have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Trust Indenture Act
and in the Securities Act as in force at the date of the execution
of this Indenture. The words “ herein ”, “
hereof ”, “ hereunder ” and words
of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any
particular Article, Section or other Subdivision. The terms defined
in this Article include the plural as well as the
singular.
“
Additional Interest ” has the meaning given the term
“Additional Interest Amount” in Section 2(e) of the
Registration Rights Agreement.
“
Additional Shares ” has the meaning specified in
Section 15.11.
“ Agent
Members ” has the meaning specified in
Section 2.05(a).
“
Affiliate ” of any specified Person means any other
Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For
the purposes of this definition, “ control ”,
when used with respect to any specified Person means the power to
direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of
such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership
of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms
“ controlling ” and “ controlled

Company or a committee of such Board duly authorized to act for it

or legal holiday on which The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is
authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to
close.
“
Cash ” or “ cash ” means such coin
or currency of the United States as at any time of payment is legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts.
“ Cash
Settlement Averaging Period ” means (a) with respect
to any Conversion Date occurring on or after the 12th Scheduled
Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, Redemption
Date or Fundamental Change Redemption Date, the ten
(10) consecutive Trading Day period beginning on, and
including, the 12th Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding
such date, subject to any extension due to a Market Disruption
Event and (b) in all other cases, the ten
(10) consecutive Trading Day period beginning on, and
including, the third Trading Day immediately following the relevant
Conversion Date.
“ Change
in Control ” means the occurrence of any of the following
transactions:
(i) a
“person” or “group” within the meaning of
Section l3(d)(3) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (including any group
acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of
securities within the meaning or Rule 13-d-5(b)(1) under the
Exchange Act) files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or
report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group
has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,”
as defined in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the
Exchange Act, of Common Stock representing more than fifty percent
(50%) of the voting power of the Common Stock entitled to vote
generally in the election of the Board of Directors; or
(ii) the
first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors does not consist of Continuing Directors; or
(iii) a
consolidation, merger or binding share exchange (other than any
such transaction (a) that does not result in any reclassification,
conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding Common Stock,
and (b) pursuant to which holders of the Common Stock
immediately before the transaction have the entitlement to
exercise, directly or indirectly, fifty
2
percent (50%)
or more of the total voting power of all series of capital stock
entitled to vote generally in elections of the Board of Directors
of the continuing or surviving or successor Person immediately
after giving effect to such issuance), or any conveyance, transfer,
sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of our
properties and assets to another Person; or
(iv) the
Company’s stockholders approve any plan or proposal for the
Company’s liquidation.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of a consolidation or merger, it will
not constitute a Change in Control if at least ninety percent (90%)
of the consideration for the Common Stock (excluding cash payments
for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of
dissenters’ appraisal rights and cash payment of the required
cash payment, if any) in the consolidation or merger constituting
the Change in Control consists of securities traded on a United
States national securities exchange, or which will be so traded
when issued or exchanged in connection with the Change in Control,
and as a result of such consolidation or merger the securities
become convertible solely into such securities.
“
Commission ” means the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as from time to time constituted, created under the
Exchange Act, or, if at any time after the execution of this
Indenture such Commission is not existing and performing the duties
now assigned to it under the Trust Indenture Act, then the body
performing such duties at such time.
“ Common
Stock ” means any shares of any class of the Company
which has no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts
payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company and that is not subject to
redemption by the Company. Subject to the provisions of
Section 15.07, however, shares issuable on conversion of
Securities shall include only shares of the class designated as
Common Stock at the date of this Indenture (namely, the common

proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed

deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money
when
11

held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the
Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than fifteen
(15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the
date of the proposed payment, and not less than ten (10) days
after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the
Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each holder at his address
as it appears in the Security Register, not less than ten

proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record
date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall

respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable
pursuant to the following clause (2) of this Section
2.03.

lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any

the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to
such Depositary or a nominee thereof or Custodian therefor, and
each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for
all purposes of this Indenture.
(ii)
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global
Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities
registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in
part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the
Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (A) the Depositary
(i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary for such Global Security and a successor
depositary has not been appointed by the Company within ninety
(90) days or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act and no successor clearing agency
has been appointed by the Company within 90 days, (B) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (C) the
Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in writing
that it no longer wishes to have all the Securities represented by
Global Securities; provided that beneficial interests in a
Global Security may be exchanged for definitive certificated
Securities upon request by or on behalf of the Depositary in
accordance with customary procedures. Any Global Security exchanged
pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above shall be so exchanged
in whole and not in part and any Global Security exchanged pursuant
to clause (C) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to
time in part as directed by the Company. Any Security issued in
exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a
Global Security; provided that any such Security so issued
that is registered in the name of a Person other than the
Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global
Security.
(iii) Securities
issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof
pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be issued in definitive,
fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an
aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or
portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such
names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary
shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any
Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by
the Depositary to the Trustee, as Security 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 make available for delivery the
Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the written order of
the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.
(iv) In the event
of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (ii)
above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a
reasonable supply of certificated Securities in definitive, fully
registered form, without interest coupons.
14
(v) Neither any
members of, or participants in, the Depositary ( “Agent
Members” ) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent
Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with
respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the
Depositary or any nominee thereof, 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, 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.
(vi) At such time
as all interests in a Global Security have been redeemed,
repurchased, converted, canceled or exchanged for Securities in
certificated form, such Global Security shall, upon receipt
thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing
procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the
Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest
in a Global Security is redeemed, 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 Custodian, be appropriately reduced, and an
endorsement shall be made on such Global Security, by the Trustee
or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such
reduction.
(b) The
transfer restrictions set forth below shall apply to the
Securities, whether in the form of a Global Security or a
Certificated Security.
Until the date
that is one year after the last original issue date of the
Securities, any certificate evidencing such Security (and all
securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof)
and any share certificate representing Common Stock issued upon
conversion of any Security shall bear the Restricted Securities
Legend, unless (1) such Security or such Common Stock have
been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been
declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to
be effective at the time of such transfer) or pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar provision
then in force, or such Common Stock have been issued upon
conversion of Securities that have been transferred pursuant to a
registration statement that has been declared effective under the
Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act or any similar provision then in force, (2) such Security
or such Common Stock are eligible for resale pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision)
as is in effect on the date of transfer of such Security or
(3) otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with written
notice thereof to the Trustee.
Every Security
that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(b) to bear
the Restricted Securities Legend (the “Restricted
Securities” ) shall be subject to the restrictions on
transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(b) (including those
set forth in the Restricted Securities Legend)
15
unless such
restrictions on transfer shall be waived by written consent of the
Company, and the holder of each such Restricted Security, by such
Securityholder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by
all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this
Section 2.05(b), the term “transfer”
encompasses any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition
whatsoever of any Restricted Security or any interest
therein.
Any Security (or
security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which
such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with
their terms or as to conditions for removal of the Restricted
Securities Legend have been satisfied may, upon surrender of such
Security for exchange to the Security Registrar in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new
Security or Securities, of like tenor and aggregate principal
amount, which shall not bear the Restricted Securities Legend. If
the Restricted Security surrendered for exchange is represented by
a Global Security bearing a Restricted Securities Legend, the
principal amount of the Global Security so legended shall be
reduced by the appropriate principal amount and the principal
amount of a Global Security without the Restricted Securities
Legend shall be increased by an equal principal amount. If a Global
Security without the Restricted Securities Legend is not then
outstanding, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver a Global Security without the Restricted
Securities Legend to the Depositary.
Any such Common
Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired
in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for
removal of the foregoing legend set forth therein have been
satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such
Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the
transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new
certificate or certificates for a like number of shares of Common
Stock, which shall not bear the Restricted Securities
Legend.
(c) Any
Security or Common Stock issued upon the conversion of a Security
that is purchased or owned by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof
may not be resold by the Company or such Subsidiary unless
registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
in a transaction which results in such Securities or Common Stock,
as the case may be, no longer being “restricted
securities” (as defined under Rule 144).
(d) The
Company shall use its best efforts to prevent any Affiliate who is
not a Subsidiary from reselling any Security or Common Stock issued
upon the conversion of a Security, except for the resale of such
Securities or Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration
statement or resales of such Securities or Common Stock to the
Company or a Subsidiary.
(e) The
Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Agent
Members or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the
books or records, or the acts or omissions, of the Depositary or
its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect
to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the
delivery to any Agent Member or other Person (other than the
Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or
repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to
such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the
Securityholders and all payments to be made to
16
Securityholders
under the Securities shall be given or made only to or upon the
order of the registered Securityholders (which shall be the
Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Security). The
rights of beneficial owners in any Global Security shall be
exercised only through the Depositary subject to the customary
procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may conclusively rely and
shall be fully protected in relying conclusively upon information
furnished by the Depositary with respect to its Agent
Members.
The Trustee shall
have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of
any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or
among Agent Members in any Global Security) other than to require
delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence
as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly
required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same
to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express
requirements hereof.
Section 2.06
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities . In case
any Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or
stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its
written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by
the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, a
new Security, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding,
in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu
of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or
stolen. In every case, the applicant for a substituted Security
shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to
such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss,
liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such
substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the
applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if
applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and
of the ownership thereof.
Following receipt
by the Trustee or such authenticating agent, as the case may be, of
satisfactory security or indemnity and evidence, as described in
the preceding paragraph, the Trustee or such authenticating agent
may authenticate any such substituted Security and make available
for delivery such Security. Upon the issuance of any substituted
Security, the Company may require the payment by the holder of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses connected therewith. In case any Security which has
matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption or
has been tendered for purchase upon a Fundamental Change or on a
Redemption Date (and not withdrawn) or is to be converted into
Common Stock shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or
stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security,
pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the
conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the
case of a mutilated Security), as the case may be, if the applicant
for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the
Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or
in connection with such substitution, and, in every case of
destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the
Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any paying agent or
conversion agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership
thereof.
17
Every substitute
Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Security is
destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to
all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued
hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Securities shall be
held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing
provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment
or conversion or redemption or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all other
rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or
hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement
or payment or conversion or redemption or repurchase of negotiable
instruments or other securities without their surrender.
Section 2.07
Temporary Securities . Pending the preparation of Securities
in certificated form, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an
authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon the
written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary
Securities (printed or lithographed). Temporary Securities shall be
issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the
form of the Securities in certificated form, but with such
omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for
temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company.
Every such temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and
authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the
same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the
same effect, as the Securities in certificated form. Without
unreasonable delay, the Company will execute and deliver to the
Trustee or such authenticating agent Securities in certificated
form and thereupon any or all temporary Securities may be
surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency
maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 3.02 and the
Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make
available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Securities an
equal aggregate principal amount of Securities in certificated
form. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense
and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as
Securities in certificated form authenticated and delivered
hereunder.
Section 2.08
Cancellation of Securities . All Securities surrendered for
the purpose of payment, redemption, repurchase, conversion,
exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the
Company or any paying agent or any Security Registrar or any
conversion agent, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly
canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be
promptly canceled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu
thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of
this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of such canceled
Securities in accordance with its customary procedures. If the
Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall
not operate as a redemption, repurchase or satisfaction of the
indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the
same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.09
CUSIP Numbers . The Company in issuing the Securities may
use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use),
and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”
numbers in notices of redemption or repurchases as a convenience to
Securityholders; provided that any
18
such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such
numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any
notice of a redemption or a repurchase and that reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities, and any such redemption or repurchase shall not be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company
will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the
“CUSIP” numbers.
ARTICLE 3
Particular Covenants of the
Company
Section 3.01
Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest . The Company
will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of

Article 14), and Interest, on each of the Securities at the
places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein
and in the Securities.
Section 3.02
Maintenance of Office or Agency . The Company will maintain
an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New
York, where the Securities may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or for
conversion, redemption or repurchase and where notices and demands
to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the
location, of such office or agency not designated or appointed by
the Trustee. If at any time the Company 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.
The Company may
also from time to time designate co-registrars and one or more
offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written
notice of any such designation or rescission and of any change in
the location of any such other office or agency.
The Company hereby
initially designates the Trustee as paying agent, Security
Registrar, Custodian and conversion agent and the Corporate Trust
Office shall be considered as an office or agency of the Company
for each of the aforesaid purposes.
Section 3.03
Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office .
The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the
office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in
Section 6.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a
Trustee hereunder.
Section 3.04
Provisions as to Paying Agent . If the Company shall appoint
a paying agent other than the Trustee, or if the Trustee shall
appoint such a paying agent, the Company will cause such paying
agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which
such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of this Section 3.04:
19
(1) that it will
hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the
principal of and premium, if any, or Interest on the Securities
(whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any
other obligor on the Securities) in trust for the benefit of the
holders of the Securities;
(2) that it will
give the Trustee notice in writing of any failure by the Company
(or by any other obligor on the Securities) to make any payment of
the principal of and premium, if any, or Interest on the Securities
when the same shall be due and payable; and
(3) that at any
time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of
the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held
in trust.
The Company shall,
at least one Business Day prior to each due date of the principal
of, premium, if any, or Interest on the Securities, deposit with
the paying agent a sum (in funds which are immediately available on
the due date for such payment) sufficient to pay such principal,
premium, if any, or Interest, and (unless such paying agent is the
Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of
any failure to take such action; provided that such deposit
shall be received by the paying agent no later than 10:00 a.m.
New York City time, one Business Day prior to such payment due
date.
(a) If the
Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or before
each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or Interest on
the Securities, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the
benefit of the holders of the Securities a sum sufficient to pay
such principal, premium, if any, or Interest so becoming due and
will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take
such action and of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor
under the Securities) to make any payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or Interest on the Securities when the same shall
become due and payable.
(b) Anything
in this Section 3.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other
reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in
trust by the Company or any paying agent hereunder as required by
this Section 3.04, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon
the trusts herein contained and upon such payment by the Company or
any paying agent to the Trustee, the Company or such paying agent
shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
sums.
(c) Anything
in this Section 3.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this
Section 3.04 is subject to Sections 11.03 and
11.04.
The Trustee shall
not be responsible for the actions of any other paying agents
(including the Company if acting as its own paying agent) and shall
have no control of any funds held by such other paying
agents.
Section 3.05
Existence . Subject to Article 10, the Company will do
or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in
full force and effect its existence and rights (charter and
statutory); provided that the Company shall not be required
to preserve any such right if the Company shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct
of
20
the business of
the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any
material respect to the Securityholders.
Section 3.06
Payment of Taxes and Other Claims . The Company will pay or
discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same may
become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental
charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Material

or any Material Subsidiary, (ii) all claims for labor,
materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien

which may be imposed by the United States or any political
subdivision thereof or therein in connection with the issuance,
transfer, exchange, conversion, redemption or repurchase of any
Securities or with respect to this Indenture other than pursuant to
Section 2.06; provided that, in the case of clauses
(i) and (ii), the Company shall not be required to pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim (A) if the failure to do so will
not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse impact on the
Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (B) if the
amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings.
Section 3.07
Rule 144A Information Requirement . Within the period
prior to the date that is one year after the last original issue
date of the Securities, the Company shall, during any period in
which it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the
Exchange Act, make available to any holder or beneficial holder of
Securities or any Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof which
continue to be Restricted Securities in connection with any sale
thereof and any prospective purchaser of Securities or such Common
Stock designated by such holder or beneficial holder, the
information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act upon the request of any holder or beneficial holder
of the Securities or such Common Stock and it will take such
further action as any holder or beneficial holder of such
Securities or such Common Stock may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such holder or
beneficial holder to sell its Securities or Common Stock without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemption provided by Rule 144A, as such Rule may be amended
from time to time. Upon the request of any holder or any beneficial
holder of the Securities or such Common Stock, the Company will
deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.
Section 3.08
Stay, Extension and Usury Laws . The Company (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which
would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any
portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or Interest on the
Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any
time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture and the Company (to the extent it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of
any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such
law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 3.09
Compliance Certificate . The Company shall deliver to the
Trustee, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of
each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers’

such defaults and the nature and the status thereof of which the
signer may have knowledge.
The Company will

(i) any default in the performance or observance of any
covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, or
