including the Company, provided that all sums due and owing to the Holders and the Trustee have been paid in full as required by this Indenture.
     Section 7.07. Limitation on Suits.
     No Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Securities, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless
     (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
     (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as trustee hereunder;

     (d) the Trustee for 15 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer (and if requested, provision) of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
     (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 15-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities;
it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Security to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture or any Security, except in the manner provided in this Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.
     Section 7.08. Unconditional Right of Holders To Receive Payment and To Cash Convert.
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of the principal amount, interest or Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if any, in respect of the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities and this Indenture (whether upon repurchase or otherwise), and to cash convert such Security in accordance with Article 4, and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective due dates or for the right to cash convert in accordance with Article 4, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

50


 

ing, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
     Section 7.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
     No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
     Section 7.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
     No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 7 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
     Section 7.12. Control by Holders.
     The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that:
     (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, expose the Trustee to personal liability, or be unduly prejudicial to Holders not joining therein; and
     (b) subject to the provisions of Section 315 of the TIA (which shall be applicable hereunder), the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases to exist.
     Section 7.14. Undertaking for Costs.
     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforce-

51


 

ment of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on, any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of purchase pursuant to Article 3 hereof, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date) or for the enforcement of its right to cash convert its Securities in accordance with Article 4.
     Section 7.15. Remedies Subject to Applicable Law.
     All rights, remedies and powers provided by this Article 7 may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law in the premises, and all the provisions of this Indenture are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling in the premises and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Indenture invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.
ARTICLE 8
TRUSTEE
     Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
     (a) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
     (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
     (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform those duties and only those duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
     (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;
     (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
     (1) this clause (c) does not limit the effect of clause (b) or (d) of this Section 8.01;

     The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Company covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

55


 

against, any claim, loss, liability, tax, assessment or other governmental charge (other than taxes applicable to the Trustee’s compensation hereunder) or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including enforcement of this Section 8.07 and also including any liability which the Trustee may incur as a result of failure to withhold, pay or report any tax, assessment or other governmental charge, and the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this Section 8.07 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute an additional obligation hereunder and, together with the lien referred in the next sentence, shall survive the satisfaction and discharge, and termination for any reason, of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee. To secure the Company’s obligations in this Section 8.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money and property held or collected by the Trustee, other than money or property held in trust for the payment of principal of or interest on particular Securities.
     “Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

     Section 8.08. Conflicting Interests.
     The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the TIA.

If the TIA is then required by law or the rules and regulations of the SEC to be applicable to this Indenture, nothing herein shall preclude the Trustee from making the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the TIA.
     Section 8.09. Trustee Eligibility.
     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as trustee under TIA Section 310(a) and which shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, to the extent there is an institution eligible and willing to serve. If the Trustee does not have a Corporate Trust Office in The City of New York, the Trustee may appoint an agent in The City of New York reasonably acceptable to the Company to conduct any activities which the Trustee may be required under this Indenture to conduct in The City of New York. If such Trustee publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.09, the combined capital and surplus of such cor-

56


 

poration shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 8.
     Section 8.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee.
     (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to this Article 8 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee under Section 8.11.
     (b) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by giving written notice thereof to the Company. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Trustee and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Trustee. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or of any removal of the Trustee as hereinafter provided, the resigning or removed Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities.
     (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time for any cause or for no cause by an Act of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.
     (d) If at any time:
     (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months,
     (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 8.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or
     (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
then, in any case, (i) the Company may remove the Trustee, or (ii) subject to Section 7.14, the Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.
     (e) If the Trustee shall be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If, within 60 days after such removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, the Company has not appointed a successor Trustee, a successor trustee shall be appointed by the Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee. Such successor trustee so ap-

57


 

pointed shall forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment become the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of the Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, subject to Section 7.14, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
     (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities as their names and addresses appear in the register of the Registrar. Each notice shall include the name of the successor trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office or agent hereunder.
     Section 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
     (a) Every successor trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee as if originally named as Trustee hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges pursuant to Section 8.07 then unpaid, such retiring Trustee shall pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien provided for in Section 8.07, and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, trusts and duties. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers.
     (b) No successor trustee with respect to the Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible to act as trustee under the provisions of TIA Section 310(a) and this Article 8 and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and have a Corporate Trust Office or an agent selected in accordance with Section 8.09.
     (c) Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.11, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holders of the Securities, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the appointment, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 8.10. If the Company fails to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company.
     Section 8.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
     Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the trust created by this Indenture) shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be eligible under TIA Section 310(a) and this Article 8 and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and have a Corporate Trust Office or an agent selected in accordance with Section 8.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

58


 

     In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
     Section 8.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.
     If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or other obligor under the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the TIA regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein, including, if the TIA does not then apply to this Indenture, as if the TIA then applied to this Indenture.
     Section 8.14. Reports by Trustee.
     (a) Within 60 days after June 15 of each year commencing with the first June 15 after the issuance of Securities, the Trustee, if so required under the TIA, including, if the TIA does not then apply to this Indenture, as if the TIA then applied to this Indenture, shall transmit by mail to all Holders, in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such June 15 in accordance with and with respect to the matters required by TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail to all Holders, in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), including, if the TIA does not then apply to this Indenture, as if the TIA then applied to this Indenture, a brief report in accordance with and with respect to the matters required by TIA Section 313(b)(2).
     (b) A copy of each report transmitted to Holders pursuant to this Section 8.14 shall, at the time of such transmission, be mailed to the Company and filed with each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the Securities are listed and if the TIA shall then apply to this Indenture, also with the SEC. The Company will notify the Trustee promptly if the Securities are listed on any national securities exchange.

     (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and
     (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.
     (b) Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company with respect to the Trustee under Section 8.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (2) of Section 9.01(a), the provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.13, 2.18 and 5.01 and this Article 9 shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full.

     Section 9.03. Reinstatement.
     If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 9.02 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 9.01 until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 9.02; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of the principal of or interest on, or Fundamental Change Purchase Price or Conversion Reference Value in respect of, any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive any such payment from the money held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent.

Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.
ARTICLE 11
NOTE GUARANTEES
     Section 11.01. Guarantees.
     (a) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the Securities and obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to

63


 

each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, that (i) the principal of and interest on, and Fundamental Change Purchase Price and Conversion Reference Value with respect to, the Securities will be paid in full when due, whether at the Final Maturity Date or a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or upon cash conversion of the Securities, by acceleration or otherwise (including the amount that would become due but for the operation of any automatic stay provision of any Bankruptcy Law), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be paid in full or performed or observed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or of any such other obligations, the same will be paid in full when due or performed or observed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Final Maturity Date or a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or upon a cash conversion of the Securities, by acceleration or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 11.03 hereof.
     Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.
     (b) Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be discharged as to Securities except by complete performance of the obligations contained therein, this Indenture and such Guarantee. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal or interest on, or Fundamental Change Purchase Price or Conversion Reference Value with respect to, such Security, whether at the Final Maturity Date or a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or upon cash conversion of the Securities, by acceleration or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Security, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce such Guarantor’s Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Securities, to collect interest on the Securities, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Securities, such Guarantor will pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.
     (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee of each of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) subject to this Article 11, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 7 hereof for the purposes of the Guarantee of such Guarantor, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in

64


 

respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 7 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee of such Guarantor.
     (d) Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Securities are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Securities, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
     (e) To evidence its Guarantee, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a Notation of Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto will be endorsed by an Officer or other duly authorized representative of such Guarantor on each Security authenticated and delivered to the Trustee and that this Indenture or a supplemental indenture to this Indenture in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers or another duly authorized representative. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a Notation of Guarantee. The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will be deemed to constitute due delivery of the Notation of Guarantee set forth in this Indenture by the Guarantors.
     Section 11.02. Severability.
     In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
     Section 11.03. Limitation of Liability.
     Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee by each such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and each such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
     Section 11.04. Contribution.
     In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor under a Guarantee,

65


 

such Guarantor will be entitled to a contribution from any other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Guarantor determined in accordance with GAAP.
     Section 11.05. Subrogation.
     Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.01; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Securities shall have been paid in full.
     Section 11.06. Reinstatement.
     Each Guarantor hereby agrees (and each Person who becomes a Guarantor shall agree) that the Guarantee provided for in Section 11.01 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of any obligations or interest thereon is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by a Holder to the Company upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any Guarantor.
     Section 11.07. Release of a Guarantor.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Guarantee by a Guarantor of the Securities shall be, and shall provide by its terms that it is automatically and unconditionally released and discharged (i) upon any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (including by way of merger or consolidation) of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, following which the Company and its Subsidiaries cease to own at least a majority of the Voting Stock of such Guarantor, which transaction is in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, (ii) if such Subsidiary ceases (or would cease after giving effect to the release of such Guarantee and any concurrent release pursuant to any other agreement relating to Indebtedness of the Company) to be a guarantor of the Company’s obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, any other Credit Facility Debt or any Capital Markets Debt (other than by reason of a payment under a guarantee of any such debt by any Subsidiary following an occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under such debt) or (iii) payment in full of all principal and interest on the Securities.
     Section 11.08. Benefits Acknowledged.
     Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that its respective Guarantee and waiver pursuant to its respective Guarantee is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

     Section 12.01. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.
     If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with any provision of the TIA or another provision which is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, the provision or requirement of the TIA shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Holders or the Company or any other obligor on the Securities by the Trustee.
     Such notices or communications shall be effective only when actually received.
     The Company or the Trustee by notice to the other may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.
     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to each Holder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the register kept by the Primary Registrar, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or by any other manner deemed acceptable to the Trustee. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice when mailed to a Holder in the aforesaid manner shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder whether or not actually received by such Holder. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Per-

67


 

son entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
     In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event as required by any provision of this Indenture, then any method of giving such notice as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
     If the Company mails any notice to a Holder of a Security, it shall mail a copy to the Trustee and each Registrar and Paying Agent.
     Section 12.03. Disclosure of Names and Addresses of Holders.
     Holders may communicate in accordance with TIA Section 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities, and the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 312(b). The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and any other Person shall have the protection of TIA 312(c). Further, every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee or any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance with TIA Section 312, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under TIA Section 312.
     Section 12.04. Compliance Certificates and Opinions.
     (a) Upon any application or request by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture and as may be requested by the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such certificates or opinions is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.
     (b) Every certificate or Opinion of Counsel with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:
     (1) a statement that the Person signing such certificate or opinion has read and understands such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;
     (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;
     (3) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, such Person has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such Person to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and
     (4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

68


 

     Section 12.05. Acts of Holders.
     (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 12.05.
     (b) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the register maintained by the Primary Registrar.
     (c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or the Company or any other obligor of the Securities in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.
     (d) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
     (e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of such Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and no later than the date such first solicitation is completed.
     (f) If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities then Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for this purpose the Securities then Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after such record date.

69


 

     (g) For purposes of this Indenture, any action by the Holders which may be taken in writing may be taken by electronic means or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
     Section 12.06. Benefits of Indenture.
     Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities or the Guarantees, express or implied, shall give to any Person (other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Paying Agent and the Holders) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
     Section 12.07. Legal Holidays.
     In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Fundamental Change Purchase Date, Final Maturity Date or required cash conversion date of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of interest, principal or Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Conversion Reference Value need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, Fundamental Change Purchase Date, Final Maturity Date or required cash conversion date, and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Fundamental Change Purchase Date, Final Maturity Date or the required cash conversion date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day.
     Section 12.08. Governing Law; Waiver of Trial by Jury.
     THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES AND THE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
     EACH PARTY HERETO, AND EACH HOLDER OF A SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE.
     Section 12.09. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.
     This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.
     Section 12.10. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders.
     No director, officer, employee, stockholder, incorporator or agent of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or such Guarantor under the Securities, the Guarantees, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.
     Section 12.11. Successors and Assigns.
     All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company and the Guarantors shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

70


 

     Section 12.12. Multiple Counterparts.
     The parties may sign multiple counterparts of this Indenture. Each signed counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.
     Section 12.13. Separability Clause.
     In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities or Guarantees shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
     Section 12.14. Schedules and Exhibits.
     All schedules and exhibits attached hereto are by this reference made a part hereof with the same effect as if herein set forth in full.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY]
Mylan Inc.
3.75% Cash Convertible Notes Due 2015
     1. Interest
     Mylan Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company,” which term shall include any successor company under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate of 3.75% per annum. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing March 15, 2009. Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall include interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or if none, from and including September 15, 2008) to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date. Cash interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Any payment required to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such day and without any interest in respect of the delay. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay interest in immediately available funds on overdue principal and interest at the rate of 3.75% per annum, compounded semiannually, which interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was originally due to the day preceding the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for.
     Any reference herein to interest accrued or payable as of any date shall include any Special Interest or Additional Interest that may be payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.02 of the Indenture.
     2. Method of Payment
     The Company shall pay interest on this Security (except defaulted interest) to the Person who is the Holder of this Security at the close of business on March 1 or September 1, as the case may be (each, a “Regular Record Date”), next preceding the related Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Security to a Paying Agent to collect payment of principal. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
     3. Paying Agent and Registrar
     Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee,” which term shall include any successor trustee under the Indenture hereinafter referred to) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Affiliates may, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, act as Paying Agent.
     4. Indenture
     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its 3.75% Cash Convertible Notes Due 2015 (the “Securities”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of September 15, 2008 (together with any supplemental indentures thereto, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. The terms of this Security include those stated in the Indenture and those required by or made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of

A-3


 

1939, as amended (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture. This Security is subject to all such terms, and the Holder of this Security is referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Securities are limited to $575,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Indenture does not limit other debt of the Company, secured or unsecured.
     5. Purchase of Securities at Option of Holder upon a Fundamental Change
     Upon a Fundamental Change, at the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase for cash all or any part specified by the Holder (so long as the principal amount of such part is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of the Securities held by such Holder on the date specified by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Article 3 of the Indenture. The purchase price of any Securities so purchased shall equal 100% of the principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. If the Fundamental Change Purchase Date falls on a day that is after the Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Scheduled Trading Day following the corresponding Interest Payment Date, interest, accrued and unpaid hereon to, but not including, the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date, together with the interest due on the Securities to, but excluding, such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, will be paid to the Holder in whose name such Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
     6. Cash Conversion
     The Securities are not convertible into shares of Common Stock or any other securities. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture and upon the occurrence of the events specified in the Indenture, the Holder may surrender for cash conversion all or any portion of this Security that is in an integral multiple of $1,000. Upon cash conversion, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the consideration specified in the Indenture. The initial Conversion Reference Rate of the Securities shall be 75.0751 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 of the Indenture. If a Holder cash converts all or any portion of this Security in connection with the occurrence of certain Fundamental Change transactions, the Conversion Reference Rate shall be increased in the manner and to the extent described in Section 4.01(i) of the Indenture.
     Securities surrendered for cash conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date shall be accompanied by payment by the Holders of such Securities in funds to the Paying Agent acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such corresponding Interest Payment Date; provided that no such payment need be made: (1) in connection with a conversion following the Regular Record Date preceding the Final Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the first Scheduled Trading Day following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (3) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of cash conversion with respect to such Security.
     A Security in respect of which a Holder has submitted a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be cash converted only if such Holder validly withdraws such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

A-4


 

     7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange
     The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount. A Holder may register the transfer of or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation thereto by law or permitted by the Indenture.
     8. Persons Deemed Owners
     The Holder of a Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
     9. Unclaimed Money
     If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and any Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company, subject to the provisions of the Indenture. After that, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.
     10. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
     Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, and an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequence or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Securities may be waived subject to certain exceptions with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding. Without the consent of or notice to any Holder, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities to, among other things, (x) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency or (y) make any other change that does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect.
     11. Successor Entity
     When a successor Person assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Securities and the Indenture in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the predecessor Person (except in certain circumstances specified in the Indenture) shall be released from those obligations.
     12. Defaults and Remedies
     An Event of Default shall occur upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 7.01(a) of the Indenture. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.02(c) of the Indenture, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Securities (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 7.01(a) of the Indenture with respect to the Company), the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on all Securities to be due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders of the Securities). Upon any such declaration, such principal and interest shall become due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (9) or (10) of Section 7.01(a) of the Indenture occurs and is continuing with respect to the Company, then all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be due and payable immediately in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Securities,

A-5


 

together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date the Securities become due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences if: (a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (1) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, (2) all overdue interest on all Outstanding Securities, (3) the principal of any Outstanding Securities which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Securities, and (4) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Securities; (b) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (c) all Defaults and Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal of and interest on the Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
     Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest or to deliver amounts owing upon conversion) if and so long as it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Company is required to file periodic certificates with the Trustee as to the Company’s compliance with the Indenture and knowledge or status of any Default.
     13. Trustee Dealings with the Company
     The Bank of New York Mellon, the initial Trustee under the Indenture, or any of its Affiliates, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, as if it were not the Trustee.
     14. No Recourse Against Others
     No director, officer, employee, stockholder, incorporator or agent of the Company, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.

Repurchase Notices:
Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Seller a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 6% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Seller with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this section, then Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Seller and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability.

This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Seller. Counterparty will not be liable under this Indemnity provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from Dealer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The “Notice Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the product of (a) the Applicable Percentage, (b) the number of outstanding Reference Notes and (c) a number of Shares per Reference Note equal to the Conversion Reference Rate (as defined in the Note Indenture) and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day).
Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notices
Counterparty shall provide to Dealer written notice (such notice, a “Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice”) prior to the proposed effective date of any transaction or event (a “Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Event”) that would lead to an increase in the Conversion Reference Rate (as such term is defined in the Note Indenture). Each Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice shall be delivered to Dealer at or prior to the deadline for delivery of the related notices to the trustee under the Note Indenture. In connection with the delivery of any Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice to Dealer, (x) Counterparty shall, concurrently with or prior to such delivery, publicly announce and disclose the Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Event or (y) Counterparty shall, concurrently with such delivery, represent and warrant that the information set forth in such Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice does not constitute material non-public information with respect to Counterparty or the Shares. The Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice shall set forth the new, adjusted Conversion Reference Rate after giving effect to such Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Event (the “New Conversion Reference Rate”); provided that if the New Conversion Reference Rate cannot be determined at the time of delivery of the Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice, Counterparty shall provide to Dealer written notice of the New Conversion Reference Rate as promptly as practicable following the availability of information required for its determination.

  If as determined in Dealer’s sole discretion, at any time Dealer’s Ownership Percentage (as defined below) exceeds 8.5% (an Excess Ownership Position”) and Dealer, in its discretion, is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party after its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer (including without limitation where such inability of Seller is due to Buyer’s withholding or delaying of consent to such transfer or assignment) such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of the Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination, (iii) such portion of the Transaction were the only Terminated Transaction and (iv) Dealer were the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement and to determine the amount payable pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Agreement. The “Ownership Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the greater of (1) the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act but excluding any group formed for the affirmative purpose of changing or influencing control of the Issuer) with Dealer (collectively, “Dealer Group”) “beneficially own” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day and (2) the number of shares that Dealer and all persons comprising part of the same “acquiring person” as Dealer “beneficially own”, as each such term is used in Counterparty’s Rights Agreement between the Counterparty and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company dated as of August 22, 1996, as amended as of November 8, 1999, August 13, 2004, September 8, 2004, December 2, 2004 and December 19, 2005 (as so amended and as may be subsequently amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Rights Agreement”), on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

EXHIBIT A
GUARANTEE OF MERRILL LYNCH & CO., INC.
     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, MERRILL LYNCH & CO., INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“ML & Co.”), hereby unconditionally guarantees to Mylan Inc. (the “Company”), the due and punctual payment of any and all amounts payable by Merrill Lynch International, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“ML”), under the terms of the Confirmation of OTC Convertible Note Hedge between the Company and ML (ML as Seller), dated as of September 9, 2008, with respect to the Reference Notes (as defined therein) of Company due 2015 (the “Confirmation”), including, in case of default, interest on any amount due, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether on the scheduled payment dates, at maturity, upon declaration of termination or otherwise, according to the terms thereof. In case of the failure of ML punctually to make any such payment, ML & Co. hereby agrees to make such payment, or cause such payment to be made, promptly upon demand made by the Company to ML & Co.; provided, however that delay by the Company in giving such demand shall in no event affect ML & Co.’s obligations under this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect or shall be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time any payment guaranteed hereunder, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Company upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of ML or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
     ML & Co. hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder constitute a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection and that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Confirmation; the absence of any action to enforce the same; any waiver or consent by the Company concerning any provisions thereof; the rendering of any judgment against ML or any action to enforce the same; or any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or a defense of a guarantor. ML covenants that this guarantee will not be discharged except by complete payment of the amounts payable under the Confirmation. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective if ML merges or consolidates with or into another entity, loses its separate legal identity or ceases to exist.
     ML & Co. shall not exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation as a result of a payment by it under this Guarantee at any time when any of the obligations of ML shall have become due and remain unpaid.

In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Seller or Calculation Agent with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this section, then Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and Hedging Party, and their respective affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Seller, Hedging Party and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or

proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Seller or the Hedging Party, as the case may be. Counterparty will not be liable under this Indemnity provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from Dealer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The “Notice Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the product of (a) the Applicable Percentage, (b) the number of outstanding Reference Notes and (c) a number of Shares per Reference Note equal to the Conversion Reference Rate (as defined in the Note Indenture) and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day).
Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notices
Counterparty shall provide to Dealer and Calculation Agent written notice (such notice, a “Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice”) prior to the proposed effective date of any transaction or event (a “Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Event”) that would lead to an increase in the Conversion Reference Rate (as such term is defined in the Note Indenture). Each Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice shall be delivered to Dealer and Calculation Agent at or prior to the deadline for delivery of the related notices to the trustee under the Note Indenture. In connection with the delivery of any Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice to Dealer, (x) Counterparty shall, concurrently with or prior to such delivery, publicly announce and disclose the Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Event or (y) Counterparty shall, concurrently with such delivery, represent and warrant to Dealer and Calculation Agent that the information set forth in such Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice does not constitute material non-public information with respect to Counterparty or the Shares. The Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice shall set forth the new, adjusted Conversion Reference Rate after giving effect to such Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Event (the “New Conversion Reference Rate”); provided that if the New Conversion Reference Rate cannot be determined at the time of delivery of the Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice, Counterparty shall provide to Dealer written notice of the New Conversion Reference Rate as promptly as practicable following the availability of information required for its determination.

Dear Sir / Madam:
     The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the above-referenced transaction entered into among Counterparty, Dealer and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the “Agent”) on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction). This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below.
     The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the “Swap Definitions”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions” and, together with the Swap Definitions, the “Definitions), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern, and in the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. References herein to a “Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to a “Share Option Transaction” for the purposes of the Equity Definitions and to a “Swap Transaction” for the purposes of the Swap Definitions. For purposes of this Transaction, “Warrant Style”, “Warrant Type”, “Number of Warrants” and “Warrant Entitlement” (each as defined below) shall be used herein as if such terms were referred to as “Option Style”, “Option Type”, “Number of Options” and “Option Entitlement”, respectively, in the Definitions.
     This Confirmation evidences a complete binding agreement between you and us as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation (notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein), shall be subject to, and form part of, an agreement in the 1992 form of the ISDA Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement” or “Agreement”) as if we had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule and with elections specified in the “ISDA Master Agreement” Section of this Confirmation) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of this Transaction. The parties hereby agree that the Transaction evidenced by this Confirmation shall be the only Transaction subject to and governed by the Agreement.
     The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:

Valuation:
   
 
   
Valuation Dates:
  Each Exercise Date 
 
   
Settlement Terms:
   
 
   
Settlement Price:
  For each Valuation Date, the Rule 10b-18 Dollar Volume Weighted Average Price of the Shares (“VWAP”) calculated from 9:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., as observed under the heading Bloomberg “VWAP” on Bloomberg page MYL.N <equity> VAP (or any successor thereto) (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent); provided that, if the scheduled weekday closing time of the Exchange for any Valuation Date is later than 4:00 p.m. (without regard to after hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours) the VWAP shall be calculated for such Valuation Date from 9:45 a.m. until 15 minutes prior to such later closing time of the Exchange. 
 
   
 
  Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by replacing clause (ii) in its entirety with “(ii) an Exchange Disruption, or” and inserting immediately following clause (iii) the phrase “; in each case that the Calculation Agent determines is material.” 
 
   
Settlement Method:
  Net Physical Settlement only. 
 
   
Net Physical Settlement:
  Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer on the Settlement Date a number of Shares (the “Delivered Shares”) equal to the Share Delivery Quantity; provided that in the event that the number of Shares calculated comprises any fractional Share, only whole Shares shall be delivered and an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional share shall be payable by the Counterparty to Dealer in lieu of such fractional Share. If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer based on advice of counsel, for any reason, the Shares deliverable upon Net Physical Settlement 
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)

  would not be immediately freely transferable by Dealer under Rule 144(b)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), then Dealer may elect to either (x) accept delivery of such Shares notwithstanding any restriction on transfer or (y) have the provisions set forth under “Registration/Private Placement” below apply, mutatis mutandis. 
 
   
Share Delivery Quantity:
  For each Exercise Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount for such Exercise Date divided by the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date in respect of such Exercise Date plus an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional shares (based on the applicable Settlement Price). 
 
   
Net Physical Settlement Amount:
  For any Exercise Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Number of Warrants being exercised on the relevant Exercise Date, (ii) the Strike Price Differential for such Exercise Date and (iii) the Warrant Entitlement. 
 
   
Strike Price Differential:
  For any Valuation Date, (i) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Strike Price, an amount equal to the excess of such Settlement Price over the Strike Price for such Valuation Date or (ii) if such Settlement Price is less than or equal to the Strike Price, zero. 
 
   
Settlement Date:
  Settlement with respect to each Exercise Date shall occur on the third (3rd) Full Exchange Business Day following the final Valuation Date; provided that Dealer shall have the right to request by prior written notice to Counterparty a Settlement Date with respect to any Exercise Date and the related Share Delivery Quantity that is three (3) Full Exchange Business Days following such Exercise Date. Such request shall not unreasonably be denied. 
 
   
Limitations on Net Physical Settlement by Counterparty:
  Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, the number of Shares that may be delivered at settlement by Counterparty shall not exceed 44,268,971 Shares at any time, as adjusted by Calculation Agent to account for any subdivision, stock-split, stock combination, reclassification or similar dilutive or anti-dilutive event with respect to the Shares and as such number may be increased by operation of the provisions set forth below opposite the caption “Increases in Maximum Deliverable Share Amount” (“Maximum Deliverable Share Amount). 
 
   
 
  Counterparty represents and warrants that the number of Available Shares as of the Trade Date is greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. Counterparty covenants and agrees that (i) Counterparty shall not take any action of corporate governance or otherwise to reduce the number of Available Shares below the Maximum Deliverable Share and (ii) Counterparty shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the number of Available Shares at all times to be greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. 
 
 
  For this purpose, “Available Shares” means the number of Shares Counterparty currently has authorized (but not issued and outstanding) less the maximum number of Shares that may be required to be issued by Counterparty in connection with stock options, convertibles, and other commitments of Counterparty that may require the issuance or delivery of Shares in connection therewith (other than the Transaction and any amendment thereto or new confirmation evidencing the issuance by Counterparty to Dealer of additional warrants within 30 days of September 3, 2008).

Increases in Maximum Deliverable Share Amount:
  Following the Trade Date, Counterparty agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts seek approval from its shareholders (including, without limitation, to seek such approval at its annual meeting of shareholders in 2009 and, if needed, the annual meeting of shareholders for each following calendar year) to increase the number of authorized but unissued Shares such that the number of Available Shares shall be equal to at least two times the Number of Warrants that remain unexercised (the “2x Condition”). Upon Counterparty obtaining such approval for such an increase, the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount shall automatically increase to two times the aggregate Number of Warrants that remain unexercised. Counterparty further agrees that following the Trade Date and until the 2x Condition is satisfied, 70% of the increase in the number of authorized but unissued Shares and/or Shares that are held in treasury that results from any of the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) below shall be reserved solely for delivery in connection with the Transaction, and the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount shall be increased in each case by one-half of the number of such additional authorized but unissued Shares. Until the 2x Condition has been satisfied, Counterparty shall notify Buyer no later than the third Business Day of each month of the occurrence during the immediately preceding month of any of the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) below if the aggregate effect of such events would be to increase the number of additional but authorized Shares by at least 10,000 Shares (including the number of additional authorized but unissued Shares). In the event Counterparty shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable under the Transaction as a result of the “Limitations on Net Physical Settlement by Counterparty” set forth above (the resulting deficit, the “Deficit Shares”), Counterparty shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time (and, for the avoidance of doubt, irrespective of any early termination or cancellation of the relevant Transaction or the expiration of the relevant Warrants) until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Shares when, and to the extent, that (i) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, pursuant to the settlement or termination of any Share option or other derivative transactions) after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved and (iii) Counterparty additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions. Until the full number of Deficit Shares has been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Counterparty shall immediately notify Buyer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares thereafter. 
 
   
Dividends:
   
 
   
Dividends:
  If at any time during the period from and including the Trade Date, to and including the date on which Counterparty has fully performed its obligations to deliver Shares hereunder, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “Ex-Dividend Date”), and that dividend is different from the Regular Dividend on a per Share basis, then the Calculation Agent will, in its reasonable discretion, adjust the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants, the Daily Number of Warrants, the Warrant Entitlement and any other variable it deems appropriate to preserve the fair value of the Warrants after taking into account such 
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)

  dividend and any corresponding adjustment to the Regular Dividend. 
 
   
Regular Dividend:
  Initially USD $0.00 per Share per quarter in respect of the Shares. In the event that, in any quarter, a regular quarterly Ex-Dividend Date occurs for which the amount of the corresponding cash dividend is different (the “New Dividend Amount”) from the Regular Dividend or no Ex-Dividend Date occurs (in which case the New Dividend Amount shall be zero), then following the adjustment by the Calculation Agent pursuant to “Dividends” above, the Regular Dividend shall equal the New Dividend Amount. 
 
   
Extraordinary Dividends:
  Any dividend other than Regular Dividends. For the avoidance of doubt, if more than one Ex-Dividend Date occurs in a quarter, the Calculation Agent shall designate any cash dividend other than a Regular Dividend as an Extraordinary Dividend and will, in its reasonable discretion, adjust the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants, the Daily Number of Warrants, the Warrant Entitlement and any other variable it deems appropriate to preserve the fair value of the Warrants after taking into account such Extraordinary Dividend. 
 
   
Adjustments:
   
 
   
Method of Adjustment:
  Calculation Agent Adjustment 
 
   
Extraordinary Events:
   
 
   
Consequences of Merger Events:
  (a) Share-for-Share:      Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment

(b) Share-for-Other:      Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) 
 
   
 
  (c) Share-for-Combined: Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that the Calculation Agent may elect Component Adjustment for all or part of the Transaction. 
 
   
Tender Offer:

(a) Share-for-Share:              Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment 
 
 
  (b) Share-for-Other:              Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment 
 
 
  (b) Share-for-Combined:      Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment
 
   
 
  With respect to any Extraordinary Events hereunder, upon the occurrence of Cancellation and Payment in whole or in part, the parties agree that the amount to be paid, in accordance with the Equity Definitions, shall constitute a Transaction Early Termination Amount, subject to satisfaction by the payment or delivery of Shares or cash as set forth in the Early Termination section below. 
 
   
Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment:
  If, in respect of any Merger Event to which Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment applies, the adjustments to be made in accordance with Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions would result in the Counterparty being different from the issuer of the Shares, then with respect to such Merger Event, as a condition precedent to the adjustments contemplated in Section 12.2(e)(i) of the

  Equity Definitions, Dealer and the Counterparty shall, prior to the Merger Date, have entered into such documentation containing representations, warranties and agreements relating to securities law and other issues as requested by Dealer that Dealer has determined, in its reasonable discretion, to be reasonably necessary or appropriate to allow Dealer to continue as a party to the Transaction, as adjusted under Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions, and to preserve its hedging or hedge unwind activities in connection with the Transaction in a manner compliant with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer, and if such conditions are not met or if the Calculation Agent determines that no adjustment that it could make under Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the consequences set forth in Section 12.2(e)(ii) of the Equity Definitions shall apply. 
 
   
Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting:
  Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) (subject to satisfaction by payment or delivery of Shares or cash as set forth in “Early Termination” below). In addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Global Select Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any such exchange or quotation system, such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange.

Additional Agreements:
  If Counterparty would be obligated to pay cash to Dealer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement due to an event or circumstance outside Counterparty’s control (or, subject to Dealer’s consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, an event within Counterparty’s control) without having had the right (other than pursuant to this paragraph) to elect to deliver Shares in satisfaction of such payment obligation, then Counterparty may elect to deliver to Dealer a number of Shares (whether registered or unregistered) having a cash value equal to the amount of such payment obligation. Such number of Shares to be delivered shall be the number of Shares, determined by the Calculation Agent, sufficient for Dealer to realize the cash equivalent of such payment obligation from proceeds of the sale of such number of Shares over a reasonable period of time taking into account any applicable discount (determined in a commercially reasonable manner) to reflect any restrictions on transfer as well as the market value of the Shares. Settlement relating to any delivery of Shares pursuant to this paragraph shall occur within a reasonable period of time. The number of Shares delivered pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount and shall be subject to the provisions under “Registration/Private Placement” hereof regarding Proceeds Amount and the provisions set forth in subsection (c) under “Additional Agreements, Representations and Covenants of Counterparty, Etc.” below. If the event giving rise to such payment obligation has resulted in holders of Shares receiving property (including cash) in exchange for Shares, then Counterparty shall satisfy its obligation pursuant to this paragraph by delivering such property; provided that if such event involves a choice of consideration, Dealer shall be entitled to receive the respective amounts of each type of property comprised in such consideration that holders of Shares in the aggregate are entitled to receive. 
 
   
Early Termination:
  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, upon the designation of an Early Termination Date or the occurrence of Cancellation and Payment in whole or in part hereunder (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an (x) Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of the Master Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) of the Master Agreement that in the case of either (x) or (y) resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s

  control), Counterparty’s payment obligation in respect of this Transaction (the “Transaction Early Termination Amount”) may, at the option of Counterparty, be satisfied by the delivery of a number of Shares equal to the Transaction Early Termination Amount divided by the Termination Price (“Early Termination Stock Settlement”); provided, however, that Counterparty must notify Dealer of its election of Early Termination Stock Settlement by the close of business on the day that is two Exchange Business Days following the day that the notice designating the Early Termination Date, or notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part, is effective; provided further, however, that in no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to Dealer a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. “Termination Price” means the market value per Share on the date that Shares are delivered in connection with such Early Termination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner taking into account any applicable discount to reflect any restrictions on transfer. 
 
   
 
  A number of Shares calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Stock Settlement will be deliverable on the third Clearance System Business Day following the date that notice specifying the number of Shares deliverable is effective; provided that, if Counterparty is delivering Shares as a result of a Merger Event, Tender Offer, Nationalization or Insolvency, the Settlement Date for such delivery will be immediately prior to the effective date or settlement date for such event and Dealer shall be entitled to receive the type of consideration that a holder of Shares at such time would be entitled to receive (and references herein to Shares shall be deemed to refer to such consideration, as applicable); provided that if such event involves a choice of consideration, Dealer shall be entitled to receive the respective amounts of each type of property (including cash) comprised in such consideration that holders of Shares in the aggregate are entitled to receive. Section 6(d)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following words after the word “paid” in the fifth line thereof: “or any delivery is to be made, as applicable.” The number of Shares delivered pursuant Early Termination Stock Settlement shall not exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount and shall be subject to the provisions under “Registration/Private Placement” hereof regarding Proceeds Amount and the provisions set forth in subsection (c) under “Additional Agreements, Representations and Covenants of Counterparty, Etc.” below. 
 
   
 
  On or prior to the Early Termination Date or date on which notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part is effective, as applicable, if Early Termination Stock Settlement is elected and if so requested by Dealer upon advice of counsel, Counterparty shall comply with the provisions set forth below opposite the caption “Registration/Private Placement”. 
 
   
Registration/Private Placement:
  If the provisions under this heading “Registration/Private Placement” apply, Counterparty shall (subject to its right to make the election described in the immediately succeeding paragraph) (A) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; (B) enter into a registration rights agreement with Dealer (a “Registered Settlement”) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Dealer which agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) will contain among other things, reasonable customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during “blackout dates” as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement and shall satisfy the conditions contained therein; and (C) promptly file and use its

  commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the effectiveness a Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. If and when such Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Counterparty shall have made available to Dealer such Prospectuses as Dealer may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements for the resale by Dealer of such number of Shares as Dealer shall specify (or, if greater, the number of Shares that Counterparty shall specify). Such Registration Statement shall be effective and Prospectus shall be current until the earliest of the date on which (i) all the Delivered Shares or Shares delivered by Counterparty in connection with an Early Termination Date, as the case may be, have been sold, (ii) Dealer has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective, (iii) all remaining Shares could be sold by Dealer without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “Termination Registration Period) or (iv) Counterparty has provided a legal opinion of nationally recognized counsel reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Dealer (with customary assumptions and exceptions) that the Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants will be freely tradable under the Securities Act upon delivery to MLI and not subject to any legend restricting transferability. It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by Dealer to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Net Physical Settlement or Early Termination Stock Settlement hereunder, as the case may be, but in no event exceeding the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. On each day during the Termination Registration Period Counterparty shall represent that each of its filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and that, as of the respective dates thereof and as of the date of this representation, they do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
   
 
  In lieu of a Registered Settlement, Counterparty may elect, by notice to Dealer no later than the time the relevant delivery obligation is due , that this paragraph shall apply:
     
 
  (a) Counterparty shall afford Dealer and any potential institutional purchaser of any Shares identified by Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for private placements of equity securities subject to execution of any customary confidentiality agreements;
 
   
 
  (b) Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) with Dealer on commercially reasonable terms in connection with the private placement of such Shares (including any additional Shares pursuant to clause (c) below) by Counterparty to Dealer or an affiliate and the private resale of such shares by Dealer or such affiliate, substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities by a publicly reporting company (if Counterparty is a publicly reporting company at such time) to institutional purchasers, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, which Private Placement Agreement shall include provisions relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its affiliates, shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all expenses in

  connection with such resale, including all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer, shall contain representations, warranties and agreements of Counterparty reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to Dealer or such affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the offering memorandum prepared for the resale of such Shares;
 
   
 
  (c) Dealer shall sell the Delivered Shares or the Shares delivered by Counterparty in connection with Early Termination Stock Settlement, as the case may be, in a commercially reasonable manner until the amount received by Dealer for the sale of the Shares (the “Proceeds Amount”) is equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount or the Transaction Early Termination Amount, as applicable. Any remaining delivered Shares shall be returned to Counterparty. If the Proceeds Amount is less than the Net Physical Settlement Amount or the Transaction Early Termination Amount, as applicable, Counterparty shall promptly deliver upon notice from Dealer additional Shares to Dealer until the dollar amount from the sale of such Shares by Dealer equals the difference between the Net Physical Settlement Amount or the Transaction Early Termination Amount, as applicable, and the Proceeds Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to Dealer a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.
     
 
  Notwithstanding the foregoing: (I) if Counterparty has elected to deliver Shares as described in paragraph (a) above and either (A) Counterparty does not provide for the sale of the Shares under the Registration Statement as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) the due diligence investigation referred to in clause (A) of the second preceding paragraph does not yield a result reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, (C) some Shares cannot be registered under the Registration Statement due to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act or (D) some Shares cannot be sold due to the application of a blackout period or the failure of the Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to the date on which the relevant delivery obligation is due, then the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall apply to the extent Counterparty has not satisfied its obligations hereunder. (II) If the preceding paragraph is applicable and Counterparty fails to satisfy its obligations under such paragraph, then Counterparty may deliver unregistered Shares of equivalent value to the Net Physical Settlement Amount or the Transaction Early Termination Amount, as applicable, (or, if applicable, the unsatisfied portion thereof). The value of any unregistered Shares so delivered shall be discounted to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount (determined by Dealer in a commercially reasonable manner, taking into account Dealer’s policies and determinations with respect to any transfer restrictions that Dealer deems it advisable, based on the advice of counsel, to observe in connection with sales of such Shares). (III) If some or all of the Delivered Shares or Shares delivered in connection with an Early Termination Stock Settlement, as applicable, cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by Dealer in connection with this Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender, then the value of any such Shares shall reflect the cost (determined by Dealer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) to Dealer of trading Shares in order to close out its hedge position if any, and the number of Shares required to be

11


 

     
 
  delivered shall be adjusted accordingly. In no event shall Counterparty be required to (i) top-up the delivery in cash or (ii) deliver to Dealer a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

  Counterparty represents and agrees that it has complied, and will comply, in connection with this Transaction and all related or contemporaneous sales and purchases of Shares, with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and 13e and Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

  (a) Counterparty is not entering into this Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares);
 
   
 
  (b) Counterparty represents and acknowledges that as of the date hereof and without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Dealer is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under FASB Statements 149, 150 or 157, EITF Issue No. 00-19 (or any successor issue statements), under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project or under any other accounting standards or guidance;
 
   
 
  (c) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the Transaction contemplated hereby, will not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
 
   
 
  (d) As of the Trade Date and each date on which a payment of cash is made by Counterparty hereunder, (i) the assets of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty, including contingent liabilities; (ii) the capital of Counterparty is adequate to conduct its business; and (iii) Counterparty has the ability to pay its debts and other obligations as such obligations mature and does not intend to, or believe that it will, incur debt or other obligations beyond its ability to pay as such obligations mature.

  In the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy, Dealer’s rights in connection with this Transaction shall not exceed those rights held by common shareholders.

In addition, Dealer may assign and delegate its rights and obligations under this Transaction to any subsidiary of ML & Co. (the “Assignee”) by notice specifying the effective date of such transfer (“Transfer Effective Date”) and including an (i) executed acceptance and assumption by the Assignee of such rights and obligations; provided that (i) Counterparty will not, as a result of such transfer, be required to pay to the Assignee an amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii), or 6(e)) greater than the amount in respect of which Counterparty would have been required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such transfer; and (ii) the Assignee will not, as a result of such transfer, be required to withhold or deduct on account of a Tax under Section 2(d)(i) of the Agreement (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii), or 6(e)) an amount in excess of that which Dealer would have been required to withhold or deduct in the absence of such transfer, unless the Assignee would be required to make additional payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement corresponding to such excess.
 
   
 
  On the Transfer Effective Date, (a) Dealer shall be released from all obligations
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)

  and liabilities arising under this Transaction; and (b) the assigned and delegated rights and obligations under this Transaction shall cease to be a Transaction under the Agreement and shall be deemed to be a Transaction under an ISDA form of Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) and Schedule substantially in the form of the Agreement but amended to reflect the name of the Assignee and the address for notices and any amended representations under Part 2 of the Agreement as may be specified in the notice of transfer.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
 
   
Indemnity:
  Counterparty agrees to indemnify Dealer, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and controlling parties (each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint and several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject because of a breach of any representation or covenant hereunder, in the Agreement or any other agreement relating to the Agreement or Transaction and will reimburse Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for, or defense of, any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto. Seller will not be liable under the foregoing Indemnity provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from Dealer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
   
Right to Extend:
  Dealer may postpone, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.
Additional Agreements, Representations and Covenants of Counterparty, Etc.:
(a)   Counterparty hereby represents and warrants to Dealer, on each day from the Trade Date to and including the earlier of (i) October 7, 2008 and (ii) the date by which Dealer is able to initially complete a hedge of its position created by this Transaction, that:

  (2)   it has publicly disclosed all material information necessary for it to be able to purchase or sell Shares in compliance with applicable federal securities laws.

(b)   No collateral shall be required by either party for any reason in connection with this Transaction.
 
(c)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Dealer shall not be entitled to receive, nor shall be deemed to receive, any Shares deliverable hereunder to the extent (but only to the extent) that after such receipt of any Shares Dealer’s Ownership Percentage (as defined below) would exceed 8.5% (an “Excess Ownership Position”). The “Ownership Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the greater of (1) the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act but excluding any group formed for the affirmative purpose of changing or influencing control of the Issuer) with Dealer (collectively, “Dealer Group”) “beneficially own” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day and (2) the number of shares that Dealer and all persons comprising part of the same “acquiring person” as Dealer “beneficially own”, as each such term is used in Counterparty’s Rights Agreement between the Counterparty and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company dated as of August 22, 1996, as amended as of November 8, 1999, August 13, 2004, September 8, 2004, December 2, 2004 and December 19, 2005 (as so amended and as may be subsequently amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Rights Agreement”), on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
 
    If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterparty’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after Dealer gives notice that such delivery would not result in the existence of an Excess Ownership Position.
Amendments to Equity Definitions:
(i) The first sentence of Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, prior to clause (A) thereof, is hereby amended to read as follows: ‘(c) If “Calculation Agent Adjustment” is specified as the Method of Adjustment in the related Confirmation of a Share Option Transaction, then following the announcement or occurrence of any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent will determine whether such Potential Adjustment Event has a material effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Shares or options on the Shares and, if so, will (i) make appropriate adjustment(s), if any, to any one or more of:’ and, the portion of such sentence immediately preceding clause (ii) thereof is hereby amended by deleting the words “diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with “material”, and deleting the words “(provided that no adjustments will be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares)” and replacing such latter phrase with the words “(and, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments may be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares)”;
(ii) Sections 11.2(a) and 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions are hereby amended by deleting the words “diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with “material” and adding the phrase “or options on the Shares” at the end of the sentence.

Dear Sir / Madam:
     The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the above-referenced transaction entered into between Counterparty and Dealer on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction"). This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below.
     The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the “Swap Definitions”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions” and, together with the Swap Definitions, the “Definitions"), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern, and in the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. References herein to a “Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to a “Share Option Transaction” for the purposes of the Equity Definitions and to a “Swap Transaction” for the purposes of the Swap Definitions. For purposes of this Transaction, “Warrant Style”, “Warrant Type”, “Number of Warrants” and “Warrant Entitlement” (each as defined below) shall be used herein as if such terms were referred to as “Option Style”, “Option Type”, “Number of Options” and “Option Entitlement”, respectively, in the Definitions.
     This Confirmation evidences a complete binding agreement between you and us as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation (notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein), shall be subject to, and form part of, an agreement in the 1992 form of the ISDA Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement” or “Agreement”) as if we had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule and with elections specified in the “ISDA Master Agreement” Section of this Confirmation) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of this Transaction. The parties hereby agree that the Transaction evidenced by this Confirmation shall be the only Transaction subject to and governed by the Agreement.
     The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:

Facsimile No.:     (724) 514-1871
   
Telephone No.:    (724) 514-1870
   
 
Valuation:  
 
   
 
Valuation Dates:  
Each Exercise Date
   
 
Settlement Terms:  
 
   
 
Settlement Price:  
For each Valuation Date, the Rule 10b-18 Dollar Volume Weighted Average Price of the Shares (“ VWAP ”) calculated from 9:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., as observed under the heading Bloomberg “VWAP” on Bloomberg page MYL.N <equity> VAP (or any successor thereto) (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent); provided that, if the scheduled weekday closing time of the Exchange for any Valuation Date is later than 4:00 p.m. (without regard to after hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours) the VWAP shall be calculated for such Valuation Date from 9:45 a.m. until 15 minutes prior to such later closing time of the Exchange.
   
 
   
Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by replacing clause (ii) in its entirety with “(ii) an Exchange Disruption, or” and inserting immediately following clause (iii) the phrase “; in each case that the Calculation Agent determines is material.”
   
 
Settlement Method:  
Net Physical Settlement only.
   
 
Net Physical Settlement:  
Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer on the Settlement Date a number of Shares (the “ Delivered Shares ”) equal to the Share Delivery Quantity; provided that in the event that the number of Shares calculated comprises any fractional Share, only whole Shares shall be delivered and an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional share shall be payable by the Counterparty to Dealer in lieu of such fractional Share. If, in the reasonable opinion of Dealer or Hedging Party based on advice of counsel, for any reason, the Shares deliverable upon Net Physical Settlement would not be immediately freely transferable by Dealer under Rule 144(b)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), then Dealer or Hedging Party may elect to either (x) accept delivery of such Shares notwithstanding any restriction on transfer or (y) have the provisions set forth under “ Registration/Private Placement ” below apply,
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)

mutatis mutandis.
 
Share Delivery Quantity:  
For each Exercise Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount for such Exercise Date divided by the Settlement Price on the Valuation Date in respect of such Exercise Date plus an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional shares (based on the applicable Settlement Price).
   
 
Net Physical Settlement Amount:  
For any Exercise Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Number of Warrants being exercised on the relevant Exercise Date, (ii) the Strike Price Differential for such Exercise Date and (iii) the Warrant Entitlement.
   
 
Strike Price Differential:  
For any Valuation Date, (i) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Strike Price, an amount equal to the excess of such Settlement Price over the Strike Price for such Valuation Date or (ii) if such Settlement Price is less than or equal to the Strike Price, zero.
   
 
Settlement Date:  
Settlement with respect to each Exercise Date shall occur on the third (3rd) Full Exchange Business Day following the final Valuation Date; provided that Dealer or Hedging Party shall have the right to request by prior written notice to Counterparty a Settlement Date with respect to any Exercise Date and the related Share Delivery Quantity that is three (3) Full Exchange Business Days following such Exercise Date. Such request shall not unreasonably be denied.
 
Limitations on Net Physical Settlement by Counterparty:  
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, the number of Shares that may be delivered at settlement by Counterparty shall not exceed 18,972,416 Shares at any time, as adjusted by Calculation Agent to account for any subdivision, stock-split, stock combination, reclassification or similar dilutive or anti-dilutive event with respect to the Shares and as such number may be increased by operation of the provisions set forth below opposite the caption “Increases in Maximum Deliverable Share Amount ” (“ Maximum Deliverable Share
Amount
”)
.
   
 
   
Counterparty represents and warrants that the number of Available Shares as of the Trade Date is greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. Counterparty covenants and agrees that (i) Counterparty shall not take any action of corporate governance or otherwise to reduce the number of Available Shares below the Maximum Deliverable Share and (ii) Counterparty shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the number of Available Shares at all times to be greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.
   
 
   
For this purpose, “ Available Shares ” means the number of Shares Counterparty currently has authorized (but not issued and outstanding) less the maximum number of Shares that may be required to be issued by Counterparty in connection with stock options, convertibles, and other commitments of Counterparty that may require the issuance or delivery of Shares in connection therewith (other than the Transaction and any amendment thereto or new confirmation evidencing the issuance by Counterparty to Dealer of additional warrants within 30 days of September 3, 2008).
   
 
Increases in Maximum Deliverable
Share Amount:
 
Following the Trade Date, Counterparty agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts seek approval from its shareholders (including, without limitation, to seek such approval at its annual meeting of shareholders in 2009 and, if needed, the annual meeting of shareholders for each following calendar year) to increase the number of authorized but unissued Shares such that the number of Available Shares shall be equal to at least two times the Number of
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)

Warrants that remain unexercised (the “2x Condition ”). Upon Counterparty obtaining such approval for such an increase, the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount shall automatically increase to two times the aggregate Number of Warrants that remain unexercised. Counterparty further agrees that following the Trade Date and until the 2x Condition is satisfied, 30% of the increase in the number of authorized but unissued Shares and/or Shares that are held in treasury that results from any of the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) below shall be reserved solely for delivery in connection with the Transaction, and the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount shall be increased in each case by one-half of the number of such additional authorized but unissued Shares. Until the 2x Condition has been satisfied, Counterparty shall notify Buyer no later than the third Business Day of each month of the occurrence during the immediately preceding month of any of the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) below if the aggregate effect of such events would be to increase the number of additional but authorized Shares by at least 10,000 Shares (including the number of additional authorized but unissued Shares). In the event Counterparty shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable under the Transaction as a result of the “ Limitations on Net Physical Settlement by Counterparty ” set forth above (the resulting deficit, the “ Deficit Shares ”), Counterparty shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time (and, for the avoidance of doubt, irrespective of any early termination or cancellation of the relevant Transaction or the expiration of the relevant Warrants) until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Shares when, and to the extent, that (i) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, pursuant to the settlement or termination of any Share option or other derivative transactions) after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved and (iii) Counterparty additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions. Until the full number of Deficit Shares has been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Counterparty shall immediately notify Buyer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares thereafter.
   
 
Dividends:  
 
   
 
Dividends:  
If at any time during the period from and including the Trade Date, to and including the date on which Counterparty has fully performed its obligations to deliver Shares hereunder, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “ Ex-Dividend Date ”), and that dividend is different from the Regular Dividend on a per Share basis, then the Calculation Agent will, in its reasonable discretion, adjust the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants, the Daily Number of Warrants, the Warrant Entitlement and any other variable it deems appropriate to preserve the fair value of the Warrants after taking into account such dividend and any corresponding adjustment to the Regular Dividend.
   
 
Regular Dividend:  
Initially USD $0.00 per Share per quarter in respect of the Shares. In the event that, in any quarter, a regular quarterly Ex-Dividend Date occurs for which the amount of the corresponding cash dividend is different (the “ New Dividend Amount ”) from the Regular Dividend or no Ex-Dividend Date occurs (in which case the New Dividend Amount shall be zero), then following the adjustment by the Calculation Agent pursuant to “Dividends” above, the Regular Dividend
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)

shall equal the New Dividend Amount.
 
Extraordinary Dividends:  
Any dividend other than Regular Dividends. For the avoidance of doubt, if more than one Ex-Dividend Date occurs in a quarter, the Calculation Agent shall designate any cash dividend other than a Regular Dividend as an Extraordinary Dividend and will, in its reasonable discretion, adjust the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants, the Daily Number of Warrants, the Warrant Entitlement and any other variable it deems appropriate to preserve the fair value of the Warrants after taking into account such Extraordinary Dividend.

Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment:  
If, in respect of any Merger Event to which Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment applies, the adjustments to be made in accordance with Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions would result in the Counterparty being different from the issuer of the Shares, then with respect to such Merger Event, as a condition precedent to the adjustments contemplated in Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions, Dealer, Hedging Party and the Counterparty shall, prior to the Merger Date, have entered into such documentation containing representations, warranties and agreements relating to securities law and other issues as requested by Dealer or Hedging Party that Dealer or Hedging Party has determined, in its reasonable discretion, to be reasonably necessary or appropriate to allow Dealer or Hedging Party to continue as a party to the Transaction, as adjusted under Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions, and to preserve its hedging or hedge unwind activities in connection with the Transaction in a manner compliant with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer or Hedging Party, and if such conditions are not

met or if the Calculation Agent determines that no adjustment that it could make under Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the consequences set forth in Section 12.2(e)(ii) of the Equity Definitions shall apply.

Such number of Shares to be delivered shall be the number of Shares, determined by the Calculation Agent, sufficient for Dealer to realize the cash equivalent of such payment obligation from proceeds of the sale of such number of Shares over a reasonable period of time taking into account any applicable discount (determined in a commercially reasonable manner) to reflect any restrictions on transfer as well as the market value of the Shares.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, upon the designation of an Early Termination Date or the occurrence of Cancellation and Payment in whole or in part hereunder (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an (x) Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of the Master Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) of the Master Agreement that in the case of either (x) or (y) resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control), Counterparty’s payment obligation in respect of this Transaction (the “ Transaction Early Termination Amount ”) may, at the option of Counterparty, be satisfied by the delivery of a number of Shares equal to the Transaction Early Termination Amount divided by the Termination Price (“ Early Termination Stock Settlement ”); provided, however, that Counterparty must notify Dealer and Hedging Party of its election of Early Termination Stock Settlement by the close of business on the day that is two Exchange Business Days following the day that the notice designating the Early Termination Date, or notice that an Extraordinary Event has resulted in the cancellation or termination of the Transaction in whole or in part, is effective; provided further, however, that in no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to Dealer a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. “ Termination Price means the market value per Share on the date that Shares are delivered in connection with such Early Termination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner taking into account any applicable discount to reflect any restrictions on transfer.
   
 
   
A number of Shares calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Stock Settlement will be deliverable on the third Clearance System Business Day following the date that notice specifying the number of Shares deliverable is effective; provided that, if Counterparty is delivering Shares as a result of a Merger Event, Tender Offer, Nationalization or Insolvency, the Settlement Date for such delivery will be immediately prior to the effective date or settlement date for such event and Dealer shall be entitled to receive the type of consideration that a holder of Shares at such time would be entitled to receive (and references herein to Shares shall be deemed to refer to such consideration, as applicable); provided that if such event involves a choice of consideration, Dealer shall be entitled to receive the respective amounts of each type of property (including cash) comprised in such consideration that holders of Shares in the aggregate are entitled to receive. Section 6(d)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following words after the word “paid” in the fifth line thereof: “or any delivery is to be made, as applicable.” The number of Shares delivered pursuant Early Termination Stock Settlement shall not exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount and shall be subject to the provisions under “Registration/Private Placement” hereof regarding Proceeds Amount and the provisions set forth in subsection (c) under “Additional Agreements, Representations and Covenants of Counterparty, Etc.” below.

Transaction in whole or in part is effective, as applicable, if Early Termination Stock Settlement is elected and if so requested by Dealer or Hedging Party upon advice of counsel, Counterparty shall comply with the provisions set forth below opposite the caption “Registration/Private Placement”.
   
 
Registration/Private Placement:  
If the provisions under this heading “Registration/Private Placement” apply, Counterparty shall (subject to its right to make the election described in the immediately succeeding paragraph) (A) afford Dealer and Hedging Party (or an affiliate of Hedging Party designated by Hedging Party) a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; (B) enter into a registration rights agreement with Dealer and Hedging Party (a “ Registered Settlement ”) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Dealer which agreement (“ Registration Rights Agreement ”) will contain among other things, reasonable customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during “blackout dates” as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement and shall satisfy the conditions contained therein; and (C) promptly file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the effectiveness a Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. If and when such Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Counterparty shall have made available to Dealer and Hedging Party such Prospectuses as Dealer may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements for the resale by Dealer and Hedging Party of such number of Shares as Dealer or Hedging Party shall specify (or, if greater, the number of Shares that Counterparty shall specify). Such Registration Statement shall be effective and Prospectus shall be current until the earliest of the date on which (i) all the Delivered Shares or Shares delivered by Counterparty in connection with an Early Termination Date, as the case may be, have been sold, (ii) Dealer and Hedging Party have each advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective, (iii) all remaining Shares could be sold by Dealer and Hedging Party without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “ Termination Registration Period ) or (iv) Counterparty has provided a legal opinion of nationally recognized counsel reasonably acceptable to Dealer in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Dealer and Hedging Party (with customary assumptions and exceptions) that the Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants will be freely tradable under the Securities Act upon delivery to Dealer and not subject to any legend restricting transferability. It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by Dealer and Hedging Party to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Net Physical Settlement or Early Termination Stock Settlement hereunder, as the case may be, but in no event exceeding the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. On each day during the Termination Registration Period Counterparty shall represent to the Dealer and Hedging Party that each of its filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and that, as of the respective dates thereof and as of the date of this representation, they do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
   
 
   
In lieu of a Registered Settlement, Counterparty may elect, by notice to the Dealer and Hedging Party no later than the time the relevant delivery obligation

is due, that this paragraph shall apply:
   
 
   
(a) Counterparty shall afford Dealer and Hedging Party (or an affiliate of Hedging Party designated by Hedging Party) and any potential institutional purchaser of any Shares identified by Dealer or Hedging Party a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for private placements of equity securities subject to execution of any customary confidentiality agreements;
   
 
   
(b) Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “ Private Placement Agreement ”) with Dealer and Hedging Party (or an affiliate of Hedging Party designated by Hedging Party) on commercially reasonable terms in connection with the private placement of such Shares (including any additional Shares pursuant to clause (c) below) by Counterparty to Dealer or an affiliate and the private resale of such shares by Dealer or such affiliate or by Hedging Party or such affiliates, substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, by a publicly reporting company (if Counterparty is a publicly reporting company at such time) to institutional purchasers, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer and Hedging Party, which Private Placement Agreement shall include provisions relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its affiliates, and Hedging Party and its Affiliates, shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all expenses in connection with such resale, including all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer and counsel for Hedging Party, shall contain representations, warranties and agreements of Counterparty reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to Dealer or such affiliate, and to Hedging Party or such affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the offering memorandum prepared for the resale of such Shares;
   
 
   
(c) Dealer and/or Hedging Party shall sell the Delivered Shares or the Shares delivered by Counterparty in connection with Early Termination Stock Settlement, as the case may be, in a commercially reasonable manner until the amount received by Dealer and Hedging Party for the sale of the Shares
(the “ Proceeds Amount ”) is equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount or the Transaction Early Termination Amount, as applicable. Any remaining delivered Shares shall be returned to Counterparty. If the Proceeds Amount is less than the Net Physical Settlement Amount or the Transaction Early Termination Amount, as applicable, Counterparty shall promptly deliver upon notice from Dealer or Hedging Party (or an affiliate of Hedging Party designated by Hedging Party) additional Shares to Dealer until the dollar amount from the sale of such Shares by Dealer, or Hedging Party, as the case may be, equals the difference between the Net Physical Settlement Amount or the Transaction Early Termination Amount, as applicable, and the Proceeds Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to Dealer a number of Shares
OTC Warrant Confirmation (2015)

11


 

     
   
     greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.
 
   
Notwithstanding the foregoing: (I) if Counterparty has elected to deliver Shares as described in paragraph (a) above and either (A) Counterparty does not provide for the sale of the Shares under the Registration Statement as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) the due diligence investigation referred to in clause (A) of the second preceding paragraph does not yield a result reasonably satisfactory to Dealer and Hedging Party (or an affiliate of Hedging Party designated by Hedging Party), (C) some Shares cannot be registered under the Registration Statement due to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act or (D) some Shares cannot be sold due to the application of a blackout period or the failure of the Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to the date on which the relevant delivery obligation is due, then the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall apply to the extent Counterparty has not satisfied its obligations hereunder. (II) If the preceding paragraph is applicable and Counterparty fails to satisfy its obligations under such paragraph, then Counterparty may deliver unregistered Shares of equivalent value to the Net Physical Settlement Amount or the Transaction Early Termination Amount, as applicable, (or, if applicable, the unsatisfied portion thereof). The value of any unregistered Shares so delivered shall be discounted to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount (determined by Hedging Party in a commercially reasonable manner, taking into account Hedging Party’s policies and determinations with respect to any transfer restrictions that it deems advisable, based on the advice of counsel, to observe in connection with sales of such Shares). (III) If some or all of the Delivered Shares or Shares delivered in connection with an Early Termination Stock Settlement, as applicable, cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by Hedging Party in connection with this Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender, then the value of any such Shares shall reflect the cost (determined by Hedging Party in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) to Hedging Party of trading Shares in order to close out its hedge position if any, and the number of Shares required to be delivered shall be adjusted accordingly. In no event shall Counterparty be required to (i) top-up the delivery in cash or (ii) deliver to Dealer a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.
   
 
Compliance With Securities Laws:  
Counterparty represents and agrees that it has complied, and will comply, in connection with this Transaction and all related or contemporaneous sales and purchases of Shares, with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and 13e and Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

(b) Counterparty represents and acknowledges with Buyer and GS that as of the date hereof and without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Dealer or GS is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under FASB Statements 149, 150 or 157, EITF Issue No. 00-19 (or any successor issue statements), under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project or under any other accounting standards or guidance;
   
 
   
(c) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the Transaction contemplated hereby, will not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
   
 
   
(d) As of the Trade Date and each date on which a payment of cash is made by Counterparty hereunder, (i) the assets of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty, including contingent liabilities; (ii) the capital of Counterparty is adequate to conduct its business; and (iii) Counterparty has the ability to pay its debts and other obligations as such obligations mature and does not intend to, or believe that it will, incur debt or other obligations beyond its ability to pay as such obligations mature.

Transfer:  
Neither party may transfer its rights or delegate its obligations under this Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Dealer, after payment in full of the Premium, may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any other person (an " Assignee ”) with the prior consent of the Counterparty (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In addition, Dealer may assign and delegate its rights and obligations under this Transaction to any subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Co (an “ Assignee ”) by notice specifying the effective date of such transfer (“ Transfer Effective Date ”) and including an (i) executed acceptance and assumption by the Assignee of such rights and obligations; provided that Counterparty will not, as a result of such transfer, be required to pay to the Assignee an amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii), or 6(e)) greater than the amount in respect of which Counterparty would have been required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such transfer; and (ii) the Assignee will not, as a result of such transfer, be required to withhold or deduct on account of a Tax under Section 2(d)(i) of the Agreement (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii), or 6(e)) an amount in excess of that which Dealer would have been required to withhold or deduct in the absence of such transfer, unless the Assignee would be required to make additional payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement corresponding to such excess.
   
 
   
On the Transfer Effective Date, (a) Dealer shall be released from all obligations and liabilities arising under this Transaction; and (b) the assigned and delegated rights and obligations under this Transaction shall cease to be a Transaction under the Agreement and shall be deemed to be a Transaction under an ISDA form of Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) and Schedule substantially in the form of the Agreement but amended to reflect the name of the Assignee and the address for notices and any amended representations under Part 2 of the Agreement as may be specified in the notice of transfer.
   
 
   
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates, or Hedging Party, in which event Hedging Party may designate any of its affiliates, to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto. Seller will not be liable under the foregoing Indemnity provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from Dealer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
   
 
Right to Extend:  
Dealer or GS may postpone, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if Dealer or GS determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s or GS’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer or GS to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer or GS were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.

EX-10.9 12 y71159exv10w9.htm EX-10.9: CALCULATION AGENT AGREEMENT EX-10.9
Exhibit 10.9
CALCULATION AGENT AGREEMENT
     THIS CALCULATION AGENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made this 9th day of September, 2008, among Mylan Inc. (the “Issuer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Bank”, and together with the Issuer, the “Transacting Parties”) and Goldman Sachs International (“GSI”, and, in its Calculation Agent and other capacities under the Confirmations (as defined below), the “Calculation Agent”).
RECITALS:
     A. The Transacting Parties are parties to (i) a long form confirmation dated as of September 9, 2008, confirming the terms and conditions of that certain Cash Convertible Bond Hedge Transaction (the “Cash Convertible Bond Hedge Transaction”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Cash Convertible Bond Hedge Confirmation”) and (ii) a long form confirmation dated as of September 9, 2008, confirming the terms and conditions of that certain Issuer Warrant Transaction (the “Issuer Warrant Transaction” and, together with the Cash Convertible Bond Hedge Transaction, the “Transactions”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B (the “Issuer Warrant Confirmation” and, together with the Cash Convertible Bond Hedge Confirmation, the “Confirmations”);
     B. The Transacting Parties wish to appoint GSI to act as Calculation Agent under each of the Confirmations on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
     C. The Transacting Parties acknowledge that Bank will hedge its exposure with respect to the Transactions by entering into back-to-back transactions with GSI (the “Back-to-Back Transactions”).
     D. The Transacting Parties acknowledge that an affiliate of GSI will act as an initial purchaser of the USD 500,000,000 principal amount of 3.75 % cash convertible senior notes due 2015 of the Issuer.
AGREEMENT:
     In consideration of their mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
     Section 1. Appointment of Calculation Agent. The Transacting Parties hereby jointly appoint GSI to act as Calculation Agent and to perform all of the other duties to be performed by GSI under each of the Confirmations. GSI hereby accepts such appointment and undertakes to perform the duties of the Calculation Agent under each of the Confirmations, all in accordance

 


 

with the terms and conditions of the Confirmations (including, but not limited to, the definitions incorporated therein). In no event shall GSI assign its duties as the Calculation Agent, unless it (i) assigns such duties to one of its affiliates simultaneously with an assignment of its rights and obligations under the Back-to-Back Transactions to such an affiliate and (ii) delivers a written notice of such an assignment to the Transacting Parties.
     Section 2. Termination. GSI shall cease to be the Calculation Agent and to be responsible for performance of its duties under any Confirmation upon the termination of the Transaction evidenced by such Confirmation in accordance with the terms of such Confirmation.
     Section 3. Exculpation; No Reliance.
  (a)   For the avoidance of doubt, the Transacting Parties agree that GSI shall have no responsibility or personal liability to either of the Transacting Parties arising from any failure by either Transacting Party to pay or perform any obligation under any Transaction. Each Transacting Party agrees to proceed solely against the other Transacting Party to collect or recover any amount owing to it or enforce any of its rights in connection with or as a result of any Transaction.

Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mylan Prices $500 Million Cash Convertible Notes due 2015
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Mylan Inc. (NYSE: MYL) today announced the pricing of $500 million principal amount of its Cash Convertible Notes due 2015. The notes are being sold in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Mylan also granted the initial purchasers an option to purchase up to $75 million principal amount of additional notes solely to cover overallotments.
The notes, which are unsecured, will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 3.75% per annum and will mature on September 15, 2015. The notes are convertible under certain circumstances into cash at an initial conversion reference rate of 75.0751 shares of Mylan’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which is equal to an initial conversion reference price of approximately $13.32 per share, and which represents an approximate 20% conversion premium based on the last reported sale price of $11.10 per share of Mylan’s common stock on September 9, 2008). The notes are not convertible into shares of Mylan common stock or any other securities.
In addition, Mylan expects to enter into separate cash settled convertible note hedge and net share settled warrant transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers of the notes and/or a financial institution intermediary which expects to involve one or more of the initial purchasers as hedging counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions are comprised of purchased cash-settled call options that will have an exercise price equal to the conversion price of the notes. The warrant transactions are comprised of warrants which Mylan will sell to each counterparty for the purchase of shares of Mylan common stock. These transactions are generally expected to have the economic effect on Mylan of increasing the conversion reference price of the notes to approximately $20.00 per share, representing an approximate 80% effective conversion premium on the last reported sale price of Mylan’s common stock on September 9, 2008. In connection with these transactions, the counterparties have advised Mylan that they or their hedging counterparties may enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Mylan’s common stock concurrently with or shortly following pricing of the notes. These activities could have the effect of increasing or preventing a decline in the price of Mylan’s common stock concurrently with or following the pricing of the notes. In addition, the counterparties or their hedging counterparties may from time to time, following the pricing of the notes, enter into or unwind various derivative transactions with respect to Mylan’s common stock and/or purchase or sell Mylan’s common stock or other securities of Mylan (including the notes) in secondary market transactions. These activities could have the effect of decreasing the price of Mylan’s common stock and its other securities.
Mylan estimates that the net proceeds from this offering of the notes will be approximately $487.5 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses payable by Mylan (or approximately $560.6 million if the initial purchasers exercise their overallotment option in full). Mylan intends to use approximately $85.8 million of the net proceeds from this offering to fund the net cost of convertible note hedge and warrant transactions described above. After funding the net cost of such transactions, Mylan expects to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering to pay down outstanding borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility (which currently bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus

 


 

2.50% per annum) and its senior secured term loan credit facilities (which currently bear interest at rates of LIBOR (or EURIBOR, if applicable) plus between 3.00% to 3.25% per annum).
Mylan expects to close this offering of notes on September 15, 2008, subject to customary closing conditions.
This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes. Any offers of the notes will be made by means of a private confidential offering memorandum. The notes will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
