THE NOTES

Section 2.1 Form, Dating and Denominations; Legends

(a) The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A. The terms and provisions contained in the form of the Note annexed as Exhibit A constitute and are hereby expressly made a part of the Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rules of or agreements with national securities exchanges to which the Company is subject, or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes will be issuable only in denominations of $1,000 in principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.

(b) Restricted Notes. All of the Notes are initially being offered and sold pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement to Initial Purchasers, all of which are Institutional Accredited Investors, and are initially being issued in the form of an IAI Global Note (which will bear the Global Note Legend and the IAI Note Legend set forth in Exhibit A hereto), which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co., duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. All Notes transferred to an Initial Purchaser or a Sponsor Purchaser shall be issued in the form of one or more IAI Global Notes bearing the Global Note Legend and the IAI Note Legend.

The aggregate principal amount of each of the IAI Global Notes and the Restricted Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased

-11-

by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee as hereinafter provided, subject in each case to compliance with the Applicable Procedures.

(c) Global Notes in General. Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, purchases or conversions of such Notes. Any adjustment of the aggregate principal amount of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary.

Agent Members shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or under the Global Note, and the Depositary (including, for this purpose, its nominee) may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.

Section 2.2

Execution and Authentication

. An Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. Typographic and other minor errors or defects in any such facsimile signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Note which has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

-12-

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000 upon receipt of a written order or orders of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (a “Company Order”). The Company Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, shall provide that all such Notes will be represented initially by a Global Note and the date on which each original issue of Notes is to be authenticated. The initial aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed $350,000,000 except as provided in Section 2.07 and except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph.

The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent shall have the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.

Section 2.3 Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent

The Company will at all times maintain a Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served in the United States. One of the Registrars (the “Primary Registrar”) shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Register”).

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. 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 of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion 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 8).

-13-

The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar, and Conversion Agent, and the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as such office or agency of the Company for each of the aforesaid purposes.

Section 2.4 Paying Agent To Hold Money In Trust

. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each date on which the principal amount of or interest, if any, on any Notes is due and payable, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal amount or interest, if any, so becoming due. A Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Noteholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal amount of or interest, if any, on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall, before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each date on which a payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Notes is due and payable, segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee, and 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.

Section 2.5

Noteholder Lists

. 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 Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the Primary Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each semiannual interest payment date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders.

Section 2.6

Transfer and Exchange

. Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in

Section 2.14, when a Note is presented to a Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such Note for an equal principal amount of Notes 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 Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form in the applicable form included in Exhibit A, and in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Note 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 Notes 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 tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, and provided, that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 3.04, Section 9.03(b) or Section 10.02(g) not involving any transfer.

-14-

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

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 Notes upon transfer or exchange of Notes.

Each Holder of a Note agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Note in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law.

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 Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or other beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.7

Replacement Notes

. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Company, a Registrar or the Trustee, or the Company, a Registrar and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Company, the applicable Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as will be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, such Registrar or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute, and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the Company pursuant to Article 3, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay or purchase such Note, as the case may be.

Upon the issuance of any new Notes under this Section 2.07, 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 reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Registrar) in connection therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and

-15-

shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.07 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 Notes.

Section 2.8

Outstanding Notes

. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee, except for those canceled by it, those converted pursuant to Article 10, those delivered to it for cancellation or surrendered for transfer or exchange and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Company receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

If a Paying Agent holds at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Maturity Date Cash sufficient to pay the principal amount of the Notes payable on that date, then on and after the Maturity Date, such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and the principal amount thereof shall cease to bear interest.

Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

Section 2.9

Treasury Notes

. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any notice, direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes 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 notice, direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded; provided, however, that this Section 2.09 shall not apply to any applicable Notes owned by an Initial Purchaser, or a Sponsor Purchaser to which such Notes are transferred in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement, that is deemed to be an Affiliate of the Company solely by virtue of a nominee of Sponsor serving as a director on the Board of Directors other than any such Notes that were transferred to a holder that is not an Initial Purchaser or a Sponsor Purchaser after the Issue Date that were subsequently reacquired by an Initial Purchaser or a Sponsor Purchaser if and for so long as there is a Board Designee (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) on the Board of Directors. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor on the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor. Any Notes or shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Notes that are purchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the Company or such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold

-16-

pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Notes or shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being “restricted securities” (as defined under Rule 144).

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes

. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company with the consent of the Trustee considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Section 2.11 Cancellation

. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 CUSIP Numbers

. The Company in issuing any Global Notes may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of purchase 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 Notes or as contained in any notice of a purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 2.13 Book-entry Provisions For Global Notes

(a) Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. In addition, Certificated Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners, as identified by the Depositary, in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Notes only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for any Global Note (or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act) and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or cessation or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a written request from the Depositary to issue Certificated Notes.

-17-

(b) In connection with the transfer of a Global Note in its entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.13(a), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon written instructions from the Company authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations.

(c) Any Certificated Note constituting a Restricted Certificated Note or an IAI Certificated Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.14, bear the Restricted Note Legend or the IAI Note Legend, as applicable.

(d) The Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any

Person to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. Section 2.14 Special Transfer Provisions .

(a) The Initial Purchasers, the Sponsor Purchasers and the Bank Purchaser may only transfer Notes in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement, provided, such transfers also comply with the transfer restrictions set forth in the IAI Note Legend. Unless and until the Trustee receives written notice from the Company or a Holder that a transfer of a Note has not been made in compliance with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that such transfer was made in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, but except as provided in Section 2.14(c), a Global Note 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.

(c) Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.14(c) to bear the Restricted Note Legend or the IAI Note Legend, and any Common Stock that bears or is required under this Section 2.14(c) to bear the Restricted Common Stock Legend or the IAI Common Stock Legend (collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Restricted Note Legend, the IAI Note Legend, the Restricted Common Stock Legend or the IAI Common Stock Legend, as the case may be, unless such restrictions on transfer shall be waived by written consent of the Company, and the holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Notes holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.14(c), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security or any interest therein.

Any certificate evidencing such Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof), and any stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued upon

-18-

conversion of any Note, shall bear a Restricted Note Legend, IAI Note Legend, Restricted Common Stock Legend or IAI Common Stock Legend, as the case may be, unless such Note or such shares of Common Stock have been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or pursuant to Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force, or such shares of Common Stock have been issued upon conversion of Notes that have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee.

Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to conditions for removal of the Restricted Note Legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.06, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Restricted Note Legend. If the Restricted Note surrendered for exchange is represented by a Global Note bearing the Restricted Note Legend, the principal amount of the legended Global Note shall be reduced by the appropriate principal amount and the principal amount of a Global Note without the Restricted Note Legend shall be increased by an equal principal amount. If a Global Note without the Restricted Note Legend is not then outstanding, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver an unlegended Global Note to the Depositary.

Any such shares of Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for removal of the Restricted Common Stock Legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the Restricted Common Stock Legend required by this Section 2.14.

(d) By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Note Legend or the IAI Note Legend, as the case may be, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Restricted Note Legend or the IAI Note Legend, as the case may be, and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture and as permitted by applicable law.

(e) The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 2.14. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time during normal hours of operation of the Registrar upon the giving of reasonable notice to the Registrar.

Collection Suit by Trustee

.

This Section does not apply to a suit by a Holder to enforce payment of principal of or interest on any Note on the respective due dates, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

Section 6.13 Rights and Remedies Cumulative

. No right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy.

Section 6.14 Delay or Omission Not Waiver

-34-

. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

(i) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall exist on the date of such deposit;

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.07 shall survive and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Section 2.03, Section 2.04, Section 2.05, Section 2.06, Section 2.07, Section 2.12, Section 3.01, Article 5, Article 10 and this Article 8, shall survive and the Company shall be required to make all payments and deliveries required by such Sections or Articles, as the case may be, irrespective of any prior satisfaction and discharge until the Notes have been paid in full.

the Notes;

Section 9.2 Amendments With Consent of Holders

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.07 or paragraph (b), the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture and the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not

(i) reduce the principal amount of, Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to, or any premium or interest payment on any Note,

	(ii)	make any Note payable in currency or securities other than that stated
in the Note,

	(iii)	change the Stated Maturities of any installment of principal of any
Note,

	(iv)	make any change that adversely affects the Holders’ right to convert
any Note,

	(v)	make any change that adversely affects the Holders’ right to require

the Company to purchase the Notes in accordance with the terms thereof and this Indenture,

(vi) impair the right to convert or receive any principal or interest payment with respect to, a Note, or right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment with respect to, or conversion of, the Notes, or

(vii) make any change in the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes required for amendments or waivers.

(c) It is not necessary for Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but is sufficient if their consent approves the substance thereof.

(d) An amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section will become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company will send to the Holders affected thereby a notice

-42-

briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company will send supplemental indentures to Holders upon request.

(b) If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation of the changed terms on the Note and return it to the Holder, or exchange it for a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated. However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver is not affected by any failure to annotate or exchange Notes in this fashion.

Section 9.4 Trustee’s Rights and Obligations

. The Trustee is entitled to receive, and will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by the Indenture. If the Trustee has received such an Opinion of Counsel, it shall sign the amendment, supplement or waiver so long as the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture.

Section 9.5 Conformity With Trust Indenture Act

. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 9.6

ARTICLE 10.

CONVERSION

Section 10.1 Conversion Privilege

(a) A Holder of a Note may convert such Note at any time on or prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in paragraph 7(a), paragraph 7(b), paragraph 7(c), paragraph 7(d) or paragraph 7(e) of the Notes, subject to the provisions of this Article 10. Except as set forth below under Section 10.01(c) and in Section 10.11 and Section 10.12, if a Holder surrenders its Notes for conversion, such Holder will receive, in respect of each $1,000 of principal amount of Notes to be converted:

(i) Cash in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) $1,000 and (B) the Conversion Value (the “Required Cash Amount”), and

(ii) if the Conversion Value is greater than $1,000, a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Remaining Shares”), equal to the sum of the Daily Share Amounts for each of the twenty consecutive Trading Days in the Conversion Reference Period, subject to the right of the Company to deliver Cash in lieu of all or a portion of such Remaining Shares as described below.

(b) By the Close of Business on the Business Day prior to the first scheduled Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Reference Period, the Company may specify a percentage of the Daily Share Amount that will be settled in Cash (the “Cash Percentage”) and will notify the Noteholder of such Cash Percentage through written notice to the Trustee (the “Cash Percentage Notice”). If the Company elects to specify a Cash Percentage, (x) the amount of Cash that the Company will deliver pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 10.01 in respect of each Trading Day in the applicable Conversion Reference Period will equal the product of: (i) the Cash Percentage, (ii) the Daily Share Amount for such Trading Day, and (iii) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock for such Trading Day and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of each Business Day in the applicable Conversion Reference Period (in lieu of the full Daily Share Amount for such Trading Day pursuant to clause (b) above) will be a percentage of the Daily Share Amount equal to 100% minus the Cash Percentage. If the Company does not specify a Cash Percentage by the Close of Business on the Trading Day prior to the first

-44-

scheduled Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Reference Period, the Company shall settle 100% of the Daily Share Amount for each Trading Day in the applicable Conversion Reference Period with shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company will pay Cash in lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable upon conversion of such Note, pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof. The Company may, at its option, revoke any Cash Percentage Notice through written notice to the Trustee by the Close of Business on the Business Day prior to the scheduled first Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Reference Period.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver shares in connection with any conversion of Notes if to do so would constitute a violation of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, any foreign antitrust requirements or any similar laws ("Antitrust Laws") and, to the extent the Company has elected to settle the Conversion Value in excess of the Required Cash Amount in shares (or is required to do so because it has not made any election to the contrary), the Company may defer delivery of the Remaining Shares until permitted under such laws (although such shares will be delivered promptly to the maximum extent permitted) and for avoidance of doubt, in no such event shall the Company be required to deliver cash in lieu of the Remaining Shares. In this regard, in the event of any conversion by any Initial Purchaser or any Sponsor Purchaser while there is an Affiliate or representative of any Initial Purchaser or any Sponsor Purchaser on the Board of Directors or, in any event, prior to the Designee Termination Date (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), in connection with and prior to such conversion, such Person will either (i) certify to the Company that no filings or clearances are required under Antitrust Laws and delivery of shares issued upon such conversion would not violate any Antitrust Laws (and, if requested, provide reasonably detailed information supporting such determination), or (ii) certify that such filings or clearances are required, in which case such Person and the Company will provide reasonable cooperation with one another in connection with the making of such filings and obtaining of such clearances and such Person shall acknowledge that the Remaining Shares (or such portion of the Remaining Shares as to which restrictions under Antitrust Laws are applicable) shall not be required to be delivered until such time as all such filings have been made and such clearances obtained (including the expiration of any applicable waiting periods) or are no longer required. For purposes of the foregoing certifications, it will be assumed that the maximum number of Remaining Shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Notes would be delivered. In connection with a certification pursuant to clause (i), such certification may be based on an irrevocable commitment to sell immediately upon receipt (which will be deemed satisfied if same day) a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock such that no filings or clearances are required under applicable Antitrust Laws in connection with the conversion of such Notes, provided, that if such commitment is the basis for such certification, such Person shall furnish reasonable evidence of such commitment in connection with such conversion and certification.

(d) A Holder may convert a portion of the principal amount of a Note if the portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Note also apply to conversion of a portion of a Note.

-45-

(e) In the event of a stock split, combination, dividend or any other event resulting in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.06, 10.07, 10.08, 10.09 or 10.10, during the applicable Conversion Reference Period, appropriate adjustment to the equation for calculating Conversion Value and Remaining Shares shall be made, as determined by the Board of Directors.

(f) Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder may be converted pursuant to this Article 10 only if the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.02.

(g) Whenever any event described in paragraph 7(a), paragraph 7(b), paragraph 7(c), paragraph 7(d) or paragraph 7(e) of the Notes shall occur such that the Notes become convertible as provided in this Article 10, the Company shall (x) issue a press release and use its reasonable efforts to post such information on its website or otherwise publicly disclose this information or (y) promptly deliver, in accordance with Section 12.03, written notice of the convertibility of the Notes to the Trustee and each Noteholder and to the Conversion Agent for the benefit of the Noteholders, which press release, website posting, public disclosure or written notice, as the case may be, shall include:

(i) a description of such event;

(ii) a description of the periods during which the Notes shall be convertible as provided in paragraph 7(a), paragraph 7(b), paragraph 7(c), paragraph 7(d) or paragraph 7(e) of the Notes as a result of such event;

(iii) a statement of whether an adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall take

effect in respect of such event pursuant to Section 10.13; and

(iv) the procedures Noteholders must follow to convert their Notes in

accordance with this Article 10, including the name and address of the Conversion Agent. Section 10.2 Conversion Procedure .

(a) To convert a Note represented by a Global Note, a Noteholder must convert by book-entry transfer to the Conversion Agent through the facilities of the DTC. To convert a Note that is represented by a Certificated Note, a Noteholder must (1) complete and manually sign a Conversion Notice, a form of which is on the back of the Note, and deliver such Conversion Notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Note to the Conversion Agent, (3) if required by the Conversion Agent, furnish appropriate endorsement and transfer documents, and (4) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes. The Conversion Agent shall, within one (1) Business Day of any Conversion Date, provide notice to the Company, as set forth in Section 12.03, of the occurrence of such Conversion Date.

-46-

(b) As promptly as practicable following the end of the Conversion Reference Period applicable to the Notes being converted, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, through the Conversion Agent, the Required Cash Amount and Remaining Shares, if any (including Cash in lieu of Remaining Shares pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof and Cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof). The person in whose name the certificate representing any shares is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record on and after the last Trading Day of the Conversion Reference Period; provided, however, that no surrender of a Note on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive the Remaining Shares upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the Close of Business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open. Upon conversion of a Note, such person shall no longer be a Holder of such Note.

(c) No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on, or other distributions with respect to, any Common Stock except as provided in this Article 10. Upon conversion of a Note, a Noteholder will not receive, except as described below, any Cash payment representing accrued interest. Instead, accrued interest will be deemed paid by the Cash and/or shares of common stock, if any, received by the Noteholder upon conversion. Delivery to the Noteholder of such Cash and/or shares of Common Stock will thus be deemed (1) to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of a Note, and (2) to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Note. As a result, upon conversion of a Note, accrued and unpaid interest on such Note is deemed paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

(d) Holders of Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the Close of Business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business of such Interest Payment Date will receive the semiannual interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion, and such Notes upon surrender must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of such payment; provided that no such payment need be made (x) in connection with any conversion following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, (y) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date or (z) to the extent of any Defaulted Interest, if any Defaulted Interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. The Company shall not be required to convert any Notes that are surrendered for conversion without payment of interest as required by this paragraph.

(e) If the Holder converts more than one Note at the same time, the Required Cash Amount and the Remaining Shares, if any (together with the Cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional shares) shall be based on the total principal amount of the Notes converted.

-47-

(f) If the last day on which a Note may be converted is a Legal Holiday, the Note may be surrendered on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday.

(g) Upon surrender of a Note that is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 10.3 Fractional Shares

. The Company will not issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of a Note. Instead, the Company will deliver Cash in lieu of a fractional share based on arithmetic average of the Volume Weighted Average Price of Common Stock for each of the twenty consecutive Trading Days of the Conversion Reference Period, rounded to the nearest whole cent (the “Average Price”).

Section 10.4 Taxes On Conversion

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

Section 10.5 Company To Provide Common Stock

The Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved and keep available for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the delivery in respect of all outstanding Notes of the number of Remaining Shares due upon conversion, including as may be adjusted for share splits, combinations or other similar transactions (assuming, for purposes of this sentence, that the Company elects to deliver solely shares of Common Stock in respect of its obligation to deliver the Remaining Shares).

All shares of Common Stock delivered upon payment of the Remaining Shares, if applicable, upon conversion of the Notes shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

The Company will comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon payment of the Remaining Shares, if applicable, upon conversion of Notes, if any, and will list or cause to have quoted such shares of Common Stock on

-48-

each national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market or such other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

In addition, if any shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority before such shares of Common Stock may be issued upon such conversion, the Company will cause such shares of Common Stock to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be.

Section 10.6 Adjustment for Change In Capital Stock

(a) If the Company shall, at any time and from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, issue a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock payable in shares of its Common Stock to all holders of its Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate at the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution will be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, plus the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Ex-Dividend Date.

If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.06(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, in no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.06(a).

(b) If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately decreased. In each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by multiplying such

Conversion Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision, combination or reclassification and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock

-49-

outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination. Such increase or reduction, as the case may be, shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision, combination or reclassification becomes effective.

Section 10.7 Adjustment for Rights Issue

. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Notes are outstanding, distribute rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period expiring within 60 days after the record date for such distribution, to purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the Closing Prices for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the first public announcement of the distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution by a fraction:

(x)	the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for purchase; and

(y)	the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered would purchase at the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the declaration date for such distribution (determined by multiplying such total number of shares of Common Stock so offered by the exercise price of such rights or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such Current Market Price).

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants or upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution had not occurred. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the Closing Prices for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the first public announcement of the relevant distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights and the value of such consideration if other than Cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Except as set forth in this paragraph, in no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.07.

-50-

Section 10.8 Adjustment for Other Distributions

(a) If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Notes are outstanding, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any of its Capital Stock, assets, or debt securities or any rights, warrants or options to purchase securities of the Company (excluding (w) any distribution of Capital Stock of, or similar equity interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company referred to in Section 10.08(b) below, (x) any distributions described in Section 10.06(a) above, (y) any rights or warrants described in Section 10.07 above, (z) any all-cash dividends or other cash distributions referred to in Section 10.09 below) (such Capital Stock, assets, debt securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company being distributed hereinafter in this Section 10.08 called the “Distributed Assets”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:

	(i)	the numerator of which will be the Current Market Price of the
Common Stock, and

	(ii)	the denominator of which will be the Current Market Price of the

Common Stock minus the fair market value, as determined by the Board of Directors, of the portion of Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such Ex-Dividend Date).

Such increase shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Except as set forth in the prior sentence, in no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.08(a).

If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 10.08(a) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any Distributed Assets comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the “Reference Period”) used in computing the Current Market Price for purposes of clause (i) above, unless the Board of Directors determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Holders.

(b) With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.08 where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock of shares of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:

-51-

(i) the numerator of which shall be (a) the average of the closing sale prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the five Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution on the principal national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which such securities are then listed or traded, plus (b) the average of the Closing Prices over the five Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution (the “Average Sale Price”), and

		(ii)		the denominator of which shall be the Average Sale Price.
Section 10.9		Adjustment for Cash Dividends

. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its shares of Common Stock, Cash (excluding (x) any distributions described in Section 10.10 below or (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up), then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business of the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution by a fraction:

(x)	the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock; and

(y)	the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such date, less the amount of the distribution per share of Common Stock.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the

Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Section 10.10 Adjustment for Certain Tender Offers or Exchange Offers

. In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, at any time or from time to time, while any of the Notes are outstanding, distribute Cash or other consideration in respect of a tender offer or an exchange offer (that is treated as a “tender offer” under U.S. federal securities laws) made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock, where the sum of the aggregate amount of such Cash distributed and the aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution), as of the Expiration Date (as defined below), of such other consideration distributed (such sum, the “Aggregate Amount”) expressed as an amount per share of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged, and not withdrawn, pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer as of the Expiration Time (as defined below) (such tendered or exchanged shares of Common

-52-

Stock, the “Purchased Shares”) exceeds the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the first Trading Day immediately following the last date (such last date, the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (as the same may be amended through the Expiration Date), then, and in each case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date by a fraction:

(x)	the numerator of which is equal to the sum of (A) the Aggregate Amount and (B) the product of (I) an amount equal to (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) at which tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer less (2) the Purchased Shares and (II) the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the first Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date; and

(y)	the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Expiration Time (including all Purchased Shares) and (B) the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the first Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date.

An adjustment, if any, to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.10 shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the second Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date. In the event that the Company or a Subsidiary is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if the application of this Section 10.10 to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 10.10.

Section 10.11 Provisions Governing Adjustment to Conversion Rate

. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of Section 10.06, Section 10.07, Section 10.08, Section 10.09 or Section 10.10 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under Section 10.06, Section 10.07, Section 10.08, Section 10.09 or Section 10.10 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under Section 10.08, except as set forth in Section 10.23. If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed

-53-

prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights, options or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof), except as set forth in Section 10.23. In addition, except as set forth in Section 10.23, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under Section 10.06, Section 10.07, Section 10.08, Section 10.09 or Section 10.10 was made (including any adjustment contemplated in Section 10.23), (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a Cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

Section 10.12 Disposition Events

. If any of the following events (any such event, a “Disposition Event”) occurs:

(a) any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination);

(b)	any merger, consolidation or other combination involving the Company; or

(c)	any sale, conveyance, lease, or other disposal of all or substantially all the

properties and assets of the Company to any other Person;

in each case, as a result of which all of the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Cash, securities or other property for their shares of Common Stock, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture, if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.01, and subject to the provisions of paragraph 7 of the Notes, the Conversion Value with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted following the effective date of any Disposition Event, shall be calculated based on the kind and amount of Cash, securities or other property (collectively, “Reference Property”) received upon the occurrence of such Disposition Event by a holder of Common Stock holding, immediately prior to the transaction, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately

-54-

prior to such Disposition Event; provided that if the Disposition Event provides the holders of Common Stock with the right to receive more than a single type of consideration determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, the Reference Property shall be comprised of the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock.

If the Conversion Value of the Notes shall be based on Reference Property as set forth above, the Company’s obligation to deliver the consideration described in Section 10.01 with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered for conversion after the effective date of any such Disposition Event, shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.01, be settled in Cash and units of Reference Property (if applicable) and the Company shall deliver, as promptly as practicable immediately following the last Trading Day of the Conversion Reference Period:

(1)	Cash in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) $1,000 and (B) the Conversion Value, and

(2)	if the Conversion Value is greater than $1,000, an amount in Reference Property, determined as set forth in Section 10.01(b), with a fair market value, as determined by the Conversion Agent, equal to the Conversion Value less $1,000; and

(3)	an amount in Cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock, if applicable, calculated based on the Average Price,

provided that, in each case, (x) the Conversion Value and the Daily Share Amounts, shall be determined as if the words “Volume Weighted Average Price per share of Common Stock” in the definition of each such term were replaced by the words “Volume Weighted Average Price per unit of Reference Property composed of the kind and amount of Cash, securities or other property that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such Disposition Event would have owned or been entitled to receive,” (y) the Volume Weighted Average Price shall be determined with respect to such a unit of Reference Property and (z) references to “Remaining Shares” and “shares of Common Stock” were instead references to “a unit of Reference Property composed of the kind and amount of Cash, securities or other property that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such Disposition Event would have owned or been entitled to receive.”

Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 10. If, in the case of any such Disposition Event, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Disposition Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Noteholders as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

-55-

The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Noteholder, at the address of such Noteholder as it appears on the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

The above provisions of this Section 10.12 shall similarly apply to successive Disposition

Events.

If this Section 10.12 applies to any event or occurrence, none of Section 10.06, Section 10.07, Section 10.08, Section 10.09 or Section 10.10 shall apply.

Section 10.13 Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon Change in Control Transactions, Discretionary Adjustment .

(a) If, after the Issue Date, a Change in Control occurs and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Change in Control, the Company will increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Make-Whole Shares”), as described in this Section 10.13. A conversion of Notes will be deemed for the purposes of this Section 10.13 to be “in connection with” a Change in Control transaction if the notice of conversion of the Notes is received by the Conversion Agent from and including the effective date of the Change in Control transaction up to and including the Trading Day prior to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

(b) The number of Make-Whole Shares will be determined by reference to the table below and is based on the date which such Change in Control transaction becomes effective (the “Change in Control Effective Date”) and the price paid per share of Common Stock in the Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof), or in the case of all other Changes in Control, the average of the Closing Prices per share of Common Stock over the five Trading-Day period ending on the Trading Day preceding the relevant Change in Control Effective Date (the “Stock Price”). If holders of Common Stock receive only cash in the case of a Change in Control described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, 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 per share of Common Stock over the five Trading-Day period ending on the Trading Day preceding the relevant Change in Control Effective Date.

(c) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted. 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 Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. In addition, the number of Make-Whole Shares on the table below will be subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 10.06 through Section 10.10.

(d) If the exact Stock Prices and Change in Control Effective Dates are not set forth in the table, then: (i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Change in Control Effective Date is between two Change in Control Effective Dates in the table, the Make-Whole Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Make-Whole Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Change in Control Effective Dates in the table, based on a 365-day year, (ii) if the Stock Price is in excess of $30.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 10.13(c), no Make-Whole Shares will be issued upon conversion of the Notes; and (iii) if the Stock Price is less than $5.77 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 10.13(c), no Make-Whole Shares will be issued upon conversion of the Notes.

(e) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Sections 10.06, 10.07, 10.08, 10.09 and 10.10 as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

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

-57-

such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

Section 10.14 When Adjustment May Be Deferred

. No adjustment in the Conversion Rate need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate. Any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate shall be carried forward and taken into account in determining any subsequent adjustment. In addition, the Company shall make any carry forward adjustments not otherwise effected upon notice of a required purchase of the notes pursuant to Section 3.01, and on January 1, 2012.

Section 10.15 When No Adjustment Required

(a) No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in Section 10.06, Section 10.07, Section 10.08, Section 10.09 or Section 10.10 if Noteholders participate, without conversion, in the transaction or event that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment pursuant to such Section at the same time as holders of the Common Stock participate with respect to such transaction or event and on the same terms as holders of the Common Stock participate with respect to such transaction or event as if Noteholders, at such time, held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate at such time.

(b) No adjustment need be made for the issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase Common Stock or any such security.

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

(d) No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock.

(e) To the extent the Notes become convertible pursuant to this Article 10 into Cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the Cash. Interest will not accrue on the Cash.

(f) The Conversion Rate shall not exceed 173.3482 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes on account of adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Article 10, subject to the adjustments set forth in Sections 10.06, 10.07, 10.08, 10.09 and 10.10 above. Further, notwithstanding anything in this Article 10 (subject only to the provisions of the second succeeding sentence), the conversion rate shall not exceed 1,007.2226 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, other than as a result of adjustments to the Conversion Rate in the manner set forth in Sections 10.06, 10.07 and 10.08 (such limitations herein referred to as the “Conversion Rate Cap”). The Company shall not take any action if, as a result of such action, the adjustment to the

-58-

Conversion Rate that would otherwise be made pursuant to the provisions of 10.09 or 10.10 would be limited by the Conversion Rate Cap, unless such action would not result in a violation of NASD Rule 4350 as such rule or successor to such rule may be then in effect and interpreted by the NASD. If such action would not result in a violation of NASD Rule 4350, then the Conversion Rate Cap shall not apply to such action taken by the Company.

Section 10.16 Notice of Adjustment

. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to

Noteholders a notice of the adjustment. The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent such notice and a certificate from the Company’s independent public accountants briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same to any Holder desiring inspection thereof.

Section 10.17 Notice of Certain Transactions

. If (a) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.06, 10.07, 10.08, 10.09 or 10.10 (unless no adjustment is to occur pursuant to Section 10.14 or Section 10.15), (b) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 10.12, or (c) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, then the Company shall mail to Noteholders and file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a notice stating the proposed Ex-Dividend Date for a dividend or distribution or the proposed effective date of a subdivision, combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, transfer, liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall file and mail the notice at least 15 days before such date; provided that if the Company elects to make a distribution described in Section 10.07, Section 10.08, or Section 10.09, and in the case of Section 10.08 or Section 10.09, that has a per share value equal to more than 10% of the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the day preceding the declaration date for such distribution, the Company shall give notice to Holders at least 20 Trading Days prior to the Ex-dividend Date for such distribution. Failure to file or mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of the transaction.

Section 10.18 Right of Holders to Convert

. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right to convert its Note in accordance with this Article 10 and paragraph 7 of the Notes and to bring an action for the enforcement of any such right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 10.19 Company Determination Final

-59-

Closing Price, the Conversion Price, the Required Cash Amount, the Applicable Conversion Rate and the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, to be issued upon conversion of the Notes. The Company shall make all these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, the Company’s calculations will be final and binding on Noteholders. The Company shall provide a schedule of the Company’s calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification.

Section 10.20 Trustee’s Adjustment Disclaimer

. The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 10 should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee has no duty to determine whether a supplemental indenture under Section 10.12 need be entered into or whether any provisions of any supplemental indenture are correct. The Trustee shall not be accountable for and makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Notes. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this Article 10. Each Conversion Agent shall have the same protection under this Section 10.20 as the Trustee.

Section 10.21 Simultaneous Adjustments

(a) For purposes of Section 10.08, Section 10.06(a) and Section 10.07, any dividend or distribution to which Section 10.08 is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the debt securities, assets or shares of Capital Stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights (and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 10.08 with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 10.06(a) and Section 10.07 with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 10.06(a).

(b) The reclassification of the Common Stock into securities including securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon an event to which Section 10.12 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than the Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be the “Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of this Section 10.08), and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” or “the day upon which such combination becomes effective,” as the case may be, and “the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective” within the meaning of Section 10.06(b)).

Section 10.22 Successive Adjustments

. After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Article 10, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Article 10 shall cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

Section 10.23 Rights Issued in Respect of Common Stock Issued Upon Conversion.

In the event the Company adopts or implements a shareholder rights agreement (a “Shareholder Rights Plan”) pursuant to which rights (“Rights”) are distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company and such Shareholder Rights Plan provides that each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes at any time prior to the distribution of separate certificates representing such Rights will be entitled to receive such Rights, then there shall not be any adjustment to the conversion privilege or Conversion Rate at any time prior to the distribution of separate certificates representing such Rights. If, however, prior to any conversion, the Rights have separated from the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of the Common Stock, its assets, debt securities or rights as described in Section 10.08 above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such Rights.

Section 10.24 Withholding Taxes for Adjustments in Conversion Rate

. The Company may, at its option, set-off withholding taxes due with respect to Notes against payments of Cash and Common Stock on the Notes to the extent required by law. In the case of any such set-off against Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Notes, such Common Stock shall be valued based on the arithmetic average of the Volume Weighted Average Price for each Trading Day in the relevant Conversion Reference Period.

ARTICLE 11.

PAYMENT OF INTEREST

Section 11.1 Interest Payments

Interest on any Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any applicable Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Note 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. Each installment of interest payable in Cash on any Note shall be paid in same-day funds by transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the United States, if the Trustee shall have received proper wire transfer instructions from such payee not later than the related Regular Record Date or, if no such instructions have been received by check drawn on a bank in the United States mailed to the payee at its address set forth on the Registrar’s books. In the case of a Global Note, interest payable on any applicable payment date will be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds to the Depositary, with respect to that portion of such Global Note held for its account by Cede & Co. for the purpose of permitting such party to

-61-

credit the interest received by it in respect of such Global Note to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.

Section 11.2 Defaulted Interest

. Except as otherwise specified with respect to the Note, any interest on any Note that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, within 30 days following any applicable payment date (herein called “Defaulted Interest,” which term shall include any accrued and unpaid interest that has accrued on such defaulted amount in accordance with paragraph 1 of the Notes), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below.

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the persons in whose names the Notes 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 Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time 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 on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment (the “Special Record Date”). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Notes at his address as it appears on the list of Noteholders maintained pursuant to Section 2.05 not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the Close of Business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).

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

The Conversion Agent will determine on the Company’s behalf at the beginning of each calendar quarter commencing at any time after March 31, 2007 through the calendar quarter ending

A-10

December 31, 2011 whether the Notes are convertible as a result of the price of the Common Stock pursuant to clause (a) above and will notify the Company and the Trustee if the Notes are so convertible.

The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes pursuant to clause (b) above unless the Company has requested such determination; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Closing Price and the Conversion Rate. At such time, the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Closing Price and the Conversion Rate.

If the Company makes a distribution described in subsection (c)(i) or (c)(ii), the Company must notify Holders at least 20 Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of the Close of Business on the Business Day prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution or the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place, even if the Notes are not convertible at that time.

The Company will notify Noteholders and the Trustee as promptly as practicable following the date on which the Company publicly announces any transaction described in clause (d) above, but in no event less than 20 Trading Days’ prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction in the case of a Change in Control within the control of the Company or of which the Company has at least 30 Trading Days prior notice. Noteholders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time after the date that is 15 Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction until 35 Trading Days after the actual date of such transaction (or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the Fundamental Change Purchase Date).

8. Defaults and Remedies.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically become due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the

Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies.

9. Amendment and Waiver.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Company and

A-11

the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or if such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect.

10. Registered Form; Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Trustee will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note or certain portions of a Note.

11.	Persons Deemed Owners.

	The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of this Note for all purposes.

12.	Unclaimed Money or Notes.

The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written request any money or securities held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property laws. After return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

13. Trustee Dealings with the Company.

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

14. No Recourse Against Others.

A director, officer, incorporator, agent, subsidiary, employee, member or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.
