Conversion Right and Conversion Price. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article Four, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Note or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, at the Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. Such conversion right shall expire at the close of business on the Final Maturity Date of the Notes. In case a Note or portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Note or the portion so called for redemption shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption. In the case of a Change of Control for which the Holder exercises its repurchase right with respect to a Note or portion thereof by delivering a Change of Control Repurchase Notice as contemplated by Section 601(d), the conversion right in respect of such Note or portion thereof, as the case may be, shall not exercisable except to the extent that such Holder shall have withdrawn such Change of Control Repurchase Notice prior to the close of business on the applicable Change of Control Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with Section 602 hereof. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (the "Conversion Price") shall be initially equal to $32.95 per share of Common Stock. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (h) and (i) of Section 404 and in Section 412 hereof. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note (or portions thereof) shall be equal to the amount obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Note (or portion thereof) being converted by the Conversion Price as in effect at the time of conversion and rounding the quotient to the nearest 1/100th of a share, with 5/1,000ths of a share rounded upwards. Section 402. Exercise of Conversion Right. To exercise the conversion right, the Holder of any Note to be converted shall surrender such Note duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, at the office of any agent appointed by the Company for such purpose from time to time (each, a "Conversion Agent"), accompanied by a duly signed conversion notice substantially in the form attached to form of Note appearing as Annex A hereto stating that the Holder elects to convert such Note or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be 14 converted, the portion thereof to be converted. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article Four or the Notes to the contrary, the right to convert any Global Note (or portion thereof), including the giving of the aforesaid conversion notice and the surrender of Global Notes (or portions thereof) for conversion, shall be exercised in accordance with the Depository's customary procedures as in effect from time to time. Except as set forth in the following paragraph, no adjustment or payment will be made on conversion of any Notes for interest accrued thereon. The Company's delivery to a Holder of the full number of shares of Common Stock into which a Note is convertible, together with any cash payment for fractional shares, shall be deemed to satisfy the Company's obligation to pay the principal of such Note and, except as set forth in the following paragraph, to satisfy the Company's obligation to pay accrued interest on such Note attributable to the period from the most recent Interest Payment Date to the conversion date. Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding paragraph or any other provisions of the Indenture or the Notes to the contrary, if any Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date for the payment of interest on the Notes and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date for the Notes, the Persons who were the Holders of such Notes at the close of business on such Regular Record Date shall receive the interest payable on such Notes on such Interest Payment Date (being the full amount of interest accrued to such Interest Payment Date) notwithstanding such conversion. Notes converted after the close of business on any Regular Record Date for the payment of interest on the Notes but prior to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date for the Notes shall, upon surrender for conversion, be accompanied by funds in an amount equal to the amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of Notes being surrendered for conversion; provided, however, that if such Notes have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date that occurs after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the third Business Day after such Interest Payment Date, no such payment shall be required. Notes shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of such Notes for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Notes as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the applicable Conversion Agent a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, together with cash payment in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 403 hereof. In the case of any Note which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the unconverted portion of such Notes. Section 403. Fractions of Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Note or Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for 15 conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issued upon conversion of any Note or Notes (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share, with 5/1,000ths of a share being rounded upwards) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion (rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half of one cent rounded upwards). Section 404. Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments, calculated by the Company, from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 404(g)) fixed for such determination, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution. Such reduction shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 404(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (b) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. (c) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price on the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the 16 Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Record Date by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Record Date plus the number of shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would purchase at such Current Market Price, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on such Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which 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 (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such Record Date had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, 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 or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, the value of such consideration if other than cash to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 404(a) applies) or evidences of indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 404(c), (2) dividends or distributions of Capital Stock of, or similar equity interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company resulting in a change in the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 412 hereof, (3) any stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) distributed in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance resulting in a change in the conversion consideration pursuant to Section 411 hereof, and (4) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash (the securities and other property and assets (including cash) described in foregoing clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) hereinafter in this Section 404(d) called the "excluded property"), then, in each such case, subject to the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 404(d), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall be equal to the price 17 determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such dividend or distribution by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) on such Record Date of the portion of the Capital Stock, indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, so distributed (other than excluded property) applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date), and (2) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price. Such reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Capital Stock, indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, so distributed (other than excluded property) applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of Capital Stock, indebtedness, cash and other assets, including securities, so distributed (other than excluded property) that such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors of the Company determines the fair market value of any dividend or distribution for purposes of this Section 404(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such dividend or distribution (other than excluded property), it must in so doing consider the prices in such market over the same period (the "Reference Period") used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 404(g) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors of the Company in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Holders. 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 or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (each, a "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 this Section 404(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 404(d) will be required) until the 18 occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and Record Date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of any such rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 404(d): (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price 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 of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrant (assuming such holder had retained such rights 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 or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued. For purposes of this Section 404(d) and Sections 404(a), 404(b) and 404(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 404(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, a subdivision or combination of Common Stock to which Section 404(b) applies, or the issuance of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) to which Section 404(c) applies (or any combination thereof), shall be deemed instead to be: (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of Capital Stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants to which Sections 404(a), 404(b) and 404(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 404(d) 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, such subdivision or combination or the issuance of such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 404(a), 404(b) and 404(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution, subdivision or combination or issuance of such rights or warrants shall then be made), except: (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (x) "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution", "Record Date (as defined in Section 19 404(g)) fixed for such determination" and "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 404(a), (y) "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" and "the day upon which such combination becomes effective" and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of Section 404(b), and (z) as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", "the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and the "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 404(c), and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 404(g)) fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 404(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution. (e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance resulting in a change in the conversion consideration pursuant to Section 411 hereof or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 404(d) hereof), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with: (1) the aggregate amount of any other such dividends or distributions to all holders of Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 404(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate amount of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) of other consideration payable in respect of any tender offers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock that expired within the 12 months preceding the date of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 404(f) hereof has been made, exceeds 5% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 404(g)) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such Record Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 5%, and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date, and 20 (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date. However, in the event that the amount computed pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be zero or a negative number then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) that combined together with: (1) the aggregate amount of the cash plus the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock that expired within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 404(f) has been made, plus (2) the aggregate amount of any dividends or distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 404(e) has been made, exceeds 5% of the product of the Current Market Price as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and 21 (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time. Such reduction (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Company or any such Subsidiary, as the case may be, is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company or any such Subsidiary, as the case may be, is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such tender offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 404(f) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 404(f). (g) For purposes of this Section 404, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: (1) "Current Market Price" shall mean the average of the daily Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in question; provided, however, that if: (i) the "ex" date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 404(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs during such ten consecutive Trading Days, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event; (ii) the "ex" date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 404(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs on or after the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event; and (iii) the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation is prior to the day in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on or after such "ex" date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair market 22 value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of Section 404(d) or (f), whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or other assets being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the day before such "ex" date. For purposes of any computation under Section 404(f), the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for such day and the next two succeeding Trading Days; provided, however, that if the "ex" date for any event (other than the tender offer requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 404(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs on or after the Expiration Time for the tender offer requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex" date, when used: (A) with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution; (B) with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective, and (C) with respect to any tender offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Price are called for pursuant to this Section 404, such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 404 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. (2) "fair market value" shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm's length transaction. (3) "Record Date" shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to 23 receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise). (h) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by Section 404(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) and Section 412, as the Board of Directors of the Company considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and the reduction is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that such reduction would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution. Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and each Holder at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register a notice of the reduction at least 15 days prior to the date the reduced Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the reduced Conversion Price and the period during which it will be in effect. (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 404(i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article Four shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be, with one-half of one cent and 5/1000ths of a share being rounded upwards. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock. (j) In any case in which this Section 404 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a Record Date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Note converted after such Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment, and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 403 hereof. (k) For purposes of this Section 404, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution of any kind on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. Section 405. Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided (other than in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 404(h) for which the notice required by such paragraph has been 24 provided), the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Promptly after delivery of such Officers' Certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective, and shall mail such notice to each Holder at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register within 20 days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment. Section 406. Notice Prior to Certain Actions. In case at any time after the date hereof: (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its capital surplus or its consolidated retained earnings; (2) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Capital Stock of any class (or of securities convertible into shares of Capital Stock of any class) or of any other rights; (3) there shall occur any reclassification or change of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, a change in par value, a change from par value to no par value or a change from no par value to par value), or any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or the sale, transfer, lease, disposition or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company; or (4) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; the Company shall cause to be provided to the Trustee, each Conversion Agent and all Holders in accordance with Sections 105 and 106 of the Original Indenture, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating: (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (B) the date on which such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale, transfer, lease, disposition or other conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share 25 exchange, sale, transfer, lease, disposition or other conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Neither the failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings or actions described in clauses (1) through (4) of this Section 406. Section 407. Company to Reserve Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights and other similar rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Notes, the full number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all Notes outstanding. Section 408. Taxes on Conversions. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes (other than taxes on income) and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes pursuant hereto. A Holder delivering a Note for conversion shall be liable for and will be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Note or Notes to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid. Section 409. Covenant as to Common Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Notes will upon issue be duly authorized, validly issued fully paid and nonassessable and free of all preemptive and other similar rights and, except as provided in Section 408, the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. Section 410. Cancellation of Converted Notes. All Notes delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee to be cancelled by the Trustee as provided in Section 309 of the Original Indenture. Section 411. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of following events occur, namely: (1) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of 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), (2) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination of the Company with or into another Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, or (3) any sale, transfer, disposition or other conveyance of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company to any other Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, 26 the Company or the successor or transferee 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 such Note shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) that such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance had such Notes been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, assuming that such holder of Common Stock did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance; provided, however, that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("Non-Electing Share"), then for the purposes of this Section 411 the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance for each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article Four. If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a Person other than the successor or transferee Person, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth in Article Six hereof. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the Security Register, 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 411 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances. If this Section 411 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 404 hereof shall not apply. Section 412. Adjustment for Other Distributions. If the Company pays a dividend or makes a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock consisting of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula: 27 P' = P x 1/(1 + F/M) where: P' = the adjusted Conversion Price. P = the current Conversion Price. M = the average of the Post-Distribution Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the date on which "ex-dividend trading" commences for such dividend or distribution on the principal United States exchange or market which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted (the "Ex-Dividend Date"). F = the fair market value of the securities distributed in respect of each share of Common Stock, which shall mean the number of securities distributed in respect of each share of Common Stock multiplied by the average of the Post-Distribution Prices of those securities for the 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend Date. "Post-Distribution Price" of Capital Stock or any similar equity interest on any date means the closing per unit sale price (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on such date for trading of such units on a "when issued" basis without due bills (or similar concept) as reported in the composite transactions for the principal United States securities exchange on which such Capital Stock or equity interest is traded or, if the Capital Stock or equity interest, as the case may be, is not listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System or by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated; provided that if on any date such units have not traded on a "when issued" basis, the Post-Distribution Price shall be the closing per unit sale price (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on such date for trading of such units on a "regular way" basis without due bills (or similar concept) as reported in the composite transactions for the principal United States securities exchange on which such Capital Stock or equity interest is traded or, if the Capital Stock or equity interest, as the case may be, is not listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System or by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated. In the absence of such quotation, the Company shall be entitled to determine the Post-Distribution Price on the basis of such quotations, which reflect the post-distribution value of the Capital Stock or equity interests, as it considers appropriate. Section 413. Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article Six of the Original Indenture, and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or intent of any such adjustments when made, or with respect to the method employed in 28 making the same. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article Six of the Original Indenture, nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value of any Common Stock, or of any other securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent makes any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article Six of the Original Indenture, nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of stock or share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article Six of the Original Indenture, and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article Four. ARTICLE FIVE REDEMPTION OF NOTES AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY Section 501. Right to Redeem. The Company, at its option, may redeem the Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the form of the Note attached hereto as Annex A and Article Eleven of the Original Indenture. Notes may be redeemed in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The Redemption Prices of the Notes are as set forth in Annex A hereto. If any Note selected for partial redemption is converted into Common Stock in part before the applicable Redemption Date, the converted portion of such Note shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be taken from the portion selected for redemption. Notes that have been converted during a selection of Notes to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection. Section 502. Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption. In connection with any redemption of Notes, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Notes called for redemption by an agreement with one or more investment banks or other purchasers to purchase such Notes by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Holders of such Notes, on or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, an amount that, together with any amounts deposited with the Trustee by the Company for the redemption of such Notes, is not less than the Redemption Price of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes (to the extent that such interest is payable to the Holders entitled to receive the Redemption Price). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Five or Article Eleven of the Original Indenture, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes (to the extent that such interest is payable to the Holders entitled to receive the Redemption Price) shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, any Notes called for redemption and not duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof prior to the applicable Redemption Date may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such Holders and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article Four hereof) surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date, subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. The Trustee shall hold and pay to the Holders 29 whose Notes are selected for redemption any such amount paid to it for purchase and conversion in the same manner as it would moneys deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Notes. Without the Trustee's prior written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Notes shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee as set forth in the Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with any such arrangement for the purchase and conversion of any Notes between the Company and such purchasers, including the costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in the defense of any claim or liability arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations under the Indenture. ARTICLE SIX PURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL Section 601. Repurchase of Notes at Option of the Holder upon Change of Control. (a) If there shall have occurred a Change of Control, all or any portion of the Notes of any Holder equal to $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000 in principal amount shall be repurchased by the Company, at the option of such Holder, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date (the "Change of Control Repurchase Price"), on the date (the "Change of Control Repurchase Date") that is 45 days after the date the Company gives the notice required under Section 601(c) (or if such 45th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day); provided, however, that installments of interest on Notes whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Change of Control Repurchase Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record Dates therefor according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307 of the Original Indenture. Subject to the fulfillment by the Company of the conditions set forth in Section 601(b) hereof, the Company may elect to pay the Change of Control Repurchase Price (including accrued and unpaid interest, if any) in Common Stock by delivering the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the Change of Control Repurchase Price (including accrued and unpaid interest, if any) divided by (ii) 95% of the average of the Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding and including the third Trading Day prior to the Change of Control Repurchase Date. Whenever in this First Supplemental Indenture (including Annex A hereto), the Original Indenture or the Notes there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of or (to the extent that the Change of Control Purchase Price shall include accrued interest) interest on any Note as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Change of Control Repurchase Price payable in respect to such Note to the extent that such Change of Control Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time (and regardless of whether the Change of Control Repurchase Price is payable in cash or shares of Common Stock) and, if the 30 Company shall have elected pay the Change of Control Repurchase Price in shares of Common Stock, any references to cash, funds or monies which have been or are to be deposited or paid to pay the Change of Control Repurchase Price shall be deemed to include, mutatis mutandis, a reference to the shares of Common Stock plus cash in lieu of fractional shares delivered or to be delivered to pay such Change of Control Repurchase Price, and express mention of the Change of Control Repurchase Price or the payment thereof in shares of Common Stock in any provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Original Indenture or the Notes shall not be construed as excluding the Change of Control Repurchase Price or any shares of Common Stock delivered or to be delivered to pay the Change of Control Repurchase Price in those provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Original Indenture or the Notes when such express mention is not made; provided, however, that for purposes of Article Seven of this First Supplemental Indenture such references shall be deemed to include reference to the Change of Control Repurchase Price only to the extent that the Change of Control Purchase Price is payable in cash. (b) The following are conditions to the Company's election to pay for the Change of Control Repurchase Price in Common Stock: (i) The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon repurchase of Notes hereunder: (A) shall not require registration under the Securities Act or any other federal securities law before such shares may be freely transferred by the recipients of such shares without restriction under the Securities Act or any other federal securities law or, if such registration is required, such registration shall be completed and shall become effective prior to the Change of Control Repurchase Date, no stop orders or similar orders shall be in effect with respect to such registration and such shares shall be freely transferable by the recipients of such shares (other than any such recipients which are "affiliates" (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company) without restriction under the Securities Act or any other federal securities laws or the need for delivery of a prospectus under the Securities Act or any other federal securities laws; and (B) shall not require registration with, qualification under, or approval of, any governmental authority under any state securities law or any other state or federal law before shares may be validly issued or delivered upon repurchase or if such registration is required or such qualification or approval must be obtained, such registration shall be completed or such qualification or approval shall be obtained prior to the Change of Control Repurchase Date and no stop order or other similar order shall be in effect with respect to any such registration, qualification or approval. (ii) The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon repurchase of Notes shall have been listed or approved for listing on the principal national securities exchange or shall have been approved for quotation on the principal national securities quotation system upon which the other outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock shall at the time be listed or quoted, as the case may be, in either case prior to the Change of Control Repurchase Date; and 31 (iii) All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon repurchase of Notes will be issued out of the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock and will, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free of any preemptive or similar rights. If any of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 601(b) are not satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof, the Change of Control Repurchase Price shall be paid by the Company only in cash. The Company may not change the form of consideration to be paid for the Notes on any Change of Control Repurchase Date once it has given the notice pursuant to Section 601(c) except as described in the first sentence of this paragraph. (c) Prior to or on the 30th day after the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company or, at the written request of the Company given to the Trustee on or prior to the 15th day after such occurrence and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall give to all Holders of Notes, in the manner provided in Section 106 of the Original Indenture, notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control and of the repurchase right set forth herein arising as a result thereof. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee. The notice shall include a form of Change of Control Repurchase Notice to be completed by the Holder of Notes and shall state: (1) briefly, the events causing a Change of Control and the date of such Change of Control; (2) the date by which the Change of Control Repurchase Notice pursuant to this Section 601(d) must be given; (3) the Change of Control Repurchase Date; (4) the Change of Control Repurchase Price and whether the Change of Control Repurchase Price will be payable in cash or Common Stock; (5) the name and address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (and in any additional locations) of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent where Notes may be surrendered for repurchase or conversion; (6) the Conversion Price and any adjustments thereto; (7) that Notes as to which a Change of Control Repurchase Notice has been given may be converted pursuant to Article Four hereof only if the Change of Control Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture prior to the close of business on the Change of Control Repurchase Date; (8) that Notes must be surrendered to the Trustee to collect the Change of Control Repurchase Price; (9) that the Change of Control Repurchase Price for any Note as to which a Change of Control Repurchase Notice has been duly given and not withdrawn will be 32 paid promptly following the later of the Change of Control Repurchase Date and the time of surrender of such Note as described in (8) above; (10) briefly, the procedures the Holder must follow to exercise its rights under this Section 601; (11) briefly, the conversion rights of the Notes; (12) the procedures for withdrawing a Change of Control Repurchase Notice and the deadline for such withdrawals; (13) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Change of Control Repurchase Price, interest on Notes submitted for repurchase will cease to accrue on and after the Change of Control Repurchase Date; and (14) the CUSIP number of the Notes. (d) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in Section 601(a) hereof upon delivery of a written notice of purchase (a "Change of Control Repurchase Notice"), substantially in the form attached to the form of Note appearing as Annex A hereto, to the Trustee at any time prior to the close of business on the Change of Control Repurchase Date, stating: (1) the certificate number of the Note which the Holder will deliver to be purchased; (2) if less than the entire principal amount of the Note is to be repurchased, the portion of the principal amount of the Note which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and (3) that such Note shall be purchased pursuant to Article Six of this First Supplemental Indenture. The delivery of such Note to the Trustee prior to, on or after the Change of Control Repurchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (or at any additional office of the Trustee which may be designated for such purpose) shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Change of Control Repurchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Change of Control Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 601 only if the Note so delivered to the Trustee shall conform in all respects to the description thereof set forth in the related Change of Control Repurchase Notice. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article Six or the Notes to the contrary, the right to require the Company to repurchase any Global Note (or portion thereof) upon a Change of Control, including the giving of the Change of Control Repurchase Notice and the surrender of such Global Note (or portions thereof) for repurchase, shall be exercised in accordance with the Depository's customary procedures as in effect from time to time. 33 The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 601, a portion of a Note if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Note also apply to the purchase of such portion of a Note. Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 601 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Change of Control Repurchase Date and the time of delivery of the Note to the Trustee in accordance with this Section 601. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Trustee the Change of Control Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 601(d) shall have the right to withdraw such Change of Control Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Change of Control Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee in accordance with Section 602. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Change of Control Repurchase Notice or written withdrawal thereof. Section 602. Effect of Change of Control Repurchase Notice. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Change of Control Repurchase Notice specified in Section 601(d), the Holder of the Note in respect of which such Change of Control Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such Change of Control Repurchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Change of Control Repurchase Price with respect to such Note. Such Change of Control Repurchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipts of funds and/or shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, by the Trustee, promptly following the later of (x) the Change of Control Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided, that the conditions in Section 601(d) have been satisfied), and (y) the time of delivery of such Note to the Trustee by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 601(d). In the event that the Company shall elect to pay the Change of Control Repurchase Price in shares of Common Stock, then a Holder entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon such repurchase shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Change of Control Repurchase Date. Notes (or portions of Notes) in respect of which a Change of Control Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article Four hereof after the delivery of such Change of Control Repurchase Notice unless such Change of Control Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs, except for, in the case of any Note which such Change of Control Repurchase Notice indicates is to be surrendered for repurchase in part, the portion thereof that is not to be surrendered for repurchase. A Change of Control Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the offices of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (or at any additional office of the Trustee which may be designated for such purpose) at any time prior to the close of business on the Change of Control Repurchase Date specifying: 34 (1) the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, (2) the principal amount of the Note with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and (3) the principal amount, if any, of such Note which remains subject to the original Change of Control Repurchase Notice and which has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article Six or the Notes to the contrary, a Change of Control Repurchase Notice given in respect of any Global Note (or portions thereof) may be withdrawn in accordance with the Depository's customary procedures as in effect from time to time. Section 603. Deposit of Change of Control Repurchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Change of Control Repurchase Date the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) or Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares), if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay the aggregate Change of Control Repurchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof as to which a Change of Control Repurchase Notice has been duly delivered and not withdrawn as provided in Section 601. Section 604. Notes Purchased in Part. Any Note which is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the Trustee (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denominations as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered which is not purchased. Section 605. Covenant to Comply with Securities Laws upon Purchase of Notes. In connection with any offer to purchase or repurchase of Notes under Section 601 hereof, the Company shall (i) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1, to the extent applicable, and any other applicable tender offer rules under the Exchange Act which may then be applicable, (ii) file the related schedule TO or other schedule or form if so required under the Exchange Act, and (iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article Six to be exercised at the times and in the manner specified in this Article Six. Section 606. Repayment to the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003 of the Original Indenture, to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash and/or shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 603 exceeds the aggregate Change of Control Repurchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof as to which Change of Control Repurchase Notices have been received and not 35 withdrawn, then promptly after the Business Day following the Change of Control Repurchase Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Request therefor (which shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations necessary to determine such excess), return any such excess to the Company. The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003 of the Original Indenture shall otherwise apply to any money and shares of Common Stock deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent to pay the Change of Control Repurchase Price. Section 607. Fractions of Shares. If the Company shall be entitled to pay the Change of Control Repurchase Price in shares of Common Stock, no fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for repurchase by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issued upon repurchase shall be computed upon the basis of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issued upon repurchase of any Note or Notes (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect to such fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share, with 5/1,000ths of a share being rounded upwards) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price per share of Common Stock as of the Trading Date immediately preceding the applicable Change of Control Repurchase Date (rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half of a cent rounded upwards). ARTICLE SEVEN SUBORDINATION Section 701. Agreement to Subordinate. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (including, without limitation, the Change of Control Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price) and any other amounts payable by the Company under the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article Seven, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Senior Indebtedness (whether outstanding on the date of this First Supplemental Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or Guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness. Section 702. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relating to the Company or to its assets, or any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshaling of assets or liabilities of the Company, the holders of Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to receive payment in full, in cash or cash equivalents, of all Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for such payment in full, in cash or cash equivalents, before the Holders of Notes will be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character (other than any payment or distribution in the form of equity securities or subordinated securities of the Company or any successor obligor that, in the case of any such subordinated securities, are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness that may at the time be outstanding to at least the same extent as the Notes are so subordinated (such equity securities or subordinated securities hereinafter being 36 "Permitted Junior Securities")) on account of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; and, in any such case, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than a payment or distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities), by set-off or otherwise, to which the Holders of Notes or the Trustee would be entitled but for the provisions of this Article Seven shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Indebtedness to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. The consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the sale, assignment, transfer or other conveyance (other than through a lease) of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article Eight of the Original Indenture, as amended by this First Supplemental Indenture, shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets or liabilities of the Company for the purposes of this Section 702 if the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires all or substantially all such properties and assets, as the case may be, shall as part of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer or other conveyance comply with the conditions set forth in Article Eight of the Original Indenture, as amended by this First Supplemental Indenture. Section 703. Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness. (a) No payment or distribution of any assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities), may be made by or on behalf of the Company on account of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Notes upon the occurrence of any default in payment (whether at stated maturity, upon scheduled installment, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Designated Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace period (a "Payment Default") until such Payment Default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist or such Designated Senior Indebtedness shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash or cash equivalents. (b) No payment or distribution of any assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities), may be made by or on behalf of the Company on account of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Notes during the period specified below (a "Payment Blockage Period") upon (i) the occurrence of any default or event of default (other than a Payment Default) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness may be accelerated (a "Non-Payment Default") and (ii) receipt by the Company of written notice thereof from the trustee or other representative of holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness. 37 The Payment Blockage Period will commence upon the date of receipt by the Company of such written notice from the trustee or such other representative of the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness in respect of which the Non-Payment Default exists and shall end on the earliest of: (i) 179 days thereafter (unless the Designated Senior Indebtedness as to which the notice was given shall have been accelerated and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded, waived or annulled); (ii) the date on which such Non-Payment Default is cured, waived or ceases to exist; (iii) the date on which such Designated Senior Indebtedness is discharged in accordance with its terms or paid in full in cash or cash equivalents; or (iv) the date on which such Payment Blockage Period shall have been terminated by written notice to the Trustee or the Company from the trustee or such other representative initiating such Payment Blockage Period, after which the Company will resume making any and all required payments in respect of the Notes, including any missed payments. In any event, not more than one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced during any period of 365 consecutive days. No Non-Payment Default that existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period will be, or can be made, the basis for the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period, unless such Non-Payment Default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 60 consecutive days subsequent to the commencement of such initial Payment Blockage Period. Section 704. Acceleration of Notes. If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness or the trustee or other representative of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration. Section 705. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 702 and 703, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities), shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder of Notes that is prohibited by such provisions, then and in such event such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over and delivered by the Trustee or such Holder of Notes to, the trustee or any other representative of holders of Senior Indebtedness for application to Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or cash equivalents, after giving effect to any concurrent distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness. With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article Seven, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this First Supplemental Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holder of Notes 38 or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Seven, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee. Section 706. Notice by the Company. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and each Paying Agent of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article Seven, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article Seven. Section 707. Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders of Notes shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness of the Company that ranks on a parity in right of payment with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article Seven to holders of Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, as between the Company and Holders of Notes, a payment by the Company of or on the Notes. Section 708. Relative Rights. This Article Seven defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Indenture shall (i) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (including, without limitation, the Change of Control Repurchase Price and Redemption Price) and any and all other amounts due on or in respect of the Notes in accordance with their terms, or to convert the Notes as provided in Article Four hereof in accordance with their terms; (ii) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of Holders other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its rights or remedies upon an Event of Default or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article Seven. Failure by the Company to make any payment of principal, premium, if any or interest on or any other payment due in respect of the Notes (including, without limitation, any Change of Control Repurchase Price or Redemption Price) when due or within any applicable grace period, and any failure by the Company to deliver any shares of Common Stock or other securities or property (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares) which the Company is required to deliver upon conversion of any Notes when required to be so delivered or within any applicable grace period, in each case whether or not occurring during a Payment Blockage Period or other period during which the Company is prohibited from making payments on the Notes by operation of the provisions of this Article Seven, will result in an Event of Default with respect to the Notes and, thereafter, Holders of the Notes will have the right, on the terms and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture, to accelerate the maturity of the Notes. Section 709. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Company. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or any other amounts payable on the Notes shall be impaired by any act 39 or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this First Supplemental Indenture. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 709, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article Seven or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or secured; (b) sell, exchange, release, foreclose against or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (d) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company, any Subsidiary thereof or any other Person. Section 710. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of any Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their trustee or representative. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Seven, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of any such trustee or representative of holders of Senior Indebtedness or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amounts thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Seven. Section 711. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Seven or any other provision of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office at least three Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article Seven. Only the Company or a trustee or representative of holders of Senior Indebtedness may give the notice. Nothing in this Article Seven shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 606 of the Original Indenture. The Trustee and any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or transfer agent in respect of the Notes, in its individual or any other capacity, may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or transfer agent, as the case may be. 40 ARTICLE EIGHT MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS Section 801.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the "Notes") issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of October 16, 2001 (the "Original Indenture"), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 16, 2001 (the "First Supplemental Indenture"; the Original Indenture, together with the First Supplemental Indenture and any other indentures supplemental thereto, are herein called, collectively, the "Indenture"), each between the Company and Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited (subject to exceptions provided in the Indenture) in aggregate principal amount to $175,000,000, plus up to an additional $26,250,000 aggregate principal amount issuable upon exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters in the Purchase Agreement. The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and any other amounts payable by the Company under, this Note is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, expressly subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture) of the Company. This Note is issued subject to such provisions of the Indenture, and each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions and authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf, as between the Holders of the Notes and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate such subordination as provided in the Indenture.

The Notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes may be declared due and payable or, in the case of certain Events of Default, shall automatically become due and payable, in each case in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder's Notes, or any portion of those Notes in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the Change of Control Repurchase Date established as provided in the Indenture, at a Change of Control Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Change of Control Repurchase Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Notes whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to a Change of Control Repurchase Date shall be payable to the Holders of those Notes, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record Dates therefor according to their terms and the provisions of the Indenture. The Company may, on the terms and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture, elect to pay the Change of Control Repurchase Price in shares of Common Stock (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture). A notice of a Change of Control will be given by the Company to the Holders as provided in the Indenture. To exercise the repurchase right, a Holder must deliver a written notice substantially in the form of the "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on Change of Control" attached to this Note. Holders have the right to withdraw any Change of Control Repurchase Notice by delivering a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture prior to the close of business on the applicable Change of Control Repurchase Date. If the Company elects to pay the Change of Control Repurchase Price in shares of Common Stock, no fractional shares will be issued upon repurchase of Notes and, instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise have been issued, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture. The Notes are convertible at the option of the Holders thereof, at any time prior to close of business on the Final Maturity Date, into shares of Common Stock. Holders may convert Notes, in whole or in part, in the principal amount of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. If a Note (or portion thereof) is called for redemption, the Holder of such Note (or such portion thereof) may convert such Note (or such portion thereof) at any time before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. A Note in respect of which the Holder thereof has delivered a Change of Control Repurchase Notice exercising the right of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Note may be converted only if such notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture prior to the close of business on the applicable Change of Control Repurchase Date. The initial Conversion Price shall be $32.95 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain events described in the Indenture. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note (or portion thereof) shall be equal to the amount obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Note (or portion thereof) being converted by the Conversion Price as in effect at the time of conversion and rounding the quotient as provided in the Indenture. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of Notes and, instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise have been issued, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture. To convert a Note, a Holder must (i) complete and manually sign a conversion notice substantially in the form attached to this Note and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (ii) surrender such Note to the Conversion Agent, (iii) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent, the Company or the Trustee and (iv) pay any transfer or similar tax if required pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture. A-4 In connection with any redemption of Notes, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Notes called for redemption by agreement with one or more investment banks or other purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, any Notes called for redemption and not duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof prior to the applicable Redemption Date may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such Holders and surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all on the terms and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture and subject to the payment by such purchasers of the Redemption Price for such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
