(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Securities, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.11 of the Base Indenture and this Section 2.06. A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered;provided that this clause (b) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is issued in exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a Security to any Person shall be effective under this First Supplemental Indenture unless and until such Security has been registered in the name of such Person.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Securities, a Global Security shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Security registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof,providedthat a Global Security may be exchanged for Securities registered in the names of any Person designated by the Depositary in the event that (i) the Depositary has notified the

Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (i) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part. Any Security issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global Security;providedthat any such Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security.
(d) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have a principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, and shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee or the Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.
(e) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(g) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members (as defined below) and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this First Supplemental Indenture or the Securities.
(f) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.06(c) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.
(g) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this First Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company or the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.
10
(h) At such time as all interests in a Global Security have been repurchased, converted, cancelled or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, such Global Security shall, upon receipt thereof, be cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, subject to Section 2.08 of the Base Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Security is repurchased, converted, canceled or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Security shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

Notwithstanding Article 3 of the Base Indenture, the following Article 3 shall apply for purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Securities.
Section 3.01No Optional Redemption.
No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. The Securities will not be redeemable at the Company’s option.
Section 3.02Repurchase of Securities at Option of the Holder upon a Fundamental Change.
(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Final Maturity Date, each Holder of a Security shall have the right, at the option of the Holder, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of the Securities of such Holder equal to $1,000 principal amount (or an integral multiple thereof) at the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, on the date specified by the Company that is not less than 20 days and not more than 35 days after the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice pursuant to subsection 3.02(b) (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”).
(b) On or before the tenth day after the Fundamental Change Effective Date, the Company, or, at the written request of the Company, the Trustee, shall mail a written notice of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change, and of the repurchase right arising therefrom, to the Trustee, Paying Agent and to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”). Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the Company shall publish a notice containing substantially the same information that is required in the Fundamental Change Company Notice in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish information on a website of the Company or through such other public medium the Company may use at that time. The Fundamental Change Company Notice shall set forth the Holder’s right to require the Company to purchase the Securities and specify:
(1) the events causing such Fundamental Change;
(2) the date of such Fundamental Change;
11
(3) the last date by which the Fundamental Repurchase Notice must be delivered to elect the repurchase option pursuant to this Section 3.02;
(4) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;
(5) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;
(6) the name and address of each Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;
(7) the then effective Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate resulting from such Fundamental Change;
(8) that the Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and
(9) the procedures that the Holder must follow to require the Company to repurchase its Securities under this Section 3.02.
At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give such Fundamental Change Company Notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that, in all cases, the Company makes such request at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date by which such Fundamental Change Company Notice must be given to the Holders in accordance with this Section 3.02;provided, further, that the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company. If any of the Securities is in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the Applicable Procedures relating to the purchase of Global Securities.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any Holder’s right to exercise its right to cause the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Securities pursuant to this Section 3.02.
(c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in Section 3.02 upon delivery of (1) the Security to be repurchased, duly endorsed for transfer, together with (2) a duly completed notice (which shall be in substantially the form entitled “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice” and set forth on the reverse of the Security and which may be delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures) of the exercise of such rights (a “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) to the Paying Agent at any time on or before the close of business on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law.
(1) The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state: (A) the certificate number (if such Security is held other than in global form) of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased (or, if the Security is held in global form, any other items required to comply with the Applicable Procedures), (B) the portion of the principal amount of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, and (C) that such
12
Security shall be repurchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Securities and in this First Supplemental Indenture.
(2) The delivery of a Security for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been timely delivered to any Paying Agent, on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of such Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price therefor.
(3) The Company shall only be obliged to purchase, pursuant to this Section 3.02, a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 (provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security).
(4) A Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
(5) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be delivered and such Securities may be surrendered or delivered for purchase in accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.
(6) A Holder may withdraw any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in whole or in part by written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent on or before the close of business on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. Such notice of withdrawal shall state: (A) the principal amount of the withdrawn Security, (B) the certificate number (if such Security is held other than in global form) of the withdrawn Security (or, if the Security is held in global form, any other items required to comply with the Applicable Procedures), and (C) the principal amount, if any, which remains subject to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
(d) The Company shall deposit cash at the time and in the manner as provided in Section 3.04, sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all Securities to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.02.
Section 3.03Effect of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of a properly completed Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice from a Holder, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice was given shall thereafter be entitled to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Security, subject to the occurrence of the Fundamental Change Effective Date. Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of (1) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided that the conditions in Section 3.02 have been satisfied) and (2) the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of such Security to a Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.02(c), subject to extension to comply with applicable law.
13
Section 3.04 Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price.
(a) On or before the close of business on the Business Day following the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on or after such Fundamental Change Purchase Date), sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. Payment by the Paying Agent of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price following receipt of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price from the Company shall be made promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of such Securities.
(b) If a Paying Agent holds, on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, in accordance with the terms hereof, money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Security for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been tendered then, immediately following the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date, whether or not book-entry transfer of the Security is made or whether or not the Security is delivered to the Paying Agent, each such Security will cease to be outstanding, interest, including any additional interest, if any, shall cease to accrue, and the rights of the Holder in respect of the Security shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon delivery or transfer of the Security as aforesaid).
(c) If a Fundamental Change Purchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, then interest on the Securities payable on such Interest Payment Date will be payable to the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date.
Section 3.05Repayment to the Company.
To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.04 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date the Paying Agent shall return any such excess cash to the Company.
Section 3.06Securities Purchased in Part.
Any Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of a Paying Agent, and promptly after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested by such Holder (which must be equal to $1,000 principal amount or any integral thereof), in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered that is not purchased.
14
Section 3.07Compliance with Securities Laws upon Purchase of Securities.
In connection with any offer to purchase of Securities under Section 3.02, the Company shall (a) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 (or any successor to either such Rule), and any other tender offer rules, if applicable, under the Exchange Act, (b) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor or similar schedule, form or report) if required under the Exchange Act, and (c) otherwise comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with such offer to purchase or purchase of Securities, all so as to permit the rights of the Holders and obligations of the Company under Sections 3.02 through 3.05 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified therein. To the extent that compliance with any such laws, rules and regulations would result in a conflict with any of the terms hereof, this Indenture is hereby modified to the extent required for the Company to comply with such laws, rules and regulations.
Section 3.08Purchase of Securities in Open Market.
The Company may purchase Securities in the open market, by tender at any price or pursuant to private agreements. The Company shall surrender any Security repurchased by the Company pursuant to this Article 3 to the Trustee for cancellation. Any Securities surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation may not be reissued or resold by the Company and will be canceled promptly in accordance with Section 2.08 of the Base Indenture.
Section 3.09Make Whole Premium.
If there shall have occurred a transaction described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of Change of Control, the Company shall pay a Make Whole Premium under certain circumstances as described in Section 4.01(e).
Article 4.
Conversion
Conversion
Section 4.01Conversion Privilege and Conversion Rate.
(a) The conversion rights pursuant to this Article 4 shall commence on the Issue Date of the Securities and expire at the close of business on the Final Maturity Date, subject to the provisions of this Indenture and, in the case of conversion of any Global Security, to any Applicable Procedures. If a Security is submitted or presented for purchase pursuant to Article 3, such conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date for such Security (unless the Company shall fail to make the Fundamental Change Purchase Price payment when due in accordance with Article 3, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such failure is cured and such Security is purchased).
(b) Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security.
(c) A Holder of Securities is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such Holder has converted its Securities into Common Stock, and only to the extent such Securities are deemed to have been converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Article 4.
15
(d) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 4.01(e) and Section 4.06.
(e) If there shall have occurred a transaction described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of a Change of Control, the Company shall calculate and pay a “Make Whole Premium” to the Holders of the Securities who convert their Securities during the period beginning 20 days before the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date until the close of business on the tenth Business Day immediately following the Fundamental Change Effective Date by increasing the Conversion Rate for such Securities. The number of additional shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities constituting the Make Whole Premium shall be determined by reference to the table set forth onSchedule A hereto, based on the Fundamental Change Effective Date and the Stock Price;providedthat if the Stock Price or Fundamental Change Effective Date are not set forth on the table: (i) if the actual Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Stock Prices on the table or the actual Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Fundamental Change Effective Dates on the table, the Make Whole Premium will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the Make Whole Premiums set forth for the two Stock Prices and the two Fundamental Change Effective Dates on the table based on a 365-day year, as applicable, (ii) if the Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date exceeds $200.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no Make Whole Premium will be paid, and (iii) if the Stock Price on the Fundamental Change Effective Date is less than $17.42 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no Make Whole Premium will be paid. If Holders of the Company’s Common Stock receive only cash in the transaction, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Change. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be equal to the average Last Reported Sale Price of the Company’s Common Stock over the 10 Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding, and excluding, the applicable Fundamental Change Effective Date.
The Stock Prices set forth in the first column of the table onSchedule A will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Securities is adjusted other than an adjustment pursuant to the Make Whole Premium described above. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of additional shares set forth in the table above will be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 4.06 hereof, other than as a result of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate by adding the Make Whole Premium as described above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Security exceed 57.4051 per $1,000 principal amount as a result of this Section 4.01, subject to proportional adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in clauses (1) through (4) of Section 4.06(a) hereof.
(f) By delivering the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion to the Trustee, plus a cash payment for a fractional share, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Securities so converted and its obligation to pay accrued and unpaid interest attributable to the period from the most recent Interest Payment Date through the Conversion Date (which amount will be deemed cancelled, extinguished and forfeited).
16
Section 4.02Conversion Procedure.
(a) To convert a Security, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice on the back of the Security, or facsimile of such conversion notice, and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, which shall become irrevocable upon receipt by the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or the Conversion Agent, (4) pay an amount equal to the interest as required by Section 4.02(c) and (5) pay all transfer or similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 4.04. The date on which the Holder satisfies all of those requirements is the “Conversion Date.” Upon the conversion of a Security, the Company will deliver the shares of Common Stock, without service charge, as promptly as practicable after the Conversion Date, but in no event later than five Business Days after the Conversion Date. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, conversion notices may be delivered and such Securities may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with clauses (3), (4) and (5) of this Section 4.02(a) and the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.
(b) The person in whose name the shares of Common Stock are issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to be a holder of record of such Common Stock on the Conversion Date;provided, however, that no surrender of a Security on any Conversion Date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open;provided furtherthat such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion of a Security, such person shall no longer be a Holder of such Security. Except as set forth in this First Supplemental Indenture, no payment or adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions declared or made on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security prior to the issuance of such shares.
(c) Holders of Securities surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date will receive the semi-annual interest payable on the principal amount of such Securities being surrendered for conversion on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Upon surrender of any such Securities for conversion, such Securities shall also be accompanied by payment in funds to the Conversion Agent acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such corresponding Interest Payment Date (but excluding any overdue interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted that exists at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder which surrenders for conversion any Security (a) with respect to which the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (b) after the last Regular Record Date prior to the Final Maturity Date, in either case, need not pay the Company an amount equal to the interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.02(c), no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on a converted Security.
17
(d) Subject to Section 4.02(c), nothing in this Section shall affect the right of a Holder in whose name any Security is registered at the close of business on a Regular Record Date to receive the interest payable on such Security on the related Interest Payment Date in accordance with the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Securities. If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion (and the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.03) shall be based on the aggregate principal amount of all Securities so converted.
(e) In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, without service charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Security. A Security may be converted in part, but only if the principal amount of such part is an integral multiple of $1,000 and the principal amount of such Security to remain outstanding after such conversion is equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Section 4.03Fractional Shares.
No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Security or Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issued upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day preceding the Conversion Date.
Section 4.04Taxes on Conversion.
Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. A Holder delivering a Security for conversion shall be liable for and will be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.
18
Section 4.05Company to Provide Common Stock.
(a) The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Securities hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Securities into shares of Common Stock.
(b) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Securities shall be newly issued shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim as the result of any action by the Company.
(c) The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities.
Section 4.06Adjustment of Conversion Rate.
The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where, | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; | ||
CR’ | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; | ||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; and | ||
OS’ | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be. |
19
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately on or after (i) the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 4.06(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b) If the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock any rights or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period of not more than 45 days after the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution, shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Business Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where, | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
CR’ | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
X | = | the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and | ||
Y | = | the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Business Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |
For purposes of this Section 4.06(b), in determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the applicable Last Reported Sale Prices, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. If any right or warrant described in this Section 4.06(b) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such right or warrant had not been so issued. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.06(b) shall become effective immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable distribution.
20
(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company to all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:
(1) dividends or distributions referred to in clause (a) or (b) above;
(2) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and
(3) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this clause (c) shall apply;
then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where, | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
CR’ | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
SP0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Business Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and | ||
FMV | = | the average of the Fair Market Values (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Business Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock or shares of the Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth Business Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off will be increased based on the following formula:
21
where, | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the tenth Business Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; | ||
CR’ | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the tenth Business Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; | ||
FMV0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Business Day period immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; and | ||
MP0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Business Day period immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off. |
Such adjustment shall occur immediately after the tenth Business Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the ten Business Days following the effective date of any Spin-Off, references within the portion of this clause (c) related to “Spin-Offs” to 10 Business Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Business Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the relevant Conversion Date.
If any such dividend or distribution described in this clause (c) is declared but not paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where, | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
CR’ | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
SP0 | = | the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and | ||
C | = | the amount in cash per share of Common Stock of the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock. |
22
An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this clause (d) shall become effective immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in this clause (d) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where, | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on the last Business Day of the 10 consecutive Business Day period commencing on the Business Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; | ||
CR’ | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately following the last Business Day of the 10 consecutive Business Day period commencing on the Business Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; | ||
AC | = | the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer; | ||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer; | ||

SP’ | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Business Day period commencing on the Business Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires. |
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this clause (e) shall become effective immediately following the tenth Business Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;providedthat, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the ten Business Days following the date that any tender or exchange offer expires, references within this clause (e) to 10 Business Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Business Days as have elapsed between the date such tender or exchange offer expires and the relevant Conversion Date. If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock
23
pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but are permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.
Section 4.07When No Adjustment is Required.
(a) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate as last adjusted;provided, however,that any adjustments which would be required to be made but for this Section 4.07(a) shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment and any carry forward amount shall be paid to the Holder upon conversion regardless of the 1% threshold. All calculations under this Article 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of Section 4.06, no adjustment will be made thereunder, nor shall an adjustment be made to the ability of a Holder to convert, for any distribution described therein if the Holder will otherwise participate in the distribution without conversion of such Holder’s securities as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate,multipliedby the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of notes held by such holder, without having to convert its Securities. Further, if the application of the foregoing formulas in Section 4.06 would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (except on account of share combinations).
(c) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made unless as specifically set forth in Section 4.06 and Section 4.01(e). Without limiting the foregoing, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made:
(1) 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 securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
(2) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program or employee stock purchase plan of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(3) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (1) above and outstanding as of the Issue Date;
(4) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
(5) for accrued and unpaid Interest (including any Special Interest);
Section 4.08Notice of Adjustment.
24
Whenever the Conversion Rate or conversion privilege is required to be adjusted pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment, the adjusted Conversion Rate and the manner of computing it. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment. Unless and until the Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate setting forth an adjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that the Conversion Rate has not been adjusted and that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge remains in effect.
Section 4.09Notice of Certain Transactions.
In the event that there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee a notice stating the proposed effective date. The Company shall mail such notice at least 20 days before such proposed effective date. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in this Section 4.09.
Section 4.10Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale on Conversion Privilege.
If any of the following events occur:
(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination),
(ii) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination of the Company with another corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock or
(iii) any sale, conveyance or lease of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation
as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) (the “Reference Property”) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that each Security shall be convertible into the kind and amount of Reference Property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance had such Securities been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale, conveyance or lease. In the event holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale, conveyance or lease, the Reference Property will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types
25
and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. The Company will notify Holders of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4. If, in the case of any such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale, conveyance or lease, the Reference Property receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such recapitalization, reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth in Article 3 hereof.
In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 4.10, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of Reference Property that a holder of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive after any such transaction, and any adjustment to be made with respect thereto. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Securities, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive recapitalizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances.
If this Section 4.10 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 4.06 hereof shall not apply.
The Company shall not become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the foregoing. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder to convert the Securities as set forth in Section 4.01 prior to the effective time of such transaction.
Section 4.11Trustee’s Disclaimer.
(a) The Trustee shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 4 should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, including the Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.08. Unless and until the Trustee receives such Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.08, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such adjustment has been made and the last Conversion Rate of which the Trustee has knowledge remains in effect. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of
26
Securities, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with any provisions of this Article 4.
(b) The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 4.10, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, with respect thereto which the Company are obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.10 and Section 6.01, respectively.
Section 4.12Voluntary Increase.
Subject to Section 8.01(e), the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the stockholder approval requirements of The Nasdaq Global Market or such other United States securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days, the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company or to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of stock, or rights to acquire stock, or similar event, and the Company provides 15 days’ prior written notice of any increase in the Conversion Rate to the Trustee and the Holders;provided, however, that in no event may the Company increase the Conversion Rate such that it causes the Conversion Price to be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock.
Section 4.13Rights Plan.
To the extent that the Company has a Rights Plan in effect upon conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, the Holder will receive upon conversion of the Securities in respect of which the Company has elected to deliver Common Stock, if applicable, the Rights under the Rights Plan, unless prior to any conversion, 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 Company distributed to all holders of Common Stock shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets as described in Section 4.06(c) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such Rights. In lieu of any such adjustment, the Company may amend such applicable Rights Plan to provide that upon conversion of the Securities the Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the Rights which would have attached to such Common Stock if the Rights had not become separated from the Common Stock under such applicable Rights Plan.

28

Section 7.02Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
Notwithstanding Section 6.02 of the Base Indenture, this Section 7.02 shall apply for purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Securities.
If an Event of Default with respect to outstanding Securities (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(d) hereof (solely with respect to the Company’s obligations under Section 5.05 as described below), Section 7.01(g) or 7.01(h) hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare due and payable 100% of the principal amount of all outstanding Securities plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment shall be immediately due and payable.
32
If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(g) or 7.01(h) hereof occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Securities shall become and be immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(d) relating to the failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 5.04 and for any failure by the Company to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, shall for the first 60 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive special interest on Securities at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (the “Special Interest”). The Special Interest will accrue on all Outstanding Securities from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the obligations under Section 5.04 or the failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act first occurs to but not including the 60th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to such obligations shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 7.04). On such 60th day (or earlier, if such Event of Default is cured or waived pursuant to Section 7.04 prior to such 60th day), such Special Interest will cease to accrue and, if such Event of Default has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 7.04 prior to such 60th day, then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest on all such Securities to be due and payable immediately. This provision shall not affect the rights of the Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. If the Company elects to pay Special Interest as the sole remedy for an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(d) relating to the failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 5.04 and for any failure by the Company to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Company shall notify, in the manner provided for in Section 13.04 of the Base Indenture, the Holders and the Trustee of such election at any time on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs. If Special Interest is payable under this Section 7.02, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of Special Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which Special Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Special Interest is payable. If Special Interest has been paid by the Company directly to the persons entitled to them, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee may rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences if:
(1) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Securities which has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been remedied, cured or waived, and
(2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;
33
provided,however, that in the event such declaration of acceleration has been made based on the existence of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(e) hereof and such Event of Default has been remedied, cured or waived in accordance with Section 7.01(e) hereof, then, without any further action by the Holders, such declaration of acceleration shall be rescinded automatically and the consequences of such declaration shall be annulled. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 7.03Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default with respect to outstanding Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities.
Section 7.04Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders, either (a) through the written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Securities or (b) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the then-outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities represented at such meeting, may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities, waive an existing Default or Event of Default, except a Default or Event of Default:
(1) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security (provided,however, that subject to Section 7.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Securities may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
(2) in respect of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article 4; or
(3) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Section 8.02 hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture;provided,however, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 7.05Control by Majority.
Notwithstanding Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture, the Holders, either (a) through the written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, or (b) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Securities then
34
outstanding at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities represented at such meeting, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that:
(a) conflicts with any law or with this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture,
(b) the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of the Holders not joining therein, or
(c) in the Trustee’s reasonable judgment may expose the Trustee to personal liability.
The Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.
Section 7.06Limitation on Suit.
Notwithstanding Section 6.04 of the Base Indenture, no Holder of any Security shall have any right to pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities (including instituting any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee) unless:
(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of an Event of Default that is continuing;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against any costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in complying with such request;
(d) the Trustee has failed to comply with the request for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and
(e) during such 60-day period, no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (or such amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture).
35
Section 7.07Unconditional Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert.

MannKind Corporation
3.75% Senior Convertible Notes due 2013
1. | INTEREST |
The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 3.75% per annum. The Company shall pay interest semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on June 15, 2007. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from December 12, 2006;provided, however,that if there is not an existing default in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding interest payment date, such Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.
If the Holder elects to require the Company to repurchase this Security pursuant to Section 5 of this Security, on a date that is after the Regular Record Date and prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, interest accrued and unpaid hereon to, but not including, the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date, will be paid to the Holder in whose name the Securities are registered as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
A Holder of any Security at the close of business on a Regular Record Date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Security on the corresponding Interest Payment Date. A Holder of any Security which is converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date) shall be entitled to receive interest on the principal amount of such Security, notwithstanding the conversion of such Security prior to such Interest Payment Date. However, any such Holder which surrenders any such Security for conversion during the period between the close of business on such Regular Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be required to pay the Company an amount equal to the interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted (but excluding any overdue interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted that exists at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion), which is payable by the Company to such Holder on such Interest Payment Date, at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder which surrenders for conversion any Security (a) with respect to which the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (b) after the last Regular Record Date prior to the Final Maturity Date, in either case, shall be entitled to receive (and retain) such interest and need not pay the Company an amount equal to the interest on the principal amount of such Security so converted at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion.

2. | METHOD OF PAYMENT |
The Company shall pay interest on this Security (except defaulted interest) to the person who is the Holder of this Security at the close of business on June 1 or December 1, as the case may be, (each, a “Regular Record Date”) immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Security to a Paying Agent to collect payment of principal. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company may pay principal and interest in respect of any Certificated Security by check or wire transfer payable in such money;provided, however,that a Holder with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $2,000,000 will be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the election of such Holder if such Holder has provided wire transfer instructions to the Trustee at least 10 Business Days prior to the Payment Date. The Company may mail an interest check to the Holder’s registered address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as this Security is registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all payments hereon shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.
