If since the beginning of such period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, then the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in accordance with Regulation S-X of the SEC.

For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the applicable period.

(8) solely for the purpose of determining the amount available for Restricted Payments under clause (1) of the definition of “Cumulative Credit,” the Net Income for such period of any Restricted Subsidiary shall be excluded to the extent that the declaration or payment of dividends or similar distributions by such Restricted Subsidiary of its Net Income is not at the date of determination permitted without any prior governmental approval (which has not been obtained) or, directly or indirectly, by the operation of the terms of its charter or any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or governmental regulation applicable to that Restricted Subsidiary or its stockholders, unless such restrictions with respect to the payment of dividends or similar distributions have been legally waived; provided that (without duplication) the Consolidated Net Income of such Person shall be increased by the amount of dividends or other distributions or other payments actually paid in cash (or converted into cash) by any such Restricted Subsidiary to such Person, to the extent not already included therein;

The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A .

To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request.

SECTION 2.08 Replacement Notes . If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the holder (a) satisfies the Issuer and the Trustee within a reasonable time after such holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the

-39-

Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer and the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform

Commercial Code (a “ protected purchaser ”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Issuer and the Trustee.

The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the holder for their expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

SECTION 2.09 Outstanding Notes . Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 13.06, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08.

If a Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.10 [Reserved] .

SECTION 2.11 Cancellation . The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent and Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, conversion, repurchase, redemption or payment.

The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.12 Defaulted Interest . If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes ( plus 1% per year and interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the

Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each affected holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.13 CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, Etc . The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall advise the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.

SECTION 2.14 Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes . The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09 and Section 13.06 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

SECTION 2.15 Mandatory Disposition Pursuant to Gaming Laws . Each Person that holds or acquires beneficial ownership of any of the Notes shall be deemed to have agreed, by accepting such Notes, that if any Gaming Authority requires such Person to be approved, licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable Gaming Laws, such holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, shall apply for approval or a license, qualification or finding of suitability within the required time period.

If a Person fails to apply for approval or a license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so (or such lesser period as required by the Gaming Authority) or is notified by a Gaming Authority that it shall not be approved, licensed, qualified or found suitable (a “ Disqualified Holder ”), the Issuer shall have the right, at its election, (1) to require such Person to dispose of its Notes or beneficial interest therein within 30 days of receipt of notice of such election or such earlier date as may be required by such Gaming Authority or (2) by notice given at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, before the redemption date, to redeem such Notes at a redemption price that, unless otherwise directed by such Gaming Authority, shall be at a redemption price that is equal to (a) the price required by applicable law or by order of any Gaming Authority, if applicable, or (b) the lesser of (1) the price that such person paid for the Notes (which will be deemed to be 100% of the principal amount of the Notes with respect to the issuance of the Original Notes on the Issue Date) and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (the “ Mandatory Redemption Price ”), in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the earlier of (x) the redemption date or (y) the date of the denial of an approval or a license or qualification and/or a finding of unsuitability by the Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption.

Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a holder of Notes shall not be approved, licensed, qualified or found suitable, such Person shall not have any further rights with respect to the Notes to:

(a) exercise, directly or indirectly, any right conferred by the Notes; or

(b) receive any interest or any other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes, or any remuneration in any form from the Issuer for services rendered or otherwise, except the Mandatory Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the earlier of (x) the redemption date or (y) the date of the denial of an approval or a license or qualification and/or a finding of unsuitability by the Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption.

-41-

The Issuer shall notify the Trustee and applicable Gaming Authority in writing of any such redemption as soon as practicable.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(d) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be, in respect of indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Persons.

(x) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; provided , that consideration reflecting a discount of up to 25% of the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of, will satisfy this clause (x) if the Asset Sale (A) relates to the disposition of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement or other obligation with a Person (other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) from whom such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired or from whom such Restricted Subsidiary acquired its business and assets (having been newly formed in connection with such acquisition), (B) the terms of any such Asset Sale were set forth in the original agreement or other obligation and (C) the Asset Sale is required by an agreement with that Person at the time of such acquisition, and

(y) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents, provided that the amount of:

(i) any liabilities of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are owed to Affiliates or that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes), as shown on the Issuer’s or the Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or that are otherwise cancelled or terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee, and

(ii) any notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are contemporaneously, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received),

shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this Section 4.06(a).

(b) Within 12 months after the Issuer’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at the Issuer’s option:

(i) to repay Obligations under a Credit Agreement or Secured Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto in an amount equal to the principal amount so repaid; or

(ii) to make an Investment in any one or more businesses ( provided that if such Investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary), fixed assets or capital expenditures, in each case (A) used or useful in a Similar Business or (B) that replace the properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale.

-53-

In the case of Section 4.06(b)(ii), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment; provided that the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to have applied Net Proceeds in accordance with clause (b)(ii) within such 12-month period if, within such 12-month period, it has entered into a binding commitment or agreement to invest such Net Proceeds and applies such Net Proceeds within 18 months after the receipt of such Net Proceeds; provided further , that in the event that such binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds (as defined below) unless the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary applies the Net Proceeds to a permitted application pursuant to the first paragraph of this clause (b) within 3 months of such cancellation or termination of the binding commitment. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

Any Net Proceeds in cash from Asset Sales that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4.06(b) will be deemed to constitute “ Excess Proceeds .” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all holders of Notes (an “ Asset Sale Offer ”), and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, to holders of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, if applicable), that is at least $100 and an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event such Pari Passu Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof, if applicable), plus accrued and unpaid interest (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, if applicable) to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.06. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million by mailing, or delivering electronically if held by DTC, the notice required pursuant to the terms of Section 4.06(g), with a copy to the Trustee.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose that is not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described in Section 4.06(f). Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(c) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

(d) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into or suffer to exist any agreement (other than any agreement governing a Credit Agreement for Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), any agreement governing Existing Indebtedness and any Refinancing Indebtedness solely with respect to the foregoing) that would place any restriction of any kind (other than pursuant to law or regulation) on the ability of the Issuer to make an Asset Sale Offer.

-54-

(e) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Sale Offer is delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sales pursuant to which such Asset Sale Offer is being made and (iii) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(b). On or before the purchase date, the Issuer shall irrevocably deposit by 10:00 a.m. New York City time with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Issuer. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “ Asset Sale Offer Period ”), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Issuer. The Trustee (or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering holder in the amount of the purchase price.

(f) Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuer at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered by the holder for purchase and a statement that such holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. If at the end of the Asset Sale Offer Period more Notes (and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Issuer is required to purchase, selection of such Notes for purchase shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed, or if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with the requirements of DTC, if applicable); provided that no Notes of $100 or less shall be purchased in part.

-56-

(ix) the entering into of, or the performance by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of its obligations under the terms of any transaction, agreement or arrangement described in the Plan and, in each case, any amendment thereto; provided, however, that the entering into, or the performance by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of its obligations under, any amendment to any such existing transaction, agreement or arrangement or under any similar transaction, agreement or arrangement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (ix) to the extent that the terms of any such existing transaction, agreement or arrangement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new transaction, agreement or arrangement are not any less favorable to the holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original transaction, agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date;

(x) the execution of the Transactions, and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Transactions or contemplated by the Transactions;

Prior to making an Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer have determined that such Affiliate Transaction is permitted, together with a copy of any required resolutions of the Board of Directors.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.07 to the contrary, in no event shall the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries enter into, or make any payments under, any management agreement or other similar agreement with any Restricted Holder that provides for the payment of management, advisory or other similar fees to any such Restricted Holder.

If he or she does, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Issuer also shall comply with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA. Except with respect to receipt of payments of principal and interest on the Notes and any Default or Event of Default information contained in the Officer’s Certificate delivered to it pursuant to this Section 4.09, the Trustee shall have no duty to review, ascertain or confirm the Issuer’s compliance with or the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made in this Indenture.

(b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee promptly and in any event within ten days after any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 4.10 Further Instruments and Acts . The Issuer shall, and shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

SECTION 4.11 [Reserved] .

SECTION 4.12 Liens .

(a) (A) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly create, Incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien that secures any Indebtedness on any asset or property of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of obligations subordinated in right of payment to the Notes) the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien, except Permitted Liens, and (B) notwithstanding the above or any other provision of this Indenture (including with respect to any Permitted Lien), in no event shall the Issuer, directly or indirectly create, Incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on the Capital Stock or Equity Interests of (i) any Subsidiary that is a First-Tier Subsidiary of the Issuer on the Issue Date or (ii) any newly-created First-Tier Subsidiary of

-58-

the Issuer that, subsequent to the Issue Date, acquires or otherwise owns or controls any Equity Interests of such First-Tier Subsidiaries identified in clause (B)(i) of this paragraph (a), provided that, any Permitted Lien Incurred pursuant to any Master Lease in accordance with clause (7) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” as well as any refinancing thereof permitted under clause (20) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.12(a)(B).

(b) Any Lien that is granted to secure the Notes under Section 4.12(a) shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (i) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (ii) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a), the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant and will be entitled to only include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien (or any portion thereof) in one of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) and in such event, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) will be treated as being Incurred or existing pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to Section 4.12(a).

(d) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “ Increased Amount ” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of any of the Issuer, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in clause (3) of the definition of “Indebtedness.”

SECTION 4.13 Business Activities . The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Similar Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

SECTION 4.14 Maintenance of Office or Agency .

(a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 13.02.

-59-

(b) The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided , however , that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c) The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or its agent as such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.04.

SECTION 4.15 Payments for Consents . The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

SECTION 4.16 Covenant Suspension . If on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, then, beginning on that day (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “ Covenant Suspension Event ”), and subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Sections 4.03 and 4.04 (collectively the “ Suspended Covenants ”).

In the event that the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events.

The Issuer shall promptly upon its occurrence (1) deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying the Trustee of the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date, and the date thereof and (2) notify or disclose to Note holders the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to monitor the occurrence or dates of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date and may rely conclusively on such Officer’s Certificate.

On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would be permitted to be Incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would not be so permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iii). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 will be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior, but not during, the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a). As described above, however, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Issuer or their Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period.

-60-

For purposes of Section 4.06, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount will be reset to zero.

SECTION 4.17 Taxes . The Issuer will pay, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the holders of the Notes.

SECTION 4.18 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries .

(a) The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if:

(i) the Issuer could make the Restricted Payment which is deemed to occur upon such designation under Section 4.04 equal to the Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary at the time of such designation;

(ii) such Restricted Subsidiary meets the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;

(iii) the designation would not constitute or cause (with or without the passage of time) a Default or Event of Default or no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation; and

(iv) the Issuer delivers to the trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted under Section 4.04.

(b) If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Issuer.

(c) If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary designated as such would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any other Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” then such Subsidiary will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under Section 4.03, the Issuer will be in default of such covenant.

-61-

(d) The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer if:

(i) the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries could Incur the Indebtedness which is deemed to be Incurred upon such designation under the covenant described under Section 4.03, equal to the total Indebtedness of such Subsidiary calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter reference period following such designation;

(ii) the designation would not constitute or cause a Default or Event of Default; and

(iii) the Issuer delivers to the trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions, including the incurrence of Indebtedness under the covenant described above under Section 4.03.

(i) the Issuer is the surviving person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, winding up or conversion (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company or similar entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (the Issuer or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “ Successor Issuer ”); provided that in the case where the surviving Person is not a corporation, a corporation that is a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary shall become a co-obligor of the Notes;

(ii) the Successor Issuer (if other than the Issuer) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

(iv) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), either

For the purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer to another Person, which properties and assets, if held by the Issuer instead of such Restricted Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer to another Person.

(b) The Successor Issuer (if other than the prior Issuer) will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes, and in such event the Issuer will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 5.01(a), (a) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to a Restricted Subsidiary, and (b) the Issuer may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United States or may convert into a limited liability company, so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.

(c) This Article V will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Article VI.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.01 Events of Default . An “ Event of Default ” occurs with respect to Notes if:

(b) there is a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, of any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise;

-63-

(c) the failure by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply (for 60 days following notice with respect to such failure to comply) with its other agreements and obligations contained in the Notes or this Indenture (other than a default referred to in clause (a) or (b) above); provided that in the case of a failure to comply with Section 4.02, such period of continuation of such default or breach shall be 90 days following notice with respect to such failure to comply;

(d) the failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent;

(e) either the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(i) commences a voluntary case;

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;

(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency;

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

(i) is for relief against either the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

(ii) appoints a Custodian of either the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of their property; or

(iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of either the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary;

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days;

(g) failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days;

(h) [Reserved];

-64-

(i) the Issuer fails to satisfy its conversion obligations upon exercise of holder’s conversion rights pursuant hereto (including the failure to pay the Make-Whole Consideration, if any, in connection with such conversion) or upon a Mandatory Conversion and such failure continues for a period of five Business Days; or

(j) the Issuer fails to timely provide a Fundamental Change Notice as required by the provisions of this Indenture, or fails to timely provide any notice pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 10.07(e), and such failure continues for a period of five Business Days.

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

The term “ Bankruptcy Law ” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “ Custodian ” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

However, a default under clause (c) above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes notify the Issuer of the default and the Issuer does not cure such default within the time specified in clause (c) hereof after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “ Notice of Default .” The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which is, or with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

If a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (the “ Initial Default ”) occurs, then, at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another Default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action. In addition, any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.02 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by Section 4.02 or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture.

SECTION 6.02 Acceleration . If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

-65-

SECTION 6.03 Other Remedies . If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults . Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Issuer or the Trustee of consents by the holders of the requisite principal amount of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Issuer and the Trustee.

(b) The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

SECTION 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes . If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer may require the holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments . The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably

-77-

satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03) and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture have been complied with.

SECTION 9.07 Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount . All Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote) as one class and no Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. Determinations as to whether holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article IX and Section 2.14.

Article X.

CONVERSION

SECTION 10.01 Conversion Rights . Subject to, and upon compliance with, the provisions of this Article X, each holder of a Note shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $100 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) of such Note at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at the Conversion Rate.

SECTION 10.02 Conversion Procedures .

(a) General . To exercise the conversion right with respect to a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the owner of such beneficial interest must (i) comply with the Applicable Procedures for converting a beneficial interest on a Global Note, (ii) pay the funds, if any, required by Section 10.02(f) and (iii) pay any taxes or duties if required pursuant to Section 10.02(g).

To exercise the conversion right with respect to any Definitive Note, the holder of such Definitive Note must (i) complete and manually sign a conversion notice in the form set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (the “ Conversion Notice ”) or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice; (ii) deliver such signed and completed Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Definitive Note to the Conversion Agent; (iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; (iv) if required, pay all transfer or similar governmental charges or duties as set forth in Section 10.02(g); and (v) if required, make any payment required under Section 10.02(f).

If a Note has been submitted for repurchase pursuant to a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice such Note may not be converted except to the extent such Note has been withdrawn by the holder and is no longer submitted for repurchase pursuant to a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 11.04 hereof prior to the relevant Fundamental Change Expiration Time.

For any Note, the date on which the holder of such Note satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above with respect to such Note shall be the “ Conversion Date ” with respect to such Note.

-78-

(b) Holder of Record . Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) surrendered for conversion at the Close of Business on the applicable Conversion Date; provided , however , the Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion, if any, shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date. For the avoidance of doubt, until a holder is deemed to become the holder of record of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such holder’s Notes as contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence, such holder shall not have any rights as a holder of the Common Stock with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Notes. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for a Note, the converting holder shall no longer be the holder of such Note.

(c) Endorsement . Any Notes surrendered for conversion shall, unless shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Notes, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer duly executed by, the holder or its duly authorized attorney.

(d) Definitive Notes . If any Definitive Notes in a denomination greater than $100 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the holder of the Definitive Notes so surrendered, without charge, new Definitive Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Definitive Notes.

(e) Global Notes . Upon the conversion of a beneficial interest in Global Notes, the Conversion Agent shall make a notation in its records as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(f) Interest Due Upon Conversion . If a holder converts a Note after the Close of Business on a Record Date but prior to the Open of Business on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Record Date, such holder must accompany such Note with an amount of cash equal to the amount of interest that will be payable on such Note on the corresponding Interest Payment Date; provided , however , that a holder need not make such payment (1) if the Conversion Date follows the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Issuer has specified a redemption date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date and the relevant Conversion Date occurs after such Record Date and on or prior to such Interest Payment Date; (3) if the Issuer has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date and the relevant Conversion Date occurs after such Record Date and on or prior to such Interest Payment Date; or (4) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Notes.

(g) Taxes Due upon Conversion . If a holder converts a Note, the Issuer will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of the Common Stock upon the conversion, unless the tax is due because the holder requests that any shares be issued in a name other than the holder’s name, in which case the holder will pay that tax. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the Common Stock to be issued in a name other than such holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duty which will be due because such shares are to be issued in a name other than such holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.

-79-

SECTION 10.03 Settlement Upon Conversion .

(a) Settlement . Subject to this Section 10.03 and Sections 10.05 and 10.07 hereof, upon conversion of any Note, the Issuer shall deliver to holders, in full satisfaction of its conversion obligation under Section 10.01 hereof, in respect of each $1.00 principal amount of Notes being converted, a Settlement Amount.

(i) [Reserved].

(ii) Settlement Amount . The shares of Common Stock in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “ Settlement Amount ”) shall be computed as follows: the Issuer shall deliver to the converting holder, in respect of each $1.00 principal amount of its Notes being converted, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate, together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 10.03(b).

(iii) Delivery Obligation . The Issuer shall deliver the Settlement Amount due in respect of its conversion obligation under Section 10.03 hereof, on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date.

(iv) Regulatory Limitation . Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Notes to the contrary, if (i) in connection with the conversion of all or any portion of a Holder’s Notes (the number of shares of common stock issued in connection therewith, the “ Conversion Shares ”), such Holder owns or controls five percent (5%) or more of any of the Issuer’s equity securities, when added to equity securities beneficially owned by such Holder immediately prior to such conversion, (ii) following such conversion, such Holder is determined or otherwise deemed to be an Unsuitable Person (as defined in the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended) and (iii) the Issuer exercises any redemption right with respect to equity securities held by such Holder in connection with such Holder being an Unsuitable Person, then the Issuer shall (a) give the Holder ten Business Days notice of the Issuer’s planned redemption and (b) with respect to any Conversion Shares to be redeemed, pay to Holder a redemption price equal to the greater of (x) the Redemption Price (as defined in the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended) and (y) an amount in cash equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 20 consecutive VWAP Trading Days during the Observation Period for the applicable Conversion Date on which the Holder received such equity securities. This Section 10.03(a)(iv) shall survive the conversion of any and all Notes.

(b) Fractional Shares . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock as part of the Settlement Amount due with respect to any converted Note. Instead, if any Settlement Amount includes a fraction of a share of the Common Stock, the Issuer will, in lieu of delivering such fraction of a share of Common Stock, pay an amount of cash equal to the product of such fraction of a share and the Daily VWAP on the relevant Conversion Date (or, if such Conversion Date is not a VWAP Trading Day, the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day), rounded to the nearest whole cent.

(c) Conversion of Multiple Notes by a Single Holder . If a holder surrenders more than one Note for conversion on a single Conversion Date the Issuer will calculate the number of shares of Common Stock due with respect to such Notes as if such holder had surrendered for conversion one Note having an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of the principal amounts of each of the Notes surrendered for conversion by such holder on the same Conversion Date.

-80-

(d) Settlement of Accrued Interest and Deemed Payment of Principal . If a holder converts a Note, the Issuer will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, and the Issuer’s delivery or payment of shares of Common Stock into which a Note is convertible will be deemed to satisfy and discharge in full the Issuer’s obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Note to, but excluding, the Conversion Date; provided , however , that subject to Section 10.02(f), if a holder converts a Note after the Close of Business on a Record Date and prior to the Open of Business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will still be obligated to pay the interest due on such Interest Payment Date to the holder of such Note on such Record Date. As a result, except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to a converted Note will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

(e) Notices . Whenever a Conversion Date occurs with respect to a Note, the Conversion Agent will, as promptly as possible, and in no event later than the Open of Business on the Business Day immediately following such Conversion Date, deliver to the Issuer and the Trustee, if it is not then the Conversion Agent, notice that a Conversion Date has occurred, which notice will state such Conversion Date, the principal amount of Notes converted on such Conversion Date and the names of the holders that converted Notes on such Conversion Date.

SECTION 10.04 Common Stock Issued Upon Conversion .

(a) The Issuer shall at all times reserve out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit the conversion, in accordance herewith, of all of the then-outstanding Notes.

(b) Any shares of Common Stock delivered upon the conversion of the Notes will be newly issued shares or treasury shares, duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of the holder or other Person to whom such shares of Common Stock will be delivered). In addition, the Issuer will comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. The Issuer will also cause any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note to be listed on whatever stock exchange(s) the Common Stock is listed on the date the converting Holder becomes a record holder of such Common Stock.

(c) If any shares of the Common Stock issued upon conversion will, upon delivery, be “restricted securities” (within the meaning of Rule 144 or any successor provision in effect at such time), such shares of Common Stock (i) will be issued in physical, certificated form; (ii) will not be held in book-entry form through the facilities of the Depository; and (iii) will bear any restrictive legends the Issuer or the Transfer Agent deem necessary to comply with applicable law.

SECTION 10.05 Adjustment of Conversion Rate . The Conversion Rate will be adjusted as described in this Section 10.05 from time to time, except that the Issuer shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if holders participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination) at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described below without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment thereof in respect of such transaction, multiplied by the principal amount of Notes held by such holder.

-81-

(a) Stock Dividends and Share Splits . If the Issuer issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all shares of Common Stock, or if the Issuer effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

Any adjustment made under this Section 10.05(a) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date for such share split or share combination, as the case may be. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or any share split or combination of the type described in this Section 10.05(a) is announced but the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not split or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or not to split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared or announced.

(b) Rights, Options and Warrants . If the Issuer distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days immediately following the record date of such distribution, to purchase or subscribe for shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Issuer’s announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where

-82-

Any increase made under this Section 10.05(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. The Issuer shall not issue any such rights, options, or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in treasury by the Issuer. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution had not occurred.

In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Issuer’s announcement of such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Issuer for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(c) Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property . If the Issuer distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other of its assets, securities or property, excluding (i) dividends or distributions covered by Sections 10.05(a) and 10.05(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash covered by Section 10.05(d), and (iii) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth in the latter portion of this Section 10.05(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, indebtedness or other assets, securities or property, the “ Distributed Property ”), to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where

-83-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as used in the formula above) is equal to or greater than the “SP ₀ ” (as used in the formula above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each holder of Notes shall receive, for each $1.00 principal amount of Notes it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as the holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such holder would have received as if such holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 10.05(c) above shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.05(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Issuer, where such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon consummation of the Spin-Off) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “ Spin-Off ”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

-84-

For purposes of the second adjustment formula set forth in this Section 10.05(c), (i) the Last Reported Sale Price of any Capital Stock or similar equity interest shall be calculated in a manner analogous to that used to calculate the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock in the definition of “Last Reported Sale Price” set forth in Section 1.01 hereof, (ii) whether a day is a Trading Day (and whether a day is a Scheduled Trading Day and whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred) for such Capital Stock or similar equity interest shall be determined in a manner analogous to that used to determine whether a day is a Trading Day (or whether a day is a Scheduled Trading Day and whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred) for the Common Stock, and (iii) whether a day is a Trading Day to be included in a Valuation Period will be determined based on whether a day is a Trading Day for both the Common Stock and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest.

Subject in all respects to Section 10.05(g), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Issuer to all holders of its Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Issuer’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“ Trigger Event ”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 10.05(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.05(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 10.05(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights, options or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.05(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 10.05(a), Section 10.05(b) and this Section 10.05(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.05(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:

(i) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 10.05(a) is applicable (the “ Clause A Distribution ”); or

-85-

(ii) an issuance of rights, options or warrants entitling holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock to which Section 10.05(b) is applicable (the “ Clause B Distribution ”),

then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.05(c) is applicable (the “ Clause C Distribution ”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 10.05(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 10.05(a) and Section 10.05(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Board of Directors (I) the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be” within the meaning of Section 10.05(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution” within the meaning of Section 10.05(b).

(d) Cash Dividends or Distributions . If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

Such increase shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Issuer’s right to readjust the Conversion Rate as described in the immediately preceding sentence).

-86-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP ₀ ” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each holder of Notes shall receive, for each $1.00 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount of cash such holder would have received as if such holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution.

(e) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers . If the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock (other than an odd-lot tender offer), if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “ Offer Expiration Date ”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where

The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.05(e) shall occur at the Close of Business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, but excluding, the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the ten Trading Days immediately following, but excluding, the date that any such tender or exchange offer expires, references in this Section 10.05(e) to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the date that such tender or exchange offer expires and the Conversion Date for such conversion. If the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but the Issuer or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately decreased to the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.

-87-

(f) Special Settlement Provisions . Notwithstanding this Section 10.05 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date, and a holder that has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related record date would be treated as the record holder of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 10.02 based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 10.05, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such converting holder. Instead, such holder shall be treated as if such holder were the record owner of the Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate, following conversion, as a holder of Common Stock, in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(g) Poison Pill . If a holder converts a Note, to the extent that the Issuer has a rights plan in effect, on the Conversion Date applicable to such Note the holder converting such Note will receive, in addition to any shares of Common Stock otherwise received in connection with such conversion on such Conversion Date, the rights under the rights plan, unless prior to such Conversion Date, the rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Issuer distributed to all holders of the Common Stock, Distributed Property as described in Section 10.04(c) hereof, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(h) Deferral of Adjustments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Notes, the Issuer will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent; provided , however , that any such minor adjustments that are not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and provided , further , that any such adjustment of less than one percent that has not been made shall be made upon the occurrence of (w) the Make-Whole Effective Date for any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, (x) prior to the Close of Business on the Conversion Date, (y) [Reserved] and (z) prior to the Close of Business on any other date on which the Conversion Rate is referred to for purpose of determining the consideration deliverable upon settlement of a Note. In addition, the Issuer shall not account for such deferrals when determining whether any of the conditions to conversion have been satisfied or what number of shares of Common Stock a holder would have held on a given day had it converted its Notes.

(i) Limitation on Adjustments . Except as stated in this Section 10.05, the Issuer will not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. If, however, the application of the formulas in Sections 10.05(a) through (e) hereof would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, then, except to the extent of any readjustment to the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than as a result of a reverse share split or share combination).

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and without limiting the foregoing paragraph, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted:

(i) on account of stock repurchases that are not tender offers referred to in Section 10.05(e) hereof, including structured or derivative transactions, or transactions pursuant to a stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors or otherwise;

-88-

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

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

(iv) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in Section 10.05(i)(iii) immediately above and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

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

(vi) for accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any.

(j) Calculations . All calculations under this Article X shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-millionth of a share, as the case may be. Adjustments to the Conversion Rate will be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th.

SECTION 10.06 Discretionary and Voluntary Adjustments .

(a) Discretionary Adjustments . Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Issuer to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs or any function thereof over a span of multiple days (including during an Observation Period), the Issuer will make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the effective date, Ex-Dividend Date or Offer Expiration Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when such Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs or function thereof is to be calculated.

(b) Voluntary Adjustments . To the extent permitted by applicable law and applicable requirements of the securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, the Issuer is permitted (but not required) to increase the Conversion Rate of the Notes (i) by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Issuer’s best interest or (ii) to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event.

SECTION 10.07 Adjustments Upon Certain Fundamental Changes .

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Conversion Rate applicable to each Note that is surrendered for conversion, in accordance with this Article X, at any time during the period (the “ Make-Whole Conversion Period ”) that begins on, and includes, the effective date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change and ends on, and includes, the date that is 35 Business Days after the actual effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change (or, if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change also constitutes a Fundamental Change, the second scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date applicable to such Fundamental Change) shall be increased to an amount equal to the Conversion Rate that would, but for this Section 10.07, otherwise apply to such Note pursuant to this Article X, plus an amount equal to the Make-Whole Applicable Increase; provided , however , that such increase to the Conversion Rate shall not apply if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is announced by the Issuer but not consummated.

-89-

The additional consideration deliverable or payable hereunder on account of any Make-Whole Applicable Increase with respect to a Note surrendered for conversion is herein referred to as the “ Make-Whole Consideration .”

(b) As used herein, “ Make-Whole Applicable Increase ” shall mean, with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the number of shares set forth in the following table, which corresponds to the effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change (the “ Make-Whole Effective Date ”) and the Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

provided, however , that:

(i) if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two (2) prices listed in the table above under the column titled “Applicable Price,” or if the actual Make-Whole Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two dates listed in the table above in the column immediately below the title “Make-Whole Effective Date,” then the Make-Whole Applicable Increase for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by linear interpolation between the Make-Whole Applicable Increases set forth for such two prices, or for such two dates based on a three hundred and sixty five (365) day year, as applicable;

(ii) if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is greater than $23.48 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10.07(b)(iii)), or if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is less than $6.52 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10.07(b)(iii)), then the Make-Whole Applicable Increase shall be equal to zero;

(iii) if an event occurs that requires, pursuant to this Article X (other than solely pursuant to this Section 10.07), an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, then, on the date and at the time such adjustment is so required to be made, (A) each price set forth in the table above in the row titled “Applicable Price” shall be deemed to be adjusted so that such price, at and after such time, shall be equal to the product of (1) such price as in effect immediately before such

-90-

adjustment to such price and (2) a fraction whose numerator is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and whose denominator is the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance with this Article X, immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate; and (B) each Make-Whole Applicable Increase amount set forth in the table above shall be deemed to be adjusted so that such Make-Whole Applicable Increase, at and after such time, shall be equal to the product of (1) such Make-Whole Applicable Increase as in effect immediately before such adjustment to such Make-Whole Applicable Increase and (2) a fraction whose numerator is the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance with this Article X, immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and whose denominator is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Conversion Rate; and

(iv) in no event shall the Conversion Rate applicable to any Note be increased pursuant to this Section 10.07 to the extent, but only to the extent, such increase shall cause the Conversion Rate applicable to such Note to exceed 0.046982 shares per $1.00 principal amount (the “ Make-Whole Cap ”); provided , however , that the Make-Whole Cap shall be adjusted in the same manner in which, and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is to be adjusted pursuant to this Article X.

(c) As used herein, “ Applicable Price ” shall have the following meaning with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change: (a) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is a transaction or series of related transactions described in clause (2) of the definition of “Fundamental Change” and the consideration (excluding cash payments for fractional shares or pursuant to statutory appraisal rights) for the shares of Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change consists solely of cash, then the “Applicable Price” with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be equal to the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change; and (b) in all other circumstances, the “Applicable Price” with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be equal to the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Make-Whole Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, which average shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors, in its good faith determination (which determination shall be described in a Board Resolution), to account for any adjustment, pursuant to this Indenture, to the Conversion Rate that shall become effective, or any event requiring, pursuant to this Indenture, an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of such event occurs, at any time during such five consecutive Trading Days.

(d) The Make-Whole Consideration due upon a conversion of a Note by a holder shall be paid as soon as practicable after the Conversion Date of such conversion, but in no event later than the third Business Day after the date such holder surrenders such Note for such conversion. The consideration in which the Make-Whole Consideration is payable shall be determined in accordance herewith, including, without limitation, in accordance with Section 10.03 and, to the extent applicable, Section 10.08.

(e) No later than the fifth Business Day after the Make-Whole Effective Date of each Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Issuer shall mail to holders, in accordance with Section 13.02, written notice of, and shall publicly announce, through a reputable national newswire service, and publish on the Issuer’s website, such Make-Whole Effective Date and the Make-Whole Applicable Increase applicable to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(f) For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 10.07 shall not affect or diminish the Issuer’s obligations, if any, pursuant to Article XI with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

-91-

(g) Nothing in this Section 10.07 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.05 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

SECTION 10.08 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale .

(a) In the case of:

(i) any reclassification or change in the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Notes (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 of Common Stock),

(ii) any consolidation, statutory arrangement, merger, combination or binding share exchange involving a third party in which the Issuer is not the surviving party or

(iii) any sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s property or assets,

in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into or exchanged for, or would constitute solely the right to receive, cash, securities or other property (a “ Share Exchange Event ”), then the Issuer or such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such reclassification, change, consolidation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee providing that, at and after the effective time of such reclassification, change, consolidation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, the holder of each Note then outstanding shall have the right to convert each $1.00 principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property (collectively, “ Reference Property ”) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition (assuming, if holders of Common Stock shall have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received pursuant to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, that the Collective Election shall have been made with respect to such election). In the event that the Issuer is the surviving party in a consolidation, statutory arrangement, merger or binding share exchange involving a third party, such supplemental indenture shall provide that the Reference Property to be provided for upon conversion, if other than the Common Stock, would be payable by another party to the transaction; provided that the Issuer shall not enter into such transaction if as a result thereof holders would be subject to a greater risk of not receiving in full the Reference Property upon conversion. If the Reference Property consists solely of cash, such consideration shall be paid by the Issuer no later than the third Trading Day after the relevant Conversion Date. If holders of Common Stock shall have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received pursuant to such reclassification, change, consolidation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, the Reference Property shall be deemed to be the weighted average, per share of Common Stock, of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election (or, if no holders of Common Stock make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by holders of Common Stock) (the “ Collective Election ”). The Issuer shall notify holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

-92-

(b) The supplemental indenture referred to in the clause (a) of this Section shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Rate which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Rate provided for in this Article X. The foregoing, however, shall not in any way affect the right a holder of a Note may otherwise have, pursuant to Section 10.05(g), to receive rights or warrants upon conversion of a Note. If, in the case of any such consolidation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, the stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and property of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such consolidation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, 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 in good faith shall reasonably determine necessary by reason of the foregoing (which determination shall be described in a Board Resolution). The provisions of this Section 10.08 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, statutory arrangements, mergers, binding share exchanges, sales, transfers, leases, conveyances or dispositions.

(c) In the event the Issuer shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 10.08, the Issuer shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by holders of the Notes upon the conversion of their Notes after any such reclassification, change, consolidation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition and any adjustment to be made with respect thereto.

(d) The Issuer shall not become a party to any such reclassification, change, consolidation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition unless the terms thereof are consistent with this Section 10.08.

SECTION 10.09 Responsibility of Trustee . Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent has any duty or responsibility to calculate the Conversion Price or to determine when an adjustment under this Article X should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto which the Issuer is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.10 hereof. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent makes any representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Notes, and neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for the failure by the Issuer to comply with any provisions of this Article X. The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 10.08, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto which the Issuer is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.08 hereof.

Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Issuer to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock or share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion; and neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible or liable for any failure of the Issuer to comply with any of the covenants of the Issuer contained in this Article X. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 10.08 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable by holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 10.08 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but may

-93-

accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which the Issuer shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

SECTION 10.10 Notice of Adjustment . Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Issuer shall promptly mail, cause to be mailed or delivered electronically (if held at DTC) to holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.

SECTION 10.11 Notice of Certain Transactions . The Issuer shall deliver written notices of the events specified below at the times specified below and containing the information specified below unless, in each case (i) pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer is already required to deliver notice of such event containing at least the information specified below at an earlier time or (ii) the Issuer, at the time it is required to deliver a notice, does not have knowledge of all of the information required to be included in such notice, in which case, the Issuer shall (A) deliver notice at such time containing only the information that it has knowledge of at such time (if it has knowledge of any such information at such time), and (B) promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any such information not already included in a notice delivered by the Issuer, deliver notice to each Holder containing such information. In each case, the failure by the Issuer to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

(i) Issuances, Distributions, and Dividends and Distributions . If the Issuer (A) announces any issuance of any rights, options or warrants that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.05(b) hereof; (B) authorizes any distribution that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.05(c) hereof (including any separation of rights from the Common Stock described in Section 10.05(g) hereof); or (C) announces any dividend or distribution that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.05(d) hereof, then the Issuer shall deliver to the holders, as promptly as practicable after the holders of the Common Stock are notified of such event, notice describing such issuance, dividend or distribution, as the case may be, and stating the expected Ex-Dividend Date and record date for such issuance, dividend or distribution, as the case may be. In addition, the Issuer shall deliver to the holders written notice if the consideration included in such issuance, dividend or distribution, or the Ex-Dividend Date or record date of such issuance, dividend or distribution, as the case may be, changes.

(ii) Tender and Exchange Offers . If the Issuer announces any tender or exchange offer that could require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.05(e) hereof, the Issuer shall deliver a written notice of such tender or exchange offer to the holders on the day it announces such tender or exchange offer.

(iii) Voluntary Increases . If the Issuer increases the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.06(b), the Issuer shall deliver notice to the holders at least two Scheduled Trading Days prior to the date on which such increase will become effective, which notice shall state the date on which such increase will become effective and the amount by which the Conversion Rate will be increased.

(iv) Dissolutions, Liquidations and Winding-Ups . If there is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Issuer, the Issuer shall deliver notice to the holders at promptly as possible, but in any event prior to the earlier of (A) the date on which such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, is expected to become effective

-94-

or occur, and (B) the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, which notice shall state the expected effective date and record date for such event, as applicable, and the amount and kind of property that a holder of one share of the Common Stock is expected to be entitled, or may elect, to receive in such event. The Issuer shall deliver an additional written notice to holders, as promptly as practicable, whenever the expected effective date or record date, as applicable, or the amount and kind of property that a holder of one share of the Common Stock is expect to be entitled to receive in such event, changes.

SECTION 10.12 Exchange in Lieu of Conversion .

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X, when a holder surrenders a Note for conversion, the Issuer may, at its election, direct the Conversion Agent to surrender, on or prior to the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, such Notes to a financial institution designated by the Issuer for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion, the designated financial institution must agree to deliver in exchange for such Notes, all of the shares of Common Stock due upon conversion, all in accordance with Section 10.02. By the Close of Business on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, the Issuer shall notify the holder surrendering Notes for conversion that the Issuer has directed the designated financial institution to make an exchange in lieu of conversion.

(b) If the designated financial institution accepts any such Notes, it will deliver the shares of Common Stock due upon conversion to the Conversion Agent, and the Conversion Agent shall deliver such shares of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) to such holder on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. Any Notes exchanged by the designated financial institution will remain outstanding. If the designated financial institution agrees to accept any Notes for exchange but does not timely deliver the related shares of Common Stock or if such designated financial institution does not accept the Notes for exchange, the Issuer shall convert the Notes and deliver the shares or Common Stock due upon conversion on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date as set forth in Section 10.02. The Issuer’s designation of a financial institution to which the Notes may be submitted for exchange does not require the financial institution to accept any Notes (unless the financial institution has separately made an agreement with the Issuer to do so). The Issuer may, but will not be obligated to, enter into a separate agreement with any designated financial institution that would compensate it for any such transaction.

SECTION 10.13 Mandatory Conversion .

(a) The Issuer may elect at its option to cause all (but not less than all) of the Notes to be mandatorily converted (the “ Mandatory Conversion ”) at any time following the third anniversary of the Issue Date and prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 140% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period (any such period, a “ Mandatory Conversion Trigger Period ”), ending on the Trading Day prior to the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date.

(b) In order to exercise the Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 10.13(a), the Issuer or, at the written request and expense of the Issuer, the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, shall deliver to each holder of the Notes a notice (a “ Mandatory Conversion Notice ”) of exercise of the Mandatory Conversion within five Business Days after the end of the Mandatory Conversion Trigger Period (the date such Mandatory Conversion Notice is sent to the Holders in the manner herein provided, the “ Mandatory

-95-

Conversion Notice Date ”). The Issuer will select the date on which the Notes will be converted pursuant to the Mandatory Conversion, which shall be not more than 60 calendar days after the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date (such date, the “ Mandatory Conversion Date ”). The Issuer shall also deliver a copy of such Mandatory Conversion Notice to the Trustee concurrently with the delivery thereof to the holders to the extent that the Trustee does not deliver such Mandatory Conversion Notice on behalf of the Issuer. If such Mandatory Conversion Notice is to be given by the Trustee, the Issuer shall prepare and provide the form and content of such Mandatory Conversion Notice to the Trustee. With respect to Definitive Notes, such delivery shall be by first class mail, and with respect to Global Notes, such delivery shall be pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depository. The Mandatory Conversion Notice, if sent in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not any holder receives such Mandatory Conversion Notice.

(c) The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall state:

(i) the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date;

(ii) the Mandatory Conversion Trigger Period;

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be mandatorily converted;

(iv) the CUSIP number, ISIN and/or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Notes being converted;

(v) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number or ISIN and/or “Common Code” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes;

(vi) the Mandatory Conversion Date;

(vii) the Conversion Rate and Conversion Price then in effect;

(viii) that on and after the Mandatory Conversion Date interest on the Notes to be converted will cease to accrue; and

(ix) the name and address of each Paying Agent and Conversion Agent and the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for conversion.

(d) Each holder of a Note, by the holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to take the following actions prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date in respect of its Notes subject to a Mandatory Conversion: (i) if a Definitive Note, surrender the mandatorily converted Note to the Conversion Agent (or in respect of a Global Note, take any actions required for the surrender of a beneficial interest in such Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures), (ii) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar, the Conversion Agent or the Applicable Procedures, (iii) pay any transfer or other tax, if required by Section 10.02(g), (iv) if the Note is a Global Note, complete and deliver to the Depository any required instructions pursuant to the Applicable Procedures and (v) any other action necessary to effectuate the Mandatory Conversion as may be reasonably requested by the Issuer. In the event that a holder of Notes does not take any of the actions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, each holder of a Note, by such holder’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Issuer to take any action on such holder’s behalf to effectuate the Mandatory Conversion and appoints the Issuer such holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

-96-

(e) The Issuer will deliver to the holders of Notes, on the third Business Day immediately following the Mandatory Conversion Date for such Notes, (i) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (A)(x) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes to be converted  divided by (y) $1.00 and (B) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Conversion Date, rounded down to the nearest whole number, (ii) an amount of cash equal to the product of (A) the fraction of a share of Common Stock eliminated by such rounding and (B) the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Conversion Date (or if such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day) and (iii) an amount of cash equal to accrued and unpaid interest to the Mandatory Conversion Date, unless the Mandatory Conversion Date occurs during the period after the Close of Business on any regular Record Date and before the Close of Business on the related Interest Payment Date, in which case interest will be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the holders of Notes in whose names the Notes are registered at the Close of Business on the relevant regular Record Date. Upon the Mandatory Conversion Date, unless the Issuer defaults in delivering or paying the amounts due pursuant to the foregoing sentence, interest on the Notes or portion of Notes so called for the Mandatory Conversion shall cease to accrue and the holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, to which they are entitled pursuant to this Section 10.13. Upon a conversion pursuant to this Section 10.13, the Person in whose name such shares of Common Stock will be registered will become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock at the Close of Business on the Mandatory Conversion Date for such Note.

(f) If any of the provisions of this Section 10.13 are inconsistent with applicable law at the time of such Mandatory Conversion, such law shall govern.

Article XI.

REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

SECTION 11.01 Purchase at Option of Holders upon a Fundamental Change . In the event any Fundamental Change occurs, the Issuer shall offer to purchase for cash (a “ Fundamental Change Purchase Offer ”) all outstanding Notes (portions thereof to be purchased in a minimum denomination of $100 principal amount or integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof), on a date selected by the Issuer (the “ Fundamental Change Purchase Date ”), which Fundamental Change Purchase Date shall be no later than thirty five (35) calendar days, nor earlier than twenty (20) calendar days, after the date the Fundamental Change Notice (as defined below) is delivered in accordance with Section 11.02, at a price, payable in cash, equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Notes (or portions thereof) to be so purchased (the “ Fundamental Change Purchase Price ”), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date; provided , however , that if the Issuer purchases a Note on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Record Date, the Issuer shall instead pay the full amount of such accrued and unpaid interest on such Note on the Interest Payment Date to the holder of record of such Note as of such Record Date and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall then be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Note the Issuer purchases on such Fundamental Change Purchase Date; provided, further , that the Fundamental Change Purchase Date may be delayed to allow the Issuer to comply with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no purchase of any Notes pursuant to this Section 11.01 if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Issuer in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective holders thereof any Definitive Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Issuer in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Notes) and shall deem to be cancelled any

-97-

instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the Applicable Procedures, in which case, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

SECTION 11.02 Fundamental Change Notice .

(a) General . Within twenty (20) Business Days after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Issuer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to all holders of record of the Notes at their addresses shown in the register of the Registrar, and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law, a notice (the “ Fundamental Change Notice ”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and the purchase right arising as a result thereof. Such notice shall be sent by first class mail or, in the case of any Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures for providing notices. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Notice, the Issuer shall publish a press release and publish such information on the Issuer’s website. Each Fundamental Change Notice shall specify:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

(ii) the date of such Fundamental Change;

(iv) the date by which the Fundamental Change Purchase Offer must be accepted;

(v) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;

(vi) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

(vii) a description of the procedures which a holder must follow to accept the Fundamental Change Purchase Offer;

(viii) that, in order to accept the Fundamental Change Purchase Offer, a holder must surrender the Notes for payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable as provided in this Article XI;

(ix) that the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, for any Note as to which a Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn will be paid as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the later of such Fundamental Change Purchase Date and the time of delivery of the Note (together with all necessary endorsements) as described in clause (viii) above; provided , however , that if such Fundamental Change Purchase Date is after a Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Record Date, the Issuer shall instead pay the full amount of such accrued and unpaid interest on such Note on the Interest Payment Date to the holder of record of such Note as of such Record Date and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall then be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Note the Issuer purchases on such Fundamental Change Purchase Date;

-98-

(x) that, except as otherwise provided herein, on and after such Fundamental Change Purchase Date (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable as provided in this Article XI), interest on Notes subject to the Fundamental Change Purchase Offer will cease to accrue, and all rights of the Holders of such Notes shall terminate, other than the right to receive, in accordance herewith, the consideration payable as herein provided pursuant to the Fundamental Change Purchase Offer;

(xi) that a holder will be entitled to withdraw its election in the Purchase Notice prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, or such longer period as may be required by law;

(xii) the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate that will result from such Fundamental Change;

(xiii) that Notes with respect to which a Purchase Notice is given by a holder may be converted pursuant to Article X only if such Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with Article XI or if there shall be a Default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or in the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable as provided in Article XI;

(xiv) the CUSIP number or numbers, as the case may be, of the Notes; and

(xv) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

(b) No failure of the Issuer to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to Section 11.01.

(c) At the Issuer’s request, upon five (5) Business Days prior notice (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee shall mail (or deliver if the Notes are held through DTC) such Fundamental Change Notice in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided , however , that the form and content of such Fundamental Change Notice shall be prepared by the Issuer.

The Issuer shall pay interest semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each an “ Interest Payment Date ”), commencing April 1, 2018. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the Issue Date, until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders at the Close of Business on the March 15 and September 15 (each a “ Record Date ”) next preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender Notes to the Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depository. The Issuer shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each holder thereof; provided , however , that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

Initially, Delaware Trust Company (the “ Trustee ”) will act as the Trustee, Paying Agent, and Registrar and Computershare Inc. or one of its affiliates will act as Conversion Agent (the “ Conversion Agent ”). The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar without notice. The Issuer or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar.

The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of October 6, 2017 (the “ Indenture ”), among the Issuer and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa 77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “ TIA ”). Terms defined in the Indenture

A-5

and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the holders (as defined in the Indenture) are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. This Note is one of the Original Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Original Notes and any Additional Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture. The Original Notes and any Additional Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, Incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of capital stock of the Issuer and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or Incur Liens and make Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Issuer to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property.

There are no guarantors of the Notes on the Issue Date.

Except as set forth in Section 2.15 of the Indenture, the Notes are not subject to redemption or any sinking fund payments.

In the event any Fundamental Change occurs, the Issuer shall offer to purchase for cash all outstanding Notes on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date at a price, payable in cash, equal to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, in accordance with Article XI of the Indenture.

In accordance with Sections 4.06 and 11.01 of the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of certain events.

Subject to, and upon compliance with, the provisions of Article X of the Indenture, a holder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $100 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) of its Notes at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, at the Conversion Rate, in accordance with Article X of the Indenture.

The Conversion Rate applicable to each Note that is surrendered for conversion, in accordance with the Note and Article X of the Indenture, at any time during the Make-Whole Conversion Period with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be increased to an amount equal to the Conversion Rate that would, but for Section 10.07 of the Indenture, otherwise apply to such Note pursuant to Article X of the Indenture, plus an amount equal to the Make-Whole Applicable Increase; provided , however , that such increase to the Conversion Rate shall not apply if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is announced by the Issuer but not consummated.

A-6

The Issuer may elect at its option to cause all (but not less than all) of the Notes to be mandatorily converted at any time following October 1, 2020 and prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, if the Last Reported Sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 140% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period, upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 10.13 of the Indenture.

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $100 and any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof. A holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any registration of transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before to a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

The registered holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After any such payment, the holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

Subject to certain conditions set forth in Article VIII of the Indenture, the Issuer at any time may terminate some of or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes) and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any holder, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes, provided that such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of Notes, it being understood that the taking of any action otherwise expressly contemplated by the Indenture shall not be adverse to the rights of such holders: (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to provide for the assumption by a Successor Issuer of the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; provided, however, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a

A-7

manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; (iv) to add a guarantor or collateral with respect to the Notes or to secure the Notes; (v) to permit the Transactions in accordance with their terms; (vi) to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer; (vii) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying or maintaining the qualification of, this Indenture under the TIA; (viii) to make changes to provide for the issuance of any Additional Notes (including, without limitation, to add customary registration rights, exchange mechanics and related provisions), which shall have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Original Notes (other than with respect to customary registration rights), and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Original Notes, as a single issue of securities; (ix) upon the occurrence of a Share Exchange Event, solely (A) to provide that the Notes are convertible into Reference Property, as required under Section 10.08, and (B) to effect the related changes to the terms of the Notes required under Section 10.08 of the Indenture, in each case, in accordance with the applicable provisions thereof.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Issuer, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction and certain other conditions are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or if the Trustee being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not be lawfully taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or proceeding to directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability for which it is not adequately indemnified, or, subject to Section 7.01 of the Indenture, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

A-8

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

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or holder of any equity interests in the Issuer or of any of its Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent corporation, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

The Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers and ISINs to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers and ISINs in notices of redemption as a convenience to the holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

The Issuer will furnish to any holder of Notes upon written request and without charge to the holder a copy of the Indenture which has in it the text of this Note.
